Chapter 162 The Bride's Horrible Corpse
Eunuch Fang Su looked up at Jiang Wanqing.
The coldness in my body finally faded away.
With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Ms. Jiang seems to like being a 'gentleman on the beam'."
Jiang Wanqing jumped down from the beam of the house.
He steadied himself in front of Eunuch Fang Su.
He sniffed carefully and his brows gradually frowned.
Jiang Wanqing didn't like the strong smell of blood.
In the past, on the battlefield in the border town, Jiang Wanqing had to accompany the dead every day.
She still doesn't like the smell of blood.
Eunuch Fang Su looked at Jiang Wanqing's actions.
He took a look at himself.
He took a step back calmly.
He took off his black cloak and threw it to the subordinates behind him.
Then he explained: "Sorry, I didn't mean to be late, I just encountered some minor problems on the way here."
Jiang Wanqing didn't dwell on this matter too much.
So he said, "Time is limited, let's set off quickly."
Eunuch Fang Su nodded.
Several fast horses have been prepared outside the ruined temple.
Everyone went directly to Changping Village in the north of the city.
Eunuch Fang Su did not take Jiang Wanqing directly to the place he had prepared.
He also took Jiang Wanqing to the charity cemetery.
Jiang Wanqing looked at the word "Yi Zhuang".
His brows were slightly wrinkled.
This is where the bodies are kept...
Why did Eunuch Fang Su bring me here?
Perhaps he noticed Jiang Wanqing's confusion.
Eunuch Fang Su explained: "Two brides have been persecuted recently. I think you should take a look at them so that you have a chance to regret. Although you are a powerful martial artist, this matter is dangerous after all."
After saying that, Eunuch Fang Su stepped into the "Yizhuang" first.
It was pitch black all the way inside the Yizhuang.
Only a few candles were burning.
Among them, one room is the brightest.
Eunuch Fang Su walked towards the house.
Jiang Wanqing followed closely behind.
open the door.
A rotten and fishy smell hit me in the face.
The candlelight in the room was also swaying in the breeze brought by the movement of opening the door.
The figures of the two were reflected on the window.
But what attracted people's attention the most was the "corpses" lying on the two beds in the room.
The two brides still wore their bridal crowns on their heads, with their eyes wide open and expressions of unwillingness.
The bride's body was only covered with a white cloth.
It's obvious.
There was no clothing under the white cloth.
Jiang Wanqing frowned slightly.
I couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you give them clothes?"
A girl's body must not be allowed to be seen by others at will.
Even for those who have passed away, we should treat them with dignity.
Now, why is he only covering his body with a white cloth?
Eunuch Fang Su's eyes darkened slightly: "When they were found, they were naked. Their bodies... were..."
Eunuch Fang Su did not say the following words.
Jiang Wanqing heard this and took a step forward.
A corner of the white cloth was slightly lifted.
But his face changed drastically.
Pursing her lips, she asked, "Are you saying that their bodies have been damaged so badly that there is not a single piece of healthy skin left? Why do these... seem to be some words..."
Under the white cloth, there were red scratches all over the woman’s naked body.
It's not just one or two scratches.
Instead, the entire body of the woman, except for the part below her neck, was covered with words carved with a knife.
"If a king has no virtue, heaven will not be auspicious. If a king does not deserve the supreme position, heaven will punish him if he tries to seize the throne..."
As each word came out of Jiang Wanqing's mouth.
Her expression became even uglier.
Jiang Wanqing took a deep breath.
He turned around and looked at Eunuch Fang Su: "Who on earth is so bold as to carve words all over the bride's body with a dagger, not to mention that these words are so outrageous!"
Eunuch Fang Su’s eyes flashed.
He lowered his head and chuckled, "So, this is why His Majesty asked me to investigate this case. If it was an ordinary case with a few deaths, His Majesty wouldn't take it too seriously. But if it happened to these brides and the news got out, it would be bad for His Majesty."
Jiang Wanqing agreed, "That's true. However, the case of the King of Hell marrying a wife is somewhat well-known in the capital, but no one knows the words on the bride's body."
If a ruler has no virtue, heaven will not be auspicious. If a ruler is unworthy of the supreme position, heaven will punish him if he tries to seize the throne...
If such words were to be spread, Jiang Wanqing could already imagine the impact it would have.
Eunuch Fang Su looked at Jiang Wanqing with a half-smile on his face: "Anyone who knew the bride's secret has been dealt with."
Jiang Wanqing touched her neck subconsciously.
He hesitated and said, "Everyone who knew this has been silenced. But now you are still telling me these words. Could it be that... you want to silence me?"
Eunuch Fang Su asked with a meaningful look in his eyes: "If I wanted to kill Miss Jiang, why would I find such an excuse?"
Ever since the bride's secret was revealed, Eunuch Fang Su's gaze had been following Jiang Wanqing's.
Jiang Wanqing heard this and thought it made sense.
Thinking deeply, "Tell me, why did the people who killed the bride do this? Could it be related to this rebellious remark? Putting the human cause above the heavenly punishment, what does the other party want to do?"
Jiang Wanqing weighed the sentence word by word.
He murmured from time to time.
"Although the current emperor cannot be said to have made any great achievements, he has ensured peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
"Why do some people say that he has no morals... and that he is trying to seize the throne? What kind of talk is that..."
Eunuch Fang Su looked closely at Jiang Wanqing and asked meaningfully, "In the beginning, it was the Zhenguo Mansion that supported the Baili family to ascend to the throne. As a young lady from the Zhenguo Mansion, you should know the most about whether they seized the throne or not, right?"
Jiang Wanqing's eyes flickered as she smiled bitterly: "When the dynasty changed, I was not yet born... I was also born in the fifth year of Xuanhe."
After a pause, Jiang Wanqing continued, "However, I have also heard something. Although my Zhenguo Mansion holds great power, at that time, everyone thought that after the Dongfang clan was assassinated and destroyed, my father would directly take the throne, but my father really had no interest in that position.
It just so happened that the Baili family had some connections with the Dongfang family. Also, the current emperor was a close friend of the previous emperor and my father. At that time, the country could not be without a ruler for a day, so the current emperor was pushed to the throne.
This can't be called a fight for the throne, right? It's just going with the flow, why would there be such a rumor..."
Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Eunuch Fang Su's eyebrows were silent, and he seemed to be surprised and said: "Is your father really not interested in that position at all? It is very strange that the Dongfang clan was killed in their own territory."
