"Ya … Girl … Do you really want to kill me?"
Qinghu, who had gone to the bathroom more than ten times, collapsed in Lin Mengya's room.
Lin Mengya looked at the guy lying on her bed with a fake smile. She did not want to show him any hypocritical sympathy.
"Who asked you to ask for food? Alright, you stay here obediently. I still have things to do."
Lin Mengya sent away all the maids and older female servants in the courtyard.
Baishao and Baiji had something to do. After Lin Mengya left, only Qinghu, Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu were left in the courtyard.
"You can all go out. I want to have a good sleep."
Qinghu, who was half-dead, did not even bother to open his eyes. He drove Baizhi and Lin Zhongyu away and fell asleep in Lin Mengya's room alone.
Lin Zhongyu did not like this guy who was neither a man nor a woman. But Lin Mengya had told him not to provoke this guy.
Lin Mengya left the Liuxin Courtyard and went to Long Tianhao's Qinwu Courtyard.
Steward Deng had already tidied up a small clean room. He also chose a dozen strong and smart guards. They changed into plain clothes and waited for orders in the courtyard.
"Princess, according to your order, this room and the guards are all chosen by me. No one knows the inside story. "
"Thank you. You've worked hard. From now on, I hope you can stay awake until tomorrow morning."
Lin Mengya smiled and her face shone.
More than a dozen guards looked at the princess in front of them respectfully.
"Yes, Princess!"
They deliberately lowered their voices. After a while, the dozen people hid themselves tacitly.
Lin Mengya took Baishao and Baizhi to the small room and talked secretly.
"Master, it's just as you expected. The strands of hair this servant put in your book all disappeared after that fellow appeared. "
Baiji was very careful. She was the best person to do this kind of thing.
In fact, Lin Mengya had asked Baiji to put a hair in the tenth page of the books on her desk after she went out.
After she came back, Baiji checked carefully when no one was looking.
The two of them found that every time Qinghu appeared, the hair in the book would disappear.
Today was no exception.
"I've already expected this. He's a cunning and treacherous person. Why would he willingly follow my orders just because of a simple antidote?"
Cooperating with Qinghu was like driving a tiger to devour a wolf.
If he wasn't careful, he might suffer a backlash.
Although she could not figure out Qinghu's purpose, she could not help but wonder what he was looking for by rummaging in her room.
"Master, the clothes are ready. Shall I and Baiji help you change into them?"
Baishao, who had changed into a tight-fitting black outfit, was holding a bright red dress. There was a faint look of anticipation on her pretty little face.
"Yo, where did you borrow these clothes from? Now that you mention it, it really does seem that way. "
Lin Mengya looked at the red dress in Baishao's hands over and over again. The color was magnificent and the style was simple.
The material was also very elegant. At night, it would definitely have a good effect.
"About that, this servant borrowed it from a fellow villager. She was a handyman in a theatrical troupe. This is the costume. "
Baishao introduced it to Lin Mengya as if she was presenting a treasure. She had always been bold. At the thought of going out at night to pretend to be ghosts with her master, she was very excited.
"Well, let me try it and see if it has the effect of a female ghost in red."
Scaring people was definitely a new experience for Lin Mengya.
This idea was also inspired by the haunted teahouse. The reason why the old woman's body was thrown into the well was to destroy the evidence.
In fact, it would be safer to carry the old woman's body out. However, the entrance and exit of Prince Yu's Mansion was very strict. If they were careless, they would be in danger of being discovered.
If she deliberately leaked that she had found some clues on the old woman's body, the murderer would probably do something desperate.
But if she wanted to catch the culprit behind the scenes, she had to use double insurance.
"When I came back this afternoon, I asked you to spread the news. Have you spread it?"
While Qinghu was busy in the toilet, Lin Mengya asked Baishao and Baiji to secretly spread a small piece of news in Prince Yu's Mansion.
The news was not very informative. It only said that Lin Kui went to tear down the haunted teahouse at night with his men. As for the reason, it did not give any explanation.
Even if a teahouse made of gold became the property of Prince Yu's Mansion, she believed that the person behind the scenes would not be so relieved to leave it alone.
Moreover, they had just bought a shabby courtyard and even knew that there was an abandoned ice cellar. Even a ghost would not believe that there was nothing wrong with it.
However, she was not sure whether the steward was the one who had killed the old maid. But the fact that the murderer could disguise himself flawlessly showed that he was very good at handling details.
Such a person was generally suspicious and thoughtful. Moreover, it was very difficult to be able to hide in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Therefore, the murderer would definitely not allow a corpse to ruin his work.
Tonight, she was going to catch the ghost like Zhong Kui!
Be it in Prince Yu's Mansion or the small courtyard, all the preparations had been done.
The sky was getting dark, and the small room was lit by candles the size of beans.
Lin Mengya changed into a red dress. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders.
She deliberately put on jasmine powder on her pretty face. At first glance, she did look a little strange.
"Master, Childe Yu sent a message. That guy thought we didn't know and really sneaked away."
Baiji sneaked out of the Liuxin Courtyard and passed on the message of Lin Zhongyu to Lin Mengya.
It seemed that she guessed right. Qinghu stayed by her side more to inquire about the news.
But she was always careful. She either wrote down important things in English or used symbols and codes that only she could understand.
It was wishful thinking for Qinghu to steal something from her.
"Okay, I got it. Go back later, close the door with Baizhi and Xiaoyu and go to sleep. "
Lin Mengya nodded and Baiji slipped away again.
After a while, Lin Kui appeared in Lin Mengya's room.
"Your Highness … What are you doing?"
Under the light, the princess was wearing a red dress. Her pale face was frightening.
Although Lin Kui was very bold, he was still shocked.
"I'm catching the ghost like Zhong Kui. Okay, what's the situation now?"
Lin Kui calmed himself down. He came from the small teahouse.
"Sure enough, the ghost appeared. I sent more than a dozen workers, but after entering the door, they all fainted inexplicably. Now, those workers said that it was the work of a wronged ghost. No one dares to go in and tear down the house. As for the steward, when it was dark, the people I sent to monitor him said that he had gone to bed early and there was no movement. "
"Asleep?" Lin Mengya slightly raised the corner of her mouth. "I'm afraid that your men have been found. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look. The man in charge is definitely not in the house. "
"They took the bait!"
Lin Mengya sneered in her heart. Greed was the original sin that humans could never avoid.
No matter how smart a person was, he would have shortcomings when he had desire.
This mole must have been lurking in the Prince Yu's Mansion for a long time.
Now, it was time to pull him out!
"Let's go!"
The night was dark. Long Tianhao, in a black robe, stood in the small courtyard in front of the study, looking in an unknown direction.
"Your Highness, the princess has set off. But will this work? Will the princess be in danger? "
Steward Deng stood behind him respectfully. In fact, since they escaped from the fire, Steward Deng was not as alienated as before.
It was probably because of the experience of living and dying together.
Therefore, Steward Deng would do whatever Lin Mengya asked.
Long Tianhao acquiesced to this change, which was unusual.
"No, Night will follow her. If there is an accident, the first thing to do is to save her life."
Lin Mengya was a genius. He was a person who cherished talents. Therefore, no one could touch this girl's life!
"Your Highness, don't you want to have a look? There are many haunted places in the world, but it's the first time for me to see such a way of catching ghosts. "
Long Tianhao shook his head, turned and walked back to the study.
She could do whatever she wanted. It was her own business. As long as she could find the mole in the end, it would be fine.
He was not interested in other things.
In the night, the small teahouse looked more mysterious and strange.
More than a dozen workers who had fainted were lying in the courtyard.
A few people were awake, taking care of those people.
One or two big red lanterns floated over from the depths of the alley.
One of the quick-witted ones rubbed his eyes and immediately screamed, "Oh my god!" and hid in the courtyard. With a 'bang', he closed the small door of the backyard.
"What's wrong with you?"
The others all looked at that guy with questions in their eyes. They saw that the guy's face turned pale in an instant, and he pointed at the door tremblingly.
"Ghost! Ghost! "
They were also very scared. They didn't enter the small building because they needed to get tools.
Unexpectedly, not long after they entered, Steward Lin asked them to go inside to get people.
Now, those strong men hadn't woken up yet. Why was there another ghost?
"Where is the ghost? Aren't all the ghosts in the building? Well, don't scare us anymore. If there is a ghost, I think you'll be the first to be caught. "
They sat together, waiting for Steward Lin's order.
Although they were scared, they were still young and bold. Apart from the group of people sitting in the corner, who kept muttering about ghosts, the rest of them actually started to joke and talk about their daily lives.
"Bang, bang, bang." They heard three muffled knocks on the door. They thought it was Steward Lin who came back.
