My younger brother is acting like a demon again

"We all find it very strange. Our master was a well-known and kind person in Yangzhou before, how could he become so mean now? Not long ago, when we went to the temple to offer incense, the abbot told us to ask us to Find a few monks to take a look, maybe you can go back to the past!"

When Murong Zhi heard this, he said unceremoniously: "Those old monks would enjoy it, but they left this kind of thing to us, and they even gave Amitabha's forehead. I think it's all fake."

"You can't say a few words less, a good Jiange Pavilion Master has a mouth for nothing." Qin Mo laughed and pushed the man away, "You said that the abbot told you to find us, doesn't he know that at all?" Didn't help you?"

"Help, help. Now I feel like two people in one body. After a while..." The man hadn't finished speaking.His face changed suddenly, and he looked at the three people in front of him very seriously.

He said harshly: "What are the three of you who dare to appear in my house and ask questions? How could I believe the nonsense that the old monk in the temple said? But the housekeeper, why did you decide so casually? Don’t rush to see off the guests!”

When Murong Zhi saw that the man in front of him was about to blame, he was pulled back by Luo Yuan who was beside him, and whispered, "Don't make trouble."

Qin Mo smiled politely and said to people: "I'm really sorry to bother you, we will leave now."

After the steward and his master packed their luggage, they brought them into the inner courtyard, and said very apologetically: "Young masters, don't take offense, my master has become like this since he came back from the temple.

There are good times and bad times, and this temper is also unpredictable. If you don't mind, you can check it in this courtyard. This is a waist card. If you can cure my master's strange disease as soon as possible, we will be a generous gift Thanks a few. "

Qin Moxiao took the badge and nodded politely, "It's not necessary, we are all doing our own things, but there are some things that we need to ask the housekeeper.

The housekeeper, do you still remember the address of the temple you visited, as well as the design drawings of the mansion and the location of each room, please tell us briefly. "

The housekeeper thought about it carefully.Facing Qin Mo, he said with a smile: "That temple is outside Yangzhou City, a small temple twenty miles east of the city, I have never been to that temple before, and the master took us there.

Speaking of this matter is also strange, our master has never believed in gods and Buddhas, and the first thought of this illness was to visit the temple, but it may be because I was overwhelmed.

As for the layout of this home, there are also blueprints or picture albums in the study. I will ask someone to get them for the three of you. You might as well stay here tonight, so that you can treat my master's strange disease. "

The three of them were taken to the guest room by the butler, and stayed temporarily.

Murong Zhi looked at Qin Moxiao and said with some dissatisfaction, "I think that master has a bad temper in his bones. There is no such thing as a strange disease."

"Don't talk nonsense, this place is really weird." Qin Moxiao always had a feeling that he couldn't explain it.

"Senior brother is right, the man's sudden change of face just now does seem a bit bewitched." Luo Yuan also felt a little inappropriate.

"Bewitched, then I'll go and read Buddhist scriptures to him now, so we won't have to worry about it."

Qin Mo laughed at Luo Yuan and ignored him, just looked down at the layout of the courtyard in his hands, there was nothing wrong with the layout of the mansion, it didn't look like someone had set up an array to confuse him.

But the woman was a little strange just now, why not start with that woman first, Qin Moxiao put down the things in his hands, and said to the two of them: "I always feel that we seem to have overlooked something?"

Murong Zhi saw the suspicious look of these two people, and interrupted their words, "Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to chat with you two here, I'll go to the temple outside the city first, and see what the old abbot is doing. What method did he use to turn people into what they are now, sometimes sober and sometimes irritable. You didn't investigate in this courtyard, did you?"

Before the two of them could reply, they saw him turn over and fly out of the city with Yujian.

The two looked at each other helplessly and smiled, inquired with the housekeeper, and went to the woman's room just now. The woman in the room seemed to have known that the two were coming, prepared tea, and waited for the two of them in the middle of the room. .

The woman was well dressed, but she didn't look like someone from Yangzhou City, she said politely: "You two, please sit down, the young lady's name is Tang Lingyao, she is the aunt of my master's new wife.

I had a quick meeting in the courtyard just now, and I thought that the two young masters must have come because of our master's illness, so I prepared refreshments and waited for the two of you in the room. "

Before Qin Moxiao opened his mouth, he heard Tang Lingyao continue to say: "Actually, I know what the two young masters want to ask, but what I can tell you is that there is indeed something unclean in this mansion. As for what it is, I don't know." And know.

The two of you should be able to see that I am not a woman in Yangzhou City. I came back from other places with the master, and the housekeepers all suspected that I used some kind of vicious tricks to seduce the master, making him so crazy that he only listened to me.

But I really have never done this before, and I asked the two monks to return my innocence. "

Listening to these words, Qin Moxiao felt that there were a lot of inappropriate things, "Madam, you just said that there are unclean things in this mansion. Could it be that Madam has seen it with her own eyes?"

Tang Lingyao waved to the maid next to her, and handed them a box, "Although I haven't been here for a long time, there is always a rumor among these servants and maids.

It is said that once in this mansion, an aunt died for no reason. She was very beautiful and graceful. Whenever a newcomer came to this mansion, she would plot against her, and there would often be some strange things in the room.

I also went to check it out of curiosity. I found this thing under my bed. I saw it with my master in private. The master said it was something evil and asked me to get rid of it as soon as possible.

But I wanted to throw it away at first, but I found that it would come back. I put it in the temple and asked the monks to chant sutras, but I found that leaving this thing, the master's temperament became even more irritable.

I just kept it secretly and put it in this box. To be honest, I was the one who asked the housekeeper to find a monk, so you two don't have to be so wary of me. "

The two opened the box and took a closer look at the things in the box. It was a puppet doll. This kind of thing would really make people who practiced puppetry let it go, even willing to die.

Luo Yuan asked: "This thing was only found under the girl's bed, but has it been seen elsewhere?"

Tang Lingyao thought for a while, looked at her maid, then shook her head slightly, and explained to the two of them: "I told you just now that I am not from Yangzhou, and it has only been a few months since I came to this mansion. time.

When I first came, there were other aunts in this mansion, and the wife was in charge of the family affairs, so I just stayed in my yard, and I didn't go to other places much.

In addition, I was born as a singer, these aunts and wives didn't want to see me, but for some reason, after the master came back that day, he drove all the aunts and wives out, and I couldn't stop them.Although I want the master to pay more attention to me.

But I don’t want to spoil my concubine and kill my wife. After the wives and aunts left, the master’s mood became more stable. Until the master had some business problems a few days ago, his temper became weird again up.

I just found it strange, so I asked the housekeeper to find a few people, but there are not many people living in this mansion now, if you two really want to find this thing, I will ask the housekeeper to help you find it together. "

After talking, Tang Lingyao called the butler. A group of people searched the house for a long time, and found four or five puppet dolls. Most of them were placed in the courtyard of the mansion, not some hidden place.

The housekeeper looked at the puppet dolls and felt very strange. They usually clean up, but they will clean up every place in the yard. He has no reason not to know these things in the mansion.

"The two young masters are strange. I usually check up and down the mansion. I have never found out if they are lazy. If you didn't come here today, we must not have found this thing."

"Nothing on weekdays, we found them one by one after we came here." Luo Yuan muttered to the side.

Listening to his words, Qin Moxiao suddenly thought of something, and asked the housekeeper, "I wonder if it's the servants in the mansion, what is the ratio of men and women? Are there more servants or more maids?"

The housekeeper calculated after a while and replied: "Now there are not enough maids, and they were all taken away by several wives and aunts, and went to the village in the countryside. Now the maids in the mansion are not only the kitchen staff, but also the aunts. Yes, there is not much left."

When the two heard this, they each had their own suspicions in their hearts, but Murong Zhi hadn't come back yet, so they could only continue to investigate.

Seongdong Temple

After Murong Zhi arrived, he checked the people in the temple, but in the meditation room at the back, he found a puppet doll placed under the bed of the abbot of the temple.

Full of confidence, Murong Zhi took the puppet doll back to the rich merchant, saw the two of them having dinner, kicked the door in, and said dissatisfiedly: "You two are not going too far.

I'm helping you search for evidence outside, but you two are here behind my back and eating hay, it's too much. "

Qin Moxiao pulled the man to sit down, "Isn't this reserved for you, hurry up and talk about what you can gain from the temple."

"I have gained something in the temple, how about you?"

As Murong Zhi spoke, he looked at Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan threw the puppet doll in front of him, then bowed his head to eat.
