Hearing the woman's voice in the room, Butler Wei's face changed color and his pupils shrank. He turned around and asked the groom behind him: "She hasn't been out?"
"Master Cheng has ordered that without your instructions, no one can leave this courtyard or even go out through this door." The groom immediately said: "I have been guarding the house, and no one in the house dares to come to the stables."
Butler Wei exited the door, winked, and the groom stepped forward to lock the door again.
"Master Cheng, what happened?" The groom couldn't help but asked in a low voice when he saw that Butler Wei was in a daze and looked very ugly.
Butler Wei glanced at him and didn't say much. He just said: "Watch her carefully and don't let her leave the yard. The master said that if anyone knows that she is here, your life will not be saved."
The groom hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, no one else will know about this even if I'm killed."
Butler Wei didn't talk nonsense to him. He walked out of the stable, holding the scissors in his hand, and walked back to his yard along the way. The sound of insects and ants came from the flowerbed next to him, but it made Butler Wei's body hairy.
I felt someone was following me, but I didn't dare to look back, so I could only speed up my pace.
As he was about to return to his yard, he suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him, and a figure appeared a few steps in front of him. Butler Wei was startled. He thought he was a servant of the mansion, but when he saw the man dressed up, Butler Wei
Almost scared to death.
The figure was tall and thin, dressed in white linen clothes, with a high hat on his head. The scary thing was that his face was as white as paper, and he had a long tongue sticking out. He was clearly Bai Wuchang enshrined in the Hall of the King of Hell.
Butler Wei's legs felt weak, and he suddenly felt a heavy weight on the back of his head, as if something heavy had hit the back of his head. Butler Wei's vision went dark and he fell down.
I don’t know how long it took, but the housekeeper woke up and found himself in a dark room. He was leaning against the corner, and there was still some pain in the back of his head. He wanted to get up, but suddenly found that there was no pain all over his body.
He had no strength at all, his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't even stand up.
Butler Wei was horrified. He looked around and vaguely realized that he was in his own room. He remembered that he saw Bai Wuchang on the way back and suddenly fainted. He didn't know how he got back to his own room.
Butler Wei's whole body went cold when he thought of the terrifying Bai Wuchang.
At this time, I was unable to get up, and I didn't know why. I suddenly heard a sigh, and my body trembled. I looked around and found a figure standing in the corner of the room. The whole body was white. The room was quite dark, and I couldn't see it for a moment.
Before he could see the person's appearance clearly, he heard a sigh coming from his side. He turned his head and looked over, only to find a figure standing in the other corner, but that figure was dressed in black. In this dark room, if
If you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.
"You...who are you?" Butler Wei almost choked.
But he saw the black figure walking forward, but Butler Wei could vaguely see clearly that the man's face was as dark as ink, and he actually held an iron chain in his hand. When he walked over, the iron chain made a clanging sound.
Voice.
"There is a girl Cuilian in the Wei Mansion. Her soul has returned to the underworld, and she is constantly complaining." The voice of the white shadow in the corner is cold: "The King of Hell has checked the book of life and death. Her life span has not been exhausted, and she should not have reported to the underworld. She is indeed unjust. She is unjust.
After he died, the King of Hell took pity on me and asked my brother to take the soul of the culprit to the underworld for interrogation."
Butler Wei said in shock: "Are you black and white and impermanent?"
There is a Son of Heaven in the human world and a King of Hell in the underworld. This is a folk saying.
Although no one knows whether it is really under the control of the King of Hell after death, most people still firmly believe in this.
There is a soul-binding messenger under the throne of Hell, which is black and white and impermanent. Butler Wei naturally knows this, but he never imagined that he could see the impermanent ghost in hell.
"You are just a soul now." Bai Wuchang said: "If we lock you, we can take you to the underworld. If you are related to Lian Cui's injustice, you will not be able to come back."
Butler Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he understood why his whole body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. It turned out that he was just a soul.
He thought that he fainted on the way back, that is to say, his body was still outside the yard, but his soul returned to the house.
Hei Wuchang raised his arm, and the iron chain rattled, as if he was going to lock up Butler Wei. Butler Wei was shocked and said hurriedly: "Don't...Grandpa Wuchang, I was wronged, I don't want to go to the underworld."
, please forgive me, two grandfathers."
"The King of Hell has summoned you. It's not that you won't go if you don't want to go." Bai Wuchang said coldly: "Does Lian Cui's death have nothing to do with you? You can't even try to hide it from us. Everything you did is clearly recorded in the Book of Life and Death.
Everything you did in the mortal world will be recorded in the life and death book."
Hei Wuchang said nothing, and the chain was already wrapped around Butler Wei's neck.
Butler Wei lost his mind and lost his voice: "I was ordered by others. Grandpas, I...I also had no choice."
"How forced?" Bai Wuchang asked.
Butler Wei said in a trembling voice: "Yes...it's our master, he ordered me to do it."
"Now that things have happened, you are still dragging others?" Hei Wuchang's voice was hoarse: "Today you must go to the underworld with us."
"No, I didn't hold on." Butler Wei felt the chain tightening and was so frightened that he was out of his wits: "It's really our master. Cuilian's death was arranged by our master from the beginning to the end."
Hei Wuchang snorted coldly and said: "How does he arrange it? You should make it clear."
Butler Wei hesitated a little, and Bai Wuchang said coldly: "Brother, take him to the underworld, he will tell you anything."
"I won't go to the underworld, I won't go to the underworld." Butler Wei said anxiously: "The master ordered me to break the vase that Madam liked, and then framed Lian Cui. Madam only thought that it was Lian Cui who broke the vase, so she cursed a few times.
, Lian Cui did not dare to argue, she was a little aggrieved, but she would not commit suicide because of it. The purpose of the master asking me to frame Lian Cui for breaking the vase was to give Lian Cui a reason to commit suicide by throwing herself into a well, so that people would think that Lian Cui was because of
He threw himself into a well after breaking a vase and being scolded by his wife."
Black and White Wuchang didn't speak, and the room was filled with gloom and gloom.
Housekeeper Wei was weak all over, but still had the strength to speak. For fear of being detained by the ghost of impermanence, he continued: "Two days later, I secretly told Lian Cui to go to the west backyard in the middle of the night, saying that there was something for her to do, and I also told her
She must not mention this to anyone."
"You lured her to the well?"
"Yes." Butler Wei's face turned pale: "I didn't dare not do what the master asked me to do. Since I asked Lian Cui to go to the west backyard in the middle of the night, she didn't dare not go. That night, I waited for her in the west backyard and lied to her.
When he got to the well, he pushed her down."
"Did you push her into the well?" Hei Wuchang said coldly.
Butler Wei said: "This matter was planned by me from the beginning to the end. From breaking the vase to pushing her into the well, I had planned it beforehand. I just followed your instructions. Even the well belongs to me."
Choose. There are two wells in the house. There is one in the kitchen in the east backyard. It is very close to Lian Cui's residence. But there are people living in the kitchen. If you start there, you will be seen. There are no wells in the west backyard at night.
People will pass by. If I trick her into going over and push her into the well, no one will know about it. They will only think that she was scolded by the wife and felt aggrieved before throwing herself into the well."
Hei Wuchang sighed: "A young girl is killed by you like this, you are really capable of doing it."
"If I don't do it, I won't be able to spare my life." Butler Wei begged: "There is always a wrongdoer and a debtor. Although I was the one who pushed Lian Cui into the well, it was the master who really wanted to kill Lian Cui." He said bitterly.
: "The master deliberately asked me to do it after he left Beijing, just to prevent people from suspecting him."
"What good will it do to him to kill Lian Cui?" Bai Wuchang asked.
Butler Wei said: "Killing Lian Cui is not the purpose, but scaring Madam to death is. The master knows that Madam is timid, and if he wants to kill Madam, any other method will leave traces. Madam's brother is a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he is in the court.
He is very well-connected. If his sister dies in an unknown way, Uncle Song will definitely not let it go. Only if he is scared to death will he not find any traces. The master spent a lot of time to come up with this method. A year ago
In fact, we have already started planning.”
"How to scare his wife to death?"
"Lian Cui is dead, and everyone knows that he threw himself into the well because he was wronged by his wife. Therefore, once Lian Cui's resentful spirit appears, the lady will definitely think that Lian Cui's ghost is still alive and wants to seek her life.
"Cold sweat broke out on Butler Wei's forehead: "Lian Cui died by throwing herself into a well, and she was a water ghost, so every time the evil spirits appear when it rains, my wife will believe it even more. The master has planned every detail, and everyone believes it.
The Wei family is really haunted, and everyone believes that the ghost wants to take my wife’s life.”
Hei Wuchang's eyes were like daggers, and he said in a cold voice: "Are you doing this alone?"
"No, no." Butler Wei said hurriedly: "Several people in the mansion are involved in this matter. The master has made careful plans beforehand, and the people involved in this matter are also carefully selected by the master."
Black and white Wuchang looked at each other, and Bai Wuchang asked: "Who else is there besides you? It just so happened that we were all taken to the underworld for interrogation."
Butler Wei begged sadly: "Both grandpas, I have confessed. The culprit of this matter is our master Wei Bi. If you want to arrest his soul, just arrest him. I beg you to spare my life."
"Tell me, who else are there?"
"And... there is also Madam's personal maid Hanxiang." Housekeeper Wei said: "Hanxiang was bought by the Master a year ago to serve Madam. She is young, and the Master gave her a sum of money. She
I dare not disobey. In addition, the groom in the mansion was also called by the master from his hometown in Guangling a year ago, and he is very reliable."
"How did the groom get involved in this matter?" Bai Wuchang asked, "He also killed him?"
"He didn't kill anyone, he...he was responsible for guarding the resentful spirits." Butler Wei's voice trembled: "Actually, the Wei Mansion...is not haunted. The resentful spirits that scare the lady are actually...
