The town is not big, but it is particularly lively because of the winter festival.
Perhaps because the place is remote, outsiders like them seem a bit out of place on the streets.
Qinghu had already found an inn where he would stay, so the group did not stay any longer. Soon, they found the inn they had booked before.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Mengya looked around.
No matter how you look at it, this town is an ordinary place.
On the outside, nothing unusual can be seen.
Fortunately, she is not an impatient person. Before tonight, the person hiding behind Huang's back and inciting her to do such a sinful thing will come to light.
"Girl, as expected, that Huang family didn't even return home after he came back from us. He went to a house in the town to cause trouble. That man's surname was Wang, and he was quite popular here. A famous goddess. The Huang family is also tough and makes everyone in the Wangshen family fall off their horses."
Goddess Wang? Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows slightly.
But it's not unreasonable to think about it. This kind of thing is indeed the most suitable thing for a goddess to do.
She actually wanted to meet the Queen Mother for a while to see what this guy was capable of!
"Let's go to this Queen Mother Wang's house tonight. To do such a thing, it must not be a bad thing."
Lin Mengya personally took action, which meant that she would definitely get to the bottom of this matter.
As night fell, Lin Mengya and Qinghu walked to Goddess Wang's house carrying some inexpensive gifts.
People who heard back said that this Queen Mother Wang was also a powerful person.
Even though Mrs. Huang made a lot of trouble, at the last moment, she didn't know what she said to Mrs. Huang, so that woman walked out of Wang Shenpo's house with her face turning blue and white.
Moreover, this Queen Mother has some miracles.
Especially in the two aspects of seeking marriage for children, he has some prestige.
To put it bluntly, she is a Mongolian doctor with the function of a smooth-talking matchmaker.
But in the eyes of the locals, this guy is a great person.
Whenever there are any big or small matters at home, they like to go to Wang Shen's house and let her figure it out.
Goddess Wang is also the most knowledgeable in this town. Therefore, many things gained a lot of credibility when they came into the mouth of Goddess Wang.
It's just that this guy is obsessed with money and has no professional ethics at all.
If a swinger from a certain family falls in love with the eldest daughter or daughter-in-law of a certain family, Grandma Wang will also engage in prostitution from time to time.
Therefore, all serious people in the town kept a respectful distance from this great immortal.
On the contrary, those people who had nothing to do, crowing like chickens and robbers, had close contacts with her.
When she learned that the master behind the Huang family was actually this Goddess Wang, she was not surprised at all.
"Her house is just around the corner. Our people are already buried in the dark."
Qinghu said in a low voice that according to his wishes, it would be fine for him to solve these small things.
I don’t know which nerve the girl has touched, she still has to do it herself.
At the moment, he could only shake his head and let the girl handle it.
The two arrived at Goddess Wang's house. Before Qinghu could call the door, they saw that the door of Goddess Wang's house suddenly opened with a small gap from the inside.
At this time, it happened to be dusk.
It was quiet inside the door that he opened, without even the slightest sound.
The two of them felt strange. Qinghu narrowed his eyes and felt something was wrong.
"I gonna go see."
After whispering instructions to Lin Mengya, she slipped out of the crack in the door like a nimble fox.
After a moment, he flashed back like a ghost, with a solemn look on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Mengya knew in her heart that something must have happened inside, otherwise Qinghu wouldn't look so bad.
However, just as the latter was about to speak, he heard something.
With a wave of his big hand, he picked up Lin Mengya Fei, flew over the eaves and walked over the wall and disappeared at the door of Wang Shenpo's house as quickly as possible.
The men who had been following them all worked in perfect agreement to hide Lin Mengya's wheelchair and eliminate all traces of them.
In this way, even if someone arrives, they will never realize that they have been here just now.
"What's wrong? Looking at you in such a panic, what happened?"
Qinghu hugged Lin Mengya and ran all the way until he returned to the inn room before putting her down.
"All the people inside are dead. Even the people I arranged to stay there are nowhere to be found. And just now, I heard a lot of footsteps, heading towards Goddess Wang's house. Then His steps are steady and strong, you must think that he is not an ordinary person."
After hearing Qinghu's words, Lin Mengya felt a little solemn.
Speaking of which, just before they set off, the men who were squatting outside Wang Shenpo's house even exchanged words.
Why has everyone disappeared in such a short time
There was also Wang Shenpo's family. Although she didn't see it, thinking that Qinghu said they were all dead, there must be no survivors from the Wang family.
"They are all dead? Is Grandma Wang among them? What is the cause of death? Did our people also suffer an accident?"
This series of questions made Qinghu a little embarrassed.
In fact, he only saw several people lying in the courtyard of the Wang family.
And it was just a big hole in the chest, and the person was already dead.
As for what caused it and whether Wang Shenpo was among it, he hadn't had time to see clearly yet.
"The two of them are old men for many years. Even if something happens, they will leave us a code. Maybe they saw the appearance of the murderer, so they went to track it. It can kill people under the eyes of the two of them. , I am afraid that he is the murderer who killed Wang Shenpo and his family, and he is also a ruthless character."
Qinghu knew his men quite well. As spies, their martial arts skills were not high. However, the ability to hide and dodge is not small.
As long as they don't take the initiative to jump out, I'm afraid there won't be many people in this world who can see through the disguise of those two people.
Lin Mengya nodded. Unexpectedly, the line she just detected was broken.
Why has this matter become so confusing again
After a light night's sleep, Lin Mengya thought that the massacre of the Wang family would inevitably cause an uproar in this small town the next day.
However, when they were dining on the first floor of the inn, they didn't hear any discussion.
Could it be that the government blocked the news
Just when Lin Mengya was thinking this, at a square table not far away, an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old started talking in a low voice with his tablemate.
"Hey, did you know that Wang Shenpo's family also died last night!"
The audience is also a local, so naturally he also knows such news.
It's just that the man's interest was not very high. As soon as the old man said it, he wanted to change the topic.
The old man was very stubborn. After sighing, he said.
"I don't know what kind of damage was done to Heaven. Last night, the concubine of Mr. Huang's family also died of an emergency. Our town may never have peace."
The concubine of Mr. Huang’s family? Lin Mengya immediately thought of the Huang family who made trouble at Goddess Wang's family.
His eyes fell on the old man inadvertently. The person who happened to be sitting at the same table might think this was unlucky.
After apologizing, he walked away.
Lin Mengya immediately exchanged words with Qing Hu, who nodded, took a plate of unused sauce meat on the table, and moved it to the old man's table.
"Old man, I wonder who the concubine of Mr. Huang's family you mentioned just now is?"
The old man raised his head because of these unfamiliar words.
However, after seeing that the other person was a good-looking man and had a brand new plate of sauced pork in his hand, I automatically attributed him to a busybody who liked to inquire about gossip.
Qinghu saw that the old man did not blame himself for eavesdropping, and he naturally understood that this was a master who had something to say.
At that moment, he didn't see anyone else, he sat down generously, called the waiter, and added a few more dishes of side dishes and steamed buns stuffed with meat.
"Well, people talk a lot when they get old. It's rare that I can still give you a favor and talk to an old man like me. Speaking of which, the concubine from the Huang family was brought into the house by Mr. Huang three years ago. It is said that she is a flower Although the people in the family are beautiful, they are not very honest. I heard that the eldest grandmother in their family once aborted the fetus of the concubine in a fit of anger. Now she got a sudden illness and died. I don’t know what evil spirit he committed.”
Qinghu heard the old man's words and understood in his heart that he was afraid that this person was Mrs. Tian's daughter, Mrs. Huang.
But he heard again that there seemed to be something in the old man's words.
I couldn't help but put on the look of a curious baby again, and asked politely.
"Carrying evil spirits? It's normal for someone to die of a sudden illness. Could it be that the old man knows something else?"
The two people's voices were so low that if Lin Mengya hadn't been the closest, she might not have been heard at all.
The old man did not speak directly, but looked around before speaking.
"You are a foreigner and don't know what is going on in our town. Counting Mrs. Wang and the concubine of the Huang family, a total of twelve families here have died within a year. Moreover, I heard that several families have died. , were all found killed not far from the town. It was so miserable that anyone who saw it would have nightmares for the rest of their lives. Some people said that it was because someone in our town had offended the Mountain Goddess, so They will be punished. If someone wants to leave, they must get permission from the Mountain Goddess. Behind our town, there is a mountain temple. All people in the town who want to leave must first go inside and ask for a signature. That's right. Strangely, in families where there are only unmarried boys and no girls. Or the girls have long been married outside, it is easier to get permission from the Mountain Goddess to move outside. However, such families have long since hidden away. Those who stay here now are just waiting to die."
