Nightwatcher Chapter 45: The depths of the cellar

"How do we subordinates know these things."

The little maid bowed her head and shook her head, knowing what to say and what not to say.

Li Lingsu got up and left the bed, walked to the table, put his hands on the table, leaned forward, looked down at the little maid in an aggressive posture, and raised the corner of his mouth:

"Little girl has to be obedient and cute to be likable."

Dujuan's small face flushed suddenly, with his head down, he didn't dare to look directly at Li Lingsu, weak and weak:

"Yes, just know a little. Lord, you have to promise not to disclose it, otherwise the slave and maid will be miserable."

The eyes are bright, like stars, handsome features, extraordinary temperament... But whoever is a girl who is pregnant, who can resist my charm!

Li Lingsu let out a cold sigh.

"Don't worry, I won't disclose it."

He smiled and promised.

"The relationship between the eldest and the master is very good, but the eldest does not seem to be willing to marry the Huangfu family. She has pleaded with the master many times and went on a hunger strike for a few days."

Chai Lan didn't want to marry Huangfu's family. In order to resist, she even went on a hunger strike... Li Lingsu frowned and said to her heart why Xing'er didn't tell me this. .

"Then, what about the relationship between the eldest lady and Chai Xian?" Li Lingsu asked pensively.

"As close as brothers and sisters." Du Juan said.

"Between them, is there, um, love between men and women?" Li Lingsu tentatively asked.

"Well, how does this servant know..." Dujuan was embarrassed.

He then asked about the relationship between several key members of the Chai family. When asked about the relationship between Chai Xing'er and Chai Jianyuan, Du Juan said:

"Auntie and Patriarch had conflicts before."

Li Lingsu squinted his eyes and said calmly, "Oh? Tell me in detail what's going on."

Cuckoo hesitated and said:

"That happened many years ago. The ex-uncle’s surname was Liu. The Liu family and the Chai family were family friends. Later, the Liu family fell into disarray. My uncle went to the Chai Mansion. Later, my uncle and the Patriarch had an accident when they went out. Failed to come back alive.

"But I heard that there seems to be an inside story about my uncle's death, and my aunt and the Patriarch had a big fight..."

She paused and did not continue.

Speaking of this, it's already over the line, and she doesn't even know the specific inside story.

There is something strange about Myolie’s ex-husband’s death? This, during the time when she and I were on good terms, how come I have never heard of...Li Lingsu secretly frowned.

He figured it out right away. Of course, everyone would not mention his aunt’s ex-husband in front of his aunt Chai’s new love.

"Thank you girl Cuckoo for telling it!"

Li Lingsu showed a warm smile comparable to that of a central air conditioner. In the twelfth lunar month, the little maid comforted her body and her cheeks were pink.

After sending the maid named Cuckoo away, Li Lingsu returned to the room and fell on the bed, trying to grasp the truth of the incident in the chaotic fog.

Chai Lan is unwilling to marry Huangfu's family. If I were Chai Xian, I would just elope with the other person....

How did Myolie’s ex-husband die? It seems to be related to Chai Jianyuan? Otherwise, why did the two quarrel with each other... In addition to the biggest beneficiary, she had another motive for killing.

Li Lingsu sighed, turned over and sat up, planning to go to the inn and tell Xu Qian about the inquiries.

"Really, I can investigate it myself. Although Xu Qian has a high level of cultivation, it does not mean that he will investigate the case. Who does he think he is, does Xu Qi'an?"

Li Lingsu murmured, but did not dispel the idea of ​​reporting the news to the bad old man.

.........

Beijing, Xu Mansion.

In the inner hall burning with charcoal fire, the aunt peeled the orange in her hand and said:

"A few days later, when you go to the palace, you must understand the etiquette and peace, and you must not let the lady and the female relatives of the palace despise, understand."

While speaking, she raised her head, looked away from the orange, and looked at the young girl around her who was waiting to eat the orange.

"You are talking about!"

My aunt said in a bad mood: "I know how to eat all day long. Sooner or later I will send you to the Sitianjian to study art."

Today, she wore a moiré embroidered jacket with a dark wrinkled long skirt. In the delicate hair bun, the hosta and golden steps were dotted. It was dignified and beautiful. At first glance, it looked very There is the style of a wealthy lady.

Of course, anyone who knows her aunt knows that she is a golden embroidered pillow.

"Okay, OK, so I can play with sister Caiwei."

Xu Lingyin happily said with the boy's hair bun.

What she really wants to say is that sister Caiwei has a lot of money and can always buy all kinds of delicious food.

But she is not the same Xu Lingyin now, and now she is...

"My mother, how old am I now."

Xu Lingyin asked loudly.

My aunt ignored her, turned her head and said to Xu Lingyue:

"But you can't be bullied anymore, you know, for a big family like the Royal Mansion, none of the ladies in it are friendly. You are weak, and you won't say anything if you are bullied.

"If you are bullied, look for longing. Anyway, keep your feet on your own and know if you don’t. By the way, the elder brother and sister of the prince’s son and the second son are not much different in age and the ring tone. Children have the most headaches. I don’t know the reason...Don’t let the ringtone break others."

Xu Lingyue said, "I know, mother."

Xu Erlang and Ms. Wang's family are going to make an appointment, and there needs to be some etiquette walking between the two families. As the mistress of the family, my aunt is definitely not allowed to show up casually, which does not fit her identity.

Therefore, the contact between the female family members is handed over to sisters Lingyue and Lingyin.

But my aunt is not at ease. I think she is a strange girl who combines beauty and wisdom. Except for the birth of a promising Erlang, the remaining two daughters are not satisfactory.

Xu Lingyue is too weak, she is a soft-spoken receiver, Xu Lingyin is not very smart, she is a stupid girl.

My aunt was afraid that they would go to the palace and be bullied by the royal family.

It's not that my aunt is unreasonably worried, a big family like the Royal Palace, who has a strong sense of superiority. Miss Wang's marriage to Erlang is completely married. How worthy of the Wang family's female family?

Although it won't make a bad face, but the beating of the needle hidden in Mianli will come to mind.

With Xu Lingyue's weak temperament...

"Oh!"

My aunt sighed with hatred for iron not becoming steel.

She stopped thinking about these incidents, and complained: "That Yang Qianhuan, somehow met your eldest brother, I wrote to him, and wanted Si Tianjian to pick up the ringtone as a disciple, but it was too late. Reply."

Xu Lingyue peeled the orange and said, "Mother, Si Tianjian has already answered. I forgot to tell you the letter I received yesterday."

My aunt's eyes lit up and she was pleasantly surprised: "What did Sitianjian say?"

Xu Lingyue said in a low voice: "Senior Brother Yang said that Lingyin is so talented that he could not teach him. He introduced Lingyin to Jianzheng, but Jianzheng ignored him, and even refused to let him gossip. Station."

It turned out to be because of the talent for ringtones!

My aunt felt much better, and after thinking about it, I thought it was better to let her practice with Lina first.

To this day, my aunt has given up on the idea that everyone should start from the baby girl, looking forward to the early marriage of Erlang and Ms. Wang and give her a granddaughter.

The account I raised is not useful, I can only look forward to the trumpet raised by my son.

Thinking of this, my aunt showed a little relief:

"Satisfaction is good and intelligent. Although she is a woman, she reads poems and books. Erlang is also a student. In the future, their children will definitely be smart."

Speaking, she raised her hand, and on her slender white wrists were a pair of emerald green bracelets.

"This bracelet was given to me when I married your father. He said it was handed down by your grandmother. Her mother-in-law left early, and she could not pass it on to her daughter-in-law, so she entrusted him with the bracelet. Let him hand it over to his wife when he gets married in the future."

My aunt remembered her youth for a while, and smiled: "In the future, I will pass it on to Simu. Well, I only give one, and the remaining one is for Dalang's wife."

"Wow, so beautiful."

Xu Lingyin stretched out her chubby little hand: "Mother, show me, show me."

My aunt still spoils the young girl very much, so she took off the bracelet and passed it over, saying: "Be careful, don't knock it out."

While speaking, Xu Pingzhi entered the inner hall with his armor and a long knife around his waist.

Xu Pingzhi is now one of the thousand guards of swordsmen. He has a high position and great power. He has become an upstart among the five guards in the capital. Although there is no title, ordinary nobles must be respectful when they see him.

My aunt sniffed, frowned and said, "Why did you buy another tangerine? There are sweet ones at home."

"I love to eat sour recently."

When my nephew and son were not there, Xu Pingzhi kept his eyes open and talked nonsense.

At this time, he saw the bracelet on the wrist of the young girl Xu Lingyin and was taken aback:

"Why did you give her the family bracelet? What if it breaks."

Xu Lingyin raised her chubby little hand and flaunted: "Father, look at me, what do you look like?"

"What is it like?"

Xu Pingzhi asked subconsciously.

Xu Lingyin said in a crisp voice: "Like your mother."

....... Xu Pingzhi glanced at her, silently put down his helmet and picked up the scabbard.

Xu Lingyin's cry sounded through Xu's house.

...........

Chai Mansion.

Li Lingsu left the room and walked through the compound. He saw the children of the mansion with serious faces, everyone wearing knives, guarding the corridors, courtyards and other entrances.

"What happened?"

He approached a chai mansion boy and asked.

"A thief broke into the cellar last night."

The child surnamed Chai said solemnly.

The cellar....... Li Lingsu was at a loss, and listened to another kid on the side to explain:

"The cellar is where the walking dead are stored."

In the side business of Chai Mansion, there is the business of removing dead bodies, and the cellar is used to store dead bodies. In addition, some corpses have other uses. For example, the children of Chai Mansion and Crown Queen can receive a walking corpse from the cellar as a puppet.

The children of the collateral family can only receive ordinary corpses, while the direct children can receive the blood corpses. The blood corpses are refined by the seniors, and the lowest is the combat power of the refined realm.

If the blood corpse sacrifice can be made into an iron corpse, then the corpse control can be regarded as entering the room.

The strength and defense of the iron corpse is comparable to a martial artist in the sixth-grade copper skin and iron bone realm, but its combat power is weaker. After all, there is no aura and the foresight of dangers tempered in the **** realm.

"Xu Qian said that Chai Xian invaded the cellar last night and was looking for Chai Lan's body...Chai Xian suspected that Chai Lan was dead."

Li Lingsu immediately changed his mind~IndoMTL.com~Not in a hurry to find Xu Qian, after clarifying the location of the cellar, he turned around and left.

Not long after, he came to the inner courtyard and stretched out, a secluded courtyard.

He was blocked by a dozen disciples from the Chai Mansion here.

"Young Master Li, this is the forbidden area of ​​Chai Mansion. You cannot enter."

Li Lingsu frowned, and said displeased: "Uncle, dare to block the way?"

Push everyone away and walk into the courtyard.

The Chai Mansion children looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Go down the steps to the cellar, Li Lingsu immediately covered his nose: "It smells bad."

Soon, he saw rows of corpses, like motionless sculptures.

"The bad old man Xu Qian must like it very much." Li Lingsu muttered.

He also spent some time in the Southern Xinjiang Gu Clan, knowing the virtues of the Gu Master in the Corpse Gu Department.

Li Lingsu knocked his eyebrows, his pupils faded instantly, and his vision instantly changed. This corpse was not a pure walking corpse, and their earth souls were tightly bound in their flesh.

Like immersed stagnant water, silent.

But as long as they are awakened by a suitable method, they will become warriors who know no pain and fear death.

In the Southern Xinjiang Gu Clan, the Heart Gu Department of Imperial Beasts, the Corpse Gu Department that controls the corpse, and the Poison Gu Department that uses poison to invisible, have always been the most troublesome existence.

He strode in, and half a quarter of an hour later, he finally saw a living person, several Chai family children guarding a wooden door.

The wooden door was half open, with candlelight coming out of it.

The cellar in the cellar? What is stored in it? Li Lingsu moved closer, and was blocked again.

"Who is outside."

Xing'er Chai's cold voice came from the wooden door.

"It's me." Li Lingsu said.

The door was silent for a long while, Chai Myolie whispered: "Let him in."
