"Yun Ni, have you discovered something important?" Sheng Mingyu waved his hand when he saw her in deep thought.
Gu Yunni was immersed in her own world and didn't notice at all, and simply ignored Sheng Mingyu's hand.
Sheng Mingyu immediately picked her up and said, "Yun Ni, what are you thinking about? You didn't react at all."
When Gu Yunni came to her senses, she saw that the giant face was very close to her, and their noses were even touching.
Her face suddenly turned red and she pushed his chest.
"This is outside, don't mess around."
Gu Yunni coughed and tried to break free from his arms, landing on the ground and walking on her own.
She underestimated the man's pettiness, but Sheng Mingyu took advantage of her and hugged her even tighter.
"You have neglected your husband, and you must make amends tonight."
“Ahem…”
Gu Yunni looked at him with a smile, and the mockery in her eyes was clearly visible.
She tried to push his chest away, but the man's arms were locked extremely firmly.
"Mingyu, stop making trouble."
Sheng Mingyu didn't stop, as if the embrace would continue to tighten if she didn't agree.
"Make it up to me, I will make it up to you tonight."
Gu Yunni finally gave in, her hair falling down by her ears, and there was a hint of charm in her eyes that made Sheng Mingyu unable to take her eyes away.
Sheng Mingyu chuckled softly, feeling very happy, "I'm looking forward to it."
Faced with the wolf-like sharp gaze, Gu Yunni suddenly shrank her head and subconsciously pressed her waist.
I can’t handle it!
…
The next day, as soon as the sky turned light, the Ministry of Justice sent people to pack the items.
"Everyone, be careful! These are things that the Crown Prince's wife will use. If something goes wrong, you will lose your heads."
The official in charge of the Ministry of Justice sent people to pack all the things into boxes, put them on the carriage and tied them up before heading to the Prince's Mansion.
When the servant came to deliver the message, Gu Yunni was too weak to get out of bed.
"It's all your fault. You insisted on making such a fuss until late last night."
Facing Yun Ni's watery eyes, which were filled with a hint of resentment, Sheng Mingyu subconsciously touched his nose and picked her up sideways.
"It's my fault. I'll help you clean up right now."
After washing up, Gu Yunni began to check the things he brought from the Ministry of Justice.
The items brought by the Ministry of Justice are complete and are all needed for the tracing formation.
The things in Changning Village were too strange, and the only blind old lady didn't know what happened, so she could only use the tracing formation.
"The Ministry of Justice is naturally very efficient, and all the necessary supplies are already available."
Gu Yunni nodded with satisfaction.
As she walked forward, her waist felt sore and her legs couldn't help but go weak. Sheng Mingyu behind her was quick to support her.
Gu Yunni was so angry about this culprit that she punched him and said, "As a punishment, you can't go back to the house for three days."
Who could resist a newlywed wife? Sheng Mingyu could only squeeze her palm and apologize helplessly.
"Yun Ni, my husband was too reckless. I will definitely reflect on this."
The carriage was ready and the group headed to Changning Village.
The blind old lady was the only person left in Changning Village, so Sheng Mingyu sent people from the Ministry of Justice to investigate the surrounding area.
When the carriage reached halfway up the mountain, someone came hurriedly to report.
"Sir, this is terrible! We went to the blind old lady's place to check and found that she had been murdered at home!"
The guards from the Ministry of Justice came to report, and Gu Yunni's face turned pale as she ordered, "Go to her house first."
Without further ado, there must be something strange about the blind old lady's death.
They changed direction and headed back towards the path.
How could this be such a coincidence? They had just been questioning him last night, and he was dead today.
Gusts of cold wind blew by, and the guards of the Ministry of Justice carefully drew their swords and looked around vigilantly.
Sheng Mingyu also felt that this gust of wind was strange, and he quickly held Gu Yunni's hand tightly.
"Don't worry, it's just that the bamboo forest has some gloomy energy."
Gu Yunni shook her head, not sensing any resentful spirit in the wind.
Everyone arrived at a thatched hut on the back mountain of Changning Village. Two guards from the Ministry of Justice were guarding the door of the hut.
"Your Excellency, the blind old woman's death was tragic, or..."
The guard gave a careful reminder, but then he started vomiting again out of nausea.
Gu Yunni pushed the door open, and a corrosive smell filled the air, making it difficult for her to open her eyes.
The blind old woman held the bamboo stick, her eyes were gouged out, and her skin was torn off.
The walls of the thatched hut were covered in blood, and a mixture of red and white was scattered everywhere.
The guards of the Ministry of Justice, who could remain calm in the face of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, stumbled and went outside to vomit when they saw this scene.
Although Gu Yunni had seen a lot of things, she still had to suppress her stomach's churning and check the blind old woman's body when she saw such a disgusting corpse.
The flesh and blood were torn apart, and there seemed to be white maggots inside, devouring the flesh and blood, and the maggots were crawling around.
She discovered that the blind old woman's soul had dissipated, and her lower legs were almost broken, showing signs of backlash from the mystical arts.
I think the murderer is from the Xuanmen.
"Send someone to search. There's definitely something wrong with this straw hut. This blind old woman is no ordinary person."
After checking, Gu Yunni also left the house.
This thatched hut is deep in the bamboo forest. If you don't search carefully, you probably won't be able to find it.
Recalling last night's conversation, she found many loopholes.
How does a blind old woman survive in the back mountains? Deep in the back mountains, wild beasts occasionally roam...
The guards from the Ministry of Justice continued searching and found a cellar under the water tank.
People were sent to search and they discovered the corpses of three babies!
Everything matched up.
Changning Village had previously registered that three children were missing.
The three children now look about three to five years old based on their skeletons, which is exactly the age of the missing person.
"Beast! Could it be that this kind of evil magic is using the blood of a child to cast a spell?"
The guards from the Ministry of Justice gathered together and looked at the corpses of the three children, their eyes filled with grief and regret.
The corpses of three babies, plus the blood and tears left behind, Gu Yunni counted with her fingers and muttered to herself.
"Chase!" The yellow talisman burned without wind.
After a while, she opened her eyes.
"Continue searching for this blind old woman. Not only are there murders, but this straw hut and her former home in Changling Village. Remember, don't let anything go."
Gu Yunni gave the order, and the guards of the Ministry of Justice were divided into three teams. One team went to the house of the former blind old lady in Changning Village, and the other team continued to search the straw hut.
A team was left behind to protect Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni.
…
In less than half an hour, the guard who had gone to look for the blind old lady returned first to report the news.
"Sir, we found it!"
The two went to Changning Village to check, and found that the three bodies were also buried in the cellar.
The cellar was hidden under the granary, and they searched for a long time.
"I think these three are the blind old lady's parents-in-law and husband." After piecing together the remaining bones of the corpse, Gu Yunni analyzed them by length.
"If that's the case, the Ministry of Justice will convict them. The blind old woman has already accepted the death penalty, but she will still be punished for murdering her husband and child."
Sheng Mingyu sighed, still puzzled.
