Chapter 416: Thirty Lives
"Yaoji didn't sleep here." Shen Nianyi took Sun Shining's hand, "She is a distinguished guest, so she should sleep in a better place." ”
"How many sisters-in-law are there?" Sun Shining thought about it, Yaoji should no longer be in Pingru'an, they were looking for it, but it was just a fluke.
"There are more than 30 of them, and Pingruan has some friendship with the emperor's relatives, and the incense has always been very good." Moreover, there is also a use for Pingru Nunnery, those concubines who have committed a crime in a big family, and they will not end up with a capital crime, and those who are in the way in front of them will be sent to the nunnery, and out of sight is pure.
Most of the women who cried and cried and lived in will never go back, they are all pampered and habitual, where can they endure so much suffering here, it doesn't take too long to get some lingering diseases, and dying early has become an unwritten rule among those people.
Therefore, when Yaoji was sent, the third prince was afraid that he didn't want her to come back, in the past, the emperor didn't reuse him, he knew that his health was not good, so he just found a beautiful one to keep by his side, and no one would gossip.
Now, the three princes are also able to do serious things, the emperor opened his mouth, saying that he wanted to point out the marriage for him, for the three princes, it is in the middle, if it refers to a family with a background and identity, and the power of the mother's family will support him from behind, then he will be on the rise, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop his momentum.
The second prince and the sixth prince want to compete with him, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
Lin Guifei has always been afraid that the emperor has recruited a new concubine into the palace, if a little prince is born, the balance of the harem will be broken, it turns out that the sky is not as good as people, everyone claims to be smart, but they can't escape the emperor's hands and eyes, in the end, it is all a drama arranged by the emperor, and there is no way out of the biased road.
Therefore, the third prince hurriedly sent the errant Yao Ji to Pingru'an, Yao Ji was cut off another hand, and there was no chance to go back in the future, Ji Min saw it too clearly on the side, so it was not worth it.
Ji Min has never given her a good look since she beat Yao Ji and entered the mansion of the third prince, so she was prepared for it, and said countless times, her origin is unknown, don't take it lightly, I didn't expect that there was a bad fate in my heart.
Ji Min didn't dare to admit it at all, Yaoji was aggressive again, and couldn't help sneering, that time, it was almost Ji Min who fled in the desert and couldn't form an army.
Shen Nian thought about it while already in front of the house where he saw Yao Ji last time, this time he couldn't push the door open directly, and the inside was locked, and he no longer adhered to the etiquette, and the etiquette also depended on where it was, to whom, and wherever the palm power went, he heard a soft sound, and it was obvious that the door bolt was broken and fell.
He pulled Sun Shining behind him, and split the door with one palm, Yaoji's room was brighter, and the futon was also turned up, obviously she had slept on the bed, I don't know why, or someone took her away.
Shen Nian strode to the bed, reached into the futon with one hand and touched it: "There is still a little residual warmth, and I haven't been away for too long." ”
"Just before us?" Sun Shining only had one thought, why did he seem to be one step behind every time, but this was the most hateful, and gritting his teeth was not enough to vent his anger.
"In Pingru Nunnery, Yao Ji is not the only one, there are no traces of a fight here, and there are no corpses, someone must have taken them all away." Shen Nianyi felt that there should be thousands of clues, but it was even more difficult to catch a reliable one at this time.
"When you leave the nunnery, you must have a place to stay, thirty people, even if you go around the city, you will attract attention, not to mention the bald sister-in-law." Sun Shining stomped his feet.
"No, I won't go to the city, there's no need for that." Shen Nianyi shook his head and said.
"None of them resisted?" Sun Shining could hardly believe it.
"If the abbot is kidnapped, those sisters-in-law won't dare at all." Shen Nian quickly eliminated all kinds of places that might place these nuns, just like Shi Ning said, thirty nuns must be very noticeable, and why should the entire Pingru'an sister-in-law be taken away.
If you want to seal Yao Ji's mouth, you just need to take Yao Ji away.
He suddenly thought of a place, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Sun Shining beside him, her eyes met him, and she probably thought of it, and the two of them almost said in unison: "Nanxipo." ”
Nanxipo is not far from here, but because they are all outside the city, even if they move around, it doesn't matter if there are people outside the city at this point, it doesn't matter at all, and the place of Nanxipo is spacious and suitable for Tibetans, and the concubines have appeared there again, obviously, this is the place where they exchange news.
Without further ado, Shen Nianyi grabbed her wrist and gently threw her on his back, Sun Shining was very cooperative, his upper body leaned forward slightly, reducing his resistance, and the two of them marched towards Nanxipo again.
Shen Nian thought about leaving her in Pingru'an, this side was already like it had been cleaned up on a large scale, and it should be the least dangerous place, and then thought about it, since she had already been involved in the case, where was there any reason to let go halfway, and if she stayed, even if there was only a little danger, it was enough for him to be distracted.
Instead of speculating about whether she is in danger later, it is better to bring it with you.
"Nanxi Slope is not as flat as a hermitage, it may be dangerous, you must follow my instructions." Shen Nianyi advised first.
"I'm going to have to run for my life, nothing else." Sun Shining smiled self-deprecatingly, even if she didn't have martial arts, Shen Nianyi protected her, it only took a little time, she had already learned to hide herself well, as long as the opponent was not too many, there should be no problem.
"Running for your life is the best trick." As soon as Shen Nianyi was said by her, she was a little more relaxed, maybe she touched Nanxi Slope, but she still fell short, why should she be so nervous first.
The terrain of Nanxi Slope is undulating, and the first to jump over the confluence of two streams, the large acacia tree in front is the best sign.
It was already the second half of the night, the moonlight was not very clear, and most of it was hidden in the clouds, Shen Nianyi just looked at each other vigilantly, and heard Sun Shining sigh softly.
"What's wrong?" He immediately stopped.
"Something seems to be wrong in the stream." Sun Shining was not sure, this place was full of flowers and water, which greatly affected her ability to distinguish smells, especially the acacia flowers bloomed exceptionally luxuriantly, and the fragrance of flowers had overshadowed everything else.
Shen Nianyi took two steps back and returned to the stream, the stream was murmuring, and an obvious water vapor came to his nose.
At this moment, the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, and the moonlight shone down, just in time to illuminate the scene in front of him clearly.
Shen Nianyi saw very clearly, the stream that should have been crystal clear was dyed with other colors, and it was not so transparent.
"Go ahead." Sun Shining's voice trembled slightly in the wind.
Shen Nianyi silently followed the flow of the stream, walking towards the direction of the upstream, about ten steps, the color of hunger in the stream was heavier and deeper, at this time, there was no need to distinguish carefully, and it could be seen that the color of the stream had clearly turned into a faint pink, and after walking more than ten steps, it was already like blood that had been washed, and the bloody gas had already come to his face.
"So much blood." Sun Shining clung tighter, because he knew that the thirty or so sisters-in-law in Pingru Nunnery, as well as Yao Ji, had disappeared at the same time, and he felt even more shocked when he saw a large amount of blood at this time.
Shen Nianyi stopped suddenly, and she pushed down his shoulder in confusion: "It's upstream." ”
"I know." His voice was extremely calm, "Shining, can you wait for me here?" ”
"I'm not afraid of danger." Sun Shining blurted out.
"No, it's not dangerous, I just don't want you to see that like that." Shen Nianyi's tone was particularly heavy, very heavy.
Sun Shining's heart was beating fast: "You mean, it's too late." ”
This is Shen Nianyi's experience, judging from the stream they came all the way, there should be more than ten steps at the source, the south stream slope is the intersection of two small streams, the stream is more turbulent than other places, the width of the water flow is about three steps away from ordinary people, under such a flow rate, such a clearly visible blood and water can be preserved, and the scene of the source is afraid that it is very tragic.
"I'm going to take a look, I don't believe it, I don't believe it's really too late for us to rush so hard!" Sun Shining almost screamed uncontrollably, she didn't know those sisters-in-law in Pingru Nunnery at all, but she knew that it was thirty lives.
Thirty innocent lives, because they didn't catch up with one step, were cut off here.
Shen Nianyi didn't persuade her anymore, he held her hand tightly, and strode forward, his legs were long and his steps were wide, and she almost had to trot to catch up, but she didn't want to tell him to slow down, because she couldn't wait to see the truth clearly.
It was really a matter of walking for more than ten steps, and the moment Shen Nian stopped, he clenched her hand even more heavily, the strength was too great, Sun Shining felt that her finger bones were painful, and she bit her lip.
The moonlight was pale and blue.
By the stream, there were dozens of people, some facing the sky, some with their backs up, all wearing plain clothes without exception, without hair, who were the nuns who had disappeared from Pingruan.
Sun Shining said urgently: "There may still be a living mouth, let's look for it, there will be a living mouth." ”
When Shen Nian saw that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, she nodded, and began to rummage, all of them were exactly the same wounds, the extremely sharp blade was stabbed in the chest, or the neck was slashed, all of which were the places where the blood in the body was most concentrated, no wonder most of the streams were dyed red.
These nuns are all powerless women, it is impossible to have a grudge with others on weekdays, let alone offend any fierce gods and evil together, their only capital crime, I am afraid that they took in Yao Ji from the mansion of the third prince.
What the abbot said was not wrong, this woman was possessed by a demon and was the most dangerous being.
