princess teasing concubine
Chapter 39
In the end, Shangguan Yue brought him back to the Zhizhou Mansion and confronted him face to face, but suddenly there was a middle-aged man beside Shangguan Ling. Not very respectful.
The atmosphere around him was also very gloomy, giving people an uncomfortable and depressing feeling.
In the room, Shiyin was lying on the bed weakly, and Shangguan Ling's attitude was also very gentle. The man in mourning knelt down and dared not look up.
Shangguan Ling held Shiyin's hand tightly, "Are you fit?"
Shiyin smiled weakly, nodded and said: "The minister and concubine are fine, the Holy Majesty does not need to worry."
Why do you feel that Shangguan Ling has become gentle?
Seeing this, Mu Jin asked helplessly, "My lord, how should I make a decision?"
Shangguan Ling let go and covered Shiyin with the quilt, "Go out and talk first, don't disturb Yin'er's rest."
Everyone went out of the room in response, the man in mourning stood far away, he didn't dare to approach rashly, "Your Majesty, the grass people are not saying anything in vain, I hope your Majesty will see clearly."
Shangguan Ling frowned and thought.
Zhizhou glanced at the man in black, and the man said: "Your sister's experience is indeed sympathetic, but now the country has just settled down, if such a serial killer appears, people will only panic, let's not worry about it." Make a statement, I will investigate secretly."
Shangguan Ling nodded, "Master is right."
Zhizhou smiled, "You go back first, the Holy Majesty has promised to investigate secretly, so he will definitely find out."
Grandmaster?
Mu Jin hesitated to speak, Wang Fugui quietly pulled Mu Jin back a step, and said in a low voice, "This person's name is Tai Jie'er, and he is 150 years old. The Holy One came all the way for this person."
What! 150 four years old?
I really can't see it. If it is true, then it is understandable that Shangguan Ling coveted immortality. Which high-ranking person would not want to live for a long time so that they can continue their rule.
"Yes."
Hearing this, the man in mourning clenched his hands and left.
Only then did Shangguan Ling raise a smiling face, "Master, why don't you find a quieter place to discuss in detail?"
Tejer nodded, "Please!"
Shangguan Yue and Mu Jin looked at each other, "It seems that we have to investigate this matter ourselves."
Zhizhou at the side heard the words, bowed down and said respectfully: "Princess, it's better to leave this kind of matter to the lower officials to investigate."
"It doesn't matter, Bengong is also doing nothing, just look for fun."
Zhizhou nodded and said yes, "If the princess needs to step down, the next official will do her best to help the princess."
"Well, you go down first!"
Zhizhou saluted and retreated, "I will take my leave."
Ke Muliang looked at his back, "I always feel weird, you say, that master is really over 100 years old?"
Shangguan Yue: "In the early years, I also heard about it. I think the emperor came here after investigating clearly."
Mu Jin looked sideways, "So it's true."
Shangguan Yue nodded, "Nine out of ten."
Ke Muliang: "If it's true, then it's a little troublesome. This person looks very gloomy and chilling. I always feel that he is not a good person."
Mu Jin nodded, "I feel the same way as you."
Shangguan Yue: "Let's investigate the disappearance of these people first. As for whether this person is a demon or a fairy, we will talk about it later."
"it is good."
But at this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared at the corner of the room. Seeing this, Shangguan Yue suddenly turned his head and said, "What's the matter?"
Mu Jin followed her gaze, only to see a black shadow appearing, she was surprised: "Ada, so you have been bringing the shadow guard with you, it was so dangerous just now, why didn't you ask the shadow guard to come out?"
Shangguan Yue curled her lips into a smile, "Before life and death, there is no need for shadow guards, besides, I have to show my skills in front of Jin'er, so as to attract Jin'er's attention."
Mu Jin raised his middle finger!
Ada handed a stack of letters to Shangguan Yue, "Your Highness, letters from the mansion."
Shangguan Yue opened it and looked at it, but her smile froze in vain, "You send a letter to Shangguan Hong Feige, just write... If you dare to answer, I will cut off his head after I return."
"Yes." Ada quickly disappeared.
"Bring it to me and have a look." Mu Jin was curious about what made Shangguan Yue so angry, she stretched out her hand to see what was written inside.
Shangguan Yue raised her hand, "Even if I give it to you, I can't understand it."
Mu Jin was furious, "You insult my IQ."
She stepped forward to snatch it, but Shangguan Yue was a master, and Mu Jin couldn't reach her raised hand, Ke Muliang shook his head.
As soon as Mu Jin rolled his eyes, he stretched out his hand to scratch Shangguan Yue's waist. She chuckled lightly and reluctantly handed the letter to her.
Mu Jin took a closer look, and there were some lines and dots on it, which looked like Morse code, but not quite.
In the past, she watched detective TV series and looked it up on the Internet, so she knew a little about it.
Mu Jin pointed to the first line, "Marriage!"
Shangguan Yue winked.
Mu Jin pointed to the second line, "Princess Beimu!"
Mu Jin pointed to the third line again, before he could take a closer look, Shangguan Yue snatched it and tore it to pieces.
"Hey, why did you tear it up?"
"It's just some insignificant things." Shangguan Yue narrowed her eyes and reached out to caress Mu Jin's cheek, "I never thought that Jin'er is so smart."
Doesn't matter?
Ha ha!
"Marriage?" Mu Jin glanced sideways, "It's still Beimu's princess, so who is she marrying with? It made you tear up the letter paper in anger."
Shangguan Yue looked coldly, "Why, are you curious?"
"Of course I'm curious, who is it?"
"I don't want to tell you." When Mu Jin was stunned, Shangguan Yue turned around and said: "Go to the government office to find out how many people are missing."
"Hey? Wait for me!"
On the way, no matter how Mu Jin asked, Shangguan Yue just smiled and didn't answer. It wasn't until the three of them entered the government office that Mu Jin gave up.
The county magistrate greeted him personally, "Your highness is welcome."
Shangguan Yue nodded, and went straight to the court to write the case, "You go and bring the cases of missing persons in recent years to this Palace."
The county magistrate bowed his head, "Yes, go get it quickly."
Mu Jin and Ke Muliang moved chairs and sat around the case, "After counting the missing persons, what shall we do next?"
Shangguan Yue casually picked up the file on the desk to check, "There is no rush, the population statistics will take time."
"What time?"
Shangguan Yue explained, "Disappearance cases are also classified. If you want to find them, you are also looking for disappearance cases similar to the deceased."
Mu Jin recalled, "According to what the man surnamed Wang said, their family lived by collecting herbs in the mountains. That day when his sister went to collect herbs early in the morning, she never came back. She was found lying on the street half a month later. He bled to death."
Shangguan Yue nodded, "Just look for similar disappearance cases, let's integrate them and see how many people there are."
"it is good."
After a while, the county magistrate came with a large stack of files, and the two yamen servants put down the heavy files, "Princess, this is a case of disappearance in the past three years, please have a look."
"Well, let's all go down!"
"Yes."
Mu Jin took out a scroll, "This man is a man, because of his mental retardation, he got separated during the temple fair. It doesn't look like him, but there are so many, it depends on how long it takes."
Ke Muliang: "There is no one who disappears every day. Maybe these files are basically the same."
Shangguan Yue picked up a volume, "Well, they are indeed similar. They both disappeared for no reason when they were alone, and they were both young people."
"It's a pity, what a great time."
Mu Jin went on to read the next volume. The three of them basically read it all afternoon. It was roughly confirmed that more than 1000 people were missing. She stretched her neck, "So many people, what has this government been doing for years?"
Shangguan Yue frowned, and asked the county magistrate who was waiting beside him, "It's been a few years, have you found anything?"
The county magistrate hesitated for a while, "This... the lower officials didn't find anything, and these files were all suppressed by the magistrate of the prefecture, and the lower officials and the young and old didn't dare to ask more questions."
Shangguan Yue frowned, "Then Tai Jie'er next to Zhizhou, do you know what his origin is, and what does he do on weekdays?"
The county magistrate bowed his head, "This man is from this county. He has a withdrawn personality and is not loved by his neighbors. Especially there are more than a hundred people who look like young men. Everyone is afraid of him. According to the previous county magistrate At that time, someone threatened that he was the reincarnation of a monster, so they assembled a group of people to burn him to death, but he was rescued later, and he became the guest of Lord Zhizhou."
"As for daily life, I don't know too much about it. I only know that he likes to study some poisons and use these poisons to make medicines, saying that he can fight poison with poison."
Shangguan Yue asked again: "I heard that a large number of poor people were driven out of the city, do you know where they went?"
The county magistrate's eyes dodged, Shangguan Yue saw this, and scolded coldly: "To be honest, if there are false concealments, your family will still be in danger. If you succeed in solving the case, you will be exonerated from the crime of negligence of duty."
"Yes, the lower officials must know everything." Immediately afterwards, the county magistrate shook his head and sighed, "But the lower officials really don't know where these people are going, so they should be resettled elsewhere!"
Ke Muliang: "But in the rest of the city, I have never heard of any refugees."
The county magistrate thought about it, "This... oh, by the way, the officer remembered something. Although he didn't know where these people went, there was a mountain a hundred miles south of the city, and the mountainside There seems to be a large piece of soil that has been thrown away, this is what I heard from others in the restaurant, and I just thought it was strange at the time, and didn't think much about it."
Shangguan Yue stood up, "Let's go, take someone with me, and follow me to have a look."
The county magistrate looked outside, "It's getting late, Your Highness should go tomorrow morning?"
"No, lead the way."
"Yes."
The mountainside at the back was covered by a layer of thick fog when it was cool at night, and it looked like a hell. Even the surrounding torches looked like will-o'-the-wisps. Mu Jin followed closely behind Shangguan Yue.
Many trees here have been cut down, presumably some people make a living by cutting down trees, and because there are few trees here, the wild beasts will leave, and naturally there will be no other people coming here.
Ke Muliang touched the soil on the ground, and observed the color of the soil around it, "It was thrown over."
Shangguan Yue ordered, "Dig."
"Yes."
The yamen servant raised his shovel and began to dig. Mu Jin rubbed his arms, "It's eerie here."
Ke Muliang suddenly put on a grimace, "There may be unjust dead ghosts... woo woo..."
"Childish." Mu Jin rolled his eyes.
When the digging was about one person high, there was still nothing to be seen. When the county magistrate asked if he wanted to give up, Shangguan Yue said coldly, "Dig deeper."
"Yes."
The yamen servant continued to expand the scope of excavation, and dug deeper and deeper, until a rotting hand was exposed, and the yamen servant exclaimed, "There are dead people."
The county magistrate was terrified, "Quickly dig."
It wasn't until midnight that a huge mass grave was gradually revealed. A pile of corpses were struggling to climb out. Their faces were distorted and they were older. Under the moonlight, it shocked people's hearts!
The atmosphere around him was also very gloomy, giving people an uncomfortable and depressing feeling.
In the room, Shiyin was lying on the bed weakly, and Shangguan Ling's attitude was also very gentle. The man in mourning knelt down and dared not look up.
Shangguan Ling held Shiyin's hand tightly, "Are you fit?"
Shiyin smiled weakly, nodded and said: "The minister and concubine are fine, the Holy Majesty does not need to worry."
Why do you feel that Shangguan Ling has become gentle?
Seeing this, Mu Jin asked helplessly, "My lord, how should I make a decision?"
Shangguan Ling let go and covered Shiyin with the quilt, "Go out and talk first, don't disturb Yin'er's rest."
