The ground was covered in blood, a sea of red. There were some smashed stalls nearby, and several passers-by with blood on their bodies. As for the other clutter, it was not that big, and there was nothing wrapped in red.
"What...what happened here?" Jingzhao Yin wiped the sweat from his sweat and asked anxiously.
Yue Wenhan took the towel handed over by the yamen runner, wiped his hands, raised his eyes and looked at Jingzhao Yin who hurried over: "Master Gu, someone has splashed dog blood here."
"What...what?" Jingzhao Yin repeated in disbelief. He looked at the place and asked stutteringly, "Then...where is the dowry?"
Dog blood? Black dog blood to ward off evil spirits, is this really crazy
Lord Gu, the Jingzhao Yin, had come to see this place specially before. For safety reasons, he had even walked this road. The wedding procession from Shangshu Qu's mansion to Prince Ying's mansion would pass here.
"The dowry team changed its route just now and didn't come here." Yue Wenhan said in a deep voice.
"Haven't you encountered these?" Lord Gu opened his mouth and asked anxiously.
"No." Yue Wenhan's words made Master Gu breathe a sigh of relief, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "That's good, that's good!"
He stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He almost fainted after hearing the news. If he made any more moves, not only would he lose his official hat, but also his life.
The black hat on his head was already loose on the previous occasion, and now it was just temporarily on his head.
"Someone here has prepared dog blood early and hung it there. There is a big hole on it, and the dog blood hanging on it just spilled down." Yue Wenhan pointed his finger upwards and said.
Lord Gu looked upwards in the direction of his gesture, and immediately saw a line in the middle of the two streets. It looked like there were some red ribbons or something hanging on it, and it should have been tied up long ago, but he didn't expect that it had been used by someone.
In the middle, there are some big flowers made of red silk, which are very beautiful. Along the way, many shopkeepers would tie them like this, not only to please the King of England, but also to get good luck. But at this time, there is a red bag next to the red silk, and there is a hole in the bag, and blood can be seen dripping down.
Lord Gu narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the bag above. It didn't look like an ordinary bag, but more like a leather one, facing the middle of the street.
"The bag was tied early, and it was full of dog blood. Originally, we wanted to wait for the dowry team to come and puncture it. Fortunately, the person who wanted to do it secretly was in a hurry and punctured the dog blood bag before the dowry team arrived." Yue Wenhan said with a serious face.
“Who… who did this?” Lord Gu said with shaking hands, his face pale with fear. He almost lost his head.
"I don't know. It happened too quickly. But some people still saw someone squeezing out of the crowd and running away." Yue Wenhan also helped the Qu family transport the dowry today. He brought some people with him and was also protecting them in secret. Therefore, he arrived the fastest. The people he brought were nearby. When they came over, they saw the crowd in chaos. The dowry team in the distance stopped and did not come over.
In full view of everyone, the fleeing man leaped into a pavilion on the side and then disappeared into the pavilion.
When I checked, there was a back door, but there were many alleys behind the back door.
Meaning, said with a heavy face.
This thing is not big. If it falls into the dowry, who can immediately find it from the mess of dowry
If someone else tries to take advantage of the situation and bumps into the chaotic crowd, this thing will disappear without a sound.
Lord Gu was now only thankful that the person who had done the action had made a wrong estimate and had punctured the bag before the dowry arrived. The guards of the King of England's Palace had also reacted quickly and immediately disrupted the team, causing the entire team to stop and calming down the crowd of onlookers, which led to the panicked jump and being discovered.
"Lord Yue, what should we do now?" Lord Gu felt that the thing in his sleeve was worth more than a thousand gold coins, so he dared not make any rash decisions and asked Yue Wenhan for advice.
This person came earlier than him, knew more than him, and seemed to be very intelligent.
"This matter... neither of us can make the decision, we have to send it to a place where we can make the decision." Yue Wenhan suggested after a moment of hesitation.
"Okay, okay, yes, send it over. This is not something I can control." Lord Gu nodded repeatedly. He just wanted to send this hot item away with a legitimate reason. He was just a small Jingzhao Yin and really couldn't control such things.
"Master Gu, where do you think this matter should be sent?" Yue Wenhan asked.
"Send... send... send it to the Ministry of Justice. What do you think, Lord Yue?" Lord Gu rolled his eyes, trying desperately to think of a government office that might be related.
"The Ministry of Justice is still too slow!" Yue Wenhan shook his head and sighed to himself, "Although we have just caught the man, if we intensify the investigation, there may still be a chance to catch him and find the mastermind. But if we go too late, this matter... will not be easy to explain."
These words made the hairs on Lord Gu's back stand up.
If he can't find anyone to handle this matter, will he have to take the blame again? He can't take the blame again. The Yue Wenhan in front of him is obviously not the main force this time. He heard that the British princess is his cousin, and he just came here to help privately. Then the blame will be his.
No, we can’t report to the Ministry of Justice first. We have to find someone quickly and find the person.
"West Prison, report to West Prison first, let them find someone first, and then report to the Ministry of Justice." Lord Gu murmured. Finally, he thought of a place. If there is a place that can change people's lives, there is really no other place except the West Prison. It is the most efficient place.
"Sir Gu, let me help you go to the Ministry of Justice today!" Yue Wenhan thought for a moment and bowed to Sir Gu. He was on holiday today and it was not official business, so it made sense for him to help or not. Sir Gu was very moved by what he said at this moment. After thanking him repeatedly, he took his men and hurried to the West Prison.
Yue Wenhan went to the Ministry of Justice for him, so he didn't have to worry about the Ministry of Justice. Going to the Western Prison was a headache. He didn't know whether the Western Prison would take over the matter immediately. He reached out and touched the thing in his sleeve, and felt that it was not a big problem. Not to mention that this thing was of great importance, the King of England was in charge of the Western Prison before.
Even if the people in the West Prison don't give face to him, they have to give face to His Majesty the King of England. Thinking of this, Lord Gu felt a little relieved.
Yue Wenhan didn't leave in a hurry. He looked up at the bag that was still dripping with blood, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his lips, and then he walked away...
Other people’s games can actually be used...
