Chapter 542: Death from Exhaustion

Zhou Qing shook his head, "It's just that I heard that some sect members met when they were praying on Tianxue Mountain, it was a snowy night, and the White Lotus Great Immortal appeared in front of their eyes like this." ”

After that, the sect members invited this White Lotus Immortal back, and he served it devoutly every day.

Su Ying finished all the dim sum and clicked on the table with her fingertips, "Then have you heard what this White Lotus Immortal has done?" ”

Zhou said lightly: "It's just some things that sound a little mysterious, and there are no things that are too special." ”

Su Ying felt that it was right to have faith, but she was afraid that this kind of faith would be used by someone with a heart, "You go to Manager Zhang in a while, and ask her to get you two people who can do a little kung fu and are clever, let them break into the sect of this White Lotus Great Immortal, and tell them that if there is anything abnormal, they will report it immediately." ”

"The slave understands."

……

King Yu was assassinated, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and after the early dynasty, Xiao Ember called several ministers with his cronies to discuss the solution to this matter.

After some discussion, several ministers unanimously decided to explain the situation to the king of the south first, and see what the other party's reaction was, and the rest of the southerners should be sent abroad as soon as possible to avoid trouble.

However, for Xiao Yan, what matters is not the life or death of King Yu, but the person who assassinated King Yu behind his back, clearly trying to provoke disputes between the two countries.

When Xiao Yan wrote to the monarch of the southern kingdom, he focused on making it clear that someone wanted to sow discord, and as long as the monarch of the southern kingdom was not stupid, he would not make a big deal about this matter, otherwise no one would be able to step down at that time.

After the ministers stepped back, Zhang Shuming came to the desk with a stack of drawings.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang said the day before yesterday that she wanted to build a playground for the eldest prince and the princesses in the open space of the harem, and the craftsman got Niangniang's instructions to go back and discuss the drawings and draw them, and asked the emperor to take a look."

This drawing gave Xiao Ember an eye is the process of starting construction.

Xiao Shen had already heard from Su Ying last night, and he was also curious about what this playground would look like when it was built.

"Just do what the mother says."

"Yes."

The playground was opened three days later.

The vacant land has been abandoned for so long that it is overgrown with weeds, and the workers need to clean the weeds and lay them with green bricks.

On the morning of the start of work, Su Ying got up early.

"Mother, the workers over there have already started to work, do you want to go over and have a look?" Zhou Qing knew that Su Ying cared about this playground, so he always reported the situation over there to Su Ying.

Su Ying nodded, "Well, go over and have a look." ”

After breakfast, Su Ying went to the open field, where workers were in full swing repairing the walls and pouring green bricks.

It's not a big space, and it's only a few hundred bungalows, but it's enough for the children to relax and play.

There is also an abandoned palace on the edge of the vacant lot, and while building a playground, Zhang Shuming also asked people to make this palace good by the way, so that the masters can have a place to rest when they are tired of playing.

"Niangniang, you see if there is anything else to arrange, you tell the old slave, and the old slave will let people arrange it immediately."

Zhang Shuming is very thoughtful, he can think of anything she can't think of, so just leave the matter to him, "I can't think of it for the time being, if you think of it, you can tell the palace." ”

"Yes."

In fact, it is not difficult to make children's entertainment facilities at all, and it is what Su Ying needs, so the workers and craftsmen are very hard-working, and they are all done in less than half a month.

Su Ying likes this kind of efficiency.

As soon as the palace maid who passed the message retreated, Zhou Qing smiled and said: "It's already dark today, tomorrow Niangniang can take the eldest prince and them over to have a look." Although Niangniang didn't say it, she could feel that she was even more looking forward to the completion of this playground than the eldest prince!

Su Yingen sighed, and happily talked to the two treasures about how to play tomorrow.

The mother and son were talking hotly, and Zhang Shuming went to the door.

"Niangniang, there is a message from the Criminal Department."

The smile on Su Ying's face was slightly reduced, and she immediately got up and walked outside the door, there were some things she didn't want the child to hear too much.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Shuming said softly: "Zhou Xiangrong is dead." ”

Su Ying's eyebrows were raised, she had a guess just now, it had been more than half a month, and she should have died, "Why did you die?" ”

"Dead of exhaustion." He strangled himself with chains.

For more than half a month, she has been immersed in the pain that can tear her apart in an infinite loop, and while there is still a trace of clarity, Zhou Xiangrong chose to die.

"But the people at the Ministry of Punishment said that there was something strange about her body."

The people in the Criminal Department have never seen any strange people, and if they can feel strange, there must be something wrong.

After listening to Zhang Shuming's words, Su Ying decided to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to have a look in person.

Zhou Xiangrong's body had been transported out of the cell and placed in the mortuary.

From a distance, there was only one lone lamp in the entire mortuary room, which looked eerie and terrifying.

The official who was guarding the outside of the house didn't expect someone to come at night, so he hurriedly walked over with a lantern to take a look.

After the identity of the criminal department Shangshu was revealed, he took Su Ying to Zhou Xiangrong's corpse.

Under the dim light, Zhou Xiangrong's face was as pale as a ghost, and he was completely out of breath.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department lifted the white cloth on Zhou Xiangrong's body and found that all the clothes on her body had been taken off.

There are still two barb scratches on her shoulder, the blood is very disgusting, but other than that, there are no other scars on her body, Su Ying said that no one is allowed to open the door of the cell without her permission, and no one dares not to disobey Su Ying's orders.

"Niangniang, look, the strangeness that Weichen said is in her."

Shangshu of the Criminal Department pointed to the blood stains on Zhou Xiangrong's body, and he didn't know when Zhou Xiangrong got it, there were dried blood stains on her pale body, these blood stains didn't look like they were flowing naturally, but were thought to be painted, even Zhou Xiangrong's palm was painted with these blood marks.

"What is this?" Su Ying changed several directions and looked at them, feeling that these blood marks looked like some kind of special rune paper.

"What's the matter with her clothes, you took them off?"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department shook his head again and again and said: "Hui Niangniang, after you left that day, no one opened the door of that cell, that is, there was a person to deliver food every day, but that person would not go in, and when we found out that something was wrong, the person had already lost his breath, and when he died, his clothes and skirts were torn to the ground, and Weichen felt that she was a little strange like that, so he asked people to tell Niangniang." ”

Su Ying asked people to come in with a pen and paper, and drew all the talismans on Zhou Xiangrong's body, and she will find someone to see what it is tomorrow.
