Chapter 42: Da Liu Village, Strange Corpse

When she heard the word "madam", Aunt Lan's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"It's Master Meng, but you haven't been here for a while. Yun'er missed you so much."

Meng An was stunned. He felt a little nervous for no reason and moved his eyes away from Yun'er's chest.

The moment I saw Aunt Lan, I was startled. Oh no, I wasn’t paying attention and said the wrong thing!
The madam of Chaofenglou is no good. She is the one transferred from outside and is very capable!
It is said that he is very powerful, but no one has ever seen it.

Because before that, someone will help this person solve the problem.

"Oh~ Aunt Lan! You are here too? How are you doing recently?" Meng An forced himself to laugh and looked at Qin Jiang for help.

Qin Jiang shook his head, "Stop being funny."

He looked at Aunt Lan, "I am Qin Hong's brother. Take me to see where my sister disappeared."

Aunt Lan glanced at Qin Jiang after hearing this and said, "Are you Qin Hong's brother? Then come with me."

Having said that, she turned and walked inside, twisting her waist, and Qin Jiang followed behind her.

At the door, Yun'er approached Meng An slightly, "Master, who is this person?"

Meng An gently pinched Yun'er and said, "The new leader of our Sixth Hall will soon become a deacon. Do you understand?"

He had heard that the boss was not only a second-rate master, but also favored by Elder Chen and the gang leader.

The reason why he is the big boss is just a formality before becoming a deacon.

If he could get hold of this powerful person, maybe when the boss becomes a deacon, he could also become the big boss!

Yun'er opened her mouth in surprise. He's already a big boss at such a young age? And he'll soon become a deacon?!

"I understand, I understand!"

She quickly said that people like them usually only come into contact with the top deacons.

As for higher-level ones, it’s not that there aren’t any, but normally when such people need them, Chaofeng Tower always sends them there, and few of them come in person.

Several people came to the backyard of Chaofeng Tower. The backyard was very large, even larger than the main body of Chaofeng Tower.

There are several courtyards on both sides of an aisle, which looks like an ordinary alley.

After passing through several small courtyards, we came to a locked courtyard.

"This is it. It was originally a place for the girls to live in, but after what happened, it's no longer habitable."

Aunt Lan said with some regret, then walked to the gate of the courtyard, took out the key and opened the chain.

creak~
She pushed the door open and said, "Little brother, we dare not go in. You can go and have a look yourself. The room where the accident happened is the one on the far right."

Qin Jiang nodded slightly and walked directly into the yard. A cool breeze spread, as if he had walked into autumn.

Looking at the yard, there are about four or five houses on both sides, connected together, and the size is somewhat like the back garden of a large family.

There is a well in the middle of the yard, and there are two basins of unwashed clothes beside the well. I guess they were scared away because they didn't have time to clean up when the ghost happened.

Looking at the innermost room on the right, there is a big black locust tree planted between it and the house opposite, which looks the same as the one in Dahei Mountain.

With his hand on the hilt of the knife, he walked over.

Gently pushing open the door, a scent of rouge rushed into my nostrils.

Looking at the environment inside the house, it is beautifully decorated and divided into three rooms on the left, middle and right by wooden window panels. There is a door on each side of the middle room for entry and exit.

Right in front of the door, there is a bronze mirror reflecting Qin Jiang's figure.

The room on the left is used for dressing, and on the right there is only a small bed with a neatly made quilt.

"Boss, did you find anything?"

Meng An's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Qin Jiang turned around and saw the other party leaning against the door with only his head sticking out.

He shook his head, "Not yet."

After saying that, he walked towards the bedroom on the right, and after a while he looked to the left.

He walked to the yard with some disappointment and went straight to the other rooms.

After a while, after checking the house, he came to the well again. The cool water vapor slightly relieved his irritability.

Leaning against the well, he looked at Meng An after thinking for a moment, "How did my sister disappear?"

Meng An thought for a moment, "Sister Qin didn't find any problems that day, and then she said she would stay here for one night, but she disappeared the next day. We also searched and there were no signs of a fight."

"Is it possible that he went out?" Qin Jiang asked.

Meng An shook his head. "That's impossible. That night, more than 20 of us surrounded this place. We would be discovered whether we entered or left."

"Who was there on the day of the haunting?" Qin Jiang asked. Meng An was silent after hearing this, and then slowly shook his head, "The few who were there that day all died the next day."

"All dead?! How did they die?" Qin Jiang stood up straight, frowning.

"They all died the next day after sleeping for one night. They didn't have any injuries when they died, and they still had smiles on their faces. It was very strange!"

Meng An said that he had been very worried these past few days, fearing that he would not wake up one day.

But fortunately, it seems that there is no problem now.

Qin Jiang looked around. Ever since he came in, he felt a vague chilly aura, but he couldn't find the source, as if there was a layer of glass between them.

"Boss!"

Just as he was thinking, a person suddenly ran in from outside the courtyard gate.

Qin Jiang looked over and saw that it was Tian Shangfei, another small leader under his command.

"Boss! Elder Chen said that more than a dozen people died in Da Liu Village outside the city last night. I want you to investigate."

Tian Shangfei was breathing heavily, obviously running very fast.

"Walk."

Qin Jiang left quickly, and when he reached the gate, he looked at Aunt Lan, "Seal off the yard, don't let anyone in!"

After saying that, he left directly, with Tian Shangfei and Meng An following closely behind.

After the three people left, Aunt Lan gently opened her folding fan with a smile in her eyes. What an interesting young man.

unfortunately
tread!tread!tread!
The heavy sound of horse hooves hit the ground, and more than a dozen black horses moved forward quickly on the country road.

Ding——! (How far is it!)

Qin Jiang blew the whistle in his mouth. This was the whistle used to communicate within the Red Tiger Gang. Lu Xuanwu used this whistle when he called Chen Feng that night. It took him a lot of effort to learn it.

Beep~ Beep! (Three miles, turn the corner and you’ll be there!)

Tian Shangfei blew the whistle.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the entrance of a village, where an old man in gray cloth and several middle-aged men were already waiting.

Hu~
Qin Jiang stopped the horse and dismounted. The old man and several middle-aged men hurriedly surrounded him, "Sir! You are finally here!"

Tian Shangfei walked up to him and said, "Boss, this is the village chief of Daliu Village, Liu Guangyi."

Qin Jiang nodded, "Where is the body?"

"In the village, please follow me, sir."

Muramasa bowed slightly and kept a humble attitude, because the person in charge of taxation in their village was Tian Shangfei, and Tian Shangfei was obviously this man's subordinate and was not someone they could afford to offend.

"Old Meng, take a few people here to watch over the horses." Qin Jiang ordered.

Following Muramasa, we walked into the village, which was built on a small hill. After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, we arrived at an open space.

At the edge of the open space is a stone mill used to crush beans. It is as big as a person's arms around, and weighs at least three to five hundred pounds.

At this time, many villagers had gathered outside the open space, talking in low voices in groups of three or five.

In the center there was a row of corpses, covered with white cloth. At a glance, there were nearly twenty of them.

"Look, sir, this is it," said Muramasa.

Qin Jiang walked up to a corpse and lifted the white cloth. What he saw was a face full of fear, with eyes wide open and mouth wide open.

He covered the bodies with white cloth and looked at the other corpses. Without exception, their faces were filled with fear.

"What happened last night? Where did they go?" He looked at Muramasa.

"They are all miners from the mine on the mountain. They went to the mine together last night." Muramasa said hesitantly.

There are many hills and mineral veins to the south of Heishan City, and many villages are gathered around the mineral veins.

"Is there anyone still alive?" Qin Jiang asked.

Muramasa nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes! There is still a living person!"

As he said that, he turned to look at the middle-aged men who followed him and said, "Bring the people over here."

Then, the two men left and walked towards a house in the village.

After a while, two men came over, dragging a man with an iron chain. His hair was disheveled, his face was blackened by coal dust, his linen clothes were torn, and there was blood on his arms and legs.
