Chapter 240 Tang San buried his brother's disappearance
Uma only believed 50% of what they said, and certainly not everything. They had only been together for a few days.
After some in-depth understanding, Su Yining and Li Chuan returned to the inn.
As soon as I got to the third floor, I found that a few people were not there, only Leng Yi, Leng Wu and others were there.
"Where are Brother Tang and the others?" he asked doubtfully.
In order to make the acting realistic these two days, they dressed up Han Yunshen. He was sitting in a wheelchair looking out the window, giving people the illusion of being cold and lonely. He just didn't speak and was not a living dead.
"They went to buy some things and prepare to leave. How are you doing there? How is the high priest?" Leng Yi was more concerned about this issue.
Su Yining briefly told what happened to her at the City Lord's Mansion, and expressed her guess: "There must be someone behind the City Lord and the High Priest. Bing'er said before that 50% of the money was shipped here."
"I listened to their chat before and they mentioned the word "capital". I think they should be related to Nanqing. Think about it, a group of people live on the border of their home all year round and built such a city. You are the emperor.
what will you do?"
A few people thought about it for a moment. How could they allow others to snore on the side of the bed?
"Such a group of people had appeared on the northwest border of Chengtian before. A few days after the news came out, they were eradicated by the emperor's decree. They were not even given a chance to develop. The monarch of Nanqing would not be so stupid as to do this.
I don’t even understand the logic.” Leng Yi told what happened to Han Yunshen at the border.
Yes, a normal king would do this, let alone say that the outer city has become a city.
"Li Chuan, do you think Aya's poison might have been poisoned by someone from the capital?" Su Yi Ning thought about it and realized that there were many people who could harm her... She blocked the way.
Let me ask you who is easy to control. Of course, it is easy to control the in-law relationship, so that the branches can be connected with each other. But if there is someone else on this branch, then it must be cut off.
Uma attaches so much importance to his wife, so he will definitely not marry with other forces. The relationship network established in this way will naturally not be very strong. What if his wife and children are dead?
That must be another effect. Uma, who is the lord of a city, has become a golden bachelor. With so many capable people and strangers under him, who wouldn't want to try their best to win them over?
"What you said is not impossible. The vicious part of this medicine is that it is only effective for pregnant women. I didn't elaborate on it when I was in the City Lord's Mansion. For men, this medicine is also a great tonic and can stimulate more desires in men.
, will be more ferocious during sex."
"And women will consume a lot of energy after frequent sexual intercourse, and they will continue to consume it until they die. Judging from the relationship between Uma and Aya, they must be very affectionate. Maybe they took advantage of this to administer the drug.
.”
Li Chuan carries a handbook with him, which contains some notes recorded by his master and some anecdotes: "My master had encountered such a thing back then. The man outside the hospital became a famous local wife-killer. No, he was a concubine-killer. Who
Whoever is favored will die quickly."
She would think of what happened in the study today: "Do you think Uma knows who did it? I saw his face changed when he saw the flower today."
Li Chuan said in a very sure tone: "He must know, otherwise he would not let us leave easily!"
"Where do you think the city lord's child is? It's been two or three days, and he hasn't asked us to help check it out. It's so strange." Su Yining thought this was the weirdest thing.
"It's a big deal that he died. After all, it was barely alive because his mother was pregnant with poison. It was probably to appease Aya." Li Chuan felt that it would be difficult for this child to survive.
Several people exchanged their own news with each other and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
…
There are still people busy in the dead of night.
There is a large jar placed in the high priest's courtyard, which is where he cultivates new Gu insects.
I saw a centipede about half a meter long crawling down from him. Its whole body was black and red and shiny, and its tiny feet made a "swishing" sound when it walked.
At this time, there are highly venomous snakes, spiders, toads, centipedes, scorpions and other snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. in the jar.
"No kabaha, hama kabulaji" he muttered, white smoke began to rise from the jar and a pungent smell filled the air.
Because of this smell, the patrolling servant discovered the smell. He tiptoed into the yard and found that there was only one smoking can. Just as he was about to kick it over, he felt something behind him.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a big white face with dark eyes staring straight at him, as if he was not a living person but a piece of meat.
"Great high priest...little one, ah!! Oh, save! Life~oooooo!!" His neck was pinched by the high priest's thin, black hands, and his head was forced into the jar.
The poisonous insects in the jar began to crawl in along his seven orifices...
The centipede, which was more than half a meter long, climbed quickly along the servant's calf and disappeared after a few moments.
When the servant stood up from the jar again, he had turned into a green-black complexion with only the whites of his eyes.
Because the high priest likes to study these things, Wu Ma was afraid that he would scare his wife and specially arranged the most remote courtyard for him. Unexpectedly, this would also give him an opportunity.
The disappearance of a servant is nothing at all. It is just a drop in the ocean in the huge city lord's mansion.
Soon someone discovered that the servants and maids disappeared one after another, which made people instantly feel horrified.
I don’t know when the rumor spread that Xiyuan is haunted.
Su Yining and Li Chuan came to the City Lord's Mansion every day to treat Aya. They did not take the initiative to mention seeing the child for fear of irritating her.
She was so poisoned that she had completely lost the ability to have children. When he told Uma the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, as if he had figured out something.
"It's okay. This way my Aya won't have to suffer the pain of giving birth. You don't know how worried I was on the day she gave birth. I wish I was the one inside..."
Aya was getting better day by day, but Tang San's brothers who had gone out still hadn't come back, which made everyone very worried. They searched all over the streets and alleys, but there was no trace of these people.
"Princess, they haven't come back from Tang San's burial yet..." Su Yining didn't react for a long time after hearing the news. While washing his face, he asked, "Why haven't they come back?"
Because they had been busy with the City Lord's Mansion during this period, they did not tell her the news.
"After that day, the brothers from Tang San's burial never came back, and we didn't find them...did they run away?" Xiao Jiu couldn't hide anything and spilled the beans.
"That day? That's the day I come back?" Su Yining felt that his scalp was going to explode. These people are so good!
"Yes!" Leng Yi drooped his head, not knowing what to say. This was indeed his mistake.
"Five days! I've been missing for five whole days. Don't you know how to notify me?"
"Bang" Su Yining kicked the washstand over angrily, pointed at them with her index finger and walked around, too angry to say anything.
