Si Tian Guan

      Two **** voids.

    The fright on that face can still be seen clearly, as if it is not a bird chirping outside, but an evil spirit who is about to come to **** its soul.

    The night owl's voice was getting closer, as if it was breaking through the wall, it was in his ear, circling around him.

    You can only hear it when you get close, the sound is not the cry of Ye Xiao, but the cry of a baby. At first it was just a child, and then it was followed by one after another. Sandwiched the woman's vague scream.

    The cell was small and narrow, and he quickly hit the wooden railings, but he still stomped **** the ground, as if there was something threatening his life around him.

    Just as he was on the verge of collapse, those ghostly cries, laughter, and screams stopped abruptly.

    But he just collapsed to the ground and twitched, and a shrill cry of a baby suddenly sounded in his ear, which seemed to be less than half a palm away from him.

    The man froze, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, rolled on the ground and did not move.

    The only thing that is not affected is Fang Wuyang, that is, the throat is very dry.

    "Drink some water," someone handed over a teacup: "Brother."

    Fang Wuyang almost spit out the tea he had drunk in his mouth: "What are you doing!"

    Liu Chongming scolded: "In the middle of the night, what is the name of a ghost!"

    "You..." Fang Wuyang's lungs almost exploded: "Liu Chongming, you are killing a donkey! At midnight, you thought I wanted to come to you to learn how to call ghosts—and You! What are you doing! Is Liu Chongming plotting against you again!"

    Liu Chongming glanced at the person who was whispering to Ling He: "Be careful when you speak."

    Fang Wuyang lowered his voice, still unable to swallow, he took Jingchen a few steps to the side.

    "Jingchen, tell me, why...why don't you even want to help Liu Chongming?"

    Mu Jingchen twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile. Everyone has their own experiences, and he doesn't want to say anything to make people worry about themselves.

     "Mother and concubine have been in poor health for so many years. I have been there for a long time, thinking that she can live well is more important than anything else."

    "It shouldn't be mine, and I don't want to fight. I just think that one day, I can stay away from disputes and get together as a family."

    "Brother, will you be with us at that time?"

    Fang Wuyang was speechless, thinking for a long time, but did not answer the question, only asked: "Liu Chongming really didn't do anything bad? Why are you here?"

    Someone leaned against the pillar with their arms on the side, and said coldly: "His Royal Highness is not afraid that you and Liu Chongming will not see eye to eye, and you will not be able to do anything, that's why I came to stabilize you."

    When Fang Wuyang saw that person, he said, "What are you doing here?"

    "The fine work from King Qi's side will be delivered to your door, do you want it?"

    "No, get out! I think you're trying to do something bad again."

    Jiang Xingzhi didn't even look at him: "Even if it's a bad thing, you did it with me."

    "Okay, let's do it, you don't have to fight," Mu Jingchen stopped between the two of them and gestured to the side: "Chongming that they still have important things to do, let's go there first."

    Liu Chongming took a few steps and bowed his hands to Mu Jingchen: "Excuse me, Your Highness."

    Mu Jingchen stopped him from the ceremony.

    "Chongming, I should thank you. Recently, I found the right prescription for the mother and concubine, and she looks much better."

    Liu Chongming was not happy.

      Fairy.

    "What did the doctor say?"

    "The imperial doctor said that the mother's body has been ill for too long, so she can only take care of it slowly, and it will always be better than before." Mu Jingchen forced a smile: "These years, I have not It is enough to ask for too much, and to enjoy an ordinary life.”

    Are you content?

    Liu Chongming smiled bitterly in his heart, if it was just like this, he would be content, how could Jingchen, who never cared about court affairs, stand on his side so naturally and calmly.

    Is it just because of that unspoken blood relationship? After so many years, even if you have no intention to fight for that position, how can you not feel resentment in your heart?

    Everyone is smart.

    Although I knew in my heart that with this "kindness", Jingchen, who already had friendship with the Liu family, would not only lend a helping hand, but also stabilize Fang Wuyang and Jiang Xingzhi at the same time.

    But Liu Chongming felt ashamed and did not dare to accept this ceremony, so he could only smile reluctantly, comfort a few words, and ask Mu Jingchen to take a break.

     Pan He's business is the current priority.

    Seeing him coming, Ling He and Qu Chenzhou stopped to discuss.

    "Sir."

    Liu Chongming nodded to the two of them. He is not someone with an empty mind like King Qi. Just looking at Pan He's reaction just now, he knew that they were on the right path.

    Before going to Jinpingzhuang, Qu Chenzhou only left Linghe the word "baby".

    Ling He and Rong Jiu'an pondered several times at home, and finally decided to take a risk. Pan He is now a frightened bird. If they fail to try, it is very likely that they will never be able to pry Pan He. .

    More fortunately, they have a sinking boat.

    After listening to their plan, Qu Chenzhou went underground for a while, affirming their attempt.

      Only the frightened bird shot down properly.

    The three sat down at the stone table, Ling He spread out a few pieces of paper, and wrote a few words on each piece of paper—this was Qu Chenzhou’s favorite method before, Ling He took a look Several times, but also to learn the past.

    "Biandilian, twins," Ling He clicked on the six words on the first piece of paper, and then read them one by one: "Sin give birth to a child, baby. Let me talk about the results of my discussion with Shen Zhou. ."

    Liu Chongming looked sideways slightly and smiled - Shen Zhou, these two words came out of the mouth of Linghe so naturally.

    The little fox is really good at wooing people.

    A arrogant person like Ling He looks down on the embroidered pillow the most, and the most unstoppable is the person who does things neatly and overpowers him in real skills.

    "Pan Hyuk reacted violently to the cry of the baby. I have tried many cases like this before. He has a ghost in his heart and has a murder case in his hands, and the victim of this murder case is the Babies and women."

    "The twins are next."

    "According to what I just thought, the baby that Pan Hyuk killed was a twin, maybe even the pregnant woman."

    Liu Chongming put the two pieces of paper side by side in front of him, calm as usual.

    In fact, even without Ling He's explanation, he gradually had a general outline in his heart.

    It's all painted with blood.

    But since I met Qu Shenzhou, who came back from the dead, all the falsehoods have been uncovered.

    When his father told him what his mother had done over the years and where he was now, he was calm enough to remain calm.

    Sister is right, he is the backbone that everyone relies on, and he should support everyone's efforts.

    "Then it is sin to have children," Liu Chongming gestured to the opposite: "Shen Zhou knows more details, let him tell."

    "You all know about the fortune-teller Mr. Hou and the emperor met on the street, so I won't repeat them."

    Qu Chenzhou took a charcoal pen, circled the three words on the paper, and wrote another three words beside it.

    Thirty-five.

    "Fang Wuyi and I went to Jinpingzhuang, and we observed it secretly for several days. There were about seventy people living in the Zhuangzi, and thirty-five of them were all sinners. give birth."

    Ling He was horrified and couldn't help but lose his voice: "How could it be such a coincidence."

    It is rare to be pregnant with twins, and only one dystocia is rare, but there are thirty-five people who have the same experience, all gathered in Jinpingzhuang.

    Unless… someone does it on purpose.

    And they all guessed the man's name.

    "It's more than that," Qu Chenzhou added: "Among the thirty-five people, there are men and women, from swaddling babies to their thirties."

    It was the first time that Ling He heard him speak, he frowned and asked, "Are there any other characteristics?"

    "No."

    "So..." I don't know if it was cold at night, Ling He felt a shudder in himself: "If they live there because of their sin-born children, could it be... a grass substitute? "

    In order to keep the child, the most common way is to take the grass instead.

    The earliest grasses were mostly made of straw, with valuables and the child's birth date inside.

    After that, I found a poor and hard-working child to eat and drink with them. As a substitute for Takako's suffering, I also continued to use this name, calling these substitute children Caodi'er.

    Qu Chenzhou and Liu Chongming also discussed the possibility of scapegoating, but neither of them knew that there was such an allusion. guess.

    The idea that Mr. Fortune Teller gave the emperor must be to replace the emperor with "grass for the child" to bear the sickness and congenital sins.

     "There is another matter," Ling He's face paled: "Do you two remember the Thousand Sons Pagoda?"

    Of course they all know that the emperor ordered the construction of the Thousand Son Pagodas in four counties located in the four counties in the south, south, and northwest shortly after he ascended the throne, saying that it was to pray for the descendants of Dayu.

    At that time, many people in the court were opposed to it, saying that the construction of large-scale construction would cost the people and money, but the final result of the game was that the emperor ordered to reduce the scale of the Thousand Sons Pagoda.

    The four thousand son towers still stand in the four counties.

    Listening to Linghe's reminder, Liu Chongming immediately reacted: "You mean, the Thousand Sons Pagoda was not built by the emperor for blessing..."

     "Do you want to pacify the wronged souls of those baby women who were innocently sacrificed by him?" Qu Chenzhou sneered: "It turns out that the emperor also knows to be afraid, and I still think that only Pan He is afraid of wronged souls. Woolen cloth."

    If Ling He's guess about the Thousand Sons Pagoda is correct, then all the clues will start to be perfectly strung together, except for one.

    "Why thirty-five?"

    "The number of thirty-five is neither the number of years since the emperor ascended the throne, nor the number of years since the emperor met the fortune teller. I thought that maybe I was wrong, thinking of another day Go and have a look."

      Still have some ideas."

    "Jinpingzhuang is not far from the paddock, about half a day's distance from horse racing. This distance is very clever. Ordinary people live there, except that it is remote, there is really no problem."

    "Except for Zhuangzi's people who opened a vegetable field half a mile away, someone will send things over every month."

    "I sent people to follow me twice. The people who sent things came from a village further west of Jinpingzhuang. There were not many people in the village. When people went out to work, they went in and checked around the house."

    “Many houses have signs of renovation, probably less than a year after renovation.”

    "One year..." Ling He murmured and repeated, the eyes of the three were together, and they all knew what this time meant.

     Pan He had an accident about a year ago, and the people in this village were entrusted to deliver food to Jinpingzhuang after that.

    "When was Jinpingzhuang built?" He asked Liu Chongming.

    “The old Zhuangzi from a long time ago was also renovated and expanded a year ago.”

    "It's very possible," Ling He thought and said slowly, "About a year ago, these people were transferred from Pan He to Jinpingzhuang."

    Liu Chongming agreed with this statement. When he realized the truth behind this assumption, he lost sleep again. When he was about to put on his clothes and go out for a walk, he saw Qu Chenzhou also sitting up from the sarong, follow him.

    Qu Chenzhou put his hand in his palm, their fingers intertwined, and they were intimate.

    "No."

    With the warmth of his palm, he can hold his head high and move forward.

    What did Pan Hyuk do, why is he frightened by the cries of babies and women, and the answer is about to come out.

    But just telling the truth to the emperor is what the emperor wants?

    Liu Chongming was in deep thought when he saw Qu Chenzhou raised his finger.

    "Sir, there is another one with a bright mind, maybe I can help you think about it."
