Chapter 50: The Nine Heavens (4)
Cen Lianguan was asking someone to send the bundle back to the backyard when he heard that there was a corpse in the lotus pond and ran over curiously to see it.
Cen Jiu said: "You sister Tuo came here to do something, hurry up and walk away from the bad luck." Saying that, he stretched out his hand to stop it, Cen Lianguan dodged left and right, came to the shore, and was about to look inside, when he stepped on the pebble without paying attention, and with a sigh, his body leaned into the lotus pond. Cen 13 shouted, "Oh, be careful. ”
With a stretch of his long arm, he picked up Cen Lianguan firmly and protected him in his arms, and quickly let go of his hand, letting Cen Lianguan stand steadily, and said in a low voice: "Miss Cen, be careful." ”
Cen Lianguan's face was so red that she could drip blood, and she kept her head down and didn't dare to raise her head. Cen 13 said: "Look, how dangerous it is, there is a big murderer here, hurry up and go to the backyard." ”
Cen Lianguan looked at the female corpse that was carried up, most of the body was wrapped in mud and weeds, and there was not much silt on the face, and he could vaguely see the appearance before he was born: he was a beauty.
"Wait, this one...... I've seen it. ”
Cen Lianguan pointed to the corpse and shouted.
Cen Jiu stepped forward to pull her sleeve: "Okay, don't mess around, what is the little girl's family doing here." ”
"Miss Shum knows this person?"
The corners of Zengshou's mouth are smiling, his eyebrows and eyes are full of affection, and his eyes are gentle as if they are about to drip water.
She ...... She's a dancer, I've seen her. ”
"It's a bit fun to dance into the lotus pond."
Zengshou clapped his hands: "Jiu Shuai, is there a dancing girl in this mansion?" ”
Cen Jiu shook his head: "How is it possible?" ”
"I'll just say, Da Shuai and Jiu Shuai won't be so stingy, the house has dancing girls and they don't show us, every time they come to drink, there are no dancing girls to accompany them."
Zeng Shou's eyes were full of stars with a smile, and Cen Lianguan stared at his face, not wanting to take his eyes off.
"Hey, why is this dancer here?" Luo Fan digressed the topic.
"About a month ago, she came to the house, she came with the people of Qiuxianglou, that day her father had a big banquet, she came to help the fun, she was in the backyard at that time, and asked me to go...... How to get to Dengdong, she said that her name is Xian'er, and she dances the Nine Heavens Xuannu Dance. ”
Cen Lianguan finished speaking in one breath: "But how could she appear in the lotus pond?" ”
Thinking that there was a corpse in the mud of the lotus pond that he passed by every day, it was still someone he had seen before, Cen Lianguan began to tremble. Zengshou didn't think about it, and gently pressed her shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Cen, don't be afraid." ”
"Does the nine handsome have an impression of this dancing girl?"
Zeng Shou looked at Cen Jiu, and he found that the other party was staring intently at the lotus pond, when the soldiers in the lotus pond shouted: "Here! And also! ”
Two men dragged out a wooden box and dragged it ashore little by little.
"There's a box here, weird." Luo Fan pulled out his waist knife and flicked the lock on the box, his knife sharpened iron like clay, and with a little force, the lock fell down with a click. Cen Lianguan was so frightened that he hid behind Zengshou, covered his eyes, and felt curious, looking out from between his fingers, only to see Luo Fan carefully inserting the back of the knife into the lid of the box, and lifted it suddenly, a rancid smell spread, Zengshou covered his mouth and nose, Cen Lianguan vomited, Luo Fan endured nausea and looked inside, the box was a very small baby, almost rotten clean, the small skeleton was connected with wisps of tendons, and there were insects drilling between the thin bones and muscles.
"This is ......" Luo Fan took a bamboo pole and played with it a few times, revealing the cloth wrapped under the skeleton, which was soaked in pus and blood, and only the yellow color could be seen at the corner of the table, which turned out to be yellow satin.
Who can use yellow satin? "What is this? How is a baby wrapped in yellow satin? ”
Luo Fan used a bamboo pole to pick out the baby's skeleton along with the yellow cloth piece. Zengshou covered his mouth, and his urn voice was angry: "This should be the child of the thief chief." ”
That is, the children of the head of Wu, the head of Wu proclaimed himself the emperor of the heavenly saints, built the capital of Tianjing City, divided more than 100 imperial mothers, gave birth to a few children, and these imperial mothers did not know where to flee on the day of the city break, and later Cen Dashuai's excerpt only said that he escaped from the young sect leader Wu Tianfu, and did not mention other children.
"Jiu Shuai, what's going on? How could the son of the thief chief be in the lotus pond of Shuaifu? And how could it be with the corpse of the dancing fairy? ”
Luo Fan asked, pointing to the baby's skeleton on the ground.
Cen Jiu was furious: "How do I know that this Shuai Mansion used to be the palace of the thief chieftain, and the thief chief searched for countless women here, God knows how many babies were born, and how strange it was to die in the lotus pond." ”
"Keep digging and see what else you can dig up?"
Zengshou stood on the shore and clapped his hands: "There are so many treasures in this Shuai Mansion, Jiu Shuai, I guess you must not have set off firecrackers when you chose this place to be Shuai Mansion, and you must have done such an unfortunate thing." ”
"You're right, I, Cen Jiu, have killed countless people, and I never believe in ghosts and gods."
Cen Jiu's eyes were cold. Zeng Shou ignored him, only looking at the female corpse wrapped in mud on one side. He saw a different picture: the woman got up, smiled at him, dressed in a light veil dance costume and combed her hair into a high bun, and she got up and began to dance, spreading her arms and spinning. Zeng Shou thought that this weird-looking dance should be the Nine Heavens Xuannu Dance, and he didn't know how it could be called such a name.
Suddenly, a strap came around the woman's neck, and the woman couldn't stop struggling, her hands scratching in the air, the strap tightened more and more, and the woman grabbed the strap with both hands. I tried to struggle hard, but finally my hands hung down weakly.
The belt was taken away, and the murderer standing behind the woman only flashed, and Zengshou couldn't see who he was at all, only in a trance that he should be a general wearing a silver helmet, and the woman fell to the ground and didn't move.
Zeng Shou pointed to the female corpse and said, "This woman was strangled to death." Cen Jiu sneered: "I didn't wait for the servant to come, do you know again?" Adults are really versatile. ”
At this time, Cen 13 had already hurried over with his wife, who was a thin old man, hurriedly saluted Cen Jiu, put on a pair of gloves, stuffed wormwood into his nostrils, and squatted down to examine the corpse.
Cen Lianguan whispered, "My lord, I'm afraid. ”
Zeng Shou gently put his arm around her, looked at Cen Shisan, and said, "Mr. Cen, please send Miss Cen back, the young girl is really not suitable here." ”
Cen 13 nodded: "Lianguan let's go." Cen Lianguan glanced up at Zengshou, her eyes were tactful and hidden infinitely shy, she wanted to say that I wanted Lord Qincha to send me back, but in front of many people, how could she be embarrassed to say it.
Zengshou said softly: "Go back quickly, the seventh day of the first month is still waiting for you, don't worry me." ”
Cen Lianguan's heart was about to fly, and when Luo Fan heard this, his face changed: Talk next to the corpse, increase the number of juniors, you can.
