This wall clearly faces the street outside, but looking out through the dog hole, it faces Shen Yanjin's yard.
Xiao Xu scratched his head and cheek, then squatted down slowly with his back against the wall to think, holding his chin with his hand. The hem of his skirt swept across the bluestone slab, covering a small area. The embroidered shoes were playfully hidden inside. When the wind blew, the gold threads under the corners of the shoes could occasionally be seen.
Just when he was thinking about asking Fu Qiyin, he unexpectedly spoke first: "Don't doubt it, this yard is weird. If I'm not mistaken, the number of ghost sightings you've seen has skyrocketed since you moved in here, right?"
Xiao Yu pinched the wildflowers by the wall and said, "That seems to be the case."
The petals of wild flowers are soft and easy to pinch.
"Actually, I noticed it when I followed you into the courtyard, but my original body was in the palace, so my scope of investigation was limited. As for this mansion, I can only say that it is not suitable for ordinary people to live in."
Fu Qiyin added slyly, "However, the things in this mansion seem to be very wary of your young master, although I don't know why."
After saying this, a certain scene appeared in Xiao Xu's mind.
It was a dark night. Shen Yanjin, wearing only a single layer of clothing, held a lantern and walked in a certain direction. The originally dark corridor suddenly lit up with a blue flame, illuminating the entire corridor.
He walked neither fast nor slow, and with each step forward, the green flame in the green lamp on the corridor would first tremble weakly, and then grow larger as if something flammable was burning.
The entire corridor was extremely quiet, so quiet that the only sound one could hear was the long and rippling sound of his footsteps on the wooden planks.
As his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, all the blue flames began to go out quickly starting from the first lamp as if they had received some command.
But within a second or two, the corridor was shrouded in darkness again.
Back to reality, Xiao took a deep breath, put her hands behind her back and climbed up against the wall, before patting her wrinkled dress.
She felt a little scalp tingling.
The look in Shen Yanjin's eyes when he looked up at her made her shiver instantly.
I felt like my legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Is that a human look?
Actually, actually Shen Yanjin is an evil ghost?
Fu Qiyin said slowly, "How could he be an evil ghost? If he is, then what will happen? With a ghost as powerful as him in the world, will he let people live?"
Too.
If he were a ghost, where would his aura and body temperature come from?
Most importantly, all those evil spirits and monsters are terrified of him.
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief and went back to his room to wash his handkerchief.
…
Due to the recent frequent disappearances in the capital, Shen Yanjin was sent to investigate all the information related to the incident. For several consecutive nights, he came back and left without even drinking a sip of hot tea.
After Shen Yanjin took office, the security in the capital became more rigorous. Every street and alley where people could enter would be patrolled by guards every ten minutes or so.
Once something was discovered to be wrong, Shen Yanjin, who was in charge of the incident, went there immediately after receiving the notification.
Perhaps this strict management and system worked, and no more people went missing after five days.
But, nothing is predictable.
On the night when Shen Yanjin returned home to rest, all seven members of a small shop in the capital disappeared. The strange thing was that no one saw any suspicious person enter the shop.
Such a big thing happened in the capital naturally could not escape the emperor's ears. After the old emperor summoned Shen Yan into the palace, he released him not long after.
There were many people who disliked Shen Yanjin and were waiting for him to be punished, but when he came out, he went straight to the scene of the missing case.
