Strings of tiny bubbles rose from the silt, stirring the top layer of sediment, and the originally clear bottom of the river gradually became turbid, as if it was covered with a layer of earthy yellow gauze.
The fish sleeping at the bottom of the river were the first to notice that something was wrong, and they left in droves with their tails, leaving the place for the creature of another world.
"Whoa."
The mud and sand suddenly splashed and bounced off a boulder that had been crushed to the bottom of the river, shattered into several pieces, and staggered in the water for a while before sinking back to the bottom.
A dark blue figure sprang out from the boulder's original position, it was fixed in the middle of the river, like a crystal clear amber, however, it didn't take long for its head to shake from side to side a few times, and a pair of wings also flapped with it, stirring up water ripples in the river.
Soon, Jingwei regained his grip on the darkness at the bottom of the river, let out an inaudible chirp, swayed slightly along the current, and suddenly plunged headlong into the dark ravine in front of him like an off-string arrow.
Cheng Muyou sat at the table, with a blank piece of paper in front of him, and there were only a few words on the paper: Father's knees.
He had been sitting on the paper for several hours, but the pen had been lifted and lifted and lifted, and he could not continue the letter with only the title.
Finally, he stood up, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground, the sky outside the window was bright, and the morning glow crawled all over the sky little by little, looking out through the window, his heart suddenly brightened: even if his father replied and said that he would not let himself take care of the affairs of the palace, did he really care?
What about military supervisors?
What about Uncle Guo?
Behind Wang Jixun, but there are more than 200 lives of the Han family, are these unjustly killed souls not as heavy as the black gauze hat on his head?
Cheng Muyou smiled, the big stone that had been pressed in his heart for a long time seemed to be gone in an instant, he paced to the door with a sigh of relief, pushed it away, and let the spring color of the garden reflect into the study.
There was a sound of "dong dong" footsteps outside, and after a while, the figures of Liu Xuzhu and Jiang Xixi appeared in the corridor, the two walked in a hurry, obviously they heard something amazing, Cheng Muyou stared at them, and said silently in his heart: What should come will always come, even if it is a full nine years late.
Wang Jixun, this time, I will never let you slip through the net again.
Swallowing all the tea in front of them in one go, Liu Xuzhi and Jiang Xixi wiped their mouths, and scrambled to tell Cheng Muyou what they saw in the palace, seeing that Jiang Xixi was so anxious that her face was red, Liu Xuzhi gently patted the back of her hand, "You talk first, tell Brother Cheng all the illusions you saw in the palace." ” Jiang Xixi sniffed and told everything about the matter, and at the end, she said, "My lord, the bloody case that Wang Jixun is carrying is not only the Han Mansion, he eats people, he calls human flesh to think about meat, which means that after eating once, he will think about the next time, and the aftertaste is endless, and he will never forget it." ” Cheng Muyou's face turned pale, "I originally thought that in a year of famine, people would have to eat their own kind, but I didn't expect that there would be such a demon king in the world, and it was really a crime to eat people for fun."
He looked at Jiang Xixi, "Did Wang Jixun find you?"
” Jiang Xixi shook his head, "We ran fast and were not injured by his men, but after this incident, he should be more vigilant, if he wants to enter the palace again, I am afraid it will be even more difficult." ” "Has Wang Jixun ever talked about the Han family?
Where did he get the corpses of the Han family?
” Liu Xujiao stood up and looked at Cheng Muyou with a solemn expression, "I haven't heard him mention this, but when I went to the backyard, those guests also left one by one, and Wang Jixun continued to drink and eat meat alone. ” "What is it?"
"He said: There is no physical evidence, one of the human witnesses is dead, the other is crazy, if anyone wants to overturn the case, it is simply a fool's dream."
Cheng Muyou stood up, his fingers clenched the corner of the table, "One is dead, and the other is crazy?"
Isn't the crazy one Qin Yingbao?
So who is the one who died?
” was contemplating and thinking, and suddenly a servant came to report outside the door: "My lord, the people from Qifenglou came to report the case, saying that Aunt Hua was killed." ” When the group arrived at Qifenglou, there was chaos inside, from the girl who was a little famous, to the grandmother, all of them were competing for the treasures in the building and the private property of Aunt Hua, and a few even fought for a few taels of silver, pulling their hair, pulling their clothes, and making Qifenglou a boil. is the most arrogant one on weekdays, but today it has become the quietest existence, Aunt Hua, this woman who has been publicized all her life, lying quietly in her courtyard, her eyes wide, looking at this world that she can no longer participate in.
Cheng Muyou stared at the chaotic scene in front of him, and whispered to Shi Fei beside him: "Maintain order, tell them that they will not get less than what they deserve, as for what to do next, the government will also plan for them, so that they don't take advantage of the chaos." ” Shi Fei answered, and went down with a few servants, and Cheng Muyou came to Aunt Hua's corpse with Jiang Xixi and Liu Xujiao, and squatted down lightly beside her.
There are three obvious finger marks on the neck of the birch girl, purple red, which looks particularly scary against the background of the fat powder.
Jiang Xixi stretched out his hand and touched the top of her neck, and turned his head to look at Cheng Muyou, "My lord, she was strangled to death, and her bones were broken." ” Cheng Muyou sneered, "Kill people, Wang Jixun, in order to protect yourself, you really do anything." ” Liu Xujiao looked around and sighed softly, "There is so much chaos here, the clues that should have been left have been destroyed, and there is no evidence of Wang Jixun's murder, if you want to convict him based on Aunt Hua's death, I'm afraid it's impossible." ” "Even if the scene is not destroyed, it is impossible for us to find out that he is involved in this matter, even if it is to extinguish the mouth, it is impossible for him to leave any clues, presumably, the person who killed the person must be a peerless master, so that he can take the life of Aunt Hua unknowingly."
Jiang Xixi didn't speak, she stared at Aunt Hua's corpse, and the illusion she saw in the palace last night once again appeared in her mind, those women fell on the ground and cried mournfully, those who heard were shocked, and those who saw were moved.
"My lord, I suddenly thought of one thing, the reason why Hua Gu was killed may not only be because she was a participant in the Hanmen bloodbath, but she may also be involved in another case."
"How?"
"The old man of Qifenglou once said that many girls disappeared inexplicably many years ago, and I think that these girls were sent to the palace by Aunt Hua as a gift from her to Wang Jixun."
