Madam, did she abuse the scum today?

Chapter 268 What is the Duke planning to do?

Murong Jing pressed the center of his eyebrows, and after a long silence, he said coldly, "After you go to the scene to see it, you can go for me."

If such a thing happened suddenly, and it was still within his jurisdiction, the emperor would definitely be furious. He had to find something to divert his old father's attention.

……

Suburbs, barren hills.

Barren Mountain was not called Barren Mountain before, but Sakura Mountain. It is said that it got its name from the wild cherry blossoms all over the mountain. Every year in the early spring, the mountain cherry blossoms all over the mountain are in full bloom. When you look at it, you can see all the pink and white petals. It is refreshing.

Whenever the mountain cherry blossoms bloom, Sakurayama must be crowded with people and the noise is extraordinary.

There are even more tourists who come to watch it than some star tourist attractions.

But since five years ago, when a few people were killed in Yingshan, there have been strange and terrifying things happening here. Either the local residents disappeared inexplicably, or they were infected with strange diseases, and their bodies were covered with dense yellow pus. , Enduring severe pain every day, but there is no cure, or a strong person suddenly dies suddenly, and no cause of death can be found out.

Or the pregnant women, the elderly and young children at home suddenly seem to have lost their minds and are in a trance all day long, hugging a wooden stake or pillow, sitting on the threshold with dull eyes, looking at the direction of the top of the mountain and smirking, Still muttering words.

The expression on the face is sometimes happy and sweet, sometimes frightened and uneasy, sometimes pious and serious, and sometimes ferociously distorted...

In short, the look changes, which is very exciting.

Some people said that they were bewitched by evil spirits, others said that they were bewitched by witches and cursed viciously, and some said that they were bewitched by demons... In short, there are different opinions.

In order to get out of the predicament, the residents living here have also used eighteen kinds of martial arts, but no matter whether it is to hire a doctor, a mage or a psychic, they cannot get rid of this predicament, and instead make things worse It's getting weirder and more terrifying.

Over time, everyone moved away from Yingshan one after another, not knowing whether it was out of fear or awe.

But Yingshan has no one to take care of it, coupled with the increasing number of weird incidents, Yingshan, which was once crowded with people, suddenly became empty.

With the passage of time, it has been a long time since people set foot here to repair and reorganize. The originally green and vibrant Yingshan Mountain has been completely reduced to a daunting and frightening barren mountain.

Half a person's tall weeds rose from the ground, completely burying the cobbled path in the middle. The mountain cherry tree, which was once full of vitality, was also bent over by the wind and rain at this moment, and became strangely shaped. There are countless dry and decayed branches that hang among the branches and leaves after being broken by the wind.

On the ground, there was a thick layer of dead branches and rotting leaves, the brown soil was wet and sticky, and the pungent withered smell was disgusting.

At a glance, it was withered and yellow, desolate and desolate.

The previously crowded Sakura Mountain was also renamed Barren Mountain.

At this time, at the foot of the barren mountain.

The torrential rain that lasted for nearly a night caused mountain torrents and washed out the secrets buried deep in the mountains.

It also made this barren mountain that has been uninhabited for a long time become lively.

Rainwater mixed with gravel-filled soil gurgled over the ground, washing the weedy ground into a huge puddle.

On the empty field, countless guards wearing raincoats, rain boots, and rain hats attached their hands behind their backs, one person at three steps, and one guard at ten steps, firmly surrounding the entire field, and a cordon was drawn around it.

On the ground full of puddles, several corpses covered with white cloths were placed neatly.

Chu Yi in a black suit squatted in front of a dead body, and stretched out his hand to lift the white cloth above. When he saw that terrifying scene, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves. As for him, he couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment.

The corpse was a woman, about 162 cm in height and 120 catties in weight. Looking at her face, she should be around 24 years old. Her abdomen was slightly protruding, which was a sign of pregnancy.

Her face was scratched, and there was only an empty black hole left in her eyes without eyeballs. At this time, countless maggots were wriggling inside.

There are thick bruises on the wrists and ankles, which can be seen from the binding.

The whole body, except for the abdomen is intact, the rest of the place is intact, the whole picture is shocking and horrible.

Chu Yi's pupils shrank sharply, and a dark light quickly flashed in his eyes, resisting the discomfort in his stomach and the shock in his heart, he slowly pulled the white cloth over the corpse.

Then he checked the other guys again, without exception, these people are all women, and their status is not low.

Compared with the pregnant woman, they were slightly older, all around thirty to forty.

Moreover, the death was miserable and terrifying, giving chills down the spine and creeping up one's spine.

His body was covered with marks left by his claws.

Frowning tightly, he covered the white cloth in silence. Chu Yi stood up with a gloomy face, took the handkerchief handed over by the guard and wiped his hands. Overwhelmed the guards holding umbrellas, braved the storm and walked out of the security circle.

Looking up at the family officials who had been quietly waiting in the rain, Chu Yi pursed his lips, "Everyone, please mourn, go claim it."

Several people nodded, and walked into the empty space with sad expressions.

Seeing the person next to him who was closest to his pillow being brutally tortured and murdered, the men who are usually high above the ground and have infinite glory, their eyes were red at the moment, and they fell to their knees heavily on the ground, trembling and stretching out their hands to hug them. The rotting corpse wept heart-piercingly.

"My lord duke, my wife has never been evil to others. Who is it that wants to kill her with such cruel and cruel methods? We have just married, and the child in her womb is only four months old. She is kind-hearted. Who is it? What hatred and resentment, to treat her so cruelly."

A man in his mid-twenties, with a handsome face, hugged the pregnant corpse tightly, looked at Chu Yi with scarlet eyes, and roared in grief and indignation.

"My lord, the security of the imperial city is maintained by the people under your command, but now such a cruel tragedy has happened, what is your lord going to do?"
