Chapter 535: Evil Thing or Evil Thing?
There was little news about Shao Wanru's life in the mountain. He didn't know that there was a turmoil outside because of this case. He only saw some personnel from the Criminal Department starting to withdraw, as if they were conducting inventory and self-examination.
Things in Yuhui'an actually relaxed, as if this matter was settled, but it is obvious that this matter has not been settled yet. No one knows who sent those men in black. There are vague rumors that they are The remnants of the previous dynasty, decades after the founding of Dongcang, there are still descendants of the previous royal family.
With such a news coming, the matter of the men in black can be easily solved. The previous dynasty caused chaos a few years ago. There is no evidence for the current incident, so it must be a remnant of the previous dynasty.
The madam sent over twenty women, saying they were looking for the previous offerings.
The Buddhist temple was burned down, and the wife hurriedly went down the mountain. After that, people from the Ministry of Punishment came in to investigate the case. No one had the intention to pay attention to the affairs of the Buddhist temple. Only the nuns from Yuhui Temple came to clean up from time to time, but there were not many people there, and A few women have only cleaned up half of the Buddhist temple.
With the presence of these twenty or so rough ladies from the Xingguo Palace, the speed suddenly accelerated a lot. Moreover, these women were not here to help clean everything, but only cleaned the part in the middle of the Buddhist hall where the confessions were placed. .
"I found it, I found it, look, this is the second lady's silver bracelet!" A woman said, wiping the sweat off her head. She wiped a pair of silver bracelets and walked towards the pavilion.
Shao Wanru and Shao Yanru were both guarding the pavilion. The Tai Madam specially asked them to supervise these twenty or so women who were rough messengers. The purpose was to find a few pairs of silver bracelets that had been buried deep in the Buddhist temple.
There were also people from the Ministry of Punishment in Yuhui Temple, and they were both wearing veils and sitting in the pavilion.
The word "Jie" is engraved on the corner of the silver bracelet, which is indeed Shao Jie'er's bracelet.
After Shao Yanru read it, she nodded and asked her mother-in-law to show it to Shao Wanru. Shao Wanru had already seen the word "clean" and nodded immediately.
Seeing that the two ladies had authenticated it, another woman beside her took it and wiped it with a clean towel. Even though the silver bracelet had been for a long time, it was still very bright after being wiped, as if it were new.
After a while, another pair was found, this time it was Shao Hua'an's, then Shao Yuanhao's, and Shao Yanru's own. Pairs of silver bracelets were brought over and wiped clean. They all looked like new, and They looked exactly the same, which was very eye-catching. The nuns who were tidying up other parts of the temple had already seen the silver bracelets here, and some of them looked at them curiously.
Then it fell on two young ladies wearing veils. Since they were wearing veils, it was not clear who was who, but no matter which one they were, they were said to be beautiful and charming.
"Ah, what is this!" A woman suddenly screamed. Such a loud and frightening voice immediately attracted everyone's attention. The two women nearby looked down at the ground. The ground was dark. The squirming things frightened them so much that they took a few steps back and screamed in surprise.
"There's... there's... something."
The sound was louder, attracting everyone else to look over. Some who couldn't see clearly ran over to take a look. When they could clearly see the two ring-shaped things on the ground, which were still moving, they all screamed in surprise. Scattered around.
Some of the nuns got up in panic and ran away, their faces all pale.
Because of fear, some people shouted loudly: "There are... evildoers!" When they shouted, the people from the Criminal Department who were staying here were also attracted.
"Why go back? Go ask, what are you yelling about?" Shao Yanru said displeased.
Shuqi got the order and ran out. While scolding the mother-in-law, he went up to take a closer look. When he could see clearly, he took two steps back in shock, stepped on the air, and fell directly to the ground. Then he quickly stood up with his hands. Run towards the pavilion.
"Miss... I dug up two unknown things. They were dark and still moving. They looked like... many little bugs. It makes me want to vomit!"
Shuqi rushed over, his face pale, and he was clearly frightened. Fortunately, he answered clearly.
Shao Wanru's eyes looked at Shao Yanru's face calmly under the veil, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Shao Yanru's shrewdness was indeed different from others. Did he encourage the madam to attack him?
No matter whether this thing succeeds or not, it will not harm her, she just needs to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!
Sure enough, the most sinister one was Shao Yanru. This was how I was tricked to death by her in my previous life!
"Fifth sister, let's go take a look!" Shao Yanru was also looking at Shao Wanru. Both of them were wearing veils and hats. No one could see clearly the expression on whose face. She had a bit of pride on her face, but she spoke very eloquently. Wen Ya seemed to be completely unaware.
"This...it's better not to let it go. There are officials from the Ministry of Justice coming over there. If it's something bad, let them take a look!"
Shao Wanru shook his head, reached for the fan in his hand and pointed at the door of the Moon Cave in front of him.
The horrifying screams of such a large group of people had already alerted the people from the Criminal Department. A large group of people from the Criminal Department came over, and the leader was actually an acquaintance, Wen Xichi.
This surprised Shao Wanru. She originally thought that she had repaid her kindness in the previous life, and the two of them would never have a chance to meet again. Unexpectedly, they met again here. She put down her fan and looked at her watery eyes. His thoughts fell on Wen Xichi, and then he slowly looked at the people he brought.
He has brought a lot of people, which shows that he is doing well in the Ministry of Punishment now. In his last life, Wen Xichi was already on the sick bed at this time. In this life, he has escaped the disaster of the previous life, and his future is indeed bright.
"Go and see what they are?" Wen Xichi's eyes also fell on the two round rings. He couldn't see clearly what they were, but it was true that there were some tiny black insects crawling on them. They looked like ants. .
Someone came over, picked up one of the rings with a branch, picked it up, looked at it, and reported: "Master Wen, there is a large ant attached to it."
The black circle above was full of ants, and because they were all alive, they looked like dark, squirming things to people's eyes. They were extremely disgusting, and that's why they made such a big noise.
"Master Wen, can someone help take care of the ants above?" Shuqi got Shao Yanru's order and ran down. She is Shao Yanru's maid, so she naturally knows Wen Xichi.
"Help clean up the ants above." Wen Xichi nodded and ordered the people brought there. The people brought by Xingguo Gongfu and the people from Yuhui'an were both women. They were extremely scared to see such ants grouped together. , the people in the Punishment Department have seen something more penetrating, so naturally they will not be frightened by a few ants.
Several people had already gone over, picked it up with branches, and then threw it into the pool on one side. Immediately, a layer of black ants spread out on the water. Although the women watching the fun were old, they didn't After seeing this disgusting scene, everyone turned pale with shock, squinting their eyes and not daring to look at this layer of black ants.
How many ants are needed to make the surface of the water look like this? What is down here? Why are such disgusting ants surrounding it? They didn't see such ants on other things when they were digging. , why did these two circles suddenly appear?
"Master Wen, our lady would like to ask you to come over and have a chat!" Shuqi thanked him and then saluted Wen Xichi.
Wen Xichi turned around and walked towards the pavilion. When they arrived at the pavilion, Shao Yanru and Shao Wanru had already stood up. When they saw him coming, they both saluted him.
"Master Wen, please take a seat!" Shao Yanru and Wen Xichi were old acquaintances, so she naturally spoke, pointing to the stone bench on one side with a smile.
Shao Wanru remained silent.
"Miss Shao, Fifth Miss!" Wen Xichi smiled slightly, entered the pavilion generously, and sat down on the stone bench between the two of them. Shuqi hurriedly poured him a cup of tea, and then retreated smartly. Behind Shao Yanru.
Yujie raised her head and looked at her young lady, then she looked as if she didn't recognize her and stood neatly behind Shao Wanru.
"Master Wen San, does he know what he just said?" Shao Yanru also sat down and asked softly.
Wen Xichi glanced at the pairs of shiny silver bracelets on the table. If he couldn't guess anything before, he immediately understood, "It should be a pair of bracelets too!"
Shao Wanru lowered her head and sat quietly. She only flapped the fan in her hand a few times, but did not speak or respond, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
As a young girl, she should be the main one for Shao Yanru, not to mention that Shao Yanru and Wen Xichi were old acquaintances.
"Bracelet? How could it be possible? Bracelets are said to ward off evil spirits. Besides, these pairs are also buried there. Nothing happened. Only that pair did?" Shao Yanru asked in surprise, putting down the fan in his hand. He reached out to touch the pairs of polished bracelets.
"Miss, please don't touch it yet. You might have hit something evil!" Shuqi was startled, and he reached out to stop her, urging him at the same time.
Shao Wanru turned his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his lips slightly. It turned out that he was waiting for him here!
In fact, my grandmother had been doubting this since she found out the smell on the longevity lock.
Shao Yanru seemed to be frightened, and she slowly withdrew her hand, her voice a little embarrassed, "How could it be some evil thing? Maybe the ants had nowhere to go, and they accidentally gathered in a group!"
"It's impossible for ants to gather in one place by accident. There must be a reason." Wen Xichi opened his mouth to deny her statement. The corner of his eyes glanced at Shao Wanru, who was sitting aside and just waving the fan in his hand. There was a faint flash in his eyes. With a gentle smile, she was pretending to be unfamiliar with her. It looked like she had grown into a big girl compared to two years ago!
"Miss, please listen to Mr. Wen San and don't move for now. This is Yuhui Nunnery. If anything evil or evil happens, it will be dealt with by the masters in the nunnery. You must not act in vain, otherwise If something really happened, this slave will bear the blame forever!" Shuqi seemed frightened and stood in front of Shao Yanru's sleeve, refusing to let her reach out.
Evil things, evil things? Under the thin long gauze, the smile on the corners of the bright red lips is charming and sinister.
