The beauty of the lady

Chapter 338 The Prince Goes North (5)
For the remaining two days, except for eating on the first floor, they spent most of their time in the room. It was not until the morning of the fifth day that the merchant ship stopped at the wharf of Yingzhou Prefecture, and they packed their luggage and went down.

"How many brothers are disembarking here?" A young man who was traveling with him stopped and asked with a smile when he passed them.

"Yes, there is an old acquaintance of my father here, so I came here specially to pay a visit." Ji Heng laughed.

"Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye first."

"Brother, go slowly."

Walking up the pier, passing the bustling crowd and some fishmongers with a slightly fishy smell, they saw two carriages at the end of the road.

"Second Young Master." When the visitor saw Ji Heng, he quickly responded respectfully.

Ji Heng told them that there is the Xianke residence of the Ji family here, and that they can just rest in the other courtyard when they are here, and Ye Xuan has no objection. The purpose is fine.

The other courtyard is located in the back alley of Xiankeju. It is a courtyard with three blocks and three entrances. Because Ji Heng is coming, the rooms have already been packed for them, and they all live in the same courtyard. Afterwards, they will meet in the front hall. The head of the other hospital.

"Second young master, you haven't come for many years." Now the Ji family has the second young master. A rank official, but one who can enter the eyes of the emperor, even a rank seven Zhima official, must be respected by others.

"Director Xu, is the business in Yingzhou Mansion doing well?"

"Of course it's good, everything has delayed the second young master's blessing."

Ji Heng nodded, and then asked directly: "Mr. Xu also knows about the murder that happened in Yingzhou Mansion? About 2000 people in five villages were massacred overnight?"

As soon as he said this, Manager Xu's face changed, "Second Young Master, you are not an imperial envoy sent by the emperor, are you? Then you have to be very careful. This matter has caused a lot of trouble in Yingzhou Mansion. My head was about to explode. I heard from the head of the government office who came to eat, that the smell of blood and evil spirits soared into the sky as soon as I entered those villages. Everyone was killed with a knife, and their throats were cut to death. The worst thing is that there are still pregnant women who were stabbed in the stomach after death, ouch, I have never seen it before, but just listening to it makes my whole body chill, the second young master must be very careful."

"Has the government taken any measures?" Ji Heng asked, frowning.

"Why not? It's been half a month since the accident. The case has not been investigated clearly, and no one can be buried. The weather is so hot that it smells terrible when you get closer. The corpse has already rotted away. The prefect took those The ones that rotted quickly were buried on the spot by the officials on the nearby mountain. The dead ones were clean and there were no survivors. Even if they wanted to set up a grave, they didn’t know their names. I started to move out, I am afraid that the next one will be their village, now the whole Yingzhou Mansion is very nervous."

"Are we going to take a look?" Ji Heng looked at Ye Que and Ye Zhen.

Ye Kuang nodded and murmured: "Naturally, we have to go through it. There must be clues in such a large-scale massacre. If I don't take a look, I can't draw a conclusion."

"In that case, let's take a day off today and go to the murder scene tomorrow morning."

Mr. Xu's forehead was sweating when he heard this, and he was so frightened that he wished he could tie up his young master at home and not let him go.

His father used to be with the old man of the Ji family. He also grew up in the Ji family. He was there when the second young master was born. He didn't come to take over until the management of Yingzhou Mansion died a few years ago. He has feelings for the second young master. Naturally, it is unusual. Although the Ji family is now almost headed by the eldest young master, the status of the second young master is equivalent to the patron saint of the Ji family. If something happens to this great god here, what will he do?

"Second Young Master, are you really going?" He followed to Ji Heng's room and asked worriedly.

Ji Heng laughed, looked at him and said, "Uncle Xu, I have obeyed the emperor's order, and nothing will happen."

He said so, what else can he do?That was the emperor's order.

"The second young master must be careful. People who die unjustly have the most evil spirits, not to mention nearly 2000 people died at once. If the second young master wants to go, he should wait for the sun at noon when the sun is strongest, otherwise the old slave will die Also stop the second young master."

Ji Heng Yangtian sighed, then nodded with his back turned to him, and Manager Xu left in peace.

But still guarding the gate of the other courtyard, for fear that his second master would not listen.

The next day, the three of them had a good rest and had breakfast before going to the village where the murder happened. This time, Mr. Xu didn't stop him. Instead, he sat on the shaft of the car, apparently intending to go there with them.

Ji Heng looked at Ye Zhen and asked, "Your Highness, that place smells very bloody. When you arrive, you can wait outside. Wuchen and I can go in and have a look."

Ye Zhen shook his head, looked at Ji Heng and said: "The Tai Tuo taught me that you don't talk about strange powers, and since it's man-made, I'm not afraid of blood."

Ji Heng wanted to say something else, and watched Ye Que take out a white jade porcelain bottle from his arms, filled with a white pill in it, handed it to Ye Zhen and said, "Take it, Qingliang Pill, it can make you feel better." You stay awake."

"Thank you, cousin." Ye Cheng took it and swallowed it in one gulp.

Ji Heng looked at Ye Que, meaning that he wanted to eat one too. Ye Que looked into his eyes, shook his head and smiled and handed him one.

Putting it in his mouth, Ji Heng felt refreshed all over his body, and after swallowing it, he found that his eyes seemed to be clear, and he couldn't help saying: "Good medicine."

Ye Que chuckled: "It's just a refreshing pill, with mint in it."

This kind of pill can dispel the dryness and heat a little in summer, but it is not suitable to take too much. Occasionally taking it will not have any effect on the body, and if it is taken too much, it will have side effects.

From Yingzhou Mansion to the village where the incident happened, it took nearly two hours to take a carriage, but there seemed to be not many people on the street at this time. It stands to reason that if it is normal, no matter how hot it is, the street will be full of traffic. See This incident has really had an impact on the common people. Could it be that their purpose is here?Ji Heng thought about it and talked to Ye Que.

Ye Que shook his head and said, "I haven't seen the body yet, so I can't make a judgment."

Afterwards, Ji Heng felt that it was too early for him to draw a conclusion, and then he kept thinking about the matter and did not speak.

After a long time, Director Xu's voice came in from outside: "Second Young Master, we are here."

Ye Que got up and lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the road outside that still led to the inside, and asked, "Where is the village?"

Mr. Xu said: "It's two miles ahead, but there are officials guarding the front, our cars and horses can't get in, and it was blocked after the accident."

Ye Kuang nodded, and said, "Go ahead." After speaking, he lowered the car curtain.
