Liang Yuan didn't know much about the Luotou clan either.

All the news was told to him by King Chengnan.

King Chengnan came to the fief at the beginning of that year, and in order to show his political achievements in front of Emperor Jianming, he opened up barren mountains for fertile land. Unexpectedly, there is a miasma in the mountain and there is a family of Luotou clan.

The origin of the Luotou clan is no longer known.

They are not ghosts, nor are they monsters, and they usually look no different from ordinary people. But at night, the neck begins to stretch, the head is separated from the body, and it preys on insects and small birds and beasts at night. This Luotou clan has taken root in the deep mountains of Yunzhou and has no contact with the outside world, just like the villagers in the Peach Blossom Garden. In general, it is harmless to people.

The Luotou clan refused to move, and King Chengnan was impatient at that time and didn't think so much. In order to forcibly expropriate this mountain for cultivated land, he directly ordered people to exterminate the Luotou clan. Before he died, the Luotou clan sent the curse to King Chengnan.

At this point, King Chengnan, who was originally healthy and strong, was tormented by a head disease at night, and he was immediately weak and depressed. It wasn't until the appearance of Danyang Daoist that he gave him a glimmer of light.

"Danyang Dao treats the prince's head disease, presumably he has already explained, I don't need to repeat it."

"It's not going to work." Fu Jiao shook her head.

Fu Rudi said in a timely manner: "Compare the two confessions to know if any of you are lying." After speaking, he asked Sibei to take Liang Yuan to another cell and interrogate the Qiongzhou case alone.

Danyang Dao people have not been in the right mood since they saw Fu Jiao asking rice.

He sat in the corner of his cell, not speaking or looking up.

After a while, Si Bei came over with Liang Yuan's signed confession. Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao went to look together and found that what the people of Danyang Dao said were not bad.

They chose the location in Qiongzhou, first, Qiongzhou is far away from the capital; second, Qiongzhou has the most corrupt officials and corrupt officials; The third is that Qiongzhou has always believed in ghosts and gods, and it is easy for the people to accept. Danyang Dao people colluded with Shi Xi to suppress the real goddess, and the lives of the children in the entire Qiongzhou were not taken casually.

Zhao Hao grabbed his hair and asked, "Can those skulls really cure Uncle Wang's illness?" ”

"It can't be cured, but it can be alleviated."

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Find a child born under the age of ten in the Yin period, extract the ashes at the fontanelle that has just been closed, place it in the alchemy furnace with thirty medicinal herbs, and refine it into an elixir that suppresses the curse of the Luotou clan. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then revealed: "Some time ago, the incident in Qiongzhou happened, and the people of Danyang Dao disappeared again. The prince has not been relieved by the elixir, and in desperation, he found a partial room in the witch book and asked me to go to the surrounding towns to find the stillborn baby that had just been delivered. ”

"What are you going to do with a stillbirth?" Fu Rudi frowned and motioned for Si Bei to record these words as they were.

“…… Wrap it into dumplings and eat it to relieve headaches. ”

Liang Yuan sighed.

Some women were reluctant to hand over their newly dead children and had a dispute with Liang Yuan, who was anxious to complete Zhao Hui's task, so he killed the killer.

He was an outlaw, and he did a lot of murder and goods.

Now that he has been arrested and imprisoned, he thinks of all the crimes he has done for King Chengnan before, and he has a trace of remorse and unbearable.

Zhao Hao's teeth trembled up and down: "Make dumplings?!" That's human flesh......"

"King Chengnan just wants to cure his own disease, and to others, he is like a grass mustard ant. Don't say that you can eat a few stillbirths, mutilate dozens of children, and do even more cruel things. ”

Liang Yuan's mouth hooked up a cold smile.

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Hao couldn't help but think of drinking and eating at the same table with Zhao Hui at night. The mouth where Zhao Hui ate also ate the stillbirth of a baby...... Suddenly, his stomach was tumbling and he lay on the edge of the cell, vomiting profusely.

Si Bei patted him on the back and handed him a handkerchief, "Shizi? You okay? ”

"It's okay, it's okay......"

Zhao Hao wiped the corners of his mouth, and there were words of suffering.

At this time, he touched the thing in his arms, and suddenly felt like a hot potato, and hurriedly grabbed it out and stuffed it into Fu Jiao's hand: "Take it!" You want hair! ”

Fu Jiao opened the paper bag and saw that there were a few black hairs.

"You've got it."

She was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course." Zhao Hao raised his head and chested.

Fu Jiao happily walked to Fu Rudi's side, raised her head and said, "Brother, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." "Now that they have arrested Danyang Daoren and Liang Yuan, Zhao Hui colluded with corrupt officials in Qiongzhou to kill children, and all kinds of crimes cannot escape the law. It's just that Yunzhou is Zhao Hui's territory, and the stakes are very high, and Fu Rudi must bring people and physical evidence to face the saint.

In other words, whether Zhao Hui will be punished or not depends on Emperor Jianming. If the sibling affection is deep, it is not painful or itchy, and it is punished; If the Grand Duke is selfless and does official business, Zhao Hui will not escape death.

Fu Rudi pondered for a while, "King Chengnan must closely monitor my movements. If I take Liang Yuan Demon Dao to Beijing, I will definitely be discovered by him......"

"Brother, why don't you let me go."

Fu Jiao took the initiative to propose.

"Nope."

Fu Rudi immediately refused. This trip is dangerous, who knows if Zhao Hui's ears and eyes will find out, and then kill people.

Si Bei said at this time: "My lord, it's better for me to go with Si Nan, right?" He and I escorted Liang Yuan and Danyang Daoren separately, so that King Chengnan intended to intercept and kill, and he didn't expect our soldiers to be divided into two ways. ”

Fu Rudi's mind turned, "In this case, why don't you divide the soldiers into three ways." ”

Fiction and reality make him scratch his head.

"Three-way?"

Si Bei looked left and right, and his eyes fell on Zhao Hao's face, who had just finished vomiting.

Fu Rudi stepped forward and saluted Zhao Hao, "The prince is the nephew of King Chengnan, and it is reasonable that he is ready to return to Beijing after this trip." ”

Zhao Hao had been following Fu Jiao for so long, and when he saw this posture, he already understood what they meant. He said, "Okay...... I, I, too, followed me to Beijing. ”

"Don't worry, she'll protect you."

Fu Jiao took out the porcelain plate and handed it to Zhao Hao's palm.

Zhao Hao was afraid and happy about the porcelain plate.

Yan Ji is strong, he is very secure, but ...... It's really fatal to want him to be martyred at every turn!

After the discussion, several people tied up Liang Yuan and Danyang Daoren, and left Yunzhou to enter Beijing at night. After sending Zhao Haosi and Nansi north and south separately, Fu Rudi and Fu Jiao rushed to the Autumn Leaf River non-stop.

On the banks of the Autumn Leaves River in the depths of winter, the grass is barren, and the skulls of children who have been dug up are neatly placed on the riverbank, looking pitiful and lonely.

Fu Jiao couldn't help but feel sad for them, "It's pitiful to die here in vain, after I overkill, my brother will send two servants to send them back to Qiongzhou." "Their parents were bewitched by the stone rhino and killed them for selfishness. But they are all children, and they should also be eager to return to their hometowns.

Fu Jiao lit more than a dozen incense candles and inserted them along the riverbank. At dawn, the incense candles burned out, the cold wind blew in her ears, and faintly, she heard a childish "thank you".

Fu Jiao smiled.

The sky gradually brightens.

The breeze gently blows the leaves, and the undulating mountains are shrouded in orange dawn, like a light veil, which is also the merit of Fu Jiao.
