Cheng Muyou didn't look at her, but turned his head to look at Yan Niang, "Miss Yan, what do you think?"
” Yan Niang stood up, her eyes swept over the three of them one by one, "Tang Wangyu uses paper as currency and paper horses to worship ghosts and gods."
In later generations, the statue of the god was painted on paper, painted in color and sold, and the sacrifice was burned after the end of the race, which was called the paper horse.
Being able to sacrifice to ghosts and gods means that the paper horse can connect yin and yang, and it can go and return, even if it brings something back, it is not uncommon.
It's just that there is one thing that I can't agree with what the adults said, what the paper horse brought to the Han family nine years ago is not necessarily the murderer of the Qifenglou case, instead of going around in circles here, it is better to go directly to the Han house to check.
If it's the same person, it kills two birds with one stone, and the result is the best. ” Cheng Muyou nodded, "What Miss Yan said is reasonable, tomorrow we will go to the Han Mansion for a trip, it's a pity, Qifeng Tower will be handed over to you, you have carefully checked the whole courtyard, and you must not miss a clue." ” Liu Xujiao stood up hurriedly, "What about me?"
Which side am I going to follow?
” "Don't you have to go back to Beijing to restore your life?"
Liu Xutang raised his forehead, "The Holy Lord gave me a half-month period, anyway, I'm idle now, I'll stay and live for a while." ” It was dark in the embroidery village, the right ear was not there, and there was not even a person holding the lamp, but Yan Niang did not need the light, she walked into the inner room, her fingers gently pushed on the east wall, and a blue brick slowly moved out from the inside, which was hollow and placed an ordinary silver box.
She opened the box, tapped her fingers inside, and pulled out a sachet.
With a slight frown between her eyebrows, she said softly, "I've been waiting for a long time." ” Even after nine years of wind and rain, the Han Mansion still maintains a gorgeous and solemn appearance, although the colors on the wall have long been mottled by the rain, red, gray, and the tiles are also a little incomplete, but these only add a little vicissitudes of life and indifferent tones to it, and do not affect its atmosphere and glory.
If so, ignore the big case that happened inside that caused a sensation across the country.
Cheng Muyou pushed open the door with peeling red paint, stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard, Yan Niang followed him in, and Shi Jin and Shi Fei also walked in behind the two.
The Han house covers an area of about five acres, and the houses are seven into nine.
The east and west of the atrium are surrounded by a house from the house, the room and the study.
Behind the upper hall there is a backyard that runs through the whole house, in an "I-shaped" pattern.
The enclosed house is hidden outside the gables on both sides of the middle block, forming a unique setting of a single hall, a single courtyard and a single patio.
However, these delicate structures are now almost indistinguishable, because the courtyard is covered with wild grass more than half a man high, and from a distance it looks like a bleak grassland.
"According to the case file, the bloodstains were mainly concentrated in the garden."
Cheng Muyou raised his eyes and looked into the distance, stretched out his hand and pointed to the right front, it should be there. ” Yan Niang's face had a hint of sadness, and she walked forward with him, the wild grass cut through the hem of her skirt, but she didn't care, the two of them went up a few steps, through a round stone door, and came to the garden of the Han house.
As soon as I entered, I felt a burst of strong light coming, Yan Niang blocked her eyes, and saw a pavilion made of glass in front of her, with a transparent pavilion body and a colorful pavilion cover, which was illuminated by the sun, and cast the light and shadow on the wall covered with mountain vines, turning into a colorful piece.
"Han Zhiyuan deserves to be the richest man at that time, even the pavilion is made of glass, ordinary people, if they get a small piece, they have to be carefully collected, but he makes a pavilion for people to play."
Cheng Muyou looked at the colorful pavilion quietly, "The girl is afraid that she doesn't know, after the crime, the base of this pavilion was full of blood, seeping into every crevice, and the official who handled the case thought it was the color of the base itself, but I didn't think that it was actually dyed into a blood pavilion." ” "No wonder the weeds at the bottom of the pavilion are so lush that the blood can't come out, and gradually seeps into the ground and becomes the best fertilizer."
Yan Niang said quietly.
"My lord, my lord, there is a discovery in the front hall."
Shi Fei's voice came from the front yard.
The two hurriedly walked out of the pavilion and walked towards the front yard, Yan Niang carried her skirt up the steps, Cheng Muyou followed closely behind her, and saw that her skirt was scratched by the thorny weeds, and was just about to be reminded, but found that the scenery in front of them shook violently, everything seemed to be embedded in a pool of clear water, and even she was deeply trapped in this water, swaying with them.
Cheng Muyou knew that something was wrong, and opened his mouth to call Yan Niang who was walking in front, but he didn't want to look up, and saw that the person in front of him had changed his appearance, his figure was half a head taller than Yan Niang, and his body was also a lot plump, she was wearing a ruby green skirt, playing with the flower branches in her hands while walking.
As if he realized something, Cheng Muyou turned back suddenly, only to find that the whole yard had changed, the weeds all over the ground were gone, and the garden was full of exotic flowers and plants, swaying with the breeze, the walls were no longer mottled, the red paint was bright and dripping, and it was covered with dark yellow glazed tiles.
And the pavilion, the dust that covered it was gone, and the whole pavilion was polished to a shiny glow, and the lid of the pavilion of seven colors was intertwined, like the dress of the ninefold heavenly fairy, shining.
"Your Excellency."
A voice from before called him back, and he turned his head to see the woman turn around at some point, bend down and make a blessing to him, and then continue walking up the stone steps.
"You wait."
Cheng Muyou stretched out his hand and grabbed the woman's sleeve, he didn't have much strength, but the sleeve was ripped off completely, and he grabbed it in the palm of his hand, and the woman's entire arm was exposed, white like a freshly born tender lotus.
"Girl, I'm sorry."
The first reaction was to apologize, but the woman seemed to be greatly frightened, "My lord, how can you do this in broad daylight?"
” Cheng Muyou's life was questioned like this for the first time, his face suddenly turned red, and he didn't know how to explain for a while, when he was anxious, the scene in front of him flickered, the colors of heaven and earth seemed to have faded, and in front of him, it was the dilapidated garden again.
Suddenly, a whimper sounded from the wild grass behind him, intermittently, high and low, crying that made people's hearts panic.
Cheng Muyou turned his head and saw a figure lurking in the vast barren grass, and he blurted out, "Who?"
” The figure raised its head and took two steps back in shock, his calf hit the stone steps, and his body sat unsteadily on the ground.
There was no flesh and skin on the man's face, and the whole head was a skeleton with dirty blood, and the eyes were still there, but they were lined with white bones and bulged outward, staring at Cheng Muyou's face.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
Yan Niang's voice seemed to come from a long distance, Cheng Muyou closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, the illusion finally disappeared.
