The lobby of Jingzhao Mansion.

Jing Zhaoyin presided over the trial: "Who is in the hall?" How can you commit murder and kill people, and you don't invite it quickly?! ”

"Your Excellency!" After being dragged all the way, Hu Warlock seemed to be relieved, and he rolled his eyes and moved his brain, "My lord! It's all Yao Duwei! Yao Duwei is sick, and he asks Xiaodao to treat the disease! He collected all those girls! He killed them all!! It's not about the gossip!! "After being bandaged by the medical officer, the bleeding from the wound on his head has stopped.

"Oh? Is it?! Yan Yan's cold voice sounded, and he walked in from the outside, "Bring it up." ”

Bai Xue followed the two officials to lead the three girls to the court...

Qi Ming silently glanced at Yan Mo, who had stopped waiting, and entered the auditorium first.

Behind the three girls was Yao Duwei, who was held by the official mission, lost in despair, as if he didn't know what was going on, and didn't care what happened...

Yan Mo turned to face the three girls: "Don't be afraid, we are here, you are safe..." ”

The three girls all stretched out their hands to point at Yao Duwei, and when Hu Warlock peeked at it, his clenched hands loosened a little... He subconsciously leaned to the side, away from Yan Mo, thinking about how to get rid of his guilt for a while... Unexpectedly, the fingers of the three people slowly moved and pointed at themselves again!!

"No... It's not me..."Hu Warlock's eyes suddenly became bloodshot, and he hugged himself tightly, "It's not me... It's all Yao Duwei! It's him!! ”

Syllable! Jing Zhaoyin was shocked!

"Who's in the hall? It's not honest yet! Do you want to be punished?!! ”

As soon as he heard the punishment, Hu Warlock remembered Yan Mo's sword shadow intimidation, and suddenly shook into a let the wind flutter, and he couldn't bear the punishment! Only then did he slowly speak in fear and evasion: "... Xiaodao Hu Banxian, a year ago, Xiaodao wandered in the northern frontier, selling some security charms... Later, I met Yao Duwei who was about to return to Beijing, Yao Duwei said that he was unwell, and let Xiaodao see if there was any evil in his body... I gave Xiaodao a silver ingot on the spot! said that it could be cured, and there were 100 taels of gold to thank you! As he spoke, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then dimmed again, "The wandering life is too hard... Xiaodao remembered that it was recorded in the wild book that the use of the girl's organs to take medicine can cure all kinds of diseases... So he asked Yao Duwei to collect nine girls and put them in a wooden box and bring them back to the capital..."

Yan Mo stood up straight, and said in a cold tone: "Where did the girl come from? ”

Warlock Hu dodged again, his eyes only daring to glance at the ground, and said vaguely: "... Captured in the war... And some of them are beggars you meet along the way..."

Hearing this, Yan Mo thought of the war-torn frontier and the people who were in the camp and dogs, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, but he could only secretly suppress the pain...

Jing Zhaoyin saw that the princess didn't speak, so he spoke: "How did you treat Yao Duwei's illness?" ”

Hu Warlock: "... Xiaodao was afraid of arousing suspicion, so after collecting nine girls, he waited for half a year before he began to implement this method of healing... It requires a pure virgin body, taking the blood and bones of its limbs, and its eyes, soaking it in wine, and then giving it to the patient..."

Yan Mo: "Raw? ”

Everyone didn't react for a while, Princess Yi'an asked something, and it wasn't until the prisoner spoke that everyone realized...

Warlock Hu nodded and said, "Fresh flesh and blood, soak it in time, and drink it in three days... It's even better..."

Yan Mo snorted coldly: "Stupid! If it weren't for the sterilization and disinfection effect of alcohol, Yao Duwei would have been tossed by you to vomit and diarrhea! Prostration and weakness! In your eyes, are they really not even as good as grass mustard?! ”

Warlock Hu didn't understand what Yan Mo said earlier, and then he was shocked by the other party's roar!

He didn't dare to look up, but continued in a daze: "... It is recorded in the wild book that after nine times, any disease can be cured... But Yao Duwei's condition is getting worse... Xiaodao is also worried, afraid that the record in the wild book is not very accurate... But seeing that the nine girls were about to be all drugged, Xiaodao still had a trace of luck... Maybe in the end, Yao Duwei will be fine! A hundred taels of gold will be in your hands..."

"For the sake of a hundred taels of gold, you don't hesitate to take nine lives!!" Jing Zhaoyin frowned and shouted, "Who did it to cut people and take their eyes?!" ”

When Hu Warlock heard this, his eyes turned wildly, and he was both weak and afraid! After a while, he said: "... Originally, the person who took the medicine had a better effect, but Yao Duwei was not in good condition, and he couldn't even hold the knife steadily... Xiaodao is helpless..."The more he spoke, the more he shivered, as if the blood that he had cut out was pouring cold on him, "I had to... I had to do it myself..."

Jing Zhaoyin: "Bring the body up!" ”

Yan Mo subconsciously covered in front of the three girls, and Bai Xue helped fill the gap.

When all the corpses were brought up, Jing Zhaoyin asked Warlock Hu to identify them!

Thinking of the feeling of contact between the blades when he cut off his arms, and the slimy sound that came when he gouged out his eyes, Hu Warlock glanced at the six corpses behind him with some fear, the rotting and rotting, unbearable and unsightly, he only nodded cowardly...

Jing Zhaoyin: "Mark the places where your body is buried on the map!" ”

After the warlock pointed out all the places where the corpses were hidden, the master stepped forward to check and compare them one by one, but found that there was no match!!

"Prisoner, is this where the first body was buried?" Master asked cautiously.

Warlock looked at the map and nodded weakly...

Master: "If you take a closer look, is that corpse the first one you buried?" ”

Warlock Hu was a little inexplicable, looking back at the corpse, the first corpse was the most seriously damaged, where could he still see the original appearance! When asked like this, he became unsure...

The master observed for a while, and told Jing Zhaoyin the whisper of the suspicious point, and when the adult heard it, he quickly called someone to go to the place of suspicion to dig!

Yan Mo: "What's going on?" ”

The master handed over the map and pointed silently, then shook his head...

Yan Mo was slightly surprised after comprehending it, frowned and waited quietly...

Half an hour later, the official galloped back on a fast horse and brought back another corpse, this one even more decomposed! He hurriedly stepped forward to inspect and found that this had more obvious traces of frozen residue.

Everyone was amazed for a moment, wondering what was going on with the so-called first corpse...

Yan Mo turned around and asked, "Do you remember, how many people were locked up?" ”

One of the girls crossed his fingers and showed that it was nine.

Jing Zhaoyin got down from the main case, looked at the corpse and said, "Princess... This..."

Yan Mo frowned: "It means that there is another murder case..."

Qi Ming understood the general situation, got up and said: "Close the case, this corpse of unknown origin will be opened in another case, and then a thorough investigation will be conducted." ”

Jing Zhaoyin bowed respectfully and said, "Yes." ”

"Yan'er." Qi Ming came to Yan Mo, "Wait for Jing Zhaoyin to finish the formalities, and then send the three of them to the hospital to recuperate." Let's go back first, and don't forget that there are still guests in the house. ”

"The prince and princess can rest assured." When Jing Zhaoyin heard this, he hurriedly said, "When the lower officials finish dealing with it, they will start to investigate the matter." He was referring to Lord Liang.

After Yan Mo bowed her head, she comforted the three girls well, and looked at it fixedly, thinking of Liang Yanyan who had been imprisoned, she felt a sour bitterness in her heart... It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, come to the front of Qi Zuo to explain a few words, and walked out with Bai Xue and Qi Ming.

Yun Shikang had been waiting outside, and when he heard the result from the prince's mouth, his face did not move, but he just congratulated the nobles.

On the frame, Bai Xue asked for detailed information about Yao Duwei's hysteria.

"Post-traumatic stress disorder, a person who is exposed to a very threatening environment for a long time, often sees others die, or amputated limbs, flesh and blood, will have a great fear of injury, fear of death, in short, trauma phobia. ”

Bai Xue: "Trauma phobia... Is there a cure? ”

Yan Mo frowned and said: "If a soldier has this disease, he must first withdraw from the battlefield and cultivate well in a stable environment... I need the patience of my loved ones to accompany me and feel that there is still warmth in the world... Use time to heal broken hearts..."

"......" thought of the prince's hysteria, Bai Xue couldn't help but fall silent, and her eyebrows tightened more and more...

When the carriage arrived at the palace, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and rode back to the barracks alone.

Without saying a word, he turned around and went straight to the guest room of Yan Ming Yuan!

"Yan'er!" Qi Ming saw that the other party hurriedly went to Liang Yanyan's room, and hurriedly stopped it!

Yan Mo: "I can't wait!" Instead of sitting still, let her return to that unbearable Liang Mansion! It's better to pierce it now! The long pain becomes a short pain!! ”

"Yan'er! Your appearance will only scare her! ”

Ignoring it, he pushed the door in three steps and two steps to enter!

Liang Yanyan has been hiding in the room and not daring to go out, she doesn't know what happened outside, she is still confused, I don't know why she followed the prince and the princess here...

"Miss Liang, as long as you say a word, I will definitely administer justice for you!" Yan Mo walked over quickly, pulled up Liang Yanyan and wanted to go out!

"The king... Princess..."Liang Yanyan was frightened for a moment, "Where are you going?" ”

Yan Mo: "Mrs. Liang is here in person and wants to take you back!" I already know you have a wound on your arm, don't be afraid! It doesn't matter what they've done to you! Say it all! I'm going to make them pay the price they deserve!! I won't let you suffer anymore!! ”

Liang Yanyan was shocked! Fingertips lose their temperature in an instant! Desperately shake off Yan Mo's hand and flee back to the inside of the room!!

"Miss Liang! The palace can protect you for a while, but it can't protect you for a lifetime! Yan Mo pressed step by step, "You don't want to rescue yourself, no one can save you!" Without your accusations, Lord Liang can wake up and hide from his gods! Denial of the crime!! When you return to the Liang Mansion, what will be waiting for you?! ”

"Say no more! Stop it!!! Liang Yanyan was stimulated, hugged her head and cried, and said hoarsely, "Don't say it!" Stop it!! I am a sinner!! There's no going back!! It's all my fault!! ”

"Miss Liang! It's never your fault!! Yan Mo tried to contact the other party, but the other party resisted even more!

"Yan'er!" Qi Ming grabbed Yan Mo and walked out, letting the maid in the distance go in and wait!

"Yan'er, calm down! This will not help her!! Qi Ming said as he walked.

Yan Mo fell silent for a while, and her violently undulating chest showed how angry she was, but she had to suppress it! All the way back to the vicinity of the main house!

“... I don't know if it's right or wrong for me to intervene... I... I don't know how to save her..."Yan Mo closed his eyes and covered his face, shook his head and said in confusion...

"This matter should be planned slowly, and it is most important to avoid being in a hurry." Qi Ming comforted, "Don't worry, I won't let Mrs. Liang take Miss Liang away, and Lord Liang can also try to force him to confess, you shouldn't take all this on yourself... Whether it can be saved or not depends on Miss Liang's own creation..."

"Prince, princess?" Jiang Shishi groped her way to Yanming Courtyard, and when she saw where the target person was, she stepped forward with small steps, and as soon as she stood still, she regretted it a little... Seeing the atmosphere of the two of them, he felt that he had come at a very bad time, so he hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "... Small... The little woman is here to apologize..."

Yan Mo was a little inexplicable, and was about to speak, but was preempted by Qi Ming!

"It's just right that Miss Jiang is here." Qi Ming smiled politely, "This king has something to ask for!" ”

After quietly hearing about Liang Yanyan's situation, Jiang Shishi saluted gently: "The little girl does her best. ”

In the barracks, the prince learned from Bai Xue about the reason for the girl's autopsy case and Yao Duwei's condition, so he asked several military doctors to discuss the disease. When he returned to the palace the next day, he went to the court with the military doctor, and wrote to the emperor to issue a military order to secretly investigate the situation of the frontier soldiers thoroughly, send the soldiers who were not suitable for war home, and then dispatch a batch of vacancies from the imperial city garrison, and at the same time step up the training of new soldiers to be ready to go to the front line at any time. In order to prevent someone from exploiting the gap, the soldiers who are repatriated must be certified by the military doctor of the garrison army before they can receive a pension and return to their hometowns for recuperation or discharge. At the same time, he was transferred to Beijing by Jin Moutong, and on the surface, he was preparing to take over the position of General Ge.

After the next dynasty, the prince followed the emperor to the Qinzheng Palace, and Gonggong Liu sent off the palace people and guarded the door himself.

Emperor: "How is Qian Yishou doing?" ”

Prince: "Father Qi, Commander Qian is upright, he agrees with Erchen's proposal, and during his son's time, he has not left the barracks, and there is no suspicious contact. ”

The emperor frowned slightly: "In this way, he did not agree with Yuan Shangshu." ”

Prince: "Erchen is still unsure, but he is asking Major General Jin Mouton to be transferred to Beijing, and to observe the reaction of everyone in the court and China, especially Yuan Shangshu's reaction." ”

"Hmm~" the emperor said with satisfaction, "Just do what you want." Well... What has Ming'er been busy with lately? ”

"......" the prince's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I'm busy investigating the case, and the matter of Yao Duwei's illness was found out by the second emperor's brother and Princess Yi'an." The name of the disease was also proposed by Princess Yi'an. ”

"Princess Yi'an?" The Emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "She has something extraordinary... It's unheard of to say it... What's that disease called?"

Prince: "Traumatasia. ”

Emperor: "Ah! Right! That's it! As for the thorough investigation of the frontier soldiers, I can be approved, but the number of people must be limited for the first thorough investigation, first, the frequent transfer of military camps is not conducive to the stability of the frontier, and second, the military expenditure will be saved, and those who are seriously ill will be given priority to discharge. In the past few days, you and the Ministry of War have drawn up a relevant excerpt and submitted it to me. ”

Prince: "Yes." ”

The scorching sun finally sank west to the mountain, and after a quiet night, it rose again and began to scorch the earth. It's getting hotter and hotter, and the merchants who sell ice cubes in the capital are coming and going more frequently...

Kim Mouton, who was stationed in Jinju, was not far from the capital, and arrived in front of the palace gate a day later, disarmed and prepared to face the saint on foot. Qian Yishou also took the new city defense plan and also entered the palace to face the saint. The two took a photo on the way to the Qinzheng Palace.

When the two of them passed the door of the Qinzheng Palace, the prince came back and hurriedly saluted silently.

Entering the hall, Jin Mouton made a kowtow: "The last general Jin Mouton will see Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor: "Aiqing, please get up." ”

Qian Yishou: "The last general will see Your Majesty, this is the rectification plan for the control of the imperial city garrison and the new defense in the city prepared by the last general, please take a look at it." ”

Gonggong Liu respectfully took the documents and drawings and handed them over to the emperor.

The emperor beckoned the prince to check it together: "What does the prince think?" ”

The prince pretended to be serious, took a general look, and said with a gentle smile: "Erchen thinks that this matter should not be rushed, the deployment of troops in the city, the rotation of shifts, it is not difficult to say that it is difficult to deal with affairs, but it is not easy to say." And Major General Jin has just returned, and he definitely doesn't know about the changes in the capital over the years, so he might as well recuperate at home for a few days, stop by and see Kyoto, so as to make full preparations for his future employment. So, the matter... Erchen believes that it is necessary to take a long-term view. ”

It was a confident Qian Shou who was stunned for a while! There are a total of three plans for arming in the city, and none of them have passed! Major General Jin, hand-picked by the crown prince, must not take office immediately! Which one is this singing? The problem is that His Majesty didn't say a word and gave him an approval! The Gyeonggi defense has been delayed!! He really doesn't know if his plan is not doing well... Or is the prince using him for amusement and taking advantage of this to gain prestige?!

Yi'an Palace.

Yan Mo waited for two days, and Jing Zhaoyin finally sent someone to deliver the news, which said that Lord Liang refused to admit it, and said that the butcher knife was just a decoration, and the secret room was only used to interrogate people, and the injuries on her daughter's body were all bumped by herself.

Yan Mo slapped the paperwork with one palm, trying his best to restrain the anger in his heart... Suddenly, she heard movement outside, and when she looked up, it was Jiang Shishi who came to the main house with gentle steps.

"The little woman has seen the princess..."

"Miss Jiang, you are pregnant, there is no need to be polite." Yan Mo hurriedly greeted each other and invited the other party to take a seat, "Uncle Lan, go and invite the prince to come over." ”

Waiting for Lan Bo to bring Qiming, the three of them gathered around a table and began to consult.

Jiang Shishi's face was a little sad, it really took a lot of effort to get along with Miss Liang in the past two days, and she slowly spoke: "Miss Liang told the little woman that about half a year ago, she went to the street and encountered a gangster, and the personal maid protected her life, and she was only cut off one hand... On the way back to her home, she was kidnapped, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in the field in rags, covered in blood, which was the blood on her arm... Then she also found that she had a red date in her mouth, thinking that it was stuffed by the murderer, and finally she quietly returned home under the search of the servants of the Liang Mansion... Since then, I have rarely gone out..."

“！！！” Yan Mo was shocked after hearing this, "What about after returning home?" Lord Liang didn't treat her..."

Jiang Shishi shook her head and said: "After returning home, she only said a word, Lord Liang was also to cure her illness, and she refused to speak again about other things..."

Could it be that Lord Liang just abused Liang Yanyan in flesh and skin, and did not do anything untoward to his daughter... Yan Mo recalled that there seemed to be no blood stains in the secret room of the Liang Mansion's study, although it was also possible that it was cleaned up extremely cleanly... The soft bed wasn't messy either... The pieces of clothing found were just a tip ... But what are those strange utensils for?

"What is the truth, I can only ask Mrs. Liang for clarification!" Yan Mo got up and thanked him, "Miss Jiang has worked hard for many days, so she can rest." Then he went out.

Qi Ming asked Lan Bo to take care of Jiang Shishi and keep up with Yan Mo's pace.

In the guest house, although Mrs. Liang is served and has no worries about food and clothing, she is not free!

Yan Mo still came to the room aggressively: "Mrs. Liang, Miss Liang has said everything!" When do you still want to be the Lord of the Guards?!! ”

"No... No, it won't... Yan Yan won't say..."Mrs. Liang's face turned pale for a moment,"

Yan Mo: "Madame may not know, when I was in the palace, I wanted to take Miss Liang away, Lord Liang was unwilling, it was Liang Girl, Niang, Niang, Pull on my sleeve, everyone watched, Lord Liang had to take her away by me." This shows that she really wants to ask for help! ”

"Ahh Mrs. Liang threw herself on her knees and cried, "Lord, princess! Please let my master go! He just wants to save Yanyan, not what you think, the master won't use that kind of crooked mind to his daughter! Yanyan lost her virginity after being captured, and we quietly investigated and didn't know who that person was!! Speaking of this, she cried even more sadly, "After returning home, Yanyan was like going crazy, and she sought death several times!" The boudoir woman was humiliated like this, and we couldn't blatantly seek medical treatment everywhere! In order to protect Yanyan's reputation and cure Yanyan, the old man searched for all the ways, but Yanyan... It's just not good... Later, the old man found a wild method, saying that if he applied pain to his body, his heart would feel better... Yanyan has been unable to seek death several times... I can't take it anymore... I had to let the master try that wild method..."

Yan Mo couldn't believe it, "So you're trying to get her rid of her cruel memories in an abusive way?!" ”

"This method still has a certain effect!" Mrs. Liang affirmed, "But it's unstable, Yanyan is good and bad... In order to ensure the effectiveness, the master often attacks Yanyan... In time... Yan Yan really forgot a little about the previous events, and began to be afraid of the master..."

"You're stupid!!" Yan Mo shouted angrily, "This is just drinking to quench your thirst!" One day, once that tight string breaks, Miss Liang will have a nervous breakdown!! You guys! You—" She was so angry that she couldn't speak, and it took a while for her to calm down, "Ignorance!! Not only did he fail to save Miss Liang, but he pushed her into the abyss and hell!! ”

"Ahh But—" said Mrs. Liang in horror, "but... Yanyan saw a good thing halfway... How could this not work! ”

"Those are just illusions!" Yan Mo said angrily, "Are you really okay when you see Yanyan?" Is there a perfect person under abuse? She's starting to be afraid of her father!! Liang is a scholar! How can you believe this... This kind of evil way is crooked!! ”

"Ahhh No, it won't... My Yanyan..."Mrs. Liang lay on the ground and said regretfully, "What should my mother do... Woo woo... In order to make you return to the original Yanyan!! What should my mother do!! ”

There was silence in the room... Only Mrs. Liang's cries hit the four walls, hammering people's hearts...

"Lord, princess." Qiu Bo appeared at the door and bowed, "Someone from Jingzhao Mansion is here." ”

"Come on, help Mrs. Liang up." Qi Ming said to the maidservant, and then turned to Qiu Bo, "Let him in." ”

The maidservant helped Mrs. Liang to sit up, and the official messenger came to the door of the guest house under the leadership of Qiu Bo.

"Meet the prince, princess," the official saluted, "Your Excellency has asked your subordinates to report that a new girl's body has been found in another suburb of Beijing!" This corpse is fresh, not virgin, and the corpse contains a red date in its mouth! ”

Everyone: "!! ”
