Chapter 276 is another homicide
The information collected by Minghui also mentioned that the patriarch of Buthanger had been guarding the treasures in the mountains for generations, and if he wanted to please the mountain god, he did not need to sacrifice the girl. If someone violates the rules handed down from their ancestors, they anger the mountain god.
Two girls with matching birthdays were selected to be sent into the mountains for sacrifice.
The sacrificial maiden is fake, so what is the so-called treasure? Jing Jiu still has important things to do, and he can't stay in this city for long. But the treasure in the deep mountains tickled his heart again.
If you really want to find clues carefully, and then spend energy to find treasures from the deep mountains and old forests, you may not be able to go back until the end of the year.
If you can't get it, you are unwilling to do it, the patriarch's face looks like he is sixty years old, and he still has such a dirty mind. will only deceive the people who are kept in the dark, and I am afraid that they have also looted a lot of silver taels.
Jing Jiu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, thinking about the treasure in his heart. If he can't get it now, then let them not get it either.
At the fifth watch, everyone is still in their dreams, the sky has not yet been polished, and no one notices the black eyes in the deep forest. By the time the fire broke out and the people of Butengri woke up to realize that something was wrong, the fire had reached their house.
The people in the mountains were frightened, and they were busy blowing their horns to wake everyone up and directing them to go out. The old man had a calm face, and the brocade box that was held tightly in cloth in his arms was escorted away by the others.
The place they chose was often blown by the wind through the valley, and the summer was not hot at all. The fire seemed to have been burned not far away, and by the direction of the wind it had reached the place where the people lived.
The people inside struggled to escape for their lives, and the people outside had nothing to do, and the difficulty of walking into the mountain road would only add a few more lives. I could only watch as the fire swallowed the Buttenge tribe.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the fire to fall and rain down. The man who set fire to the mountain slept so hard that he could continue his journey when the rain had stopped.
——
Su Xiangsi's wound has fallen off the scab and left a faint red mark, and he still needs to apply the medicine frequently to disappear quickly.
"Fortunately, Nie Yong insisted on making a light meal for Miss, otherwise this mark would be even more difficult to erase."
Hold a round fan and fan it lightly to make the ointment marks dry faster.
Miss Fang knocked on the door again. I come to greet every day, I really care about Miss, and I don't want to leave if I don't see Miss. Ning Tingting came into the house to report, but the young lady told her that no one was allowed to enter the Tingzhu Courtyard, and she didn't dare to make decisions without permission.
Su Xiangsi raised her eyes and looked at the weather outside, which was very dull and dull: "I know that she cares a lot, and she doesn't have to come here every day." It's raining now, let her go back. ”
As soon as the words fell, thunder rang out outside, and the downpour fell without warning.
Su Xiangsi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and urged Ning Tingting: "Send her an umbrella quickly." You boil brown sugar and ginger water to send catkins. ”
This unlucky child, in case he dies, he will get wet at the door of the bamboo courtyard and something will go wrong. Dirty water was going to be poured on her again.
The rain will not stop for a while, and the strong wind and lightning and thunder are really terrifying. In such weather, no one will go out easily.
Su Xiangsi picked up the paperweight casually and pressed the book on the table so that it was not disturbed by the wind whistling into the house, it had been summer for so long. This is the first time that such a rainstorm has not stopped.
"It's almost autumn."
"Five days to go."
The heavy rain did not dissipate the tense atmosphere in the capital, but made it more disturbing. Autumn was just around the corner, and the students in the capital became extremely nervous.
The notices posted by the household department indicate that the number of people participating in the autumn festival is several times higher than that of the spring festival.
This undoubtedly increases the pressure on all students, there are so many people, and there are only a few places that can enter the list. All of them sharpened their heads and wanted to get in.
It's a place of glory and wealth, showing off your talent step by step.
Everyone worked hard to spare every quarter of an hour, and the Guangna Cultural Museum was crowded with people every day, and the closing time was delayed by half an hour.
Mrs. Su was even more nervous than the big room and the second room, and she also gave an order to anyone who disturbed the two sons, Wen Shu, in the house, and moved the family law.
When the time was approaching, Su Mingrun was not nervous, nor did he force himself to read the book until late at night. Cheng only stayed in Qingmei Courtyard and rarely went out.
Su Mingyuan is still that elegant and gentle, confident, and often appears in the Guangna Museum.
Qiu Yu was going to stay in the examination room for three days, and the two ladies were already busy preparing the quilt for their baby son. I heard that the conditions of living inside are hard, and some people can't even stand to leave early, but this year is in vain.
If you can't live well, how can you calm down and write questions.
It's rare that Su Mingjin can come back to have dinner with her tonight, and she usually only sees her in three or four days.
"The sachet made by my sister is good, and the mosquito repellent effect is better than that given by the military doctor." Su Mingjin sat opposite her, pinching the black chess pieces between her fingers and falling steadily.
Su Xiangsi frowned, what are you doing badly, she just wants to play chess.
"My brother is also working hard when he comes back from Weiliang, I just do what I can."
Su Mingjin took out a piece of pigeon's blood gem and handed it to him, with a proud face: "I found it from that person's nest, this color is so beautiful." You're sure to like it. ”
It's really beautiful, this gem is still uncarved, just keep it for my sister-in-law to set in jewelry.
Eyes motioned for catkins to bring things over.
"The clothes I made for my brother have been delivered a long time ago, but I haven't been able to see you as a busy person."
Su Mingjin's eyes were slightly solemn, and she lowered her voice: "If you divide for a long time, you will be together, and you will be separated for a long time." It will be busier in the future. ”
Rosin hurriedly entered the house, her face faintly pale and uneasy: "Young master, miss." There was a murder in the capital, and it was two female corpses. ”
Su Xiangsi nodded, the tip of her tongue against her gums. It also took a while to suppress the strange feeling in my heart. I guess it's a pity.
Seeing that her face was pale, I thought she was frightened.
"There is instability in the capital, you don't go out."
"Brother, you can stay in the house for the next few days. Grandmother hasn't seen you in a while. ”
Su Xiangsi's eyes were extremely serious, and Su Mingjin looked into her eyes. After a few breaths, he nodded slightly.
"Okay, listen to you."
——
At night, terrifying screams sounded in the capital, making people's scalps tingle. It even alarmed the officials who patrolled at night. When he arrived at the scene, he gasped.
In the corner of the incisive mess lay two female corpses, stripped naked, and their limbs hung in a pile of miscellaneous goods in this strange posture. His body was covered in bruises and even whip marks.
There are many wounds, old and new.
The larger wound was still bleeding out, and it was gradually diluted by the rain. The person next to him fell to the ground wearing a robe, his face was blue, and his legs were weak.
The captain of the team crawled and knocked on the door of Lord Jing Zhaoyin's mansion.
The torrential rain washed away the capital all night, and the day was even heavier than yesterday. The streets are empty, and there is no movement in such weather.
Xue Zi leaned on the door frame, clutching a handful of melon seeds in his hand, bored. The heavy rain also affected the business, and there were no customers after noon.
It's been a hard time for the officials who have been running back and forth, and they haven't been able to rest until last night. The murderous murder case found in the capital spread all over the capital overnight.
Lord Jing Zhaoyin has not been able to have a peaceful birthday this year, and Su Xuan's case has not been settled and has been dragging on. Now such a thing has come out again, and besides, the emperor ordered this morning that this matter should be strictly investigated and will not be tolerated.
