Xiao Tao's words caught me off guard. The new lady she said must have pointed to was Zhang Lan.

I looked at the trembling timid girl in front of me with curiosity: "How do you know?"

Xiaotao said cautiously: "I saw it with my own eyes."

I was slightly stunned, and I heard him continue, "On the day when the master of my hometown died, Miss Xiao Ai was also sick and was so frustrated that I had no appetite. So I went to the kitchen to cut fruit for her. As a result, I saw the new lady put some things in the master of my hometown's soup..."

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Xiao Tao nodded quickly when he heard my question. I asked her again: "Have you told others about this?"

"No!" Xiaotao pinched the corner of his clothes tightly: "I dare not say it."

"Okay, I know this, I will continue to investigate. It's just for your own safety, it's best not to mention it to anyone." Although I didn't understand it very clearly, Xiao Tao seemed to understand it immediately: "I understand, Mr. Zhang, you are such a good person."

This made me face the carefree little girl in front of me for the first time. The days of living under someone else made her learn to protect herself too early. Maybe I didn’t need to remind her that she knew how to do what to do to survive in this cold family.

I was about to say something more, but Xiaotao actually said again: "I know one more thing..."

I waited quietly for her to speak without interrupting her.

Xiaotao said: "I also know that the new wife and Miss Xiao Ai's doctor have an affair. I had secretly heard the conversation they wanted to elope."

"Doctor? What doctor?" I asked in confusion.

Xiao Tao said: "Because Miss Xiao Ai cannot walk down the ground, there will be a private doctor coming to Leng's house to check on Miss Xiao Ai's health every week. We all call him Dr. Tang."

Xiaotao's words obviously helped me the most at ease, but they also made me feel a little doubtful. Since Xiaotao knows everything, why don't she explain it to the people inside the Leng family, but instead tell me an outsider?

Xiaotao stayed for a moment before saying goodbye to me, opened the door and walked out. I looked at her thin back, and it was the first time in my life that I couldn't understand people's hearts.

I lay down early that night. As midnight approached, I keenly noticed that there were other existences in the room besides me. Could it be that the sand ghost from Yarkand City came? I did not move, but closed my eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Accompanied by a rustling sound, something quickly climbed to the edge of my bed. Just as it raised its hand high and wanted to insert the dagger in its hand, I turned over and avoided it neatly. With the moonlight, there was a female ghost in red standing by the bedside. She was wet all over, looking like a drowning ghost.

Seeing that I avoided her attack, she did not escape, but rushed towards her again.

I avoided it easily again and said coldly: "My patience is limited. If you dare to be arrogant, I will beat you up to death." As I said that, I did not forget to show the Yongling Ring on my finger.

The powerful spiritual power scared the female ghost. It took a few steps back but still refused to leave. It seemed that the person who ordered it to assassinate me must use something to threaten her, making her willing to risk her death and achieve her goal.

I snorted: "Go back and convey a sentence to your master. Only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you be invincible. Before you start, it is best to test your opponent's strength. Send a little ghost king like you. Would you underestimate my Zhang Jiulin's ability?"

The female ghost gritted her teeth and finally turned around and left.

I saw a string of wet footprints leaving on the floor, and I couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that my arrival made the Leng family, which was already undercurrent, make bigger waves, and some people were already impatient to attack me.

When I woke up the next day, Li Mazi came over and asked me: "Brother, nothing happened last night, right? I always think it's strange here..."

I answered very easily: "No, what can happen?"

As usual, I had breakfast in the room, Li Mazi and I came downstairs for a walk. I saw Leng Rulei sitting on the sofa with a calm face in the living room. When I saw Li Mazi and I, I glared at us fiercely.

Of course I didn't care, but Li Mazi said loudly: "The world has always been rumored that the Leng family is so terrible. I think this is the case. I don't know how to ask when I see the guests. The family's upbringing is probably eaten by dogs."

Leng Rulei jumped up like a furious cat: "Don't you go shit! What kind of guest are you? If my dad hadn't spoken, I'd have beaten you out."

Li Mazi continued to quarrel with him: "Battle? Are you our opponent? Just your three-legged cat kung fu. If the Zhang family didn't let the water out yesterday, it would have been a direct result."

Leng Rulei's eyes were red and he was about to pounce on him and fight desperately when he saw an aunt in Xinjiang rushing into the living room, pale and panic saying something in Uyghur.

Leng Rulei's face changed: "What did you say? Some servants died?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was not in the mood to talk to Li Mazi again, and hurriedly followed the Xinjiang aunt out.

Li Mazi and I exchanged glances and followed tacitly.

The Leng family has a strict hierarchy, so the place where the servants live is still some distance away from the main house, and the house is built very ordinary. At this moment, the only three servants left are surrounded in front of a house, with a look of worry and fear on their faces.

Leng Rulei shouted, "What are you quarreling? Don't have to do anything anymore? Get out of here!"

People have learned about the hot temper of this young master of the Leng family. He dared not fight him at this moment. He ran aside one by one, avoiding snakes and scorpions. Leng Rulei rushed to the door, but he instinctively dodged backwards. If Li Mazi and I had not dodged in time, we would have been knocked down by him.

Leng Rulei's face looked extremely ugly, and he looked at the scene in the room with an incredible look.

I leaned to the door and saw a mummy-like corpse on the bed in the room. The green and yellow skin was tightly wrapped around the bones, like a vacuum bag that had been drained from the air. His eyes and mouth were wide open, as if he had seen something terrible at the last glance before his death, and some black bugs were flying outwards in his mouth. There were still many black sand footprints on the floor. When I thought of the scene I saw at Leng Rushuang, I immediately realized that this should be the cause of the sand ghost in Yerkang City.

I avoided Leng Rulei and walked into the room carefully. I felt a very strong fishy smell in the room. The walls in the room were bleeding, as if they were written with a number.
