Chapter 301: Forbidden Art (5)
Fu Li didn't think much about it at the time, and only when she opened her mouth did she feel that it was inappropriate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis pair of jade buckles is called "Mandarin Duck Buckle", and it was once owned by a pair of Taoist couples, and the two of them are masters and apprentices, so they can't say anything. What's more, now that Jin'er is older, it's just a matter of being a child, and now it's ......
Therefore, he suddenly changed his mouth and temporarily replaced the word "mandarin duck" with "and tied".
Fu Li explained himself like this in his heart, but deliberately ignored the subtle strangeness that arose at that moment. For a moment, he was even so embarrassed that he was almost flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly into Jinhuang's clear eyes. Even he didn't notice it, he cared too much, if he really didn't have any distractions, why bothered with it.
Jin Huang didn't know what was going on in his heart. She stood up and stood facing outboard, the white smoke cloud on her side went up at a rapid speed, the magic weapon gradually approached the ground, the whole picture of Yingzhou quickly shrank, and the noise and noise continued to drill into her ears.
Yingzhou has arrived.
The two of them got off the magic weapon one after another and walked slowly towards the city gate. At noon, Yingzhou City is full of people, and it is not lively.
Before the magic weapon, Fu Li and Jin Huang both made some adjustments to their appearance, so that they no longer stood out from the crowd. However, when the two were inspected in the city, they still attracted a lot of attention.
Yingzhou was originally only a small county town, but later it was widely spread because of the fact that "Yingzhou is rich in brocade and was specially selected as a tribute by the royal family", and later included several small counties around it, and gradually expanded into what it is today.
The Si family has a special workshop for collecting brocade in Yingzhou, and Fu Li and Jinhuang originally wanted to go to this workshop to check, but they unexpectedly encountered a strange thing on the way, which led them over.
That strange thing has almost spread all over the streets and alleys of Yingzhou, so the two of them got to know each other without much effort.
It started with a woman who quarreled with her father-in-law and went back to her parents' house in a fit of rage. When he came back a few days later, he found that his husband was gone. The woman inquired everywhere and searched, but still had no clue, so she went to the yamen to report the case. As a result, when I arrived at the yamen, I found that there was also a woman complaining, and it turned out that her husband had also been missing for more than ten days.
The matter did not end there, as the yamen's officers visited and searched, they found that more and more people were missing, not only young men, but also some women.
At this time, the yamen realized that the matter was far more serious than they had imagined, so they dispatched all the officials and servants to investigate, but instead of finding the missing people, several others were missing. This case is also the biggest and most murderous unsolved case in Yingzhou today.
When Fu Li and Jinhuang entered the city, they happened to meet a group of people who were marching towards the city violently, and when they asked, they learned that it was the family members of the missing person who were preparing to go to the yamen for the third time to beat the drum and voice the grievances.
As soon as the two of them heard that someone was missing, they intuitively knew that the matter was related to the person who tried to restart the blood sacrifice, and they were absolutely certain when they heard it. It's just that they didn't expect that the people behind the scenes would act so rampantly, and they didn't know how to restrain themselves, which made everyone in Yingzhou know.
Seeing a group of people going to the secular mansion in a menacing manner, Fu Li and Jin Huang mingled in without thinking about it, hoping to hear some useful information.
The government was built in the middle of the city, and the crowd arrived in a few moments. When a group of people saw the two stone lions in front of the palace, they rushed over, but before they could step through the gate, they were blocked by the messengers who had rushed to hear the news.
The people outside wanted to rush in, but the people inside blocked the door and didn't let them in, and the two compartments were in a stalemate, sticking to each other, and shouting and shouting unusually loudly.
Jin Huang and Fu Li are both deaf and clear-sighted people, even if they don't get close, they can hear clearly what the two parties are arguing about. I didn't get any useful information for a while.
Jinhuang looked around, and saw a tea house on the opposite side of the government and on the other side of the road. The southwest side is against the wall, the east side is blocked by the wind, only the north side is open, facing the direction of the government, there is no use to cover the head, the noon sun shines down, and because there is no wind today, it is warm and melting, but it is a good place to go.
She leaned closer to Fu Li and whispered "Master", and then gestured with her eyes to look in the direction of the tea house. Fu Li nodded knowingly, and the two of them squeezed out the crowd and walked towards the tea house.
Originally, the business of this tea house was very prosperous, and I didn't want the government office opposite to make such a fuss, and the merchants who were resting inside were attracted to the past, but at this moment it was deserted.
The two Jinhuang walked over, and the guys inside greeted them with a smile on their faces, and warmly greeted the two of them. Although the two of them have made some changes in their appearances, their all-round bearing cannot be concealed. The guys in this tea house are people who are accustomed to observing words and feelings, and when they look at the appearance of the two, they know that they are not ordinary people, where do they dare to slack off. Pulled the rag hanging from his shoulder, wiped the table and stool back and forth several times, and then let the two of them sit down.
Jin Huang and Fu Li asked for a pot of coarse tea, and they paid attention to the movement at the entrance of the yamen while sipping it.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the guy who was diligently wiping the table and stool, Jinhuang's heart moved, and he said, "Little brother, this ......" raised his chin and signaled to the crowd at the entrance of the yamen, "What's the matter? Why are so many people around?"
Hearing this, the tea house guy stopped what he was doing and asked, "The two distinguished guests are foreigners, right?"
Jinhuang nodded, "We came from the north, the city we entered." ā
"That's not surprising. The guy simply stopped what he was doing and continued: "The two of you don't know that something big happened in Yingzhou. In the past little over a month, more than 50 people have gone missing one after another. So far, there has been no news, no one alive or dead, no corpse. After that, he shook his head and sighed heavily, picked up the rag and wiped it again, "These, it's the families of those missing people who are messing with the official!"
"But what's the use of making trouble? It's really a sin, I've been checking for more than half a month, and I haven't even found a figure. At the mention of this stubble, this guy seemed to open the chatterbox, and he rushed out, "I see, it is better to invite a respected Taoist to come, maybe there is still some clue." ā
Jin Huang and Fu Li looked at each other.
"Oh, what do you say, little brother?" Jin Huang turned around, as if he had been greatly aroused.
Seeing that the two of them were very interested, the guy also became excited, and said with a look of "you outsiders don't know what's going on": "You think, more than 50 people have disappeared in a row for the rest of the month, can this be done by ordinary people? How can ordinary people have this ability? It must be that ......" Speaking of this, he deliberately lowered his voice, approached the two and continued sneakily: "What is going on!"
"Let me tell you, the nephew of the uncle of the Ergouzi family next door to me works as a cook in the yamen, and I heard with my own ears those officials and old men say that it was the evil who is doing it! Those who disappeared have long since died, and even the corpses are gone!" The guy chattered mysteriously, with a smug expression on his face that had mastered the secrets.
