Chapter 160: Corpses on a Rainy Night
The heavy rain is pouring, the night is like splashing ink, even so, the dangerous breath that belongs to the beast still makes everyone instinctively take two steps back, as the distance closes, a white figure gradually becomes clear, it is Bai Yue, sure enough, it is Bai Yue, it is determined to be Bai Yue, everyone can't help but let go of two points of vigilance, although Bai Yue is a giant beast, but Shang Jue is here, there is a master in it must not dare to be presumptuous, and then there is a doubt in his heart, it seems that he has seen Bai Yue on the boat since the noon water festival, but he has not seen it since, the sinking ship is the one that sinks in the morning and evening, and Bai Yue was also in the cabin at that time, laterβ¦β¦
Later, there was chaos, and no one paid attention to where Bai Yue went, but he didn't want to appear here. If you love to play and watch, come to Lewen.com
The palace of the King of Shu is heavily guarded, where did Bai Yue go and where did she come from?
These questions arose instantly, but no one asked, Bai Yue is Shang Jue's pet, and it is okay to hurt Feng Nianzhi during the day, how can they say that it is not? Although the group of people did not dare to step forward and get too close, they were not very afraid, and their expressions were very ordinary, only Yang Lianxin, frowned when she saw that it was Bai Yue, it turned out to be this beast!
Wang Qing stood at the front of the steps in front of the Jiachen Palace, saw Bai Yue can't help but retreat, just took two steps back, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, Bai Yue was huge and snow-white, very handsome, but at this moment, there was a very obvious mark on his cheeks, as if he had been stained with something, and then looked closely, the mark turned out to be a crimson color!
"This ...... His Royal Highness...... Take a look at ......"
Originally, everyone let down their guard, and Wang Qing's expression changed slightly when he said that he was full of nervousness, but when he saw Wang Qing raising his hand and pointing in the direction of Bai Yue, he asked them to go to see Bai Yue. Bai Yue was already very close, so frightened that the guards and sedan bearers under the steps all got out of the way, and the closer it got, the crimson on his cheeks became more and more obvious, Shang Jue and Chaoxi almost saw it for the first time, they glanced at each other, and they took two steps under the steps, Bai Yue saw the two of them, but as if he was afraid of scaring the others, he walked to the bottom of the steps and stopped.
"Is that blood?!is it blood...... Oh my God......"
Yang Lianxin snorted softly, "It's ...... What did it just do?"
Everyone was already frightened, and Yang Lianxin's words made everyone's faces change greatly, it was blood, and it was still stained on their cheeks, and everyone almost immediately had a thought in their hearts!
Bai Yue just ...... Cannibalism?!
took two steps back in a row, and Wang Qing was the first to block in front of Feng Qin, "Be careful, the king." β
Yang Lianxin stood behind, and immediately said in a trembling voice, "This ...... This beast must have hurt someone in the palace, although he was the favorite of His Royal Highness...... Can...... There must have been more blood on it, and it didn't finish washing it off in the rain, so you can imagine...... Behold, O king, there is blood on its paws...... My God, I don't know who ......"
Yang Lianxin was sharp-eyed, and at the same time, Shang Jue and Chaoxi also saw that the rain was too heavy, they took two steps under the steps and did not go to the rain, but Bai Yue stopped in the rain and refused to come, but the two also saw the blood stains on Bai Yue's paws, but compared to Yang Lianxin, the two of them were much more indifferent, but they fell into contemplation at the same time.
Listening to Yang Lianxin's words, Fulan shook his head with some dissatisfaction, "Madame is too worried, Bai Yue will not take the initiative to hurt people, as long as others don't provoke it, people are afraid of it, it doesn't like to get along with people, although there are many people in this palace, but if it wants to avoid it, it still can't be discovered, there must be something strange about the blood on his body, whether it is human blood or not." β
Fu Lan and Luo Yuqiang stood together, naturally dissatisfied with Yang Lianxin's accusatory words, and as soon as Fu Lan's voice fell, Sun Zhao, who was standing at the end, walked straight into the rain, not only walked into the rain, but also walked to Bai Yue's side, everyone was startled by him like this, but Sun Zhao was not afraid at all and walked to Bai Yue, paused slightly, raised his hand and gently touched Bai Yue's cheeks, he was already wet, and he didn't care about the rain, but the entourage who was waiting outside saw this and hurriedly took an umbrella, he was still standing next to Bai Yue, his fingertips were a little red, twisted it lightly, sniffed it again, and then looked at everyone. "It's human blood. β
As soon as these words came out, they couldn't refute it, no matter what, Bai Yue was stained with human blood, where did someone stain it with blood?! Although what Fu Lan said also made some sense, but this matter can almost be seven or eight points certain, whether it is Bai Yue who is angry first or Bai Yue suddenly goes crazy, in short, Bai Yue hurt someone, but I don't know who hurt it.
The corners of Feng Qin's lips twitched, he was going to Changqiu Palace to rest, how could the well-behaved Yan Shizi's pet cause trouble again, involving human life, he had to ask more, such a late night, I don't know if it was the palace slave who suffered the ...... Forget it, it's just a palace slave, Feng Qin suppressed the depression in his heart, "His Royal Highness, this is ...... The Orphan Society sent someone to investigate and see what was going on...... But in the end, it's in the palace, since Bai Yue is back, why don't you let it follow you to invite the platform?"
As soon as he heard this, everyone knew that he wanted to make a big thing into a small thing.
didn't investigate where the blood on Bai Yue's body came from first, but just let Shang Jue take Bai Yue to invite the platform first, obviously even if he knew that Bai Yue had hurt someone, he didn't plan to investigate, and he couldn't deal with Bai Yue's guilt anymore, Sun Cen and Duan Lingyan raised their eyebrows at the same time, Duan Jinyi's lips slightly pulled out a sneer, and Yang Lianxin gritted his teeth and was full of unwillingness!
When Bai Yue hurt Feng Nianzhi in the daytime, she couldn't wait to peel Bai Yue's skin, and now Bai Yue has caused such a big disaster, it is a good time for her to pursue Bai Yue, but obviously, Feng Qin will not offend Shang Jue because of the lives of one or two palace people, she is not convinced, but she doesn't dare to say anything more at this time, the future is long, no matter how powerful Bai Yue is, he is just a beast.
Yang Lianxin was no longer convinced, and she could only hold back and think about making up for it in the future, only Sun Zhao, after hearing Feng Qin's words, squatted down to look at Bai Yue's paws, Bai Yue came all the way, most of the blood stains on the paws were washed away, only there were still a lot of residues between his fingers, he squatted down, just wanted to see more clearly through the palace lamp at the gate of Jiachen Palace.
Seeing that Sun Zhao looked like he wanted to find out, Feng Qin was secretly anxious in his heart, Shang Jue was still here, if he wanted to check, he had to wait for Shang Jue to leave, send a few people to search for it, see who it was, whether it was injured or dead, if it was dead, it would be buried, if it was not dead, it would be better to give more pensions to appease it, this is still a palace slave with a higher rank, and those low-level palace slaves don't care about life or death at all, anyway, they are worthless, so they should be sacrificed to Shang Jue's pet.
Thinking like this, Feng Qin wanted to stop Sun Zhao from looking any further, and was about to speak, but it was Shang Jue who spoke first, and what he said surprised everyone, he spoke to Sun Zhao, "Lord Tingwei, what do you think?"
Bai Yue can't speak, but Shang Jue knows Bai Yue very well, and Bai Yue is his favorite pet, how much can others believe what he says? Since this is the case, let this Tingwei Lord say Okay, Sun Zhao, who was looking down, didn't expect Shang Jue to ask him, raised his head, and saw Shang Jue and Chaoxi on the steps looking at him, the two stood with their backs to the palace lamp, their expressions were hidden in the shadows, but somehow, Sun Zhao felt that the eyes and expressions of the two of them were the same, in terms of their attitude towards Bai Yue, although the two did not say a word, but Sun Zhao felt that they must be thinking the same, even what he was doing now They also knew, and they knew that what he said was correct and could prove Bai Yue's innocenceγ
Sun Zhao's heart was a little complicated for a while, Chaoxi and Shang Jue trusted him at the moment, but this trust was based on complete insight and control, he seemed to be just a chess piece, and Shang Jue and Chaoxi knew that using him as a chess piece could make this game of chess look better, Sun Zhao retracted his gaze, and then stood up and opened his mouth, "It's human blood, but it's not Bai Yue's murder." β
As soon as Sun Zhao's words fell, Feng Qin and the others on the steps all changed their faces slightly, Shang Jue and Chaoxi still had faint expressions, and Fu Lan raised his eyebrows and snorted, as if to say Look at it, you will know that it is not Bai Yue, Yang Lian took a step forward in her heart, "What do you say?"
There was still distrust in her tone, and Sun Zhao continued, "Bai Yue came from elsewhere, but the blood stains on his body have not been washed away, in addition to his thick hair, but also because it is stained with the blood of a dead person, the blood of a dead person will coagulate, it may not be visible on its face, but there is a blood clot in its claws, Bai Yue should have smelled the blood before going, and then it was stained with blood." β
Sun Zhao's tone was gentle, and every word was full of convincing power, and he was originally a court lieutenant, he said so, where did others dare to refute a word? Yang Lian's heart moved her lips, and suddenly she had an idea, "It is also possible that it hurt people, until the person died and then touched it, so the blood stains on his body are condensed, after all, good people will not die......
Speaking of which, Bai Yue still felt that he had hurt someone, and he had already been killed by Bai Yue.
Yang Lianxin said this, Sun Zhao couldn't refute it for a while, how could there be a dead person in the palace? And Bai Yue has disappeared for so long, no one knows what it is doing, and the other people's faces are also grim, there is too much chaos today, and now there is only one dead person in the palace, that is, Yu Meiren, but Yu Meiren was drowned, and Bai Yue was not stained with Yu Meiren's blood, so that there were new dead people in the palace, which was simply ......
"Whether Bai Yue hurts people or not, just go and see if you know. β
Bai Yue was accused, Shang Jue was not angry, but his tone was two points lighter, and Fu Lan also laughed when he heard this, "That's right, isn't it Bai Yue hurting people to take a look, anyway, there are so many things happening today, it's not bad for this one, but I don't know who happened this time...... What a bad day today!"
If others say this, Feng Qin will definitely be furious, but it is Fu Lan who says this, so he can only be angry and endure it.
Shang Jue here had already looked at Bai Yue, "Bai Yue, lead the way." β
This is the place to find the dead!
Bai Yue was already a little uneasy when she appeared, and when she heard Shang Jue's words, she immediately roared in a low voice, although it was not a furious roar, but such a small sound was enough to shock people's lungs, everyone looked at Bai Yue and did not dare to approach, and Shang Jue looked left and right, and his eyes fell on the umbrella held by the attendant not far away, "It should not be far away, bring the umbrella." β
The matter has come to this, and no one has the heart to sit in the chariot sedan chair, Wang Qing shouted again, and some guards came forward to deliver umbrellas, Shang Jue opened a big umbrella, glanced at the morning and evening, and the two followed Bai Yue into the rain first.
Bai Yue walked in front, extremely fast, walked out for a while and stopped and turned to look at Shang Jue, and let out a low roar from time to time, I don't know whether it was nervous or excited, Shang Jue followed closely, hit most of the umbrella on Chaoxi, turned the palace road in front of Jiachen Palace, and saw that Bai Yue was actually going in the direction of Weiyang Lake, Weiyang Lake?
Shang Jue frowned slightly, and raised his eyebrows at the end of the day, and the group behind him also came with umbrellas, Feng Qin was supported by Duan Lingyan, and Wang Qing held an umbrella for the two of them, and said as he walked, "Wang, this seems to be the direction of Weiyang Lake." β
Weiyang Lake ...... Feng Qin's eyelids jumped, "What about Lin Ci, what's going on here in Weiyang Lake?"
Weiyang Lake was originally the most heavily guarded place, and there would be dead people here? Feng Qin walked in the rain very hard, the rain was too strong, and the skirt was wet after a few steps, plus the night cold was getting heavier and heavier, if it wasn't for Shang Jue's proposal to go and see, Feng Qin would not have taken this trip in person, but he had already walked halfway, and there was no reason to go back.
"Your Majesty, Commander Lin is investigating the palace ban, there are only people around the Weiyang Palace on this side of Weiyang Lake, and the guards in other places have been removed, Your Majesty, can you summon Commander Lin over?"
Wang Qing was clear, hearing this, Feng Qin shook his head, "No need, let's see what's going on first." β
After a pause, Feng Qin looked at Shang Jue in front of him again, "Shizi, can Bai Yue really take us to find it?"
Shang Jue bowed slightly, "Don't worry, the king will definitely be able to find it." β
Animals are already very sensitive to the smell of blood, plus Bai Yue has been there, so he can naturally find it, and after a while, the group walked to the front of the Weiyang Palace, the Weiyang Palace is still brightly lit, and as Wang Qing said, the Weiyang Palace is guarded on all sides, and the figures inside are longing, and the inquiries about the Tingwei Mansion are still continuing, Feng Qin's heart sank, this is probably the most powerful murder case since his reign, and even the highest-ranking marquis have become the object of questioning.
Weiyang Lake in the night rain is calmer than in the daytime, the wind is not as strong as the day, and there is only the sound of raindrops hitting the surface of the lake by Weiyang Lake at this moment...... Looking at the direction in which Bai Yue was going, everyone couldn't help but have two doubts in their hearts, Weiyang Lake was already north, but Bai Yue was still walking in the northeast direction of Weiyang Lake, and then went forward, it was Xiaoweiyang Lake, since it was very close to the invitation platform when it arrived at Xiaoweiyang Lake, could it be that something happened to the invitation platform?
Chaoxi frowned slightly, Shang Jue shook his head, "It won't be the invitation platform." β
Shang Jue left Yun Zhe on the invitation platform, with Yun Zhe here, it would never be easy to have an accident, and if something happened to someone Bai Yue was familiar with, it would not be so calm, and he was slightly relieved when he heard this, and Yang Lian was already cold in his heart.
"This way...... But the way to the invitation platform. β
"We just came from the invitation platform, but we didn't know something was going on over there. β
Fu Lan answered, and Yang Lianxin said again, "Then presumably Fu Lan Gongzi is not the same road. β
The palace road is winding and winding, and the road from the invitation platform to the Jiachen Hall is indeed not this one, and the way to go to the invitation platform after passing through the Weiyang Hall is a long way, is Bai Yue really going to the invitation platform?
Just thinking like this, Bai Yue's speed suddenly slowed down, and the group was still not far from Weiyang Lake, and they almost walked to a covered bridge, which was the end of Weiyang Lake, and then Xiao Weiyang, at the same time, Bai Yue suddenly roared twice in the direction of the covered bridge, and everyone was trembling at this roar, but Shang Jue looked in the direction of Bai Yue's roar.
Then the four words fell, "There it is." β
Whether Bai Yue hurt people or not, and who was hurt, only by going to the front can we discover the truth.
The covered bridge is built near the lake, there are a number of rockeries on both sides, and there are lotus leaf fields by the lake, but at this time the night is heavy rain, and the location here is also a little secluded and even the patrol guards are not, if someone dies here, it is really creepy.
"Go, send someone to the front to see ......"
Feng Qin quickly ordered, but it was Sun Zhao who walked out first.
Sun Zhao is the court lieutenant of Shu State, he is the most comfortable for this kind of scene, he and a few guards stepped forward together, the guards saw him come out, they took the initiative to take torches to light the way, four or five people, when the first towards the covered bridge, Shang Jue stood in place, and Bai Yue seemed to be a little excited and followed Sun Zhao to the front, the group first walked to the entrance of the covered bridge, but did not go in, paused, but went to the lake on the left side of the covered bridge, the ancient mountain stone is two people high, stacked and placed, there are weeping willows on both sides of the mountain stone, it is really a good scene from a distance, but it is full of blood in this stormy nightγ
The group walked straight behind the rock, there was no movement for a long time, and after a while, Sun Zhao walked out from behind the rock, and shouted from afar, "Return to the king, find the ......"
There are only these seven words, and nothing else, but these words are sure that there are indeed dead people.
Feng Qin chuckled in his heart, to be honest, he didn't want to see dead people again, no matter which palace slave was in the palace......
"If we find it, we'll leave it to the guards, we don't have to stay here for long. β
Feng Qin gave the order, but Sun Zhao in the distance was silent......
"Your Majesty, I think you must come and have a look. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were puzzled again, if it was an ordinary person who died, how could they let Feng Qin go over to take a look, so many people watched, although Feng Qin was the king of Shu, was he still afraid of a dead person?
Gritting his teeth, Feng Qin still walked towards the mountain stone, as soon as he left, the others had to follow, the heavy rain was too heavy, and the Taigu Stone had been flooded, Duan Lingyan helped Feng Qin to go around from the other side of the mountain stone, and saw the shocking sea of blood at a glance, Duan Lingyan gasped, and Feng Qin couldn't help but tremble.
The rest of the people also followed, seeing this, they all held their breath and couldn't bear to look at it again, Fu Lan took a look at it and then pulled Luo Yuqiang to the side, and said as he retreated, "You can't look at it, if you see her, she will look for you!"
The dead person was a woman, under the light of the torches, I don't know if she was wearing a green or blue dress, but she was a woman after all, and she was still wearing the most ordinary maid palace dress in the palace, at this moment the woman's hair was fluttering, lying face down, the crimson water of the lake was over her back, and it was impossible to see where her fatality was from the back, but everyone could see that she was missing a left hand, her left hand was broken at the shoulder, and most of the crimson under her body came from the wound on her shoulder......
Sun Cen and Duan Jinyi couldn't help retching when they stood over and saw it, and Yang Lianxin didn't dare to look at it anymore, Feng Yuan and Feng Yu looked at it twice, Feng Yuan sighed, "Which palace maid is this, how could she come to such a place, and look at this death, it looks like she was killed by a very vicious person, how could such a thing happen in the palace......"
How can an ordinary death specifically cut off a person's arm?
Feng Qin also turned his head, and he regretted coming here more and more...... Chaoxi and Shang Jue also looked over, just glanced at it, Shang Jue blocked Chaoxi's eyes, Chaoxi raised his eyes, and looked at Shang Jue inquiringly, is she still afraid of this meeting?
Shang Jue was still blocking her sight, but he shook his head firmly.
It's just not afraid, and there's so much to see.
There were two sighs in the bottom of Chaoxi's eyes, and he took the initiative to turn his gaze, and when he saw her like this, Shang Jue put down his hand.
Feng Yuan sighed, everyone was silent, usually the palace of the King of Shu was peaceful, and today, maybe because there were too many changes in the daytime, seeing such a bloody scene, the shock in everyone's hearts was not so strong, Feng Yu looked at the corpse a few more times, looked around again, and suddenly said, "What about her arm? Could it be somewhere else?"
The corpse lay face down, the wound on her shoulder soaked in water, and blood was still spilling outward, but her arm was not on the side of the body, and the torch could only be found, but the severed arm was not visible.
Wang Qing also looked around, and at the same time, Bai Yue, who followed over, suddenly jumped into the water and swam in the distance, everyone didn't know what it was going to do, Feng Qin gritted his teeth and said, "Since it's a palace maid, it's easy to do." β
The people present were all members of the royal family, except for Sun Zhao, but there were only a few guards, and the guards lowered their heads when they heard this, and no one dared to refute Feng Qin's words, as long as it was not a nobleman who died, it was naturally a straw mat and thrown out of the palace, how simple and neat.
Sun Zhao frowned, "Your Majesty, she's just afraid that she's not a palace maid......"
Feng Qin glanced at the corpse again, and the corpse was wearing ordinary palace maid clothes......
"Does Lord Tingwei recognize her?
The corpse was facing down, and no one could see the face, and Sun Zhao was delayed for a moment behind this just now, presumably he had already visited it for the first time, Wang Qing asked again, "Isn't it the slave of the family who followed the wives into the palace today?"
But then you won't be wearing the clothes of a palace servant......
Everyone was still puzzled, and Sun Zhao shook his head, "No." β
As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Feng Qin and the people around him, the people standing next to him were all members of the royal family, and his eyes actually had two solemn and compassionate meanings, several people were inexplicably looked at by his eyes, but they saw him suddenly leaning over and walking to the corpse, everyone breathed, and he was going to turn the corpse face down!
Sun Zhao hadn't made a move yet, but Bai Yue in the distance swam back, and the guard's torch shone into the distance, and Wang Qing was the first to find something wrong, "Look, he has something in his mouth......"
Everyone looked at it, and sure enough, they saw something in Bai Yue's mouth, what it was holding, it looked like a lotus root from a distance, and when it got closer, Sun Cen, who had been enduring it, suddenly spit out with a "wow" sound......
The ...... in Bai Yue's mouth It's that missing arm!
It was an arm, the sleeve was washed away, there was only a bare hand, and the guard took a torch to shine it, and everyone suddenly noticed that there was something in the man's hand, and when they looked closely, the back of the hand was wrapped in white veil......
Yang Lianxin subconsciously turned her head and glanced at it when Sun Cen spit it out, she was just really curious and planned to take a look, but seeing the white yarn wrapped around the back of the severed arm, she couldn't leave her sight for some reason, and at the same time, Sun Zhao leaned over and slowly turned the corpse over......
The body that was turned over finally revealed its face, but what was revealed was a shocking face, the woman's face was covered with blood, and what was even more terrifying was the two deep blood holes on her face!
Feng Nianrong couldn't help but scream and hid behind Duan Lingyan, Feng Yuan and Feng Yu couldn't help but turn their heads, Wang Qing couldn't bear to look at it anymore, Sun Cen stumbled back a few steps, Duan Jinyi suddenly closed his eyes and turned around, Shang Jue blocked Chaoxi's eyes again, everyone couldn't bear to look at it anymore, only Yang Lianxin, first stared at the broken arm in Bai Yue's mouth, and then slowly moved her gaze to the miserable corpse, she didn't have half an expression on her face, one moment, two moments, three moments......
Severed arms, ruined faces, gouged out eyes......
Suddenly, Yang Lian screamed hysterically!
