Chapter 210 Suspect
Chapter 210 Suspect
Although the current situation in the villa is similar to that in Zhuangjia Town, it is very likely that the evil spirits in Zhuangjia Town are causing trouble. He also knows that Taoist Huanglian, who is guarding Zhao Gaoyang, has absorbed some ghosts and evil spirits in Zhuangjia Town, which are intended to be used to make new ghost cards.
But he knew Taoist Huanglian's abilities. Such a powerful ghost could not be the evil spirit they captured from Zhuangjia Town.
Therefore, it must be an outsider who took action.
However, this villa is just one of the Zhao family's properties, and is only used for occasional short stays. It is not the main residence of the Zhao family, and ordinary people cannot find it.
Apart from Ning Ji, he couldn't think of any other powerful enemies.
Of course, Ning Ji was not an enemy, but he guessed that Zhao Gaoyang might have been discovered by someone following him, so he was retaliated against.
Several servants heard the question, thought carefully, and said:
"After the Second Young Master returned, he seemed to be fine. Steward Zhao even instructed us to prepare dinner, including a large number of meat dishes. He seemed to have a good appetite."
"Yes, and no one came to visit. It was just after dark when something happened in the front yard. The kids were all in the backyard at the time and didn't know what happened."
"Oh, right, there was an incident before the incident. Guard Ding was taking a slave who had betrayed his master to the tiger park to feed the tigers. The slave looked unfamiliar, and we had never seen him before. But of course, before he could feed the tigers, the incident happened in the front yard, and Guard Ding ran to the front yard."
Zhao Laoxie frowned. "A traitorous servant? What kind of servant?"
"It was a child, about ten years old, very thin, but very brave. It was said that he stole a large bag of valuables."
"A half-grown child?" Zhao Laoxie narrowed his eyes and asked about the child's facial features. From the descriptions of these servants, he concluded that it was the little servant who followed Ning Ji.
He had previously instructed Zhao Gaoyang to contact the little servant and talk to him, but he didn't ask him to do anything. But how did he bring the person back?
Although he didn't know what had happened, he roughly guessed something from the stories told by these servants. It must be Zhao Gaoyang who asked the child to steal Ning Ji's things, but it was definitely more than just property.
Otherwise, why bring him back to the villa?
Could it be that because their whereabouts were discovered, they came to chase us and drove ghosts to harm people?
But what was stolen that led to the killing of everyone in the villa?
Looking at the villa in the distance shrouded in gray fog, he was sure that there was no living person inside.
Zhao Laoxie's face was grim, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes. The servants beside him were terrified when they saw it.
"Ajia, go to Wula City and check on Ayi and the others to see if anything has happened. If so, find out the whereabouts of the man and woman."
In fact, in addition to asking Zhao Gaoyang to keep an eye on Ning Ji and the other two, he also sent guards with good skills to follow them just in case.
Originally, he just wanted to find out what the two men had gained in Zhuangjia Town, and to understand their background. If he could win them over to do his work, that would be the best. If he failed, he had other plans.
Yesterday afternoon, after A Yi followed the two men into the city, he sent someone to pass on the news, but after the city gates were closed, the news could no longer be delivered, so he didn't know what the situation in the city was.
"Yes." Ajia bowed, jumped on his horse, and galloped quickly into the city.
"Is the patriarch talking about the couple surnamed Ding?" The old Taoist standing by couldn't help but frown when he saw what Zhao Laoxie had ordered his men to do.
"Yes, I suspect it was done by those two!"
Zhao Laoxie looked at the villa in front of him, and the murderous intent on his face grew stronger.
When Taoist Liu heard him say this, he frowned even more tightly. They had seen that man take action before. He was very skilled and had good means of exorcising evil spirits. It was not impossible for him to do such a thing.
Moreover, the strange gray fog in this villa is the same as that in Zhuangjia Town. It is definitely a ghost thing brought out from that town.
Therefore, it could only have been done by a Taoist priest from that town.
The main thing is that these slaves said before that a runaway slave took other people's things.
But if that's the case, it would be even more difficult.
Zhao Laoxie took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "Master Liu, let's take a look at this villa first."
"it is good."
After that, the group went to the villa to investigate the situation first.
……
In the city, Ning Ji and Si He, after a night's rest, felt less tired and went out at noon to have breakfast in the teahouse opposite the inn.
However, as soon as they went out, Si He noticed that there were prying eyes around them. Was someone still staring at them?
Are they the same group of people who contacted Wei Xiaohu, or are they villains with ulterior motives?
Most likely, it’s still the same group of people.
Ning Ji said last night that Wei Xiaohu took his things and left the city.
I guess the things have already fallen into the hands of those people, but why are they still following us now? What are they planning?
That thing is now outside the city, and I don’t know whether those people will open it to check. If they do, there will probably be quite a bit of noise.
Although she had never seen the Yin Gathering Stone in the bronze tripod, she heard from Ning Ji that this thing was very dangerous and that ordinary people could not handle it. Even Ning Ji was injured because of it.
If something serious happens, those people might come knocking on your door.
If nothing happened, then they would have to come to the door.
The city gate had only been opened for a short time at this point, but there should be news soon.
After entering the teahouse, the two found a seat by the window and ordered some of the store's signature breakfast.
At this time, there were not many customers in the teahouse. They were sitting in groups of three or four. It was not noisy and the atmosphere was quite good.
After a while, the waiter brought the tea. The faint tea fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart.
Ning Ji picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of tea with a relaxed attitude. He was not at all anxious about losing the small bronze tripod. His face no longer had the coldness of last night, as if nothing had happened.
"Have a cup of tea first."
After pouring her tea, he glanced at the street outside the window inconspicuously, then quickly withdrew his gaze. When his eyelids drooped slightly, he concealed the faint murderous intent that flashed in his eyes.
"Hmm." Si He responded, picked up the teacup, blew away the hot steam in the cup, and took a sip.
The tea flavor is a bit strong, but it is sweet after passing through the throat, so it is a good tea.
"Husband, how long do you think it will take for those people to come find us?"
She put down the teacup and looked up at Ning Ji, just a little curious and wanted to hear his thoughts.
"Maybe soon." He smiled at her, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
Seeing that he was confident, she was no longer anxious. However, he was still a little pale, and she was a little worried. "If it's too troublesome, we can leave first and retrieve your things after you recover."
