Chapter 15: The Bloodstained Butterfly Mark
Miss Liu stood there and watched the man being escorted by the brocade guard, but she could only watch like that.
That person was still wearing the same robe that day outside the gate of Dajue Temple, but at that time the clothes were neat, and at this time the clothes were tattered, and the clothes were also covered with blood stains, and it seemed that he had been tortured by the Jinyi guards.
Miss Liu's eyes kept staring at the man, and the man seemed to sense the gaze here, and glanced at Miss Liu, but he only glanced at him, and walked slowly with his head down.
Miss Liu remembered that year, when Ling Yunyi, the governor of Liangguang, escorted away groups of villagers, and remembered the mountain village that burned the village and covered the mountains with corpses.
Who is not sad and sad when they see it, the court is so cruel that it does not care about the lives of the villagers.
Miss Liu thought of this, and breathed heavily in her chest.
She knew she couldn't save this man, but she only came to give him a ride, even if it was to look at him quietly one last time.
She felt a slight pain in the butterfly mark on her neck, and Miss Liu reached out and touched the place.
Suddenly, the place where she picked up the knife and wiped her neck was the place where the butterfly mark was, and there was a wound there, and it was this wound that killed her.
Miss Liu retracted her hand and quietly glanced at her fingers, and she saw that there was a slight red on them, like the color of the red fabric on her clothes, and like blood.
Miss Liu didn't know if it was blood or color.
She wondered if the place where her butterfly mark had a red, blood-like hue. Miss Liu was afraid that Jian Xiu would see her abnormality, so she hurriedly shook her hand, worried that he would see it.
"I'll show you around again." Jian Xiu was talking to her.
Miss Liu came back to her senses and replied, "Okay." ”
She looked back at the man again, and the brocade guard had already been escorted out.
Miss Liu didn't have any extra thoughts to continue to wander around in the Jinyiwei Command Mission, she said goodbye to Jian Xiu, and Chunlin went out to command the Mission.
The people on the street seem to be walking in one direction, and that is the South City Gate Execution Ground.
Miss Liu didn't plan to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she also walked to the South City Gate. Chunlin hurriedly followed and asked, "Miss, are you going to the South City Gate?" ”
Miss Liu said "um".
Chunlin said busily again, "But it's very messy there today, Miss better not go, if something happens again, the slave can't bear this responsibility." ”
"Go and see, it'll be fine." Miss Liu said, her steps faster.
"Isn't this Miss Cousin from the Prime Minister's Office?" Some of the pedestrians were talking to Miss Liu.
Miss Liu stopped and saw that Zhang Momo was talking to her, Miss Liu was too lazy to take care of her, and was about to leave, when her arm was grabbed by Zhang Momo.
Miss Liu glared at her indifferently, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Momo smiled and said, "I want to invite Miss Liu to sit upstairs." ”
Zhang Momo pointed to the wine shop behind her as she spoke.
Miss Liu raised her eyes and looked at the majestic wine shop, she was not interested in Zhang Momo's invitation, pulled out her hand, and said lightly, "Don't go, I'm not free." ”
Zhang Momo's heart was cold, but she smiled again, "Miss Liu doesn't give Momo face like this, Momo is sincerely invited." ”
Miss Liu was about to step forward, "Another day." ”
Zhang Momo grabbed her again, "Miss Liu really doesn't want to go up and sit?" ”
At this time, Chunlin was full of anger and hurriedly protected it, opened Zhang Momo's hand, and said softly, "Didn't you hear my young lady say not to go!" ”
Zhang Momo glared at Chunlin and said, "How can you use your strength, Miss Ben's hands are hurt by you." ”
Chunlin glanced at her indifferently, not bothering to pay attention to her.
Miss Liu had no choice but to say, "I will definitely go to the appointment another day." ”
Zhang Momo hurriedly said, "Okay, the day after tomorrow, Momo will invite Miss Liu to come again, Momo sincerely wants to be friends with Miss Liu." ”
Miss Liu nodded lightly and hurriedly left again, and Chunlin hurriedly followed.
It's a pity that when Miss Liu arrived at the execution ground, the execution had already been completed, and only the people who were still evacuated remained.
Miss Liu strode to the side of the execution table, and a large pool of blood, bright red blood, was shed on the execution table.
Seeing the blood, Miss Liu's neck felt pain again.
She felt her own incomparably angry, and the anger that made her unable to calm down.
Chunlin was frightened by Miss Liu's vicious eyes, and she remembered that day, when Miss Liu was tied up, her eyes glowed red, and in her anger, she actually broke the rope that tied her body.
At this time, although Miss Liu's eyes were not red, the anger in her eyes was the same as that day.
Chunlin was so shocked that she cautiously called out to her, "Miss, Miss......"
Miss Liu turned her head and looked at Chunlin's panic, and after a while, she quieted down and regained her former weakness.
Chunlin once again thought she was dazzled, and touched her chest to calm herself enough.
She stepped forward and grabbed Miss Liu's wrist and said, "Miss, let's go back, it's nothing to look at." ”
Miss Liu just glanced at her, and then looked around for something, and muttered to herself, "If someone dies, who will collect the corpse?" ”
"What?" Chunlin was surprised.
"I said that this prisoner who was beheaded by the imperial court, after the person dies, who will collect the body?" Miss Liu asked unusually calmly.
This question, how does Chunlin know, she shook her head.
Miss Liu knew she didn't know.
At this time, Miss Liu saw that someone was cleaning up the blood stains on the torture table, and she hurriedly stepped forward and asked the person, "Who collected the corpse?" ”
The man glanced at Miss Liu, as if he was surprised by her weak woman's question, and after hesitating, he still told Miss Liu, "Generally, these corpses are dragged to a mass grave by Dapeng, who specializes in collecting corpses, and buried." ”
When Miss Liu heard this, she was going to a mass grave.
Chunlin was really surprised by Miss Liu's behavior, but she couldn't stop it, so she could only follow.
The mass grave is in a stone forest outside the city.
When Miss Liu's body had only recovered a little strength, she walked so far to the mass grave, her body was a little unbearable, and she was sweating profusely on her forehead.
The dense forest of the mass grave is gloomy, and people feel unusually cold when they walk here. Crows flew everywhere, flapping their wings and striking the branches.
Dapeng, who was ordered to bury the corpse, was used to it, and he didn't feel terrible, but if he was a living person, how could he not be afraid, a weak woman like Miss Liu should be scared out of half her life.
Not to mention how it could be possible, Miss Liu's heart was already trembling a little when she approached the mass grave, but she still walked inside.
Chunlin hesitated, whether to follow or not.
Seeing that Miss Liu didn't stop, she gritted her teeth and had to shake her body and follow in.
Miss Liu found the man who buried the body and saw that the man was digging a pit.
She was overjoyed and strode over.
In this gloomy mass grave, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, Dapeng was frightened to turn around, saw Miss Liu's pale face, thought it was a ghost, and was so frightened that he squatted on the ground and hugged his head to spare his life, and said straightly, "The female charm is above, please spare me as a burying man, I am a good person." ”
He didn't hear an echo for half a while, and then he looked up and saw the woman looking at him stunned.
"I'm a human, not a ghost." Miss Liu said calmly.
Dapeng took a serious look before he came to his senses.
At this time, Chunlin also followed, standing behind Miss Liu and looking at Dapeng with strange eyes.
"How did you young ladies come to such a place?"
Dapeng was puzzled, and after saying this to the two of them, he picked up the hoe and continued to dig the pit.
Miss Liu said lightly, "Come and find the corpse." ”
Dapeng was surprised again, and looked back to see that the woman was looking at the rotten bamboo mat placed on the side, and the bamboo sweep was the corpse of today's execution.
What is there to look at the corpse and find it?
Could it be this woman's relative?
Dapeng thought about it and said busily, "He's your relative?" ”
Miss Liu shook her head.
Dapeng was even more puzzled.
"Can I see the man?" Miss Liu fought for his consent.
Chunlin grabbed Miss Liu's wrist and was puzzled, "Miss, what are you going to do?" ”
