Chapter 296: The tragic death of a palace maid (1)

After receiving his first full score from the cute and silly brown bear since joining the Non-Human Department, Qu Jie was quite happy and entered the next world.

However, as soon as she entered, she was confused.

Because she didn't enter the physical body at all, and didn't even see the corpse. The surroundings were not only dark, but also felt very small. She could only successfully receive a wisp of the remnant soul of the original body, and the very deep obsession in the remnant soul.

It can be said that this is the first time that Qu Jie knows the other party's last wish before learning the original person's memory.

Her last wish was twofold, one was revenge.

The second is to hope that good and evil in the world will be rewarded.

After Qu Jie received these two last wishes with a confused look, she quickly absorbed the remaining soul of her original body to give herself an identity in this world, and then began to look at where she was and where she was. ?

"It's square and quite big, but it doesn't look like a coffin. How come there are no bones in the coffin? Wait, the bottom...it seems to be all ashes.

There is light above. Is this a well?

Could it be a well specially used for ashes?

I didn't waste much time. Why was the body cremated so quickly and thrown into the well? "

After Qu Jie's soul glanced around for a moment, she knew where she was. She was obviously in a dry well, and it was hard to say what the dry well was used for before, but now it was most likely used specifically to store ashes, because she looked down. Looking at it, I found that the ashes below were at least several meters deep, not to mention that the original body was probably just a person.

Not even an elephant can burn so many ashes.

But no matter what, it is definitely impossible to read any memories from the ashes below. If you want to know the cause of death and who the enemy is, you must first go out to understand the situation, so Qu Jieding went straight up without hesitation. Fly, want to fly out of the dry well first.

The process... was actually quite smooth.

When crossing the wellhead, although she felt a resistance, that resistance was really too fragile for Qu Jie, and she easily broke free with a slight push of her head.

However, that weak resistance made Qu Jie know why the original body died and why it was considered inhuman!

Before the mission appeared, the original body should have died, and the soul entered the depths of the dry well along with the ashes. Then the soul of the original body probably wanted to leave the dry well for revenge, but there were seals and formations above the dry well specifically for the soul. If you try to break free with a most ordinary soul, you are undoubtedly seeking death.

So it wasn't that Qu Jie arrived late and her body had already been cremated, but that the person who sent the mission was not a human being. It was probably because of this that she was classified into the non-human department.

However, Qu Jie's soul is so powerful. A sealing formation that can't even block the foundation-building soul is like a bubble to Qu Jie. He doesn't need to exert any force and can pass through it easily and naturally.

At the same time, the formation also burst like a bubble.

Then Qu Jie did not study the broken formation at all, nor did she collect the ashes that belonged to the original body mixed among the countless ashes. Instead, she searched for people nearby and found two people outside the courtyard where the dry well was. The old eunuch lived there, so he flew over there, fell asleep, and learned about the situation from them.

They lived in the courtyard where the dry well was.

Even if you don't know much information, you can't know nothing. If you learn some situations through them, and continue to explore along with this information, it shouldn't take long to successfully figure out the cause of the original person's death.

The process of falling into the dream was not particularly smooth, because as soon as Qu Jie appeared in his original form, he almost scared the two old eunuchs to death. It was Qu Jie who quickly sent out a ray of soul to stimulate their hearts and saved their lives.

Fortunately, things went much smoother after that.

Qu Jie soon learned some useful information.

She turned out to be a palace maid, and they didn't know her specific name. They only knew that this palace lady offended the imperial concubine for some unknown reason this morning, and was given a zhang of red. She was killed on the spot, and then sent away according to the rules of the palace. Cremated and ashes thrown into dry well.

That's right, it wasn't secretly thrown into a dry well.

But according to the rules, that's it.

There are three categories of women in the harem. The first category is the emperor's concubines, the second category is the female officials, and the third category is the palace ladies.

The palace maids were actually slaves, and it was legal to kill them. Slaves who were sick or old and weak were just like the guilty ones. They were sent to a fixed place to support themselves by working, and then waited to die.

After death, he was cremated and his ashes were scattered into a dry well.

Of course, there are exceptions. If the person dies due to illness, and the family members are in the capital, they have been contacted before death, and the family members are still taking care of the situation.

That would allow the bones to be taken home and buried.

However, there are very few palace maids who can meet so many conditions. The original body is obviously not among this range. Moreover, she was given death by Yi Zhanghong and is a sinner. Even if her family wants to take back the bones, it should not be possible.

After learning this information, Qu Jie, of course, took advantage of the dark moon and high winds to continue looking for other people mentioned by the two old eunuchs who had come into contact with the original body's bones.

But this time I gained experience, and instead of scaring people into dreams, I directly used my soul to hypnotize my soul and ask questions.

So follow the clues and gradually explore upwards.

He kept getting to know the executioner, the witnesses, and the palace ladies who were familiar with the original person, how the original person offended the imperial concubine, as well as the situation of his family and himself.

Just got a little clue.

The original person's death was really unjust, because she was a little palace maid, a little palace maid responsible for cleaning.

How can I offend the imperial concubine?

The actual situation was that when the concubine went to pay respects to the queen, she seemed to be scolded by the queen. She was very angry when she returned to the palace. However, she was working at that time and she had to clean the dead branches and leaves in the area where she was every day. , it can be regarded as the kind of zoning management. When the imperial concubine came over, she also quickly stopped working, stood at the edge and bowed her head, not daring to look directly.

Everything is in order.

But at this time, a fallen leaf was blown down by the wind and hit the imperial concubine on the face. The wind was beyond her control. The leaf was not blown up from the ground, but suddenly fell from the tree. down.

But the imperial concubine was so angry that she thought it was because the maid was not doing her job well enough, and she even did it on purpose. If she couldn't deal with the empress, how could she not be able to deal with the maid?Then there was Yi Zhanghong waiting for her.

To a noble concubine, the life and death of a palace maid is no different than that of an ant. Before she left, she even complained that the original body was bleeding too much and her screams were too miserable and unpleasant to hear.

Dirty garden soil.

And dirty her ears...

This is written according to the palace ladies of the Ming Dynasty.
