C93 The Ancestral Land of the Zhao Family
Lau Yu's series of questions caused the Zhao Family Master to be stunned. He had thought that Lau Yu would be difficult to serve, after all, the last outer sect disciple that came last time was arrogant and despotic, serving him well while eating and sleeping. He was not satisfied with this, not satisfied with it.
Zhao Family up and down did not dare to say anything, to the point of thinking that the disappearance of this outer sect disciple was a good thing, but Lau Yu seemed to be much easier to negotiate with.
Not clear about Lau Yu's temper, the Zhao Family Master did not dare to hesitate and replied: "This started about half a month ago, and disappeared for three people yesterday. Up until now, there are almost thirty people who have disappeared, and there are only two hundred plus people in my Zhao Family, from top to bottom, including the servants and servants. As for the abnormality, there is nothing about it. It's all of a sudden, it disappeared without a trace. "
"Oh?" Lau Yu became slightly more serious. To be able to cause a person to disappear without a trace in such a big house with a Grade Four Martial Master in charge of it, it was not a simple matter.
"Who are the people who have disappeared? Have you summarized their characteristics before?" Lau Yu continued to ask.
Zhao Qin nodded and said, "Of course, I found out that most of the people who disappeared were young men and women. There's only one over forty years old."
Nodding, Lau Yu guessed that the person in the dark was probably only targeting the young man and woman. As for the person over 40 disappearing, it was probably because they found out something and were silenced.
"Is this every day someone disappears? Or would someone disappear in a day or two? Have you responded in any way? " Lau Yu asked with a strong interest.
"Almost every single day, there will be people disappearing. Every time I start to count the number of people remaining in my Zhao Family, I feel like not counting it at all because I know that another person is about to disappear. As for the countermeasures taken against them, I just want them to stay in the same room with three people even if they have to sleep. " The Zhao Family Master said in a bit of a pained tone. It was clear that the experiences they had during this period of time were like a nightmare to him.
Inwardly nodding his head, Lau Yu was waiting for Zhao Qin to show up after he arranged a place for him to stay as he was not in a good state.
Oh?" Lau Yu became slightly more serious. To be able to cause a person to disappear without a trace in such a big house with a Grade Four Martial Master in charge of it, it was not a simple matter.
It was getting late in the night, but Lau Yu did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. Listening to Zhao Qin's narration, Lau Yu knew that this guy who hid in the dark and waited for an opportunity to make his move would usually only take action at night.
The whole Residence of Zhao was quiet. There was not a single sound. Lau Yu had a keen spiritual sense, and he could even hear the flapping of a moth's wings.
A shadow seemed to pass by Lau Yu's window. Lau Yu got up suddenly, but Lau Yu thought it was just an illusion. If there really was a shadow passing in front of him, Lau Yu wouldn't be able to notice it at all. However, for safety's sake, Lau Yu still decided to take a look.
After circling around the residence, he did not find anything. Just as he was about to return to the residence, he realized that Zhao Qin was hurriedly running towards him. Lau Yu had already made a guess.
Sure enough, Zhao Qin hurried over and said in a pained voice, "Brother Liu, just now, another person from our Zhao Family disappeared."
"Oh?" Lau Yu's heart skipped a beat as he asked, "Which room do they live in?"
He pointed to a place not far away from the opposite side and said, "That's where a nephew of mine lives. However, his two servants are still alive and unharmed even after he disappeared. If it wasn't for them noticing that my nephew has disappeared, I'm afraid they would only know about it tomorrow."
Lau Yu nodded, but he was deep in thought. He pointed to the place where he had seen the shadow pass by and asked, "Who lives there?"
Zhao Qin was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Over there, it's where this old man lives."
Nodding, Lau Yu continued to ask, "These corpses have disappeared into thin air. It's not that easy to find them. Think about it carefully. Is there any place that you haven't found them?"
Zhao Qin fell into deep thought. He shook his head and said, "The entire Zhao Mansion has been searched. Even the ground has been rummaged through. There are no clues. I think these people must have been moved outside."
At this moment, Lau Yu noticed that the butler behind Zhao Qin seemed to have something to say. He couldn't help but ask, "Old steward, do you have something to say?"
The old housekeeper was surprised for a moment and then said uncertainly, "I remember there is a place that we haven't searched, but it shouldn't be used to store corpses, right?"
Zhao Qin's expression changed, but Lau Yu knew what the old butler said was true. Lau Yu couldn't help but look at Zhao Qin.
Zhao Qin smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, there is one place that we haven't searched. However, that is the place where our ancestors lived. We didn't want to disturb his rest." There are usually people cleaning the place. However, during this period of time, people are panicking and do not go to look. It might actually be possible that there are corpses hidden there. "
Lau Yu naturally understood who the ancestor was, so it must be the place where the Martial Grandmaster lived. However, in order to catch the real culprit, he couldn't care less if the person who disappeared was hidden there.
"Please lead the way, Master Zhao Family." "Lau Yu's attitude was a bit tough. Plus, he had some guesses about the situation, but he was not able to connect the dots. It made him a little irritable. It was understandable for him to have such a tone.
Zhao Qin thought that Lau Yu was angry that he had hidden such an important information, so he was angry. Of course, he did not dare to disobey and hurriedly brought Lau Yu towards the ancestral residence.
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Zhao Qin stopped and said to Lau Yu, "Brother Liu, although I promised you that I could enter the ancestral residence, my servants are not allowed to enter."
Lau Yu looked at Zhao Qin with a meaningful look, making Zhao Qin feel weak. He then said, "Go on in."
After entering the yard, the door was pushed open. Zhao Qin was shocked and said in shock: "This … This …"
When Lau Yu saw the scene in front of his eyes, he also felt uncomfortable. The corpses here had all turned into mummified corpses. There was only a layer of skin left on them, as if they had died decades ago in a dry place.
