The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 112 Motivation

Mi Congcong breathed a sigh of relief, almost being discovered!
The butler of Tong's Mansion didn't leave right away, and searched there for a while before giving up.

After the butler of Tong's Mansion left, Kong Zhao did not take Mi Congcong back to the original alley, but took her back to the street from the other side.

As soon as he returned to the teahouse, Kong Zhao asked, "Why did that man follow you?"

Mi Congcong told Kong Zhao about the female water ghost begging him for help, and Kong Zhao's face turned ugly when he heard that: "You can't do what you can!"

She has a bell given by her master, the female ghost can't hurt her at all, and she actually ran to meddle in her own business.

"Brother, when this matter is resolved, you can scold me whatever you want!" Mi Congcong looked at him innocently with blinking eyes: "Brother, you can't do nothing like Master! You must help me!" !"

Seeing that his senior brother didn't speak, Mi Congcong simply dragged his master into the water: "Senior brother, Master took over the task of saving Tong Li. The master said it was to test me, but Tong Li couldn't speak, and her body was still intact." I found her, and now even her soul hasn't appeared again, I really don't know what to do?"

"Senior brother, people in the government are suspicious of Uncle Shanggu, and I'm afraid it won't work if we don't intervene in this matter." Mi Congcong continued to lobby.

Kong Zhao kept his face cold, seeing this, Mi Congcong stopped talking, and stood in front of him with his head down, with a stubborn look of resigning himself to slaughter.

After a while, Kong Zhao sighed helplessly: "Just this one time, the next one will not be an example!"

Mi Congcong sharply raised his bright phoenix eyes, and said decisively: "Brother, I will never be so reckless again in the future!"

Regarding her guarantee, Kong Zhao took a wait-and-see attitude: "How do you want me to help you?"

"Brother, help me find Tong Li's soul first, I want to ask her something."

Because she was suspicious, she wanted to go to Wen Tiancheng to check on Sun Qin just now, but from the tone of the butler of the Tongfu just now, Sun Qin was already wary of her. If Sun Qin knew that she was going to Wen Tiancheng, she would definitely Bad for her.

She promised to help Tong Li, but that was under the condition of ensuring her own safety, so this matter has to be discussed in the long run.

Before Mi Congcong asked Madam Tong for Tong Li's birth date, Kong Zhao quickly found the location of Tong Li's soul.

"Her soul is at the county government?" Mi Congcong was startled: "What is it doing in the county government, can you call it here?"

Kong Zhao pursed his lips: "You can call its soul here, and ask it yourself if you have any questions."

The well in the courtyard of the Gu family cast a spell, and if you want to recruit Tong Li's soul, you must first break the formation.

Being caught by his senior brother watching him break the law, Mi Congcong had no choice but to praise his senior brother for his competence.

That night, at Kong Zhao's request, Mi Congcong recruited Tong Li's soul himself.

After Mi Congcong prepared the candles, scented paper and other things, Kong Zhao asked her to recite the ghost spell twice, and let her start after she was sure it was correct.

Mi Congcong devoted all his attention to ghost hunting, and he knew these spells by heart, and he was familiar with them by his uncle's side, so he was quite proficient in his movements. But when he actually practiced them, Mi Congcong realized that he was too complacent.

"When chanting a mantra, you need to concentrate. The mantra and the movement must be consistent..." Kong Zhao instructed from the side.

Mi Congcong hadn't coordinated his movements and the spells in his mouth well, when he suddenly noticed a cloud of Yin Qi pouring into the yard.

Mi Congcong looked towards the well subconsciously, and seeing Tong Li's soul sitting by the well, he couldn't help being overjoyed, put down the mahogany sword in his hand, and walked towards it: "You finally appeared!"

At the same time, in the bedroom in the back hall of the county yamen, seeing his wife Yang returning home exhausted, Xu Cunming asked with concern: "Is Tao'er asleep?"

Tao'er is their golden grandson who just gave birth to the first month. She didn't know what was going on these few nights, but she kept crying and making noises at night, which made the whole family feel uneasy.

"Sleeping." Yang shook her sore arm, took off her coat and lay down on the bed. Just as she closed her eyes, she suddenly thought of something, opened her eyes and said to Xu Cunming sideways: "Master, just now my daughter-in-law can complain to me Now, it is said that Tao’er’s crying and fuss are all caused by the skeleton in the front office, and now that the skeleton is confirmed to be Dong Changming, why not let Dong’s family take it back and let him be buried in peace?”

In fact, even if the daughter-in-law didn't tell, Yang would have to tell Xu Cunming about it, because the grandson was fine before, but as soon as Dong Changming's bones were found, the grandson started crying every night.

Xu Cunming thought for a while and said, "The case has not been solved yet, so the Dong family can't take the bones back. I'll have someone send them to Yizhuang tomorrow and send someone to look after them."

As long as I can get the bones out of the county government office, Yang doesn't care where they go: "Succeed, tomorrow I will go to Qingshui Nunnery to pray for Tao'er, and then ask Zhang Fu to wear it to drive away evil spirits."

The incense in Qingshui Nunnery is very prosperous, and the Bodhisattva there is very spiritual. People in several surrounding counties will come to Qingshui Nunnery to seek shelter in case of trouble.

"You discuss these matters with your daughter-in-law," Xu Cunming didn't object, and yawned: "It's almost dawn, go to sleep."

The next morning, Wen Tiancheng met Gu Yu who was going to buy vegetables on the way to the county government.

Wen Tiancheng nodded to Gu Yu and was about to leave, but Gu Yu stopped him from behind.

"Wen Butou!" Gu Yu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My boss said that Wen Butou can be investigated from Mrs. Tong Shao and the housekeeper of Tong's House."

A stern look flashed in Wen Tiancheng's eyes, and Gu Yu said again: "My boss even asked me to tell Wen Butou that Tong Li is dead."

Wen Tiancheng's pupils shrank, and he stared at Gu Yu carefully.

"Wen Butou, my boss just wants to give Miss Tong justice, and please Wen Butou to keep it a secret." Gu Yu left with his basket in his hand.

Tong Li couldn't speak, she just nodded and shook her head. Mi Congcong could only ask a few questions, but it was confirmed that Sun Qin was behind the killing of Dong Changming and Tong Li.

Mi Congcong originally guessed whether Sun Qin killed the two because of jealousy and hatred because of his admiration for Dong Changming, but Tong Li denied it. Now Mi Congcong couldn't figure out why Sun Qin wanted to kill them?

According to Mrs. Tong, Tong Li and Sun Qin should have a good relationship before she got married. It wasn't because she admired Dong Changming, so what was Sun Qin's motive for killing?
Mi Congcong couldn't figure it out, so he asked Wen Tiancheng to investigate, and hoped that Wen Tiancheng would not let her down.

A few days later, Mi Congcong met Wen Tiancheng at the teahouse.

"Wen Butou, why are you so free to drink tea today?" Mi Congcong stepped forward to greet him.

"Boss Mi, I came to see you specially, not to drink tea." Wen Tiancheng said with a straight look.

"Then I'll invite Wen Butou to drink tea." Mi Congcong changed his words.

"No, I invite Boss Mi." Wen Tiancheng said without any rebuttal, and told Gu Yu: "Master Gu, please give me a private room, and some snacks, I will chat with your boss."
