Seeing that the villagers were panicked, Han Yi ran to them in a hurry and explained. After relaxing them, he told the crowd to scatter. Only three strong villagers were left, in case that the ugly man went crazy suddenly.

Yang Ning told Han Yi to go back home and bring a bowl full of rice and dishes. After Han Yi gave him the rice bowl, the ugly man stepped back immediately and stared at the village head, with hostility in his eyes, refusing to accept the bowl and chopsticks.

Yang Ning received the bowl and chopsticks from Han Yi and smiled gently. “You are hungry. This is food. If you eat enough, you won’t be hungry.”

It was surprising that the ugly man felt hostility toward Han Yi and the others, but hearing Yang Ning’s voice, he had less hostility even though he was still cautious.

Yang Ning moved closer to him, and the latter didn’t step back to dodge as he did to avoid Han Yi but received the bowl. However, he didn’t want the

    Yang Ning was stunned, and Gu Qinghan asked with a frown, “What? Why can’t we see the chief steward?” She had once stayed in the old house for several days. With a good memory, she remembered this old man who opened the gate, but she didn’t know his name.The old man answered, “The chief steward Qi Hong you mentioned has left the old house long ago, so you won’t see him.”Gu Qinghan was extremely surprised and asked involuntarily, “Qi Hong is not here? How is it possible? Isn’t he in charge of the old house all the time?” Before she entered the gate, she found that the old house was really unusual.“Cut the crap. Open the gate and let us in.” Yang Ning reached out his hand, trying to push the gate, but the old man stopped him. “I advise you to leave as early as possible. If the people in the house know that you masquerade as the heir of Marquis of Honor, you can’t leave even though you want to.”Yang Ning was astonished and wondere

    Zhao Yuan looked serious. As soon as he said that, Gu Qinghan and Yang Ning turned pale, and Gu Qinghan even stood up suddenly, asking, “What did you say? The tax has been sent?”Zhao Yuan answered solemnly, “We sent it at the end of September, and it’s Master Cheng… It’s Steward Qi who arranged it personally. In order to ensure the silver’s safety, they did like before and specially went to Jingzhou City to ask the governor, who dispatched more than ten soldiers to escort it all the way.”Yang Ning thought it was getting more complicated and stood up, too. “The marquis’ mansion didn’t receive the tax silver, so Aunt and I came to Jiangling in person to check what happened.”“How is it possible?” Zhao Yuan was shocked. “Steward Qi wanted to escort it personally, but he had something to do and couldn’t go, so he told Cui to send. Cui has been to the capital and is familiar with the way. Moreover, after they came back, they said that the silver h

    Yang Ning thought Wei Dong was just playing mysterious and laughed. “What nonsense are you talking about? If there is a ghost in this house, do you dare to live here?”Wei Dong explained, “The ghost is only in this courtyard. As long as we don’t get close to it, there is nothing wrong.”“What happened to the two dead people you mentioned?” Yang Ning was curious. “Since you said there is a ghost in this courtyard, did somebody see it?”Wei Dong glanced at that courtyard and replied in a low voice, “In fact, all people in the old house know it. They know that there is a ghost and often hear some sounds.”“Sounds?” Yang Ning furrowed his brows. “What sounds?”Wei Dong answered, “Sounds of the vertical bamboo flute. The sounds come from the courtyard once or twice every year and it would play half a night. What’s more, it would disappear after lasting two or three nights every time. The sounds of the vertical flute are cre

    “Did you go there?” Gu Qinghan frowned. “That’s not a good place. Don’t go there in the future.”It appeared that Gu Qinghan also knew that courtyard with a ghost. Of course, Yang Ning wouldn’t give up this subject. He asked, “Why? Because there is a ghost?”Gu Qinghan responded, “Don’t talk nonsense. Don’t listen to their bullshit. That is a deserted courtyard. What ghost? Just don’t get close to it in the future.”Yang Ning moved his chair forward and laughed. “Aunt, if it is just a deserted courtyard, why did you tell me not to go there? I find that the courtyard is surrounded by wild grass and withered vines, and we should tell somebody to clean it up. Although we don’t live here, it’s our old house after all, and we can’t ignore it.”Gu Qinghan seemed unwilling to talk about it, and Yang Ning begged, “If you don’t tell me, I will think about it all the time. Aunt, just do me a favor and tell me.”Seeing his expres

    As they agreed, Qi Feng led five guards to the old house of the Qi family at dusk. There were many rooms in the house, so their accommodation was no problem at all.Yang Ning had planned to tell Qi Feng to go to Jingzhou City and find the governor of Jiangling, inquiring about the escort of the tax silver in the name of the heir of the Marquis of Honor, to check if Jingzhou City really sent soldiers to protect the silver, but it was getting dark, so he told Qi Feng to set out next morning.Although Qi Feng arrived on time, Qi Cheng didn’t return on schedule.Gu Qinghan stayed in the accountant’s office till dusk and was exhausted. She checked the tax in recent three years carefully but didn’t find anything wrong.Gu Qinghan was clear that so many accounts were finished in detail, which couldn’t be completed in two or three months. Otherwise it couldn’t have nothing amiss. If these accounts were false, it meant that since three year

    Yang Ning pondered for a while and then carefully packed the long vertical flute with the black silk fabric before putting it in the drawer of the dressing table. Then he went to the opposite room.He thought there might be something in this room. After entering, he found that it was empty, with only a plank in the corner and a pile of hay next to it.He walked over and finally found that in the corner there were two brush pens and an inkstone. The ink in the container was congealed. He picked it up and found it was a common container, and the ink in it was as hard as a stone.He was astonished and thought that a woman lived here. Were the brush pens and the inkstone left by that woman?He looked around and suddenly found there was a piece of yellow paper on the floor. He picked it up and had a look. The paper was broken, but it seemed to be a picture on it. The paper was incomplete, so he couldn’t see clearly what was in the pictu

    Yang Ning was absorbed in the swordsmanship in the dozens of pictures for a whole night and practiced in person from time to time. He didn’t realize that it was already dawn.He knew that if somebody found that he sneaked into the courtyard, even though he was the heir of the Marquis of Honor, it was not a good thing. After all, the old marquis set the rule when he was alive and nobody was allowed to enter that courtyard. Yang Ning didn’t give a lead but entered it secretly and broke the rule, so it would inevitably make people criticize him.He arranged the pictures and put them away under his arm, thinking that the old paper had been thrown there for many years and nobody found it, so nobody would care after he took it away.He jumped over the wall and got out of the courtyard. Then he went back to the room arranged for him and found some silk fabric to pack the pictures before putting them under the bed. As soon as he finished everything, he

    Yang Ning had a bad feeling since he entered the courtyard. When he kicked the room door open, he hoped that he guessed wrong. Then he came into the room and looked around, to find that Gu Qinghan was not inside.This room was not big and every corner could be seen. The quilt was put aside on the bed and it was obvious that there was nobody in it.Although Gu Qinghan was not here, her clothes were beside the bed. Yang Ning looked serious and walked over quickly, reaching out his hand to touch the quilt. It was cold, which meant that Gu Qinghan had left the room long ago.He looked back and found the two maids standing at the door. Seeing that Gu Qinghan was not in the room, they both looked surprised and scared.“I ask you. Did the third lady wear these clothes last night?” Yang Ning pointed at those clothes.A maid replied in a hurry, “Last night we served her when she took a bath and got changed. She changed into the

    Several chiefs looked at each other, and one said loudly, "Dandu Bone, you have already killed the Great Miao King, do you want to make another mistake? If you hurt a single hair of Rangchadulu's head, we will definitely break your body into pieces."Dandu Bone said sternly,"Just based on Langchadulu's words, you put the blame on my Dandu Bone's head? You are all the chiefs of the villages, do you believe Langchadulu's words so easily?"Langchadulu exclaimed, "The evidence is overwhelming, could it be that I am falsely accusing you? Dandu Bone, you are so guilty that you should commit suicide in public to give everyone an explanation." Feeling the knife on the neck slightly tightened, the body could not help but tense up, and there was a trace of fear in his heart."I am Yifu of Black Rock Cave, the murder of the Great Miao King was all a trap set by Langchadulu." Seeing the blackness of the surrounding people and the flashes of swords, Yifu shouted, "It was Langch

    The three of them were naturally unable to sleep this night, and by the next day, no one could be seen coming over for the entire day.The Prisoner Wolf Wall is quite a distance from the fortress, but despite this, the three of them heard the sound of weeping coming from the fortress, and in their hearts, they all knew that the news of the murder of the Great Miao King had spread throughout the fortress.The weeping continued for a whole day, and Dandu Bone could hardly help himself, and cried twice when he thought of the murdered King of the Great Hmong.This day not only no one to come over to the arraignment, and even the food delivery is not seen to come over, until after dark, only to see Chegu with another guard carrying a food basket to come over.Chegu first sent the meal between the gaps in the iron bars within Dandu Bone's stone prison, then Yifu, and finally Qi Ning's stone prison.Seeing that the meal was also still quite hearty, Qi Ning lau

    At Qi Ning's words, Yi Fu suddenly came to a realization, her heart was appalled, and she said, "Langchadulu wanted to send out troops, but the Great Miao King and Dandu Bone didn't agree and insisted on negotiating, so Langchadulu set up a trap, killed the Great Miao King, and framed us and Dandu Bone for the crime.""That's my guess." Qi Ning sighed, "If my guess is correct, then we shouldn't survive a day. Now that Dandu Bone is imprisoned here and the Great Miao King has been killed, Langchadulu has become the number one person in Upper Water Cave, and it's only right that he can call the shots." With a hefty smile, he said, "The three of us are the ones he is most uneasy about right now, as long as we are dead, and the Great Hmong King is killed there will be someone to take the blame for him, and he will have nothing to worry about anymore."Dandu Bone clenched his fist and snapped, "If the Great Miao King was really killed by him, I ...

    Dandu Bone's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "What did you say?""Dandu Bone, I heard that you have known these two for a long time?" Rangchadulu gripped the cold blade in his hand, "When you were at the bottom of the mountain, I heard that you were prepared to bring them up the mountain without the Great Miao King's orders?"Dandu Bone's face changed at first, and he snapped, "Rangchadulu, what do you mean by that?"Langchadulu seemed to still have some scruples about Dandu Bone, took two steps back and said loudly, "What do I mean, don't you understand? What exactly is the origin of these two people, you have to give us an explanation."At this time there was a crowd of more than ten people in the room, and all of them looked at Dandu Bone when they heard Rangchadulu say this.Dandu Bone clenched his fist and said, "That's right, I met them on my way back and .... they have saved my life.""It's good that you admit it."

    Langchadulu's voice was mournful, Eve's expression changed dramatically, and Qi Ning's face sank.The Miao people who followed Rangchadulu over were all shocked, and two of them had already snatched into the house, while Yifu had already followed into the house as well.Qi Ning followed behind Yi Fu and went in, only to see that there was a rattan chair at the corner of the house, the Great Miao King was sitting on top of the rattan chair, his back leaning against the rattan chair, but his head was drooping down on his chest, the house was filled with a smell of blood, the light of the oil lamps flickered, and Rangchadulu knelt down at the feet of the Great Miao King, holding the Great Miao King's hand, his complexion was bleak.Qi Ning's expression was cold, by the light of the lamp, but he had also seen clearly that in the chest of the Great Miao King, a blood stain, and the blood was flowing downward, obviously just killed soon.What shocked Qi Ning was no

    Dandu Bone said in a deep voice, "Rangchadulu, for so many years, we Miao people have been living in harmony with the Han people, do you know what the consequences would be if we were to call in the troops from all the caves?"Langchadulu asked rhetorically, "And do you know what will happen if we are indifferent and turn a blind eye to the situation in the Black Rock Cave?" He took a step forward and said, "Our mission at Upper Water Cave is to stand up for the Miao people when they are in danger. Now that we all know that the Black Rock Cave is suffering from injustice, yet we sit back and do nothing, won't the Miao Family's 72 caves be chilled?""Not bad, Great Miao King, Black Rock Cave Eve has already told us the truth of the matter, this is obviously a trap set by the government for Black Rock Cave, they are so insidious, do we have to wait until Black Rock Cave has been killed before we react?"
