Chapter 5 Temptation

When Hua Gu rushed over, there was already a circle of people under the wall. Heads were also poked out from the building next to the wall. Onlookers pointed at the things inside and whispered, but no one dared to take a step forward.

She pushed the crowd away and walked in, but her eyes were stinged by the large pool of red on the ground. A bunch of blood woven a complex net along the cracks of the rocks. By accident, the front of her boots was dyed red. Huagu frowned and took a few steps back, and whispered to the servant who rushed over to her first step, "What's going on? Whose blood is this?"

The servant was so scared that he trembled. "I was just in Xiaojie. I heard a scream and ran over quickly. However, I only saw the blood and didn't see anyone at all. But when I heard the sound, I looked like a little Jian in my aunt's courtyard."

"Xiao Jian? He just got out of my room, why did he get so quickly..." Hua Gu's heart suddenly surged into what Xiao Jian said before leaving, frowned, and ordered with a calm face, "Look everywhere, the gate of the courtyard is locked well. He is so big, can he fly away?"

The servant agreed to retreat. Huagu looked around and raised his voice, "Stop looking, go back to the room. Maybe someone accidentally knocked his head. It's nothing big, everyone have fun."

The crowd gradually dissipated, but Hua Gu did not leave. She stared at the blood on the ground. It was still swimming along the cracks of the rocks. Some of them had already been deeply trapped in the soil, dyeing the black soil dark red. After staring at it for a long time, she raised her head and asked the Madam Hua behind her, "Just now, have you really seen the paper horse?"

Madam Hua was so scared that she was out of her mind. When she heard her question, she quickly knelt down, "Aunt, it would be fine if she saw it alone, but Xiao Jian and I both saw the paper horse rushing into our mansion. In addition... there is... there is... there is...."

"what else?"

"There's another person."

"What does it look like?"

"I'm not big, but I look like a minor child. However, I can't see the other parts clearly."

The figure I saw in Lingyun Mountain tonight was also a half-aged child. Hua Gu's heart moved, her fingers clenched tightly, and she clenched into two fists. She looked at Madam Hua, "The incident tonight must not be spread, and she will remind everyone below."

Madam Hua agreed to go down. Huagu stared at the blood for a while, and suddenly she felt dizzy. She sat down with a green sandalwood next to her, and her mind was filled with tangerines: the high wall of the yard was covered with flower vines, and the dense green leaves made the flowers in the teng more cute. The whole wall looked like a beautiful piece of silk. In the middle of the yard, there was a pavilion made of glass, and the colorful pavilion shone coldly under the moonlight. If there were no large pieces of blood on the ground, the yard should have been like a fairyland on earth, but the thick blood on the ground turned this place into hell, a hell on earth. On the wall, in the pavilion, on the ground, on the ground, on the ground, on the ground, there were blood beads condensed in the heart of the flower. When the wind blew, it scattered all over the ground. But where are people? Where have people gone? Why don’t there be no one?

A grim face flashed through her mind. Hua Gu's face stopped and she stood up again with the tree trunk. She glanced at the blood on the ground again, turned around, and walked heavily towards her courtyard.

"It seems that my high-powered father-in-law still doesn't believe me, so he asked Lord Liu to come here and investigate the case thoroughly." Qin Yingbao sneered and began to play with the cup lid in front of him again.

"No matter who instructs it, if Lord Qin has a clear conscience and check it a few more times, it will be the same result. It cannot be true or false." Liu Xuzhang obviously had something in his words.

Qin Yingbao raised his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I didn't go anywhere on the night when my wife died. County Magistrate Cheng has checked this. If Lord Liu is interested, I can call all the servants and servants. You can ask them one by one. Besides, my wife's way of death is very strange. If Lord You see the body, you will know that it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do. If I really want to kill someone, why should I use such troublesome means?"

"So, was she really killed by Xie Xiaoyu? I heard from Lord Cheng that Miss Xie was possessed by an evil spirit and killed several people in your mansion. However, where is Xie Xiaoyu's body now? You also know that if you want to report your life, it is impossible to rely solely on witnesses. After all, these people are from your mansion, and the Censor will not believe what they say."

Hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Qin Yingbao's eyes. He was afraid that this uneasiness would be noticed by Liu Xuzhang. He quickly lowered his head, "I have burned her body and turned into ashes before she could be found."

After seeing Liu Xuzhi away, Qin Yingbao walked out of the back door, rode a fast horse waiting outside the door, and ran to the south of the city like flying. After running for about half an hour, the horse stopped beside a remote courtyard. Qin Yingbao jumped off the horse and knocked on the door. Soon, a little maid opened the door and welcomed him in, looked around and closed the door heavily.

Qin Yingbao ran quickly towards the inner room, shouting while running, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu."

After a while, the figure he had been thinking about day and night finally appeared. Xie Xiaoyu stood inside the door, bowed to him, and then stood still, quietly looking at him.

Qin Yingbao held her hand, looked up and down, and then asked the little maid beside him, "Did you eat today?"

The little maid looked embarrassed, "No...No." Seeing Qin Yingbao's brows tighter and tighter, she quickly added, "I made all kinds of foods as the adult said, both sweet and sour, sweet and spicy, but the lady didn't even look at them."

Qin Yingbao wanted to get angry, but saw Xie Xiaoyu beside him still dazed, afraid that he would startle her again, so he whispered to the maid, "Call Yan Kewang out, I have something to ask him."

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Yan Kewang walked into the house. Qin Yingbao was holding Xie Xiaoyu's hand and asking about his well-being. When he saw him in, he immediately raised a face, "Why is the lady still like this? She has not yet entered the rice and doesn't even say a word."

Yan Kewang was about to move out his big principle of "soul not awake", but suddenly his collar was grabbed by Captain Qin. His body was still weak, and he was pulled like this, and he immediately coughed up. The spitting star flew over Qin Yingbao's face. Qin Yingbao let go and threw him on the ground and wiped his face, "Yan Kewang, don't be foolish with me. Lin Jie only gave you half. When will Xiaoyu be all cured, the other half will be given to you. You'd better cure Xiaoyu as soon as possible, otherwise I won't even make you climb out of this house."
