Chapter 7: Stabbing to death on a stake
That Taoist priest was pretending to be a ghost, Tang Yun was sure.
With a flick of his apprentice's fingers, the talisman paper in his hand could be set on fire. But Tang Yun had already seen the apprentice smearing some medicine on the rune paper, because the heat generated by the vibration of his fingers made the rune paper burn.
But these tricks obviously frightened everyone present.
Most of the people around the Taoist priests were eunuchs.
Many of these eunuchs did not learn much culture, and many of them were sent to the palace from an early age, and most of what they learned was the means of serving people.
They can easily be seduced by these charlatans.
Tang Yun walked straight to the Taoist priest, grabbed the Taoist priest's arm with one hand, and looked at him coldly.
Tang Yun, who suddenly appeared, completely disrupted this ritual. When those eunuchs heard Xiao Qianqin's voice, they all knelt on the ground, not daring to say more.
Tang Yun originally wanted to debunk this Taoist priest's trick, but suddenly thought that if he dared to deceive these eunuchs in the palace, I was afraid that this Taoist priest and his apprentice would die without a place to be buried.
At that moment, Tang Yun said coldly: "The palace has its own imperial power and deterrence, and you use it to do it?" Hurry away, I don't want to see you again! ”
Tang Yun's hand at that time had already grabbed the bag in the Taoist priest's sleeve. There is the mystery, you only need to apply the medicinal powder to the rune paper, and it will burn out of thin air when it encounters sunlight.
These are all tricks of the rivers and lakes, and when he saw that they were debunked by Tang Yun, the Taoist priest was already shocked into a cold sweat. Hearing what Tang Yun said, how could he not understand that Tang Yun was helping him, so he quickly asked the apprentice to pack up his things, bowed his head and said, "What the adults said is that the poor road has transgressed, so leave now, leave now!" ”
A eunuch left with a group of Taoist priests, and Xiao Qianqin snorted coldly. Like a thunderbolt, all the eunuchs' bodies trembled involuntarily.
"Whoever recruited him, stand up for himself." Xiao Qianqin said coldly.
A eunuch suddenly crawled over, his face full of fear, and whispered: "To be forgiven, the slave also heard the rumors in the palace, and for a while the lard was blinded, so he made this decision." ”
Xiao Qianqin raised her eyebrows, and she was about to get angry.
Tang Yun hurriedly stopped, walked up to the eunuch and asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”
The eunuch whispered, "It is said that it is all because of ...... There are some ghosts and monsters in this palace, which is why these things happen. We could hear it every day, in the middle of the night, like a woman's cry. When we went to look for it, we couldn't see it, and occasionally we could see a white shadow passing by. I've heard that the souls of the dead of the previous dynasty are lingering here and there......"
Xiao Qianqin's willow eyebrows were upside down: "It's nonsense, Your Majesty is within the reach of the emperor, where is the ghost?" ”
The eunuch was so frightened that he slammed his head on the ground and kowtowed, and blood had already come out of his head.
Xiao Qianqin said impatiently: "Okay, you guys hurry up, you didn't mess up the scene inside, right?" ”
The eunuch hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and left in embarrassment, leaving only a few small yellow doors to help.
The three of them entered the house, and Xiao Qianqin said as she walked beside her, and Tang Yun understood what was going on.
It turned out that Ruoshui's disappearance had attracted the attention of the imperial court.
After all, when Tang Yun was attacked at that time, it was a group of disguisers wearing Ruoshui's Bi Fang brocade clothes.
It was not found at the time, but the next day, a team of Yulin soldiers and eunuchs stationed here disappeared.
In the palace, there are a certain number of people who are usually in charge of patrolling. So many people suddenly disappeared, so the palace sent people to look for them, and finally found the bodies of this group of people in this Zhenxu Palace.
They're all dead.
And the death was extremely miserable.
Tang Yun and Wan Jinhai came here for the first time, and when they saw the scene here, they couldn't help but gasp.
At the back of the True Glory Hall, there is a backyard, where there was originally a huge vegetable garden, but nothing grew in the field. The weather has been very cold lately, and the young shoots exposed to the outside like this can't withstand the cold of the god capital at all.
There are many wooden stakes in the vegetable patch, and a person is stuck in each stake.
The stake is an artificially sharpened spike that is slammed into the ground, pierced through the stomach, and finally stabbed in the throat and emerges from the mouth.
The bloodstains have dried up.
It can be seen that they were frightened before they died, and the faces of several of them had become distorted, which was caused by intense fear.
Tang Yun looked at them one by one, and they were forcibly stabbed into the stake by a brute force. The stakes are so high that everyone's feet are almost in the air.
When Tang Yun checked to the end, he saw two women.
These two women are Ruoshui, and they are in the same situation as everyone else, the only difference is that their eyes are closed and their eyes are pale. It seems that he died before he was so severely punished.
"That's it, in the place where they died, we found the bodies of two women, as well as the captain who was interrogated."
Xiao Qianqin explained beside her, but Tang Yun had been silently checking.
Wan Jinhai is a veteran of solving the case, carefully examined each corpse and said: "If you want to do this kind of thing, you must be a tall person, and his height must be at least taller than a stake." But it's strange that there are no footprints on the ground, which is a bit strange. ”
Xiao Qianqin asked: "You tell me, is the murderer one person or many people doing it at the same time?" ”
Wan Jinhai shook his head: "This still needs to be further investigated, but ah, that person may be very shrewd, he erased all traces, which also caused great difficulties to the investigation of the case." ”
"Unless ......"
Wan Jinhai suddenly changed his words: "There is still a possibility, if it is a normal investigation, I am more inclined to the latter." ”
Xiao Qianqin frowned and said, "What? ”
"It's a ghost's doing, or rather...... It's a demon! Wan Jinhai glanced at Tang Yun.
If it was in the past, maybe Xiao Qianqin would reprimand Wan Jinhai This is nonsense, but now, after so many things, Xiao Qianqin can't directly veto it for a while.
Xiao Qianqin asked, "Are you sure?"
Wan Jinhai clenched his fists and replied: "Because the minister just came over, he just took a cursory look." If you want to do these things, even if it is a sneak attack, the minister believes that these people should run out of two. But you look at these forbidden troops, and there is an incredible fear on their faces. Even if they were attacked to death, the expressions of these people were too exaggerated. ”
After speaking, Wan Jinhai turned his head and asked, "What do you think of Lord Tang?" ”
Tang Yun remained silent all the time, he looked at everyone's wounds, it really didn't look like a human did it.
Because manpower is limited, even if it is him, he needs to rest for a while after killing these people. Not to mention wearing them all on stakes, which is a laborious exercise.
He stared at the two watery wounds, and suddenly had a conjecture.
They may not have died with these Yulin soldiers and eunuchs.
