Fu Mingrui immediately strode to the side of the horse. If what Yunyao said was true, then saving people was like putting out a fire. But if it involved the rich and powerful, Fu Mingrui would not make a big fuss.
Because he still didn't know what kind of powerful person this noble was. After handling so many cases, Fu Mingrui knew that when a powerful person committed a crime, it would cause more trouble than an ordinary person. At that time, it would even affect the reputation of the capital and anger the emperor, and it would be difficult to end it later.
Therefore, the bigger the case, the more low-key it will be. Low-key is also to protect the reputation of the capital, and to avoid causing unnecessary panic and letting those with ulterior motives take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble to the capital.
The capital is a hodgepodge of good and bad people, so maintaining stability is of utmost importance.
When Fu Mingrui heard that it was a serial murder, his heart sank. Especially, he was most confused that he didn't know about such a serious case. Was the enemy too cunning, or was the government in the capital negligent? How could these people commit crimes under the nose of Fu Mingrui, the leader of the Eight Gates, and serially kill young girls!
Ultimately, it was Fu Mingrui who failed in his duty!
When Fu Mingrui and Yuchi Jingbei ran out, the constables on horseback were already standing in line in front of the Eight Gates. Zhao Cheng had two horses in his hands, one for Wang Quan and one for Yuchi Jingbei.
Fu Mingrui looked at the ice-blue hairpin in his hand. How could this hairpin lead the way
Suddenly, the hairpin in his hand felt a pulling force. If Fu Mingrui hadn't been holding the hairpin at this moment, the hairpin would have really flown out!
Fu Mingrui was secretly surprised, and immediately whipped up the whip: "Let's go!"
"yes!"
On the deserted street, Fu Mingrui and his group left the capital in a low-key manner!
Yun Yao and Fat Buddha slowly descended. The dark pot was the best invisible in the dark night. They could see everything clearly from high in the sky. The two teams sent Li Juanlan and Lin Shiyue into the depths of the mansion one after the other.
Immediately afterwards, behind a hidden rockery and forest to the east of the house, a light appeared. Someone had lit up the place. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an altar!
The altar is hidden behind a circular wall, and the passage to this secret place is hidden in the rockery.
The entire altar is round in shape, with square stone tablets standing around it. Strange patterns are carved on the stone tablets. The stone tablets surround a circular altar, which is also carved with various patterns, including five-pointed star patterns.
“Who came up with these things?” Yun Yao looked at them and shook her head. Those runes made no sense at all and couldn’t even summon a ghost.
"Haha, of course it's a charlatan." The Fat Buddha clasped his hands together and smiled, "The people are ignorant and don't want these gods and demons to come out, so they can't be cheated of their money." The Fat Buddha smiled and shook his head. Even in the demon summoning formation that he knew, the one below was not included.
Yun Yao nodded and said, "That's right. When they are sick, they don't trust doctors, but trust witches. Don't they go to your temple to ask for incense ashes to eat?"
Fat Buddha's face was embarrassed for a moment: "This... is to make them feel at ease. For those who come to ask for incense ash, we will tell them that they need to take medicine. This disease needs medicine to treat it. The incense ash is just the blessing of the Bodhisattva to make the medicine more effective. This will make them feel at ease, and the disease will heal faster."
"Hmph!" Yun Yao turned her face away, looking down on the Fat Buddha.
It was another old slave who lit up the entire altar, and then left in a hurry. Zhou Hu and others, carrying Li Juanlan, arrived first and placed the unconscious Li Juanlan on the altar.
Zhou Hu looked at the unconscious Li Juanlan with a lewd smile, still feeling a little guilty, he quickly looked around and straightened Li Juanlan's skirt.
Zhang Shujun stood at the entrance of the altar, his whole body tense, his face pale, and sweat broke out involuntarily. It seemed that once he stepped into this place, he would see extremely horrible things and hear horrible sounds. However, as Zhou Hu said, some things, once started, cannot be turned back.
That year, he was immersed in the excitement and stimulation he had never experienced before. The stimulation brought by that sin was far beyond what the prostitutes in the brothel could give him.
But he didn't expect that after that... they picked up the knife...
His body began to tremble and he began to be entangled in nightmares, but time and time again, he could not help but follow them. He could not get rid of the pain and pleasure brought to him by this sin and excitement. He could not explain why this feeling made him so addicted.
But now, he was really tortured to the extreme by this feeling. Looking at the girl lying on the altar, his legs began to tremble and waves of nausea kept rising up, making it difficult for him to stand here any longer. Even the air began to be filled with the familiar smell of blood.
"Dredging?" Suddenly, someone came up behind him.
Zhang Shujun turned around with a chill all over his body, and saw Li Dada also carrying a girl. He was surprised: "You!"
"Hey, the president said that for the first anniversary, it must be the best." As he said that, Li Dada gave Zhang Shujun a mysterious smile, and entered the altar carrying the mysterious girl wrapped tightly in a cloak on his shoulders.
Zhou Hu was also surprised when he saw it: "How come you guys also brought one back?" Zhou Hu immediately laughed obscenely, "Oh~~ Are you guys planning to give Lord Evil God a snack tonight?"
Lin Huohuo also walked out: "Do you know who that is?"
Li Dada gently placed the girl on the altar and smiled mysteriously at Zhou Hu: "This woman is a top-notch one. We were reluctant to even touch her along the way, just to show our filial piety to the Evil God." After Li Dada finished speaking, he lifted his cloak, and immediately, Lin Shiyue's beautiful face was exposed to the air under the moonlight.
Immediately, Zhou Hu and Zhang Shujun who were standing beside the altar stood there in shock.
"It's really Shiyue!" Yun Yao stood up angrily in mid-air, "These are a bunch of perverts! Bastards!" Yun Yao gritted her teeth!
Little Lettuce lay on the edge of the pot with his hands, revealing only his eyes covered by silk cloth. In his eyes, there were only the five figures entangled in blood. Those balls of blood were like walking red maggots, making his whole body creepy. Among them, the largest ball of maggots was slowly coming from one side.
Little Lettuce was so frightened that he quickly shrank back into the black pot, not daring to look at it any more. That person was the real devil. No matter how scary the evil ghosts he saw in normal times were, he was used to seeing them. But this person made him feel from the bottom of his heart what evil was and what it meant to kill people without hesitation.
"Little Lettuce, can you take a look around to see if there are any dead bodies?" Fat Buddha stroked Little Lettuce's head gently, knowing that he was very scared now, but he was best at finding dead bodies. If these people were really the murderers of the girl, they must find the body.
If Fu Mingrui and his men come but cannot find the bodies, then the five young masters will at most be charged with kidnapping a young girl, or at worst, kidnapping an official's daughter. They will not be sentenced to death, but will be exiled to the frontier for a few years, and their father will bring them back. (To be continued)
