Chapter 30 An embroidered handkerchief

Shen Lingxi and Mu Huaian returned to Fu'an Hall. The body of the man in black and the blood stains in the courtyard had long been cleaned up, and there was no trace of the soul of the man in black.

Killers like them live a precarious life, licking blood from the edge of a knife, and have long been mentally prepared for death.

Once you die and become a ghost, if you accept the fact, the soul will soon dissipate and be reincarnated.

The premise is that you don't find out that there are people like Shen Lingxi in this world who can see the souls of the dead.

If discovered, some people would not be willing to reincarnate early, hoping that through Shen Lingxi, they could once again connect with this world.

In front of her, they tried their best to use all kinds of methods, including but not limited to intimidation, financial inducement, begging for mercy, etc. They tried their best just to make Shen Lingxi, a living person, be driven by them.

For example, this one in front of me——

Waiting for Shen Lingxi at the entrance of Fu'an Hall early in the morning was the soul of the dead magpie.

After death, the magpie really dresses like a maid and behaves like a master.

As soon as he saw Shen Lingxi, he stepped forward and sneered, "Shen Lingxi, you are so capable. You could guess that a killer would come to kill Zhao Afeng, and even let people kill them all. I really underestimated you. Do you think you are? Will Zhao Afeng be safe in this way? Haha, I'm not afraid to tell you that if we can block yesterday, if we can't block it in the future, she will have to die."

Shen Lingxi frowned, glanced across the magpie's face, turned to Mu Huaian and said: "The other party sent so many people to kill Zhao Afeng last night, but if they didn't succeed, they will definitely have a follow-up move. Please ask Shaoqing to find one." Temporarily hide the three of them in a suitable place, and then let them out until the truth comes to light."

Mu Huaian agreed, turned around and ordered people to prepare.

Shen Lingxi went directly to the mourning hall to find Zhao Afeng, told her about the assassination last night, and discussed with her, "Let's pick an auspicious time today to bury Liu Si, so that we can leave as soon as possible."

From beginning to end, I never even looked at the magpie.

Magpie didn't expect that with just one sentence, Shen Lingxi immediately decided to hide Zhao Afeng. If he accidentally said something else, wouldn't it mean that he was sending news to Shen Lingxi again.

She closed her mouth tightly and stared at Shen Lingxi with a pair of resentful eyes.

No matter where Shen Lingxi goes, she follows him.

It was the third day of Yao Niang's wedding. Shen Yuyao suddenly became angry for some reason and brought several housekeepers from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion who were good at weddings to help with the affairs.

Shen Lingxi felt happy and relaxed with them sharing her worries for free.

Although Shen Yuyao no longer rolled up her sleeves to give porridge, she still patrolled around in front of people without touching her feet.

The poor people who met her all praised her as a "living Bodhisattva" with a beautiful person and a kind heart.

Hui Zhilan has a gentle heart, and is gentle and generous... All kinds of praises poured onto Shen Yuyao's head, which made her extremely helpful.

Sometimes, things are just like that.

The deceased has already gone to the west, and does not care about the empty fame after death.

But living people still need to use this to earn a face and glory for themselves in front of others.

Shen Lingxi had seen too many cases where his biological parents didn't care about them while they were alive, but after their death, they calculated their inheritance, knelt in front of the mourning hall, screamed and cried, and behaved like filial sons and grandsons.

Shen Yuyao is nothing like this.

At least he spent money and did good deeds.

Shen Lingxi asked Miaozhen Nu Guan to count it as an auspicious moment, so she, A Xiang, Huo Huo and Zhuang Sheng, as well as several Kun Taoists from Jinxian Temple, accompanied Liu Si's family to bury Liu Si's body. burial.

Because of that night of farewell, although the Liu family was grieving, they were not as sad as before. In the end, it was a kind of consolation.

After the ceremony was over and the last handful of loess fell on the grave, Liu Si hurried back from the capital.

After another burst of sadness, when everyone left, only Shen Lingxi was left in front of the grave. Liu Si straightened his expression, glanced at the magpie, and said to Shen Lingxi: "Girl, when I went back home, I remembered something, or It has something to do with my death."

"Four months ago, I was on duty in the warehouse. The second master was ordered by my ancestors to take away a ball fan given by the emperor. The ball fan was packed in a brocade box. When I took it, I accidentally tripped and lost the brocade. The box was dropped. Who would have thought that what fell out of the box was not a fan, but a cut embroidered handkerchief. I thought I had made a mistake, so I thought about looking through the warehouse list, but the second master said that he had not done it. Wrong, this is what I wanted, so I put the embroidered handkerchief into a brocade box and took it away."

The magpie's pupils were slightly dilated, its back straightened, and it tried its best to keep its face calm.

But Shen Lingxi's expression changed.

"What kind of embroidered handkerchief is it? What's embroidered on it, have you seen it?" His tone was unusually urgent.

Liu Si recalled, "It seemed to be cut from something. It was only a palm-sized piece, with a white background and embroidered landscapes on it."

He paused and then added, "By the way, the two sides are different. One side is mountains and the other side is water."

Shen Lingxi silently clenched her palms.

She was very familiar with this embroidery picture.

The old man of the Shen family had one piece, but unexpectedly the Xuanping Hou Mansion also had one.

I don’t know if the piece of Xuanping Hou Mansion is the same as the piece lost by the Shen family...

Seeing that she was silent, Liu Si continued: "The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. After all, this thing didn't match the list in the warehouse. If the master blamed it, it would be no small matter. After thinking about it, I took the matter to the next level. Tell Ah Feng that when she is combing her hair, she can find a chance to talk to her ancestors."

"A-Feng has the best relationship with Magpie. Instead of relying on her ancestors, she asked Magpie to make her decision. Magpie comforted her and put the matter aside."

Having said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Magpie again and asked: "Magpie, do you think it is because of this that you want to kill me? Is your mistress the second master?"

"Bah! You're talking nonsense!" Magpie spat at him, pretending to be stupid, "What a round fan and embroidered handkerchief. After you died, did your brain also break? I don't understand what you are talking about at all, and I don't remember it at all. "Don't talk nonsense here. The second master and I are innocent. Don't try to ruin my reputation!"

After all, this tone was much weaker than when she heard Shen Lingxi say that she had an affair with Shen Ji.

He didn't even jump in anger.

To deny it too quickly is to admit it in disguise.

After a whole day, Shen Lingxi finally looked at her for once.

Shen Lingxi endured it, but still couldn't hold it back. For the first time, she said sarcastic words to a dead soul: "You have lost all your brains, what do you want to do?"

Magpie: "The dead are great, Shen Lingxi, you are not afraid of divine punishment."

"You are not afraid, so what should I be afraid of?" Shen Lingxi sneered, "When I return home and find out about Mr. Shen Er, how much you protect me today will mean how much you will hate me tomorrow. This is the real punishment from heaven. ."

After saying that, he ignored her and said to Liu Si: "Please go back and keep an eye on Mr. Shen Er to find the whereabouts of the embroidered handkerchief. After I bury Yao Niang and the results are found in Dali Temple, I will go back I will meet you at the mansion."

Liu Si bowed to her and said, "Ah Feng and the others will leave it to the girl."
