Chapter 951
Meng Yan took a breath, and she tried her best to suppress it, but a sob still slipped out of her throat.She took another deep breath and continued to suppress.

She said: "But I can't let him wander outside, it's so cold outside, he doesn't know anyone, I can't imagine..."

Yin Heng hugged her tightly, that posture was for her to rely on, and faintly seemed to regard her as a straw.

It seems that only by being close together can two drowning people be saved.

In the cold winter of March and September, the lakes in the capital have been frozen by ice.

Before the snow fell, the ice was not very thick, but after several heavy snowfalls, a thick layer of ice condensed on the surface of the lake.

There are always some adults and children who like to be close to the lake and play on the ice.

Looking down carefully through the ice, you can still vaguely see the faintly flowing lake water.Therefore, people who play are afraid that the bearing capacity of the ice surface is not enough, so they dare not rely on the center of the lake.

Later, someone discovered that there was something unusual under the ice.

At first, there were only one or two people looking down the ice surface, and then the passers-by were curious, and they all came over to take a look.

More and more pedestrians gathered around.

Someone pointed to the faint white object under the ice and asked in puzzlement, "What is that? How could it be floating under the ice?"

Everyone was very puzzled and couldn't find a definite answer for a while.

"It wasn't there two days ago, why is it here today? Besides, the ice has never melted, so it must be something in the water."

Someone suddenly said, "This...doesn't it look like an upturned fish belly?"

When he mentioned this, the big guys took a closer look and echoed: "I think it looks like it! It's probably a fish!"

The fish will turn over when they are dead. Everyone counted them, and there are about a dozen or twenty of them that are faintly turned up under the ice.

There are no other places around, but this area gathers. Could it be that there is something abnormal under this piece of water?
The reason must be clarified, otherwise, if more fish die in this lake, it will be difficult to deal with it at that time.

So these people discussed for a while, went to find tools, and prepared to dig through the ice.

Several strong men worked together to knock out cracks in the ice surface with an awl.Then I stretched out my feet to step on it a few times, and saw the ice surface shattered into the water.

Immediately, the scene below appeared clearly and unmistakably.

I saw fish floating on the ice-green lake.

A dead fish with a white belly.

A man reached out to fish for the nearest one and looked at it. It was already dead, and said, "This is a catfish."

Then it was discovered that not only the one in his hand, but also the other dead fish in the water were all catfish.

Then some people wondered, and said: "Why are there all catfish? Other fish are fine?"

Another person who is familiar with the habits of catfish said: "This catfish specializes in carrion, and other fish are fine, which means they must have eaten something unclean."

Everyone couldn't help looking into the water again, could it be that there is really something unclean down here?
It's just that the water is deep and cold, and the bottom cannot be seen at a glance, and no one knows what is below.

Then the people nearby got two small boats and put the boats on the ice, so it doesn't matter if the ice breaks; then a few people got on the boat and fished into the water with tools to see if there was anything.

A group of people gathered around the shore, waiting to see the result.

The people on the boat used long poles and nets to plunge into the lake water repeatedly and salvaged it several times. There was nothing but dead catfish.

Later, when he was about to give up, one of them's long pole was deeply submerged in the water and hadn't been fully retracted. Suddenly, he seemed to hit something, and then shouted: "This way! There is something under here!"

Another boat quickly moved closer to this side.

A few guys rode each other with each other, and they probed to the depth, and they really felt that there was something underneath.So after several struggles, a long pole finally hooked the things below.

Several people pulled it together and saw that the bamboo pole was hooked on the middle section of a hemp rope, and the two ends were not visible.

Then they pulled up the two ends of the hemp rope respectively.

They clearly felt that one end of the hemp rope was very light, but the other end was very heavy.So I first focused on quickly pulling the sinking end out of the water.

However, when I got out of the water, I saw that it was a tied stone.

Several people were in shock, and at this time the other end was about to surface.

When a head emerged, the man in charge of salvage couldn't help gasping.

When the people on the shore saw it, the timid ones screamed in alarm.

It was a small corpse.

It has been eaten to pieces, the broken clothes on the body cover a rough skeleton, and the original flesh and blood body has rotted and turned white.

The men were quite frightened, the boat swayed on the lake a few times, shattering the surrounding ice floes.

There were two people who were in close contact with each other on the boat, and they leaned directly beside the boat and vomited violently.

Meng Yan was walking on the street, and suddenly heard the passing people discussing what happened by the lake.

"At first I found a lot of dead catfish, and then I broke the ice and salvaged it, and guess what, there was a dead body underneath!"

"Ah, this is too miserable!"

"Those fish were probably poisoned to death after eating the corpses. The child was still very young, and when he was picked up, he had already been eaten to death by the fish."

As soon as the words fell, Meng Yan grabbed the commoner who was speaking aggressively, and asked aggressively, "Where is he? Where is he?!"

The common people were unprepared, they were frightened by her appearance, they stretched out their fingers in one direction, and murmured, "It's by the lake over there."

Meng Yan ran forward like crazy.

In the past two days, Yin Heng sent everyone out, but no one brought back any useful news.The only thing he heard that might be related to Yin Lin was the child's body that was also salvaged by the lake.

He followed Meng Yan closely, and saw Meng Yan push aside the crowd of onlookers, saw the wet and incomplete corpse lying on the ground, she knelt down, and lightly touched the gnawed body. Some tattered little clothes, and then hugged the corpse tightly in his arms.

The people around were amazed.

Everyone else avoided it, but she still went forward to hug her, so it must be the child's family.

For a moment, people sympathized and said: "The dead cannot be brought back to life, Madam, please mourn."

Another person said: "I know her. I have been looking for her on the street for the past two days. Whenever I meet someone, I ask if I have seen her child."

So she is the child's mother.

Later, people from the government came to deal with it, but they were stopped by Yin Heng. After a few words of negotiation, the officers and soldiers withdrew.

The matter reached the ears of the emperor.

The emperor was a little surprised, and said: "You said that Princess Yinwu was holding a rotting corpse on the street, calling the son's name?" But didn't the two sons and daughters of the Yinwu Palace died in the palace, and the corpse had already been taken back by the palace? There is a funeral.

Eunuch Huang replied: "Yes, maybe I'm too sad."
