Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing listened carefully and indeed heard footsteps coming from the front yard.
She was just about to take Qi Moli back to Xinglin Yaxu to hide for a while.
But the man grabbed her waist with one hand, jumped up, and landed on a paulownia tree not far away.
She stood on the branch and looked down!
Then I saw someone in the front yard holding a dim lantern and using the key to open the door to the backyard.
Si Jinxing broke free from the man's restraints and sat on the branch as thick as a bowl, her legs shaking from time to time.
When watching a show, you still have to sit down, right?
Qi Moli shook his head slightly, then sat down as well. He glanced at the little girl and said,
"Tell that short-legged creature to stay still and not dangle himself down again!"
They were clearly two words of scolding, but the tone was full of doting!
Si Jinxing stretched out her index finger and blocked his lips, and uttered a sound from her own mouth:
"Shh!"
Qi Moli gently pulled down the little hand that was delivered to his door, held it in his hand, then turned his head and looked at the person who entered the backyard.
That person is none other than the Qingcheng County Magistrate, Liu Zuhe!
After he entered the door, he bolted the wooden door from the inside and then walked towards the warehouse.
Seeing this, Si Jinxing smiled and whispered, "Three, two, one!"
As soon as she said "one", a terrified roar came from the room behind!
In the silent night, it sounds particularly sharp!
Immediately afterwards, candlelight lit up in the front yard, probably because the concubine heard the noise.
Soon, an old woman came towards the backyard with a lantern.
But Liu Zuhe bolted the door, so the old woman couldn't get in!
She had no choice but to walk back to the front yard and report to the concubine before allowing the guards outside the yard to enter.
The two guards kicked open the wooden door of the backyard together and ran towards the room in the middle.
Liu Zuhe was originally making love with a beautiful concubine, but suddenly he remembered:
During the day, Mr. Tan came and told me about the ghost in front of the inn.
The Princess of Anping County is dead, and although Chang Run committed suicide, from the perspective of others, this incident happened right under his nose.
And that King Mo Ying has not left until tonight!
It was because of the death of his future princess, but women are like clothes!
How could King Mo Ying, who was feared by ghosts, be sad and upset over a little girl?
So, he was reluctant to leave. Could it be that he was waiting for me to show some sincerity?
When he thought of this, he became anxious. He threw down the beautiful concubine in his arms, put on his robe, and walked quickly towards Wutong Garden.
But what did he see now?
He has a warehouse full of treasures that he has saved for more than ten years!
At this moment, they all disappeared, not even the boxes of gold and silver were left!
He didn't believe it and thought he had walked into the wrong room, so he checked the five rooms in the back building several times!
But he didn't even see a silver ingot!
How could he accept it?
How could he not be dumbfounded?
When the two guards rushed in, they saw Liu Zuhe staring at them with a grim expression and asked:
"Where's the silver? Where's my silver? Where have you been looking after my silver?"
When the guards heard this, they realized that Lord Liu asked them to guard this yard not for people, but for money!
But what does the loss of Lord Liu’s silver have to do with these two?
They said in unison:
"I don't know!"
Liu Zuhe raised the lantern higher, moved closer to the two guards' faces, and said:
“What a clue!
If he can't even do the job of a gatekeeper, there's no need to keep him!
Come, tie them both up and beat them to death with clubs!"
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard opened.
Liu Zuhe looked over there and saw Aunt Sun walking over, supported by a maid.
Perhaps she had walked too fast, she coughed several times before she took a breath and said, "Master, it's so late, what happened?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't come. As soon as she came, Liu Zuhe immediately became angry and cursed:
"You did this, didn't you? This is your yard, so it's very convenient for you to do things here!
Tell me, where did all the things in the warehouse go? As long as you tell me, I won’t hold you accountable! "
When Aunt Sun heard this, she was so frightened that she stumbled back a few steps, then immediately knelt on the ground and said:
"Ever since the master ordered me not to enter the backyard, I have never entered it again!
Master, the keys to the backyard and the warehouse door are in your hands. How can I get in?
Besides, how can I, with my frail body, carry the things out without being discovered by the master?"
She suppressed her cough and spoke these few words intermittently before she let out a sigh of relief.
But Liu Zuhe was furious at the moment. He slapped Aunt Sun in the face and said:
"The contents of the warehouse were lost right under your nose. How can you clearly deny the responsibility?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to the two guards kneeling beside him and said:
"Could it be that you teamed up with the two of them and stole all my money? You bitch!"
As Liu Zuhe was speaking, he was about to slap Aunt Sun again, but suddenly he felt a gust of cold wind passing by from behind.
He looked behind him and saw a man and a woman in white leaning against the door, staring at him.
He didn't know the woman, but he recognized the man!
Isn't that the Chang family's deceased second brother, Chang Run? !
His white clothes were covered in crimson bloodstains, and his face was frighteningly pale!
So, the woman with the curled lips and big smile on her face is...
Princess Anping?
He was responsible for both of their deaths. Was he coming here to seek revenge?
Liu Zuhe was so scared that he knelt on the ground trembling all over. He wanted to run!
But his legs were completely out of control and he couldn't move!
He crawled on the ground, his mouth trembling, and said:
"Princess, County Master, listen to me.
Your death, Princess, has nothing to do with me. I was just following orders and was forced to do something wrong!
Grandma Princess, please don't come to me to take my life!"
Si Jinxing had come out because she had implicated Aunt Sun when she moved the warehouse. She wanted to scare him so that he wouldn't beat someone to death in a fit of rage.
But unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain?
She raised her eyelids slightly and spoke slowly, "Who asked you to kill me? Do you have any evidence?"
Qi Moli, who was hiding in the dark, felt a bit cold when listening to the cold voice of the young woman!
He pressed his eyebrows, feeling helpless.
This girl is addicted to playing ghost!
After Si Jinxing finished speaking, seeing that Liu Zuhe was still hesitant, he stretched out a hand and snapped his fingers!
Suddenly, a cluster of fire ignited on the ground not far from Liu Zuhe!
Liu Zuhe's face turned pale immediately. That...that is a ghost...a ghost fire?
He shuddered, and a warm current flowed down his pants and onto the ground...
