Shengjing Conspiracy

Chapter 47, Assigning Work

In the backyard of Dali Temple, Wen Youqing and Jing Yun were sharing food, Xiaowu Darksan had a serious face, Jiangnan Xing and a fat orange raccoon slave were on the forehead—eating and drinking.

When Qianqian came in, he saw such a scene. His eyes darkened and he almost fainted. He gasped for a long time and held his chest, pointing at Wen Youqing's "you, you, you" for a long time. , there is no context.

"Old man, what on earth are you going to say?" Xiao Wu was about to talk about what he saw last night, but this man interrupted him.

Unexpectedly, this sentence directly blew up Qian Qian, jumping up on the spot and wanting to hit someone, so that Xiao Wu could dodge quickly, so the third player also gave Qian Qian a vicious look.

Where is the crazy old man!

"I'm a fifth-rank official of the imperial court, who are you staring at, kid!" Qian Qian said angrily.

Ansan sneered, and took off his waist badge. The quaint tiger pattern was serious and solemn, "It's the fourth-rank border city defense captain."

It is said that the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, how could the secret guard, as the guard next to Jing Yun, have no official position, but usually the secret guards act in a low-key manner, this time Qian Qian used the official to suppress people, so the secret guard will not You're welcome.

Qian Qian was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to say: "This is Dali Temple, not a place for you to mess around!"

Said that he looked at Jiangnan Xing pointedly, and pinched the persimmon softly. He can't afford to provoke General Dingyuan's people. It's okay to look at someone who has no official position.

Jiang Nanxing was stunned for a long time with the fritters in his mouth before he realized that the old man had found something on his head.

He was originally from the Jianghu, and there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority, so he was not polite, picked up the chopsticks on the table and threw them out.

The chopsticks brushed past Qian Qian's face like an arrow, and nailed to the doorpost behind him, penetrating three points.

Jiang Nanxing's martial arts is not the best, but it is also ranked first. It should not be too easy to take things at will and kill people.

Qian Qian looked back at the chopsticks tremblingly, and almost knelt down. At this time, he knew that there was no one in this yard that he could afford to provoke, and he didn't dare to provoke him any more, even running around and crawling. Out of the yard.

"Hey, that's how scary it is." Jiang Nanxing didn't suppress his voice, he had to make sure Qian Qian could hear him.

Wen Youqing didn't want to waste any time, so she greeted Xiao Wuan San over, "You guys continue to talk, how did you go last night?"

Xiao Wu wiped his face, "The valley is very evil, the darkness almost scared me to death last night!" After speaking, he took a sip of porridge with lingering fears, and it seemed that he was really frightened.

"What?" Jiang Nanxing's curiosity was aroused, and he asked after hearing Xiao Wu's words.

An San put down the bowl that he had emptied in one gulp, and said, "Human sacrifice."

Human sacrifices have existed since ancient times. At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, the founding emperor of the Baili clan ordered that human sacrifices be banned nationwide.

About Wen Youqing's human sacrifice was only recorded in relatively academic books, and now there are still people doing human sacrifices, such inhuman things.

"How many?" Jing Yun was relatively calm about this. In his words, there are many tribes that believe in gods in the desert. Compared with the Central Plains people who read the Four Books and Five Classics in that place, the gods they believe in are relatively rude. It is everything, and offering to God must be the best, and human beings are the best sacrifices, so such things as human sacrifices are not uncommon.

The best example is Ku Ye in the previous border town case. He used insanity to trap people in the underground palace and repeated the requiem ballad over and over again, which is also human sacrifice, and the so-called human sacrifice is nothing but madness.

"We found a cave full of corpses so densely packed that we couldn't even count them." Xiao Wu swallowed the zongzi in his mouth. The scene he saw before was so exciting that he probably wouldn't be able to eat the meat for a while.

"Looks like I have to go to the valley again." Wen Youqing was glad that she was full, otherwise she would definitely not have the desire to eat now.

He turned his head to see that Jing Yun was not affected, and conveniently put the peeled egg into his bowl, and sighed: "I didn't expect such a valley to hide so many secrets."

"If so many people died, why hasn't anyone reported the crime recently?" Jiang Nanxing wondered.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was taken aback. Yes, if it is a human sacrifice, someone must be there, but no one has reported missing during this period. This is absolutely abnormal. Wen Youqing wiped her hands, "Maybe They are not kidnapped from ordinary people, but there are a lot of beggars in this capital, so it is very troublesome to investigate."

"There is a saying that you should have heard." Jiang Nanxing chuckled, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Just leave it to me."

With new clues to the case, Wen Youqing's headache stopped, "In this case, let's divide into two groups. Nan Xing, go and check if there are any missing beggars in the city. I'll go to the valley and see that person together." sacrifice."

After confirming the task, Wen Youqing thought that there was still Jing Yun who had nothing to do, so he turned to look at a certain general, but his whole body was not well.

Seeing that Jing Yun found a handkerchief from nowhere, and put an egg in it, it was the one that Wen Youqing had just peeled.

The eyes of other people were also attracted, with different thoughts.

Xiao Wu: General, are you storing dry food?This peeled egg is not easy to put, is it?

Set [-]: It's broken, the general started to get sick intermittently again.

Jiangnan Xing: Tsk tsk tsk, how can you be so stupid when you are alone.

Wen Youqing: ...

Wen Youqing had nothing to say, he directly picked up the egg and stuffed it into Jing Yun's mouth, and said with a forced smile, "Don't waste food!"

Seeing the regretful expression on Jing Yun's face, Wen Youqing wished he could choke him to death with an egg.

After the trouble, Jing Yun drank a few glasses of water and went on, raising his hand silently, "What about me?"

Wen Youqing frowned and looked at him, "You are a general after all, you won't be afraid that someone will interfere with you if you fool around with me all day."

Jing Yun spread his hands, and said innocently: "I went back to Beijing to report on my work, and it's boring to have nothing to do every day after the report."

"So?" Wen Youqing squinted at him.

Jing Yun chuckled, "Please let me do coolie for you, I'm still very useful, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he gave him a meaningful look, but what he said was obviously normal but made him express a lingering feeling.

"Then it's hard work for you." Wen Youqing sneered.

Call people?

He is professional!

After breakfast, everyone split up according to what they said before.

I just came here yesterday, and I'm familiar with the road today. Xiao Wu and An San led the way and found the cave very quickly.

The entrance of the cave is full of branches, which must have been deliberately covered up by someone. The branches were pulled away, and everyone entered the cave. The scene of entering the cave is more terrifying than the previous tombstone.

"Did you ask what the smell is...it seems to be some kind of fragrance." Wen Youqing smelled lightly, there were so many bones in front of him, some were white bones and some had meat crumbs hanging on them, but none of these could cover up the floral fragrance.

As soon as Wen Youqing said, other people also smelled the same smell. Jing Yun's sense of smell is more sensitive. He carefully distinguished it and said: "It's peach blossoms. There is no peach blossoms here, so why does it smell like peach blossoms?"
