In the main courtyard.
Walking behind the clouds, I don't know that the "bustle" is approaching.
He had been frightened by the ghost daughter for most of the night and his face was already blue. When Xiao Chenyan threw half of the account book that someone had copied in front of him.
Yun Houxing felt a black screen in front of his eyes and almost fainted.
This account book was hidden in a secret room by him, how could it fall into Xiao Chenyan's hands! !
Everyone, Xiao Chenyan closed his eyes and twirled the Buddhist beads. Even though he was wearing a fox fur coat and looked pale and sick, it couldn't cover up the smell of blood and gore on his body.
Yun Houxing's mind was in a mess and he felt cold all over. He couldn't figure it out! He couldn't figure out how the situation had come to this point.
All he had to do was wait for the Luo family to get rid of the evil ghost Yun Qingwu, and then he would have some time to breathe and find another way to deal with Xiao Chenyan.
But now…
Yun Houxing's eyes were full of murderous intent. If Xiao Chenyan didn't die, he would be the one to die!
But this man is not so easy to kill.
Instantly, Yun Houxing realized that something was wrong. He looked at the man who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed and gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"One way to live, one way to die, you choose."
"A way out?" Yun Houxing sneered. With Xiao Chenyan's temper, he didn't kill him immediately after getting the account book. It was obvious that he wanted to get something else from him. "I wonder what way out the prince gave me?"
"Ten years ago, the truth about the battle in the North."
Yun Houxing was so shocked that he stood up immediately, but he was met with Xiao Chenyan's eyes that suddenly opened, looking like an eagle and a wolf, and his body swayed and he almost fell down.
"What truth? I don't understand what the prince is talking about!"
Xiao Chenyan was too lazy to play witty words with him, "In ten years, you climbed up the ranks by stepping on the corpses of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, all the way to the Minister of Revenue. According to the account book, you embezzled 1.71 million taels of silver."
"I will give you a chance. Write a confession and confess that you are the mastermind behind the framing of the Marquis of Zhenguo and a few others. I will save your life."
"Or else, you must make up the embezzled money within ten days. Otherwise, the contents of the account book will spread throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto in ten days."
Yun Houxing felt a chill in his teeth and cheeks. Which of these two roads could lead to survival?
He really didn't expect that after so many twists and turns, Xiao Chenyan still wanted to overturn the verdict for the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion!
Did Xiao Chenyan just want to get back the truth for the Zhenguo Marquisate? No! He also wanted to find out the truth about the former crown prince's self-immolation!
No matter which road it is, it will not be a way to survive for Yun Houxing!
When Yun Houxing was feeling flustered, he heard a deafening noise outside.
He was furious: "What's the noise outside!"
With a bang, a figure rushed in, his scalp was pitted and covered in blood.
Before Yun Houxing could see who it was, he was knocked to the ground.
"I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood!!"
Yun Qingwu controlled Luo's body, laughed devilishly, bit off Yun Houxing's ear, and then tore off a piece of flesh.
The man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Xiao Chenyan next to him was completely ignored.
Xiao Chenyan raised his brows slightly, thinking it was Qing Wu's masterpiece.
He admired it for a while with an expressionless face. The beads in his hand became hotter and hotter, as if urging him to leave quickly.
“Help! Help me—”
Yun Houxing was so desperate that he even went to Xiao Chenyan for help.
Xiao Chenyan said calmly, "Minister Yun and his wife are very close, so I won't disturb you two."
"Minister Yun, you must stay alive and hold on for a few more days. I am still waiting for your choice."
After saying that, he ignored Yun Houxing's cries for help, strode away, and considerately closed the door.
Xiao Chenyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Lock it up."
They didn't bring the door lock, but the black-armored guards were incredibly efficient. They found wooden boards from somewhere and nailed shut all the doors and windows of the Yunhou Building.
It is imperative that Minister Yun and Mrs. Luo stay in the house in love and respect each other, and no one else can disturb them!
The black-armored guards had strange expressions on their faces. If Xiao Chenyan had not instructed them before they came, there would be a lot of noise in the Shangshu Mansion that day and they only needed to watch and not take any action.
I'm afraid that by the time the 'fun' comes, they will have already pulled out their pants.
Even Xiao Chenyan was silent for a moment when he came out and saw the chaotic scene in the Shangshu Mansion.
You don't have to think about it to know who is responsible for this excitement.
It's true... it makes people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at it.
only……
Xiao Chenyan looked at the paper people and paper horses running by, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Those paper figures and paper horses must be the ones they brought over earlier.
"Let's go," he led his men to another place.
Baisui came quietly from the other side, his face full of horror: "I checked the dark room, and it's empty."
Xiao Chenyan was silent for a few more breaths: "Where is Yun Qingwu?"
Baisui swallowed his saliva and subconsciously touched the talisman on his body that was burning. "She's gone. As soon as she left, the Luo family and the servants in the Shangshu Mansion who had contact with her went crazy, like they were possessed by ghosts."
On his way here, Baisui encountered several people who were possessed by ghosts. At first, those people wanted to pounce on him, but when the red talismans on his body burned him, those guys all avoided him like frightened rabbits.
Thinking about how he had been planning to throw away the talisman earlier and how Qing Wu had frightened him, Baisui now only wanted to go back and burn some incense for Qing Wu.
You can’t mess with this girl. You have to keep her as a treasure from now on!
The group quickly left the Shangshu Mansion.
Baisui and others felt a little regretful. If it weren't for the fact that this was just a ghost show, they would really like to stay and take a look.
When Xiao Chenyan entered the carriage, he saw the woman with her eyes closed and her cheek in her hand, looking as if she was sleeping lazily. She was very beautiful, but in a strange way that did not belong to this world.
"Have you finished watching the fun?" His eyelids opened along with the lazy tone of voice, and the light in his black mercury-like eyes was lively and cunning, which dispersed the dead air and left only vitality.
"It's very exciting." Xiao Chenyan looked at her and suddenly said, "The secret room in Yunhouxing is empty. What are you doing?"
Qing Wu blinked: "Guess?"
Xiao Chenyan didn't guess, and continued: "The Queen of Yun embezzled a total of 1.71 million taels of silver. Judging from the crime, it is not too much to exterminate the entire clan."
"So much? I thought it was only 400,000 taels."
The carriage suddenly became quiet.
Qing Wu met the man's meaningful gaze.
She: Oh wow~
Qing Wu pretended to be obedient and blinked, this four hundred thousand taels was her 'dowry', she was not going to use the 'dowry' to subsidize her man.
If you feel sorry for a man, you will be unlucky for several lifetimes.
Even if the other party is Xiao Chenyan, no matter how close their old friendship is, money cannot be discussed.
Qing Wu changed the subject: "The three Yi tribes may not be enough. The Luo family still has hundreds of lives, and they are all children."
"You can ask someone to investigate the disappearance of these children in Beijing."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes darkened when he heard this: "Hundreds of children died?"
Qing Wu nodded: "I think the two demons named Wushuang Wuji were also related to this matter. Have their origins been found out?"
Xiao Chenyan: "These two demons suddenly appeared a few days ago. After leaving the city, they were taken to the Shangshufang. Now they are dead. It is a bit troublesome to investigate their origins."
Qing Wu raised her eyebrows: Is it my fault?
"If you encounter trouble, then solve it." Qing Wu had an 'I believe you' expression on her face: "Your Highness Prince Yan, please help and sprinkle some water~"
Xiao Chenyan: "..." He ignored her jokes and gave instructions to investigate the missing children.
Qing Wu also had her own plan. For Yu Qi, capturing souls was just like stealing heads from the underworld!
Personally, are the souls of her parents and brothers in a similar situation, which is why they disappeared without a trace?
The old emperor was obsessed with seeking immortality and ignored state affairs, leaving all to the Eastern Palace. His subordinates followed suit, and these ghost and god-related practices became rampant.
All kinds of monsters and demons emerged in the land of Dayong.
When it comes to soul-binding, there are many people who are so daring as to try to take risks and risk their lives.
But this happened to someone close to Yun Houxing, so Qing Wu felt that this was a clue worth pursuing.
While his mind was turning over a thousand times, he heard Xiao Chenyan say:
"I have heard that ghosts will stay in the human world only if they are filled with hatred. If they have their revenge, they will leave."
Qing Wu tilted her head and met those gloomy phoenix eyes.
"Has the princess's revenge been avenged?"
Qing Wu did not answer but asked: "Your Highness, do you still think I am a ghost? Are you worried that humans and ghosts will go their separate ways?"
"As long as I can use them, it doesn't matter if they are humans or ghosts."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were very deep. He had been preparing for war for ten years, and had already smoothed out his youthful edge. Instead, he restrained his deep and unfathomable nature, like an inkstone that holds an inkstone. This deep nature was deep enough to accommodate even greater ambitions and courage.
Qing Wu's smile faded a little: "Your Majesty, it's better not to provoke ghosts. Once you get entangled with them, it will be very difficult to get rid of them."
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were gloomy: Like you?
Qing Wu changed the subject: "I am different. I am virtuous, kind, and like a couple, the prince and I are of one mind and one heart. After I came, does the prince feel that his body is healthier~"
She stretched out her ghost claws, and Xiao Chenyan immediately grasped her wrist. Qing Wu climbed up the pole and hugged his arm, not caring about the man's expression, and first leaned close to him to absorb a few breaths of evil spirit.
The smell of gas in the Shangshu Mansion really made her feel sick.
Xiao Chenyan could clearly feel her curves and softness. His back tensed and he wanted to push her away, but there seemed to be an uncontrollable desire deep in his body.
Whenever he was close to her, his cold symptoms would be alleviated.
It's like sweet dew that has been long awaited, but also like a moth flying into a flame.
But for someone like Xiao Chenyan, it was more like drinking poison to quench thirst.
The woman next to me is the poison.
He doesn't mind fighting fire with fire, but he won't allow himself to lose control.
Xiao Chenyan pulled his arm free and just stood up to move away from Qing Wu when the carriage suddenly stopped.
He was tall and could keep steady by holding on to the car wall with his hands, but Qing Wu was caught off guard. She was sitting in an awkward position and leaning sideways, and was suddenly bumped, with her head hitting Xiao Chenyan's direction hard.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chenyan was just about to get up.
The angle was just right and the timing was so perfect that Qing Wu's head, like a stubborn stone, hit him right under his abdomen, the most vulnerable part of a man.
"ah!"
“Hmm—”
Qing Wu sat down in a panic, and when she looked up, she saw the man's originally fair and handsome face, now pale as a zombie that had been dead for three days, with veins bulging on his forehead and his tall and strong body hunched over for a few feet.
Look at her eyes, that is blood! sea! deep! hatred!
Qing Wu's heart trembled, and she glanced at his waist and abdomen. It's all over...
"Xiao Chenyan, are you okay?"
"It's over, it's over, it's all over, don't be silent, just blink if you can't bear it anymore!"
"Calm down, as long as it's not broken, there's still hope. I'll try my best to reconnect it for you!"
