Chapter 172 Unlucky Luck
"Even the rats hiding in the kitchen died one by one."
Hearing what Mr. Zhang said, He Gu and Tang Baotou looked at each other.
Isn't this the day when the three victims died?
Could it really be such a coincidence that the time when the murder occurred in Annan County was also the day when the house began to suffer misfortune?
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but shake his head as he recalled this period, his face full of helplessness and annoyance.
"If it were just these things, the old man and his family would be able to bear it, but in the past few days, three servants in our family have died violently and for no apparent reason."
"The old man was so frightened that he hurriedly reported it to the officials, but the officials came to investigate for several days and there was no explanation."
"These things are inherently evil. There are rumors among the servants in the family. Now that most people have been killed suddenly, most of them don't dare to ask for a living in my house."
"All the long-term and short-term workers have resigned and left. Now only the slaves who have signed the deed of sale are left."
After hearing all the story, He Gu twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, but finally suppressed his curiosity and said nothing, lest someone expose his identity and lose more than he loses.
His small movements naturally fell in Fan Ye's eyes.
Fan Ye took a leisurely sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Mr. Zhang and asked.
"You said that the government also examined the dead servants. What were the results of the examination?"
"Prefect You said that the three servants did not have any wounds on their bodies, and there were no signs of poisoning. They just died suddenly of cardiac arrest."
"I looked for their traitors and arrestees, and they all said that the servants were scared to death."
"Can……"
Speaking of this, the helplessness on the old man's face became even worse, and he said with some complaints, "Every day in my house is a pretty normal life, how can there be anything scary that can scare people to death?"
This statement also shows that Mr. Zhang does not agree with the results of the government and the prefect You, but he has no other way to investigate the case.
"If it had been any other day, I would have paid my servants and made haste."
"But in the past few months, weird things have been happening one after another. Now it seems that there must be an invisible evil in my house. If it is not removed as soon as possible, it may harm my family!"
"Now that you have thought of this, sir, why haven't you gotten rid of this evil spirit yet?"
Fan Ye took what Mr. Zhang said and glanced up, "If they had been eliminated earlier, the innocent lives of those three servants would have been saved."
Your place won't be as devilish as it is now.
These are what Fan Ye did not say. The development of this matter is more complicated than previously thought.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's really..."
With a low sigh, Mr. Zhang said in a low voice, "I once sent people to the mountains to invite eminent monks, but the young man I sent out was stopped by the magistrate Nayou after he found out."
"At the same time, he also sternly stopped me from sending people to find any more experts. That's why I delayed it again and again, and these innocent people died."
"You are not allowed by the prefect to ask someone to eliminate evil spirits? Why is this?"
Tang Baotou, who was on the side, was not as thoughtful as He Gu. Hearing this, he asked straightforwardly, "Even if this is a county under his jurisdiction, he can take care of the affairs of dead people. Who should be invited to do this in your house?"
How can he manage his personal affairs?"
"Master, you don't know something," said Mr. Zhang. "The old man's third daughter-in-law is the sister of You Zhifu."
Speaking of this, several people instantly understood the pain that Mr. Zhang was feeling.
"It's okay not to mention it..."
Mr. Zhang looked up at Fan Ye and He Gu and said eagerly as if he had grasped the last straw.
"Sir, two masters, since you are outside, you can see that my Zhang family is in trouble. You must be a master of great ability. Please help me, the Zhang family, and save the lives of my entire family!"
After saying that, Mr. Zhang stood up and knelt down to Fan Ye.
But Fan Ye grabbed his arm. He was so strong that he dragged the old man's whole body firmly, making it impossible for him to kneel down.
Although Fan Ye is not as powerful as Lu Chenyi in Taoism within Tianzong, his talent in fortune telling is indeed one of the best.
From the first time he saw Mr. Zhang, he felt that the old man's appearance was extremely inconsistent.
Generally speaking, the main reason for the mellow ancestry of the Zhang family is that there was a good man for ten generations, who blessed the Zhang family with a long-lasting gospel today.
As long as no one of the Zhang family's disciples commits many evil deeds, they will be able to maintain a rich family fortune for hundreds of years.
But once you take a closer look at Mr. Zhang's facial features, you can tell that he has lost his wife and children, was killed by villains, and suffered bloody disasters.
What's even more strange is that this old man actually had another death disaster in the past three months.
No matter how you look at it, the face in front of you is not a face blessed by good ancestors for ten generations.
Fan Ye was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he took Mr. Zhang out and looked at it carefully.
The light of ancestral protection that Mr. Zhang originally possessed has faded away, and it has obviously helped him and his descendants resolve many disasters.
This old man may not be able to escape the disaster of death within three months.
Fan Ye helped the person up and was about to speak when a small voice suddenly ran in from outside the door and immediately jumped on Mr. Zhang.
"grandfather."
He was a five-year-old little boy, and his sweet voice and coquettish manner put a smile on Mr. Zhang's sad face.
Fan Ye, who was on the side, couldn't help but frown tightly when he saw the black evil energy wrapped around the little boy's body.
When the little boy threw himself outside Mr. Zhang, this evil energy also rushed over the old man's body.
The ancestral blessing aura that protected the old man's body collided with the black energy, and then weakened a bit.
Fan Ye stared closely at the little boy's profile, trying to figure out something from his unclear face.
"Fan'er is good."
Mr. Zhang patted the little boy's head and said, "Grandpa is meeting distinguished guests. You go to the back garden to play for a while. Grandpa will come to accompany you when he is done with his work, okay?"
When Xiaofan heard this, his big eyes swept across the three unfamiliar adults, and finally landed on Fan Ye.
His beautiful eyes are full of doubts, why does this fairy-like uncle keep staring at me?
This look at each other shocked Fan Ye.
The little boy's luck was the strongest he had ever encountered in the hundreds of years he had been traveling on the mainland.
The situation in front of him was that he had been infected by Zhang Mansion's evil spirits for many days. If it were a normal time, this luck could be said to be able to change his destiny.
This case involving Annan County is by no means simple!
From Mr. Zhang's sincere words, it was not difficult for Fan Ye to see that he didn't understand the contract formation at all. Even if he was evil and evil, it was indeed because too many unusual things had happened, so he thought of this in a daze.
The monstrous fortune of the boy named Xiaofan in front of him indicates that everything that happens in Annan County and here is anything but ordinary.
There must be someone behind the scenes, but Fan Ye had no idea what the ultimate goal was.
