"Huh? Is it possible that there are other demons causing trouble?"

After listening to the butler's story, Jin Dao Wei murmured in a low voice, turned around and exchanged greetings with Qi Jingzhi. They both felt that this matter was not only strange, but also too coincidental, as if they had to catch up on all the weird things inside and outside the county. .

The old man in brown clothes and white hair smacked his lips: "This thing is so evil!"

Jiao Yulang finally turned his attention away from the white golden rat. Since he woke up, this little thing has been holding on to his clothes, like a pendant, and he couldn't be more well-behaved.

There was nothing I could do about it. When the little thing was almost pinched to death by the white-haired old woman, it was Jiao Yulang who stepped forward and chanted sutras to save the poor man?

The little kid who got what he wanted raised his head and said thoughtfully: "People of the same species gather together, and things fall into groups, so naturally demons and monsters will also gather together."

"There are tiger spirits causing trouble in the small Songling County. It is not surprising that there are three or five demons living in such a large county and making friends with each other. But it is really weird that these sneaky things suddenly appear and become demons all at once."

Qi Jingzhi nodded: "The black donkey spirit once mentioned a woman in white, and the silver donkey also has a so-called white sister. We may have hit the right mark this time."

While they were talking, several people had already entered the inner courtyard of Li's house. After passing through a section of corridor, they saw an independent small courtyard in front of them in the distance.

The lights in the courtyard were brightly lit, and the entrance to the courtyard was even more crowded with maids and women, all of whom were peering in.

"That's my master's inner study. He set it up in it when he came back today."

The housekeeper explained something and hurried up to chase the people away: "I don't see any distinguished guests from outside arriving? What does everyone look like in a mess? All the irrelevant people have dispersed!"

The group of servants who were watching the fun immediately dispersed, leaving only two maids who usually served in the study. They reported to the housekeeper with a look of shock on their faces.

"Mrs. Cai came over just now. She only took a look when she entered, said a few words, and then left in fright. Her face was extremely pale, and her feet were weak. She almost fainted and was half-helped by Aunt Wang. It was sent back to the ground."

Hearing this, the housekeeper immediately put on a serious face and said angrily: "Do you still understand the rules? How dare you gossip about the mistress of the house in front of distinguished guests?"

The two maidservants had long been in a state of confusion. Now they were scolded again. Their faces suddenly turned pale and they opened their mouths to beg for mercy.

The housekeeper didn't have time to talk to them, so he waved the two maids aside, turned around and said to Qi Jingzhi and the others: "Senior servants, please come in quickly! Listen, little one, my master is really in trouble."

After saying that, he no longer cared about etiquette and trotted into the yard.

Qi Jingzhi and the others stood at the entrance of the courtyard and could faintly smell a fishy smell. It was indeed different from the silver smell in the empty garden in the western suburbs.

Jin Dao Wei shook his head: "This Li Huang may be in danger... Hey, the Li family's inner courtyard is indeed not very rigorous, and its true colors will show up when something happens."

Qi Jingzhi only had two children in his family, a grandfather and a grandson. He knew nothing about and didn't care about the affairs of the large family's inner house, so he followed him into the courtyard.

Jiao Yulang was still at the end. He came from a wealthy family and was used to this, so he naturally heard the implication of Jin Dao Wei's words.

"Husband and wife are originally from the same forest. Li Huang's room seems to be sparsely populated. If something happens to the head of the family, the uncles and nephews from the side will inevitably come to make trouble. The servants will take advantage of the chaos even if they don't care."

The little boy didn't care what he said: "If Mrs. Li has some scheming, it would be wise to quickly seize the family's property. If she really wants to stay here and ignore it, then Li Huang will be at the bottom."

, I can’t close my eyes even if I’m afraid.”

"Hey! You are not old, but you know a lot. You are worthy of coming from the Marquis Mansion!"

Jin Dao Wei gave Jiao Yulang a thumbs up and got a big white eye in return.

After chatting for a few words in a low voice, a few people entered the study room.

The doors and windows in the room were wide open, but the fishy smell was still extremely strong. Fortunately, it was only pungent and unpleasant, and did not have the strange effect of silver odor that makes people shake their minds and make them unable to see anything.

The housekeeper had already covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, but Qi Jingzhi resisted the smell and walked to the bed with no expression on his face.

He lowered his head and looked attentively, and saw that Li Huang's whole body was tightly wrapped in a brocade quilt, with only his head exposed.

This man looked about forty years old, his eyes were slightly open, his face was blue, his cheeks were fleshless, and he was extremely thin.

Qi Jingzhi turned to look at the housekeeper and asked, "Can your master still speak?"

The butler's eyes were filled with tears, but he also understood the seriousness and nodded quickly: "I have already reported it to you, the superior just asks."

Qi Jingzhi nodded lightly and asked Li Huang on the bed: "You went to the garden in the western suburbs alone during the day, but what did you meet?"

When Li Huang heard the question, his bloodless lips opened and closed slightly, and he was very angry: "I lost my way...I didn't go to the newly bought garden."

Qi Jingzhi immediately frowned: "That garden is in the suburbs. You went there three days ago. How could you get lost?"

"I'm really... really lost. I rode for a long time, but I couldn't... find the place, not even the way back to the city. When I was anxious, I suddenly..."

At this point, Li Huang's eyes suddenly opened wider and his eyes became brighter: "Suddenly, I met a big house that I had never seen or heard of. The words on the front door were

...Yuan Mansion."

"Yuan Mansion?" Qi Jingzhi's eyebrows furrowed even more.

Li Huang nodded: "It's the Yuan Mansion. I felt strange at the time, but I had no other choice but to get off my horse and knock on the door to ask for directions."

"At this moment, the Yuan family happened to have a carriage returning home. Although it was a carriage, it was pulled by a white ox. Two maids in plain clothes and white horses were following the carriage. They were both rare beauties."

Seeing that Li Huang became more and more surprised as he spoke, and his complexion improved a lot. Several people in the room listened silently without interrupting.

"Then, a young lady in silver and white dress got out of the white ox cart. Her appearance was more than ten times more beautiful than those two maids. She really looked like a fairy! Especially the young lady had a fragrant and strange fragrance.

, as soon as I heard it, I felt so drunk that I couldn’t even stand still.”

"When the young lady saw this, she immediately smiled at me, as if flowers were in full bloom, and asked two maids to help me into the Yuan Mansion."

Now even the housekeeper sensed that something was wrong, and stamped his feet: "Sir, why are you so confused! How can such a person in the middle of nowhere get in so easily?"

Li Huang ignored him and continued to talk with a slightly complicated expression.

What happened later was not surprising. Li Huang was left in the guest room of Yuan Mansion by the young lady and slept for a while. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and asked about the way back to the city. Then he reluctantly left.

Before going out, Li Huang shamelessly asked the young lady if she had made a marriage arrangement, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy when she learned that she was still in the boudoir.

One of Miss Yuan's maids in plain clothes saw Li Huang's thoughts, and secretly told him that her daughter also admired Mr. Li, but her family was in decline. She still had a debt of thirty thousand taels that could not be repaid, and the dowry had not yet been paid.

It's been a waste of time. If Mr. Li is willing to pay for it, he doesn't ask for the position of head wife, and they are willing to serve as master and servant.

When Li Huang heard this, he felt overjoyed and immediately agreed. However, he could not help but suspect that it was a scam. He said that he would go home immediately to raise some money and would definitely come back as soon as possible.

He originally wanted to ask someone to find out the origins of the Yuan Mansion, but as soon as he returned home, he felt a little dazed. He thought he had caught a wind while riding a horse, and unexpectedly he ended up like this.

When a few people entered the inner room, Jin Dao Wei consciously stood guard at the door. After hearing this, he shook his head and sighed: "Another lustful stick! It's not cheap at all to make it look like this.

None of them were caught!”

Jiao Yulang stood not far away from him, but he didn't agree with it. He said, "This is obviously a trick of demons and demons. Ordinary people can't resist it, let alone gain any advantage. We met a banker.

Aren’t you also blind?”

The old man curled his lips, not wanting to talk to the little boy.
