Chapter Forty-Nine: The Horror of the Cold Palace
Sure enough, it's the Northwest Expeditionary Army!
Twilight held the curtain, and there was a glimmer in her eyes.
She finally found out where she was!
These days, she has thought about it, it is not easy to leave Bianhe City, and the only thing she can borrow is the Northwest Army! Yuan Xiu, the commander of the Northwest Army, is the son of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has been an assistant for many years.
It's just that she has been in the palace for the past few days, even if she goes out of the palace, she has followed Bu Xihuan, and she has no chance to find out where the Northwest Expeditionary Army is, but when she entered the Beauty Division that day, she heard about the fight between the Northwest Army and the eunuchs of the Beauty Division, and vaguely heard that the Yamen of the Soldier Cao Zhifang Division and the Beauty Division were separated by three streets.
The three streets are the street of the Assassin's Mansion, but she entered the Assassin's Mansion twice through the back door, and she never found out where the Bing Cao Yamen was.
Twilight guessed that it might be to the west of the Thorn Mansion, and she walked from the east side of the Thorn Mansion when she entered and exited the palace, so she couldn't pass through. So she proposed to go to Chengnan Fuji to buy steamed buns this morning, turn around and walk East Street, and sure enough, she saw Bing Cao Yamen!
Most of the road at the entrance of the yamen was blocked, and the people were surrounding to see the excitement, and they didn't have to look at Duqing to know that it must be the conflict between the Beauty Division and the Northwest Army again.
The carriage stopped, and the servant went to give way to the crowd, and the scolding from the yamen had already entered the car.
The scolding was unbearable, most of them were in dialects, and a northwest accent was the highest, overshadowing everyone.
"Lao Tzu is in the northwest, and it is the head of the Hu people who cut off! You cut down the male roots of your own people, and eunuchs are eunuchs, no seeds! The man shouted a curse, and the people around him laughed, and the onlookers echoed indignantly.
The Northwest Army guards the country, and it is a wolf army in the minds of the people of Daxing, and the commander Yuan Xiu is a hero in the eyes of the people. The collection of beautiful men by the Beauty Division in the Northwest Expeditionary Office aroused not only the anger of the soldiers of the Northwest Army, but also the resentment of the people of Bianhe.
Twilight frowned, wondering why Bu Xihuan had allowed these eunuchs to be so nonsense.
Bu Xihuan melted into the cushion, and when Twilight turned his head to look, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, as if he hadn't heard the words outside, and a ray of morning light fell through the curtain between the man's eyebrows, and it was cold.
After a while, the little guy returned, and the carriage moved slowly. Twilight Qing held the curtain and did not fall, she always felt that the northwest accent sounded a little familiar, the carriage slowly passed behind the crowd, Twilight Qing looked in through the gap in the crowd, and saw a long table at the entrance of the yamen, a man standing on the table, with a beard on his face, which was a plain and rough appearance, but the military robe was lined with heroic and domineering people, only standing there, it seemed to let people see the northwest gale, the cold knife that kills.
Twilight was stunned, was it?
The man in the Spring and Autumn Gambling House who was won by her for three thousand taels of silver!
No wonder he felt that he was sitting like a soldier at the time, it turned out that he was really a general of the Northwest Army!
Her eyes moved slightly, and when the carriage passed the yamen, the curtain was placed, and when she turned her head back, her face was as usual, and she couldn't see anything unusual.
Bu Xihuan was still closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't speak again all the way. Twilight was not a man of many words, and the atmosphere in the carriage fell silent until she entered the palace.
Entering the palace or taking the road when I left the palace last night, I could see it more clearly in the morning, and Twilight saw two rows of guards standing outside the small door, and the guards saw that the carriage was not stopped, and Twilight knew that these people must be people who were happy to take a walk. Last night, she thought that she could try to get out of the palace from here in the future, but now it seems that it will not be ......
But fortunately, she still has a way.
The carriage stopped when it entered the small door, and when you got out of the car, you saw the deep palace alley, and the silent palace at night was still so quiet that no one heard the voice, and the blue sky and day showed a little dead air. Twilight Qing followed Bu Xihuan and turned around the palace alley and entered the palace gate, the morning breeze blew through the palace wall, blowing a little warm on people's faces, should have entered the palace, but Twilight's footsteps suddenly stopped!
Bu Xihuan walked in front, heard the footsteps behind him stop, and couldn't help but turn around, and saw Twilight standing outside the dilapidated temple gate, frowning.
"How?" Bu Xihuan walked back, "But I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't feel well?" ”
Twilight didn't answer, frowned and glanced at the yard, only looked up after a while, and asked, "Do you smell it?" ”
Bu Xihuan was stunned, "Huh? ”
"In this yard...... The smell is wrong! Twilight turned around and glanced at the courtyard in the direction the wind was blowing. She is professionally trained and has a very sensitive sense of smell, and she definitely didn't smell wrong just now, this wind is ...... There is a smell of * corpses!
The old hall yard does not grow grass, obviously someone takes care of it on weekdays, but the inside and outside of the hall is still dilapidated, there is moss in the green brick cracks in the yard, there is no small scene around, only an old jujube tree is planted in the corner of the courtyard wall, there is a hidden well behind the tree, the morning breeze blows through the branches, and the rancid smell that seems to come from that direction!
Twilight's gaze fell to the well, "There! ”
She walked over quickly, and saw that the well was covered with an ashlar lid, and on the edge there was a σ value of Mu Yuding, Kgu Huang, tired rammer, and a broken bottle, a cherry blossom, a toad, a toad, a scarf, a ∩, a × a a stagnation,
But the manhole cover has been pushed open, and the morning sun shines obliquely into it, shining a white face!
The corpse was buried in the earth, only the face was exposed, but the face was gone, and it was covered with wriggling maggots, telling the resentment of the tragic death in a terrifying silent appearance.
"Don't look at it." Bu Xihuan said lightly behind Twilight.
"No way!" Twilight Qing didn't look back, stared at the corpse and said, "You need to check, is the Qi Meiren who was beaten into the cold palace by you the night I entered the palace still there?" ”
There was no sound behind him, only the hand holding Twilight Qing paused slightly.
"Do you see the sleeves of your coat peeking out of the dirt? It's the same material as the robe on my body, it's weft brocade! The person wearing such gorgeous clothes must be a noble person in your palace, but if the person is gone, the palace people should always come to report you. If you don't know, there is only one possibility, this person may be a person from the cold palace. But the concubines of the cold palace are according to the rules in the palace, so they shouldn't have such a high level of support, right? The only possible speculation is that this person has just entered the cold palace! The night I entered the palace was two days ago, and you sent a Qi beauty into the cold palace. ”
"This man only has his face exposed, and the cause of death cannot be inferred, but his face is very wrong! Flyflies prefer to lay eggs in dark, damp places, and after death, if the face is exposed, the nose, eyes, ears and mouth become excellent spawning grounds, and maggots will eat these parts first. But this face, all parts seem to have been eaten, and the wound is also where the fly's favorite egg lays, this face looks like it was destroyed before it died! ”
"Also, the height of this well is wrong! Visually only two meters, how can there be such a shallow well? I could go down and clean up this corpse and find someone to rummage through the dirt underneath, there should be something else underneath!" ”
Twilight said to herself, she hadn't heard anyone respond for a long time, and then she turned around and saw Bu Xihuan looking at her, and when he saw her looking, he smiled helplessly, "You're really the smartest woman I've ever seen." ”
Twilight was stunned, feeling that he was too calm, and she sighed in her heart, and her face changed, "You...... Know? ”——
