Many of the people present still clearly remembered the horrifying robbery and murder case on Mount Yan Xi three years ago. Because that group of bandits was truly deranged. Not only did they rob money, they also tortured and killed all the passersby they robbed and hung their bodies on the branches, forming a tragic forest of corpses. There were at least a few hundred corpses!
Dripping blood fell like rain from the top of the branches, dripping down, and the smell of blood filled the air. What was hell on earth, this was it!
After this matter was exposed, it caused the Emperor to be furious, and he specially sent troops to suppress the bandits. After a full three years, finally, a few days ago, the last bandit was beheaded by the Yongchengwei led by His Highness the Sixth Prince. It was truly satisfying.
The people present recalled that group of bandits and trembled. They continued to ask, "Then what happened to Niinu? Did she leave the capital? "
If that silly girl really left, how good would that be? Ning Shu hoped so, unfortunately —
"No, she didn't." She softly said, "After the birthday celebration of Imperial Concubine Dowager, the opera troupe completed their mission, and His Highness Prince Ke let them go. Later, the troupe was chosen by another noble and bought back into the manor. "
"Isn't that a good thing?" Everyone said.
"Is it a good thing? Perhaps. "Ning Shu let out a cold laugh and clapped her hands.
Even a little girl wrapped in a wounded cloth slowly walked into the crowd with the help of the people beside her. She walked in front of Ning Shu, and also walked into the eyes of the Emperor and the people.
Ning Shu encouraged her softly, and then said to the crowd in a clear voice, "Her name is Jin 'er, and she is one of the girls who was bought into the house by the noble. Jin Er, roll up your sleeves. "
Jin Er had been trembling in fear until she felt Ning Shu's warm hand holding her. She opened her pale lips and took a deep breath. Slowly, she unwrapped the white cloth wrapped around her arm bit by bit.
Then, five or six glaring wounds that were so deep that bones could be seen were placed in front of everyone's eyes. The wounds were so deep that bones could be seen, and crimson red flesh and blood could be seen. If it was just a wound, it would be fine. What was even more terrifying were the strange flowers and plants that grew out of the blood. Every single one of their roots was deeply embedded in the fresh flesh and blood. They relied on the nutrients of human flesh to become dazzling and eye-catching.
What the hell was that?!
Horrified gasps could be heard.
The citizens who were closest and could see it the clearest turned their heads away at the same time. They did not dare to look at this terrifying scene. Some of them could not bear to see it and tears even fell from their eyes.
Ning Shu continued, "There are more than ten similar wounds on her body, each of which is several times deeper and more tragic than this one! But she was already the luckiest among all the victims. This was because of the 106 girls. Apart from her, the others couldn't even speak. They had all died in the fire that burned down the manor in Teng Tou Village three days ago! The youngest one is only nine years old! "
One hundred and six!
The youngest was only nine years old!
These two numbers were like a sharp sword that ruthlessly stabbed into the hearts of all the citizens present. Which family didn't have daughters and nieces? Which family didn't have childish children? And these girls and children, who were treasured by the people, were actually treated like livestock and brutally killed! This was simply disgusting!
The citizens' anger was immediately stirred up. The angry voices of the three hundred thousand citizens were like thunder that immediately raised the entire Phoenix Terrace, "Who did it! Who did it! "
"Who is the murderer!"
"Quickly tell us the murderer's name! Quickly! "
Amidst the countless angry roars, Ning Shu curled her lips and smiled sweetly in Xiao Yunyan's direction.
The most brilliant afternoon sun shone on her body, illuminating her entire body. She was as dazzling as a peerless jade that had been dug out from the mountain, making people not dare to look directly at her.
She tilted her head and lightly shrugged, "Sorry, Third Highness, I have disappointed you. This little girl is really sorry that I wasn't burned to death by the fire you started. I didn't expect that the secret tunnel you dug in the courtyard would become my escape treasure in the end. This little girl is really grateful to the point of shedding tears. Tell me, isn't this the Buddhist saying: 'Heaven's will reincarnate'? "
Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then they realized what she meant and the three hundred thousand citizens immediately went into an uproar.
What?!
This deranged murderer was actually the magnanimous and prudent Third Prince that the courtiers said was most worried about the country and the people! This, this, this, was this real or fake?
But the witnesses were here, how could they let her quibble!
