Chapter 174 The Murderous Maniac In recent days, there have been rumors all over Yubu City that King Junqi is about to marry a wife. The wife is not a young lady from an official family, and secondly, she is not a girl from a wealthy family.
A little girl whose name was unknown, but later there were rumors that this woman was involved with the current Taifu, and it was also rumored that she was the adopted sister of Duan Yuliu of Yuluozhuang. This time King Junqi wanted to
Go to Yuluo Village to marry his princess. Because of Prince Junqi’s marriage, the king made an exception and posted an imperial announcement to inform the world.
Qin Zhongwei didn't think about it at first. Qiao Shuang'er was going to become King Junqi's princess. Wasn't she always by Nalan Zhenqi's side? But Qin Zhongwei hadn't figured out the matter yet.
The whole story was that Jing Yirong took Qiao Shuang'er and others to move into the Tai Tu Mansion. Now Jing Yirong has become a complete Ouyang Hengxi. Except for sleeping at night, she changes into men's clothes on weekdays, just because Bu Chenying gave him
He bought Ouyang Hengxi a house and a bunch of people to serve him.
Jing Yirong looked at the majestic Taifu Mansion with its majestic architecture. Unexpectedly, the scare that day not only failed to frighten the old man Bu Chenying, but actually made him give him a house. She really didn't know what his gourd was like.
What kind of medicine is sold there?
Nalan Qingyi walked up to Jing Yirong and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking that we finally have our own place to live again," Jing Yirong hugged Nalan Qingyi naturally and looked at Nalan Zhenqi, Nalan Zhijin, Yueya and others who were flying kites in the courtyard.
Qiao Shuang'er ran over from Yuluo Village with a satisfied smile on her lips, "So happy."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Qiao Shuang'er's cry, "Ah, Nalan Zhenqi, your string has caught my kite." Jing Yirong looked up and saw Qiao Shuang'er's kite falling down.
Er glared at Nalan Zhenqi angrily, "It's all your fault!"
"Shuang'er is getting married in a few days, why do you keep coming to our house? You should go back to Yuluo Village to prepare." Nalan Zhenqi stepped forward and untied the messy threads.
Qiao Shuang'er had a nervous look on her face, "Yuluo Village has brother Yuliu ready so I don't need to take action at all, but I'm so nervous."
"What's there to be nervous about?" Nalan Zhijin also stepped forward to help solve the problem. "In the past, when Emperor Amana was a concubine, he took in many concubines at once. I don't think he is nervous at all."
Qiao Shuang'er glared at Nalan Zhijin, "Can this situation be the same? I'm not your Emperor Ama. The key is that I haven't told Bu Chenche that I like him and marry him willingly, not with him.
Brother Yu Liu married him because he grabbed some ice soul beads from Brother Hua."
"In this case, there will be plenty of opportunities to tell you why you are so anxious." Nalan Zhenqi handed the untied kite to Qiao Shuang'er, "Stop thinking so wildly that you blame my kite for blowing yours. In fact, it's not because of your half-heartedness."
Got it."
Qiao Shuang'er sighed deeply, just like what Nalan Zhenqi said. There will be many opportunities to tell Bu Chenche in the future, but why does she feel like it's too late? It's inexplicable that all brides-to-be would have this.
A feeling?
…………
At night, dark clouds covered the moonlight, and the wind blew. The Dongcheng District was quiet. The people had already entered into sweet dreams. Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the high wall and stepped into the high wall. Kicked open the door with a knife in hand. Immediately there was a wave in the house.
There was a burst of frightened shouts, "Who are you!" "What are you going to do, ah!"
After a series of screams, the black shadow dragged the bloody knife out of the house, with blood still on the corner of his mouth, and his red eyes were full of murderous intent. Then he entered another room and killed the whole house wantonly with the same knife.
people...
Originally, the entire Yubu City was filled with the joyful news that King Junqi was getting a concubine, but this morning it was overshadowed by a smell of death. The reason was that there were five families and seventeen people in a residential area in the Dongcheng District of Yubu City.
They died tragically, including children ranging from five or six years old to elderly people in their eighties. They all looked horrified, their eyes widened, and died tragically. The scene was shocking. No one in the crowd who watched did not feel miserable.
.
You say it was a vendetta, but these five families have nothing to do with each other except being neighbors. If they were hired to kill someone, who would have any grudge against these helpless people? This case is too unbelievable.
There's no way to start.
After the government finished disposing of the corpses, they began to heavily guard the place. They carefully controlled every place where the murderer could go, and also targeted some fugitive prisoners.
Jing Yirong, Yue Ya, and Xiao Yan originally accompanied Qiao Shuang'er out to buy red makeup, but they didn't encounter such a thing. The bloody corpses on the stretchers were carried away one by one, and the atmosphere on the whole street seemed dull.
Qiao Shuang'er frowned, "Who is so cruel?"
"The government should find the murderer." Yue Ya covered her eyes with her hands and couldn't look straight.
Jing Yirong glanced at the knife marks on the corpses. There were nearly dozens of knife marks on each body. If he didn't hate these people so much or he was really mentally ill, he said, "Let's go back."
On the second day, even more shocking news spread in Yubu City. Seven families in Xicheng District also committed murder and the methods were exactly the same as those in Dongcheng District. Yubu City fell into deathly silence for a while. According to the government's judgment, this was no longer a big deal.
A vendetta is about someone deliberately killing people, that is, the legendary murderer.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Ouyang Hengxi, but he received a request for help from the Yubutheng government.
"Master Taifu, the people are now panic-stricken. If the murderer is not caught, the number of casualties may be even greater." Qiu Yu, the government official of Yubut City, said with a heartbroken look.
Ouyang Hengxi looked calm, "It's a little strange what Master Qiu said. It's your government's business to catch the murderer. Why did you come to my Taifu's house? Why do you still say that Master Qiu thinks the murderer is in my Taifu's house?"
"I don't dare, but I have too few people to protect the people." Qiu Yu explained his purpose. "The Taifu is now in charge of the military. If possible, I would like to ask the Grand Tutor to send some soldiers to me. I want to
Surround the entire city of Yubu so that no matter where the murderer appears, he will not be allowed to escape, and it can also reduce the fear in the hearts of the people."
"How many soldiers do you want?"
"Five hundred." Qiu Yu whispered.
Ouyang Hengxi took out his military talisman and said, "I'll give you one thousand to catch the murderer tonight."
"I would like to thank you, Master Taifu, on behalf of the people." Qiu Yu took the military talisman in surprise. He did not expect that Master Taifu was so easy to talk to and had no official airs.
After Qiu Yu left, Nalan Qingyi walked out from the back of the hall, "I hope the murderer will be found soon, otherwise someone else will lose his life in vain."
"I have already given him a thousand soldiers. If he can't catch me again, he will be of no use." Ouyang Hengxi also had a solemn look on his face, always feeling that this matter would have something to do with their Tai Fu Mansion.
On the third day, even though there were a thousand soldiers guarding various districts of Yubu City at night, there were ten more households in the Nancheng District, and even the many soldiers guarding there were brutally killed. In a moment, the murderous maniac made the entire Yubu City
The city turned into a hell, and people were afraid that they would die in their sleep next.
Qiu Yu knelt in front of Taifu Ouyang, "I should die if I didn't catch the murderer."
"A thousand soldiers can't resist a murderous maniac. It seems that he is really not a fuel-efficient lamp." Ouyang Hengxi held the soldier talisman in his hand and his calm expression made it impossible to reveal his emotions. Qiu Yu said hurriedly: "Master Taifu.
A soldier left some clues before he died. He said that he cut the murderer's arm during the fight, so as long as we rule it out based on this, it should be effective."
"Originally, no matter how much I took care of this matter, it was not my fault, but you lent me a thousand soldiers and only paid me back more than nine hundred. I can't ignore this matter. Now that you have this
Let's find the suspect based on the clues. What I want is the result."
"Yes." Qiu Yu hurriedly retreated. Ouyang Hengxi couldn't help but tighten his hands. Who on earth could break through the siege of thousands of people after killing so many people in one night?
Qiao Shuang'er's wedding was three days later. Xiao Yan, Nalan Zhenqi, and Nalan Zhijin had already gone to Yuluo Manor in advance to watch the excitement. The huge Taifu Mansion seemed a little deserted at this time, and Jing Yirong changed into a light dress.
Yi was walking in the garden and saw Yue Ya standing in the pavilion at a glance, "You didn't go to Yuluo Village?"
"No...no." Yue Ya turned around and saw Jing Yirong with a flustered expression and her right hand behind her back.
Seeing this, Jing Yirong felt doubts in her heart, "What happened?"
"No," Yue Ya shook her head repeatedly, "Don't you need to go to the palace today?"
"just came back."
"Hey, is that so? Have you had lunch?"
"It's just less than an hour after breakfast."
"I forgot, I'll leave first while you enjoy the flowers." Yue Ya was about to leave in a hurry.
Jing Yirong stood sideways in front of Yue Ya, "What happened? Do you think I will really believe you if you say it's okay?"
Yue Ya was stunned, her face was pale, and she lowered her head to hide her guilt, "I have no idea what you are talking about."
"Since you don't want to tell me, I will ask Zhenqi to ask you. He has been too focused on Qiao Shuang'er's wedding and ignored you. Today I will ask him to pay more attention to you."
"No!" Yue Ya refused eagerly and suddenly realized that she was overreacting and said calmly, "I just have a cold these days and nothing serious. Zhenqi has not been able to be so happy for a long time. Don't let it happen again.
My affairs made him unhappy."
"Yueya, you know there are many people who have lied in front of me. Everyone has a different reaction when they lie. Compared to those people, you have so many flaws that I can't even pretend I didn't see them." Jing
Yi Rong stared at Yue Ya with sharp eyes, "Tell me what happened!"
"I..." Tears fell from Yue Ya's eyes, and she looked at Jing Yirong helplessly and panicked, "I don't know."
Jing Yirong didn't dare to confirm the guess in her heart, so she asked cautiously, "Did you kill him?"
Yue Ya trembled all over, her unbelievable eyes were full of fear, and the corners of her mouth were bitten by her own teeth. Tears fell like broken threads, and her lips trembled but she couldn't say a word.
Jing Yirong was making random guesses, but Yue Ya's reaction made her dare not confirm the truth. She suddenly remembered what Qiu Yu said just now and rushed forward to grab Yue Ya's right hand that was hidden behind her back.
"Ah!" Yueya screamed in pain. Jing Yirong looked at the bleeding arm under the silk sleeve in shock. A deep and long wound lay across the entire arm, and the blood was still dripping. Jing Yirong stared at it like a torch.
Looking at the crescent moon, "What is this? How is this injured?!"
"I don't know, I don't know!" Yue Ya withdrew her arms and hit her head with both hands helplessly. Her heart was filled with fear and fear. She was really scared. She didn't kill anyone. She was not a murderer. Yue Ya
Crying and holding Jing Yirong's hand, "Jing Yirong, I'm sick, I seem to be sick."
