Chapter 58 Bloody Case

###058 Murderous Case

The eyes are dark, and the liver and spleen are rotten.

The soul suddenly flew away, and the lonely goose hummed.

Climbing out of the city gate of Sui'an Prefecture, you will see Wangyou Lake in the direction of the eastern suburbs.The full moon was very low, and it was difficult to tell whether the water in Wangyou Lake was higher than usual or whether the moon only rose to the surface of the lake and then refused to climb higher.

The surface of the lake is like blood, and the moon is like a mirror.What people standing by the lake see are these red wax tears, the scene of heaven and earth weeping.Ze Yu tried hard to control the ups and downs of his shoulders to make himself look normal.But in her heart, she was thinking about the plants and trees under the water, and the people under the water.

The lake is like this, and I don’t know what’s going on underwater.

Seeing his wife staring at the lake without saying a word, Xiao Yu gently hugged her shoulders and brought her close to him.

Before closing the city, Prince Yan's Mansion evacuated all soldiers.These soldiers are gathering next to Wangyou Lake at the moment. They have thirty chariots and crossbowmen and spearmen standing with weapons. They form seven square formations, large and small, thin, medium and thick. With drums and flags behind them, it is easy to attack and defend; there are two formations at the rear. Soldiers, wearing light armor, can change their formation at any time.

The general is in front, majestic and handsome, with hair like a knife and eyebrows like ink.This person is none other than the young prince of Prince Yan’s Mansion—Qin Yan.He also has another identity, the number one sect in the world - the master of Shangwu sect.

This person rarely shows up. Everyone in the world respects the Shangwu Sect, but few people know that the leader of the Shangwu Sect is actually a young prince with a tall figure, outstanding martial arts skills, and a huge wealth.

Anyone would be envious of such a life experience.When Nightingale saw Qin Yan, the scar on her face hurt deeply.

Over the years, he has concentrated on Jing Wanglou's affairs, and this scar has almost faded away.

At this moment, it was like a ghost figure coming from behind in the middle of the night, stretching out its poison-tempered nails, gouging out his face.

Finally, even though she was as strong as a nightingale, it was no longer unbearable. She covered her cheeks, feeling extremely embarrassed.

As soon as his fingertips touched the scar, he felt even more regretful and ashamed. He suddenly felt weak in his lower limbs, and it was extremely difficult to stand firm.

Even though he was in such a sorry state, Nightingale was still a Nightingale after all. His keen sense of smell had noticed something strange around him, and he had noticed the whispering sound passing through the sound of war drums.

Ye Xiaolou naturally heard it.

"He's here." Ye Xiaolou stood there, motionless.

Nightingale felt even more ashamed when she thought that just stabilizing her body had already used up most of her energy.

Looking at Ye Xiaolou again, with the mirror moon behind him, he is as stable and calm as a mountain peak or an ancient tree.And today's full moon was when he was most vulnerable.

Over the years, Nightingale has become accustomed to being more cautious than usual when speaking or doing things on a full moon day, lest Ye Xiaolou's breath becomes unstable and he does something terrible.

And all the things he committed with his own hands became wounds that he could not erase and pain that could not be covered up, torturing this man day and night.

This young man who once made people fear him.

Of course, everything is just a legend. Regarding Ye Xiaolou, no one knows his past. Even Ye Qing, who grew up in Jingxianglou, doesn't know whether those rumors are true or false.Every time Ye Qing thinks about the past, she will pick up a pot of the best wine in Liuxiang, and drink it up like drinking water.

Let the wine drip on the skirt of his clothes, his eyes are red, and he hesitates to speak; or he lifts a pot of wine in the air, but he still doesn't say what he wants to say.

His eyes were as red as pear blossoms soaked in spring rain, overflowing with water.

The most terrifying rumor is that when Ye Xiaolou took over Jingxianglou, he killed 31 families in the Taihu Lake area overnight.No matter old or young, all will die.

Several months later, local authorities discovered that these 31 families had died on the same night.

There are as many stars in the sky as there are ways to kill people in the world.Stars have depths, depths, and distances, but the methods of killing people can only be divided into useful and useless.

But for some people, killing is as solemn and elegant as stars hanging over the moon.The way these 31 families died was like an emperor's heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

There are nine fields in the sky, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine corners, and the earth is five hundred million miles away; there are five stars, eight winds, 99 constellations, five sense organs, six mansions, purple palace, Taiwei, Xuanyuan, Xianchi, Sishou, and Tian'a.

The east is wood, and the color of the wood is green, so it is called the sky, with its star room, heart, and tail; the northeast is the season of water, where the yang energy ends and the yin energy begins, and everything grows, so it is called the changing sky; the north, eleven Yue, Jianzi, is the middle of the water. The color of the water is black, so it is called Xuantian; the northwest is called Youtian, and its stars are Dongbi, Kui, and Lou; the west is gold, and the color is white, and Hao is white, so it is called Haotian; the south is called Haotian. Fire, the southwest is called the end of fire, and the inflammatory energy decreases, which is Shaoyang, so the southwest is called Zhutian, and its stars are Gongxi, Shen, and Dongjing; the south, in May, Jianwu, is in the middle of fire, and fire is called Yanshang. , so it is called the scorching sky, and its stars include ghosts, willows, and seven stars; the southeast, the season of wood, is about to reach the sun, and it is purely dry, so it is called the yang sky, and its stars are Zhang, Yi, and Zhen.

These 31 households are located near Jinling, arranged in east, northeast, north, northwest, west, south, southwest and southeast.

Willow branches grow from the upper body of the deceased in the east. The wicker branches pass through the body and become entangled. Dense yellow flowers bloom among the wicker branches.

The smell of yellow flowers was strange, and it covered the body for three days before someone discovered it and reported it to the government.

There were 38 yellow flower cages in total, 38 people died, and their bodies were burned.When it was burned, the fragrance filled the city, and after the burning, the fragrance lingered for half a month.

61 people died in the south. There was a fire in the city. People carried water to put out the fire, but the fire became bigger and bigger. The fire ignited the water of Taihu Lake in the distance.Seeing that it was out of control and had burned across two streets, suddenly it rained heavily, and in an instant the fire turned into a black and dead silence.

A few days later, when the government investigated the identities of the deceased, they found that 61 people came from nine families. There were no other deceased people outside these nine families, and no one from these nine families survived.

At this point in the investigation, the officer handling the case was so frightened that he took half a month's leave without telling his family, and went to Jinling City. He went around and entrusted a few friends who were barely close friends, and scattered a lot of money before entering the Lin Mansion.

After finishing talking about this disaster, he stayed in Lin Mansion for a few more days before returning home.

The next month, news of Xu Shi's strange happenings reached Luzhou, and the locals linked the strange happenings in their city to these two bizarre deaths.

Baihuajing Lane is the busiest alley in Luzhou City. One night, a group of people rushed to the street as if they had agreed upon it. They were so angry that they ran from one end of Baihuajing Lane to the other, cursing incessantly without knowing what they were saying. What words.Passers-by who witnessed what happened shook their heads when talking about the situation that night, "It's scary, it's so scary, haunted by ghosts, haunted by ghosts. Wherever the words were spoken, it was just the sound of howling and screaming ghosts."

The people around were so frightened that they closed their doors and windows. Fortunately, these people did not provoke their neighbors. They just ran rampant, bumping into trees and walls. When they saw the same fierce and manic people, they grabbed each other until one of them fell down and died.

No one knew who the murderer was. The government had been investigating for half a year, but they still didn't know why all these people died tragically overnight.

Finally, the government counted all the dead that night, plus the 27 people who died in the lake in Hezhou, for a total of 190 people, each from 31 families. These 31 families died completely, and no one survived.
