Chapter 15: The Poison of Ugin

On this day and night, Xiao Biao stayed awake all night, she probably drew the shape of the gold bead, and as soon as the morning dawned, she took it to Yanyu Building to find a folding fan to discuss.

Today is the morning play of the folding fan, the folding fan is singing on stage, and a Loulan girl named "Yulan" is arranged to greet Xiao Biao.

Yulan has a round face, and her smile is very cute, she saw Xiao Biao, and her heart was even more happy: "Little general, wait here for a while, this matchmaker will end in the morning, hehe, I heard the folding fan say that the little general will not die, but I have never had the opportunity to meet, today I saw the little general, my heart is about to jump out, the little general is our hero of Loulan." ”

Although Xiao Biao was anxious, he was still very calm on the surface: "Miss Yulan is overrated, I'm not a hero, I just did something I had to do." ”

Yulan smiled sweetly and said, "It's the little general who is humble, the little general, do you remember the thirty-three Praetorian Guards who guarded the city?" After you captured them alive, they were only imprisoned for a while, and when Loulan was defeated, you released them all, and gave them some silver taels to live well, saying that they were all heroes, and they probably didn't have to worry about food and clothing. ”

Xiao Biao was puzzled: "Strange, you little girl, how do you know so clearly?" ”

"Hehe, in fact, most of these people who follow the folding fan are the descendants of the thirty-three Praetorian Guards, and there are also children adopted by them, my father is a Praetorian Guard, and he tells me the story of the little general every day, saying that you are a hero and have saved many innocent people in Loulan."

"Silly boy, in fact, I am not as spirited as your father said." Xiao Yang said: "I released the thirty-three Praetorian Guards back then, because I didn't want them to bury the martial arts they had learned in half their lives into the loess like that, but they were able to tie with my personal guards back then. ”

Yulan still smirked and said, "That's also the little general's magnanimity, and there are many people in Loulan who adore you, and they all believe that you were sent by the Heavenly Mother to save them. ”

The myth of Loulan is unique in the world, but just casually turning people into "sent by the Heavenly Mother" is also a bit of a headache, because you don't know how to explain this.

After a while, the folding fan stepped down, and he didn't take off his makeup and went directly to the private room to find Xiao Biao.

Fold the fan and said, "Little General, is there anything important that you came to me so early?" ”

Xiao Biao's expression was very serious, she took out the drawings she had drawn, handed them to the folding fan, and said, "There is an unusual thing, the dumb man in the Regent's Mansion died, and the dumb man has this kind of bead in his stomach, I heard Yu Wenjing say that this bead is related to Loulan, I want to ask you what you think." ”

"This bead ......," said the folding fan, carefully examining the drawing, "This bead looks like something used in the punishment of Ugin...... There is a torture in Loulan, called the punishment of Wujin, which is to pour gold the size of millet grains into the human body, the gold fragments quickly expand in the body and release some black water, blocking the entire mouth and nose of the tortured person, so that it suffocates, these gold beads will gather with the meridians to the abdomen after death, so that people show the appearance of poisoning, this kind of punishment is mostly used for unchaste and unfilial women, it is a relatively special punishment. ”

Xiao Yang frowned and said, "Is this thing really from Loulan?" Is it possible that this thing is from Loulan......"

"It's likely, but it's not very likely." The folding fan said very seriously: "This is the punishment of Gu Loulan, which has only been recorded in detail in books, because the execution process is too cruel, and the cost of gold beads is very high, Loulan has not used the punishment of Ugin for hundreds of years." ”

Yulan listened with a serious expression, and added on the side: "I heard that this kind of punishment was introduced to the Lan Dynasty with ancient books more than ten years ago, and some frenzied Jianghu people are also using it. ”

The folding fan nodded and said: "What Yulan said is reasonable, Loulan's punishment or not is decided by the sacrificial ceremony, and after asking the 'Heavenly Mother'." ”

"Then there are only a few people left." Xiao Biao rubbed his temples and said, "But in this huge Lan Dynasty, finding a person from the rivers and lakes is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and I always feel that this dumb man must know something...... Otherwise, you won't be crazy, and you will be killed. ”

Xiao Yang tried his best to think about it, and the dumb girl's demeanor suddenly flashed with inspiration......

Hiss...... That wall behind the dining room!

The mute girl seemed to be talking to someone behind the dining room that day, probably interrupted by the golden hairpin, and the person who was supposed to connect with her was scared away.

Xiao Biao knocked on the table and said, "I have to go back to the palace." ”

"Little general, you wait a minute."

The folding fan stopped Xiao Biao and said, "If you are not in a hurry, I want to take you to meet a person who also has some relationship with the punishment of Ugin." ”

Xiao Biao thought for a moment and asked, "Who?" ”

"Didn't the little general ask me to look for the spider's spider venom a few days ago, and I accidentally learned about this person on the way to find it." Folding Fan patiently explained: "He is a member of the Sikong family, the nephew of the current head of the family, and for some reason, he suddenly cut his hair a few months ago and went to Anguo Temple near the outskirts of the city to become a monk. ”

Xiao Biao put on an incredible expression and said, "The people of the Sikong family have always been arrogant, how could they cut their hair to become a monk?" And what does this have to do with Ugin's punishment? ”

"The little general doesn't know yet, this cold spider poison is the only thing that can relieve Ugin's punishment." The folding fan pinched his chin and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, in recent months, many famous women in the rivers and lakes have gone to ask for cold spider venom and relieve the Ugin on their bodies, it is said that the Ugin on those heroines is not very heavy, and there are only one or two, and they can be forced out of the body by means of cold spider venom." ”

Xiao Yang said: "In this way, this Ugin seems to be something that prevails in the rivers and lakes, hiss...... Anyway, it's not easy for me to go out of the house, so it's better to go to Anguo Temple first to see the bald young master of the Sikong family, and then go to do other things. ”

The folding fan nodded and said, "Well, when I remove my makeup first, I will accompany the little general." ”

Yulan also seemed to be interested, and said loudly: "I, me, me, the folding fan, I want to go too, what you said is so interesting, anyway, there will be no danger in going to Anguo Temple, you just take me, I ...... I haven't had enough time with the little general! ”

"This ......" the folding fan looked at Xiao Biao with some embarrassment.

Xiao Biao said that it didn't matter, and said with a slight smile: "Then let's go together." ”

The folding fan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he knocked on Yulan's little head, and said, "You, you are so fun-loving, you have to follow me when you get to Anguo Temple, don't talk nonsense to the monks in the temple, you know?" ”

After a few words of instruction from the folding fan like a big brother, he will remove his makeup backstage.

At this time, in the crowd below the stage, Yu Wenjing was dressed in civilian clothes, staring at the private room upstairs, and Dongfang Mu next to him was very helpless, and said: "Big brother, if you want to catch the adulterer, go up, keep staring at you like this to see if you are tired, tsk, others used to say that you were boring, I still have to argue a few words, but now it seems that you are really bored at home." ”

Dongfang Mu complained to Yu Wenjing, but Yu Wenjing seemed very disapproving.

After a while, a sentence popped up for some reason: "She likes to listen to operas, should I learn it?" ”

Dongfang Mu: "......"
