Chapter 178 The killing feast, long overdue

Shanyang City, Xue Mansion.

Although the night was already deep, the seventh master of the Xue family, Xue Jieyan, was still sitting in his study, Wenxing Pavilion, handling the family affairs assigned to him.

Outside the Wenxing Pavilion, there are vigorous ancient trees, jagged rocks, and diversion water into a pond, where more than a dozen goldfish are raised. All the constructions are exquisite, unique and original.

The furnishings in the museum are even more luxurious, not to mention the priceless calligraphy and paintings of literati.

Just talking about the few brushes lying randomly on the table, the raw materials are all from the genus of spirits. One brush can be enough to meet the rations of ordinary people for a year.

Separated by just a wall, there are two completely different worlds inside and outside the compound.

boom!

When Xue Jieyan read the documents reported by the garden steward, he suddenly slapped the table and became furious:

"That makes no sense!

There are so many maids that these bastards bully to death at will that they can hardly even bury them in the back garden?

This is so ridiculous, my Xue family will be completely embarrassed!

These servants who are always lazy all day must be disciplined.

Not far from the city is the Zhuohe River. Can you walk a few more steps and throw someone into the Zhuohe River to exhaust you to death? You are not a son of a man, you are cheating and slipping!"

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the high-quality Yangxian tea that had been collected from the tributes, and then he managed to suppress his anger.

He picked up another document on the table and nodded slightly:

"The advice from the grain depot manager is very insightful.

The amount of food stolen from my house by "Wo Laiye" cannot just be stolen in vain.

I have to write a note and transfer the official grain from the official warehouses of nine counties and one state to replenish my family's grain store.

By the way, there is also a treasure house in Ninghai Prefecture specifically for [Changshuiying] to eat.

There are many fine grains in the treasure house, as well as spiritual rice and spiritual grains grown in the Qi knot points on the earth. At least 30% of these must be allocated to supply my family.

A few days ago, Donglou was seriously ill and I didn't take care of him. I have to make up for this gap.

Those people are pitiful, do I, the Xue family, deserve to be so unlucky? The common people are just weeds, and I, the Xue family, are the gods of this Dengzhou capital!"

At this moment.

Toot toot.

Suddenly there was a very subtle sound from the study door. He frowned and scolded casually:

"Who's out there? Playing the suona at night? It's disturbing the peace!"

However, the suona sound continued after the scolding.

It got louder and louder, and got closer and closer to the study, until it stopped in front of the door.

"Which servant is so ignorant?!"

Xue Jieyan walked to the door angrily and opened the door.

After opening the door, the weird suona sound stopped abruptly.

However, he unexpectedly found that there was no one outside the door, only a blood-red sedan parked alone.

Seeing this scene, a chill ran down his back, as if a cold poisonous snake was slowly crawling along his back and into his collar.

I couldn’t help shouting in my heart:

"What the hell is this? Where is the clan spirit of my family temple? How can monsters and monsters enter the Xue family?!"

But at this time, even if he wanted to close the door again, he couldn't do it.

His body was stiff, and he could only watch helplessly as the curtain of the bloody sedan opened little by little.

A bride wearing a red hijab, a wedding dress embroidered with colorful phoenixes, and a pale ghost child was revealed in her arms!

Immediately, Xue Jieyan saw the ghost child in her arms slowly turning his head and smiling softly at him, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth like sharks.

There seemed to be shreds of raw meat left between the teeth.

"ah!"

With a scream from his mouth, the seventh master of the Xue family threw his head back and fell. The back of his head hit the ground hard and he fainted instantly.

He seems to have completely forgotten that he is also a second level [Taoist] who has intensively practiced the family tradition [Hundred Birds Art of War].

But a moment later, he suddenly woke up again.

Suddenly, I realized that I was still sitting behind the desk, with the document for the grain depot director's application for grain transfer in front of me.

"Is this... a dream I just had?"

He reached out and rubbed his cheek vigorously.

Although he comforted himself so much, a thick haze quietly crept into his heart.

Just because starting from three days ago, the Xue family mansion gradually became a little less peaceful.

One after another, some core members of the family would become hysterical for no apparent reason as soon as they woke up, or talk nonsense, or hit everyone they met.

First it was several stewards with foreign surnames, then relatives of the Xue family, and then direct family members. More than a dozen people were recruited before and after.

They may not be in high positions, but most of them are Xue Jiajian's [Tao soldiers].

After these people became ill, even if they sought diagnosis and treatment from the most famous doctors in Dengzhou Prefecture, they could not see any improvement. Even Zhu Youshu, which was borrowed from Dharma, had no effect at all.

The terrifying nightmare just now was connected with the strange things that happened at home, which naturally made him think more.

"If it doesn't work, let Yu Longzhi and those losers come to the house tomorrow to take a look.

These losers can't even catch a single one of them, and if they can't solve the weird things in the house, they'll be beaten to death!"

He still doesn't know.

The eldest young master Xue Donglou and the chief steward Xue Ping have already offended Yu Longzhi to death, and are still waiting for the "Shaye Temple" to report the good news of the successful assassination.

Boom, boom, boom.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Xue Jieyan was startled and almost jumped up in fright.

Until a familiar voice sounded outside the door:

"Yan'er, open the door."

Then he secretly laughed at himself for being too sensitive, got up, stepped forward and opened the door.

Seeing the familiar old woman outside the door, he couldn't help but feel relieved, because the person standing outside the door was his old mother.

However, when he looked at the old woman, his expression changed suddenly and he blurted out:

"Mom! Didn't you pass away last year?!"

The white-haired old woman didn't speak, but slowly opened her mouth, revealing a smile exactly like the ghost baby just now, and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Xue Jiexi screamed, raised his head again and fell down. The back of his head hit the ground and he fainted.

After a moment, I woke up again and found that I was still sitting in front of the desk.

But this time he didn't dare to deceive himself that it was just a dream.

He stood up without hesitation and was about to rush out of the study to find someone for help.

At this moment, the door was knocked again.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Yan'er, open the door for Mom! Come and open the door quickly!"

Xue Jieyan trembled all over after hearing this, and his liver and gallbladder almost burst.

The knocking seemed not to be on the door, but on his own internal organs.

He wandered around the room like a headless fly for a while, and finally Xue Qiye got under the desk in a panic.

After a while, I heard the knocking on the door gradually disappearing.

Xue Jiexi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Maybe as long as he didn't open the door for it himself, it wouldn't be able to get in at all.

Even though he has never seen [Weird] with his own eyes, he has heard of many weird "commandments and taboos" and knows that these taboos are the basis for saving his life in the hands of Weird.

However, just when he wanted to get up and check, he heard another footsteps ringing in his ears.

Not outside the door, but right in this room!

"Don't find me! Don't find me!."

Xue Qiye's heart was like a drum, almost jumping into his throat. He buried his head deeply and prayed to God and Buddha crazily in his heart.

After a long time.

It seemed that no one was found in the house, and the strange footsteps finally disappeared without a trace.

Xue Jieyan, who was still in shock, slowly poked his head out, wanting to check what was going on, but suddenly he met a pair of blood-red eyes.
