Chapter 41

"Grass!"

I don't know how much time passed before Catcher Zhao let out an angry curse.

"Who the hell are you, so inhuman?"

He pinched his waist and looked angry.

He roared out the roar in everyone's heart.

Everyone is wondering who is so perverted and cruel.

Song Shiyun took a deep breath and walked over.

Captor Zhao's forehead was twitching, and he was holding a breath in his chest. He was trying to get someone to cover the body quickly, so as not to frighten the noble lady here.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone walking over.

Zhao Captou's expression changed, he turned around and saw Song Shiyun.

Seeing her, Capt. Zhao said somewhat uncomfortably: "Second Miss, you'd better avoid this corpse..."

"fine."

Song Shiyun interrupted him and squatted down directly in front of the corpse.

Seeing that her expression did not change and she did not look frightened at all, Mr. Zhao choked.

The government servants around him were shivering in their clothes while looking at Song Shiyun in surprise.

I was a little suspicious in my heart, why is this noble lady so brave?
Not even afraid of this kind of corpse?
Song Shiyun squatted next to the corpse, stared at the strange eyes of everyone, and looked at the corpse carefully.

Then, Capt. Zhao saw that she stretched out her hand and wanted to touch the body.

Capt. Zhao's eyes widened, "Two..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Shiyun put his hand on the corpse.

Zhao's first words were choked in his throat.

Song Shiyun stretched out his hand on the corpse's wrist, touched it, and felt the incense ashes in one hand.

Immediately, she put the incense ash under her nose and smelled it.

The people around him almost stared out of their eyes when they saw this scene.

This is also... too scary!
Even if you are not afraid of corpses, you dare to touch and smell them!
Does this lady know that it is a corpse?
He didn't know how long he had been underwater. Although the body was not deformed, it was already horrific enough.

Normal men are afraid, but this noble lady is not afraid at all?
"What did the second sister see?"

At this moment, Xie Rugu appeared next to Song Shiyun at some unknown time.

Song Shiyun raised his head and glanced at him, without caring about anything else, he said in a deep voice: "The incense ash comes from Huangjue Temple."

Zhao Captou was dumbfounded: "Well, how can you tell this?"

Thinking of Song Shiyun's actions just now, he asked hesitantly: "Could it be because he smelled it?"

That's impossible!

Song Shiyun didn't see the surprise in Capt. Zhao's eyes. He nodded and stood up: "Yeah, I smelled it."

Capt. Zhao: “………………”

How do you smell this?

Although the incense ash has solidified, it has been soaked in water for so long and is still stained with blood and river water. I am afraid that even the fragrance cannot be smelled.

What's more, aren't the incense used in temples all the same?
It’s all the same kind of sandalwood, so what’s the taste difference?

Even though the sandalwood varieties are slightly different, the taste is not much different.

And after environmental damage, how can you smell the difference?

"I remember that the incense used in Huangjue Temple is indeed different from the incense used in other places." At this time, Xie Rugu spoke slowly, "The incense used in Huangjue Temple is red blood sandalwood, which comes from the Western Regions. The output is very small, Huangjue Temple is a royal temple, so the red blood sandalwood is exclusively used by Huangjue Temple."

Song Shiyun took over and said, "Moreover, it is only used for performing rituals for the royal family. Red blood sandalwood will not be used for ordinary incense."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu curled his lips and said, "Well, the second sister knows these things very well."

Song Shiyun turned his head and looked at Xie Rugu's smiling eyes. He could feel the inquiry in Xie Rugu's eyes.

Seeing her looking over, Xie Rugu raised his eyebrows and smiled, as if he felt like he could see through everything.

Song Shiyun pursed his lips, but said nothing more.

"no……"

Capt. Zhao felt that he should not speak at this time.

The atmosphere here is a bit strange.

But he still had the courage to say: "Second Miss, Prince, how did you two tell that this is red blood sandalwood?"

"Second sister, please explain?"

When Xie Rugu heard this, he looked at Song Shiyun and raised his eyebrows, which was very meaningful.

Song Shiyun pressed down the corners of his lips, but still said: "Red blood sandalwood, the ashes of the incense are dark red, and there is a faint smell of blood, but after burning, the smell of blood will become lighter, and most people will not easily understand it. You may notice it, but if you are used to seeing the smell of blood, you will naturally feel something different. And if you look carefully, the incense ash is still glowing with a faint red color?" Upon hearing this, Capt. Zhao leaned over, his eyes widened, and his eye sockets were a little sore.

But looking at it this way, he could really tell that the incense ash was glowing with a faint red color.

This is not a normal red, like a layer of gray on the surface and a layer of red underneath.

The gray on top almost completely covers the red below.

If you didn't open your eyes wide and stare carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell the existence of the red color at all.

"Really..."

Capt. Zhao looked surprised, "It's really red. Is it really red blood sandalwood?"

Before he finished speaking, Capt. Zhao felt strange again.

"That's not right. As the second lady and the prince said, red blood sandalwood is the sandalwood used exclusively by Huangjue Temple for royal rituals. So why do the incense ashes appear here?"

The temple does not clean up the incense ashes all day long, and Huangjue Temple probably does not use red blood sandalwood a few times throughout the year.

Even if it is used, it will not be cleaned every time, and it will usually accumulate in the incense burner.

It’s not a bad thing to have a lot of incense ash accumulated.

Then, why do so many incense ash appear here?
Even if Huangjue Temple wants to deal with the accumulated incense ash, it will definitely handle it specially and will not throw it away easily or anything like that.

Zhao Captou suddenly had a bad premonition.

Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu heard the words, but did not speak immediately.

When Capt. Zhao was about to ask again, another scream suddenly sounded from the river.

"Oh my God! Capture, arrest the head, something big happened!"

Song Shiyun, Xie Rugu and Zhao Baotou, like everyone else, all looked at the river.

Then I saw two government officials walking to the river bank, their faces full of fear.

The two of them were the government officials who had just been left down there to look for other bodies.

Never came up.

The two of them were now rushing to the shore, swallowing hard.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Capt. Zhao's heart sank, and he quickly walked to the shore and asked, "What's going on down there?"

The government officer trembled and pointed to the river: "Following the river, there are still a few corpses..."

Capt. Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, "How many more corpses are there? How many are they?"

Another yamen servant swallowed his saliva and shook his head: "No, I don't know... very, a lot, no less than ten..."

As soon as these words came out, all four were shocked.

Grandpa!

There are no less than a dozen corpses. What the hell is this?

This is too scary, isn't it?
This river surrounds Huangjue Mountain and stretches for a long time, but...

A dozen corpses were buried in a river...

If they were all corpses that had been tortured like this...

That was too scary.

Everyone couldn't help shivering.

Song Shiyun also frowned, stepped over and asked, "When can it be salvaged?"

The two government officials were stunned.

Capt. Zhao reacted very quickly: "Yes, fish out the body first!"

The two government officials said in unison: "Well, we need more people to help!"

Capt. Zhao made a quick decision, "Come here, go back to Fuyin and tell him that there is a big case in Beijing. Please send more people to Fuyin!"

When the other government officials heard this, they immediately agreed.

Immediately afterwards, a man quickly got on his horse and ran towards the city.

Seeing this, Capt. Zhao said to the remaining people, "You guys go down first and see if you can salvage a few, just salvage a few! In addition, check the upper and lower reaches of the river to see if there are any others." Corpse!"

Many government officials responded with a yes.

The river suddenly became lively.

Song Shiyun glanced at them and suddenly walked upstream.

Seeing this, Song Shirou suppressed the turmoil in her stomach and shouted hoarsely: "Second sister, where are you going..."

"Second sister must have something important to deal with. Third lady, don't worry. I'll just follow you and take a look."

Before Song Shiyun could answer, Xie Rugu turned around, smiled faintly at Song Shirou, and immediately followed Song Shiyun and left.
