Chapter 228: Lakeside Pavilion
The lake was quiet, reflecting a little bit of starlight and the faint fireflies on the shore.
Gu Zhifei flew across the lake, leaving ripples on the surface and shattering the starry sky.
The lake reflected the camphor tree in the center, which looked a bit fierce. The three of them settled down by the lake and saw at first glance a stone table in the middle of the pavilion with a brazier on it.
Zhou Zhao was very brave. He walked to the stone table first, turned over the brazier, and poured out a basin of black ash and two unburned pieces of paper money.
Gu Zhifei pushed away the black ash and took half of the paper money in his hand. He did not find any marks or clues on the paper money.
She looked at the copper basin again. It was the most common style and could be found in every room in the palace. It also could not be used as a symbol.
"Who could be burning paper money so late at night?" Wang Dexin touched his arm, a little dazed, "Is there really a ghost?"
Gu Zhifei glanced at his height and felt that this sentence was even more speechless than putting makeup on a dead person.
Isn't their mission to catch the ghost and get rid of it? Why does Wang Dexin look so scared of ghosts? No, they are practitioners, what ghosts are they afraid of?
Gu Zhifei was too lazy to talk and opened his spiritual sense to pay attention to the surrounding atmosphere.
Sure enough, she found a person who was running timidly in the opposite direction of the pavilion.
With a thought, Gu Zhifei suddenly appeared in front of the person's extremely surprised eyes, grabbed her ribs, and brought her back to the pavilion.
"Who are you?" Gu Zhifei asked.
The man's legs were trembling, but he endured the fear and stood straight: "I, I, I am the young master's maid, I came to pay my respects to the young mistress."
It sounds like a lie.
If there was someone in this house who cared a little bit about that headless young lady, she wouldn't be left alone to stink in her new house.
Gu Zhifei and the others would believe her!
"Tell the truth!" Wang Dexin waved his hand, holding a mace and laughed, "Otherwise, I will beat you into a pulp!"
Zhou Zhao, who was standing next to him, had sharp eyes and clapped his arms like Wang Dexin did: "Did you hear that? Beat him into a pulp!"
The maid was still afraid, and still didn't say a word of truth:
"I really came here to pay my respects to the young lady. I didn't lie to you."
She pointed at the copper basin on the table and said, "I haven't even finished burning the paper money yet. Can't you tell by looking at it?"
There was indeed some good paper money in the copper basin, but the object of worship was definitely not the headless lady.
Gu Zhifei changed his mind, smiled, and looked down at the maid: "You don't have to hide anymore, we all know that the young master's body is here."
The maid was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold. She tried hard to look into Gu Zhifei's eyes, but couldn't help lowering her head: "What? What are you talking about? Our young master is alive and well. How can you curse others like this!"
Gu Zhifei watched her looking down at her feet, and the answer in his mind became clearer and clearer.
She winked at Zhou Zhao, who immediately understood and knocked the maid unconscious. He then asked Gu Zhifei, "Did you find anything?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Gu Zhifei nodded: "Zhou Zhao, take this maid and stand further away. Wang Dexin, can you tear down this pavilion?"
Wang Dexin was full of doubts, but since he had chosen Gu Zhifei to be the commander, he would unconditionally trust his teammates.
He squatted down, asked Gu Zhifei and Zhou Zhao to stand further away, squatted down, and punched the pavilion.
