Chapter 389 Another One Dies Tomorrow
"My four sons are all dead. They have been buried for some time. I will not let you disturb them. You can examine my two grandsons who were buried not long ago." The eldest princess agreed after considering it.
Over the past month, the men in the family have been dying one after another. If the cause of their death cannot be found, she is really worried that the other grandchildren will also be killed.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi agreed. It would be enough to test two.
After the eldest princess agreed, Butler Qin immediately asked the servants to get tools and took Jiang Yunxi and others to the place where Shen Yu and Shen Lang were buried. When they arrived at the cemetery, it was dark.
Because Shen Yu and Shen Lang were buried close to each other.
Butler Qin asked two groups of people to dig the grave at the same time, and then carefully opened the coffin lid.
Shen Yutang looked at this scene, covering her face with a handkerchief and crying in pain. They were clearly still alive a few days ago, but she didn't expect that they would never wake up again after sleeping.
My father and the others died in the same way. They all fell asleep at night and never woke up the next day. There was no expression of pain on their faces. It was as if they passed away in their sleep, peacefully and serenely.
Jiang Yunxi walked to the coffin. She first looked at Shen Yu's body. Because there was something special in the coffin, his body was still very complete. He was indeed not injured and not poisoned.
Although the dead man had no pulse, she still took his pulse. His pulse was very steady before his death. It was indeed as Shen Yutang said, he died in his sleep.
Then, she went to check Shen Lang's body. Like Shen Yu, he was not injured or poisoned, and his pulse was very stable before his death.
"Miss Yun, have you found anything?" Shen Yutang walked forward and asked.
"Yes, they died from a curse." Jiang Yunxi said very confidently, just like the withering curse she was cursed with, as long as they were cursed, they would automatically die when the time was up.
There is no need for anyone to do anything.
The same goes for those who died in the Princess's Mansion. They were cursed with the same curse, and when the time comes, they will die in their sleep.
"Curse..." Shen Yutang widened her eyes. No wonder the coroner couldn't say anything after the autopsy. Most people probably wouldn't understand this at all. Although she had seen it in storybooks, she didn't know what a curse was.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at the two bodies and said, "Cover the coffins and bury them."
Their souls are not here. They must have been reincarnated or eliminated long ago.
On the way here, Zhan Beiyuan told her that the Apocalypse Empire attached great importance to metaphysics and also had a powerful imperial teacher who was proficient in all kinds of strange techniques.
But I don’t know if it’s from the Southern Barbarians.
Butler Qin quickly asked the servants to cover the coffin and carefully re-buried the soil. Then everyone kowtowed three times, asking the eldest and second sons not to blame them for opening the coffin.
In the carriage on the way back.
Jiang Yunxi asked Shen Yutang to tell her the specific date of death for each person, and she quickly figured it out. "One person dies every seven days. Shen Lang died five days ago, and today is the sixth day. That means another person will die tomorrow."
Shen Yutang was terrified, her face pale, her eyes wide. "If another one dies tomorrow, this, this... Miss Yun, since you know it's a curse, you must have a solution, right?"
"Let's go back to the Princess's Mansion first and call out all the men with the surname Shen. I want to see if they are cursed." Jiang Yunxi said.
"Okay." Shen Yutang quickly agreed.
It was completely dark when the group arrived at the Princess's Mansion.
As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw two middle-aged men in Taoist robes performing a ritual.
Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly. Is there a ghost here?
There is no ghost, so why set up an altar or perform any rituals? He must be here to cheat people out of money at the Princess's mansion!
"Yutang, have you found anything?" Mrs. Shen quickly stepped forward and asked anxiously after seeing them come back.
"Mother……"
"Let me tell you." Jiang Yunxi interrupted her, and then briefly described her autopsy in front of everyone. She also said that there was no evil spirit in the Princess's Mansion and there was no need to perform any rituals.
The middle-aged man in gray Taoist robes looked at Jiang Yunxi gravely, "Miss, if you don't understand, you don't have to say anything. It's obvious that the Princess's Mansion is filled with yin energy and there are evil spirits at work."
"Oh, you mean the evil spirit killed people?" Jiang Yunxi raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
"That's right, as long as we get rid of the negative energy and eliminate the evil spirits, that will be enough." Fu Dechang said confidently.
"Okay, now catch an evil spirit and show it to me." Jiang Yunxi looked like he was watching a show.
Fu Dechang said coldly: "We are casting a spell. If you hadn't interrupted us, we might have caught him by now."
Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly: "Go on, I'll just watch you guys catch them here."
Fu Dechang snorted coldly, and continued to wave his sword with another Taoist priest, ringing bells and burning talismans, but after all the trouble, he caught nothing.
“Didn’t you say you could catch him?” Mrs. Shen frowned.
"Madam, that ghost is really powerful and hides very well." Fu Dechang hurriedly stepped forward and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. How could there be no ghost?
Logically speaking, in a place like the Princess's Mansion, there must be servants who died unjustly, and there must be ghosts.
Jiang Yunxi smiled, she put her hands together and quickly formed a seal to set up a formation, then took out a talisman and lit it. In an instant, ghosts appeared one after another in everyone's sight.
"See? These are ghosts, but I summoned them from outside. There are none in the Princess's Mansion."
"This, this, this..." Fu Dechang's eyes widened as he looked at those ghosts. He took several steps back in shock. My goodness, she actually summoned so many ghosts.
Everyone: “…”
They saw a ghost!
Jiang Yunxi looked at Madam Shen, "Madam, Master Shen and the others have been cursed. They will die when the time comes. According to the rules, the next one to die will be tomorrow."
Madam Shen's face turned pale. She looked at the nanny behind her and said urgently, "Madam Li, go quickly and call out all the young masters in the mansion."
Matron Li: "Yes."
Madam Shen glared at Fu Dechang and the other man and said in a deep voice, "How dare they come to the Princess's residence to cheat us? Kick them out."
Fu Dechang glanced at Jiang Yunxi, then immediately packed up his things and ran away quickly with his companions.
A moment.
All the young masters in the Princess's Mansion came, including the first, second, third, and fourth wives. Except for the deceased Shen Yu and Shen Lang, there were eight other young masters.
"Miss Yun, take a look and see if they are cursed." After seeing the summoned ghosts, Mrs. Shen knew that this girl had real skills.
Jiang Yunxi stared at the eight young men, examining them closely, his expression changing constantly. "How strange! I don't see any signs of a curse on them."
But judging from the bodies of Shen Yu and Shen Lang, they were clearly cursed by the Word Spirit. The person who cast the curse set a death time for each of them. If the curse was not lifted, they would die in their sleep when the time came.
"Isn't this a curse?" Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, which meant that her son would not die.
"No, they should have been cursed, but it was covered by something and people couldn't see it." When Jiang Yunxi said this, he looked around. There was something strange about this mansion.
"It's strange, why are all the dead men?" Qian Heng asked in confusion.
