"The so-called lycanthropes are made of children under the age of ten. Boiling water is poured over their skin, and the skin is peeled off bit by bit from the nape of their neck. Then, fresh wolf skin is immediately pasted on their bloody skin and wrapped in cloth, allowing them to grow together. At most, only one out of ten will survive, and the only one that survives will have their tongue cut out and receive a long period of whipping and scolding. In the end, they will become livestock for others to order around and enslave, and will be pulled into a circus to perform. "Ning Shu lowered her eyes and tried to speak in the most concise and calm manner possible.
However, the people present, if they didn't already have children, then they had younger siblings or nephews at home. When they heard this, their hearts tightened. As long as they imagined their children falling into the hands of such a demon, they felt their entire body turn cold and their tears dry up. Old Princess Consort Yu stood by the emperor's side. She couldn't bear to look away and let out a sympathetic sigh.
The official from the Ministry of Revenue said, "Then what about the dead ones? How did he get rid of so many children's corpses without anyone noticing? Why didn't anyone notice anything strange and report it to the authorities? "
"There are butchers everywhere in Yin Ma Alley, slaughtering pigs and sheep. The entire alley is filled with the smell of blood, and the old blood stains on the ground are the best camouflage for him. In the nineteenth year of Heaven's Selection, after his accomplice, Group Leader Sun, died, he stopped out of fear and cleaned up all the evidence, leaving only that thin handbook. Thus, I am unable to make an accurate judgment as to how he dealt with it. However, after His Highness sent people to investigate, they found that Feng San used horse peddling as a smokescreen. Other than selling so-called horses, he would occasionally sell some fresh horse meat … "
After hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but feel their stomachs churn. However, most of them felt fear and unease.
On the steps, the emperor's expression was extremely ugly. "Hehe, this is truly a 'pleasant surprise' for us. I didn't expect that such a tragedy would happen in our imperial city, right under our eyes, and we were completely unaware. My beloved officials, you are all in charge of the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and some of you are even Yongchengwei. You are all my right-hand officials. You really have good eyesight! "
Wang Han and the others immediately kept quiet out of fear. Cold sweat silently soaked their backs. They were speechless.
"Even if Feng San dies ten thousand times, it won't be enough to appease the hatred in my heart! Pass down my orders. Drag Feng San out of the Meridian Gate and whip his corpse. Chop him up and feed him to the dogs in front of the commoners! "
"As you command!"
Following Ning Shu's train of thought, Tan Siwei quickly came up with a conjecture. "Could it be that the little wolf demon from the vaudeville troupe who died tragically nine years ago … was killed by Miss Qi because she mistook it for a real demon, was related to Mother Hui?"
"Yes. Previously, I had always focused my suspicions on Cai Yue, Liu Jin, and other people who had lost their children at home, thinking that it was their revenge. It wasn't until yesterday that I inadvertently discovered the flaw in the fortune bag. When I passed by the Ci You Bureau, I suddenly had an idea, so on a whim, I rummaged through the Ci You Bureau's file room all night and finally found it. Mother Hui indeed didn't have a biological child, but more than ten years ago, she had adopted a three year old boy from the Ci You Bureau. That child's whereabouts had disappeared before you entered the Qi Estate. "Ning Shu stared at Mother Hui and spoke slowly.
"Mother Hui, the Ci You Bureau's scroll has your own handwriting. You can't deny it. You spent nine years to complete the perfect revenge for your child. Everything that happened in the past is still pardonable, but now you really shouldn't implicate others. Please, admit it. "
