eighteen

General Ling quickly cut off the tendons of the man in black with a short blade, and the man in black let out a miserable scream.

General Ling Xiao came to the stage with people, and the crowd began to boil again.

Baozhu and Qi Junce glanced at each other, and everything went smoothly. General Ling Xiao ripped off the man's mask, but Baozhu didn't see the expected face.

But Li Mu was even more stunned than Baozhu, pointing at the man and stammering. "This, isn't this Huang Dagongzi?"

Some of the people in the crowd with long necks also saw the man's appearance, and suddenly shouted like boiling water, it was actually Huang Dagongzi.

"Is it the sick son of the Huang family?" Qi Junce asked.

Li Mu hadn't recovered from the shock yet, so he could only nod his head.

At this time, a person rushed up from the crowd, and General Ling Xiao hurriedly protected Qi Junce.

The person who came was Huang Xun, but there was no shock on his face, just his eyes looked at Huang Dagongzi sadly, full of remorse.

Baozhu's eyes turned back and forth on the two of them, and it seemed that this Huang Xun was not completely innocent.

Baozhu got up and came to Qi Junce's side and whispered: "Your Majesty, there are many people here, let's go back to the palace first and then try it." ”

Qi Junce nodded and instructed Li Mu. General Ling Xiao motioned to his subordinates to take Huang Xun down and carry him to the mansion together.

Huang Xun and Huang Dagongzi knelt down together, and Qi Junce's eyes stared at the two of them.

"Huang Xun, this official is very surprised, you will be involved. Okay, you two talk about what's going on. Qi Junce said coldly.

Huang Xun bit his lower lip, lowered his head, and said nothing.

But Huang Dagongzi stared at Qi Junce viciously, and his eyes were almost quenched with blood. "It turns out that it's all just a show."

"Huang Gongzi," Baozhu said, "your original name is Huang Xu, and you were born to Master Huang's first wife. ”

Baozhu handed the information about Huang Xu that he had just collected in his hand to Qi Junce, and continued: "And you have been frail and sickly since you were a child, and you live in a simple place. These, right? ”

Huang Xu looked at the jewel with disdain and snorted coldly. "You woman, who doesn't know this in Shenmu?"

"Okay," Orb didn't offend him, "then we'll say something that no one else knows." ”

"Saying to the outside world that you are weak and sick is actually false, not only are you not sick, but you are very good. But you hate Master Huang, do you think it's Master Huang who killed your own mother regardless of it, yes or no? Baozhu said.

Huang Xu's face was a little ugly, and he squeezed out one from between his teeth.

"And you have been grudging with Master Huang for many years, and you have begun to indulge in the Jianghu magic that he hates the most, Master Huang is extremely disappointed in you, and declared to the public that you were sick before giving Huang Xun to the housekeeper, yes or no?" Baozhu asked one after another.

Huang Xu laughed out loud angrily, still saying with a nonchalant face: "So what? ”

"And although Huang Xun and you are not born to the same mother, he is extremely attached to your brother. He knows that you have made a big mistake, but he helps you cover up the crime. Huang Xu, Huang Xun, yes and no? Baozhu asked sharply.

Huang Xu was silent, his face full of stubbornness that was not afraid of death.

Huang Xun sighed deeply and replied, "It's me, it's me who saw my brother sinking into the mud, but I didn't persuade him, so that the situation became as out of control as it is now." ”

"So you're admitting?" Qi Junce said indifferently, "The seven women who admitted to the death of Shenmu are all the handiwork of your brothers? ”

Huang Xun and Huang Xu were silent, but not denying it was the best admit.

Jiang Xun couldn't control his emotions anymore and slapped Huang Xun. screamed and shouted: "My little man, what did you do to her, what's wrong!" ”

Seeing this, Ma Dong hurriedly pulled Jiang Yu, who was out of control, and stood on the side to comfort him.

Baozhu looked at Jiang Yu, who was really anxious, but felt that she was not so annoying because she was arrogant on weekdays.

"Come on, go to the Yellow Mansion to search, don't let go of a single hair." Li Mu commanded.

"Especially a small courtyard in the west corner of the courtyard, focusing on searching." Baozhu remembered the words of the moon slave and said.

Qi Junce looked at the dignified two, and he was a rare gentleman in Shenmu. It's a pity to commit such a wrong thing, which makes people smack.

"But this official has something unclear, Huang Xu is a noble son, how did you get involved with Feng Niang. And you killed seven people in a row, what exactly do you want to do? Qi Junce asked.

But Huang Xu closed his lips tightly and didn't say a word.

Qi Junce was annoyed by this, and his face was full of displeasure. "Very good, if you don't say it, my subordinates will naturally make you beg to speak."

With a wave of Qi Jun's hand, General Ling Xiao dragged Huang Xu down. When Huang Xun heard this, he knew that Qi Junce was going to torture to extract a confession, so he hurriedly kowtowed and begged.

"Second Master Huang," Baozhu said, "Now that your brother's crime is undocumented, you should tell us the truth." Otherwise, there are hundreds of people in the Huang family, and it is not certain whether they can keep it. ”

Baozhu's words were like a blow to the head, which made Huang Xun suddenly wake up.

Kneeling forward, kowtow to Qi Junce. "Please don't torture my brother, he... He won't be able to stand it. ”

"Then the seven women who died tragically, can they stand it!" Qi Junce's angry rebuke resounded, echoing in the hall.

"You are confused, Huang Ergongzi." Li Mu hated iron and said with hatred, "How can you cover him up for doing such a wrong thing." ”

"I say, I'll say anything." Huang Xun regretted not being at the beginning and hit himself on the head.

Huang Xun's statement.

My brother was bright since he was a child, and my father naturally had great expectations for him. But as he grew older, he began to hear some rumors about the first lady.

The nurse who grew up with his brother told him that it was his father's disgust with his mother that caused his mother to die of depression.

After the father knew that it was the nurse who told the eldest brother, he was annoyed that she had sow discord between their father and son, and beat the nurse to death in a fit of rage.

In the past, my father was busy with affairs, and the eldest brother was almost brought up by a nurse, and the feelings were naturally deep. And his father's move undoubtedly made the eldest brother's inner suspicion grow wildly.

Since then, there has been a huge rift in the relationship between the eldest brother and his father.

And the eldest brother doesn't know when he started to indulge in all kinds of secret arts. It made my father even more angry, and impulsively announced that my eldest brother was seriously ill and gave me the power of housekeeper.

Although I was not born to the same mother as my eldest brother, my eldest brother has always been very good to me. I respect him and love him. Over the years, he has tried to repair his relationship with his father, but to no avail.

It wasn't until four years ago that the eldest brother met the woman by the Shenmu River.

It was the first time I had seen my eldest brother so happy, and he told me that he was in love with a woman who sang by the river. I went to check on the woman for him, but unfortunately she was married to a boatman.

That woman was Feng Niang, and she had just married Shenmu at that time. I told my eldest brother the truth, I thought he would give up, but my eldest brother said it didn't matter, he could wait.

Now that I think about it, the eldest brother at that time had already embarked on the road of paranoia. I regret why I didn't find out earlier.

Later, it was Feng Niang's husband who drowned. Soon after, Feng Niang also joined the river.

I didn't pay much attention to these things at first, until Shenmu began to disappear the young woman, and when I found out, a part of my body was missing.

The last embroidered shoe made me suspicious. I ran to ask my eldest brother if he did it, but my eldest brother directly admitted that it was him.

I was terrified, wondering why he was like this. But the eldest brother told me that it was almost over, and it was almost over.

So I... I foolishly deceived myself into thinking I didn't know and couldn't see.

Qi Junce looked at Huang Xun who was crying bitterly, and Baozhu was also sighing silently. At this time, the person in charge of searching the Huang Mansion hurriedly ran back.

whispered a few words in Li Mu's ear, and Li Mu's face changed greatly.

It turned out that it was in the small courtyard that Baozhu said that there was a major discovery. Qi Junce and his party hurried to the Huang Mansion, and Jiang Yu kept praying on the way.

In the Huang Mansion, the closer he got to the small courtyard, the strong medicinal fragrance rushed straight to his nose, and Baozhu couldn't help but sneeze.

The Sun Moon Nu did not dare to approach, but only smelled from a distance that the smell was coming from this courtyard. Now the orb smells the medicine, and there is a trace of blood that is not easy to detect.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the subordinates explained that this was Huang Xu's own courtyard. Because he is withdrawn, he doesn't like to make noise, and he never allows people to come near.

Qi Junce stopped the orb that was about to enter together, "I'm afraid it's going to be scary inside, so you can wait outside." ”

Jiang Yu wanted to say something, but Baozhu took her hand and stepped aside.

Qi Junce stepped into the main hall, but saw Li Mu's men pry open a floor tile. Qi Junce asked what this was doing.

The person who came was Xia Zhu, Li Mu's subordinate, "Reply, my lord, the lower officials searched both sides of the courtyard and found nothing. But when I stepped here, I found the sound of empty drums. ”

Qi Junce looked at the knocked floor tiles, and sure enough, a dark downward passage appeared.

"Below, it should be the secret space created by Huang Xu." Xia Zhu said.

Qijun Ce Xia Zhu and his party lit the torches and walked down, the space below was huge, it seemed that Huang Xu had been preparing for a long time.

The further I went, candles and red curtains began to appear in front of me. Xia Zhu took a step forward and opened the curtain, but saw a very strange and terrifying scene.

In the open space in front of him, a strange formation was formed with black threads and red candles. The ground was littered with rune paper, and the air smelled of blood.

Someone in the entourage pointed to the middle and shouted, and Qi Junce looked over. In the center of the formation, there was a headless female corpse.

Or rather, more than one.

Qi Junce carefully did not touch the black line and walked into the formation. The woman's corpse had indecipherable inscriptions written on dried blood, arms, thighs, torso... Corresponding to the missing part of the seven women who died tragically.

It seems that this is the place, even though Qi Junce is a person who has been on the battlefield, he still frowns when he sees such a tragic scene.

Some of the entourage had already vomited, but Xia Zhu ordered everyone to start searching in this area.

Qi Junce looked around and found that there was an incense case in front of the female corpse. There is a statue of an unknown god enshrined on it, but it looks full of evil and hideous.

Qi Junce thought about it, and was about to take it down to take a look, but found that he couldn't take it. Twist to the right, and a secret door slowly opens.

Qi Junce looked ahead vigilantly, and a dungeon appeared in front of him. In the dungeon was Xiao Man, who had been missing for a day, and two other women.
