When the mother-in-law heard that the general arranged for her to go back to pack her things, she knew that she had avoided today's catastrophe, and she secretly sighed, just about to turn around and leave. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Suddenly, I heard someone running towards here quickly, shouting in a panic as he ran: "Oh no, no! Killed! ā
Everyone who heard this sentence couldn't help but turn their heads, and a few even couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter?" What happened? ā
In the crowd of people who were confused and didn't know what was happening, the mother-in-law's expression was very calm. She had already anticipated that the reason for the news from the soldiers was that her hidden body had been found. Although she didn't expect to be discovered so soon, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that although her previous arrangement was short, it was very thorough, and there was no flaw that would suspect her, so her expression was very calm, and no one was suspicious.
"Just now, someone went to the north tent to pack up his things, and suddenly smelled a smell of human blood, because it was dark, so he took a few people with torches to look, and sure enough, he found a soldier who had been killed in the debris behind a tent. At this time, he should have been killed for no more than half an hour, because his body was not completely stiff, and there was still a hot breath in his chest. ā
"And this kind of thing!" The generals were shocked when they heard the news. The people around him also immediately exploded and began to talk about it.
The mother-in-law looked at the people around her who were chattering in disbelief, and thought in her heart that she would find an opportunity to go unnoticed for a while, and quickly slip away, after all, at this time, the farther away from these people, the safer it would be for her. When she is alone, she can also eliminate the clues she left behind, so as not to give others a chance to doubt herself.
Just as she quietly moved her steps and slowly flashed out of the crowd, someone next to the general suddenly shouted: "Half an hour ago, the worship priest suddenly rode a horse to the outside of the barracks, the speed was very fast, and it also knocked over several people, as if fleeing for his life." Don't you think this is an anomaly? Could it be that the killing of soldiers is related to the prostration sacrifice? ā
After this person's reminder, everyone really felt that the prostration sacrifice must be related to the killing of the soldiers, otherwise what would she run? In addition, the people of Akatani were already wary of the people of the Central Plains, and in this incident, it was the people of the Central Plains who fled and the people of Akatani who died, which made them put their suspicions on Yunyang's body without much analysis.
So the general looked around, and then said to the mother-in-law who had retreated to the edge of the crowd: "You, come here!" ā
The mother-in-law's heart trembled, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, but she still stood still.
The general beckoned to her to hurry up.
The mother-in-law hesitated, because she didn't know if she had revealed any flaws, which made people see the clues. For a moment, the mother-in-law even wanted to turn around and run away regardless of it, but she resisted the urge to run away inexplicably in full view of everyone, which was tantamount to indirectly admitting that she had anything to do with the murder. So whatever greeted her, she had to take it head-on.
"Hey, the one who waits for the prostration is calling you!" When the general saw that the mother-in-law was moving slowly, but he couldn't walk a little way, he began to be impatient.
"Back to the general," the mother-in-law finally walked up to the general, and said cautiously, "I have not been able to move my legs and feet, so I have kept you waiting for a long time." ā
The general waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, since the time of this murder is close to the time when the prostration sacrifice left the barracks, the suspicion of prostration cannot be ruled out." Now that the prostration sacrifice has gone, the Great Khan has gone after her, and even if she does, she may not be able to come back soon. So I can only ask you who have been staying by the side of the prostration. ā
When the mother-in-law heard this, her heart that had been hanging for a long time was put down.
Since she was called out of Yunyang's tent, she felt that her murder was unlucky, so she thought in her heart that the cleaner she would pick up the disappearance of the soldiers, the better, and it was better to act as if she was completely unaware of it.
But now that the soldier's body has been found, the mother-in-law still pretends to be ruthless, which may arouse the disgust and suspicion of the garrison generals even more.
That's it, don't do anything, since it's come to this point, I'm afraid she can't get mixed up if she blindly pretends to be stupid. Her best choice at the moment is to push everything on Yunyang, after all, Yunyang is not present now and can't argue for herself, so all assumptions are valid.
Coupled with the fact that Yunyang was originally from the Central Plains, and the deceased was from Chigu, everyone's indignation against Daqi rose to a new height. Someone kept standing up and saying: "The Daqi people are the best at engaging in some intrigues and tricks, and we Akatani people are always unable to guard against it." ā
At this time, a soldier who had been taken care of by Yunyang stood up: "Even if the Daqi people engage in a conspiracy, what does this have to do with the prostration and sacrifice." Do not press anything on the prostration. She once ventured to the shores of the Stygian Lake for us Akaya people, and almost lost her life. I can't forget these blessings. ā
The general looked at the person who spoke for Yunyang, and did not express any more opinions, but just instructed the mother-in-law in her ear.
"You have to remember that you are from Akatani, and you can't turn your elbows out." The general finally spoke in a voice so low that only one could hear him.
The mother-in-law will really understand the meaning of the general, he is actually suspicious of the sacrifice in his heart, but it is not convenient to say it, so he asked the mother-in-law to recall it well, find the suspicious things in Yunyang's usual life as evidence, and put the killing of the soldier on Yunyang's body.
I really didn't expect things to develop like this. The mother-in-law was still worried that after the soldier's body was discovered, people would focus their suspicions on herself, so she deliberately wanted to make it seem that she had nothing to do with it.
But now it seems that without her effort, the generals did not regard her as an object of suspicion at all, because in their hearts, the concept that Yunyang was a foreigner was deeply rooted. No matter how many good things she has done for the people of Akatani, when it comes to this time, no matter whether she is wrong or not, she will always be the one who will bear the black pot.
Since someone was going to carry the black pot for herself, the mother-in-law's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and she nodded vigorously: "If that's the case, the prostration sacrifice has indeed been a bit strange recently. ā
As soon as the mother-in-law said this, everyone stopped and looked at the mother-in-law intently, not knowing what secret she would tell about the prostration sacrifice.
Seeing that it was easy to attract everyone's attention to her side, the mother-in-law was even more excited.
