Chapter 37: The Thought of Good and Evil

Others don't know, Qin Song is very familiar with this name. It's not just her, but all the characters in King Ning's mansion who have heads and faces, their names, backgrounds, backgrounds, life preferences, and they have all been carefully checked - who asked him to put up a younger brother who wants to be an actor?

Although dressed in an inconspicuous coarse cloth robe, she looked like a gentle woman in her forties, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Although she was also stained with bloodstains and looked a little embarrassed, she could still feel the extraordinary dignity and elegance exuded from her.

"Aren't you the side concubine of King Ning's Mansion? How could he die among the horse bandits? ”

Luo Hongchun raised his eyes to look at him.

"A ghost is a ghost, and you can see through my identity at a glance."

Luo Hongchun smiled faintly, stood up and saluted Qin Song.

Qin Song took out the life and death book suspiciously, unfolded the scroll, and found the name of "Luo Hongchun", only to see the few words recorded on her life, but the number of words was terrifying, and she couldn't help frowning.

The order book of the Heavenly Boss is in charge of how people will live, but even if it is written in black and white, there is still the possibility of change; And the life and death book of Yin Si contains all human lives, and they are all things that have really happened, so the ghosts of the underworld never need to work hard to solve the case, they only need to arrest people and convict them.

"'Poisoning and killing a total of five hundred and ninety-two people in Mingsha Mountain Heavenly Sword Town' - you did it alone?" It was clearly written in the book of life and death, although he knew that there would be no mistake, but Qin Song couldn't help but ask again.

Luo Hongchun smiled and nodded.

Although out of professional instinct, he should have arrested her directly and questioned her by now, but curiosity still prevailed in the end: "How?" ”

The most annoying thing about the book of life and death is that it will only write about the simple process and results, and ignore most of the details - there are people who die every day, so the number of words in each person's life is strictly controlled.

Luo Hongchun hooked the corners of her lips and took out a delicate powder box from her sleeve. The little thing was held in the palm of her hand, and the round white porcelain was painted with gold.

Qin Song just wanted to reach out to take it, but when he saw her holding it in his palm again, he smiled and said, "I can tell you all the details, but you must promise me one condition." ”

"You're talking to the ghost about terms?"

"Anyway, I probably can't be reincarnated with my crimes, right? Since I'm going to hell no matter what, whether I say it or not doesn't matter what it doesn't matter to me. ”

A hint of banter appeared in Luo Hongchun's eyes, and he actually put the powder box back in his hand:

"Whoever helps me, I will help."

The woman understood.

If it were another ghost, I guess I wouldn't even ask more and I would throw her directly to the eighteenth layer of hell, right? When I meet Qin Song, I like to get to the bottom of it! If she was allowed to take this secret underground, he would not be able to sleep well for days! Even if you chase it to hell, you can't finish it without asking for an answer.

Qin Song pretended to squint his eyes coldly and stared at her for a while.

It is clearly written on the book of life and death: she ran through the rivers and lakes when she was young, and she knew a little bit about exorcism and demon suppression, and she was half a warlock; Although she and Zhao Zheng are considered to be married to each other, she has gradually fallen out of favor since Zhao Zheng was ordered to marry Yu Miaojin and entered the door, and her most beloved little daughter was unfortunately lost.

In the end, she waited quietly for his reply without hurry.

"On what terms?"

Qin Song finally compromised. Now the thing in her hand has become the center of his world: just a little? Poisoned more than 500 people? Quite interesting.

"Zhao Yunxiu, whose name is Xiu'er, is my daughter."

Hearing this name, Qin Song couldn't help but be secretly shocked again: if he asked others, he might need to open the book of life and death to check it, but the name 'Xiu'er' was too familiar, and the ghosts in Mobei didn't know her.

It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who turned into a powerful ghost, and her temperament was so fierce that she would be frightened when she saw a ghost. Her life was tragic, she was abducted by horse bandits at the age of twelve or thirteen, abused and humiliated to death, and was dumped in the Mobei Wasteland. The place was called Mingsha Mountain, and the woman's whimpering cries could be heard every night after that, miserable and desolate.

She refused to reincarnate, but she did not harm the innocent travelers who passed by.

At first, whenever a horse bandit died here, the ghost was a moment and a half late, and the soul would be eaten by Xiu'er, chewed into pieces one by one, the picture was cruel and bloody - there was once a ghost who had seen it and almost vomited out the food he had eaten in his previous life.

That's why all the ghosts in that area know about her.

Although the ghost will be scolded if she can't collect it, because she doesn't hurt the innocent, and most of the food is the soul of a horse bandit who can't be reincarnated, so the ghosts just persuade with kind words and can't bear to be harsh.

Someone once persuaded her to go to the underworld to fight a lawsuit to ask for her life, but she refused, saying that she did not believe in the officials; persuaded her to reincarnate, she said that she hated it in her heart and was unwilling.

Over time, she was turned into a scourge.

The anger became heavier and heavier, and gradually the lonely souls and wild ghosts in that area were eaten clean, and everything was not born in the wind and sand. Until one day, I don't know whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest or a master from where, the practice invited a powerful ghost, I heard that a knife will be scattered, and since then Mingsha Mountain has completely stopped.

Last year, when the Hades held a banquet for the New Year, Qin Song also saw the ghost during the banquet, he was young and his ability was indeed quite big, but the territory under his jurisdiction was in the Central Plains, which was quite famous, and his official reputation was also excellent.

But the ghosts in the area of Mingsha Mountain in the Northern Wilderness all put on a stinky face when they saw him: in order to make two messy money, even the basic conscience and moral bottom line of being a ghost are gone, and the industry is ashamed, sad, phew.

But that's the way it is, in fact, everyone has long known that Xiu'er can only end up with such a result, that is, no one can bear to be the last person to do it.

Everyone has lived, and they have all rolled through the red dust, but they can't even lose a little bit of humanity because they have been dead for too long, or because they have been ghosts for too long, right?

Qin Song quietly unfolded the book of life and death, Xiu'er's real name was framed by eye-catching cinnabar, only part of the records before her death remained, and the dazzling "pinned" chapter was bright red, announcing that this person had disappeared, and the above number was the last mark she left in the world.

He only paused slightly, and then read quietly: "Zhao Yunxiu, the lord of Xin'an County, died at the age of fifteen, Zhong Lin Yuxiu, virtuous and virtuous; Reincarnated in Jiankang City, a wealthy businessman surnamed Wang, the daughter of a family member, was safe and happy, rich and glorious for this life. ”

When Luo Hongchun heard this, tears surged in an instant, and he hid his face and wept.

Qin Song slowly closed the book of life and death, and quietly watched the woman in front of him cry into tears. He is a ghost, and he knows that Luo Hongchun must be convinced of his words - since there is such a word as 'ghost talk' in the world, it must make sense. Anyway, when he was telling this kind of lie, his heart had no waves.

He felt that this kind of deceptive trick was probably not a matter of accumulating virtue; But in this case, if you still tell the truth, you will be a little less virtuous. A mother who is willing to give everything just to get some justice for her daughter, the world is sinister, so let's leave her some thoughts.

Qin Song silently watched her cry for a long time without saying a word.

Luo Hongchun was crying, but he was still smiling on his face. She cried for a while before she stopped slightly, took out the small powder box from her bosom and handed it to him, tried to calm down, and said to him in a hoarse voice:

"This thing came from the palace. I don't know how it's made, only that it's extremely toxic. That day I heard about my daughter from a horse bandit captive, and I went to look for it. Later, he finally found the village where the horse bandits lived, and threw it into the lamp oil of each household, so that when the lamp was held, the whole village was poisoned. ”

"Lamp oil?"

Qin Song was confused, and had to admit that this was indeed an alternative way of poisoning.

He opened the lid with a puzzled expression, and the box was empty, with a faint fragrance remaining. I leaned in and smelled it gently, the aroma was very faint, but it was very special, I remember where I smelled it, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Luo Hongchun nodded: "I know a little bit about poisons, and I have seen a lot of strange poisons in the world." This substance is made from corpse oil to make paste, which is insoluble in water, but soluble in oil, and the toxicity will be emitted when burned. I don't know what it's called, but I know it's very toxic. So I mixed it with lamp oil and sent it to the bandits' village. The horse bandits usually use pine oil to light the lamp, which not only smells bad, but also has a lot of smoke, and the lamp oil I brought will have a faint fragrance after being lit, so almost every household uses it. ”

"You're really talented."

Qin Song re-closed the lid and carefully put it into his arms.

"It's no secret, my father has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has some research on poisons. But this method of making things is strange and has never been seen before, probably from the hands of a master. ”

"How can there be such a thing in the palace?"

Luo Hongchun shook his head: "One of the concubines that the prince has favored recently is missing, and the subordinates found this thing when they were cleaning up the room, and they were going to take it out and burn it, but I smelled the smell of poison, so I left this thing." …… I've told you everything I know, and I don't dare hide it. ”

Snow River!

Qin Song suddenly jumped out of this name in his mind, and listening to Luo Hongchun's description, he could basically be sure that it was her. - But why did she suddenly disappear? Natam Cypress ......

Before he could think about it, he saw the team in front of him slowly move forward a few steps. At the end of the line, there was still no end in sight, and most of the people at the head of the team were led to a door on the right side of the hall by a ghost, and occasionally a few people entered the door on the left after a few brief questions from the judge.

"Good and evil are just a matter of thought."

Qin Song's eyes were always looking at the door on the left. The door was now open, and an old woman slowly moved her steps in that direction.

He looked thoughtfully at Luo Hongchun, and then at the door.

Luo Hongchun immediately understood, quickly got up and took a few steps forward, and held the old man's arm in the upper room. The judge next to him noticed it, glanced at her, and then looked at Qin Song, who smiled.

After a moment's hesitation, the judge didn't say anything after all, and called the next one.

When the door was about to close, Luo Hongchun turned around, bowed to Qin Song, and then disappeared.
