Chapter 694: Butler, answer my question

Are the people from the capital so dirty? They leave without washing their faces or rinsing their mouths? Isn't this too disgusting? They thought these people were good-looking, especially the man in white, who was even more handsome. They came here early in the morning to take a closer look. Who would have thought that they would have such a habit of living? They were so disappointed. How could the old lady have such disgusting relatives?

The disgusted relative was focused on walking towards the front yard, and naturally didn't know or want to care about what the servants were thinking.

The wife who had been occupied by Feng Zhaolian for a whole night finally returned to Shi Liyuan's hands. Shi Liyuan held her and said something, unwilling to let her go. He lowered his head slightly and whispered to her: "I see that you are not in good spirits. Did you not sleep well last night?"

Ye Wenyan sighed, "How can I sleep well in this situation and this place!" He knocked his head and said, "Headache." Without saying anything, he threw a spell over, and Ye Wenyan immediately felt clear-headed.

"Huh?" She was slightly surprised, "You can actually use this kind of magic?"

Shi Liyuan also said, "Huh?" "From what you said, you can't use it?"

She nodded. "It really doesn't work. Last night I tried to leave my body, but I couldn't even leave the bed, let alone the body. Now the only magic I have is to clean myself and others, and even warm tea. But why can you do it?"

Shi Liyuan straightened his chest and said, "Ah Yan, I am definitely better than you."

"Stronger than me?" She was a little reluctant to admit it, but she had to admit it, after all, the facts were in front of her. "Well, you are stronger than me, which is good. You can also use a little more magic, which is also good. At least when we encounter problems, we don't have to use martial arts to fight. Last night, I was wondering with Feng Zhaolian whether you know martial arts. I think you probably don't know how to do it. After all, you have been cultivating spirituality since you were a child. If you encounter danger, I will have to protect you, just like when we first met."

Shi Liyuan laughed, "Ah Yan, do you think I don't know martial arts?"

"Can you do it?" She was also surprised, "You actually know martial arts, I didn't know that."

"I know a little." Shi Liyuan smiled and raised his hand to hold her shoulders. "I learned a little bit of everything when I was young. Later, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared. Just in case, I also learned a little bit. After a while, I am not bad. Maybe not as good as your second brother, but more than enough compared to the children of the Quan family."

Feng Zhaolian, who was standing by, sighed when she heard this: "Ah Yan, no wonder you look down on me, it turns out your man can do everything."

We talked all the way to the front yard, and heard the housekeeper scolding someone from afar - "What are you afraid of if I ask you to go out and count the bodies? Every morning someone has to go out to count the bodies and report to the government to collect the bodies. How come others can do it but you can't?" The one he scolded was a servant, and now he looked aggrieved: "It's not that I can't do it, it's that no one can do it today! I did it reluctantly a few days ago, but who can stand it day after day? What if the devil hasn't left yet? What if he kills me as soon as I go out? Today is different from yesterday, and yesterday was different from the day before yesterday. The devil won't take them away, he will only get worse day by day, so someone dared to go out yesterday, but no one dares today!"

"He makes sense." Feng Zhaolian whispered, "The Jiang family must be up to something, otherwise why didn't they dump the body somewhere else?"

Ye Wenyan also knew that there was something wrong with the Jiang family, but the key was that even the Jiang family themselves didn’t know what their problems were.

The housekeeper was very angry. He told the boy, "If you don't go today, then leave the Jiang family and go out to fend for yourself!"

The servant was also a man with a bad temper. He said, "Leave if you want to! It's better to fend for yourself than to stay in the Jiang family. People throw corpses outside the Jiang mansion every day. It's obvious that they are targeting the Jiang family, so it's dangerous to stay in the Jiang family." The housekeeper sneered and said, "Then leave, leave the Jiang family. But I remind you that you are a dead servant. You can leave, but you can't take your body contract with you. A dead servant cannot leave Xiushan County without a body contract. You can only stay in Xiushan County. Your life and death are not up to you. There may not even be an inn that can take you in."

The servant lost his temper when he heard this. This is how a bonded slave is. The master will never give you a chance to betray. You can't escape from this city even if you want to. That's it. He sighed, "I'll go, but can I wait until the sun comes out?"

"Why are we waiting for the sun?" The housekeeper was very angry. "It has rained for so many days and there has never been a sunny day. The sun will not come out."

"But the sun isn't out and the gloomy energy is heavy. I'm scared." The boy seemed really scared and was trembling and didn't want to go out.

Seeing this, Ye Wenyan took a few steps forward and said, "I'll go for him!"

"You?" The housekeeper was stunned. When he turned around and looked at her, he felt that the girl looked familiar. He quickly remembered that he met Tang when he went to see Jiang Xiu last night. Aren't these the relatives who followed the old lady Tang? "Stop fooling around, go back to the backyard." The housekeeper said to Ye Wenyan, "You are the old lady's relatives. This kind of thing should not be done by you. Go back!"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "It's mainly because your people don't want to do it, so I took it reluctantly. Okay, open the door and take a look at what's going on outside. I heard that there are more and more corpses every day. Guess how many there are today?"

The housekeeper felt panicky, and he didn't know why, but he felt scared when he saw the little girl in front of him. But this was a little girl he had never seen before, about fifteen or sixteen years old, what was there to be afraid of? So he thought that he might be afraid of the corpses outside, and that what the little girl said was right, there were more corpses today than yesterday.

He didn't have the mind to think about anything else. He walked forward and opened the door himself, then immediately stepped back, fearing that there might be danger outside the door.

Ye Wenyan and the other two had no taboos and walked out of the mansion as usual. They saw two corpses on the ground at a glance.

The body was the same as described yesterday, with the body and head separated. Shi Liyuan checked the wound and said, "It wasn't cut by a sharp weapon like a sword. It looks like it was cut by a very thin rope. How thin is it... Hmm, like spider silk!"

Feng Zhaolian was stunned. "Killing people with spider silk? Is there such a master in the world? Can your second brother do it?" she asked in a low voice.

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "I don't know, I've never asked. But there are masters like that, at least I can do it."

Shi Liyuan added: "I can do that too."

Feng Zhaolian didn't want to talk anymore. She started looking around, and after a while she saw Yun Xiao walking towards her from a distance.

She ran forward a few steps and asked, "Where are you coming from?"

Yun Xiao had a confused look on his face. He thought for a while before saying, "It's not far from Jiang's house. I searched all night but didn't find any clues, so I wanted to go back to the gate of Jiang's house and wait for the man to show up. But before I even got to the gate, I suddenly became dizzy. I think I was only dizzy for a moment, because I was standing before I became dizzy, and I was still standing when I woke up. If you really have been dizzy for a long time, it's impossible for you to keep standing. But in fact, I may have really been dizzy for a long time, at least half an hour. Because it was dark before I became dizzy, and when I woke up, it was already as bright as it is now."

Feng Zhaolian frowned, and after a while asked him again: "Are you injured?"

Yun Xiao shook his head, "Don't worry, no."

"That's good! You don't need to go out tonight, just stay in the mansion." She pulled Yun Xiao, and the two returned to Ye Wenyan. At this time, Ye Wenyan was questioning the servants of the Jiang family, and she said, "Do you know these two people?"

The servant who was reluctant to come out before was a little bolder now. Firstly, it was getting brighter, and secondly, with so many people together, he felt more confident. So he quickly ran forward to take a look, and soon pointed at one of the corpses and said, "This man is a storyteller in the teahouse. It is said that he has been telling stories in the teahouse since he was very young, and has been telling stories for most of his life. As for the other one..." He stared at it for a while, and even reached out to touch the hair of the head, and then exclaimed "Ah" - "Isn't this the old beggar in the dilapidated temple! He is the leader of the beggars in our Xiushan County." After speaking, he looked around again, and then muttered, "Why are there only two corpses today? Logically, shouldn't there be more and more every day?"

Ye Wenyan added: "Maybe he doesn't have many people left to kill!"

Feng Zhaolian asked, "Why did he kill these people? Is there any connection between these two bodies?"

Everyone present shook their heads. It was impossible for them to be related. A storyteller in a teahouse and a beggar leader in a dilapidated temple, what kind of relationship could they have? The servant said, "The bodies thrown here before, we didn't see any relationship. They must know each other. After all, they are from the same county. Xiushan County is so small that everyone is familiar with each other. But if you want to say that there is any relationship, then there really is no relationship! Miss, you are an outsider. It is said that a bystander can see more clearly. You can watch and see what is going on."

Ye Wenyan shook her head, "I don't know why, but there must be a reason why the body was thrown at the door of the Jiang family." As she spoke, she suddenly looked at the housekeeper, curled her lips and said, "You say, is it true?"

The housekeeper was stunned. "What do you mean? Why do you want me to tell you? How should I know if it is true or not? This is ridiculous!"

Ye Wenyan snorted coldly, "Whether it is nonsense or not, you know it yourself. If someone does something against the will of heaven and the person who is hurt is in a high position, do you think he will use all means to retaliate? If the evil thing caused the family to be destroyed, do you think he would want the entire Xiushan County to be buried with their family? Butler, answer me!"

The butler's brain suddenly buzzed, and he seemed to have thought of something...
