There's A Beauty
Chapter 59 Painted Skin
The lonely man and widow stay in the house for three quarters of an hour, and normal people will think of the things that are difficult.Therefore, the second wife and several other sister-in-laws thought that the two of them had already accomplished something, and they were waiting to see the big room joke.
The Ninth Prince came quietly, they didn't know about it at first, but because of the incident of the ghost hitting the wall, a group of people wandered around the yard for a long time, burning paper money to beg the Bodhisattva, and knocking on the door wall with a stick, the commotion was very loud, It's hard not to know.Originally thought that the news of Zhao Youshu's acceptance of the house would be passed to His Highness Ninth Prince's ears tomorrow, so that he could see the big room's jokes, but he didn't expect His Highness to come down in such a timely manner that there was a scene of catching an adulterer in bed.
The fun is even greater!
Don't say that each house sent people to inquire about the situation, even the old lady and old lady in the main courtyard paid close attention to this matter, and then received the shocking news one after another.
The second wife jumped up and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't seem to hear clearly?"
Zhao Yusong also frowned and stared, with a puzzled expression.They clearly heard it clearly, but they couldn't believe it.
The maidservant knelt down with a thud, "The fifth young master cut Taohong alive, ripped open her belly, and the flesh flew everywhere! This servant saw it with her own eyes!" Recalling the bloody scene just now, she still felt weak in her hands and feet, unable to stand, otherwise It's just that you don't need to kneel down to answer the second wife.
"Cut to death? How could he cut people to death? How did Tao Hong provoke him?" The second wife still couldn't believe her ears.All the young and old in each house stared at a stunning beauty like Tao Hong. If she hadn't wanted to clean up the big house, Zhao Youshu wouldn't have been cheap.
But now, the old woman said that Zhao Youshu didn't enjoy her, but ripped her open. Is there something wrong with his mind?Is he still human?Only at this moment did she remember what the housekeeper secretly told her yesterday, saying that the fifth young master had entered Fanghua Garden, inspected Mrs. Zou's body, and then cut off his tongue.
At that time, the housekeeper told her to be careful of the fifth son, and even asserted that this son was not an ordinary person.Now she finally understands what is so extraordinary.
"Then how did His Royal Highness react?" The second wife managed to calm down and asked in a low voice.I also want to know that His Highness Ninth Highness is also a murderer. As long as Zhao Youshu doesn't physically betray him, no matter how many outrageous things the other party does, he won't care, right?
Sure enough, the maid replied, "His Royal Highness Nine has an ordinary attitude. He just walked in and locked the door. He didn't hear any scolding or noise."
"Go, ask again!" The second wife waved her sleeves.
The servant woman was very frightened, but she didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she went slowly.If she had known that Fifth Young Master was such an evil god, she would never have come to the Dafang as an errand.Even if he was willing to kill a beauty like Tao Hong, wouldn't others be more dangerous?Never expected that the fifth young master's obedient and docile skin would wrap such a fierce beast.
The more the maid thought about it, the more frightened she was, and she planned to finish this job and not send any news to the other houses in the future.Otherwise, if the Wang family can spare herself, the fifth son will not be able to bear it.
Not only the second room was horrified beyond words, but the other rooms were also twitching and bewildered.The old man was especially angry, and wished he could bring his grandson for a trial immediately.The Zhao family takes "loyalty, benevolence and filial piety" as their family motto throughout the ages, and there is absolutely no reason to wantonly kill servants. Even the only son of the eldest family must impose the most severe family law.
But since His Highness Ninth Prince was still there, he had no choice but to restrain himself, thinking about taking him into the ancestral hall after His Highness left and disposing of it secretly.
Zhao Shilang couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking, and stood beside his unconscious wife and sighed repeatedly.Now he is not in the mood to find out why his son wanted to kill Taohong, so he is only thinking about how to make his son avoid the family law.How can the son's small body withstand a hundred sticks?
Just at this time, Wang woke up leisurely, looked at the roof of the tent and then at the husband, and then said frightenedly, "I just had a nightmare!"
"It's not a nightmare, it's real." Zhao Shilang helped her up, and cruelly pierced the reality.
Mrs. Wang froze, and then cried in a low voice, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have forced my son to take the room, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. If he doesn't like it, just say it, what to do, you should be a man People..." After finishing speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, and said anxiously, "Master, how many people have seen this matter? Hurry up, hurry up, seal the yard, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! This matter must not be spread, wait a few days God, let's just say that Taohong fell ill and died!"
In the end, the instinct to protect her son prevailed, and she began to consider more practical issues.
"It's late, I saw you fainted, I was very anxious, and I was worried about my son and His Highness the Ninth Prince, so I forgot to control the servants. Now, I know what I should know, and I know what I shouldn't know. Let's seal who Mouth?" Zhao Shilang pointed to the main courtyard and said worriedly, "Our son is not a consort of the princess, and the old man will not protect him. For the sake of the Zhao family's reputation, and to show his fairness and benevolence, I'm afraid he will take our son."
"What happened to the princess son-in-law? The princess son-in-law can be exempted from prostitution, wives and concubines, and won't be held accountable for harming people's lives. What kind of justice is it? Pooh, a group of pious people who are trying to gain fame! Our son is still the princess!" In order to save his son's life, the king Shi couldn't care about anything, and opened his mouth to admit his relationship with His Highness Ninth Prince.
Zhao Shilang was not as big-hearted as his wife, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.As long as His Highness Ninth Prince is there, even if his son pokes a hole in the sky, he will be safe and sound.If the old master wants to impose family law on his son, he has to see if His Highness the Ninth Prince agrees.
In the house, Youshu, who was dazed by the kiss, was slowly waking up, realizing that it would be impossible to dispose of the corpse without anyone noticing it.He originally planned very carefully, first slaughtered the monster, then burned it to ashes, and then made a puppet out of talisman, let it walk out of Zhao Mansion by itself in a few days, and said it disappeared for no reason.There is also a phantom talisman, which is used to change the memory of the hidden guard on the beam.
But right now, inside and outside the courtyard, many people have seen the tragic state of the corpse. Perhaps it has been publicized, and it will be extremely difficult to clean it up.He scratched the back of his head and touched the fire talisman in his sleeve pocket, really struggling.
The Ninth Prince also thought of this, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'll take care of this corpse for you. But you have to remember, be more thoughtful and calm in the future, don't care about the head and the tail, and make such a big hole .”
If you hadn't barged in suddenly, my plan wouldn't have been disrupted.Of course, he didn't dare to say these words clearly, so he nodded obediently, and finally asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course it is to burn it." The Ninth Prince rubbed the boy's messy hair, then opened the window and called a few secret guards in.
Being able to remain as the dark side of Emperor Zongsheng for more than six hundred years, these dark guards are naturally well-trained and hard-hearted, but even so, they were shocked by the scene inside the house.They gasped imperceptibly, and then cleaned up blood, internal organs, corpses, etc. under the command of their master.
As soon as the window was opened, there was a breeze that carried the stench out of the hospital, attracting many cats and dogs.They howled all around the house, and a few tried to get in through the windows, but were kicked out again.Zhao Shilang and Wang Shi heard the movement and ran to the door, wanted to push but didn't dare, hesitated several times, then heard a creaking sound, the door opened from the inside, and the Ninth Prince walked out slowly with his son in his arms.
"Father, mother, I..." Youshu was in a nervous mood, her eyes were flushed, and she lowered her head as soon as she said a word, as if she didn't dare to see anyone.
Mrs. Wang pulled him over, slapped him twice, and cursed, "You son of a bitch, how could you rashly do something at home and let people watch it? Are you stupid? You say you are stupid!" Not stupid?"
What do you mean?Co-authoring is not allowed at home, but outside?It is enough to co-author without being seen by others, but it is not enough to be seen by others?Is there anything you teach your kids?No wonder such an evil god was raised!The servants who were placed by each house were invariably slanderous, but they also became more afraid of Dafang's family.
Zhao Zhizhou wanted to say something, and was about to open his mouth, but he heard His Ninth Prince said slowly, "Mrs. Zhao, you have to train the servants at home well in the future. Some people are very unruly. To scare people in front of you, or to inform others to betray the master and gain profits. Some maidservants with higher hearts than the sky actually put their ideas on the king and tried to murder the king. No, the king has already dealt with one for you. It can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys."
He pointed behind him, and only then did Wang and Zhao Shilang realize that four guards appeared in the house at some point, carrying a corpse covered with a black cloth.
The two of them immediately realized that His Highness the Ninth Prince had taken the murder on his own shoulders.He said that the maid was trying to murder him, even if others knew the truth, how dare they refute it?Is it possible to offend the high-ranking prince for a trivial servant?Even the old man can't say anything.
The two were overjoyed, and thanked His Highness the Ninth Prince repeatedly, saying that what he taught was that he would strictly control his subordinates in the future.
Just at this time, the old man came to see him with the support of his sons.Since His Highness Ninth Prince appeared in such a big way, they couldn't pretend not to know, whether or not they could see it was His Highness Ninth's business, but whether they came or not was their attitude.His Highness the Ninth Highness kicked people out a few times before, and it was the same this time.
A few people had planned to kneel down, meaning to go back and wait for His Highness to return to the palace later, and then called Youshu to interrogate and deal with it. Unexpectedly, His Highness sent someone to call them in, pointing at the corpse covered with black cloth and saying that A servant girl tried to murder him, but was beheaded by the guards, and ordered them to clean up the family tradition, so as not to cause more trouble.
This is to clean up the big house and the family, and put the shit pot on the heads of other houses instead.The old man dared not speak out, but the second old man was extremely upset, and was about to speak up, when he saw a servant scrambling in and yelling, "The old man is not good, a stripper was found in the dry well in Nanyuan." Skinned, dug out corpse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several black cats suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the four hidden guards.The dark guard dodged reflexively, but accidentally knocked off the corpse, and most of the black cloth covering it was lifted off.
"This, what is this?" The old man almost fainted after just one glance, not to mention the few masters.Horrified, several black cats ran to the corpse to feast on it. One of them took half a broken heart in its mouth and quickly burrowed into the bushes.
Youshu had a bad intuition, and the black cat was nowhere to be seen when she was going to chase it. After thinking about it for a while, she had to press the matter down.He pinched the corner of his master's clothes and said in a low voice, "Go to Nanyuan to have a look."
The Ninth Prince had exactly this intention.Recently, strange things happened frequently in the Zhao Mansion. First, it was the inexplicable explosion of the Zou family, then the ghost hit the wall, and then this skinned corpse. Could it be that Youshu's killing of Taohong was related to these things?But what would be the connection?He guessed secretly, and then led the boy to Nanyuan first.
The few people who turned their backs and didn't dare to look at Tao Hong's body regained their senses and hurriedly followed.It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but today is really a coincidence, and they can't hide it even if they want to.
Nanyuan is an abandoned small courtyard with overgrown weeds and dilapidated eaves, few people come here on weekdays.Today, for some reason, many cats and dogs ran into the yard suddenly, whining around a dry well, as if they were salivating, and this attracted a servant to check, and then they were so frightened that they lost control on the spot.
At present, the cats and dogs have been driven away, and the corpses have also been carried out. The butler led a few more courageous servants to guard not far away.
The Ninth Prince ignored them, and directly lifted the black cloth to examine the corpse, not to mention showing shock, without even frowning.Youshu also had a flat expression. She picked up a branch to pick at the corpse, and said slowly, "The female corpse is fifteen years old and five feet three inches tall. She was still alive when her skin was skinned and her heart was dug out. She died within two hours." Judging from this, this corpse is exactly Tao Hong who was killed by a monster.
"How do you know that she was still alive when she was skinned and heart gouged out?" Ninth Prince asked curiously.
Youshu pointed to the blood hole in his chest and explained, "If a person is still alive, the skin will be elastic. If the heart is taken out, the flesh around the wound will naturally roll up, just like this." He touched the bloody wound with a tree branch, As for the real identity of the corpse, he knew it in his heart but he couldn't tell, because no one would believe that there were two Taohongs in the world, and the latter killed the former, took her skin as his own, and even ate her heart alive .
The Ninth Prince nodded and praised, "My family, Youshu, is very knowledgeable."
Is it because he has killed many people that he has such insight?Afterwards, the old man and others who followed were slandering in their hearts. They only glanced at the corpse before turning their backs, their stomachs full of acid.
The Ninth Prince pulled Youshu up and said, "Do you want to investigate this murder case by yourself or report it to the officials? If you investigate it yourself, I will not interfere. If you report it to the officials, I will investigate it myself." Naturally, he attaches great importance to this matter, saying that he will not interfere, but in fact, he has changed from an open investigation to a secret investigation, and it is cheaper to act.It has been two hours since his death, and he still skinned and dug out his heart before he was alive. There must have been a lot of noise, but none of the hidden guards he sent noticed. No matter how you look at it, this matter is unusual.People from the Zhao Mansion couldn't find any results after trying to find out.
The old man also had his own considerations, so he quickly refused.People have been killed frequently in the mansion recently, and Zhao Yusong had committed adultery with the Zou family before. If the Ninth Prince, who is so thorough and insightful in everything, is really asked to investigate, why not pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and bring out all those scandals?Fortunately, for Youshu's sake, His Highness the Ninth Highness did not intend to intervene by force, and it can be remedied!Therefore, he can't report anything to the official.
Seeing that the second master and the third master looked at his sweetheart with suspicious eyes from time to time, and their expressions were extremely unfriendly, the Ninth Prince added, "If you are worried, this king will send an assistant to conduct an autopsy. He is very strict and will not talk about this Spread the word." Without waiting for the old man to refuse, he sent away a guard beside him.
The guard who came with him immediately fled into the night, and turned around after a while, holding a middle-aged man with disheveled hair in obscene clothes and trousers in his hand.Everyone took a closer look and found that it was Dali Siqing himself.Everyone in the world knows that he is unselfish and discerning. He can identify the cause of death at a glance from an ordinary corpse, and he will never disregard justice for the sake of pleasing the powerful.He also pointed at the Ninth Prince's nose several times and cursed him, saying that he was violent and unworthy of being a crown prince.
When he came for an autopsy, even the old man did not dare to question the truth of his words.
After hearing what happened, Dali Temple Minister was quite ready to move, but the national law said: In such a case, unless someone reports it to the official, the Yamen is not allowed to intervene without authorization. This is respect for the patriarchal clan.Although national law is higher than patriarchal law, it cannot be suppressed uniformly.During his autopsy, the hidden guard had already left the Zhao Mansion with another broken body, found a desolate area, burned it to ashes, and then buried it.
"This is a female corpse, aged between fifteen and five feet three inches tall. The time of death did not exceed two hours. The cause of death was skinning and heart-gouging." His judgment was no different from that of Youshu.
Skinning alive, heart-digging, what kind of cruel and ruthless person could do such a cruel thing?Everyone looked at Youshu together.
Before Youshu had time to argue, the Ninth Prince had already said, "Youshu was on duty in the palace today, and she didn't return until three o'clock in the morning. After dinner, she went straight into the house and didn't come out again. And this woman died two hours ago. And he died in the South Garden of the Zhao Mansion, no matter how you counted, Youshu didn't have time to kill. The suspect should be eliminated first, and then searched in the Zhao Mansion. And before that, should you check it out? The identity of the deceased?"
The Minister of Dali Temple nodded in praise and said, "Your Highness Ninth Highness is right. Or, leave this matter to me?"
The old man immediately dispelled his doubts about his grandson and flatly refused.Dali Siqing wanted to persuade him again, but was forcibly carried away by the hidden guards.The Ninth Prince squeezed the soft palm of his sweetheart, and said, "I know Youshu's temperament best. Not to mention killing people, she dare not even step on an ant. She has a soft heart. You can check it out, but you can't frame it. Otherwise, this king will not give the Zhao family face. Don’t think that this king stays in the palace every day, so you think that this king is blind. What scandalous things Zhao Yusong did last night, you know it in your heart, and this king is also clear. It’s just too lazy to care about it.”
The old man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in trepidation.The second master was even more terrified, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.
Youshu didn't think she was a good person, but when her master said that, she blushed, feeling very uncomfortable, but also inexplicably sweet.Is the master protecting me unconditionally and trusting me for no reason?Thinking of this, he held his master's fingertips instead and shook them lightly.
The two left hand in hand, you sent me to the gate of the palace, and I sent you back, after a while they both turned around.At this time, the old man had sent someone to secretly count in the mansion, but no one was found missing, and no one heard any suspicious noises.
Who can resist being skinned and heartbroken alive?Who can not cry?It doesn't make sense that no one has witnessed or heard about such a huge Zhao family, right?The more the old man thought about it, the more weird he felt, and when he recalled the sudden sudden death of Mrs. Zou, his hairs stood on end.Could it be that the Zhao Mansion was contaminated with some kind of evil?
Thinking of this, he rushed to Zhenguo Temple overnight to ask the eminent monk to come back to do it, but forgot about Youshu's murder of Taohong, and those who knew were afraid of his ruthless methods, so they kept tight-lipped and stayed away from it.
Youshu worried all night, and when she woke up the next day, she was happy to find that her parents treated her as before.
Days passed, but the murderer was still not caught, and the identity of the female corpse was also found out, so in the end, nothing could be done.Fortunately, nothing strange happened to the Zhao family, and the Ninth Prince did not tell Princess Mingzhu about Zhao Yusong's adultery with his sister-in-law, so their marriage was finally saved.
While the Zhao family was busy preparing for the wedding, an earth-shattering event also happened in the court.The other four countries did not know when they joined hands to garrison troops on the northwest border, saying that the nine princes of Xia Qiguo were descended from a demon star and would cause disasters to the living beings, and asked Emperor Zhongkang to kill them and set up another prince, otherwise they would send troops to crusade.
The total number of coalition forces is at least one million, while the garrison on the northwest border is only 30. If a war really starts, the major border towns will be pierced by iron cavalry one by one, and they will fight outside the gate of Shangjing.The danger of national subjugation is at hand.
Before Emperor Zhongkang made a statement, many courtiers stood up and begged him to hand over the Ninth Prince for the sake of the common people, but some courtiers bluntly said that if the Ninth Prince is not in the will of several countries, even if he dies, the coalition forces will still send troops. fight!
Emperor Zhongkang seemed to be thinking about it, but in fact he had already made up his mind.Jiu'er can't hand it over, if he wants to fight, he will fight, and he will not surrender to the death.But what made him feel chilling was that all the princes and the empress stood up and persuaded him to give the Ninth Prince to death immediately with affection and reason.
Emperor Zhongkang was so angry that his fingertips were trembling, he nodded at the sixth prince, then at Princess Mingzhu, finally looked at the queen, and asked sharply, "It's fine for others, one of you is his direct brother, one is his direct sister, and the other is Did his biological mother not care about his life at all?"
"Then have you ever cherished the common people? Cherished the common people in the world?" The queen asked back.
When the emperor and empress were arguing endlessly, the Ninth Prince and Youshu were practicing calligraphy in the study.The dark guards came over frequently, reporting the movements in the court and everyone's reactions one by one.
The Ninth Prince wrote the word "Minzhi" and said with a smile, "Youshu, this is my name, you remember it." Fu wrote the word "Long Ye" again, and sighed, "This is my name, because Father believed that I was the reincarnation of Zong Shengdi, and he was afraid of offending his name, so he chose this word for me. Only you and father know about the entire Xia Qiguo."
These words were quite farewell, which made Youshu's heart tremble, and she quickly squeezed her master's arm to persuade, "Master, don't listen to their nonsense, they will not truce after you die, but will drive straight in and carve up Xia Qi. There is no absolute Interests, the four countries will not abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate closely, and this interest is undoubtedly Xia Qi's great rivers and mountains, rich land. Let's go to the northwest, go to war, and I will help you kill all the 100 million troops. I Said that I can do anything for you, sooner or later, even the stars in the sky can be plucked for you."
The Ninth Prince didn't intend to kill him at first.What he wanted was the young man's promise of never giving up, and his sorrow disappeared immediately, and he laughed loudly, "Okay, go to the northwest and go to war. Emperor Zongsheng can travel all over Kyushu, and I can also dominate the situation." Even though there are many difficulties, Mountains of swords and seas of fire, with you by my side, I have no fear.
The Ninth Prince came quietly, they didn't know about it at first, but because of the incident of the ghost hitting the wall, a group of people wandered around the yard for a long time, burning paper money to beg the Bodhisattva, and knocking on the door wall with a stick, the commotion was very loud, It's hard not to know.Originally thought that the news of Zhao Youshu's acceptance of the house would be passed to His Highness Ninth Prince's ears tomorrow, so that he could see the big room's jokes, but he didn't expect His Highness to come down in such a timely manner that there was a scene of catching an adulterer in bed.
The fun is even greater!
Don't say that each house sent people to inquire about the situation, even the old lady and old lady in the main courtyard paid close attention to this matter, and then received the shocking news one after another.
The second wife jumped up and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't seem to hear clearly?"
Zhao Yusong also frowned and stared, with a puzzled expression.They clearly heard it clearly, but they couldn't believe it.
The maidservant knelt down with a thud, "The fifth young master cut Taohong alive, ripped open her belly, and the flesh flew everywhere! This servant saw it with her own eyes!" Recalling the bloody scene just now, she still felt weak in her hands and feet, unable to stand, otherwise It's just that you don't need to kneel down to answer the second wife.
"Cut to death? How could he cut people to death? How did Tao Hong provoke him?" The second wife still couldn't believe her ears.All the young and old in each house stared at a stunning beauty like Tao Hong. If she hadn't wanted to clean up the big house, Zhao Youshu wouldn't have been cheap.
But now, the old woman said that Zhao Youshu didn't enjoy her, but ripped her open. Is there something wrong with his mind?Is he still human?Only at this moment did she remember what the housekeeper secretly told her yesterday, saying that the fifth young master had entered Fanghua Garden, inspected Mrs. Zou's body, and then cut off his tongue.
At that time, the housekeeper told her to be careful of the fifth son, and even asserted that this son was not an ordinary person.Now she finally understands what is so extraordinary.
"Then how did His Royal Highness react?" The second wife managed to calm down and asked in a low voice.I also want to know that His Highness Ninth Highness is also a murderer. As long as Zhao Youshu doesn't physically betray him, no matter how many outrageous things the other party does, he won't care, right?
Sure enough, the maid replied, "His Royal Highness Nine has an ordinary attitude. He just walked in and locked the door. He didn't hear any scolding or noise."
"Go, ask again!" The second wife waved her sleeves.
The servant woman was very frightened, but she didn't dare to disobey her orders, so she went slowly.If she had known that Fifth Young Master was such an evil god, she would never have come to the Dafang as an errand.Even if he was willing to kill a beauty like Tao Hong, wouldn't others be more dangerous?Never expected that the fifth young master's obedient and docile skin would wrap such a fierce beast.
The more the maid thought about it, the more frightened she was, and she planned to finish this job and not send any news to the other houses in the future.Otherwise, if the Wang family can spare herself, the fifth son will not be able to bear it.
Not only the second room was horrified beyond words, but the other rooms were also twitching and bewildered.The old man was especially angry, and wished he could bring his grandson for a trial immediately.The Zhao family takes "loyalty, benevolence and filial piety" as their family motto throughout the ages, and there is absolutely no reason to wantonly kill servants. Even the only son of the eldest family must impose the most severe family law.
But since His Highness Ninth Prince was still there, he had no choice but to restrain himself, thinking about taking him into the ancestral hall after His Highness left and disposing of it secretly.

Just at this time, Wang woke up leisurely, looked at the roof of the tent and then at the husband, and then said frightenedly, "I just had a nightmare!"
"It's not a nightmare, it's real." Zhao Shilang helped her up, and cruelly pierced the reality.
Mrs. Wang froze, and then cried in a low voice, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have forced my son to take the room, otherwise this kind of thing wouldn't have happened. If he doesn't like it, just say it, what to do, you should be a man People..." After finishing speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, and said anxiously, "Master, how many people have seen this matter? Hurry up, hurry up, seal the yard, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! This matter must not be spread, wait a few days God, let's just say that Taohong fell ill and died!"
In the end, the instinct to protect her son prevailed, and she began to consider more practical issues.
"It's late, I saw you fainted, I was very anxious, and I was worried about my son and His Highness the Ninth Prince, so I forgot to control the servants. Now, I know what I should know, and I know what I shouldn't know. Let's seal who Mouth?" Zhao Shilang pointed to the main courtyard and said worriedly, "Our son is not a consort of the princess, and the old man will not protect him. For the sake of the Zhao family's reputation, and to show his fairness and benevolence, I'm afraid he will take our son."
"What happened to the princess son-in-law? The princess son-in-law can be exempted from prostitution, wives and concubines, and won't be held accountable for harming people's lives. What kind of justice is it? Pooh, a group of pious people who are trying to gain fame! Our son is still the princess!" In order to save his son's life, the king Shi couldn't care about anything, and opened his mouth to admit his relationship with His Highness Ninth Prince.

"Father, mother, I..." Youshu was in a nervous mood, her eyes were flushed, and she lowered her head as soon as she said a word, as if she didn't dare to see anyone.
Mrs. Wang pulled him over, slapped him twice, and cursed, "You son of a bitch, how could you rashly do something at home and let people watch it? Are you stupid? You say you are stupid!" Not stupid?"
What do you mean?Co-authoring is not allowed at home, but outside?It is enough to co-author without being seen by others, but it is not enough to be seen by others?Is there anything you teach your kids?No wonder such an evil god was raised!The servants who were placed by each house were invariably slanderous, but they also became more afraid of Dafang's family.
Zhao Zhizhou wanted to say something, and was about to open his mouth, but he heard His Ninth Prince said slowly, "Mrs. Zhao, you have to train the servants at home well in the future. Some people are very unruly. To scare people in front of you, or to inform others to betray the master and gain profits. Some maidservants with higher hearts than the sky actually put their ideas on the king and tried to murder the king. No, the king has already dealt with one for you. It can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys."
He pointed behind him, and only then did Wang and Zhao Shilang realize that four guards appeared in the house at some point, carrying a corpse covered with a black cloth.
The two of them immediately realized that His Highness the Ninth Prince had taken the murder on his own shoulders.He said that the maid was trying to murder him, even if others knew the truth, how dare they refute it?Is it possible to offend the high-ranking prince for a trivial servant?Even the old man can't say anything.
The two were overjoyed, and thanked His Highness the Ninth Prince repeatedly, saying that what he taught was that he would strictly control his subordinates in the future.
Just at this time, the old man came to see him with the support of his sons.Since His Highness Ninth Prince appeared in such a big way, they couldn't pretend not to know, whether or not they could see it was His Highness Ninth's business, but whether they came or not was their attitude.His Highness the Ninth Highness kicked people out a few times before, and it was the same this time.
A few people had planned to kneel down, meaning to go back and wait for His Highness to return to the palace later, and then called Youshu to interrogate and deal with it. Unexpectedly, His Highness sent someone to call them in, pointing at the corpse covered with black cloth and saying that A servant girl tried to murder him, but was beheaded by the guards, and ordered them to clean up the family tradition, so as not to cause more trouble.
This is to clean up the big house and the family, and put the shit pot on the heads of other houses instead.The old man dared not speak out, but the second old man was extremely upset, and was about to speak up, when he saw a servant scrambling in and yelling, "The old man is not good, a stripper was found in the dry well in Nanyuan." Skinned, dug out corpse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several black cats suddenly jumped out and rushed towards the four hidden guards.The dark guard dodged reflexively, but accidentally knocked off the corpse, and most of the black cloth covering it was lifted off.
"This, what is this?" The old man almost fainted after just one glance, not to mention the few masters.Horrified, several black cats ran to the corpse to feast on it. One of them took half a broken heart in its mouth and quickly burrowed into the bushes.
Youshu had a bad intuition, and the black cat was nowhere to be seen when she was going to chase it. After thinking about it for a while, she had to press the matter down.He pinched the corner of his master's clothes and said in a low voice, "Go to Nanyuan to have a look."
The Ninth Prince had exactly this intention.Recently, strange things happened frequently in the Zhao Mansion. First, it was the inexplicable explosion of the Zou family, then the ghost hit the wall, and then this skinned corpse. Could it be that Youshu's killing of Taohong was related to these things?But what would be the connection?He guessed secretly, and then led the boy to Nanyuan first.
The few people who turned their backs and didn't dare to look at Tao Hong's body regained their senses and hurriedly followed.It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized, but today is really a coincidence, and they can't hide it even if they want to.
Nanyuan is an abandoned small courtyard with overgrown weeds and dilapidated eaves, few people come here on weekdays.Today, for some reason, many cats and dogs ran into the yard suddenly, whining around a dry well, as if they were salivating, and this attracted a servant to check, and then they were so frightened that they lost control on the spot.
At present, the cats and dogs have been driven away, and the corpses have also been carried out. The butler led a few more courageous servants to guard not far away.
The Ninth Prince ignored them, and directly lifted the black cloth to examine the corpse, not to mention showing shock, without even frowning.Youshu also had a flat expression. She picked up a branch to pick at the corpse, and said slowly, "The female corpse is fifteen years old and five feet three inches tall. She was still alive when her skin was skinned and her heart was dug out. She died within two hours." Judging from this, this corpse is exactly Tao Hong who was killed by a monster.
"How do you know that she was still alive when she was skinned and heart gouged out?" Ninth Prince asked curiously.
Youshu pointed to the blood hole in his chest and explained, "If a person is still alive, the skin will be elastic. If the heart is taken out, the flesh around the wound will naturally roll up, just like this." He touched the bloody wound with a tree branch, As for the real identity of the corpse, he knew it in his heart but he couldn't tell, because no one would believe that there were two Taohongs in the world, and the latter killed the former, took her skin as his own, and even ate her heart alive .
The Ninth Prince nodded and praised, "My family, Youshu, is very knowledgeable."
Is it because he has killed many people that he has such insight?Afterwards, the old man and others who followed were slandering in their hearts. They only glanced at the corpse before turning their backs, their stomachs full of acid.
The Ninth Prince pulled Youshu up and said, "Do you want to investigate this murder case by yourself or report it to the officials? If you investigate it yourself, I will not interfere. If you report it to the officials, I will investigate it myself." Naturally, he attaches great importance to this matter, saying that he will not interfere, but in fact, he has changed from an open investigation to a secret investigation, and it is cheaper to act.It has been two hours since his death, and he still skinned and dug out his heart before he was alive. There must have been a lot of noise, but none of the hidden guards he sent noticed. No matter how you look at it, this matter is unusual.People from the Zhao Mansion couldn't find any results after trying to find out.
The old man also had his own considerations, so he quickly refused.People have been killed frequently in the mansion recently, and Zhao Yusong had committed adultery with the Zou family before. If the Ninth Prince, who is so thorough and insightful in everything, is really asked to investigate, why not pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and bring out all those scandals?Fortunately, for Youshu's sake, His Highness the Ninth Highness did not intend to intervene by force, and it can be remedied!Therefore, he can't report anything to the official.
Seeing that the second master and the third master looked at his sweetheart with suspicious eyes from time to time, and their expressions were extremely unfriendly, the Ninth Prince added, "If you are worried, this king will send an assistant to conduct an autopsy. He is very strict and will not talk about this Spread the word." Without waiting for the old man to refuse, he sent away a guard beside him.
The guard who came with him immediately fled into the night, and turned around after a while, holding a middle-aged man with disheveled hair in obscene clothes and trousers in his hand.Everyone took a closer look and found that it was Dali Siqing himself.Everyone in the world knows that he is unselfish and discerning. He can identify the cause of death at a glance from an ordinary corpse, and he will never disregard justice for the sake of pleasing the powerful.He also pointed at the Ninth Prince's nose several times and cursed him, saying that he was violent and unworthy of being a crown prince.
When he came for an autopsy, even the old man did not dare to question the truth of his words.
After hearing what happened, Dali Temple Minister was quite ready to move, but the national law said: In such a case, unless someone reports it to the official, the Yamen is not allowed to intervene without authorization. This is respect for the patriarchal clan.Although national law is higher than patriarchal law, it cannot be suppressed uniformly.During his autopsy, the hidden guard had already left the Zhao Mansion with another broken body, found a desolate area, burned it to ashes, and then buried it.
"This is a female corpse, aged between fifteen and five feet three inches tall. The time of death did not exceed two hours. The cause of death was skinning and heart-gouging." His judgment was no different from that of Youshu.
Skinning alive, heart-digging, what kind of cruel and ruthless person could do such a cruel thing?Everyone looked at Youshu together.
Before Youshu had time to argue, the Ninth Prince had already said, "Youshu was on duty in the palace today, and she didn't return until three o'clock in the morning. After dinner, she went straight into the house and didn't come out again. And this woman died two hours ago. And he died in the South Garden of the Zhao Mansion, no matter how you counted, Youshu didn't have time to kill. The suspect should be eliminated first, and then searched in the Zhao Mansion. And before that, should you check it out? The identity of the deceased?"
The Minister of Dali Temple nodded in praise and said, "Your Highness Ninth Highness is right. Or, leave this matter to me?"
The old man immediately dispelled his doubts about his grandson and flatly refused.Dali Siqing wanted to persuade him again, but was forcibly carried away by the hidden guards.The Ninth Prince squeezed the soft palm of his sweetheart, and said, "I know Youshu's temperament best. Not to mention killing people, she dare not even step on an ant. She has a soft heart. You can check it out, but you can't frame it. Otherwise, this king will not give the Zhao family face. Don’t think that this king stays in the palace every day, so you think that this king is blind. What scandalous things Zhao Yusong did last night, you know it in your heart, and this king is also clear. It’s just too lazy to care about it.”
The old man was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in trepidation.The second master was even more terrified, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.
Youshu didn't think she was a good person, but when her master said that, she blushed, feeling very uncomfortable, but also inexplicably sweet.Is the master protecting me unconditionally and trusting me for no reason?Thinking of this, he held his master's fingertips instead and shook them lightly.
The two left hand in hand, you sent me to the gate of the palace, and I sent you back, after a while they both turned around.At this time, the old man had sent someone to secretly count in the mansion, but no one was found missing, and no one heard any suspicious noises.
Who can resist being skinned and heartbroken alive?Who can not cry?It doesn't make sense that no one has witnessed or heard about such a huge Zhao family, right?The more the old man thought about it, the more weird he felt, and when he recalled the sudden sudden death of Mrs. Zou, his hairs stood on end.Could it be that the Zhao Mansion was contaminated with some kind of evil?
Thinking of this, he rushed to Zhenguo Temple overnight to ask the eminent monk to come back to do it, but forgot about Youshu's murder of Taohong, and those who knew were afraid of his ruthless methods, so they kept tight-lipped and stayed away from it.
Youshu worried all night, and when she woke up the next day, she was happy to find that her parents treated her as before.
Days passed, but the murderer was still not caught, and the identity of the female corpse was also found out, so in the end, nothing could be done.Fortunately, nothing strange happened to the Zhao family, and the Ninth Prince did not tell Princess Mingzhu about Zhao Yusong's adultery with his sister-in-law, so their marriage was finally saved.
While the Zhao family was busy preparing for the wedding, an earth-shattering event also happened in the court.The other four countries did not know when they joined hands to garrison troops on the northwest border, saying that the nine princes of Xia Qiguo were descended from a demon star and would cause disasters to the living beings, and asked Emperor Zhongkang to kill them and set up another prince, otherwise they would send troops to crusade.
The total number of coalition forces is at least one million, while the garrison on the northwest border is only 30. If a war really starts, the major border towns will be pierced by iron cavalry one by one, and they will fight outside the gate of Shangjing.The danger of national subjugation is at hand.
Before Emperor Zhongkang made a statement, many courtiers stood up and begged him to hand over the Ninth Prince for the sake of the common people, but some courtiers bluntly said that if the Ninth Prince is not in the will of several countries, even if he dies, the coalition forces will still send troops. fight!
Emperor Zhongkang seemed to be thinking about it, but in fact he had already made up his mind.Jiu'er can't hand it over, if he wants to fight, he will fight, and he will not surrender to the death.But what made him feel chilling was that all the princes and the empress stood up and persuaded him to give the Ninth Prince to death immediately with affection and reason.
Emperor Zhongkang was so angry that his fingertips were trembling, he nodded at the sixth prince, then at Princess Mingzhu, finally looked at the queen, and asked sharply, "It's fine for others, one of you is his direct brother, one is his direct sister, and the other is Did his biological mother not care about his life at all?"
"Then have you ever cherished the common people? Cherished the common people in the world?" The queen asked back.
When the emperor and empress were arguing endlessly, the Ninth Prince and Youshu were practicing calligraphy in the study.The dark guards came over frequently, reporting the movements in the court and everyone's reactions one by one.
The Ninth Prince wrote the word "Minzhi" and said with a smile, "Youshu, this is my name, you remember it." Fu wrote the word "Long Ye" again, and sighed, "This is my name, because Father believed that I was the reincarnation of Zong Shengdi, and he was afraid of offending his name, so he chose this word for me. Only you and father know about the entire Xia Qiguo."
These words were quite farewell, which made Youshu's heart tremble, and she quickly squeezed her master's arm to persuade, "Master, don't listen to their nonsense, they will not truce after you die, but will drive straight in and carve up Xia Qi. There is no absolute Interests, the four countries will not abandon their previous suspicions and cooperate closely, and this interest is undoubtedly Xia Qi's great rivers and mountains, rich land. Let's go to the northwest, go to war, and I will help you kill all the 100 million troops. I Said that I can do anything for you, sooner or later, even the stars in the sky can be plucked for you."
The Ninth Prince didn't intend to kill him at first.What he wanted was the young man's promise of never giving up, and his sorrow disappeared immediately, and he laughed loudly, "Okay, go to the northwest and go to war. Emperor Zongsheng can travel all over Kyushu, and I can also dominate the situation." Even though there are many difficulties, Mountains of swords and seas of fire, with you by my side, I have no fear.
