If the skinned corpse is hung in a certain side hall of the Qiluo Palace, perhaps no one will find the body of the head of the imperial dining room for a long time.

However, hanging under the locust tree not far from Qiluo Palace can not only avoid being discovered by the female eunuch of the night palace in Qiluo Palace, but also allude to Qiluo Palace.

This ploy is both clever and vicious.

"Lord Luo."

Seeing that Luo Wushuang was a little distracted, the ancient palm attendant called out loudly.

"Yes, what advice does the ancient palm have to offer?"

"Please come with the old slave."

Luo Wushuang nodded, and the ancient palm attendant took Luo Wushuang back to the Qiluo Palace.

The ancient palm servant walked to a rockery in the courtyard and slowly turned a rock.

A tunnel was revealed, and the ancient palm servant lit the flames and lit the lamps in the dark room one by one, and Luo Wushuang followed closely behind.

The ancient palm servant did not explain the origin of this dark room to Luo Wushuang, and Luo Wushuang was also very clever not to ask, and the two of them knew it by heart.

After walking for a short time, he came to the door of a dark room.

"Lord Luo, what you see next may be far beyond your understanding, please don't panic too much."

Luo Wushuang nodded cautiously, and when the ancient palm servant saw that he had received Luo Wushuang's consent, he slowly turned the door open.

The door revealed a hint of a meeting, and Luo Wushuang smelled a strange smell, a bit like a specific smell emitted by a rotting corpse.

When the door opened, I saw that inside the dark room, there were many skinned 'people', if they could still be called people.

It's weird that the overlapping 'people' are still slowly wriggling, like snakes.

The blurred scene of flesh and blood in front of him is too visually shocking.

Luo Wushuang looked away. Look at the wall.

"Gu Zhang, what's going on?"

Why people are skinned after that. It still survives, but it seems to have completely lost its 'human' characteristics.

Instead, it's more like some kind of animal. Like snakes.

"Lord Luo should be strange, why they can survive after being skinned."

"Isn't the head of the imperial dining room dead?"

The Ancient Palm Attendant shook his head and withdrew his look of pity.

"It's true that the head of the imperial dining room is dead, but these people are also really alive."

Luo Wushuang groaned slightly and then said, "The ancient palm servant hasn't finished talking about the follow-up of the little palace maid in the imperial dining room. ”

"Lord Luo, this is a reminder of the old slave, oh, the little palace maid in the corner over there."

The ancient palm attendant stretched out his hand and pointed to a small red man in the corner.

Luo Wushuang saw a 'person' huddled in the corner, just from his face, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and the only thing that could prove the gender of the little red people was the curvature of the body.

"Did you find the lost poultry and beasts in the Imperial Dining Room later?"

"Yes, after a heavy rain. The carcasses of the poultry and beasts were all washed out by the heavy rain. ”

"Do you know where you found it?"

"Imperial Garden."

"Have these people been like this for ten years?"

When the ancient palm servant heard Luo Wushuang ask the question of time, he didn't answer, as if he was very taboo about this question.

Luo Wushuang said secretly: I'm afraid that since the incident back then, the number of these 'people' has been increasing. Therefore, the reason why the Empress Dowager was assassinated on North Street is likely that someone wanted to prevent the Empress Dowager from continuing the investigation.

If the people behind the scenes are really the queen, presumably there are more and more of these 'people', and I am afraid it is not what the queen wants.

"The ancient squire hasn't told Weichen why they became like this."

"If the old slave could know, he would have relieved the Empress Dowager a long time ago."

"The only person the old slave can help Lord Luo is. Tell Lord Luo about the cause and effect of this strange thing. ”

"Where did the Ancient Palm Servant find these people?"

"In the room of the head of the imperial dining room."

The head of the imperial dining room was able to eat and sleep in front of such a cadre, Luo Wushuang felt that he really admired the head of the imperial dining room.

However, after thinking about it, the head of the imperial dining room is probably scared enough, and the bedroom is difficult to make mistakes in front of the nobles.

But what Luo Wushuang couldn't figure out was. If the head of the imperial dining room is behind the scenes, why did he die in the end?

If the head of the imperial dining room is not behind this, why would he take these people to his room? Who is he covering up for?

And the existence of these people is too contrary to the common sense of the world, why can people survive after being skinned?

Luo Wushuang thought more and more. The more bottomless I feel in my heart.

"Gu Zhangshou has taken care of these people for a long time, but what have you found?"

"If anything, these people seem to have completely lost their 'humanity'."

"Oh?"

"It's as if they've become snakes. Without normal human thinking, the biggest activity on weekdays is to wriggle like a snake on the ground. ”

"They also hiss, and food is all living things, such as oil thieves, rats. )”

"Every once in a while, the dead skin will be shed."

Luo Wushuang listened to the description of the ancient palm servant, and felt that his scalp was numb, and the dead skin of the human form felt disgusting when he thought about it.

Fortunately, someone should have cleaned this dark room regularly, so Luo Wushuang didn't see the legendary 'humanoid snake skin'.

"Will they fight each other over turf?"

"Yes, and the old slave found a pattern, these people seem to have a shorter lifespan than normal people."

"Just like the little palace maid that the old slave pointed out to Master Luo just now, she has been groggy these days, and she is not as lively as before."

"It seems that we have come to the end of our life, and maybe it will be a matter of the next few days."

"Does the emperor know such strange things?"

Gu Zhangshou was stunned, as if he didn't expect Luo Wushuang to ask this question directly.

"The old slave doesn't know that the emperor was still young at the time for this old incident."

"The old slave doesn't know if the current queen mother has informed the emperor."

"Then why did the Empress Dowager inform Weichen of the secrets in the palace? Weichen is still the same sentence, Weichen is humble and light, I'm afraid I won't be able to help the Queen Mother. ”

Gu Zhangshou smiled and said, "Lord Luo don't worry, today is just a formal entrustment of Lord Luo to investigate this case." ”

"I heard about the border smuggling case, and Lord Luo is the first to take the lead."

"The Empress Dowager really thinks too highly of Weichen, Weichen"

Before Luo Wushuang's excuse was finished, he was interrupted by the ancient palm attendant:

"The old slave naturally knows Lord Luo's difficulties, but Lord Luo only needs to agree, and the Empress Dowager will help Lord Luo settle everything else."

"But"

"What's more, since Lord Luo already knows these secrets, where will there be a way out?"

Although the Gu Palm Attendant still calmly recounted the matter, Luo Wushuang had already clearly heard the threat in the Gu Palm Attendant's words.

Luo Wushuang also knew that she had to set foot on this 'thief ship' today, but she wanted to put her posture higher in exchange for conditions that were more favorable to her.

After all, this is a fearful slashing of the tumor in Helan Jingheng's palace, and it may also involve Helan Jingheng's wife, that is, the current queen mother, which is a step that is not good enough to move the head. (To be continued.) )
