Yan Yan had seen the revolving door, and as expected, the young man was the second oldest child in the family.
"But when he died, you were already dead, and it was your brother who killed him?"
The young man was completely silent.
"Does your brother have a grudge against you?" Yan Yan was puzzled.
Judging from the way the boy was worried about his child falling into the well, it didn't look like he would abuse his younger brother.
Is there any other reason for a younger brother to kill his older brother with his own hands?
Yan Yan took away the young man's soul, summoned the hanged man on the roof of the east wing, and told the hanged man everything she saw.
"You mean, my second brother was killed before me!" The hanged man finally stopped staying.
Yan Yan nodded: "And it was your brother who killed him."
"Why does my little brother hate us so much?" The Hanged Man slowly retracted his tongue.
This shows that his resentment suddenly increased, and he was able to hide the appearance of evil spirits, becoming more and more like his appearance in life.
"I have found your murderer for you. It's time to leave." Yan Yan stared at it.
"No, I won't leave." The hanged man looked at Yan Yan fiercely, "You have to help me get my life back from my little brother!"
"Shua——"
Yan Yan had a stern look on his face, and waved his hand in front of it, causing the hanged ghost to disperse instantly.
"Greed is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant." Yan Yan spat out these words.
"Miss Yan, it's time for us to leave."
Yan Hexing searched around and found Yan Yu on the roof.
"Oh." Yan Yan jumped off the roof.
When a group of them left the village, the village chief escorted them to the entrance of the village.
I saw a family of three walking towards the village from outside.
Yan Yan's eyes fell on one of the young men, and until he entered the village, Yan Yan still stared at his back.
Everyone saw Yan Yan's strange behavior.
Yan Hexing looked back at the family of three and asked the village chief who they were.
"They are the owners of the courtyard where you live."
Yan Hexing was suddenly stunned and looked at Yan Yu.
The corpse they dug out from the well wall was still placed in the yard. Yan Yan told them not to move, saying that someone would find it eventually, and maybe it was the person who killed him.
"Village chief, why don't they live in the village anymore?" Yan Yan asked.
"Alas." The village chief sighed, "After such a big incident happened at home, how could they dare to stay here?"
Xu Shiyan said that He Xing and his party were leaving, so the village chief didn't have to worry so much and told everything that happened to that family.
Six years ago, that family had three sons.
The three sons are all good people, the eldest son is a scholar, and the second son is a businessman.
The younger son is still young, so I can’t tell he has any talent, but he is definitely pretty good.
Everyone in the village thinks so, and they are all waiting to see what future their younger son will have.
But before the younger son grew up, the eldest son hanged himself and the second son also disappeared.
After the funeral, the family left the village.
"Then what future does this little son have now?" Yan Yan asked with a sneer.
"I don't know. Anyway, every time I come back, it looks better than us."
"Really?"
"But, I have heard it said by others," the village chief whispered, "that he was married to a wealthy businesswoman."
Yan Yan raised his eyebrows: "That's quite promising. You can just eat and drink for free."
"Then you have to betray your ancestors! Besides, I heard that they are not doing well, and the rich business lady is very vicious!"
"Oh?" Yan Yan said meaningfully, "Then wouldn't these two be a good match?"
After many twists and turns, the group of them finally arrived at the Yan family's house the day before the birthday of the old man of the Yan family.
The Yan family's home was located on the edge of a cliff. It was the largest mansion Yan Ji had ever seen besides the imperial palace.
She didn't know how she arrived in front of Yanfu's mansion, entered a forest where it was easy to get lost, and then went up a mountain full of thick fog.
After the thick fog, there is the Yan family's mansion.
"Does your family have a unique treasure, or are you too afraid of death?" Yan Yan said speechlessly, "Is it necessary to hide it so secretly?"
Yan Hexing laughed, then straightened his expression, "Let's go to the mansion first."
Yan Yan stopped and walked along the way. When he saw something delicious and interesting, he couldn't walk anymore.
The originally planned journey turned out to be two days late.
I don’t know if the Great Elder will punish him when he returns.
There are two guardians standing in front of the Yan Mansion, and only Yan Hexing can walk through the main entrance.
When Yan Yan and Bai Zhu were about to enter, two guards blocked them outside with long knives in their hands.
Yan Yan stared at the two nursing homes.
The nurse's face was abnormally white, and her lips were black and gray.
Yan Yan grabbed the wrist of one of them, and Hu Yuan tried to hide but couldn't get away.
Pulling open the sleeves, there are black cracks on the arms.
This kind of black crack only appears on incorruptible corpses.
Yan Yan checked his pulse.
There is a pulse and a heartbeat, but there is no breathing.
This looks like the corpses in Qianhu Village whose souls have returned to their physical bodies.
"This is the Yin servant. He refines the body of a living person until it is incorruptible and has stronger energy than a living human body. Then he refines the soul body so that they can only obey this order in their mind." Bai Zhu said lightly.
"Then does this count as living or dead?"
"Half-dead, after death, the soul does not return to the underworld, but the result is that the soul is scattered."
"Half-dead?" Yan Yan said quietly, "As long as there is something dead, it will be under my control."
Bai Zhu laughed softly and said, "It makes sense."
Just as Yan Hexing was about to report to the Great Elder to let Yan Yan and Bai Zhu go, he saw that the two men had already followed him in.
"How did you get in?" Yan Hexing looked at the two nursing homes at the door. They were still the same as before.
However, these two guardians did not have orders from the head and elders of the Yan family, and no one could approach the mansion from them, not even the sect leader of Xuanmen.
"There are always more solutions than problems." Yan Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Boy, you are still too young."
Yan Hexing: "..." Why is it that such a good girl sounds like a thousand-year-old ancestor?
The Yan family's mansion is like an empty mansion. It takes a long time to walk around before meeting one or two servants.
They were all servants with pale faces. They walked for a long time without even a bird chirping.
Yan Yan stopped and suddenly asked: "Tomorrow is really your grandpa's birthday and not his funeral?"
Yan Hexing choked and had to explain: "There are many rules in the family, and the elders don't like to make noise."
Yan Yan didn't have a good impression of the Yan family, so he curled his lips and said, "Then just bury him as early as possible. It will be quieter underground."
Yan Hexing looked unhappy: "They are all my relatives, and even your relatives, Miss Yan. Are you saying that..."
"I said this just because you are my relative." Yan Yan interrupted him and glanced at him coldly, "No wonder you were not kept in my family."
She looked at the mansion in front of her with disgust, "This place is more disgusting than rotten meat."
"He Xing, why did you come... Yan Yan?!"
Hearing his name in Yan's house, Yan Yan looked over with raised eyebrows.
It turned out to be the girl I saw in prison before.
It seems to be called...Linghua?
"Sister Ling." Yan Hexing called.
Yan Yan was curious: "Why did you call her Sister Ling instead of Sister Hua?"
Yan Hexing whispered: "Sister Ling doesn't allow us to call her that."
"You don't recognize the identity of the eldest lady of the Yan family? Why are you here now?" Yan Linghua sneered.
"Heh." Yan Yan sneered, "Do you think I'm willing to come to this lousy place like yours?"
