Before Tang Wanwan and the others knew what was happening, a group of soldiers suddenly knocked on the door and rushed into the courtyard very rudely. They dispersed in all directions, and a large group of soldiers suddenly surrounded the small courtyard.
Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she didn't know what was happening. When she saw those soldiers, she looked particularly frightened.
Tan Ling and Tan Song were also alarmed. They stood up and looked at the people outside with blank expressions. They didn't know what was going on. Tang Xiaoyi wanted to get the stick, and Jin Mao was also on full alert.
Tang Wanwan winked at them, so Tang Xiaoyi didn't use a stick to chase them away.
What Tang Wanwan didn't expect was that a large group of people from the government came next. Even the rare magistrate came, including Master Feng. But these people who rushed in were obviously not Feng.
Your Majesty's person. Standing next to the Magistrate was a man in white clothes with a golden crown on his head. He was closely protected by four people, each of whom looked to have extraordinary skills.
Seeing this situation, Tang Wanwan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She quickly pulled the village chief aside and asked him what happened?
The village chief replied that the clan leader specially invited Taoist Master Maoshan to come to the yard to exorcise evil spirits. Then he took Tang Wanwan to see the Prince of Nanping County and the prefect.
Tang Wanwan saluted the two of them according to the etiquette of ordinary civilians. Everyone in the room also came out to salute, except for Tang Wei, whose legs were not in good condition.
Then I heard the soul-suppressing bell in the Taoist priest's hand, which kept ringing. Two Taoist priests in Taoist robes entered the room directly while muttering something.
Tang Wanwan wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by someone. Then the person said: "The Taoist priest is practicing magic inside, and he will die if he breaks in without permission."
Tang Wanwan was even more puzzled. There was nothing going on at home, so why did she still do this and look so nervous? The village chief said that because Tan Ling and Tan Song had lived in her house, they were Mr. Tan's relatives after all.
, maybe he will come back to find them.
After a while, the Taoist priest finished the ritual and gave a slight salute to Madam Chen, saying that there were no sneaks in the house and that she could stay here with peace of mind.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
Tang Wanwan thought that everything would be fine, but it wasn't over yet. It turned out that the Prince of Nanping County had talked to him in person.
Ask her about her relationship with the Tan family and how her friendship with Mr. Tan is?
Wait, the questions she asked seemed to be trivial, but Tang Wanwan saw a dark wave in Prince Nanping's eyes, and she was suddenly startled, feeling that this person was extremely dangerous.
Naturally, I was very careful when answering questions.
Tan Song and Tan Ling were also questioned. The questions asked were similar, but they asked more about Mr. Tan and said they wanted to go to the carpenter's shop.
Tan Ling and the others could not refuse this reason.
What's even more funny is that the Prince of Nanping County actually said that he had met Mr. Tan once when he was a child and wanted to see the legacy he left behind.
It seemed that they would not be content without searching the carpenter's shop.
The prefect wanted to flatter the county prince and urgently wanted to leave this small courtyard.
He didn't want the prince to go to the carpenter's shop, so he had no choice but to continue accompanying him.
Before leaving, Mr. Feng glanced at her, and Tang Wanwan smiled back at him, meaning that she was fine.
This time when they went to the carpenter's shop, they looked more carefully, but they were all old things, nothing special.
After seeing it, Prince Nanping felt very disappointed and left.
When they went back, Tang Sizhe and Tang Ruyue led the people who went to move the monuments in the mountains to come back. It took them nearly half a month to finally move all the things in the underground salt field back. There were also spinning wheels, water wheels, etc.
Everything I used has been moved back.
In order to claim credit from the Nanping County Prince, the Tang clan leader immediately ordered people to quickly place these things in the predetermined positions. After finishing the work, he invited the County Prince to visit.
After working for a long time, it was finally time to visit. The prince and the magistrate and their party continued to visit.
At this point, the prince's trip ended successfully. He didn't even eat dinner, and then left with his bodyguards.
When the prince left, Tang Zhongqing couldn't help but said to the clan leader: "How did he realize that there were so many fewer people brought by the prince?"
Others were also a little curious and said that it seemed to be missing. Chief Tang immediately stopped them and said, "Don't talk nonsense, lest disaster comes from your mouth."
Later, when someone went to clean up the house where the prince and his entourage lived, they found fresh blood stains in the house, and asked the widower to come and look at it. He said it was human blood.
The head of the Tang clan knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately kept silent to shut up the insider, and the fraudster also paid hush money.
I originally thought this matter would just go away.
Unexpectedly, three days later, someone was searching the beach and discovered the bodies of six unknown men.
Moreover, the faces of these six people were all turned upward, and their faces were swollen and unrecognizable. At that time, the villagers were frightened into soft-footed shrimps.
The scary thing is not that someone found these six unknown male corpses, but that all the six male corpses had their heads facing upward. According to the physiological structure of men and women, after drowning or natural death, the male corpses must have their heads upwards, and the female corpses must face upwards.
Next. If the direction is wrong, it means it is not a good way to die.
The Prince of Nanping County who returned to the inn in the town was very angry when he heard the news, because he asked his men to bury the six people. Those who participated in the burial felt a chill down their spines and could not express their pain. "
Prince, we followed your instructions and carried them to the mountains at night to bury them. Who knew these corpses would end up in the water?"
As soon as the man said this, everyone suddenly felt that the wind in the room was making the room cool. At this moment, the wind blew open the wooden window and made a "bang" sound. Some people were so frightened that they almost peed their pants.
The prince's face looked very ugly, and he immediately said: "Capture those two Taoist priests to me. If you can't explain the reason, I will kill them all."
"yes!"
In this world where the weak are the strongest, the strong have always held the power of life and death. In the eyes of the prince, the lives of the two Taoist priests were like ants.
It was unlucky for the two Taoist priests to be killed in such an inexplicable way.
That night, all the people who participated in the burial died inexplicably. When they died, their throats were all covered with black and blue lumps, as if they had been strangled to death.
Only one of them escaped, the most capable general around the county king, but he was not dead and his situation was not much better.
He was obviously greatly frightened, with a look of extreme terror in his eyes, and kept shouting "There is a ghost, there is a ghost."
Such a person is obviously useless, and the prince will not keep him any longer.
This time I finally couldn't hide it, because it was in an inn, there were many people talking, and several people died. How could such a big thing be hidden?
So everyone spread the news that it was evil spirits who were causing trouble. Some people said that they must have done something that was harmful to nature and that was why they received retribution.
But these people are the subordinates of the county king. If his subordinates do evil, doesn't it clearly indicate that it is his master who gave the order?
Now things got serious.
The prefect received a clear order that the matter must be clarified within three days, otherwise his black hat would be at risk.
The prefect gave Master Feng a death order again, asking him to put down other matters quickly and organize special people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
