Sir, I can do it!

Han Chongliang's scalp tightened, he pointed at the fan with trembling fingers, and said tremblingly, "Human skin?!"

Changsun Ke's eyes were condensed, and his deep voice was filled with suppressed anger: "There are still human blood...human bones."

Han Chongliang's eyes fell on the bright red plum petals, and his eyes moved down to see the smooth handle of the fan.Immediately, I felt a chill run down my spine.

"Fresh." Changsun Ke continued.

Han Chongliang sat slumped on the ground.

If Changsun Ke didn't say anything, he hadn't noticed it yet, staring at the fan now, he really smelled a faint smell of blood.Can't help scalp numbness.

Wei Zhao was also startled, threw the fan into the box at once, kept rubbing his hands on the hem of his clothes, suddenly his hands paused, got up abruptly and walked towards the East Garden.Changsun Ke followed behind.

Han Chongliang was still sitting on the ground and looked up to see that both of them had left.The summer night was sweltering, but there was a gust of wind blowing from nowhere. Han Chongliang stole a glance at the fan, shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly patted his buttocks to follow.

When it was time for the banquet in the East Garden, Wei Zhao looked around calmly, but he didn't see the young man who just presented the gift.He looked back at Changsun Ke, who shook his head slightly at him.

Wei Zhao pursed his lower lip, turned around and went to look for Butler Wei again.Han Chongliang, who had just followed up, saw that he was leaving again. He originally wanted to gain popularity among the crowd, but after thinking about it, he followed him again.

The butler Wei was arranging for the servants to lead the drunken guests to the guest room to rest. Seeing Wei Zhao approaching, he looked a little strange, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Third young master."

Wei Zhao cut to the chase and said, "Uncle Wei, where is the young man who presented the gift just now?"

Housekeeper Wei said: "The old slave sent the gift box to the side hall and went here to arrange things. I didn't notice the young man. Why, he wasn't at the table?"

Wei Zhao shook his head.

Seeing his frowning and gloomy expression, Housekeeper Wei felt his heart skip a beat: "Is there something wrong with that person?"

Wei Zhao didn't know how to speak for a while: "Uncle Wei, you should be busy first, no matter what, today's grandma's birthday banquet must make grandma happy."

The housekeeper Wei knew that something must have happened, so he couldn't help but raise his heart, and ordered the servant to be careful, but report anything wrong immediately.

Wei Zhao whispered to Wei Fang again, telling him to communicate with the guards in the house and check the young man's movements.He went back to the side hall and took the gift box away.

Han Chongliang followed all the way, and he had already turned 180 times in his heart. He asked Changsun Ke: "How can Mr. Changsun see that it is human skin and blood at a glance?"

Changsun Ke said: "Get used to it."

Han Chongliang stopped asking.This is the well-known living Yan Luo, and now he can't help but wonder if the torture in Nanfu involves the skinning of people alive.The more I thought about it, the colder I felt, I couldn't help but move to Wei Zhao's side.Although he aspires to become a great general, he clamors to be on the battlefield.But at most he was good at fighting with others, and he had never killed anyone. Seriously speaking, he had really seen a dead person two months ago when the public trial of Yan Hong was over.

"Azhao, on Grandma Wei's birthday today, someone actually presents such an evil thing. Isn't this bringing bad luck to others? It's really vicious!"

Wei Zhao had been tense since he learned that the fan was made of human skin and human blood. Hearing what Han Chongliang said now, he felt cold all over his body, and his face was so gloomy and frightening.

Han Chongliang had never seen Wei Zhao so angry before. He wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to speak. He was afraid that his mouth would become more and more serious, so he simply didn't say anything.

The three returned to Guiyun Courtyard in silence, and Wei Fang also came back a step behind.

"Master, the villain went to the banquet to inquire. After the young man presented the gift, he pretended to be drunk and left the banquet. The guard outside saw him leaving the mansion to the east, just a quarter of an hour ago. The villain asked Wei Yun to lead the investigation. He is being hunted down, but there is no news yet."

Changsun Ke took out the fan from the box, stared at it for a long time, and then said after a while: "I will pay attention to this matter for those who withdraw from the Hou's mansion."

Wei Zhao thought for a while, then nodded towards Wei Fang.

The guests in the front yard were noisy and drinking wine, and it was not until late at night that they gradually dispersed.Mrs. Wei was old, she was exhausted after all, and couldn't bear the toss, so she had already gone back to Xikua courtyard to rest with the help of Madam Xu.The housekeeper Wei is directing a group of servants to tidy up the East Garden.

Wei Xuan rubbed the corners of her stiff mouth, and said, "This night, I laughed at everyone, and my smiling face became stiff."

Wei Shuhua thumped her sore waist, and yawned: "Those housewives grew up without knowing what to eat. They can make 88 detours with one sentence, and they don't feel too tired to panic."

Wei Xi couldn't help laughing in a low voice when he heard his brother and sister talking.

Wei Shuhua, who was sleepy at first, heard this chuckle, her eyes lit up immediately, she ran to Wei Xi's side mysteriously, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I saw that you had a good conversation with Mr. Qin Ce, it's a coincidence , I also had a good chat with Miss Qin Zheng."

Seeing her bright eyes, Wei Xi knew that she was satisfied with Miss Qin Zheng in her heart, and that's what her grandmother thought.He has been struggling for many years, and originally wanted to die alone.But the elders in the family looked forward to it, and he couldn't bear to make them worry anymore.Just thinking about my current appearance and the unknown future, I don't want to involve other women.

Seeing that he remained silent for a while, Wei Shuhua thought that he was refusing again as before, and sighed secretly in her heart, but still smiled on her face: "Second brother, don't think too much, you can't force marriage, and grandma never interferes too much We juniors, if the second elder brother is unwilling, grandma will not force it."

Wei Xi looked at Wei Shuhua lovingly: "You are comforting the second brother. Forget it, grandmother and sister-in-law have the same heart, and brother Qin is very eloquent, and you appreciate Miss Qin quite a lot. As long as Miss Qin doesn't give up , I would like to obey my grandmother's arrangement."

Wei Shuhua's eyes lit up, she nodded repeatedly, and said in a low voice: "Miss Qin has admired her second brother for a long time."

Wei Xi's fair face flushed slightly, and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to tarnish Miss Qin's reputation."

Wei Shuhua winked: "It hasn't been decided yet, it's up for maintenance..."

Wei Xi raised his hand and gave her a chestnut. Wei Shuhua rubbed his head and stuck out his tongue playfully at him.Just as he was about to share this happy event with Wei Zhao, he suddenly realized that he didn't see anyone that night, and he usually likes to join in the fun.

He looked around, and saw Wei Zhao holding a box in his hand and walking towards the main hall with a drooping face. Wei Shuhua hurriedly stood up, pointed to the box in his hand, and said, "Butler Wei was crazy looking for this box just now." When did I tell you to take it away?"

Wei Zhao didn't say anything, but asked, "Where's dad?"

Wei Xuan leaned on the chair and almost fell asleep. Hearing Wei Zhao's question, he lazily raised his finger and pointed to the east: "Where's the study?"

Wei Zhao turned around and left, took a step and then stopped, thinking that this matter should be discussed with his family, so as not to be calculated by others inadvertently.

He turned around again and said: "Elder brother and second brother, come with me to the study to find father." Yu Guang saw Wei Shuhua staring at him, so he added: "Second sister also go."

"I can't talk about anything tomorrow." Wei Xuan stood up, stretched, and yawned long.

Since he was dismissed from office, in order to avoid the suspicion of his superiors, he rarely even went to the flying tiger camp in the suburbs, and at most he played martial arts in the mansion.Wei Xuan, who was used to training soldiers and horses every day, suddenly took a break, feeling unhappy anywhere.

Wei Ru is reading the letter in the study.

Soon after summer, the sky in Fuzhou seemed to have been poked into a hole, and the rain continued continuously. After that, several heavy rains fell in a row, causing the water level of the Wei River to rise.Zhang Zhixin, the chief clerk, sensed that the situation was wrong, and suggested that the prefect should hand over the papers to the imperial court.

The area around Fuzhou is very rainy, and the water level rises every year during the rainy season. At first, I didn't care.Unexpectedly, the rain was heavy and there was no sign of clearing up. Zhang Zhixin urged him repeatedly, saying that Fulingyan could not hold on anymore.

Zhang Zhi trusted Fu Governor Shi only half a year ago, but Mr. Zhang has been in office for five full years.Zhang Zhixin didn't know about Fulingyan, but he knew it all in his heart.It's not that he doesn't know how important Fuling Weir is, and he even broke his leg in the past few days. Seeing that the situation is getting worse, he has no choice but to report to the court.

Fuling Weir is a very important weir in the middle of the Weishui River, and the Ministry of Household Affairs allocates funds to repair Fuling Weir every year.At the beginning of Li Huai's accession to the throne, he even allocated special funds to strengthen the Fuling Weir Project.Because of the fertile land in Weinan, three to four out of ten of the taxes and grain collected by the imperial court come from Weinan. The importance of Fuling Weir is self-evident.

Although Li Huai was worried, even if the rain was heavy this year, the reinforcement project had only been reinforced for five years, and with the annual maintenance, it would not be unbearable.The ministers of the DPRK and China also think so.How could a project as big as Fuling Weir cost so much manpower and material resources five years ago to be destroyed so easily.

However, breaking the embankment is only a momentary thing.

The people in Fuzhou are still worrying about how to plant this year's crops. They watched the vast white mist soaring into the sky from a distance, accompanied by huge tremors. Before anyone could see clearly, the white mist swallowed them like gluttonous gluttons.

The Fuling Weir broke its embankment, flooding the river and flooding the fields. The homes of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides of the Fuling Weir were destroyed, and tens of thousands of people were washed away by the flood.

The letter before the Wei Ru case was delivered at night, and I believe Li Huai will receive the note from Fuzhou tomorrow.

The door of the study was slammed, and Wei Ru suddenly came back to his senses, and asked, "Who is outside!"

"It's Ah Zhao, dad, what's the matter with you, we've been knocking on the door for a long time, why don't you say a word."

Wei Ru put away the letter, rubbed his face, forced a smile, and said, "Come in!"

The brothers and sisters filed in, and Wei Ru's eyebrows jumped twice: "It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

The three brothers and sisters all turned to look at Wei Zhao.

Wei Zhao put the box on Wei Ru's case with a sullen face.

Wei Ru glanced at Wei Zhao suspiciously: "Today is your grandmother's birthday, don't be so polite, why don't you give dad a present?"

Wei Zhao raised his chin to signal Wei Ru to open it, and Wei Xuan and the other three also looked over curiously.

Seeing a fan in the box, the bright red plum petals on the fan are always a little strange to look at in the middle of the night for some reason.

Wei Ru picked up the fan, touched the handle and felt that the texture was like animal bones.Touching the fan again, my heart skipped a beat.He touched the plum petals again, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and his face sank immediately.

Seeing this, the brothers and sisters felt a little uneasy.

"Father, is there something wrong with this fan?" Wei Xuan asked cautiously.

Wei Ru asked Wei Zhao, "Where did this come from?"

"Father, do you still remember the young man at today's banquet who specially came out to present gifts?"

Wei Ru's pupils shrank.

Wei Shuhua was in a hurry: "Azhao, what are you doing in charades, tell me what's going on?"

Wei Zhao pointed to the fan in Wei Ru's hand: "The fan handle is made of human bones, the fan surface is made of human skin, and the plum blossoms are dotted with human blood."
