Chapter 358 A lot of dead people

Pei Zhongshu had just put on his clothes with the help of his maid when he heard screams coming from the mansion.

"What's going on?" Pei Zhongshu waved away the maid and said to his personal servant, "Go out and take a look."

As soon as the servant opened the door, Pei Zhishuo rushed in, vomiting as he ran: "Gee...Grandfather...Gee..."

Pei Zhongshu took a few steps back: "Are you crazy?"

Ran into his room to vomit!

Pei Zhishuo finally stopped vomiting, with a bitter face, wiped his mouth and said: "Grandfather, our mansion...the servants in the mansion, all...you...you go out and take a look yourself!"

He didn't know how to describe it.

Pei Zhongshu walked out of the door under the protection of the servant. Everything in the yard was normal, and the screams came from outside.

"Bang!"

The maids were screaming down the corridor. Several servants fell down while walking, and black bugs crawled out of their bodies.

A foul smell spread throughout the Pei Mansion, and the air was full of nauseating breath.

Pei Zhongshu immediately covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves: "Miao Linlin! Where is Miao Linlin? Call her out for me."

After the bugs crawled out, they wanted to find a new host, but when they touched the outside of Pei Zhongshu's yard, they seemed to have touched something that frightened them, and they scattered in all directions, causing more servants to scream and jump up and down.

The personal servants were also frightened. The bodies of the servants who fell to the ground rotted at an extremely fast speed, and their bodies had long been eaten by maggots.

Fortunately, the Minister of the Central Secretariat had foresight. When Miao Linlin just married into the family, he hung three-edged vines, neem bark, and ground grass in the main corners of the family courtyard. He also asked the kitchen to use cinnamon, perilla, and patchouli to make soup for the masters every day.

If the insects have entered the body, these things are of course useless, but if the insects have not entered the body, they can completely restrain the insects. The smell, which is like a poison to them, will automatically keep the insects away.

So those who were infected today were all servants, and there was nothing unusual in the courtyards of the masters.

Miao Linlin was awakened by a loud knock on the door. She used to sleep until noon in the Miao village. Being awakened by someone made her very unhappy.

Pei Sinian held her in his arms. Seeing his wife frowning, he was unhappy. He grabbed the vase on the bedside and smashed it on the door: "You ignorant dog, you disturbed Madam's rest, don't you know?"

"Master..."

The servant outside the door said tremblingly: "It seems that there is a ghost in the mansion. Many servants have been eaten up. The Minister of the Central Secretariat asked us to invite Madam to come over!"

Ghost? Eaten up?

Miao Linlin on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, sat up quickly, grabbed the clothes on the screen and put them on, opened the door, and her eyes were full of shock: "What did you say? Where is it? Take me to see!"

How could it be so similar to being possessed by her insects?

The servant led Miao Linlin all the way to Pei Zhongshu's yard. Along the way, they saw many servants slipping out of their clothes while walking, turning into a pile of rotten skin, paralyzed on the ground.

And from under the skin, some tiny black insects flew out and came towards Miao Linlin and the others.

The servant who led the way screamed in fear, and Miao Linlin hit the small drum on her waist, and the insects flying towards them exploded in the air, spraying the servant's face with dirty blood.

His eyes widened, his teeth were chattering, it was Madam... Madam was responsible for all this.

It was too horrible... it was really too horrible.

Along the way, Miao Linlin was beating the drum, and the servants who were not possessed by the worms watched their former good friends fall in front of the Madam, while she continued to beat the drum without changing her expression, and there was no sympathy in her eyes.

It was as if... as if it was their honor to become food for the worms.

Her cold-bloodedness was beyond the cognition of normal people.

"Father-in-law!"

When Miao Linlin rushed in front of Pei Zhongshu, her body was covered with the blood of the worms, and it was very smelly.

But she herself didn't think so, and said nonchalantly: "Father, quickly have someone search the house. I suspect that the Jiang family has discovered our plan and thrown Jiang Yulin to our Pei family."

Her waist drum contained the mother body of a gnat, and Jiang Yulin's body contained hundreds of males that had mated with the mother. After the males hatched, they would breed tens of thousands of gnats, and those gnats could only move around near the males.

Originally, she thought that it would be no problem to eat everyone in the Jiang family, but now, the gnats were all in the bodies of the Pei family, which meant that the males were nearby.

Pei Zhongshu gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to look for him. He must be found for me."

"Get out of my way!"

Before the people arranged by Pei Zhongshu left, people from the four major criminal punishment departments, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Imperial City Department, came.

A large group of people rushed into the Pei Mansion: "The government is doing business, please get out of the way!"

The majestic voice came from the officials of the Dali Temple. When the bloody aura came out, no one dared to stop them.

Besides, what they held in their hands was a stamped search warrant. What does it mean?

It means that the emperor knew about this action and agreed to it.

Dead people!

So many dead people!

So many dead people whose bodies were eaten up and only a rotten human skin was left.

The stench was overwhelming!

The people walking outside the Pei family's door were almost vomiting because of the stench, but they couldn't help but gossiping.

"What's going on at the Pei Mansion? Are they cooking night incense at home? It stinks."

"Why are there so many soldiers and officers gathered here? Did something happen to the Pei family? It stinks... Why do I smell something like a rotting corpse?"

"How did you smell it? Have you seen a dead body?"

"I came from the charity house and deal with dead bodies every day. How do you think I smelled it?"

"Go away, stay away and don't interfere with the government's work."

Someone gave the soldiers guarding the gate a bag of copper plates: "Brother, what can we ordinary people do to interfere? I'm just curious about what happened to the Pei family. Why is it so smelly?"

The soldier shook his money bag, smiled with satisfaction, and whispered to the man, "The Dali Temple received an anonymous report that the new daughter-in-law of the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the one from Miaojiang... She is proficient in the art of witchcraft and uses the servants in the mansion to raise pigs. She is cruel and ruthless. It is said that nearly a hundred people in the Pei family have died. We are asked to investigate the Dali Temple as soon as possible, otherwise more people will die."

"What?"

"Using people to raise pigs? This is too inhuman, she is lawless."

"Is human life so worthless? This mansion stinks. If there are not a hundred people dead, there must be fifty or sixty. She really relies on the support of the Minister of the Central Secretariat to do whatever she wants."

"But why did the Pei family allow her to raise so many insects? Could it be... that she wanted to rebel?"

Jiang Yankun led the Ma master in the front. If the Buddha blocked him, he would kill the Buddha; if the God blocked him, he would kill the God.

If he didn't bring down the old man Pei Zhongshu today, he wouldn't be called Jiang.
