Chapter 13
The two looked up and found a young man wearing a sackcloth hat running on the street telling each other.
They looked at each other, walked over and stopped the young man: "What's wrong with Mu Mansion?"
When the young man saw him, his eyes lit up: "Hey, last time you invited me to tea."
Yu Ning thought for a while, it seems that two days ago, a group of people were invited to eat melon seeds and chat at the inn, this young man looked familiar, it turned out to be from that group, so he said: "Yes, I didn't do it a few days ago. I just saw it, and you have something new to discover."
The young man looked at him excitedly, and his voice became unsteady: "Mu Mansion...Mu Mansion, someone died last night, it seems to be a housekeeper, oh my god, the housekeeper of Mu Mansion died. The big housekeeper."
"Did the murderer seek a beating?" Yu Ning looked at him and continued to ask, although he knew it might be for nothing.
"If you find me, you're still shouting here. Where can you find it? People in the Mu Mansion are panicking now, and they are all worried about whether they will be next."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore, I have to tell others..."
Yu Ning let him go, and said to Su Yanzhi, "Mr. Su, shall we go now or at night?"
"Let's go now." As soon as Su Yanzhi opened the folding fan, he had already moved away first.
Both of them are powerful people, so they sneaked in after a while and found the place where the housekeeper died.
There were a few boys guarding there, but those people looked scared and seemed unwilling to stay there.
"Try to get rid of them." Su Yan knew.
"I'll come..." Yu Ningxie smiled, walked over and shouted: "It's not good, someone is causing trouble at the door."
The young servants who looked at the corpse immediately looked at each other and walked forward: "Go, let's take a look."
Take the two through.
Yu Ning and Su Yanzhi walked over.
This time, the housekeeper and another male servant died.
There was a thin knife mark on their necks, the same length and size as the three people who died before.
In addition, the butler had several scars on his body, protruding eyes, gaping teeth, blood stains on his face, and a terrified expression on his face, as if he had seen something terrible.
The man next to him died in the same manner as the previous three, with no extra scars on his body, and his whole body was blue and white.
Yu Ning was a little puzzled, five people died one after another, four were exactly the same, only one was different, what did the murderer want to express?
Su Yanzhi looked at the corpse and said coldly: "The blood has been sucked out, it's something like a ghost."
"How do you know you were sucked?" Yu Ning looked at him.
"Although there are knife marks, this boy's whole body is bloodless. The murderer must have scratched the marks on his neck and then sucked away his spirit little by little through spells.
Moreover, they must have been bewitched in some way before they were alive. You can see that the expression on his face is so peaceful, it doesn't look like he was killed under coercion. "
Su Yanzhi looked at the corpse for analysis.
Yu Ning nodded, he had thought about this before, but the way this monster sucks human blood is quite foreign, he used to suck the opponent's blood to join directly with mana, and he would never use such an infamous tool as a knife. It's too hypocritical to cut with a knife and suck.
"Then what's the matter with this man?"
Yu Ning pointed to the dead housekeeper.
Su Yanzhi watched: "I'm going to ask the demon."
Yu Ning rolled his eyes, as if he didn't say anything.
"Are we waiting here? Are you sure he will come?" Yu Ning looked around. If it is really a black cat demon, then it will not come during the day. Generally, demons like to act at night, when the night is quiet , when the yin energy is at its peak in the mortal world, it is most suitable for them to come out to make trouble.
"It will always come. Didn't you realize that it's coming for the Mu family?" Su Yanzhi reminded.
Yu Ning looked at him and slapped his head. That's right, why didn't he expect that all the people who died so far were members of the Mu family, so many residents of Sanshan Town in so much time.Except for the death of the Mu family, no other family has heard of being killed so far.
"And, this happened after the death of Master Mu." Su Yanzhi continued.
After hearing this, Yu Ning began to think: "Why?"
"We have to wait for it to come first." Su Yanzhi was also puzzled.
revenge?Yu Ning thought, but what enmity can a cat demon have against the Mu family who are doing good?
If it wasn't for revenge, then why did it rob Master Mu and kill the housekeeper?
So far it has only killed people from the Mu family, so what is the mystery behind it?
Yu Ning felt that he had to find out about this matter, it was getting more and more interesting.
The other end of Mu Mansion.
"Master, the housekeeper is dead, and his subordinate A Ming is also dead." Xiao Fei reported to Mu Lian.
Mu Lian sat on the pear wood chair, closed his eyes and meditated, and did not answer his words.
"Young master, don't you think the loss of the master's body is a bit inexplicable and the deaths of these servants in the Tianfu?"
Seeing that Mu Lian didn't speak, Xiao Fei opened his mouth again after deliberation, carefully looking at the person on the chair.
"Why is it so inexplicable?" Mu Lian opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
Xiao Fei thought about it and said: "The steward and that Amin were both involved in those things, and they died within a few days. There are also those servants who were more or less instructed by the steward, and they all ended up..." Speaking of which, Xiao Fei looked Glancing at Mulian, he silenced his voice.
"What are you afraid of? Let's continue." Mu Lian glanced at him.
"The subordinates dare not, the subordinates are afraid..."
"A Fei, you have been with me for so many years, why didn't I know that you were still afraid." Mu Lian interrupted him, got up from the pear wood chair, and walked over like him.
Xiao Fei took a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "What the young master taught me is that Xiao Fei knows his mistake."
"A Fei, do you believe in ghosts and gods?" Mu Lian asked suddenly.
"Xiao Fei grew up with the young master. Although he hasn't read many books, he also knows that ghosts and gods are just what the books say, and they can't be trusted."
"Well, that's good." Mu Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at the misty air, his eyes far away: "If you lose Mu Nantian's body, you will lose it. You don't need to look for it. Even if you don't lose it, it won't be in our house now. As for those Dead man, I want you to find out the truth of the matter."
"Yes..." Xiao Fei understood what he meant, and took the order to retreat.
After Xiao Fei retreated, Mu Lian was the only one left in the room.
He looked at the closed door, and the evil in his eyes could be seen at a glance: "No matter who it is, since he chooses to fight against him, he'd better be able to protect himself, otherwise, if it falls into his hands, he will definitely not let it go."
Mu Nantian, hehe, he is a kind person in the eyes of others, and he takes care of him in every possible way. They are always kind and filial to outsiders, and they are peaceful. When they close the door after returning home, who knows what everyone is thinking in their hearts?
On the one hand, Mu Nantian treated him with kindness and kindness, and asked him to learn his skills so that he could inherit the family business, but on the other hand, he accidentally let him know that he was not the biological son of the Mu family, but an abandoned child picked up by Mu Nantian on the road. There is no difference between beggars and children begging on the roadside in the town. What's more, Mu Nantian actually has a child, and he is still a son. He actually has people secretly search for his own son.
If his own son is brought back, will there be any business for him, Mulian?
Mu Nantian was hypocritical, while comforting him by saying that he would give him everything in the Mu family, he was secretly looking for his parents and children.
If he hadn't overheard his instructions to others by chance, he would have been encouraged all the time, always complacently thinking that when he passed away a hundred years later, the Mu Mansion would be inherited by him.
In Mu Nantian's eyes, he is just an object of charity, just like how he treats outsiders, rewarding him with three or five taels of silver is actually like treating him as a poor person.
Mu Lian's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, he was just Mu Nantian's pitiful object, he never regarded him as his son, he was just the object of his charity.
Mu Lian suddenly raised his head and laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.
Mu Nantian was very kind to him, but it was all his wishful thinking and he misunderstood what he meant. He thought it was a father's love for his children, but he didn't know that it was just a relationship between a benefactor and a benefactor.
He didn't want to maintain such a false emotion. Since he was going to be replaced one day, why didn't he give it a go and get back what belonged to him?
Mu Lian stopped laughing, he succeeded, and Mu Nantian died, but he will continue to search for the lost child instead of Mu Nantian, and when he finds it, he will definitely kill him and send him up to reunite with Mu Nantian, so that they can be slowed down. A slow father is kind and his son is filial.
-
After leaving Mu's mansion, Yu Ning looked at Su Yanzhi: "You said that such a big thing happened to Mu, their young master must be very sad, I heard that their relationship between father and son is very good. And that Mr. Mu's style is the same as Mr. Mu's." They are all philanthropic and kind-hearted.”
"Maybe..." Su Yanzhi fanned his fan, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two just wandered around in the street, waiting for the night to fall, and waiting for the evil spirit that caused chaos.

Yu Ning thought that the two of them used to walk side by side like this before. At that time, his magic power was not as strong as it is now. Once, he and Su Yanzhi slipped to a small town in the world, where he ate the first candied haws, sour. Sweet and sour, he has fallen in love with this kind of common people's snack ever since. At that time, they walked side by side, and he felt that it was a very beautiful thing to walk with Su Yanzhi like this.
It's just that it was a long time ago. There are many unknowns in life, and not all of them can go as I expected.
Yu Ning sighed, recalling the past again.
He glanced at Su Yanzhi, and really wanted to ask him, why did he treat him like that?
Forget it after thinking about it, there will be opportunities in the future, let's settle the matter of the Mu Mansion right now.
night……
The two sneaked into the Mu Mansion with ease and went around every corner of the Mu Mansion, but they didn't find any cats.
Yu Ning shrugged: "You guessed wrong, Mr. Su." That cat probably won't show up tonight.
"Wait a little longer..." Su Yan knew.
"I haven't come here for so long, I think it won't come back, hey, do you think it knows we are guarding it, so it doesn't come on purpose?" Yu Ning thinks that cat has demonic skills, maybe it has already seen them idea.
Su Yanzhi glanced at him but didn't speak.
He heard a scream not far in front, the cry was miserable and sharp.
The two immediately followed the sound.
When he arrived, a domestic servant had already fallen to the ground, his eyes staring round and full of horror, Yu Ning looked at Su Yanzhi: "Separate and act."
Su Yanzhi nodded, and flew across the houses, chasing after the running shadow.
Yu Ning walked over to help the servant, and found that he still had a trace of breath, so he exerted force with his palm, and a light yellow halo poured into his body. The servant slowly opened his eyes, looking at Yu Ning with astonishment in his eyes, Yu Ning comforted him not to be afraid.
He looked at Yu Ning, and the corners of his mouth continued intermittently: "Master, master..."
Then his whole body twitched, his neck seemed to be tilted to one side, and he lost his breath.
Yu Ning frowned, master?Master Mu?
The other people in the Mu Mansion heard the yelling and led the portrait past. Yu Ning saw the group of people rushing towards him, and immediately flew away.
The man is dead, and it is useless for him to stay.
After leaving the Mu residence, he went to find Su Yanzhi.
After looking around, I saw Su Yanzhi at the entrance of an alley. He was standing there with a solemn expression.
Walk over: "How is it?"
When I chased it out, it was a figure, and after I chased it over, there was no trace.
"Go back to the inn and tell me." Yu Ning looked at him.
The two returned to the inn, Yu Ning's room.
"The servant still had a trace of breath, and when he was questioned, he said two words: master." Yu Ning said word by word.
"You said that what you chased out just now was a figure?" Yu Ning looked at him.
"Yes, yes, alone, it's a man from the back." Su Yanzhi was sure that he was right.
"How many masters are there in the shogunate?" Yu Ning asked.
"There should be only one." Su Yan knew.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time said in a low voice, "Mu Nantian..."
"Is he not dead?" Yu Ning touched his nose with his index knuckles and thought.
"But it shouldn't be. He is a kind person, how could he harm others? Also, why did he kill his own family?" Yu Ning was a little puzzled.
