The people who opened the city gate together in the city gate couldn't help but sneer: "You two can't be the wine you drank yesterday, just vomit today, this reaction is really slow enough." ”

The two soldiers, who had been vomiting for a long time, pointed to something in front of the door, and then vomited again.

The two people inside looked uncertain, and they also walked over slowly, but when they walked over, they moved like the previous two, first opening their eyes wide, then rubbing their eyes vigorously, and finally running to the side and throwing up......

In front of the gate of Lin'an City, the things that were folded into a hill before were the eighteen women who disappeared last night, these women were not only stripped of their clothes, but also had traces of whipping on their bodies, and their lower bodies were stained with blood, and what was even more terrifying was that their eyes were gouged out, and their appearance was very terrifying.

The families of the eighteen families got the news and rushed over, and for a time each family found their daughter, which was called a miserable, and in the entire Anling City, no one did not shed tears, no one was sad, and there was a mourning.

Ye Minghao never left the Criminal Department, waiting for the news of Du Ming's search, but in the end, he didn't wait for the news, but waited for the report of the gatekeeper.

As soon as he heard about the tragic death of these women, Ye Minghao's face was as dark as a dark cloud, and he immediately rushed to the city gate with the officials of the Criminal Department and the palace guards.

I saw that on the side of the city gate, there were eighteen corpses neatly placed, and the corpses were already fully dressed at this time, and the people of the eighteen families all dressed their daughters, put them on the ground, and then covered them with white cloths.

In the palace

After Su Yingxue got the news, she was so angry that her body couldn't help shaking, this frenzied black eagle actually did such a cruel thing, it was so hateful.

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Su Yingxue led Long Teng and Shura to leave Mingyue Palace, ordered the eunuchs in the palace to prepare a carriage, and immediately took the carriage out of the palace gate and went to the gate of Lin'an City.

At this time, the crying and noise have become a mess.

"Your Majesty, you must catch those thieves and avenge our daughter."

Ye Minghao looked at these crying people, the anger in her heart was abnormal, she knew that it was Black Eagle who did it, but there was no way at the moment, what they could do now was to prevent Black Eagle from invading these daughters to be married again, he ordered while comforting the families of the eighteen families who were killed.

"Anyone who has a daughter's family will immediately send troops to protect it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War received the order and was about to leave, outside the crowd of onlookers, a figure walked over, it was Su Yingxue who was driven out of the palace, Su Yingxue led people in, and immediately called the Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "Lord Shangshu, wait a minute." ”

When the military department saw that it was the queen's mother, he hurriedly bowed his body: "The old minister has seen the queen's mother." ”

The officials behind Ye Minghao all knelt down: "The ministers have seen the queen mother." ”

The onlookers still wanted to kneel, but Su Yingxue waved her hand: "Okay, you don't have to worship, get up." ”

She walked to Lord Shangshu's side and whispered a few words, Lord Shangshu from the military department walked out, Su Yingxue walked to Ye Minghao's side, and asked softly: "I heard that the thief's methods are extremely cruel, so I can't help but come out of the palace to take a look." ”

Su Yingxue walked to the gate of the city, where there were eighteen corpses, and she wanted to see how Black Eagle mutilated these women.

But when Minghao saw her reach out to lift the white cloth, he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so he hurriedly stopped, "Xue'er, don't look at it." ”

At this time, Su Yingxue's hand had already lifted the white cloth, and then she saw that the woman's face under the white cloth was full of scars, and even her eyes were gouged out, her face was black and hollow, and black blood flowed out, which was really ugly.

However, Su Yingxue is very calm, she has experienced a lot of strange things, she is already indifferent, but the people in front of the city gate, seeing the queen mother looking at those corpses, in addition to pity and heartache, they are not as vomiting and afraid as ordinary people, and they can't help but admire.

Su Yingxue let go of the white cloth in her hand, looked at the eighteen people who were staring at her blankly, and said sadly.

"This palace understands the feeling of your heartache, but people can't be resurrected after death, you should take people back and bury them, the emperor and this palace will definitely catch the thief behind them as soon as possible, and they will definitely give you an explanation."

The family members all felt that the queen was right, the person was dead, and it was not a way to continue like this, so they supported each other and took the dead woman back for burial.

The crowd at the city gate quickly dispersed, and Ye Minghao stood in front of the city gate, looked at Su Yingxue, and stretched out his hand to pull her into the carriage together.

"I'll send you back to the palace."

Su Yingxue didn't stop him, leaned into his arms, thinking of the previous picture, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Haven't you heard from Black Hawk yet?"

Ye Minghao shook his head, "Earlier, I ordered the military department Shangshu to send troops to protect the lady to be married in the city, what did you say to him?" ”

"I had him light a kind of incense in every lady's room, and the smell of this incense was strong, and if the Black Hawk came to catch these women again tonight, the dragon would surely find his whereabouts."

In the carriage, Ye Minghao stretched out his hand to hug Su Yingxue and leaned against his chest, he knew that Xue'er was blaming herself in his heart at the moment, and comforted her softly.

"Don't blame yourself, everything is providential, no one thought that there would be such a result."

Su Yingxue sighed lowly, Ye Minghao sent her to Xixue Palace, and went to do his business again.

This night, Ye Minghao did not return to the palace, and the people sent out by Su Yingxue did not receive any news, but she couldn't sleep several times during the night and woke up, thinking of various possibilities, she was always shocked into a cold sweat.

When it was almost dawn, he couldn't sleep, so he chatted with Long Teng and the others in the dormitory, "Long Teng, what is happening now is not something we can expect, notify Shura as soon as possible, and let him hurry back to the southern country." ”

"I'll send a message to Shura in a moment."

"Okay."

As soon as they stopped, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Long Teng looked at Su Yingxue.

"There's news."

Outside the palace, footsteps stopped, and the eunuch's voice sounded: "Queen Mother, King Qing sent a letter into the palace, saying that no woman from any family has been taken away tonight." ”

Originally, Su Yingxue's heart was all tense, and when she heard the last sentence, no woman was taken away, and she was immediately relieved.

Long Teng also smiled and looked at Su Yingxue: "Master, don't worry, it's okay." ”

However, as soon as the two of them let go of their hearts, the eunuch outside reported again: "But it was not the women who had the accident, but the children." ”

"What?"

In the dormitory, Su Yingxue roared angrily, and then a figure flashed out of the inner hall, went straight to the door, and looked down at the little eunuch who reported condescendingly: "What did you just say, say it again." ”

"Back to the queen's mother, King Qing sent guards into the palace to report, saying that the woman was fine, but it was a child who had an accident, I heard, I heard that it was ......"

"What did you hear?"

Su Yingxue lifted the placket of the little eunuch's clothes, and drank fiercely with her eyes.

The eunuch shook for a moment, and then said quickly: "I heard that those children were only four or five years old, but they were arrested, drugged to death one by one, put them in a bamboo cage, and hung them outside the door of their house. ”

Su Yingxue was really mad when she heard it, she didn't have to think about it to know that it was a desperate guy like Black Eagle who did it, not only killed people, but also came up with such a cruel idea, and even put the child in a bamboo cage and hung it outside the door of other people, this is simply a snow box, who can bear it, I am afraid that everyone in Lin'an City will be frightened right now.

Su Yingxue's eyes were red, and she turned around and walked in while thinking, Long Teng naturally heard the report of the eunuch outside, and hurriedly waited for the master to put on her clothes, and then gave her a simple hairstyle, and the two of them quickly left the palace.

Outside the palace, the entire Lin'an City was covered with a layer of misery, mourning sounded everywhere, and from time to time I heard the sound of crying on the street.

From time to time, I saw a group of people gathered in front of a family on the side of the street.

Su Yingxue got out of the carriage, led Long Teng, and brought a few guards over, and saw that there was really a bamboo cage hanging in front of the door of the people who were gathered together, and she could clearly see the child in the cage, and she didn't move at this time, bending her legs cross-legged in the cage.

At this time, the child's relatives have been crying and fainting one after another, and no one has to untie the bamboo cage hanging under the eaves, the bamboo cage is still hanging in front of the door, the wind blows, whining, and suddenly the onlookers feel that the wind is gusting, creepy, and soon, those people scattered, each rushed home, and for a time Lin'an City was like a dead city.

However, today's weather is not very good, the fog is heavy, the sky is overcast, and at noon, there is even a drizzle.

When Ye Minghao came, Su Yingxue's whole body was already soaked, and the whole person fell into a demonic barrier, and finally even Ye Minghao didn't know that she was carrying her into the carriage.

Ye Minghao saw Xue'er like this, her nose was sour, not to mention distressed, she stretched out her hand and pointed at her acupoint, let her fall asleep, and then sent her to the palace, personally changed her clothes, and ordered the imperial doctor to come over and treat her.

Wait until everything is cleaned up, and then order Long Teng: "Don't alarm the queen anymore about the things outside." ”

"Yes, the slave knows." ……

Two days later, Ye Minghao received a letter from the State of Chu, which was sent by the Night Butterfly Dance, asking the imperial brother to send someone to the Lintel State to help them, because Shangguan Jinyu failed again when he assassinated Emperor Yongshou, not only failed, but was also injured because of it.

Now the evil deeds of Emperor Yongshou of Chu are getting more and more powerful, and the people of Chu State hate this emperor and want to remove them from power, so now they go to get rid of Emperor Yongshou with Shangguan Jinyu, so that Chu can be recovered soon.

After Ye Minghao received the letter, he immediately sent a eunuch to the Xixue Palace to pick up the queen.

He wouldn't hide anything from Su Yingxue, but now that everything was gathered together, he was a little caught off guard.

Cher is not only smart, she will give him excellent ideas many times, but he knows that if he hides anything from her, it will definitely make her angry, so he discusses everything with her.

Su Yingxue sat in a soft sedan chair and entered the upper study, and saw Ye Minghao in the upper study staring at a letter on the dragon case, as soon as Su Yingxue walked over, he was hugged and sat on his lap.
