Chapter 135: Killing
watched Ji Changge make a list of Dao Gu who were not in the list overnight, and screened the ages of these Dao Gu, and eliminated those who were too old, and put the whereabouts of those Dao Gu aside for the time being, and first found out who the eight corpses in the pit were.
Mingxin and Mingyuan looked at Ji Changge a little flustered, not knowing what Ji Changge was looking for her.
"The two Taoist masters have been in the temple for more than 20 years, and they must have a deep understanding of the people and things in the Taoist temple, so this official needs the assistance of the two of them in some things." Ji Changge looked at Mingxin and said from afar.
Mingxin and Mingyuan nodded again and again: "My lord, just give orders." ”
"Do you still have any impressions of these names?" Ji Changge put the roster of people in his hand who was no longer in the Taoist temple in front of Mingxin and Mingyuan.
Looking at the familiar names in the roster, the faces of the two were also a little moved.
"Yes, these were once our senior sisters and sisters in the Taoist temple." Mingxin Dao.
"Do you know where they've gone?" Ji Changge asked.
The two shook their heads, and Mingyuan said: "It is said that some have returned to the customs, some have escaped, and some have disappeared without knowing when." ”
"The new people come, the old people go, it's been a long time, and we can't remember it clearly." Mingxin continued.
"You come with me." Wen Jing said to the two of them.
Looking at the eight white bones neatly arranged on the ground, Mingxin and Mingyuan were startled, but they didn't show that they were too frightened, after all, they were a lot old, and they had seen all the scenes, after the last Ming and Qing Dynasty and Qingliu incidents, the white bones were relatively speaking. It's not scary anymore, it's just a bit of a lot.
"This smallest skeleton, I checked it, she should be the youngest Taoist aunt in the Taoist temple, she was sent here at the age of eleven, you should have an impression of her, right?" Wen Jing looked at the two of them.
Mingxin and Mingyuan glanced at each other, their eyes flickered a little, and when the two of them looked at me and I looked at you, they didn't seem to be willing to speak first.
Ji Changge looked at the two of them and must know something: "Say whatever you know." People are dead. No one will think of you. ”
Mingxin paused and said, "We all call this little girl smile, what her real name is, Poor Dao doesn't know." The little girl came less than two weeks after she went. Reputedly...... She is the illegitimate daughter of a high-ranking official in the court. was sent here by the housewife, I never thought that I was young. Just like that, the poor road was ...... at that time Watch her die. ”
"How did she die?" Wen Jing looked at Ming Xindao.
Mingxin suddenly fell silent and stopped talking.
"Say!" Ji Changge shouted, and Mingxin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
"Yes...... It was ...... by the senior sister of the Ming and Qing dynasties Covered to death. Mingxin trembled.
"At that time, the child was starved for several days, and he was powerless to resist, and his hands and feet kept scratching and kicking, and after a while, he did not move."
Ji Changge was shocked after hearing this: "Is this a Taoist temple or a hell on earth?" ”
"It's really hateful, there is such a dirty place hidden under the feet of the Son of Heaven, this ...... Uncle Ben must find out the truth and return the innocence of the wronged dead! ”
When Mingxin and Mingyuan heard this, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly cried and shouted: "My lord Mingcha, the poor Dao is just greedy for some small money, and he has never harmed people's lives, and every qiē is done by the senior sister of the Ming and Qing Dynasties." ”
Ji Changge sneered: "The accomplice and the mastermind are guilty of the same crime, you two watched a little lady who was only twelve years old being killed, how can you bear it?" ”
"We can't stop it if we want to, my lord, usually this Taoist temple is the final say of Senior Sister Ming and Qing Dynasties, we just follow her to get some remaining oil and water, and if we want to stay in this Taoist temple, we can only listen to them." Mingyuan cried a handful of snot and tears, which was very miserable.
"They?" Wen Jing stared at Ming Yuandao.
"Senior Sister Ming Qingqing said that she also did what the Lord would do." Mingyuan lowered his head and said.
"What other evil deeds have you done besides murder?"
"There is nothing else, my lord knows it, we dare not lie even if we have a hundred guts!" Mingyuan and Mingxin kowtowed like pounding garlic, for fear of being beheaded after the autumn.
Looking at Ming Xin and Ming Yuan's trembling appearance, it doesn't look like they're lying, I'm afraid it's just some cheating, abduction, and abuse of Dao Gu, Ji Changge thought.
"If you don't want to taste the taste of prison, think about it, and if you are guilty of meritorious service, the official can consider a lenient sentence, otherwise"
Looking at the faint smile circled at the corner of Ji Changge's mouth, Mingxin and Mingyuan couldn't help but tremble, otherwise they would naturally understand the words later.
"Yes, yes, we can do whatever we want us to do."
"This oldest corpse should be the master of the Ming Yan Dao, that is, the master of Feng Guan Lord, the rest of the missing people are in the past ten years, only this Ming Yan Dao Chief has died a long time ago, do you remember how the Ming Yan Dao Elder died?" Wen Jing looked at the two of them.
Ming Yuan thought for a while, and said: "Mingyan Patriarch ascended to the immortal for about 20 years, at that time we were still just arrived in the view of the little Taoist aunt, Mingyan patriarch has always been very easy-going, and the body has not heard of anything unusual, suddenly one day, we heard the news of the patriarch ascending to the immortal, at that time we were very happy, thinking that the ancestor must have ascended to the Tao, at that time Feng Guan said to us like this, everyone was very happy. ”
It seems that this Ming Yan's death is also quite strange, Wen Jing naturally doesn't believe in any Dao Ascension, and there are obvious scars on the bones, it must not be a natural death.
"This is the longest corpse, if you think about it carefully, you have the impression that there are a few Dao aunts who are more than the two of you, and they are about twenty years old." Wen Jing pointed to the corpse with blackened bones, Mingxin and Mingyuan are not short in the entire Taoist temple, and there are obviously not many Dao aunts who are a head taller than them, and this corpse should be easy to recognize.
Mingxin and Mingyuan glanced at each other, their faces were blank, and they thought for a long time and said, "I don't remember that there is such a Dao Gu." ”
"If you think about it carefully, a year ago, you should have had an impression."
The two of them pondered for a long time, but they still only shook their heads.
Wen Jing pointed out the remaining few words of corpses to the two, and both of them said that they didn't know, the bones looked the same, and they really didn't know who was who.
At this time, Ding Wu suddenly hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words to Ji Changge, and Ji Changge's face changed slightly.
"You go back first, don't talk nonsense, if necessary, the official will summon you two again." Ji Changge said to Mingxin and Mingyuan.
Mingxin and Mingyuan hurriedly responded, got up and hurriedly left.
Not long after the two left, a guard also hurriedly ran in and said to Ji Changge: "My lord, the mule team you are looking for has been found, but all of them have been killed."
"What?!"
Ji Changge and Wen Jing were both shocked, no matter how the mule team said that there were more than a dozen people, and all of them were killed.
"The goods and money are gone, and it is likely that they are killing people and overselling goods." The guard continued.
"Take me to see it." Ji Changge's eyes were extremely cold, and his intuition told him that it was not as simple as killing people and selling goods, such bad weather was not a good time to kill people and sell goods, and the team was killed not long after they came out of Guanli, which was too coincidental.
The wind and snow have stopped for some time, and the world is silent and peaceful.
Looking at the bright red blood stains in the snow, Wen Jing felt uncomfortable for a while, these fresh lives that were still talking in front of him, now there is no sign of life, lying in this cold snow, if she didn't lead the man into the view, maybe they wouldn't die, only Ruan Qinglian who had seen her
I checked everyone's wounds, they all wiped their necks with a knife, the knife technique was crisp and neat, the wounds were very similar, it should be done by the same person, the murderer seemed to be strong in martial arts, with the power of one person, he killed so many people in a short time and retreated, there are not many such people.
"My lord, this wound looks like Luo Wenshui's knife technique." Ding Wu said to Ji Chang.
Lowe asks for water?
As soon as Ding Wu said this, Ji Changge remembered that Luo Wenshui didn't seem to have appeared for a long time, and this wound was indeed very similar to Luo Wenshui's consistent killing methods.
"My lord, find this." One of the guards ran over and said.
Ji Changge took it and looked at it, and his face was suddenly shocked.
"It's not"
What was even more surprised than him was Dongsheng next to him, and the words behind him were stunned back by Ji Changge's glare.
Even more surprised than Dongsheng was Wen Jing, wasn't this the blood-stained sword that Aoyagi had taken away?! How could it be here!
Ji Changge glanced at Wen Jing with a surprised look in surprise: "Do you know this sword?" ”
"I don't know."
Wen Jing restrained his mind for a moment, could it be that the person who killed these people was the same person who killed Aoyagi?
Ji Changge put away his sword and ordered the corpses of these people to be carried back.
There were twelve more corpses, and Ji Changge felt more and more headaches, how many more people would die in this case?
Dongsheng looked even more panicked, Wen Jing glanced at him, it turned out that the owner of this sword was Dongsheng, that is to say, the person who Liancheng wanted to frame was also Dongsheng, she originally guessed that the owner of this sword might be Ji Changge, and he was also eight or nine.
Return to Lingyun Palace.
"How's Ding Wucha?" Wen Jing looked at Ji Changge and said, Fang Ming Mingxin Mingyuan and the two of them were there, so it was inconvenient for her to ask.
Ji Changge glanced at Wen Jing and said softly: "On the night Lord Feng Guan died, Zhu Chengde did come to Huaqingguan. ”
Wen Jing was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that what she said wisely turned out to be true, Zhu Chengde actually came, she originally just wanted to verify it, but she didn't expect this very low probability to become true.
"Zhu Chengde was supposed to be in Liuhe County, hundreds of miles away, how could he come to this Taoist temple, it seems that he must come to the door in person, Qi Niang, you haven't been home for a long time, come back to the capital with me." Ji Chang sang.
"Okay." Wen Jing said that she also wanted to go home to see her father and Shiro. (To be continued......)
