Last night was a bloody night.

In one night, more than a dozen people died. Most of the victims were the servants of the eunuchs. But among them, there are also people with higher status, such as concubines and the like. In addition, there is a shocking big case. More than 20 women from good families, and the yellow flower girl was tragically defiled. The perpetrator even gouged out the victim's eyes before committing the crime, and the brutality of his methods of crime was outrageous.

Jiang Chuzhe came to the Zhou Palace, Jiang Ci was very happy, and ordered someone to bring candied snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables. Jiang Chuzhe was very interested, and he said: "Sister, you can go home with me these days, I don't worry about you staying here." ”

Jiang Ciyu smiled and said: "I have heard some of those things, and my sister is also a little upset in her heart, but I can't ignore this huge palace." ”

Jiang Chuzhe said lightly: "What is there to take care of in this palace, most of them are inconsequential trivial matters, and my sister can give it to the clever maid to take care of it for you." No matter how bad it is, isn't there still a second brother Chai? ”

"What's the point of being bad!" Chai Yanqing walked into the hall with a grin, glanced at Jiang Chuzhe, and said loudly.

Jiang Chuzhe had already made some remarks about Chai Yanqing's behavior, but because he was quite well cultivated, he had always treated him politely because of his family's affection. But this time it was about Jiang Cishu's life, but he couldn't be more polite, he said coldly: "Do everything that happened at night, Second Master Chai should know something." My sister's life was picked up by luck. I must not put her in danger again!"

Chai Yanqing raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Dangerous land? Good words! The water spilled by the married daughter, this is what your Lao Tzu said back then." Ah, what's the matter, now that I see that my Chai family is in decline, I want to unload the mill and steal the donkey?"

Jiang Ciyu's face was gloomy, she slapped the table and said, "Second master, what are you talking nonsense?"

Chai Yanqing sat down and turned his back to the two of them: "I'm not a person inside and out, and my mother's family has been a heart since ancient times." But my second master Chai didn't give it for nothing, I'm such a sister-in-law, I must not let you take it away!"

Jiang Chuzhe shouted: "It's true that you have a sister-in-law, but do I have two eldest sisters?"

"Shut up!" Jiang Cishu glanced at the two of them and said: "One of your sisters-in-law, an eldest sister's name is affectionate, but when did you put my sister-in-law and eldest sister in your eyes? I'm tired of green, this house will be handed over to you, you're a clever child, you will be able to keep the house in order, right?"

"But ......"

Jiang Cishu smiled and said, "What's the matter, he's all back, are you still afraid that I won't come back?"

Chai Yanqing sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, you go this time and bring all the ladies in the family over, I annoy that group of women chattering all day long." ”

Jiang Ciyu knew that Chai Yanqing was worried about the safety of the women in his family, so he couldn't help but smile with relief: "Okay." ”

Jiang Chuzhe clenched his fists and said: "Second brother, I have offended a lot, and I hope to forgive me." ”

Chai Yanqing sneered and ignored it. Jiang Chuzhe didn't care, he looked at Jiang Cizhen and said, "Sister, you can clean up, and after lunch, I will send a carriage to pick you up......"

Chai was tired of grabbing Bai and said: "Don't worry about your Jiang family, my Chai family doesn't have a carriage!"

Jiang Chuzhe smiled and said goodbye to the two.

After he left, Jiang Ci's eyes were sad, and she said softly: "Your eldest brother has become a colt, why didn't you inform me?"

Chai Yanqing exclaimed: "What...... Isn't I afraid that sister-in-law will make you sad? Anyway, sister-in-law, you don't care about this, besides, it's better to be a concubine than someone else's. Chai Yanqing smiled and said no more.

Jiang Cijun smiled helplessly and thought: "I'm much more stingy than I thought." ”

At this time, Jiang Chuzhe was about to leave the palace, but someone behind him called out to him. Jiang Chuzhe turned around and smiled, and arched his hand: "Old Qian, what do you command?"

Old man Qian beckoned to him mysteriously, Jiang Chuzhe walked over and said, "Old Qian, what do you have to say, hide it so tightly?"

Old man Qian muttered, "Uncle... You... Are you looking into those cases that happened during the night?"

Jiang Chuzhe nodded and said, "Yes, the case is too big, and the prison yamen of Lin'an have been mobilized." ”

Old man Qian said: "I saw something strange last night, and I don't know if it has anything to do with that case. ”

Jiang Chuzhe was taken aback, he pulled Old Man Qian to the corner, and said in a low voice: "Old Qian, if you find something, it will really help me a lot!"

Old man Qian smiled: "I don't know if I can help my uncle, but I feel very weird." ”

Jiang Chuzhe hurriedly said: "Old Qian, you are about to kill me!"

Old man Qian smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll tell you." I guess it was a sub-card, and I heard footsteps outside the street. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, because our palace was in the middle of nowhere, and few people passed by during the day, let alone in the middle of the night. So I took advantage of the moonlight to peek out through the window, and saw only two people stopped at the gate of the palace. One was dressed in black with a pillowcase over his head. The other was dressed in a Taoist robe, like a Taoist priest. ”

Jiang Chuzhe's breath condensed, and he said in his heart: "That secret pestle wheel sect either derived from the side branch of Taoism, or derived from the side branch of Tantra. The two of them walked in the middle of the night, one was dressed strangely and obviously didn't want people to see the real thing, and the other was a Taoist priest, maybe they were really taught by the secret pestle. ”

Old man Qian continued: "The two people stopped outside the palace gate for a while, and the Taoist priest pulled his legs and wanted to come in, but was stopped by the black-clothed man with a pillowcase. Then, the two of them didn't know what they muttered, and left. ”

Jiang Chuzhe was frightened, and he said secretly: "My sister's life was really picked up." But why didn't they enter the palace, could it be ......" Jiang Chuzhe glanced meaningfully at the depths of the palace, turned to Lao Qian and said, "The appearance of the Taoist priest, can you see it clearly?"

Old man Qian waved his hand and said: "That Taoist priest doesn't know what demon magic he has cast, and his face is like a layer of white mist, and he can't see his appearance clearly." ”

Jiang Chuzhe nodded, and said with a straight face: "Old Qian, this matter is limited to you and me." If it is revealed, you and I will be killed. ”

Old man Qian hurriedly said, "Eh, uncle...... You can rest assured, the little old man will be tight-lipped!"

On the outskirts of Lin'an, among a farmer's household.

I saw an old man dressed in coarse linen clothes, with white sideburns and a weathered face, squatting on the ground hugging his head and crying, only to hear him say in a trembling voice: "I... But it's just such a girl... It's been ruined, don't talk about it...... Still... I was stabbed in both eyes... This will teach me how to live! Ladies and gentlemen, you will definitely arrest that evil thief and bring him to justice, and he will be cut with a thousand knives!"

There were four Cong Yunwei standing in the courtyard, and the leader was wearing a black iron mask. The murder case is still easy to investigate, but the investigation of the rape case is difficult to prove. Those families did not mention the defilement of their daughters, and they did not know how many homes they searched, but they only found this place.

She sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. With that, she gestured to the three people behind her, and one of them entered the broken house. There was a beautiful girl sitting in plain dress, and she was sewing a garment, because her eyes could not see, and she did not know how many times her fingers had been pricked. Still, the girl smiled sweetly.

The girl heard someone push the door in, and said with a smile: "You are here to catch the bad guy's sister, sit down, Ruo'er will pour you tea." ”

Hearing this, Tie Zhu smiled and said, "How do you know that I am my sister?"

Ruo'er smiled: "Because the smell of my sister is sweet and fragrant, Ruo'er can smell it clearly." ”

"What a good girl. Shen Mingyue took off her mask and pinned it to her waist, she stepped forward and hugged Ruo'er, who was messing around, and said, "Sister doesn't drink tea, you sit down."

Ruo'er sat down and said, "If my sister wants to ask anything, then I will ask." ”

Shen Mingyue picked up the shirt that Ruo'er had just sewn, and she could only see that although the legs on the shirt were crooked, the work was extremely exquisite. She said distressedly: "Ruo'er, you should have a good rest now." ”

Ruo'er smiled: "I don't rest, if I rest, then who will serve Daddy." Daddy is always crying today, saying that Ruo'er can't get married. But if I want to, then I can take care of my father wholeheartedly. ”

Shen Mingyue didn't want to ask again, how could she bear to tear open the girl's wound again. She took the girl's hand and smiled: "Ruo'er is really sensible, who said that Ruo'er can't get married, it seems that Ruo'er is such a good woman, I don't know how many people rush to marry, if my sister is a man, I will marry Ruo'er now." ”

Ruo'er Xia flew on her cheeks, but in an instant, the tears that swirled in her eyes fell, extinguishing the newly ignited flame. She reached out and wiped away her tears, and then laughed. Ruo'er seemed to know that Shen Mingyue didn't want to mention her sadness, so she took the initiative to speak: "Sister, those two bad guys who came at night stink to death!"

Shen Mingyue frowned and said, "Ruo'er saw their appearance?"

Ruo'er shook her head and said, "That's not true, when I woke up, my eyes were no longer visible." ”

Shen Mingyue felt a pain in her heart and hugged Ruo'er in her arms.

Ruo'er smiled: "But I smelled the smell of their bodies, one of them was stinky, but the other was like coming out of the temple, and there was the smell of burning incense... But... But it seems to be a little different. ”

Shen Mingyue said in her heart when she heard this: "Is it a Taoist priest or a monk?" In a snap of her fingers, she made her own decision. She shouted outside the house and called Ruo'er's father in alone. When the old man saw Shen Mingyue holding his daughter, he was furious, raised the stool, and was about to smash it at Shen Mingyue.

Suddenly, the old man's movements stopped abruptly. The one who kept his daughter turned out to be a beautiful woman who was as beautiful as a peach blossom.

Shen Mingyue said: "I want to take Ruo'er away." ”

The old man knelt on the ground with a bang and cried, "Official... Grandma Guan... You're open... Don't take Ruo'er away, Ruo'er is the life of an old man!"

Shen Mingyue stood up expressionlessly, walked in front of the old man, and kicked the old man in the chest with his foot. The old man was terrified, but Shen Mingyue's kick was very light, just kicking him. The old man lay on his back, and two shiny objects flew out of his shirt and landed on the ground. If you look closely, it's two pieces of silver.

The old man was frightened, and just as he was about to pick up the two pieces of silver, Shen Mingyue kicked the two pieces of silver into the distance. She squatted down, pressed the old man's head, and whispered: "You saw the two people who bullied Ruo'er, this silver is the silver you used to sell your daughter, right!"

The old man wanted to argue loudly, but after he glanced at Ruo'er, he reluctantly lowered his voice and said, "No, no, as soon as I wake up during the day, this silver will be at the head of the old man's bed!"

Shen Mingyue sneered: "The house where you and Ruo'er live is only separated by a wall, and when she was bullied, she shouted for help, didn't you hear it? If you didn't hear it and get up and check it out, how could they seal your mouth with silver? Now, I will tell Ruo'er about the ugly things you have done, and then I will know your life with a knife!"

The old man hurriedly said, "No, no!" The old man heard it and wanted to go in to stop them, but the Taoist priest knocked the old man out with one palm. Then the Taoist priest tried to kill me, and another man came out to stop him, and gave the old man two ingots of silver. ”

Shen Mingyue asked, "Then what?"

The old man said: "And then they... And they're gone!"

Shen Mingyue sneered: "You are lying! They are giving you the silver before and then bullying Ruo'er! Delusional Ruo'er respects you and is filial to you! You are a father, but you are not as good as a beast, watching Ruo'er, a good girl, be defiled by that pig and dog!" Shen Mingyue's heart was like a knife, and she sighed: "If you don't still have a trace of conscience, I will end up with you now!"

The old man said: "I just know... Daoqi...... One of them is a Taoist priest...... As for what they look like... The old man didn't see it clearly...... The old man didn't see ...... clearly."

Shen Mingyue pondered: "He didn't lie, if he saw it clearly, I'm afraid he would have been killed long ago." ”

Ruo'er first heard Shen Mingyue whispering to her father, and then heard her father crying loudly, she was anxious for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Daddy, what's wrong?"

The old man glanced at Shen Mingyue's cold eyes, and then said: "Ruo'er, you can go with this official grandmother! she can, she can cure your eyes, and she can find you a good mother-in-law!"

Ruo'er smiled: "I believe what this sister said, but Ruo'er can't go, if Ruo'er leaves, what should Daddy do? ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "Grandma Guan gave Daddy a lot of silver, enough for Daddy and me to enjoy the blessings for the rest of my life, Ruo'er don't worry about me!"

Shen Mingyue picked up the mask and put it on her face, then picked up Ruo'er's legs and hugged her.

Ruo'er sobbed: "Sister......"

Shen Mingyue smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, my sister will take you to treat your eyes, and after curing your eyes, you will be able to see your father." ”

Ruo'er nodded her head.

The two of them got out of the dilapidated house and went all the way. Although Ruo'er was blind, she still subconsciously looked back. The dilapidated house that brought her infinite warmth and also brought countless pains was now gone, and only the infinite darkness in front of her remained. I don't know how long it took, Ruo'er was buried in Shen Mingyue's arms and cried bitterly.

Although the eyes are gloomy, the heart is like a mirror.

Suddenly, he grinned and stood up: "Sister, why did you get a little girl?"

Shen Mingyue put Ruo'er on the ground, took her hand, and whispered a few words to the blood catcher. Blood Hunt nodded, he glanced at Ruo'er deeply, and sighed, "This is a good girl." ”

Shen Mingyue smiled and said, "Didn't the eldest brother work as a guard in the Horse Mansion, why did he come back to the palace again?"

Blood Hunt smiled bitterly: "It's hard to say, I've met my old opponent." By the way, you can be the guard of the Pony Mansion on my behalf. ”

Shen Mingyue frowned and said, "This can't be done, the case in my hand is about to burn, where is the idle time." ”

Blood Hunt smiled and said: "You just returned to Beijing from Chengdu, and you went to Huizhou again after two days, you are running back and forth, it's time to rest." Speaking of this, the blood catcher lowered his voice and complained in Shen Mingyue's ear: "There is no shortage of you to investigate this case, I will do it for you, you should always rest assured." And you brought this little girl back, you can't ignore it, you just take advantage of this effort to enlighten her. ”

Although Ruo'er looked cheerful and tight, Shen Mingyue could feel that her body had been trembling slightly. Hearing the words of the blood catcher, she smiled helplessly and said, "Then please leave it to the eldest brother." ”

Blood Hunt nodded and said, "This time, you go to the Horse Mansion, and by the way, send a palace lady from Concubine Han Guifei to the Horse." ”

Shen Mingyue exclaimed, "What is the truth?"

Blood Hunt said with a smile: "I heard that it was Qin Xiang's proposal, and it was just to win people's hearts, this concubine is the heir of the king of Shuzhong, who doesn't want to win over him." ”

"This one too. Shen Mingyue thought at this time: "That king of Shu is heroic, and I don't know what kind of virtue this heir he picked. ”

It was noon, and Shen Mingyue came to the Horse Mansion.

The guards at the gate saw her outfit and did not dare to stop her, and let her go in. She didn't have long to walk before she ran into a cuckoo. Although Dong Ping said that he let the cuckoo rest, the cuckoo couldn't be idle, and he got up and took care of it as soon as he was old.

The cuckoo was startled at first when he saw the terrifying iron mask Shen Mingyue was wearing. Immediately, she saw a woman behind Shen Mingyue who was dressed in an emerald green palace dress, with creamy skin, red lips and white teeth, and was looking curiously at the surroundings with a pair of bony eyes, and couldn't help but say proudly: "This girl is so beautiful." ”

Shen Mingyue lowered her voice and said lightly: "Can the master of the horse be in the house?"

The cuckoo made a blessing and said, "The master of the horse went to the banquet, but he was not in the house." If you have any problems, tell the slave first. ”

Shen Mingyue said: "The girl Biyin behind this capture was given to the master of the horse by the saint, since the master of the horse is not there, then the master will hand him over to you." ”

Hearing this, Du Juan couldn't help but glance at Biyin again, but this look, she was ashamed of herself, and she said in her heart: "This girl is so beautiful......
