The gatehouse of the Liang family is even more impressive than the small county government office.
There is a vermilion-lacquered gate, a stone lion townhouse, and white lanterns hanging on the left and right of the door.The white paper is extremely thick. When the wind blows, the shadows in the lanterns sway, as if someone is walking with their head down inside.
When Shen Qingluo arrived, the second uncle of the Liang family personally greeted her.
He was in his forties, wearing a brocade robe and a jade pendant around his waist. He had a smile on his face, but there was a circle of black and blue under his eyes.
It's like I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
"Miss Shen is finally here."
Uncle Liang stepped forward enthusiastically.
"Xuansi said that you are the best tombkeeper in Huaiyinpo. The Liang family has been in trouble these past few days, and they are all counting on you."
Shen Qingluo glanced at his extended hand.
"Deposit."
Uncle Liang smiled.
The butler quickly handed over the banknote.
Shen Qingluo took it, unfolded it on the spot, and looked at the watermark against the sky.
Uncle Liang's eyes twitched.
"Miss Shen, this is..."
"Check the money."
"The Liang family won't rely on this little money."
Shen Qingluo put away the banknotes.
"That's what people who want money say."
Ah Qing was hiding in the soul-inducing bell and almost laughed out loud.
Uncle Liang's face didn't look good, but he still endured it.
"Girl, you've been working hard all the way. Let's go to the house for a cup of tea first, and then go to the ancestral grave later. That thing only makes trouble at night, so you can't see anything during the day."
Shen Qingluo: "Look at the grave first."
"This..."
"I'm here to guard the tomb, not to drink tea."
Uncle Liang's smile froze.
After a moment, he slipped a small purse out of his sleeve and handed it to Shen Qingluo.
"Girl is young, and it's a good thing to have rules in doing things. It's just that my eldest brother was very resentful after his death and often came to disturb the house. If you see him causing trouble tonight, please just take it away without asking any questions."
Shen Qingluo looked at her purse.
"Hush money?"
Uncle Liang's face changed slightly.
"Girl is joking."
"I'm not laughing."
Shen Qingluo walked around the purse.
"Second Master Liang, I charge money to do things, but I won't close my eyes if I don't charge money. If ghosts harm people, I will accept them. If people harm ghosts, I will also investigate."
The enthusiasm in Uncle Liang's eyes completely cooled.
"Miss Shen, the Liang family spent a lot of money to invite you here, not to ask you to interrogate the Liang family."
Shen Qingluo turned around.
"Then you hired the wrong person."
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
The butler next to him quickly smoothed things over: "Second Master, we are still waiting at the ancestral graves. Why don't we take Miss Shen to have a look first?"
Uncle Liang took a deep breath.
"Okay."
The ancestral grave of the Liang family is in Crow Ridge in the north of the city.
Along the way, Uncle Liang was talking about Liang's parents' room.
He said that Uncle Liang Liang Zhengde was weak during his lifetime and was confused by illness before his death. He was often suspicious and said that someone was trying to harm him.Before the first seven days after death, the ancestors begin to cry in their graves. There is a strong wind at night, and the chickens and dogs in the house are restless.
He spoke smoothly.
It's as smooth as carrying it.
Shen Qingluo heard half of it and asked, "How long has Uncle Liang been dead?"
"Two months."
"How long have you been sick?"
