Chapter 270: Alternative Dating
"You obviously tapped me on the shoulderβ" The official saw the hoe in his companion's hand, and the rest of the words came to an abrupt end.
Zhang Er was holding a hoe in both hands, and he had been digging a pit just now, who was he just shooting?
The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing cold all over the body, and a layer of goosebumps got on the arms.
Seeing that he was stunned, another official asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Zhang, Brother Zhang, you really didn't shoot me just now?" Although the hand holding the hoe had begun to tremble, the official did not give up, and forcibly comforted himself that he had not paid attention to the behavior of his companion.
"Really no, if you don't finish your work early in the mass grave at night and leave, what am I filming you for?"
The officer's face changed completely, and his hands trembled so much that he could barely hold the hoe.
"What's wrong?" Another official asked, puzzled.
The official opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "Brother Zhang, just ...... Someone filmed me ......"
The other official didn't react for a moment: "Why are you still talking about this-"
The official grabbed his companion: "No, Brother Zhang, someone patted me, not you!" β
Another official suffered pain in his hand, and a spirit came to his senses: "You meanβ"
"There's a ghost!" The servant threw away the hoe and ran away.
The mass grave is full of bones, the wind is gusting, and there are newly carried female corpses lying on the shelves next to them, and for the people of Dawei, the whole month of July is the day when the ghost door is opened, which makes it easier for people to think crankily.
Another officer fled uncontrollably with his companion, dropped his hoe and fled.
A few wild dogs, who had been shunned by someone coming, slowly approached the shelves and sniffed down at the white cloth covering the corpses.
Lu Xuan walked over.
Several wild dogs glared at him warily.
"Go away." The boy's tone was light, driving away the wild dogs.
Ever since he met that ignorant wild dog in the back alley of Shangshu Mansion, he has lost his affection for these things.
Several wild dogs, sensing that the man was about to prey on food, whined warning from their throats, and one of them, a large black dog with its teeth bared, rushed up.
Lu Xuan raised his feet expressionlessly.
With a scream, the brave big black dog drew a graceful arc in midair.
The other wild dogs looked at their companions who flew out in a moment and ran fast with their tails between their legs.
Lu Xuan leaned over and lifted the corner of the white cloth, revealing the corpse below.
Feng Cheng walked over, took a closer look, and said in a complicated tone: "It's meditation." β
"Then go with the plan." Lu Xuan bent down to hug the corpse.
Feng Cheng was stunned: "Lu Xuan, what are you doing?" β
Lu Xuan raised his eyes: "Didn't you say that you would put the body of Jingxin at the door of the Ministry of Punishment?" β
Feng Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth: "Do you want to carry the corpse of Jingxin?" β
Lu Xuan looked at her puzzled.
Or else?
Feng Cheng pointed to the shelf: "Isn't there this, how convenient it is for us to carry it together." β
Lu Xuan frowned: "It's enough for me alone." β
Others and their sweethearts swim in the lake to enjoy the scenery, before the flowers and under the moon, he took Feng Cheng to the mass grave to carry the corpse?
"Nope." Feng Cheng refused, holding on to one end of the shelf and said seriously, "The steel needle that assassinated Jingxin was quenched with poison, and it is not safe to touch the corpse." β
Not only is it unsafe, but in the future, when she sleeps by Lu Xuan, she will think of him carrying the corpse. After all, she is a lady, and she is somewhat uncomfortable with this kind of thing.
Seeing her resolute expression, Lu Xuan didn't insist anymore, just sighed and said, "Lin Xiao should be called." β
That way, there would be no need for Feng Cheng to carry the corpse.
Feng Cheng was silent.
always felt that Lu Xuan would lose Lin Xiao's friend sooner or later.
It was the dead of night, the street was empty, and it was easy for the two of them to carry a female corpse, and it didn't take too long to come to the yamen of the criminal department.
"Just put it here." Lu Xuan said in a low voice.
Feng Cheng straightened up and looked around, a little uneasy: "Before dawn, I was afraid that there would be wild dogs and wild cats making trouble." β
"I'll send someone to watch in the shadows later."
Hearing Lu Xuan say this, Feng Cheng put his mind at ease: "Then go home." β
She is looking forward to tomorrow's excitement.
Although Jing Xin chose to help the abuse, he was a victim and could not die so quietly and unclearly.
Shuntian Mansion Yin is unwilling to investigate, so let the Criminal Department investigate.
The road back to Shangshufu was quiet, as if everything had fallen into a deep sleep, and only the young men and women walking side by side were alive.
"Lu Xuan, where do you say the owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery will flee to? If she leaves the capital, it will be difficult to find. β
Lu Xuan didn't answer Feng Cheng's question, looking at the endless darkness in front of him and thinking: "According to the information inquired, the owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery has hardly left the Plum Blossom Nunnery over the years, so what is she trying to do?" β
Feng Cheng's footsteps paused slightly.
"What good is it for detaining a young disciple and using human blood as medicine for Concubine Su to take?" Lu Xuan analyzed, "Picture name? This is an unsightly deed, and when the world knows about it, it will only be scolded. Wealth? What is the significance of a nun who lives in the nunnery all year round, even if he has mountains of gold and silver? What's more, it is impossible for Concubine Su to give her gold and silver. β
Lu Xuan combed through the messy information, and his tone was firm: "The owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery must still have secrets that have not been dug up." β
Feng Cheng listened carefully to the analysis of the young man next to him, looked at his bright eyes, and a spiritual light crossed his mind: "Lu Xuan, do you want to check the sweetheart of the owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery?" β
"The sweetheart of the owner of the Plum Blossom Temple?"
Feng Cheng bowed: "When I first went to Qianyun Mountain, I heard the third uncle say that the owner of the Plum Blossom Nunnery was originally a noble daughter, and she became a monk because her family opposed her falling in love with her lover. Check the sweetheart of the owner of the plum blossom nunnery, and you may be able to get some clues. β
Lu Xuan showed an appreciative gaze: "How did you think of it?" β
Feng Cheng smiled: "I always feel that a woman who will become a monk because of love, the word love is the biggest motivation." β
"I'll have someone check it out."
While speaking, I arrived in the back alley of Shangshu Mansion.
The alley was dim, and a dark shadow in the corner of the wall noticed that someone was moving, recognized the two of them again, and silently got up and walked out of the alley.
"That'...... See you tomorrow. Lu Xuan raised his hand and wanted to pat Feng Cheng's shoulder, but thinking that he hadn't cleaned his hands after carrying the corpse, he silently put his hand down.
"See you tomorrow." Feng Cheng waved his hand and jumped onto the wall.
Lu Xuan watched her back disappear into the wall, turned around and walked out of the alley, and when he passed by the wild dog, he found that it was looking up at the wall.
"Look at what you see." The boy rubbed the dog's head and strode away.
The wild dog remained motionless for a few moments before he let out a sigh of indignation.
Lu Xuan vaguely heard the dog barking and couldn't help but raise his lips.
The dog was quite clever, and he was sure that it was inconvenient for him to return to fight when he was far away, so he protested.
Walking to the Qingxin Teahouse, Lu Xuan called Noble up.
"What do you command?" Noble asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"Go to the yamen of the criminal department to guard outside, and a corpse is placed at the yamen."
"Corpses?" Noble fell asleep instantly.
At this time, in this direction, isn't Childe and Miss Feng preparing to go home after spending the last month?
