His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gong Bohuai were a little curious, so they asked what they had lost, Situ Yimo ignored Tang Wuchi's dark face, and told them about her bet with Tang Wuchi with a smile.

When they heard this, they all laughed unkindly. Tang Wuchi saw that they were smiling happily, and he was very heartbroken. I knew that he wouldn't bet with Situ Yimo. But he has been with Gong Bohuai for so long, why hasn't he learned a little bit of discernment?

"So, as Miss Situ said, those two are not husband and wife, but brothers and sisters who respect each other?" Gong Bohuai saw that Tang Wuchi's face was dark, he was happy for a while, and asked.

Tang Wuchi didn't want to admit it, but he still nodded honestly, "Yes, I went to investigate in person, those two people are the son and daughter of the county magistrate of Minxian County, the man's name is Zhang Yuren, and the girl's name is Zhang Manlan."

Zhang Yuren is the son born to the wife of the county commander, and he is seventeen years old this year, and he is still the one who will try to raise people this year. Zhang Manlan is just a concubine born to a concubine, and her biological mother is just a poor woman with no identity. ”

Situ Yimo frowned, "The son and young lady of the county order of Minxian County? ”

"yes, yes."

"There have been several murders in Min County, right? What are the children of the county magistrate of Minxian County doing in Baiyan Temple? And why did they go to the marriage tree? ”

Tang Wuchi saw that Situ Yimo was very curious, and looked like he was waiting for him to solve his doubts, and suddenly felt a little more comfortable, and told Situ Yimo everything he had heard.

"There were six murders in Min County, and it was rumored in the county that it was a female ghost asking for her life, which caused a lot of gossip and made the people uneasy.

As for Miss Zhang, I heard that her fiancé was among the deceased, and she came to Baiyan Temple to repay the marriage. ”

"Marriage?" Situ Yimo was surprised.

Tang Wuchi explained, "This is the rule of Min County, men and women in Min County are engaged, and both parties will get a marriage line, which is the implication of their fate." If one of the men and women who have a marriage contract accidentally leaves, then the other party has to return the marriage line, indicating that the marriage will be free in the future and there will be no more ties.

If the marriage line is not returned, the dead person will not be married even if he is reincarnated, because his marriage line is still in the hands of the living person, then he will entangle the living person. Therefore, Min County spread the matter of returning marriage. Usually they come to the temple to return the marriage. ”

"I see." Situ Yimo suddenly realized, it felt quite fresh, it was the first time she had heard about marriage.

Just thinking of something, she was a little curious, "Miss Zhang's fiancé shouldn't be an ordinary person, right?" Otherwise, there is really no need for a young master to accompany his sister-in-law to repay the marriage, because their relationship does not seem so good. ”

"Miss Situ, are you so sensitive to problems?" Tang Wuchi was a little curious that Situ Yimo would think of this, and paused for a moment before speaking.

"Miss Zhang's fiancé is Zhou Zhijun, the second son of a wealthy businessman in Min County, although Zhou Zhijun was born in a merchant family, but the Zhou family is an imperial businessman and is quite influential in Min County. Zhou Zhijun is bold by nature and has been friends with Zhang Yuren for many years. ”

"Oh--"

"As soon as you say that, I understand."

Situ Yimo drank a few mouthfuls of lotus seed porridge, and then looked at His Royal Highness the Prince, seeing that he was eating tofu very elegantly, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Gong Bohuai, seeing that he was also cold, and asked, "Why aren't you curious about the murder in Minxian?" That's six lives. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled, did not speak, and saw that Situ Yimo's bowl was at the bottom, and served her another bowl of lotus seed porridge.

Gong Bohuai paused for a moment and asked, "Should we be curious?" ”

"Shouldn't it? Isn't Dali Temple just investigating bizarre and bizarre cases? Isn't the serial murder case in Min County bizarre enough? There are rumors of demons and monsters. ”

Tang Wuchi frowned, they came out this time to investigate the case of Guan Yin's disappearance, this murder case in Minxian County, although he was curious and wanted to find out the murderer, but this case is not complicated, compared to the previous bell soul locking case, which locked twenty-two lives, this murder case is already very ordinary.

"The reason why I want to kill people in this world is because I love it too much, because I hate it too much, and because I am bored." Gong Bohuai suddenly said calmly.

Situ Yimo was really stunned, touched his eyebrows with the index finger of his right hand, thought for a while and asked, "Then according to Gong Shaoqing, the case in Min County, the murderer is because he loves it too much?" Or is it too hateful? Or is it because of boredom? ”

Without waiting for Gong Bohuai to speak, Tang Wuchi moved the stool, came to Situ Yimo's side, blinked his eyes, and said with a wicked smile, "The dead are all men, I think the murderer must be too hateful, and it's just too boring, killing so many people for no reason is just too cruel!"

Situ Yimo thought about it, in fact, she also thought that she hated it too much, otherwise how could she kill so many people so cruelly. In this way, the person will be punished sooner.

No matter how much she hates, she will not take people's lives, because she has always believed that murder is the most despicable means of revenge.

For no reason, though? She doesn't think so, there must be a reason why she is cruel enough to kill.

"If you kill someone because of hatred, it is really the saddest means of revenge, the enemy is dead, but the pain of carrying human life is still in his mind, this is not a kind of torture."

Seeing Tang Wuchi looking at her stunned, Situ Yimo raised his eyebrows and said, "I have seen many homicide cases, one of which was that the neighbor poisoned the person just because he stole a chicken, in fact, the yamen originally couldn't find evidence that he killed the person, and he couldn't stand the inner torture himself, so he came to the yamen to surrender." ”

As soon as Situ Yimo's words fell, he was silent for a long time, and only then did he hear Tang Wuchi talk about the outrageous cases he had been in contact with in recent years, and Situ Yimo sighed, and suddenly understood why they were not interested in the case in Minxian County.

It rained heavily for three days in Weicheng, and the county lord of Nirui felt that he was going to get moldy when he stayed at home, so he couldn't bear the boredom, so he braved the heavy rain and went to the prefect's yamen to find Shang Shuwei, seeing that she was researching new dishes, and was looking forward to trying it, but when he saw the black mess, he suddenly lost interest.

She cried out in boredom, saying that the days without Situ Yimo were like birds losing their wings.

In order to protect her ears, Shang Shuwei had no choice but to find something for her to do, and suddenly thought of the serial murder case of female ghosts in Min County.

Sure enough, when the county lord of Nirui heard this, his eyes lit up, and he pulled Shang Shuwei and ran to Min County, which was very close to Weicheng, just three tea away, and a half tea on horseback arrived.

There were six murder cases in Min County, everyone was honestly afraid, the streets and alleys were talking about the female ghost taking the soul, at a glance, there were only a handful of men on the street, except for some bold hawkers, even beggars did not dare to come out, and the restaurant and teahouse were even more deserted.

As soon as the county lord of Nirui got out of the carriage, he saw that the bustling streets of the past had become so deserted, blinked his eyes, and took Shang Shuwei's arm and walked towards the yamen.

The catcher in the yamen heard that it was the county lord of Nirui who came, and ran in a panic, and waited carefully and respectfully and very scared, answering all questions, and taking the initiative to explain the case without asking.

"This is a snack specially prepared for you, the county lord." The master swallowed his saliva, brought the dim sum, and asked cautiously, "County Lord, you deliberately deigned to take the lead, but to investigate the case?" ”

"Well, the lord of this county is here to hunt ghosts." The county lord of Nirui took a piece of snack, praised it for being delicious, and then looked at the master and said, "I heard, you already know where the ghost is?" ”

"Yes, Lord Shang and our adults have already rushed to Buwenglin."

"Are there really ghosts?" Shang Shuwei doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the world.

"Several villagers said that they saw a woman in red haunting Weng Lin, and they also witnessed the female ghost strangled people with her hair!"

"Oh?"

"The county lord has never seen a ghost before, so it's just time to open his eyes!"

Lord Nirui wiped his hands and rubbed his neck, he was bound to do a big job!

Seeing that Shang Shuwei was still stunned and didn't move, she pushed it gently, and said that she was not afraid of ghosts, Shang Shuwei was naturally not afraid, and she was so excited by the county lord of Nirui that she was so angry that she walked forward bravely.

The master knew that the lord of Nirui County had always been bold, and he knew that there were ghosts and wanted to catch ghosts, so he didn't say anything, and directly asked the four catchers to follow all the way.

There are many osmanthus trees growing on the forest, in autumn, ten miles of fragrance, many villagers like to stay here for a while, facing the wind with fragrance, they all feel refreshed.

But since the appearance of the female ghost in red, let alone getting close to the forest, even when they smelled the fragrance from afar, they all felt that it was the female ghost who was hooking the soul, and they were so afraid that they hid three feet away.

The Nirui County Lord smelled the ten miles of incense, and they didn't know why they felt gloomy and cold, and they had an inexplicable sense of fear, they stood at the mouth of the forest and didn't step into it for a long time.

Although Shang Shuwei was not afraid of ghosts, this gust of cold wind made her panic, and she suddenly didn't want to go in, but she didn't want to admit that she was afraid, so she kept waiting for the county lord of Nirui to give up first.

As everyone knows, the county lord of Nirui also thinks so, she has always been bold, but in the face of the lush woods, her body is numb by the cold wind, especially the dark clouds hanging low in the air, which makes her feel very depressed and panicked.

"Wang--"

"Ahh There's a dog! ”

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a fierce dog ran out, which frightened the Nirui County Lord and Shang Shuwei instinctively jumped and rushed straight to the forest in front.

"Ahh

"Ahh

"What's wrong, what's wrong, is the dog chasing?"

"It's not...... We ......"

The county lord of Nirui pulled Shang Shuwei and ran for a while, but he couldn't run until his legs were sore, and he didn't have time to catch his breath, when suddenly Shang Shuwei next to him shouted, so frightened that the county lord of Nirui thought that the dog was chasing him.

Hurriedly turned her head to look, but she didn't see the fierce figure of the dog, and she breathed a sigh of relief, but when she saw that they were in the forest, her eyes blinked and froze.
