The Ninth Lady is a rebellious person.

Chapter 44 She Has Her Rules
As bad news came one after another, Lang Zhengping's mood became as cold and cold as the snow outside. He was extremely heartbroken.

Originally, they only found out about Song Chengfu and Lu family's concubine Rong, but there was no substantial evidence to prove that they were related to the Lang family's matter. Now that both of them are dead, even if there was no problem, it has become problematic. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

After Gao Cailiang traced them back, he found three people dead, all of whom were involved in the Lang family incident. Needless to say, there was a big hand behind the scenes, and the Lu family was probably not innocent either.

Lang Zhengping did not ask Lang Jiuchuan what to do about this matter. Perhaps he thought in his heart that she was just a frail little girl who could not handle anything big and there was no point in burdening her fragile body, so he let her go back to the house to rest.

Lang Jiuchuan asked Gao Ping for the names and birth dates of Song Chengfu and Aunt Rong.

Compared to Lang Zhengping, she felt a little weird when she learned the day when Song Chengfu came to Taiqing Temple. That was the same day as the original owner's death. She didn't know if the two were related. If so, that would be wonderful.

Was it because of the original owner's death that the people behind the scenes wanted to wipe out the clan, or was it the hatred brought about by the Lang family that led to the original owner's death?
No matter which point it is, it seems that I can’t leave Langjia for the moment.

Lang Jiuchuan lowered her head to look at the table. The water stains on it were drying in the wind. They were the words she had unconsciously written with water.

"Who has such a big hatred? Not only will I kill you, I will also kill your whole family!"

Lang Jiuchuan laughed, his eyes full of coldness, and licked his lips.

When Jiang Che came back from outside, he saw the person sitting under the lamp with his eyes lowered and licking his lips, which made him shudder.

How to put it, the person under the lamp doesn’t seem like a normal person, but a female devil wrapped in black fog.

This is a tough guy who is not easy to mess with!

He tightened his belt, coughed heavily, and asked in a nonchalant manner, "Who in this mansion is so desperate to make you unhappy by showing such a creepy smile?"

"Someone wants me dead, the kind that can't be deader, what do you think I should do?" Lang Jiuchuan raised his head and looked at it with a creepy smile.

Jiang Che shuddered and said, "Didn't you say that you have your own rules. If someone wants you dead, they will blow out your lamp. You must blow back or even pull out the other person's wick?"

"Yeah." Lang Jiuchuan smiled again and changed the subject: "Tell me, what did you find out?"

He rushed into her spiritual platform and said, "I'm tired. Let me take a few breaths first."

All of its spiritual consciousness was returned to the spiritual platform, and the natural luck of Lang Jiuchuan's soul began to flow, making it so happy that it spread out its limbs and tried desperately to absorb it.

Lang Jiuchuan also felt the other party's willpower flowing, and started to pull it out without any hesitation.

As the two of them were interacting with each other, Jiang Che suddenly felt something was wrong. This feeling was very similar to a word he had heard before.

Double repair.

His lips stiffened slightly, the tips of his ears turned red, he glanced at someone secretly, and saw that she looked calm and collected, and had no dirty thoughts at all.

Ugh! He spat loudly, but he didn't know who he was spitting at, himself or someone else.

"The evil spirit of Shen Peng seems to be provoked by his father. Shen Qinghe is investigating a case recently. It is a missing persons case. Two rich and powerful men in Beijing have disappeared. They are Yang Ming from the Changle Earl's family and Li Xin, the son of the Kangle County Prince. It has caused quite a big commotion. They are said to be missing, but in fact it is a case of the mountain god marrying a bride."

"The mountain god is getting married?" Lang Jiuchuan was surprised and became interested: "What's going on? Did the two playboys get married to the mountain god? No, are you sure it's a man who's missing, not a woman?"

This mountain god is getting married, and he is marrying a man?
"This is the strange thing. In fact, it's not just these two people who have disappeared in the past few years. There are others as well, but they are just ordinary people and don't attract much attention." Jiang Che said with a mocking tone, "But when something happens to the rich and powerful, it's different. The two families started a quarrel, and the case was handed over to the Dali Temple."

The Changle Earl's Mansion is originally a royal family, and the royal relatives act overbearingly, needless to say. When they lost their son and couldn't find him, they made a fuss and even reported it to the Dali Temple. Shen Qinghe investigated, and it took a lot of manpower, and even many people died, before he found some clues that it was related to the so-called mountain god's marriage.

"...There is a village called Nv'er Village in Tongcheng, a hundred miles away from Wujing. It is located in a forest of maples. In late autumn, the whole mountain is covered with red, so it attracts many students and tourists to enjoy the scenery. Interestingly, the village is called Nv'er Village, which is a veritable place where yin is stronger than yang."

"What's the connection between the village and the mountain god's wedding?"

"Daughter Village is not only beautiful, but also has a particularly efficacious mountain god temple. Legend has it that in November every year, Daughter Village will hold a mountain god sacrifice. At that time, the mountain god will appear, bless the bride, and keep the village safe and prosperous all year round."

When Lang Jiuchuan heard this, he felt something was wrong and said, "Since it is a mountain god sacrifice, then this so-called wedding is actually a sacrifice, right?"

It is not uncommon for remote villages and mountain strongholds to offer sacrifices to so-called ghosts and gods. The more emphasis is placed on the sacrifice, the more valuable the offerings are, whether in the form of objects or people.

If the sacrificial offering of the daughter village is the latter, then the so-called marriage is just a way to cover up the shame.

Jiang Che gave her an approving look and said, "That's true, but the sacrifices in the Daughter Village are rather strange. If other ghosts and gods use living people as sacrifices, especially when it comes to getting married, they usually use women, but the sacrifices in the Daughter Village are men."

"So those two dandies were sacrificed?"

Jiang Che shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I heard that the mountain god has married men from the Daughter Village over the years, which is why the Daughter Village has more yin than yang. It is said that they disappeared because the mountain god's wedding happened at an auspicious time, and the mountain god was furious, so he forced them to stay. Of course, this is what the Daughter Village said, and we don't know the truth."

Lang Jiuchuan tapped the table with his fingers and said, "This daughter village is quite fierce. They dare to keep the children of the rich and powerful. They are not afraid that they will wipe out the whole village."

Just as Lang Zhengping said, people are divided into different classes. In the eyes of the powerful, all the people in a village combined are not as noble as a young man or young lady in their family. If the village really dares to seek death, it will be wiped out without even blinking an eye.

"You are right, but let's get rid of the fact that the law does not punish the masses. That village is indeed a bit weird. I heard that those who went to the mountain god temple area to look for people were either killed or seriously injured, and more or less encountered evil spirits. It's as if there is really a mountain god protecting the village." Jiang Che twisted the tiger's whiskers with both hands and said, "If it weren't for this, Shen Qinghe wouldn't have lost his men one after another, and even his son would have suffered."

Lang Jiuchuan lowered his eyes: "Whether it is a human or the so-called mountain god, it depends on Shen Qinghe's choice."

"Do you think he will come?"

Lang Jiuchuan opened the window, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and said, "Don't force it, just leave it to fate."

This is also one of her rules.
