Wen Qingzhu smiled: "As expected, Qian Yong will be dealt with by you, and Sheng Tongzhi will be dealt with by me."
"You solve it?" Jing Yinuo thought about the previous rumors about Wen Qingzhu, and an unpleasant association emerged in his mind.
"Don't look at me like this. Rumors are rumors. Everything should be done impartially. If Sheng Tongzhi really reaches out too far and commits an unforgivable crime, I will personally send him to the capital for trial instead of executing him on the spot!"
Wen Qingzhu's explanation made Jing Yinuo even more worried.
"That's very good. I hope Madam can keep her word!" Jing Yinuo held up his hand to express his gratitude.
Wen Qingzhu smiled, turned around and went into the house.
She had to think carefully about the origin of the pair of Bone Mountains and what happened behind them.
As night fell, today's dinner was brought to Wen Qingzhu.
After finishing his meal in a hurry, Wen Qingzhu began to write and plan.
She came to Jinzhou not long ago, but she encountered one thing after another.
First of all, there was the identity card that surpassed Daqi Road Yin, and then the gangsters came for Jing Yinuo. After returning to the city, Lu Tao found that the people at the bottom here were living in a strange state, and then Yuan Han discovered that underneath The water storage channel, and finally the Baigu Mountain at the bottom of the well in the side courtyard house...
Water storage channel, Baigu Mountain.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly recalled the posture of those bones. They were all with their heads up and their bodies down. There were also many people with their hands raised, struggling upwards!
water! Bottom of the well! Bones!
These three pieces of information connected everything, and Wen Qingzhu suddenly understood!
The reason why those bones at the bottom of the well remained in that position was because the water came up and they tried to escape, but in the end they all drowned!
Why did such a large number of people die
There are also those people who have great trust in Qianjia Trading Company and respect Qian Yong to a level that cannot be blasphemed.
Just when he thought of this, Wen Qingzhu started to connect something in his mind, and Xi'er's hurried shouting came from outside.
"Miss! Linlin and the young master are missing!"
Wen Qingzhu stood up instantly and ran out.
He stopped in front of Xi'er, grabbed her hand and asked, "What's going on?"
Xi'er said hurriedly: "After dinner, Young Master Jing went out as usual. Young Master Mingxuan also said he was going out, and Linlin insisted on following him. We originally agreed to come back in half an hour, but he didn't come back after the time. The housekeeper of the Wei family I sent people out to look for it, but I didn’t know that I couldn’t find it after searching for almost an hour. When I asked people about the place where Linlin often goes, they said that Linlin had never been there! In the end, it was Master Yuanhan’s people who discovered this!”
As she said this, Xi'er took out a purse that Wen Qingzhu had embroidered for Mingxuan before!
Taking it over with one hand, Wen Qingzhu examined it carefully and found that it was stained with a very slight smell of wet rot.
"This smell..."
"Miss, have you discovered anything?" Xi'er felt that her master had discovered something.
Wen Qingzhu nodded and made another confirmation: "Have you notified Third Uncle?"
Xi'er nodded and led her out: "It has been notified. Now it is said that Master Mingxuan is missing. He is a distinguished guest of the Wei family. Master Wei immediately sent officers and soldiers out to search! So far, no murder has been found. .”
"Let's go find Yuan Han. I know where he might be in Mingxuan!" Wen Qingzhu put away his purse, turned around and walked outside.
At the same time, Jiang Yinuo, who was wandering around the street, suddenly saw a large number of officers and soldiers holding Wen Mingxuan's portrait and questioning the people.
He immediately pondered: Wen Mingxuan is missing
Linlin always follows Wen Mingxuan, fearing that something will happen to her too!
"Azheng! Let's go! Let's look ahead!"
Two quarters of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu appeared in front of the dry well with Jiang Yuanhan.
The guard here said that there has been no movement here.
After looking at the dry well, Wen Qingzhu ordered: "Prepare tools and move the bones away!"
One after another, people went down and lit torches, and the bottom of the well suddenly became bright as day.
Only then did Wen Qingzhu clearly see the situation at the bottom of the well.
If the entire space were half a sphere, the top point would be the exit.
"Someone can make it like this!" Jiang Yuanhan also discovered this and walked to the edge of the bottom of the well.
Wen Qingzhu couldn't see clearly due to lack of light before, but now he looked and found that there were faint murals on the curved well wall.
It's just that there are more dents on the well wall, as well as various deliberate sword marks, which seem to be covering up something.
Jiang Yuanhan walked to a place where there were still traces, reached out and touched the mottled earth wall, and immediately a piece of dark red soil fell into his hand.
He rubbed it carefully in the palm of his hand, feeling the texture of the earthy paint.
"Sister, it's blood!" Jiang Yuanhan had not come down before and didn't know the existence of White Bone Mountain.
This time he came down with him, and when he saw the Bone Mountain, he immediately froze.
Although I heard a lot about the battlefield in the palace, the number of casualties was calculated in the tens of thousands.
The battle report used words to describe such tragic scenes, but none of them were as good as the mountain of bones in front of Jiang Yuanhan. It really shocked his soul!
But he quickly calmed down. With so many bones left here, there must be injustice!
At this moment, he understood who and what kind of thing he was facing.
Jiang Yuanhan recalled the scene when his sister came out yesterday. The heaviness in his sister's eyes at that time was something he had rarely seen before.
So he must be serious and not hold his sister back.
"In this environment, it can only be blood." Wen Qingzhu looked back at the White Bone Mountain.
At this time, Baigu Mountain has separated from the middle and turned into two hills.
The end of the pile of bones also revealed the real situation at this time.
No wonder these people who have turned into bones are trying their best to climb up here.
While other places have an inward slope, this place has an outward slope.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and walked that way, followed closely by Jiang Yuanhan.
When we got to the wall, it was different from the earth wall just now. This side was obviously an underground rock.
And it's strange, the texture of this stone seems to be different from the one half a foot away.
A secret guard who was familiar with the rock formations came over and reported: "Your Highness, madam, the stone in the middle should have been put here from the opposite side. If my subordinate guessed correctly, if you find a way to move this stone, there will definitely be something behind it." A passage!”
"Channel..." Wen Qingzhu thought of the underground water storage channel in Jinzhou.
She reached out and touched the unusually solid rock and asked, "Can you find a way to open this place up?"
After a moment of silence, the secret guard only replied: "I'll give it a try."
Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan retreated to a safe place and watched as the ten secret guards tried various methods, but only moved a little.
Time passed slowly, and I saw that the time was getting more and more exhausted.
Wen Qingzhu turned to the leader of the secret guards and told him a formula.
After hearing this, the secret guard's eyes were in disbelief, but he quickly turned around and went out to buy things.
About an hour later, Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan arrived on the ground.
Most of the secret guards also came up.
Not long after, the last secret guard came up with a fuse, and in front of everyone's eyes, he lit the fuse.
Watching the light of fire falling downward, within about ten breaths, a violent rumbling sound came from the bottom of the well.
People standing around the dry well felt the ground shake, as if an earth dragon turned over.
Later, there were a few slight rumbling sounds one after another, until it was completely calm down below.
The secret guard responsible for inquiring came down with the rope and quickly came up again.
"Your Highness, madam, the road below is open."
Wen Qingzhu nodded and followed them down.
Looking at the entrance to the dark hole ahead, it looks like the bloody mouth of a giant beast, trying to swallow everything.
After standing silently for a while, she felt a slight breeze blowing through her hair.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and prayed in his heart, hoping that things were not what he imagined!
As the secret guards continued to explore, and the secret guards in charge of the direction opened the way, Wen Qingzhu and his party went smoothly.
About a quarter of an hour later, the secret guard leading the way suddenly raised his hand: "There is something ahead!"
Wen Qingzhu narrowed his eyes slightly. They were now next to an underground waterway.
It's just that this water channel is almost stationary, but when they first discovered the water channel, they explored it and found that this water channel flows at an extremely slow speed.
The air here is closed, damp, and smells of decay.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the wallet in his hand. Mingxuan and Linlin were most likely here.
"Who is it?" The secret guard who opened the way shouted towards the front.
In the passage, there was only a long echo.
"Who, who, who..."
Wen Qingzhu walked to the front, and she could feel someone in front of her.
Breathing and heartbeat cannot be deceived.
"We don't mean any harm, it's just that you arrested two people who shouldn't be arrested, and I hope you let them go."
Wen Qingzhu tried his best to persuade gently.
Unfortunately, there was still no response from there.
Jiang Yuanhan thought for a moment and made a gesture: How about killing him beforehand
Wen Qingzhu was about to nod when an old voice suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead.
"who are you?"
"Wei Shuang's guest." Wen Qingzhu said, looked at Jiang Yuanhan and said, "He is Linlin's cousin."
The old voice coughed twice, then raised his feet.
But then someone seemed to stop him: "Grandpa, grandpa! He, they blew up the sacrificial hall! They are, they are bad people!"
Sacrifice hall
Is it that dry well just now
Wen Qingzhu frowned, weren't they victims
But that old voice and determination continued to walk towards them.
When the blurry figure appeared, Wen Qingzhu was immediately confused. This was not the height of a normal person!
Even if it’s a little shorter it’s not quite right!
It wasn't until the figure in front of him slowly became clearer that Wen Qingzhu could see clearly what the person who came was like.
Appearing in front of me was an old man with his back bent at a right angle.
He has white hair, white eyebrows, white beard, and even his skin is extremely white!
The old man was holding a special two-handed crutch with wooden wheels underneath, and the entire upper body was supported by folded hands.
This situation is like someone pushing a movable table, with his entire upper body pressed on the table, and he relies on the power of his legs to push back.
The old man's strange posture surprised even the well-informed secret guards.
Not to mention Wen Qingzhu and Jiang Yuanhan.
They were even more unbelievable that people still use this method of walking in the world.
Moreover, Wen Qingzhu was a doctor, and she saw that the old man suffered from a serious bone disease.
There is a saying in medical books that people must see the sun, otherwise the bones in the body will have problems, and the hair and skin will tend to turn white.
When the old man approached, everyone looked at some... adults following him in surprise.
At least judging from their appearance, they are signs of adulthood, and they all look like they are at least 20 or 30 years old.
But most of them are less than five feet tall, and some are even less than four feet tall.
According to books and rumors, there is a special term for adults who are less than four feet tall, called dwarfs.
But dwarfs are extremely rare. When they appear like this, they are such a big deal that people can't believe their eyes.
"Your Majesty, please save us."
The old man suddenly knelt down on his knees, and his head turned upward involuntarily.
The people following behind were startled because the person the old man was kneeling to was Jiang Yuanhan next to Wen Qingzhu.
