Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 168 Something fishy is going on in Tong Mansion (3)

The Tong Mansion is haunted! This is the unanimous opinion of all the servants in the mansion.

The first people to be afraid were the two maids who took turns guarding outside little Hesheli's door. They were the first to discover little Hesheli's death, but in order to escape Li Si'er's punishment, both of them pretended not to see or hear.

"Do you think it's credible that the lady turned into a ghost?" Aunt Jia said a little nervously.

"How can I explain this?" said Nanny Yi, paying attention to the movements around her.

"The doctor came to Madam Li's house to diagnose her, but couldn't find anything. And yet Madam Li had a miscarriage for no apparent reason. Isn't this obvious enough?" Aunt Jia had asked the servant who led the doctor.

Nanny Yi tried to remain calm, "There are so many cases of inexplicable miscarriages. How can you be sure that Madam Li's miscarriage was strange? In my opinion, there must be someone behind this."

Aunt Jia came closer and said to Aunt Yi, "Do you know what the doctor said?"

Nanny Yi gestured to Nanny Jia in a panic to continue, as it was creepy to stop speaking in the middle of a sentence.

Grandma Jia said mysteriously, "The doctor just hinted that the lady's stomach was hit hard by a cold and yin object, so she didn't give birth to the child."

Aunt Yi leaned against Aunt Jia fearfully, "That's it, isn't it?"

Jia Ma also leaned against Yi Ma and continued, "Besides, the doctor said that after seeing blood, the dirt will only get worse."

Nanny Yi was so scared that her legs went weak. "Tell me, Madam won't cause trouble for us, right?"

Grandma Jia only said, "I heard that the Third Master has already hired a shaman for Madam Li. It should be of some use, right?"

Mammy Yi began to think, "If they can't take revenge on the culprit directly, will they take it out on us?"

Aunt Jia followed Aunt Yi's thoughts and began to pray with her eyes closed, "Madam, every wrong has its perpetrator, and I have no choice. This whole family is in the hands of Aunt Li, and I have no choice but to obey!"

Nanny Yi also closed her eyes and begged for mercy, "Yes, yes, it's all Aunt Li's fault. I have never done anything to Madam!"

The two maids were making quite a lot of noise. Others just looked at their nervous expressions and kept begging for mercy. They felt scared and could only report to Longkodo that someone was possessed by evil spirits!

Longkodo did not believe in ghosts and gods. Even if little Hesheli really turned into a ghost, she was a coward when she was alive. Could she become powerful after her death?

Now the whole Tong Mansion was in a panic. Longkodo didn't want to make a bigger deal out of it, so he could only order people to send the two maids out of the mansion to recuperate, and then warned the people under him not to have any undue thoughts.

But the more Longkodo thought about covering his mouth, the more frightened the people below him became.

Starting from the day Li Si'er had a miscarriage, everyone walked around the mansion in anxiety, until the seventh day, something happened!

On this day, before dawn, the cook opened the kitchen door. Li Si'er had a miscarriage that injured her health, so she had to drink a bowl of tonic ginseng chicken soup every day. This time, the soup had to be made freshly, so the cook had to come early to prepare it.

However, before entering the kitchen, the cook smelled a faint smell of blood. She frowned and hurried inside. Who cleaned the kitchen so carelessly yesterday?

But as soon as the door was opened, the cook screamed and fainted.

The screams attracted people nearby, and they bravely went to the kitchen to check. If there weren't so many people, they would have been frightened like the cook and fainted.

There was no living thing in the kitchen. The chickens and ducks that were alive and kicking last night were all dead, and the fish in the basin had their stomachs turned upside down. If that were the case, it wouldn't be a big deal. The most frightening thing was that the chickens and ducks in the cages had their eyes and tongues dug out, their limbs chopped off, and finally their bellies cut open, leaving them in the cages covered in blood.

The deaths of chickens and ducks are so specific, how can they not be scary?

The men in the family were still attending the morning court, and the women in the mansion could not bear such a bloody scene. In the end, it was Da Hesheli who gave orders to the housekeeper in a roundabout way, to send the cook home to rest, clean up the kitchen, and let the servants control their mouths. The rest would wait for Tong Guowei and Longkodo to come back to discuss countermeasures.

Tong Guowei was just like Longkodo. He didn't believe that this was some evil ghost at work. He just didn't know which blind person had reached into the Tong Mansion and did these little tricks. It was really ridiculous!

Tong Guowei said to Longkodo, "You are the one who caused this. Deal with it yourself, and then make that Li Sier behave herself. If she causes trouble for our family again, don't blame me for giving her a white silk."

Longkodo was also furious. The person who secretly attacked him and Li Si'er was clearly targeting him and Li Si'er. Now he heard Tong Guowei's threat, which added fuel to the fire. Longkodo promised, "Don't worry, father. I will find the rat right away!"

This incident was caused by little Hesheli. If we want to find the culprit, we should start by investigating the people and things little Hesheli came into contact with.

This time, Longkodo invited the imperial physician from the palace.

But so many days have passed, and the room is filled with the smell of blood, corpses, and some unknown smell. Unless the imperial physician has a dog's nose, what can he find out?

After all, Yixiu would not fight a battle without preparation. The abortion powder would become the same color as ordinary dust after three days. Who could tell the difference?

Longkodo was not surprised that the imperial physician returned empty-handed. If someone dared to cause trouble in Tong's mansion, would he not have some skills?

The next step is to investigate all those who have had contact or relationship with little Hesheli.

The first ones to be interrogated were of course the dowries that little Hesheli brought to the Tong family. Although they had been demoted to do menial labor or directly driven out of the Tong Mansion, and the stubborn ones were beaten to death, what if some of them pretended to submit and waited for the next day?

But after using every possible torture method, the final result was nothing, and these people really had no suspicion at all.

Who could it be? Longkodo was puzzled. After all, the entire Hesheli clan had been uprooted, so where could the little Hesheli clan find external help?

There was no other way, so we could only continue to investigate the people who had contact with Hesheli. However, these people were all trusted servants of the Tong family. Would they betray the family just for a little Hesheli? It was difficult to investigate!

But before Longkodo could finish checking them one by one, the second seven days came. This time, the victims were the dogs in the Tong residence. The same method was used on their eyes, nose, ears, tongue, limbs, and finally their stomachs were ripped open.

The dogs in the Tong Mansion were all equipped for patrol by the servants and were used to guard the house. How could they die without making a sound?

Moreover, dogs are much larger than chickens and ducks, which makes it clear that the so-called disembowelment looks more like something is drilling out, and it is bursting from the inside out. How can a human do this?
