Crossing the Extreme Rampage

Qing built a small courtyard.

In the courtyard, Lan Mingyu's bodyguard Liu Yu sent a letter to Tang Yuanming, and handed it respectfully, "Genius doctor, Your Majesty wants you to write it personally."

Tang Yuanming opened the letter with doubts, and was shocked after reading it, "The family of the midwife died in the massacre in Yuzhang County, how could this be?"

Liu Yu said with no ups and downs in his voice, "Genius doctor, your lord said that he is going to visit Yuzhang County on the spot, and I hope you will go with him."

Tang Yuanming agreed without saying a word, "When will your lord leave?"

"When I came, your lord was leaving the palace, and should be in the center of the city by now."

"Then let's go to the gate of the city to meet your lord."

"it is good."

……

When Tang Yuanming, Xu Zhengfeng, and Liu Yu arrived at the gate of the city, Lan Mingyu was already waiting there with a pair of men and horses.

Lan Mingyu wore a moon-white brocade robe, her face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, with an indistinguishable beauty, her face was expressionless at the moment, and she exuded a powerful aura.

The person following should be a guard, dressed in black clothes as before, with awe-inspiring aura.

The three saluted, "Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, lead the horse to the genius doctor and Young Master Xu."

"Yes." The guard at the side led two horses over, one for Tang Yuanming and one for Xu Zhengfeng, "Please get on the horse."

Tang Yuanming nodded, "OK."

After the two got on their horses, they headed for Yuzhang County under the leadership of Lan Mingyu.

……

Inkstones are produced in Yuzhang County, and the best inkstones in the entire Wei Dynasty come from this small county, which is a relatively cultural place.

In the county town, there are mostly literati, and most of them have a gentle personality. If there are any major or important cases, there are almost never any major cases in the county town.

That's why the recent massacre of family extermination shocked the whole county and made people panic.

Riding a fast horse, it took two hours to reach Yuzhang County.

After entering the county seat, Lan Mingyu went directly to the county government office to find the county magistrate.

When the county magistrate learned that your lord was coming, when he came out to greet him, he was so panicked that he put his hat on backwards.

Lan Mingyu frowned slightly, "Take us to the scene." His deep voice was undeniably tough.

The county magistrate is in his 40s, with a very typical appearance of a Zhima official, panicking, "My lord, the scene is too horrible to look at, it's a mess, I'm afraid it will spoil your eyes, your lord should not go."

Lan Mingyu emphasized his tone, "Bengong said to take us to the scene immediately." Anyone who knew him well knew that he was already angry.

Under Lan Mingyu's powerful aura, the magistrate trembled three times in fright, and immediately led the way, "Your Majesty, please."

On the way, the master next to him tugged on the sleeve of the magistrate, and whispered, "Master, your official hat is on the wrong side."

The magistrate wailed in his heart, if the noble gentleman went back and told the emperor, wouldn't he think he was a foolish official, so he quickly turned his official hat around and put it on straight, secretly complaining that the master didn't find something to remind him.

The midwife's family lived deep in the house, and they walked along the alley of the house for a while before arriving.

The surrounding neighbors are very sparse, and there are bamboo forests and big trees for shelter.

There is a high wall next to it, and you can never see the inside if you stand outside the wall.

Coming from a very good place in the capital city to live in such a place, if you don't know the reason, it would be too strange, but now I feel that it should be taken for granted. In order to save my life, it is good to be alive, but in the end I died.

There is an entrance and exit door on the wall on the left. There is a bloody handprint on the threshold, and it is a small courtyard to enter.

There were also two puddles of blood in the small courtyard. The grape trellises that had been set up, the stone tables and benches were overturned in a mess, which must have been violently damaged.

Entering through the gate, the house is spacious and bright, and the furnishings are very luxurious. It looks like a place where rich people live.

But now, the furnishings in the main room are messy, with blood stains on them, and traces of being cut by knives. There are also several puddles of blood on the ground, and there are several blood palm prints on the wall. There are traces of five fingers extending down. He threw himself against the wall, and then his hand slowly slid down.

There should have been a fight here, or a unilateral massacre.

Looking at the rooms again, the same is true. The mattresses in several rooms are covered with blood. They must have been stabbed to death in their sleep, and the main artery happened to be severed, otherwise there would not be so much blood.

There were more than a dozen members of the midwife's family, the old, the young, and the young, all of whom were killed.

Tang Yuanming stood outside the crowd and recited a mantra silently. These people died indirectly because of him, and their debts were eliminated. I hope they will not do bad things in their next life, cause and effect cycle, do bad things, commit sins, and they will always have to pay back. .

Seeing Lan Mingyu walking in front of Tang Yuanming, "Genius doctor, is this an evil ghost's death or man-made?"

Tang Yuanming looked around and said, "The midwife didn't kill anyone, so how can there be any evil spirits?"

"Go back to the Yamen and go to the mortuary to see those who were killed." He still needs to confirm whether it is the midwife.

Seeing that Lan Mingyu didn't ask him any questions, the magistrate of the county was so happy that he was about to cry. The evil ghost is taking his life. With his ability, he can't catch the real culprit no matter what. "My lord, this way please."

Tang Yuanming grabbed Xu Zhengfeng and followed Lan Mingyu, and they left together. Apart from the homicide, there was nothing special about this house.

……

The mortuary had never parked so many corpses. The original space was not enough, and two were added.

Tang Yuanming stood at the door of the mortuary, opened his yin and yang eyes, looked around, and really found... a thin layer of long-cherished air lingers around the midwife.

The spirit of long-cherished wishes is formed by the deceased who had great regrets or unfulfilled wishes in front of him due to strong unwillingness after his sudden death.

He hurriedly walked to the midwife, and tore off the white cloth covering her body, her face was pale, her neck was slashed severely by a sharp weapon, and the bones were clearly visible.

"Your Majesty, come and see this person, is it her?"

Lan Mingyu was about to ask someone to take him to see the midwife, but Tang Yuanming went there first, "What did you find?"

Tang Yuanming saw so many people in the mortuary, he didn't say directly, "My lord, first check to see if it's her, and then I'll explain to you."

After looking carefully for a while, Lan Mingyu said with certainty, "It's her. This face was much younger more than ten years ago. The mole under her left eye, she told me it was a mole of fortune, I remember it very clearly. .”

Tang Yuanming lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, please turn away from the left and right, I have something to say."

Lan Mingyu didn't hesitate at all, turned around, "Liu Yu, tell everyone to wait outside the mortuary, no one is allowed to come near."

"Yes, sir."

"Please speak, the divine doctor."

"This midwife had major regrets or unfulfilled wishes during her lifetime. I guess it has something to do with the prince. Maybe she will leave some clues."

Lan Mingyu's heart moved, "How to say?"

Tang Yuanming analyzed unhurriedly, "My idea is this. After the midwife brought the child home, she didn't kill him, but moved. It shows that she is not willing to kill the child."

"From the scene of the mortuary, there is no child around the age of 12, so the midwife should have sent him away. The child she sent away must know where it is."

"In addition, she is afraid of the day when Dong Chuang's incident will happen, and she is even more afraid of the day when she will be wiped out now."

"And the midwife has been working in the palace for many years. She is definitely not a fool. She should leave behind. If something happens and she hands over the child, even if she has to die, at least her family can be preserved."

"If there is a situation where the family is wiped out, she will not be afraid of anything. She will definitely tell us the real murderer behind the scenes and avenge her family."

Lan Mingyu was thoughtful, "You mean that the midwife probably left a message to tell us the location of the child and the real murderer behind the scenes?"

"Yes, that's what I meant."

"But now the midwife died suddenly, even if she leaves a message, who knows where she is?"

Who knows such a difficult question, but Tang Yuanming said very uncertainly, "For a person who is facing death at any time, if he wants to leave a message for others, he will definitely put it close to her or put it in a place where she can touch it at any time. .”

Next to him, Xu Zhengfeng and Lan Mingyu looked at him in surprise. How did they come to this conclusion?

Lan Mingyu couldn't refute, and asked, "As you said, where would the midwife put the information?"

"Her room or on her."

Xu Zhengfeng and Lan Mingyu glanced at the midwife, but there was nothing.

Tang Yuanming suggested, "Your Majesty, send someone to look for the midwife's room. You need to be careful."

"it is good."

"As for the midwife, let the magistrate find a braver woman to search her body."

Lan Mingyu trusted Tang Yuanming very much, "I'll explain it right away."

Tang Yuanming nodded.

The three of them walked out together, and it was a bit intrusive inside.

Xu Zhengfeng dragged Tang Yuanming to a corner where no one was around.

Tang Yuanming looked at him with worry in his eyes, "What's wrong with Zhengfeng?"

"Can you find a clue today?"

Tang Yuanming shook his head, "Not sure, what's wrong?"

Xu Zhengfeng's low voice was full of worry, "Yuan Ming, do you think this is easy?"

Tang Yuanming somewhat understood Xu Zhengfeng's meaning, "It's not easy, but I found out that the prince is still alive, and we couldn't be alone from the very beginning."

"Yuan Ming, that's not what I meant. What I mean is that the people behind the scenes dare to touch your lord's children. Your lord is the emperor's darling. If you directly oppose the emperor, you can imagine how powerful he is. In addition, I What I want to say is that we are here to investigate the case, will that person be watching in secret?"

"You mean, there are people behind the scene?"

Xu Zhengfeng quickly glanced at everyone, nodded, "I can't rule out this possibility, and there are disguises in this world, so we have to guard against them."

Tang Yuanming felt that what Xu Zhengfeng said was very reasonable, "I now hope that your lord's people can find the clues left by the midwife sooner."

Xu Zhengfeng stared at him, "Are you so sure that the midwife must have left clues?"

Tang Yuanming said with certainty, "Yes, her spirit of long-cherished wishes makes me feel that she must have left something behind."

Xu Zhengfeng lowered his head, "What could that be?"

"Why don't we go and see for ourselves, anyway, there's nothing wrong here."

"also."

"Come on, let's go talk to your gentleman and go."

"it is good."

After Lan Mingyu heard about it, he directly decided to go with the two of them. He actually didn't like to wait for news, unless he really couldn't do it himself.
