All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 43 Into the Tiger's Den
It seems that a lot of people died here.

Liu Si and Magpie seemed to sense Shen Lingxi's gaze, and looked up at her, "Girl, these are all people who were killed by Yinyue Pavilion. This is the old nest of Yinyue Pavilion, in Manyifang."

Shen Lingxi originally thought that the relationship between Shen Liang and Yinyue Pavilion was just the relationship between the employer and the killer.

Unexpectedly, Yinyue Pavilion is the person behind the scenes who actually collects the embroidered pictures.

This means that the nobleman who collected embroidery pictures in the palace that the ancestors said was also connected with this Yinyue Pavilion.

And now, Yinyue Pavilion is hidden in Manyifang.

This is even more intriguing.

The barbarian square is a place for neighbors and envoys from neighboring countries to live in Beijing, and most of the squares are foreign people.

Regardless of whether the nobleman in the palace who collected the embroidered pictures colluded with other races or not.

I just want to say that any case involving Manyifang is not something that the Yamen of Dali Temple can easily intervene in.

If you want to arrest people in the barbarian square, you must inform the Honglu Temple in advance, so as not to accidentally injure the envoy of Fanbang.

I don't know if the embroidered clothing envoy can act beyond his authority...

Perhaps it was Liu Si's words that caught the attention of those dead souls. They all looked towards the window, and some even floated directly up...

Without exception, they were all bounced away when they approached the room.

Shen Lingxi was extremely fortunate at the moment, this time she came with Chu Yan.

Otherwise, with so many dead souls rushing up together, she really couldn't stand it.

She looked away, and when she turned around, she saw Chu Yan sitting at the table with a calm expression.

"Girl, don't worry. The hidden guards are following all the way. They are outside now. They can attack at any time after finding out the details of the other party." He said softly.

"Your Majesty, you know that we are now in Manyifang, which is the old nest of Yinyue Pavilion." She told the truth.

Chu Yan naturally guessed what this place was, because the embroidered clothes envoy had already suspected it.

But it's incredible that Shen Lingxi only knew about this by poking through a layer of window paper.

"Is this also... what the ghost told you?"

Shen Lingxi nodded, and said worriedly: "I heard from Mu Shaoqing that the embroidered clothes envoy almost took over the Yinyue Pavilion before, but because someone tipped off the news, the success fell short. I don't know if it will work this time."

Chu Yan: ...

"Don't worry, girl, none of them can escape this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, his ears moved, and he made a "shut up" gesture to Shen Lingxi, stood up, and walked to the door.

With a gentle voice, "anxiously" shouted outside, "Is anyone there? Please open the door, Xiaosheng is locked here for some reason, if you offend me, I would like to apologize in person, and please forgive Xiaosheng once."

Not to mention, he really has the charm of a frail scholar.

Shen Lingxi felt that she couldn't lose.

She stood up, crying with a bit of fright, "Help! Help! Is there anyone with good intentions to save us!"

"Why are you arguing!" Someone outside said viciously: "You two are sensible, just stay in the room quietly and do what you have to do. If you quarrel again, I will throw the man out to feed the dogs."

Shen Lingxi silently lit a candle for the man outside, you are so brave.

Voices came from outside again, "Just give this pair of mandarin ducks some extra fuel, let them have a fierce fight, and when the work is done, lock the man up, and then take the woman to see the pavilion master. Women will listen."

This is unbearable.

Killing intent instantly appeared in Chu Yan's eyes, and the hand resting on the door, with slightly bent finger bones, was about to smash the door into pieces——
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Shen Lingxi shouted out tremblingly, "Take me to see your pavilion master now, he will let me do whatever he wants, as long as you don't touch my husband... If you act recklessly, you will ruin the house for no reason. The reputation between my husband and I, I, I would rather die here, than you can succeed."

The soft voice of "my lord" suddenly suppressed the murderous intent in Chu Yan's eyes, and she returned to the appearance of a frail scholar.

The two outside seemed to be startled by Shen Lingxi's words. After weighing the pros and cons, they only heard one person running away, and after a while, another person came.

The new person spoke more politely than the previous one.

"Miss Shen, forgive me. They are all rough people and can't speak. Miss, don't be as knowledgeable as them. The pavilion master is away and will not come back in two days. Miss, please stay here with peace of mind. When the pavilion master comes back, I will bring the girl Go see his old man."

Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan looked at each other.

The purpose of them going deep into the tiger's den this time is to uproot the other party. If the pavilion master is not there, even if all these minions are wiped out, it will not be of much use.

"Brother..." Shen Lingxi pleaded: "Since you plan to let me do things for you, you don't have to lock us up as prisoners. How about opening the door so we can move around?"

"This... the pavilion master is not here, we can't be the master... and invite the girl..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Lingxi suddenly said again: "Are the days near your attic cooler than other places?"

The man didn't understand why, "What do you mean by this girl?"

"Since you captured me, you must have checked my background, you know that I know some exorcism spells?"

Shen Lingxi's voice is pure, kind and harmless, and he is persuasive, "The evil spirit here is too strong. If you don't do something to turn those evil spirits that died in vain, it may damage your lifespan. If you let me go downstairs, by the way It is also good for you to do some supernatural rituals."

Nowadays, restaurants and teahouses all over the capital are talking about the story of "Miaoling Daoist fights against the evil spirit of Xuanping Hou's Mansion".

The few people outside have naturally heard of it.

What's more, she even mentioned that there is an evil spirit here...

The man pondered for a while, and finally let go of his answer, "Then Miss Chen will be in trouble."

*
For two whole days, Shen Lingxi left Chu Yan and told him not to go downstairs if there was nothing to do, so she stayed downstairs all day.

This place should be the back house of a mansion in Man Yi Fang. Not far from the attic, there is a lotus pond that draws running water.

In the midsummer weather, the lotus pond is full of lotus flowers, which is very elegant.

In the barbarian workshop where foreign envoys and Hu merchants live together, the owner should be very honorable to have a mansion with such a layout.

During the period, the people who brought them meals were all masked people, and they couldn't see where they came from.

Thanks to Chu Yan, those dead souls were extremely jealous of Shen Lingxi's "magic power" when they saw their companion being bounced away, and they were especially respectful to her.

Therefore, Shen Lingxi asked people to set up a dharma altar in a cool place, and it looked like they were praying and chanting scriptures, but in fact they were listening to the dead souls queuing up to complain.

"...They broke in overnight, killed us all, and pretended to be us..."

"...Please write me a letter to my wife and children far away, so that they don't miss me anymore..."

"If possible, burn my body and bring the ashes back to my homeland..."

"...I want to drink another glass of wine from my hometown..."

"My caravan, my money...take them back for me, and I will give it all to you..."

With almost no effort, before the mysterious Pavilion Master came back, Shen Lingxi had a rough idea of ​​the situation in the Yinyue Pavilion lair...
