Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 159 The Next Huang Mansion

"Husband, how about we go to town and have something to eat before we leave?"

Seeing the deep curiosity in her eyes, he smiled and said, "Okay."

Although he had other things to do this time, his main purpose was to accompany her on a trip. She wanted to stay a little longer to watch the fun, so he would just accompany her.

After getting dressed and washing up, the two walked out of the guest room.

Now that it was confirmed that this inn was related to Madam Huang, after going downstairs, Si He looked at the shopkeeper and the waiter calmly. Their faces did not look too good at the moment, after all, it was their boss who was in trouble.

After going out, the people outside the inn had dispersed a little, but there were still quite a few people watching what was going on outside.

There are still a lot of scattered paper money on the surrounding land. When the morning breeze blows, the yellowed paper money is blown up and falls down by the wind, bringing a slightly desolate feeling.

Si He and Ning Ji walked to a small town not far away to find some food shops and fill their stomachs.

In the inn, a pair of scrutinizing gazes were fixed on the backs of the two people.

Someone asked, “Do you know him?”

The man who was looking at me smiled and said, "Not really acquaintance, see you again if we're lucky."

"Oh? What's so special about that?"

"Haha~ It's quite special."

……

The town was quite lively in the early morning, but most people were gathered together to talk about what had happened before. After all, this was a big event in the town.

No matter which family the funeral procession came from, there were still a lot of deaths, and they died due to strange circumstances, not encountering bandits. This kind of thing always arouses people's curiosity and discussion.

After Si He and Ning Ji entered the town, all they heard while walking on the street were these stories about the Qian family.

The two found a noodle restaurant to eat. When they were almost finished eating, they heard noise on the street outside.

It was the town's officials and a few Taoist priests riding past on horseback, making quite a noise and attracting the attention of everyone around.

Si He also turned her head curiously and looked at the person passing by the street.

Everyone in the group looked solemn and imposing.

After they disappeared, people around them began to talk in low voices, saying that those people were heading towards Qian's house.

It would have been fine if only two people died in the Qian family before, but last night the entire funeral procession died, and the government had to intervene.

Si He also withdrew her gaze. She lowered her head and ate noodles thoughtfully. Thinking of the Taoists and officials she had just seen, she always felt that something bad would happen.

After eating the noodles, the two walked around the street for a while and bought some local snacks to eat on the way.

This town is not too big and has a small population. Apart from a few busy streets, there is not much to see.

Passing by the Qian family where the accident happened, there was an official guarding the gate of the Qian family, and several horses were tied at the door. Those Taoists had indeed come here.

Many people around were watching the Qian family's movements from afar and whispering about them, but no one dared to get close as they were all quite cautious.

Si He only took a curious look from a distance, then left with Ning Ji. After they were far away, she whispered to him, "Husband, is the Qian family like the Huang family?"

However, just as she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped and looked towards a house on the side of the street in confusion.

The door of the house was closed. It was just an ordinary family's home. It looked very ordinary and there was nothing special about it.

However, she vaguely smelled a faint stench of corpse!

Ning Ji turned to look at her, then followed her gaze towards the house and asked, "What's wrong?"

Si He withdrew her gaze and whispered to him, "There's a smell of corpse in that room. Someone must have died."

Ever since she started taking the pills containing spiritual essence, she has become more and more sensitive to corpse qi, but other than that, there is nothing unusual.

Ning Ji looked at the house with his eyes slightly narrowed. It was not surprising that someone had died, but there was a hidden spirit-suppressing formation set up outside the house to isolate the abnormal fluctuations. If she hadn't said that there was corpse energy here, he would not have noticed the abnormality here.

Anyone who can set up such a hidden formation is certainly not an ordinary Taoist.

"Let's go." He withdrew his gaze and led Si He towards the outside of the town. "I think this place will be in chaos soon."

When Si He heard this, her eyes widened slightly, but there were pedestrians walking on the street, so she couldn't ask any more questions and had to follow him towards the inn.

When I reached the exit of the town, I saw a group of people with grim expressions walking back on the official road outside.

"Manager Qian, you're back. What's going on?"

"Yeah, what's with the funeral procession?"

There were some people at the town entrance who knew them and asked curiously, but the man named Manager Qian just waved his hand with an ugly expression, said nothing, and hurriedly walked towards the Qian Mansion with a group of people behind him.

They had no choice but to turn around and ask those who followed them back, but these people kept silent, as if they were very taboo, and just followed with gloomy faces.

The more these people kept silent, the more curious the people around them became. Some curious people even wanted to call some people to go and see what was going on.

Si He was also very curious about this, because these people's behavior was a bit strange. They came back very quickly. She estimated that this time should not be enough for the people in the funeral procession to collect the bodies. Could it be that they just took a look and came back?

If that's the case, the officials have probably already taken over the matter, so why send them back first?

If the government handles this matter, ordinary people will not be able to watch the excitement, and it will be even more difficult to find out any information.

She thought of what Ning Ji had just said, that chaos would soon break out here, and her heart sank.

After returning to the inn, closing the door and making sure there were no outsiders around, she curiously asked Ning Ji what he meant by what he had just said.

Ning Ji's eyes darkened, and as he packed his bag, he said, "Perhaps it will be like you said before, this Qian family will become the next Huang Mansion, and the room where you smelled the corpse is sealed by a powerful thing. This is a place of trouble, and it is not advisable to stay for long."

What he hadn't said yet was that this small town might become a place for Taoists to make money, just like the stone village it once was.

The difference is that before, Stone Village was an introduction for Jiang Yuan to cultivate his spiritual body, but here, it was a conspiracy between the Taoist priests and the government, each taking what they needed.

This kind of thing has happened in the Great Yan Kingdom before. In some remote villages and towns, it is difficult to cause much commotion. They can just call it a plague or a massacre by bandits and the matter will be passed over.

If it were just some Taoists, he would be able to intervene, but when it comes to the government, the water is deep.

When Si He heard his words, she felt even more complicated.

After packing up their things, they went downstairs.

There was only one waiter left at the counter downstairs. He seemed a little absent-minded until Ning Ji knocked on the table and the waiter came to his senses.
