Stunning at Every Step: Sheng Chong Ghost Princess

Chapter 107 The corpse hanging from the top of the tower

Mingyue looked at the corpse and recognized at a glance that this was the person who gave her medicine last night.This person was also about forty years old, not very tall, but very fat. The strangle marks on his neck gave him the hideous appearance of all hanged people, with protruding tongue and bloodshot eyes.

Really strangled.

The clothes on his body were neat, and even the hat on his head was still buckled on his head. Obviously, there was no trace of scuffling with anyone before his death.

The fingers of the left hand were hooked and stiff, and there were unknown stains under the nails of the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger.

There were a few petals on the stretcher, which probably fell from Yan Ming's body.The edges of his boots were clean, there was some mud behind the heel, and a blade or two of grass stuck to the mud...

Fu Ruoshui was not interested in the dead man on the stretcher, so he secretly watched Mingyue's reaction.

Zhao Mingyue just recognized the corpse, and looked at the rest for a while without saying anything.

Fu Ruoshui was a little disappointed. In her heart, Zhao Mingyue was the one who could find the moon that had disappeared for 200 years. She hadn't seen enough of Mingyue's wise side last time, and wanted to appreciate her style again.So she asked:
"Mingyue, what do you think is going on?"

"I don't have any objections, it depends on the Yamen and your Yueshan faction." This matter has nothing to do with her, she rubbed the soles of her feet with oil, turned her head and went out of the door, "Since I have got rid of the suspicion, I will go out first."

"Mingyue..." Fu Ruoshui yelled coquettishly, but he didn't stop the person from humming. He looked back at the corpse and said to the county magistrate, "Master Wu, this corpse looks like it was hanged, and there are no evil spirits around. , I can’t see anything when I look at it this way.”

Master Wu stroked his goatee and asked, "That means, your Yueshan sect can't do anything?"

"Why do you still say that our Yueshan faction is powerless?" Fu Ruoshui raised his eyebrows angrily, and thought about it again, "Did you see that young master just now? He is the junior brother of our Yueshan faction. Don't talk about grinding beans, just No matter how powerful the evil spirit is, he can find it out for you!"

"Then there will be Miss Lao Fu and your little brother."

Fu Ruoshui said a few words to Master Wu and went out, Zhao Mingyue and Ye Shi were no longer in the yard.After chasing them out, they saw Zhao Mingyue had washed her hands and was happily walking towards the gate with Ye Shi.

"Mingyue, Zhao Mingyue!" Fu Ruoshui shouted to stop her from behind.

Mingyue looks back.

Fu Ruoshui ran over with a smile and said, "I just told Mr. Wu that we will catch the murderer for him."

We... the word shouldn't include her, right?Mingyue nodded: "Then you have worked hard."

"What are you guys? You also have a share." Fu Ruoshui said proudly, "I told Mr. Wu just now that you are a junior brother of our Yueshan Sect, and you will solve this case with me."

"I didn't agree." Zhao Mingyue protested.

"You didn't promise Mr. Wu, but you have to promise me, right?"

"I..." Mingyue was dumbfounded by this little girl, "I don't cheat friends like you."

"Hmph, who told you to leave without saying goodbye, and now I'm caught again?" Thinking that he was the first to meet Mingyue, Fu Ruoshui said it as a matter of course.

Ye Shi smiled and said, "Mingyue just came back and you ordered him around, why are women so cruel?"

"I didn't order you, but I kept giving you free food, free living and free drinking. It's time for you two brothers to repay me, right?"

Zhao Mingyue: "..."

Ye Shi: "..."

Seeing that they were speechless, Fu Ruoshui smiled cleverly and put his hands behind his back: "Let's go, go to the Seven-Stories Pagoda to have a look."

Mingyue and Yeshi went to the seven-story pagoda with the brothers of the Yueshan School.

Watching the Yueshan school's onmyojis rummaging for possible hiding places for Xie Chong, Mingyue spoke to Ye Shi who was beside him: "Are they so sure that Xie Chong did this?"

Ye Shi: "The Grinding Bean Ghost is a vengeful ghost, how did he die before he was alive, and what will happen to the other party when he comes back..."

"Is that so?" Fu Ruoshui suddenly appeared from behind them and said.

Zhao Mingyue and Ye Shi were taken aback, and they said in unison, "You walk silently?"

But Fu Ruoshui asked seriously: "Then should we ask, who in Quanzhou City was strangled to death?"

Mingyue said noncommittally: "It may not be killed by evil spirits."

"But Brother Ji did see the Grinding Bean Ghost in Quanzhou City, but it ran away." Fu Ruoshui added, and then said excitedly, "I'll go to Mr. Wu first to ask if there is really a case of being strangled to death. , maybe we can find out the identity of some wronged soul."

Fu Ruoshui did this very actively.

Zhao Mingyue and Ye Shi didn't intend to waste time here, and were about to leave. The little white fox walked up to Zhao Mingyue and barked at her.

Mingyue actually understood what he meant, he wanted her to undo the spell for him, Yao actually liked his human form the most, and once he cultivated into an adult, he was very eager to admire his body from time to time.But he had a good idea, and if he didn't kill his vigor, he still didn't know who had the final say now.

Ye Shi said: "How can this fox demon still show up?"

"I don't know, I ran out by myself, and I can't call back."

The two were talking and walking non-stop.

The little fox circled around Zhao Mingyue's feet and saw that she was still striding non-stop, so he opened his mouth and bit her trouser leg. Zhao Mingyue staggered, stood firm and turned back to point at the little fox: "Be honest, or I will kill you when I turn around." Lock it up in a cage."

The little fox was not afraid of being disobedient at all, and a hole was bitten out of his trousers.

Mingyue wanted to say something again, but suddenly saw a few yellow petals floating down from the sky, she looked up, and saw some unknown tree full of yellow flowers.

There is only one plant around the seven-storey pagoda.

Zhao Mingyue looked down at the grass again.

It rained heavily a few days ago, the land was dry but the soil was still relatively soft, leaving two scratches on the grass.

Seeing the strange color on her face, Ye Shi asked, "What's wrong?"

"This flower is also on Yan Ming's body."

Mingyue raised her head and looked not far away, there was a well, and beside the well was a little novice, holding a bucket in his hand, looking at her timidly.

Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly at him.

The little novice clung to the bucket and looked back at the bright moon vigilantly.

It seemed like a timid child, Mingyue didn't want to scare him, so she said to Ye Shi: "Let's go."

The two continued to walk towards the exit, but a timid call came from behind: "Shi, benefactor."

Zhao Mingyue and Ye Shi turned their heads.

The little novice stood far away, raised his right palm and performed a Buddhist salute, then said: "Are you going to investigate the case of last night?"

Mingyue raised her eyebrows and looked at his shy appearance, then nodded: "Yes."

"I, I saw a man-like ghost hanging that man from the cornice."

"Oh? Did you see that?"

The little novice nodded vigorously, slightly frightened but sure.

Mingyue asked again: "How do you know he is a ghost?"

The little novice looked around, afraid that there might be a ghost nearby, and said timidly: "I saw him fly directly from the seven-story pagoda, and then disappeared in a flash. Is there anyone else who can do such a thing except ghosts?"

Mingyue nodded: "So that's the case, I will tell the official."

After leaving the seven-story pagoda, Ye Shi asked, "Do you believe what the child said?"

"Such a young child, there must be a reason for saying such things..." Mingyue suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Shi who was approaching, "What are you doing?"

Ye Shi raised his hand and took off a petal from the top of his head, and put it in front of her: "This."

Zhao Mingyue shook her head, and the two continued to move forward. The sound of bells was still ringing from her feet, and Ye Shi unconsciously looked down: "Have you taken off the life lock on your feet yet?"

Mingyue was used to this thing, so she didn't care and said: "This thing seems to be impossible to cut with an ordinary magic weapon."

Ye Shi cast his eyes on her side face: "Are you still planning to go back and find him?"

Mingyue knew that he was talking about Chu Ziyan, and thought for a while: "No, Ghost Face knows that Prince Yan's mansion will come to find him, so I'd better not throw myself into the trap."

"That's fine!" Ye Shi suddenly embraced Mingyue's shoulders with some joy, "From now on, brother will take you to pretend to fly."

"Hahaha, what about you? Xinjing still hasn't moved?"

Speaking of this, Ye Shi sighed: "There is no movement, I can't remember anything, but..."

"But what?"

"It's nothing, I just don't mention some broken dreams, what do you want to eat at noon?"

"It's all right."

The city of Quanzhou is really not big, only about a hundred households, and a main street leads directly to the whole city, which is where the Quanzhou market is located.It was lunch time at this time, and there were many people on the street.

Especially in the "Suxiang Tofu Shop", there was a long queue of people waiting to eat in front of the door.

Ye Shi took a look and said to Mingyue, "No wonder there are so many people. It turns out that they are Tofu Xishi. The girl who sells tofu is very upright, with an angel face and a devil figure, tsk tsk..."

"Then let's buy tofu?"

"Right on my mind!"

"..." She just talked casually, but Ye Shi was very interested, so she really didn't have any other suggestions.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, it was their turn. Ye Shili, who was still talking to her, stood in front of her first, and Mingyue could only slightly tilt her head to look at Tofu Xi Shi.

Su Xiang was really good-looking, with white and tender skin, a round face, and a pair of red phoenix eyes with sparkling autumn waves. It was not the kind of beauty that was nationally beautiful, but also had a kind of simple and innocent, which made people look very comfortable.

She is not tall, but her chest behind the floral apron is round and plump, and her figure is even more graceful and plump, which is the type that men like.

Su Xiang looked at Ye Shi and asked, "What tofu do you want?"

The words are warm and attractive.

Ye Shi stared straight at her and asked, "What kind of tofu is the best for you?"

This is a bit frivolous, Ye Er!Mingyue can only hear but not see.

But Su Xiang didn't care and said: "Su Xiang's tofu is delicious. Do you want to eat it now or take it home and cook it?"

"Of course it's best to eat it now." Ye Shi's eyes fell on the chest of others, without any hesitation.

Dogs can't change eating shit, Mingyue can only sigh in her heart.

Su Xiang said: "Young master, let me bring you some tofu nao, both salty and sweet. Su Xiang will put it on for you."

When Su Xiang lowered her head to load the tofu, Zhao Mingyue saw two scars under her neck, which were hidden by her collar but could be seen when she turned her head.
