Nangong He had already noticed the person on the tree, but he saw that the other party was a woman, and he didn't cause any inconvenience to himself, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Seeing that Zhen Bei seemed to have a good impression of this Tuji princess, she couldn't help but feel more hostile to her in her heart, so she was not very happy and said, "Yes! Master Bao was still in the palace, and he begged his father to withdraw from the marriage with guilt! ”

"But, Lord Qin is too pitiful! The emperor has already agreed? Peony said indignantly.

Nangong Heding looked at Zhen Bei, did not miss any expression on her face, and said unexpectedly: "My father has not agreed yet, but with Concubine Bao on the side, I should agree in less than three days!" ”

"I never thought that Miss Bao was such a superficial person! That's fine, if you get married in a daze, there is such a housewife, Sister Xiaoqian doesn't know how much she will be wronged! "Peony has been to the Qin Mansion with Zhenbei, this girl has a cheerful personality, and she can quickly become friends with anyone.

After sighing for Lord Qin, who had always admired, she shook her head and turned back to the kitchen, and then went to work.

Zhen Bei didn't feel sorry for Qin Wuchen, she vaguely guessed that the reason why Miss Bao Er would withdraw from the marriage was probably inseparable from Qin Wuchen's secret instructions.

She sat down opposite Nangong He: "Say it!" What interesting facts did you learn? ”

Seeing that she finally stopped ignoring him, like a child, Nangong He smiled brightly and said, "Which one do you want to hear?" Was Qin Wuchen with blood on his hands and had a secret meeting with Miss Bao Er at night, or did he bring the case record with him, and while talking to Miss Bao Er, he read a paragraph of the deceased's appearance from time to time, and pondered it in amazement? ”

Zhen Bei forced a smile and said, "Say it next to you!" ”

Princess Keya's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was anxious on the tree: "Gu Zhenbei, can I go to your yard and sit down?" ”

Zhen Bei glanced at her with a smile and said, "Princess, please!" ”

Nangong He is not good at laughing, but this slow and logical tone adds a bit of inexplicable joy.

The exaggerated laughter of Zhenbei and Princess Keya successfully attracted Peony again

Come here.

Nangong He looked at the three people who were leaning forward and backward with a smile, and a touch of confusion flashed in his eyes, is it really so funny?

However, Zhen Bei laughed so heartily, it was the first time he had seen it, and at this moment, he suddenly felt that he should say something more, and even the Tuji princess who was in the way seemed to have become much more pleasing to the eye.

That night, Princess Keya was invited by Zhenbei to stay in this courtyard and have dinner together.

In the next few days, every day, as long as Zhenbei returned to the courtyard, Princess Keya would always come to get together.

This gave Nangong He a delusion, as if the princess, who kept claiming to be for him, was selling dog meat with her head up, and using his name to cover up her intention to get close to Zhenbei.

It was precisely because of this that after a long time, he looked at this little princess with vigilance in his eyes!

On this day, as usual, as soon as Zhen Bei returned to her residence, Princess Keya heard the voice and ran over impatiently to watch her play against Nangong He.

Before the winner or loser of the game was decided, Qin Wuchen rushed over.

Zhen Bei looked at Qin Wuchen, who had always been serious and serious, and remembered the bad trick he thought of in order to get Miss Bao Er out of the marriage, and couldn't help but look him up and down, and laughed out loud.

Even Princess Koya stared at him with interest for a long time.

Qin Wuchen was surrounded by the eyes of these two people, like looking at monsters, coughed uncomfortably, and said, "Brother Gu, I have something I can't understand this time, I want to hear your opinion?" ”

Seeing that his application was serious, Zhen Bei knew that it must be a big deal, so she hurriedly calmed down and asked, "But there is another bizarre case?" ”

Qin Wuchen glanced at Nangong He, and seeing that he didn't strongly object, Fang Shen sighed and said, "This case itself is not unusual, and it has been solved as early as half a month ago!" It's just that at the time of the execution, something unexpected happened! ”

Generally speaking, only in the process of solving the case, there will be many intractable obstacles, once the guilt is decided, for the guilty criminal, the last minute execution, is just a formality!

Zhen Bei was puzzled: "Lord Qin, please speak more carefully. ”

Qin Wuchen said: "Brother Gu, do you know what is the execution method for death row criminals in the Asda Jia Country?" ”

Astaja is a country near the edge of the desert, and although it is a large country, due to its special climate, the number of citizens is far less than that of other countries with the same territory.

The people here have their own unique religions, they firmly believe in the existence of a creator, and believe that those who have committed sins can only return to the earth and enter the next cycle if their bodies are suspended between heaven and earth and are baptized and forgiven by the creator sun and moon gods.

Thus, in this country, death row prisoners are subjected to a criminal law that they call "final repentance", ending their lives!

Regarding this kind of criminal law, Zhen Bei has seen its record in the scroll more than once.

It is to build a wooden platform with a height of one foot, dig a hole in the middle of the wooden platform that only allows one person to pass through, and place a foot board that is enough to carry the weight of the human body in the place below it.

Above the platform hangs a beam suspended from a rope, with a stake as the fulcrum and the other end controlled by the executor.

During this execution, the presiding priest first dressed the prisoner in a sacrificial robe embroidered with the holy sanctity of the sun and the moon, and made him stand on the footboard.

The rope on the crossbar will hang around the prisoner's neck, and the rope on the crossbar will be quickly straightened by two executors who press down on the other end of the stake's fulcrum, and at the same time the footboard under the prisoner's feet will suddenly fall, and the prisoner will be hanged under the wooden platform because of the tightening around his neck.

At this time, the onlookers chant the scriptures together, and after about half a pillar of incense, the prisoner has died, and the presiding priest holds a wicker soaked in holy water and sprinkles it on the deceased, so that the deceased's previous life sins are over, and the body can be buried in the earth.

Zhen Bei bowed her head slightly and said, "I know a little bit about it." Lord Qin's troubles, but it has something to do with the criminal law of Asdajia? ”

Qin Wuchen sighed: "This matter still has to start with the few national treasures lost in the Asdajia Kingdom!" Three years ago, Chelton, a disciple of the High Priest of his country, took advantage of his position to steal several treasures from the treasury and escaped. ”

The royal family and the high priest of Astaga were extremely angry, and issued a pursuit order to capture Chelton everywhere, but the other party seemed to have completely disappeared from this world, and there was no trace of him.

However, on the way to Nanyang to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother, the envoy of Asdajia Kingdom ran into a seriously injured Chelton!

Chelton was cunning and wise, and after being captured, the envoys followed the instructions sent by the emperor to force them to find out the whereabouts of the missing national treasure.

For this reason, Chelton tried his best to express his dissatisfaction, and it was a great shame for him not to be able to purify his soul after death!

In his capacity as a shaman, he cursed the superiors and messengers, stating that after his death, they would soon fall into hell as mourners, because they were betrayers of the sun and moon gods!

Chelton's spell made the messengers tremble, but if they disobeyed the Holy Lord's orders, they would still be dead!

The status of the priest in the Asdajia country is extremely high, and the status of the high priest is almost equal to that of the emperor.

Among the envoys, there was a priest who was originally the younger brother of this Chelton, his name was Gagger, and he was obviously a little more taboo about the curse of his senior brother than others, and he once reached a state of unrestless sleep and trance.

"Because of their special beliefs, they chose the Ten Thousand Snake Cave next to the prison cell of the Criminal Department as the place to execute Chelton!" Qin Wuchen continued.

The Ten Thousand Snake Cave is the emperor of the previous dynasty, built to punish the rebels, is a bluestone house that is half a zhang higher than the ordinary house, and there are five or six stone steps in the room to arch out of the stone platform.

Under the stone platform is an underground stone cave about two feet high, and thousands of snakes are kept in the cave.

Therefore, the criminal law was too vicious and cruel, and it was abolished a hundred years ago, and all the snakes in the cave were burned to death and turned into ashes, and the cave of ten thousand snakes did not live up to its name.

The layout is similar to the torture platform used by Asdajia, and as long as ropes are hung from the beams of the house and the prisoners are pushed under the stone platform, the ritual is barely completed.

In this way, they can continue to claim to be the descendants of the sun and moon gods, and receive the protection of the gods, and the curse of Chelton will be wiped out and no longer work!

Therefore, after hearing about this place, those envoys hurriedly asked Emperor Nanyang to borrow this place for the execution of Chelton!

"However, after they dropped the prisoner to death, after reading the scriptures, when Gagger was about to sprinkle holy water to collect the body, he found that the rope was empty, and the body of the senior brother was gone, only the bottom of the snake cave was scattered, and the clothes he was wearing in front of him were scattered!" Qin Wuchen said.

"It's not simple, there must be a secret passage in the grotto, and Chelton took advantage of their chanting to escape from the secret passage!" Princess Keya smiled and clapped her hands, disapproving.

Zhen Bei smiled slightly: "In order to prevent the snakes from burrowing and climbing outside to hurt people, when the snake cave was built, a thick bluestone slab was deliberately selected, and a special thing was filled in the gap between the plates. If there is any place in the world, there is no need to worry about being carved out of the secret passage by hand and foot, and this snake cave must be one of them! ”

In her previous life, because of a case, she had entered the cave of ten thousand snakes and tortured a wicked criminal, and she was very familiar with the situation there.

Qin Wuchen added: "And when they are executed, although in order to avoid the expression of the prisoner crying bitterly when he struggles before death, which will affect the mood during the recitation, they will deliberately make the length of the rope longer so that it can cover under the torture platform. However, it is absolutely necessary to ensure that the prisoner's heel is some distance from the ground! How did Chelton escape from the snake cave with his hands tied and his ropes tightened around his neck? ”

Princess Keya smiled on her face, and said with a pale face: "This is strange, could it be that the person's body turned into smoke and disappeared?" ”
