The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 180 Her death was caused by the Rong family

The death of the fourth daughter of the Qi family in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was widely spread, causing panic among the people. The Marquis of Kaiping Mansion also heard about it. When Lang Zhengping heard that the martial law in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion had been lifted again, he hurriedly asked Lang Caimeng to bring the palace guards to take Cui and Lang Jiuchuan back to the mansion to prevent anything from happening to them.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the Lang family's team followed the Pei family's team back to the city. Lang Jiuchuan was thinking about the Lu family's affairs, said hello to Cui and the others, and planned to go to Tongtian Pavilion to see if there was any news about Apia.

"The cause of Miss Qi's death has not been fully investigated yet, so let your eldest brother accompany you." Cui did not point out where she was going, nor did she even ask, but she asked Lang Caimeng to follow her.

Lang Jiuchuan had no plans to go anywhere, and seeing that Cui was not going to go unless he could follow her, she nodded and told him to follow her if she wanted to.

Lang Caimeng knew about the existence of Tongtian Pavilion, but it was a place where people would not dare to pass by the door without silver in their pockets. If you wanted to buy some information, just bring enough silver. In addition to information, it was said that you could also buy rare weapons and precious treasures.

But this ninth sister wanted to come to such a den of brothel.

Lang Caimeng touched the purse at his waist. It seemed that he did not have much silver with him today. It didn't matter. He could just put it on credit and let the clerk from Tongtian Pavilion go to the Marquis' Mansion to settle the bill.

As soon as Lang Jiuchuan entered Tongtian Pavilion, Apia just came out of the back hall. When he saw her, he wanted to turn around and go back to avoid her.

"A Piao, Happy New Year! This piece of leather is really festive." Lang Jiuchuan bowed and said, "Congratulations on your prosperity."

The ghost dressed in red was startled and avoided her greeting: "Ninth Miss, ghost can't bear it."

He looked at the man behind Lang Jiuchuan. He was a member of the Lang family, but why was he avoiding his gaze?

But Lang Cai was amazed at the fist-sized pearls placed on the lampstand in the main hall. They were either for appreciation or for lighting, but they were displayed so brightly.

It is indeed Tsutenkaku, so grand.

Lang Jiuchuan said to Lang Caimeng, "Brother, wait downstairs for a while. Play with whatever you like. I'll be back soon."

Lang Cai, who was pretending to be calm, twitched his lips: "..."

While you are playing, don’t you know how expensive this Tsutenkaku is?

Apia asked a little ghost to come up and invite Lang Caimeng to have tea, while he took Lang Jiuchuan upstairs.

Lang Jiuchuan entered the room and took out the box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to him: "Happy New Year, there's nothing good here, so don't despise it, Shopkeeper Apia."

Apia didn't dare to accept it for the moment. If someone was being too attentive to her for no reason, he was either a traitor or a thief. If he accepted her things, he would probably have to pay more.

Lang Jiuchuan stuffed it into his hand and said, "Take it. I just want to ask for some information."

Apia felt a heavy weight in his hands and thought, the information you want to ask about would cost a fortune.

But forget it.

"Girls always make things difficult for an old ghost like me." Ah Piao muttered, "I asked someone to check what you said last time. You were wrong. The people who went to the manor to play that day were all real people, but one person was missed."

"Oh?"

Apia took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, handed them over, and said, "This took a lot of our ghost effort, and it was a new ghost who provided the information, so it was not easy to come by..."

Lang Jiuchuan snatched the paper away while he was mumbling. Li Yifang was born into the famous Longxi Li family and married into the Lu family, a doctor in the Ministry of Works. She was the wife of the third master of the Lu family and was known as Grandma Lu San.

"This Madam Lu San didn't go with us for fun. Instead, she felt unwell when she was returning to the city from visiting her relatives. When she passed by the manor, she asked the princess to take her in for the night. Then she went to the manor to ask the doctor for treatment. That's why she has never appeared in public. Not only that, she has never been remembered by anyone, as if she had never appeared. I think there is only one possibility, that she used secret methods or medicine to confuse people to forget her existence. So she was not on the list I gave you that day." Lang Jiuchuan looked at the name and said, "Then how did you think of her?"

Ah Piao said in a cold voice, "This new ghost knew her only because he met her at the back door of the manor, and was then twisted by her bodyguards and thrown into the water. After the new ghost died, she was in a daze and kept wandering by the water. We found her later, and it took a lot of effort to make her remember. We didn't expect that she would die like this."

"So what else does she know?"

"According to what the little ghost said, there were three people following her at the time. One of them was holding someone in his arms, but he was wrapped in a cloak. I'm not sure if it was you..." As Apia spoke, his face changed and he quickly retreated to the door to avoid the fierce aura that suddenly burst out from Lang Jiuchuan.

The awe-inspiring spirit of Tao permeated the room.

Ah Piao covered his burning paper body with a look of fear in his eyes, and said, "Ninth Miss, the death of your previous incarnation was not caused by me, the old ghost."

So, don’t kill by mistake!
Lang Jiuchuan looked over and saw a pair of eyes with a hint of gold in them, which made Apia flinch again.

"Sorry, it's the regret of this body." Lang Jiuchuan clasped his fists, took out a box from his sleeve, lit a stick of incense, and fanned it over.

Soul incense nourishes the soul and is a tonic for ghosts to fill their bellies.

Apia returned to the table and sat down, taking a few greedy puffs. It smelled so good.

He saw Lang Jiuchuan's face was dark, and he said angrily: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and the debt will be found eventually. However, that Grandma Lu San can use a secret method to make people forget her existence, so I guess this title is for others."

"How to say?"

"The ages don't match." Apia said, "The kid heard the bodyguard address her as Madam, so she must be in her early thirties. The Third Madam of the Lu family seems to be less than twenty."

He took a look at the soul incense, then took out a piece of paper and handed it over. On it was half a portrait. Why was it called half a portrait?

She has phoenix eyes, willow-shaped eyebrows, a delicate nose, and a charming teardrop mole under her left eye, but it is gone under her nose.

Lang Jiuchuan's eyes, as black as obsidian, glanced over again.

Ah Piaozhi's body tensed up, and he said hurriedly, "That child died unjustly, and his soul is confused. This is all he can think of. It's not that we deliberately didn't want to be a ghost. In addition, the third grandmother of the Lu family doesn't look like this, so she must be a top-notch identity."

"No one else supports her, but you support her? Does the Lu family have a child learning skills in the Rong family?" Lang Jiuchuan asked.

"Have you checked the Lu family?" Ah Pia was surprised and said, "It is true. It seems that he was sent there when he was six years old. He should be sixteen or seventeen this year. He should be quite useful."

"Will it be used?" Lang Jiuchuan sneered, "If it was really needed, the Lu family wouldn't have been allowed to make guns."

The subordinates used to divert attention are often the ones most easily abandoned.

Apia didn't dare to refute, after all, she was right, but the Lu family had no other choice. The prerequisite for being reused was naturally to be a good gun. This was also the choice of many people struggling at the bottom of the society. This was the way the world was.

Lang Jiuchuan used his fingernails to draw a cross on the word "Lu Family". Regardless of whether they participated in the death of his predecessor, it was certain that the gun came from the Rong family!
"Rong family, it was really you who did it."

That'll do.

I want to write fast but I can’t, I always delete and revise, and the scumbag is still the same scumbag!
