The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 178 Confusing
Lang Jiuchuan returned to the Zen temple, took out a piece of paper, wrote down several names, connected them with lines, and pointed his finger at the name of Mrs. Lu.

As long as the four sons of the Lu family really learned skills in the Rong family, then the Lu family is indeed a dog of the Rong family. Not to mention the Taoist priest who attacked her from a distance for the first time, the one who did something bad during the burial of the old man of the Lang family must have been the Lu family. After all, they were too anxious to get rid of Aunt Rong.

Lang Jiuchuan remembered what Lang Zhengping had said before, that the Lu family had a good reputation in Wujing, the head of the Lu family was a good man who handled things properly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Lu family were both virtuous and gentle, the inner house was quiet, and the wives and concubines were harmonious.

There is not much to fault with such a family, and they have never done anything to offend anyone.

That’s right, what they did was something that would destroy your descendants.

It is true that a dog that bites doesn't bark.

There was some noise outside, Lang Jiuchuan walked out and asked Jianlan what happened.

"Princess Chao'an sent a message saying that the Huguo Temple is a place for meditation and worship, and we cannot allow people to come to the Huguo Temple to worship and not be at peace. We asked the Qi family to lift the martial law, and those who want to return to the city can leave on their own." Jianlan said, "Now many people are packing up for their return journey."

Lang Jiuchuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go to the Pei family next door to see if they are coming back. If they are, we will follow them."

It was fine for her to be alone in the temple, but there were also guards and maids who accompanied her and Cui to light the lamps. If she didn't want to get into any extra trouble, it would be better for her to follow a large and powerful group. After all, a murder had happened.

As for Princess Chaoan...

She looked over and saw the guards of the princess's mansion talking to some monks. Some of the guards were looking around, and it didn't look like they were notifying anything but looking for something.

"You are still being targeted by that prince consort, and I'm afraid he is looking for you now." There was a hint of frost in Lang Jiuchuan's eyes.

He rolled over in the tower and said in a scoundrelly tone, "Everyone knows that I am a treasure, but you are the only one who doesn't know the value of it. You have to keep a close eye on me and don't let me run away."

Lang Jiuchuan snorted coldly: "You can still argue, you've been well-fed, come out and get the news."

He shut his mouth.

Jianlan returned quickly and said, "The Pei family said it's almost noon. If we go back to the city, we'll have to hurry before the city gates close. It's cold today and the roads are hard to walk on. It might be dangerous to hurry. We'll have to go back tomorrow morning."

Lang Jiuchuan nodded: "Then let's talk to the Pei family and go with them."

Jianlan nodded and asked someone to go down and make arrangements.

Lang Jiuchuan looked at the guards of the princess's mansion, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go to the Hall of Rebirth."

She deliberately passed by the guards. Someone looked at her and she shrank as if frightened. She was surrounded by Jianlan and the maids.

The guard glanced at her pale face and did not come over. Instead, he walked to another guard and asked, "How is it?"

“I didn’t hear anything.”

Lang Jiuchuan walked away from them and heard the man say, "There is a lot of noise in Huguo Temple. It is impossible for a tiger to come down the mountain. I really don't know what we are here to investigate."

"Shut up. If you don't want to live anymore, just do whatever the higher-ups tell you to do."

Lang Jiuchuan walked towards the Hall of Rebirth with an expressionless face. He was really looking for Jiang Che. That's right, since the other party had used the magic weapon to see Jiang Che's consciousness, since he was a spiritual creature, he would naturally not let him go.

In the Hall of Rebirth, Gong Qi and the others had just discussed how to investigate this evil creature, and Shen Qinghe had also interrogated Miss Qi Si's maids and servants. Just as they were about to have a vegetarian meal, they saw Lang Jiuchuan coming back.

"Why are you here again?" Shen Qinghe asked.

Lang Jiuchuan said: "I have something to ask you. It's already noon. Let's have a vegetarian meal together."

Shen Qinghe naturally wanted it more than anything, but he felt a little disgusted that Gong Qi had to be brought along.

He asked Changgui to go down and make arrangements.

Shangong and his companions did not come over, so the only ones who had the vegetarian meal together were Gong Qi, Shen Qinghe and Lang Jiuchuan. Originally, she had only invited these two people.

The vegetarian food in Huguo Temple was good, and the few of them ate their fill quickly, each holding a cup of tea to sip.

"You came back not just to have a vegetarian meal with us, what did you think of?" Gong Qi took a sip of tea and leaned lazily on the small table, without any sitting posture.

Shen Qinghe looked away unhappily. If he still had a toothpick in his mouth, he would look like a scoundrel. And he was from the Xuan clan, tsk.

Lang Jiuchuan held the teacup and asked, "What is your current plan for this murder case?"

"Based on the bloody hole on her neck, we are inclined to believe that it was bitten by a zombie or a demon beast. Humans cannot do that." Gong Qi said, "If a zombie came out, it must have come out of the tomb. Let's first check if any of the surrounding tombs have been broken, and then follow the clues to find out where it is. We also need to check for demon beasts."

"Oh, the needle-in-the-haystack method."

Gong Qi glared at Lang Jiuchuan: "Do you have a good idea? We have to cooperate with the government on this matter, and I'd like to trouble Lord Shen to send someone to investigate."

Lang Jiuchuan frowned and asked, "Didn't you find anything useful on Zhuo Yu? His wife was also on the list of missing women with pure Yin horoscopes, and yesterday, I also saw him flirting with Qi Si."

Shen Qinghe said, "I have checked. Zhuo Yu left the temple and returned to the city after offering incense yesterday. But I am afraid that the matter of his legitimate wife is related to him. I have asked someone to secretly check him, hoping to find some clues."

Lang Jiuchuan was stunned and slightly disappointed. Did she guess wrong again?

"Also, Fourth Miss Qi was not abducted from her courtyard. Instead, she and her maid went to the pear forest in the middle of the night. Her personal maid died in the pear forest."

"How did you die?"

"He died from a broken neck."

Lang Jiuchuan's eyebrows moved: "That was man-made." She looked at Gong Qi: "If you don't know why Qi Si and the others left, you can ask this maid why she went there."

"I am not yet well-versed in my skills, and I don't have the basics yet. Why don't you come?" Gong Qi smiled.

Shen Qinghe frowned when he saw the two people playing charades. The man is dead, how could he ask such a question?
"Forget it then." Lang Jiuchuan turned to Shen Qinghe and said, "They would not go to the pear forest without a reason. We can check it out. Also, even if Zhuo Yu left the temple, it could be a feint. He is a cunning man."

She still didn't believe that Zhuo Yu was innocent.

"That's what I was planning." Shen Qinghe nodded.

Lang Jiuchuan took another sip of tea, and then asked why he came: "Princess Chao'an's consort, I wonder if your uncle knows him?"

Gong Qi's eyes flashed. Here she comes. This is her real purpose. She must have discovered something wrong.

Shen Qinghe was also a little surprised that she suddenly changed the subject to the current imperial consort. However, he thought about it for a moment and said, "Princess Chao'an's imperial consort is Cong Jinling, the second son of Cong Yihe, the current director of the Imperial Observatory."

Lang Jiuchuan was surprised: "From the Supervisor's family?"

"Yes, my family has served in the Imperial Observatory of Dadan for generations."

No wonder he was so alert, it turned out that his family had a long tradition of Taoism, which meant that everyone in his family knew Taoism to some extent.

"Do your family members know Taoism?"

Gong Qi chuckled: "Of course I will. Our ancestors have also produced high-level Taoists who have successfully established their foundations. Now most of them are learning in the Xuan Clan. Why are you asking this?"

Lang Jiuchuan tapped the teacup with his fingertips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have a clue, I wonder if there is any connection?"

"Oh?"

"Princess Chao'an's pregnancy is a little strange." Lang Jiuchuan looked at Gong Qi and said, "The fetus in her belly has a very strong yin energy."

I went to a Chinese doctor to see a doctor for my cervical spine. I was given electrotherapy, acupuncture and acupuncture thread embedding. The tips of the acupuncture needles were bleeding. The thread embedding at the back of my neck was so painful. I thought, if acupuncture and thread embedding are so painful, how painful will serious illnesses and childbirth be? It's expensive. Really, health is wealth. May you and I be healthy!
