Chapter 20: There is an accident in the imperial city!

It was not calm tonight. A figure moved quickly like lightning and could hardly see her shape. The young woman walking on the road at night with a vegetable basket accelerated her footsteps and was suddenly thrown to the ground, "Ah!" With almost no sound, the young woman lost her breath.

The creature that fell on her, smelled her like a dog, and opened its mouth wide.

On the second day, in the government building, a white cloth on the ground covered a person, revealing only a pair of embroidered shoes. There is an old girl kneeling next to her.

Who is in the hall? Why beat the drum?" The magistrate patted the shocking wood and asked harshly.

"Your Excellency, Li Shi, a folk tofu shop, my daughter-in-law rushed back from her mother's house last night, but she was killed!" With that, the woman cried and kept wiping her tears with her sleeves.

"Explain the situation clearly, otherwise how can I make the decision for you?" The magistrate frowned unhappily.

"Yes, magistrate!" After wiping her tears again, the woman said, "My old man went early. Last year, my son was arrested as a strong man, and the family depends on my daughter-in-law to take care of him..."

The magistrate frowned and interrupted her, "Pick up the important thing!"

"Oh!" The woman replied, "Yesterday, my daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house and said that she would come back at night, but she didn't get home until the end of the sun. I wanted to go out to find her. Unexpectedly... Whoo, I saw her collapse in the roadside alley. I went over and saw that the injury on my daughter-in-law's face was too cruel. The magistrate, you have to be the master of the people's wife! Catch this murderous demon and avenge my daughter-in-law!"

After the woman said, the people who watched the drama outside looked curiously at the figure lying on the ground and wondered what kind of death it was like.

The magistrate said to the left and right guardians: "Open it!"

As soon as the white cloth was uncovered, everyone took a breath. It was really horrible. The young woman's face could not see the original face clearly. From the left eye to the nose, and then to the lips, it was like being gnawed off by some kind of monster, revealing the white bones. In some places, the flesh and flesh turned over, and the blood was almost solidified on it. The black and red color appeared. Extremely ferocious.

The naughty child mixed in the crowd actually cried, "Mom, did the ghost eat her face? I'm afraid!"

"Cough!" The magistrate patted the wood and said, "The government office has broken the case, keep quiet, and those who violate it will fight for fifty!"

Everyone did not dare to make a sound again, and even the child was tightly covered with the corners of his mouth and eyes.

The magistrate looked at the corpse underground and shouted, "It's a masterpiece!"

After some investigation, he replied, "Your Excellency, this man was attacked by a fierce beast and ate his flesh and blood, so that he died!"

Hearing this, the magistrate nodded, but the woman refused to accept it. "Your Excellency knows that this imperial city is a place where people live. It has always been safe. There is not even a mountain bird. How can it be attacked by a beast? Someone must have killed my daughter-in-law and planted it on the beast! Ah, my poor daughter-in-law! Who on earth hurt you? Tell me in your dream that I can avenge you! ......”

Hearing the words, the crowd outside the door was a moment of **. The magistrate was angry, patted the shocked wood, and scolded, "Bold fool, don't talk nonsense. Just now, the body has been verified. It is indeed eaten by beasts. Then it will be pestered and served with a cane!"

The civil woman was still unwilling, "But..." The magistrate said, "Take your daughter-in-law down and bury her well. Today, for the sake of the deceased, I may be guilty of disturbing the court. Leave quickly!"

After saying that, she stood up and strode to the Litang. The woman cried in a low voice and covered the white cloth back to her daughter-in-law.

The crowd ** was uneasy, and the passer-by A whispered, "The imperial city is heavily guarded. How can there be beasts? Isn't it like the child's words, the wronged ghosts for his life?"

The passer-by shrank his neck, "Don't be so horrible. It seems that you still have to go out less at night." The crowd slowly dispersed, but the fear in my heart was like a thick fog, and it could no longer be dispersed!

After Xuan Junyao got up, she picked up yesterday's thoughts and broke out in a cold sweat on her back. "Come on, I want Xionghuang, garlic, pounder, and gauze!"

The maid looked blank and asked carefully, "Princess, why do you want these?"

"You care about me, go!" Xuan Junyao shouted angrily, and the maid trembled and quickly walked out. Xuan Junyao thought for a moment and shouted at her, "Is there any wind oil essence?"

The maid turned her head and shook her head, "Unheard of!"

"Roar ~ poor and remote land!" Xuan Junyao was unhappy, frowned and waved her hand to send her away.

The maid's face was full of shock, "If the royal palace in this imperial city is a remote place, what are the other places?" My mind thinks so, but I dare not slow down. Should I report to the prince first?

In the study, Xia Shiming said in a low voice, "Last night, someone in this city was attacked and gnawed out most of his face. I suspect it was done by goblins."

"Go and find out why the goblins are doing strange things. How dare you be wild on the king's territory!" Long Xiao frowned unhappily.

Before Xia Shiming could speak, the two found someone outside the door at the same time, "Who?"

The maid came in tremblingly, but she just stood down and wanted to hear if she had disturbed the prince. Why was she so fierce?

"Your Majesty, I'm the maid in the princess's room. The princess just asked for Xionghuang, garlic, and pounder. Let me ask if you want to bring it to her!"

"Xionghuang?" Long Xiao wondered, "What does she want to do with these things?"

The maid replied, "I don't know. Oh, yes, the princess also wants something called Fengyoujing!"

"Wind oil essence?" Long Xiao pondered for a long time, and Xia Shiming also frowned. The maid asked carefully, "Does the maid want to give it to the princess?" If you don't take the things back to the unruly princess, I'm afraid it's not as good as her.

"Take it. Remember to report to me first if she wants anything in the future!" Long Xiao looked at her and said, "You did a good job today. Go down and get the reward!"

With a wave of her hand, the maid left happily, sweeping away the unhappiness of being reprimanded just outside the door.

"Xiao, Xionghuang is something to avoid snakes. Isn't she sensing the snake spirit?" Xia Shiming guessed.

"I'm afraid so, I'll go to her place to have a look. Go and find out if there are goblins in the imperial city! Remember to be careful! Don't touch them, give me back first!"

"Yes!" After saying that, Xia Shiming's position was empty.

Long Xiao frowned and tidied up his clothes and walked out.

In the room, Xuan Junyao was very busy. She pounded garlic in her hand and kept sneezing. She only heard "sneeze!" Sneeze!" In two tones, Xuan Junyao stopped and rubbed her nose with the back of her hand. "Wow, garlic is really abominable. No, the most abominable thing is the dead king, the rotten snake demon. I curse you to be captured by the Taoist priest, crushed by the Leifeng Tower, disillusioned, and you can't die!"

"Who is going to die?" Long Xiao pushed the door in and looked at Xuan Junyao, with a smile on his cold face.

Xuan Junyao stood up in horror and took a few steps back with the pounder in her arms. "My God, when did you come here?"

Long Xiao frowned and asked knowingly, "Isn't the princess cursing me to die?"

Obviously, it was an expressionless face, but Xuan Junyao saw the joke and evil charm, just like a snake spirit. Thinking about it, she took a few steps back in a row and held the things in her arms tighter, "Eat listening to people's words, rotten ass!"

Long Xiao frowned, and Xuan Junyao also realized whether she was a little too much. How could eavesdropping make his buttocks rotten? It should be his ears, but he immediately came to his senses. I wiped it and still took care of it. After a while, he provoked it, and it was not good to be buried in the snake's belly.

"What are you doing?" Long Xiao stared at the pounder in her arms, and his eyes were burning.

The eyes seem to be! She only felt that her legs and feet were weak. "Don't come over, I'm a homemade anti-snake medicine!" Very effective!"

"Oh? Really?" Long Xiao slowly approached her, picked up the pounding stick from the utensils in her arms, and put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it. "The smell is too strong. If you don't smoke the snake away, you will faint. If you are really afraid of snakes, I will ask the doctor with a few pairs of snake-repelling savoring bags later, which will be convenient to wear!"

Xuan Junyao feels that she is trembling, and even her teeth are trembling up and down. This is definitely the top snake demon, and she is not even afraid of Xionghuang. What level does this have to practice?

"You, you, you..." Xuan Junyao, you haven't said anything for a long time.

On the contrary, Long Xiao said, "Don't go out recently. The imperial city is not peaceful!" After saying that, he left.

Xuan Junyao watched him leave step by step until the door was closed, and she came to her senses for a long time, "Is it a snake step he just walked? This recipe has no effect on him at all? Immediately, his mind was clear. He had cultivated his body. He would be afraid of these mortal things. However, didn't Bai Suzhen show her true body only after drinking real wine?

Her head became more and more confused. Xuan Junyao ran into the quilt and covered her whole body. She only felt that as soon as he came, the room became very cold.
