In the middle of the night, the moon on the first day of the new year hangs high in the sky.

The moonlight is not bright, and it adds a bit of treachery to the deep streets and alleys.

There was a baby's sobbing accompanied by the sound of the wind, which made people's heart palpitate.

There was a mournful "clank" sound from the upper body, and the sword body vibrated, pointing to the west.

"Master, she is in the west"

"Well, let's go."

As soon as the words fell, Minshang jumped out impatiently.

"Master, this kind of temperament is not up to you." Xiao Yi joked with a smile.

"With whom?"

"Follow me!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a dead silence between the master and the apprentice.

Xiao Yi rubbed the bridge of his nose with his right hand: Oh my god, what did he say that was just out of his mind!

Why do you always act stupid in front of Master!

What follow you follow me?This is not a child!

Min Shang also seemed very dissatisfied with the fact that he followed Xiao Yi, and accelerated forward again, leaving Xiao Yi far behind.

Gu He smiled and shook his head, with a smile in his disgust, "Naughty!"

I don't know if it's the person behind me or the sword under my feet.

His Majesty stopped over a three-entry house.

This is the place with the heaviest evil spirit in the whole Gaoyong City: clusters of dark and dead energy surround the house impenetrably, and the dim moonlight can't even shine through.

It's like a dead zone.

"Master—" Xiao Yi chased after him, frowning, "Why is it here?"

"Meng Family?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Yi's eyes flashed with disgust, "Master, I found the place, let's hand it over to City Lord Duan for interrogation."

The sky rose into the sky, and the sky of Meng Mansion was filled with black mist, as if no one had ever been here before.

In the early morning of the second day, City Lord Duan led a mighty group of people into the gate of Meng Mansion.

Unfortunately, he bumped into Meng Zichen head-on.

Meng Zichen saw Xiao Yi at a glance, and jumped angrily, "Okay, Xiao Yi, if my master won't look for you, you dare to come here."

"Presumptuous!" City Lord Duan had always been annoyed by evil spirits, but now seeing Meng Zichen bluffing, he was even more annoyed, "Call Meng Weijun out, and say that I, Duan, invited him."

Meng Zichen froze for a moment, then ran to the backyard in despair.

Gu He quietly moved towards his apprentice, "Jun Meng Wei is an official, and his son doesn't know the city lord?"

Xiao Yi approached his master and said, "Meng Weijun was originally a poor scholar. Later, Master Liu of Gaoyong City married his daughter to him, so he barely made a fortune. Relying on his father-in-law to become a small clerk, he can be regarded as a young man of his ancestors." After smoking, others will respect him as Mr. Meng."

"Miss Liu was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and her parents didn't want their precious daughter to suffer. When they got married, they directly bought these two courtyards as their new house."

Xiao Yi sneered, "Who would have thought that, Mrs. Meng was pregnant in the second year, and I am only five months younger than Meng Zichen."

"In front of people, there is a Ruyi Langjun who is infatuated with tenderness and sweetness, but Qin Lou and Chu Guan are not left behind!"

Just as he was talking, a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament came out from the inside, and he gave a big gift to the leader Duan City Master, "Greetings to the City Master, I didn't know the City Master was coming, I am rude."

It was obviously a flattering gesture, but accompanied by his sincere face, Gu He suddenly understood why Miss Liu had to marry Meng Weijun when she went.

City Lord Duan helped him up, unfortunately, when Meng Weijun raised his eyes, he saw Gu He and Xiao Yi beside the City Lord.

I saw Meng Weijun's face switched to the joy of reuniting relatives in a second, "Yi'er, why are you here? I have been looking for you for a long time for my father!"

After speaking, he took a step forward, with sincerity and relief, "I have grown taller and gained a little weight, good, good!"

The nausea on Xiao Yi's face was almost unbearable, Gu He stepped forward and stopped Meng Weijun's hand that was about to reach out with his body, and said concisely, "Investigate the case."

City Lord Duan took over the words, "Recently there have been evil spirits in the city. The Immortal Chief made an investigation yesterday and found out that a pregnant woman died unexpectedly and turned into a ghost. It is probably here."

Meng Weijun looked upright, "The humble official must fully cooperate with the adults."

Meng Zichen sneaked over quietly, "Father, it was Xiao Yi who beat me yesterday, and my whole body hurts even now!"

"What nonsense! This is your younger brother, you are getting more and more confused!" Meng Weijun glared at Meng Zichen, full of disgust.

Meng Zichen took a step back timidly, as if he really knew he was wrong.

Xiao Yi sized up the father and son, feeling suspicious in his heart.

Meng Zichen has always been the precious and precious baby of the Meng family, how could he swallow this kind of anger after more than ten years!

"My lord, according to the servants of the Meng Mansion, a month ago, a prostitute from the Baihua Building did enter the mansion, her name was Yingying, and she never went out again."

City Lord Duan glanced at Mr. Meng Wei, "Search again!"

Meng Weijun's expression was shocked suddenly, and he was extremely distressed, "Why, Yingying left me a letter that day, saying that she was going back to her hometown and she would be back in two months. She is still pregnant with my child, how could she take advantage of my absence? Entered the Meng Mansion."

City Lord Duan's expression changed, "Why can't you enter the Meng Mansion without you? If you don't enter the Meng Mansion, why did you leave a letter?"

"Of course it's because of my wife." Meng Weijun showed a dejected look on his face, "My wife's surname is Liu, and her father is the chief bookkeeper of Gaoyong City, and he doted on her very much since childhood."

"Oh, but Liu Ren who retired last month?"

"Returning to Lord City Master, that's right. Master Liu is only this one daughter, so naturally he dotes on her very much, and she has cultivated my wife into a spoiled and domineering temperament—"

Meng Zichen's face darkened, and he wanted to defend his mother: "Father, my mother—"

"Shut up!" Meng Weijun turned his head viciously, and returned to his elegant image as soon as he turned his face, "Oh—the dog has no shape, and it disturbed the adults. My wife's personality has become more and more surly these years, and she drove Yi'er out of the house while I was away. At home, I can't bear her gradually. At this time, I met Yingying—"

Meng Weijun's expression gradually softened: "She is a gentle, virtuous, educated and reasonable person. We fell in love, and she also had my child. I was going to welcome her in, so I discussed it with my wife. I didn't expect her to be furious. I walked away too."

"Later, I received a letter from Yingying. She said that she would go home to see her parents, and she would be back in two months. I was relieved. I didn't expect—this poisonous woman!"

Xiao Yi's handsome face was half a smile, "Why did Master Meng find out the murderer before the body was found?"

Meng Weijun's smile froze on his face, and he became natural again in an instant: "Yi'er blames me, it's my father's fault, if you want to beat me or scold me, I will never complain about my father!"

"My lord, I found it, the body is in the backyard!"

Hearing this, Meng Weijun staggered and walked faster than City Lord Duan who was practicing martial arts. When he saw the corpse just dug out from the mud, he knelt down on the ground and murmured: "Yingying, this is Yingying's favorite. A suit of clothes..."

After speaking, he covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembled, and he sobbed softly.

City Lord Duan's tone sank, "Where's Mrs. Meng? Why haven't you invited me out yet!"

There were rustling sounds from the courtyard, and a woman with thin cheeks and pale lips was helped to walk over.

She leaned all her strength on the servant girl beside her, and it seemed that every step she took took all her strength.

Meng Zichen stepped forward to support her other arm, and called out, "Mother."
