Chapter 125: Eunuch
With just a quick glance, everyone on the Shengping, including Xiao Hong, only greeted Du Xuanshuang and a few Zhou family guards who were familiar with each other, and the inconspicuous Man Yun was ignored to the side.
It is also a coincidence that the bandits who fled in a panic from Zeting went all the way to the south, and just chose to go ashore in Huiluan Bay.
In addition to mooring boats on the shore of Huiluan Bay, few fishermen live nearby, and most of the outsiders who stop here in case of tidal traffic and storms also tie their boats and walk to the fishing village to rest. But just like the time when Man Yun and Xu Ne's father and son traveled together, the Shengping still chose to be stationed on the spot by the bay.
When he went ashore, the kidnappers who saw the crowd happened to bump into the smugglers who were hiding their whereabouts, and they didn't know what to do, and they wanted to pinch the soft persimmons, but they were slaughtered with their backhands, which can be regarded as self-defeating.
Man Yun sighed lightly, and understood in his heart why the guards and Du Xuanshuang who came to the mansion to report were silent in front of the Zhou family. As soon as he heard that he was involved in a kidnapping case that might be involved with official affairs, he would rather give the credit to the chivalrous man who saw the injustice and disappeared, rather than be carefully explained the causes and consequences of their smuggling of the waterway.
In the half-ruined thatched hut, the body of a woman lay quietly on a straw mat on the ground, and the blood stains on her chest were shocking. The cloud bun was half scattered, his face was blue, his eyes were staring straight at him, and his deathless appearance suddenly destroyed the original beautiful face, which made people lose their appetite.
The two wounds of the deceased's shoulder blades and waist were fatal to a sword wound that ran through the ventricles from the chest to the back. Whether it was Man Yun who was inspecting or Du Xuanshuang who was lifting up the corpse, they couldn't help but glance at Xiao Hong who was hiding behind the person.
"I'm afraid that this woman thinks that the younger six years are easy to coax, and I didn't think that the younger six is not yet the age to pity the beauty......." Du Xuanshuang is very familiar with Shengping, and Xiao Hong has been doing it for a few days. He joked to the boy without hesitation.
Zhou Manyun, who had been keeping his head down, quietly glanced at Du Xuanshuang and put down one of the corpse's hands. Touched towards the waist and abdomen of the jade lady. The corpse's blue and white knuckles may have been a little rough because of the martial arts practice, but they were clean and did not carry the slightest bit of poison.
"You don't have to look it up! The things that this corpse was carrying with us, we have all searched for them before! Xiao Hong watched Man Yun's constantly turning hand and finally raised his voice to stop it, with a slightly red cheek, pointing to the corner of the house and throwing a burden.
But there is still a kind of poison on the corpse that died of wounds.
Man Yun, who found some signs, paused and said softly, "Why don't you go out first?" After all, it's a female corpse. Although he heard that the person who said Shengping was no longer a kind search, Manyun still wanted to leave some dignity for the dead woman, even if she was heinous.
Du Xuanshuang nodded in response, raised his hand and beckoned his own people, but was pulled by Lu Harrier's sleeve.
"Don't look it up!" On this side, Xiao Hong also grabbed Zhou Manyun's hand and said in a low voice: "Zhou Manyun! If you don't feel at ease, let Du Xuanshuang check it again. It's not a woman......"
Not a woman? Zhou Manyun's eyes fell on the corpse in disbelief. Although the body is hideous, you can still see the beautiful face of the woman before birth, and there is no obvious Adam's apple, no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a man.
"He's a castrated eunuch." , Xiao Hong squeaked softly from his mouth helplessly. Only then did he gently let go of Man Yun's hand.
The woman who came ashore to help her weakly stretched out her hand to call him, showing cowardice, but he approached his side. Just instinctively feel danger, when Yu Niang took his wrist. Preemptively struck. The people of the Shengping reacted very quickly, although for some reason he would go into a violent murderous outburst. But he still caught another bandit alive with the intention of exterminating the mouth.
The bones of that one are not too hard, and only a few strokes of the wrong bones are used to make a rough move. And Lu Harizi and the others are old rivers and lakes, not to mention that the enemy in front of them has become a corpse, even if they are alive and just against them, there is no difference between men and women, so they searched the corpse carefully with the spirit of twelve, and naturally found something unusual.
"No wonder!" , Zhou Manyun suddenly responded.
As soon as the seemingly ordinary voice entered his ears, Xiao Hong immediately felt that something was wrong.
"No wonder the strength is much more than the average woman." , Du Xuanshuang, who also showed incredulity, immediately added a sentence.
Zhou Manyun smiled faintly and stopped talking. is not as simple as Du Xuanshuang's thinking, she directly found a reason for Xiao Hong's murder, and being able to quickly judge that a beautiful woman is not a woman is also a special ability.
Everyone in the room retreated at the insistence of Man Yun, and she naturally tried to avoid people's eyes and ears if she wanted to take poison.
With a lone lamp, he looked at Yu Niang's appearance again, Zhou Manyun couldn't help but sigh, if he didn't understand the truth, the one in front of him was clearly a Jiao'e.
"This is not the slightest bit of a man, it should be a ...... who has been in the palace since he was a child", Man Yun said while talking and moving, while pulling thousands of heads in his mind.
Because of the fact that the previous dynasty had eunuchs who were self-emasculating after adulthood, the Great Chen Dynasty was extremely strict in managing the eunuchs. Even the elderly father-in-law who has returned to his hometown and raised himself will only occasionally appear among the people, and the others from birth to death are in the Luojing Inner Palace and the Mansion of the Vassal King, and such a person who suddenly appeared in Huocheng, Jiangnan, has to question his identity and origin.
The cold hand pushed on the deceased's abdomen, and it was immediately possible to see that the originally flat skin was bulging into a small mound of flesh, like the marks of mosquito bites.
Man Yun pressed it with his left hand, and with a stab of his right hand, a small black worm with transparent wings swooped down on her face.
From the silver coiled from Man Yun's forehead, he spit out a long letter, and slapped the little insect aside. Not to mention eating, just like this, she was dirty, and the silver was rubbed on the top of Man Yun's head very dissatisfied.
At the moment when the insect fell, Man Yun quickly reached out and connected an open small jade box underneath, and quickly closed the lid.
After examining the corpse carefully, there was nothing of value, and a white porcelain bottle pulled the lid and gently shook off a handful of yellow powder on the wound on the corpse's chest. The fine powder adhered to the residual blood, and immediately a series of yellow bubbles appeared, quickly devouring the flesh and skin of the corpse.
The dead are more reliable than the living, and even more reliable than the dead are the dead who die without leaving a trace.
After this kidnapping case, Man Yun also secretly reviewed the two chaotic people caught outside Zizhu Temple at the beginning of next year for not handling them well enough, and they were too eye-catching. Although, no matter whether it is dealt with or not, the kidnappers will still come, but is it possible that it is because others saw the traces of poisoning on the two bodies that they will send Yu Niang to be poisoned again.
Zhou Manyun, who didn't know the answer, could only try his best to make himself think more thoroughly each time.
Picking up a copper pipe, two lifelike human skin masks, and a bag of bottles and cans that he didn't know what poison was in them for the time being, Man Yun walked out of the thatched hut and closed the door.
"Looking at the weather, it will rain in less than half an hour, and we will have to wait until we get to order the house." Seeing that Man Yun raised the burden in his hand and signaled, Du Xuanshuang immediately responded. If the door is closed, he will not open it again to see what is going on inside, it will be destroyed directly.
"If there's thunder and lightning, push it to Skyfire, right?" , Man Yun blinked mischievously, suddenly realizing that he was still very talented as a thief.
Xiao Hong, who was standing three feet away and listening, couldn't help but smile.
Zhou Manyun pretended not to see the person who was snickering at her, and directly raised the copper pipe in his hand and said to Lu Harrier: "Fortunately, you didn't move this pipe without permission, otherwise it would be a big trouble." Although he didn't touch the mechanism and looked at it, he knew from Yinzi's reaction that it was the kind of poisonous water that Yu Niang used when Huo Cheng kidnapped Zhou Shen, and how to deal with it, Man Yun didn't have a way.
"That's because the thief was detained under his command at that time to use it against Xiao Liu, and after Xiao Liu killed him, he found that he was afraid of some secret weapon, and he didn't dare to let people touch ......", Lu Harrier's old habit was hard to change and blew it for Xiao Hong again.
Listening to Du Xuanshuang talk about the tragic situation of the poisoned guards before, everyone was even more embarrassed.
The night rain rained as previously judged, but there was no thunder as Man Yun expected, which inevitably made her a little disappointed. But what was even more frustrating was that Du Xuanshuang, who wanted to stay and set the fire, only wanted to bring two more guards, and instead entrusted Manyun to Lu Harrier of Shengping. For the people in the same boat who have run the river road together and cut off people's heads, no matter what happens in the future, Du Xuanshuang is still very trusting now.
The rustling rain covered the sound of walking with the cadence, Man Yun hesitated again and again, but still slowed down a few steps in the middle of the team, and waited for Xiao Hong, who was guarding the back of the team.
"Thank you so much for this incident! Now that you have the river people...... I will send someone to send some medicine to Shengping in order to catch up with Ming'er, it is much safer to erase the gold seal than to cut the fire with a knife, and it is generally impossible to see it. This was originally for the guard who hurt his face, but it was not very effective for large-scale damage, but it was still good for dealing with the Dao Golden Seal Tattoo.
"As a reward for this matter?" , Xiao Hong glanced sideways at Man Yun, and said with a smile: "Just send it!" ”
"Yes! Two clear! Manyun replied seriously. In this life, she has to calculate clearly, she will repay if she has kindness, she will not delay or owe, the so-called human favor owes too much, and she is afraid that she will not be able to pay it back.
"I want to ...... too", Xiao Hong only said half a sentence, then chuckled lightly and changed his words: "Okay! Two clear! ”
The young man standing in place gestured with his hand flat forward, as if urging Man Yun to leave quickly. Zhou Manyun nodded and raised his steps very briskly.
When Man Yun's figure was caught in the middle of the team, Xiao Hong, who fell at the end of the team, raised his steps again. Originally, he wanted to joke and say that he had to thank Zhou Manyun this time. If it weren't for the lesson of the light in the night exploration of the Tibetan Xiulou, maybe this time there would be a "woman" in the way. But thinking that such words were too frivolous, I swallowed again. Looking at it now, it's better to swallow.
"The fire is burning......", someone in the team whispered, and Man Yun slowly turned around.
The red light of the fire reflected through the rain curtain, as if it was about to burn through half of the dark sky.
"Even the eunuchs have run out to be kidnappers, and the world is going to be chaotic!" , Lu Harrier's smack was extremely clear.
Man Yun, who was in the drizzle, reached out to help the hat on his head to cover the rain, and smiled lightly...... (To be continued......)
