Chapter 1439 Copper Coins
The fat man's face turned ugly. He understood. This was asking them to steal things from ghosts, especially from resentful ghosts like the former lady. The difficulty was imaginable.
The most deceptive thing was that they had to dress up as the Marquis of Zhennan. If they were a loving couple, it would be fine, but from the clues that have been integrated now, I'm afraid that the death of General Guo and the former lady are inseparable from the Marquis of Zhennan.
"Of course, my lady's hydrangea is not so easy to take." The woman changed the subject, "You need to pay attention. It's stealing the hydrangea, not taking it, let alone robbing it. You can't be discovered by the lady during this process. You can only approach the lady from behind."
"And you must remember that you must never expose your back to the lady, otherwise the consequences will be terrible."
As the woman said these words, she looked at Jiang Cheng and others with an indescribable feeling in her eyes, as if in the woman's eyes, Jiang Cheng and others were already dead, and it was completely unnecessary to say these things to the dead.
"Where is the hydrangea? Will your young lady always stay near it?"
Jiang Cheng took the opportunity to ask his own question, but just like Yao, Shun and Yu, the woman had no intention of responding at all. To be more precise, it was as if she didn't hear anything at all.
Seeing this, Li Bai gently patted Jiang Cheng's leg and shook his head slightly, "You don't need to ask. She is a disaster-receiving girl raised by the late lady's family since she was a child. She is born with a defective fate. I don't think she can hear what you say.
Sure enough, even if Li Bai didn't lower his voice too much, the woman who was so close still didn't react.
Later, the woman seemed to have thought of something and lifted up her thick hair. At this moment, Zhang Qizheng, who was closest to her, was obviously stunned. He saw that there were no ears under the hair on both sides of the woman.
And the woman did this action not to show anything. There was a red rope under the woman's neck, and the red rope was dinging. There was a clang, and some copper coins were hanging below.
The red string was broken, and the copper coins were carefully distributed to everyone, and the woman just happened to have one left in her hand.
Looking at the copper coin in his hand, Jiang Cheng found that there was a very thin groove on the copper coin, almost splitting the copper coin in two. This was obviously man-made. If you apply force along the groove, you should be able to break the copper coin.
The woman picked up the copper coin in her hand, "This copper coin can help you sense the location of the lady. As for how to use it, you will know it after trying it. What I want to say is that you must carefully protect this copper coin. It can be lost, but it must not be damaged. It represents your fate tonight.
Next, under the arrangement of the woman, everyone pricked their fingers and dripped blood on the copper coin that belonged to them. Later, the woman used a tool similar to a small awl to carefully carve a few times on each copper coin.
At the beginning, no one could see anything. After all, the woman's movements were very fast. The copper coin was not big, and the pattern engraved on it was not obvious. But as the number of times increased, Jiang Cheng felt that the pattern was more and more familiar. Finally, he thought of it. This strange pattern was very similar to the ghost painting on the map.
It was the map brought by Yao Shunyu.
As Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at Yao Shunyu, Yao Shunyu naturally discovered the mystery at this moment, and then nodded to Jiang Cheng calmly, indicating that his guess was correct.
The originally complicated clues began to intersect at this moment. If Jin Ye could survive, then after getting the hydrangea, the mystery of the identity of the first lady could be completely revealed.
After the woman carved the last copper coin, she carefully put the copper coin back in her hand. This action really attracted Jiang Cheng's attention, because this last copper coin did not belong to any of them, but the one left in the woman's hand.
The woman did not need to carry out the mission tonight. She left a copper coin and drew ghosts on the copper coin. What did she want to do?
Before Jiang Cheng could think about it, the woman suddenly changed into a different person. After twitching a few times, her face turned gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then she stood up and drove them away rudely.
She drove them out of the mourning hall all the way, and then slammed the door with a "bang".
Across the door, the woman screamed in a painful and angry voice: "Your range of activities tonight is only in the Marquis's Mansion. Once you leave the Marquis's Mansion, you will definitely die. And remember, don't think about going to the backyard of the Yin House. There are not only young ladies there, but also more terrible things!"
"Before dawn, before dawn, you must steal the hydrangea. I want to remind you that tomorrow's day will be very early, you must hurry up."
After these screams, there was no sound in the mourning hall. What was even more weird was that the candles in the mourning hall were also extinguished. They were not extinguished one by one, but in a very short time, almost all of them were extinguished in an instant. This weird scene really made everyone feel cold.
Looking at the silent and dark mourning hall, everything that happened just now seemed like an illusion, as if the so-called woman had never appeared at all, but Jiang Cheng reached into his pocket, and the copper coin in his pocket was real, telling that everything that happened just now was not an illusion.
Lu Qin and Shao Tong spoke at the same time, but Jiang Cheng and his men walked out quickly, not giving them a chance to speak, and their thoughts on guarding against them were already exposed.
As the door opened, most of the people outside had left, leaving only a young man who was either frozen or scared to death standing outside.
Seeing Jiang Cheng and his men coming out, the waiter came up to them as if he had found a life-saving straw. “Masters, you are finally out. General Yuwen asked me to tell you that you will have to work hard again tonight. Tonight, the Marquis is thinking of his relationship with the late Madam, so he will wait for good news from you masters outside the house built for her in the mansion.”
“By the way, General Yuwen also told me that the masters of the Tianshi Mansion said that the range of activities of you masters tonight is in the late Madam’s mansion. Do not go out. There may be important clues in the backyard of the mansion, which can be explored.”
“Also, it will take some time for you masters to display your magical powers. Please go back to the late Madam’s mansion to rest.”
After saying that, without giving Jiang Cheng a chance to ask questions, the waiter turned around and was about to run, but Yao Shunyu was quick and caught the waiter in one hand.
Yao Shunyu's hand was very strong, and the waiter grimaced in pain. Yao Shunyu stretched out his hand and said to the waiter: "You have been hiding your left hand in your sleeve and refused to take it out. What are you hiding?"
"No, nothing"
Seeing that the waiter was not honest, Yao Shunyu did not say anything more. He directly broke the waiter's left hand and took out a piece of lightning-struck wooden plaque with beautiful thundercloud patterns carved on it.
