An official sedan chair fell at the bridge, and the official opened the sedan curtain: "My lord, it's here." ”

Mingwei turned his head and smiled.

Who is the official who got off the sedan chair if he wasn't Jiang Wenfeng?

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Shu looked at her coldly.

Mingwei touched his cheek: "Can you see me smiling with my face covered?" ”

He snorted: "My eyes are narrowed, isn't it a laugh?" ”

"......" yin and yang weirdness.

"Your Excellency." Gao Huan and Di Fan went over to see each other.

Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "What's the situation?" ”

Gao Huan was in Cao, this was the scope of his duties, so he said the matter again: "...... The water monster we have caught. However, under the bridge, a lot of bones were found. Some of the bones were injured before they died, and not all of them were drowned. ”

Jiang Wenfeng went to see the water monster first.

The monster had a large turtle-like shell, four-legged, and a head like a monster fish with sharp teeth.

"Master Jiang."

Jiang Wenfeng heard the voice, saw Yang Shu and Mingwei coming in parallel, and bowed his head: "Childe, Miss Ming." ”

He didn't react to Mingwei's masking behavior. The popularity of the capital is one after another, one moment is popular to wear men's clothes, and the other is popular to comb high buns, who knows if it is becoming popular again.

Ming Weiqi said: "Why can you all recognize me?" Could it be that she's face blind and more than just unrecognizable faces?

Jiang Wenfeng said with a smile: "Who else will be there besides the girl who is walking with the son?" ”

The method of "......" is really simple and crude.

Mingwei asked: "Dali Temple still cares about these?" ”

Lei Hong happened to come back from under the bridge and said with a smile: "Miss Ming doesn't know, the adult has been transferred to Jing Zhaoyin." ”

Jing Zhao Yin, that is, the Yin of the Jingshi Mansion, is of a higher rank than other prefects, and his status is more important. With this level of resume, most of the followers will be promoted.

"I see, but it's not mine, and I didn't congratulate the adults."

Jiang Wenfeng waved his hand and asked her about business: "According to what Miss Ming saw, is this water monster harmful?" ”

Ming Wei said: "Without the water, no matter how big its ability is, it can't be used, just dispose of it." ”

Jiang Wenfeng expressed his understanding and asked Lei Hong to deal with the water monster.

Gao Huan said: "This time, I was able to successfully capture the water monster, thanks to the help of several righteous people. Then introduce him to the identities of Ning Xiu and Jun Moli.

Jiang Wenfeng went over to thank him.

Ning Xiu said: "I don't dare to thank you for the effort." ”

Jun Moli was a little sour in his heart, he saw that as soon as Jiang Wenfeng came, Yang Shu and Mingwei went to say hello, obviously they knew each other. I thought, no wonder these government officials and forbidden soldiers were lukewarm to him, the heir of the Xuandu Temple, but they were very respectful to them.

He held his identity, replied lightly, and said, "Since the water monster has been caught, I will leave below." ”

Jiang Wenfeng thanked him again and politely sent him away.

Jun Mo left, and Ning Xiu had no reason to stay, so he also left.

Yang Shu asked, "Lord Jiang, can we watch from the sidelines?" ”

Jiang Wenfeng smiled: "If you find a water monster in the Yudai River, if you don't let the son watch, how can you answer when the saint asks later?" ”

Yang Shu just asked in fun, the Jade Belt River surrounds the Imperial City, even if he doesn't encounter it, the Imperial City Division has to ask.

Di Fan came over to report: "My lord, you are ready, you can go down to the bridge cave." ”

Before going down to the bridge cave, Mingwei went over to talk to Ji Xiaowu: "Fifth cousin, I'm afraid it will take a while before I can leave, why don't you go back first?" ”

Ji Xiaowu shook his head: "No, I promised my mother to bring you back with all your beards and tails." If you stay here, I'll be killed when I go back alone. ”

Mingwei thought about it, so he said, "Then you are waiting here for a while?" I'll go down and take a look, and I'll be back as soon as it's okay. ”

Ji Xiaowu glanced at the brightly lit bridge hole, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "It's you who knows how to do mysticism, isn't it Duofu?" ”

Ming Wei said: "Duofu will too, if you want to learn, you can learn from her." ”

Ji Xiaowu scratched his head: "I didn't mean that......"

Mingwei patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go back and talk about it, I'm still waiting for me over there." ”

“…… Oh. ”

Ji Xiaowu watched her walk towards the crowd and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Duofu was not at ease, and pushed him: "Fifth son! Are you still cold? Why don't you borrow a piece of clothing? ”

"Huh?" Ji Xiaowu hurriedly shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not cold." ”

"Then why do you look like you can't give up?"

"It's just that all of ......a sudden," Ji Xiaowu thought for a moment, "I had doubts about this world." ”

……

Mingwei followed down the bridge cave.

There was a hidden hole in the water, and the lower part was flooded. Lei Hong held the torch and looked at the corner: "My lord, there are scattered bones here. ”

In the corner of the bridge, a few white bones rested quietly. The river was undulating, and the meat on it had long been washed clean, and it was entwined with a few aquatic weeds.

The official walked over, picked up the white bones, and sent them to Jiang Wenfeng: "My lord." ”

Jiang Wenfeng held the white bones with a fine cloth, observed the light of the torch carefully, and touched the aquatic plants on it.

"This is a human leg bone, and judging by this length, it is very likely to be a woman. Put it away first. ”

The official should be to take a cloth bag and put it in it.

Everyone waded through the water and walked in for a while, and the terrain slowly became higher and gradually exposed to the ground.

The hole was not large, but it was deep, and there was an indescribable smell in the air. There were bones scattered all the way, and the further you went, the more you went.

Finally, they stood in front of a pile of bones.

Everyone looked at each other and lost their words.

There are so many white bones, it is simply shocking.

He stepped forward to examine the bones.

"There are so many, at least a few hundred dead." Yang Shu said in a low voice.

Except for the Drain Garden, which is responsible for burning and burying, it is not easy to see so many dead bodies in the capital.

"This corpse has been beaten severely." "The bones are broken in many places, all of which were injured before death. ”

"These have been gnawed and cannot be discerned."

"These bodies have no ante-mortem injuries, and the cause of death is uncertain."

"These ......"

After a general examination, he made a report: "My lord, most of these bones are women, and there are some young children, and only a very small number of them are men. ”

Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "In this way, it is not a drowned." ”

There are many rivers in the capital, and many people drown every year. Women rarely go out, and if they do, the sex ratio is incorrect.

"Let's move these bones back to the government first." After Jiang Wenfeng finished speaking, he looked into the depths, "Continue to investigate inside and see where this hole leads." ”

Lei Hong promised: "Yes!" ”

Ming sighed silently and looked up at the top of the cave.

"What are you thinking?" Yang Shu asked her.

"I'm thinking about how terrible the shadows of this capital are." She said softly, "Above our heads, is Ping'an Street, the most lively and prosperous area in Beijing. But who would have thought that the underground just a foot away would be such a scene? ”

Yes, on the bustling side, shadows follow. I wonder why these people died here, and if they tried to return to the light just a few feet away?
