Li Minghao looked at the woman standing inside the door and couldn't help but gulped. They were right. This person was indeed not human, or to be more precise, she looked 30% human and 70% ghost-like.

The woman in front of me is thin, with a thin layer of skin covering her slender bones, just like withered hemp stalks in the autumn world. She has high cheekbones, a pointed chin, and her face has no color, or to be more precise, no color.

She was lifeless. Her two thin lips were glowing with an unhealthy purple color. Although her disheveled hair covered her hollow eyes, everyone could still see her.

This person looked like he had just crawled out of the graveyard. It was hard to believe that this person in front of him was a human being.

The exaggerated reaction of the crowd also startled her. The woman hurriedly hid behind the door and quietly poked her head out to look at the horrified people in front of her.

"Ahem, guests who have come from afar, I'm sorry to frighten you." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a clear sound of a cane tapping on the ground. Not long after, a somewhat hunchbacked old lady was slowly being supported by two maids.

When he came to the door, he turned around and winked at the woman hiding behind the door. The woman nodded slightly, turned around and left in a hurry.

Yang Shusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old lady had a kind face. She finally looked like a normal person.

He quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty Yang Shusheng has met Old Mrs. Huang. We made too much fuss just now and lost our grace. Please don't blame Old Mrs. Huang."

The old lady laughed, waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's my fault. I didn't think well enough to ask my daughter to answer the door. My daughter also had a hard life. She was forced to give birth when she was only seven months old. She was born with deficiencies.

.Although I have searched for good doctors, no one can cure my little girl's disease, which is why she is like this."

After hearing what Mrs. Huang had said, Yang Shusheng sighed and seemed a little regretful. But the next second he seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "I see, I have a way here, but I don't know if it is feasible or not."

Mrs. Huang's eyes lit up: "Mr. Yang, you can do whatever you want, don't be restrained."

"Okay, since you can't find a suitable treatment method here, why not go to the Forbidden City for treatment? There are many talented people there. I think it should be very simple to cure Miss Huang's disease." Yang Shusheng said slightly.

Said with a smile.

Old Mrs. Huang frowned, then smiled and said: "That's right. Thank you Mr. Yang for reminding me. If nothing happens, the old woman will definitely go there. It's too cold outside, please don't just stand. Come in and warm yourself up."

Get warm."

"Ah... Okay, then we'll stop disturbing you." Yang Shusheng smiled awkwardly and led everyone into the Huang Mansion one after another. The Lord Wang's task of escorting the mission had been completed, so he turned around and returned with the escort team.

Black Ice City.

"Hey Lao Li, why didn't the old lady let her daughter go to the Forbidden City? If she went, she should be cured, right?" Liu Zhida asked quietly.

Li Minghao chuckled: "Congenital deficiencies can indeed be made up by acquired nourishment, but it will take a long time to make up for it. The old lady may not go because her daughter has some shady problems, or maybe she is afraid that she will stay after she goes."

In the Forbidden City, just like those men from the five northeastern families."

Liu Zhida understood what Li Minghao meant. He nodded and said, "In other words, this is the first thing we need to investigate next."

"You can put it that way."

After the two of them followed the large army into Huang's Mansion, they didn't take more than two steps when they saw the main hall of Huang's Mansion, which had been transformed into a mourning hall.

There were no lights on in the mourning hall, only two white candles were lit on the altar table. The weak flames swayed back and forth in the wind, as if they would be extinguished immediately in the next second. Under the illumination of the two small flames, people vaguely

I saw that the mourning hall was filled with coffins, and the gaps between the coffins were filled with white wreaths.

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew up on the ground. The wind passed through the hall, making the sound of howling ghosts and wolves, blowing the white cloth in the mourning hall and the elegiac couplets on the wreaths, blowing out the candles on the altar table, and the mourning hall instantly fell into chaos.

of darkness.

These officials had never seen this before. They were so frightened that they no longer cared about the dignity of the court. They screamed and ran away. Yang Shusheng did not bother to tell these people to be quiet. He turned around and ran behind Li Minghao and hid.

Li Minghao sighed. He turned around and said to Yang Shusheng, who was shivering behind him: "Mr. Yang, I suggest you loosen my clothes, otherwise I'll scare you, don't blame me."

When Yang Shusheng heard what Li Minghao said, he tightened his grip: "No, I will go wherever you go. This place is really weird. I shouldn't have come to this ghost place just to stay away from government affairs."

.”

"I'm telling you, the Vice Minister will join the mission. I originally applied for it. But it's too late for you to go back now. If I were you, I would first let go and calm down, and then be prepared to stay here for a week.

." Li Minghao smiled slightly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, then held the cigarette in his mouth and slowly walked towards the mourning hall while talking.

Yang Shusheng saw Li Minghao leading him slowly towards the mourning hall, so he pulled him back hard, but Li Minghao was much stronger than him and was not affected at all. It didn't take long for the two of them to come.

Arrive at the altar table.

Only then did Li Minghao realize that there were coffins outside the mourning hall. He smacked his lips. It seemed that there were quite a few men in the Huang family.

"Brother Minghao, what on earth are you going to do?" Yang Shusheng saw the pile of coffins in front of him, sat down, and hugged Li Minghao's legs. Anyway, he was relying on Li Minghao to keep him from leaving.

Li Minghao sighed: "It's nothing. When you see the candles go out, light them for them, otherwise they won't be able to go home."

With that said, Li Minghao took out the lighter, protected it with his hand, and lit the candle on the altar table. Only then did some light appear in the mourning hall.

Putting away the lighter, Li Minghao turned around and said to the panicked officials: "I am very disappointed to see you like this, because you are all officials and members of the mission. You represent the face of the emperor and the court."

Face, what you are doing is tantamount to slapping the imperial court in the face. I really don’t know what kind of face you will have after you go back.

It's so embarrassing to be in your position in front of you. Besides, the people in these coffins are already dead, and their souls have already gone to where they should go. I'm really curious why you are afraid. By the way, especially

The action report for this time will be transferred directly to the great master through Director Xiong, and I probably know how to write it to you."

After that, Li Minghao lifted up Yang Shusheng who was hiding behind him and had completely lost his mind. He smiled slightly and said, "Master Yang, otherwise you might go down to accompany them after you go back."

Yang Shusheng was shocked when he heard Li Minghao's words. Compared with the illusory ghosts, real positions and lives are indeed very important. He sighed softly: "That's it, everyone, listen, be honest.

Go where you should, don't embarrass others here."

After saying this, these panicked officials slowly calmed down. When the Huang family saw that these fat-headed guys stopped making trouble, they quickly took this opportunity to take them to the back to rest. Now the mourning hall

Now, there were only two people left, Yang Shusheng, Mrs. Huang and the two little maids beside her.

Old Mrs. Huang smiled and walked to Li Minghao on crutches: "First of all, old lady, I want to thank you for relighting the candle. Secondly, brother, you are really one of the few people I have ever met who has

Such a courageous person actually dares to scold those officials with power and even holds them in his hands, I admire him very much."

Li Minghao let go of his hand and put Yang Shusheng down. He clasped his hands and smiled slightly and said: "The Special Office sent us here just to ensure their safety. If the situation just now was not controlled, someone would probably be injured. In addition, it was rekindled.

Candles are just a simple task, Mrs. Huang doesn't need to be so polite."

Old Mrs. Huang nodded slightly: "I will have someone take a few of them to the residence to have a rest. A few of them slept in the open and traveled day and night. They must have not eaten well and slept well in the past few days. I will order the servants to cook, and soon

Okay, I will deliver it to your room at that time."

"Thank you." The three of them bowed their hands, and Mrs. Huang turned around and left slowly with a smile.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Minghao and Liu Zhida lay on the bed, feeling the softness of the bed and the warmth of the house. Liu Zhida couldn't help but sigh: "It's cool!"

Li Minghao smiled and said: "I haven't laid in bed for a long time, and I have forgotten what it feels like to lie in bed. You can rest, but don't forget that there are still things to do."

"I know, but you have to take out the things first." Liu Zhida was already speaking intermittently at this time, and he would probably fall asleep after a while.

Li Minghao sighed, and with a thought, the ring on his finger flashed with blue light, and two things similar to walkie-talkies appeared on the bed, but there was a mirror between the two things. I don't know what they were used for.

He picked up one and got up to start working, but he heard Liu Zhida's breathing from behind became evener, with a faint snoring.

He smacked his lips, turned around and slapped Liu Zhida in the face. Liu Zhida suddenly woke up. He was about to shout, but Li Minghao's hand covered his mouth: "Shh, be quiet. Don't forget what we are here for."

Get your things and start working quickly." As he said that, he handed the instrument in his hand to Liu Zhida, and he took the instrument on the bed and got out of bed.

"Can we still let people rest?" Liu Zhida grinned, stood up with a shudder, jumped out of bed, came to the door, and turned on the instrument. A red light suddenly lit up in the mirror, and there was also a faint

The sound came from the instrument. He took the instrument and swept it around on the wall next to the door.

"You can rest after you finish your work."

A quarter of an hour later, the two of them finally finished sweeping the whole room and lay on the bed again. Liu Zhida threw away the instrument in his hand and said, "I'm done here. There's nothing. I can't stand it anymore. I really want it this time."

Go to bed, don't disturb me, or I'll beat you up."

"I don't have anything here. It's strange. Knowing that we are here for a special purpose, why don't we install monitoring equipment?" Li Minghao shook his head, puzzled.

"You are thinking too much. What if they just don't take us to heart? After all, you look like that and I look like this. These two people are not a threat no matter how you look at them." As he spoke, Liu Zhida slowly

He closed his eyes, he was too sleepy.

"Really?" Li Minghao's upper and lower eyelids were also fighting at this time. Although he forced himself not to fall asleep, his eyelids slowly closed in the end.

Liu Zhida was right, Li Minghao's worries were unnecessary, because based on their disguises and what Li Minghao had done in front of the mourning hall, the Huang family did not doubt the purpose of Li Minghao's coming here.

No surveillance equipment was placed in their rooms. However, in order for the missionaries to fall asleep quickly, they lit a stick of Ecstasy in each room. It was smokeless and odorless, making it difficult to detect.

After confirming that everyone was asleep, Mrs. Huang led people from the backyard to the front of the mourning hall. She ordered people to open all the coffin lids, and those who followed the team at the end took the lifelike paper in their arms.

The people were put in, and along with the paper figures put into the coffin, there were also dead yellow-skinned people.

After doing this, people covered the coffin and restored it to its original state, then hurried back to the backyard, closed the door, and lit a candle.

The firelight reflected the figure on the window, and the person in the room slowly took off his clothes and sat motionless on the edge of the bed. It seemed that he was waiting for someone to come, but he couldn't wait for someone to come.

Got it.

The wait lasted until the latter half of the night. The people in the room didn't feel sleepy at all. During this period, they didn't yawn or move their bodies. They just kept the same posture and waited patiently.

At this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew in the backyard of the Huang family's mansion. There seemed to be a figure swaying in the wind, but it was hard to see clearly.

The dark wind blew for a while and then disappeared. At the moment when the dark wind disappeared, a person appeared out of thin air in front of the women's houses in the backyard, as if by magic, but their bodies were shrouded in darkness and could not be seen.

Clear face.

The black figures looked around to make sure no one could spot them, then pushed open the door with both hands and walked into the house.

They walked into the house, but their shadows were not reflected on the windows. They could only see the woman who had been waiting in the house standing up and stretching out her arms to hug something.

Then the woman slowly backed away and lay down slowly, and her shadow on the window disappeared.

After two breaths, all the candles in the house were extinguished almost simultaneously, and the backyard was instantly plunged into darkness.
Chapter completed!
