Poison concubine enchanting

Chapter 296
In the suburban district of Soho, Feng Cha was standing by a huge bathing pool, which was originally a hot spring pool, but now, the hot spring water has been drained, the spring eyes are closed, and the inside is filled with scarlet blood. It emits a foul smell that makes people sick.

In the middle of this pool of blood, the corpses of ten pairs of boys and girls were soaked in it, which was shocking!Above the corpses of those children, there are vaguely transparent things floating on it, which are the souls of these children.

A strange black light imprisoned the souls of these children, making it impossible for them to break free. Feng Cha was chanting words, his eyes were full of darkness, his face was hideous and terrifying, like a ghost from hell.

After a while, a small sedan chair stopped outside the courtyard, and Su Ho came in through the door alone. As soon as he entered, he couldn't help covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"What is this smell, and why is it so bad?"

After Su Ho saw the weird formation, he already understood the source of the disgusting smell.

"Why did you come here?" Feng Zha stopped urging the formation, and those transparent shadows gradually disappeared, and the blood pool that had been churning and tumbling gradually calmed down again.

Su Ho frowned, "This thing is really disgusting, thanks to you being able to stay here!"

Feng Cha laughed and said, "Although it's a bit disgusting, it's really useful! It won't be long before your wish can come true, so this process is not unacceptable, is it?"

"That's right, forget it, I came here today to see how far your formation has progressed, you must know that there are many dreams in the night, if someone finds out, I'm afraid..."

"Your Majesty, if you care about it, you will be confused. Have you forgotten that this master has obtained His Majesty's order to catch ghosts publicly, so even if someone finds something wrong, so what? After I refine the corpses of these virgins, it will be impossible for me to kill them." No one knows what I'm doing, and no one has a reason to catch me, right?"

Su Ho sneered and said: "You are thoughtful, but I advise you not to get too complacent. Have you ever heard of Master Yi? It is said that he knows the world, and these days, it is heard that Shen Hua and Master Yi have some touch!"

"So what? Then Master Yi may not be proficient in formations, not to mention that it has been passed down from ancient times, so he may not know it!"

Su Ho glanced at him, "Since you're so determined, it's inconvenient for me to hit you, anyway, just know what you have in mind!"

Just when the capital city was shrouded in the shadow of ghosts and gods, Mo Xuan, who had already arrived at the Jiangnan Station, also began to investigate the nearest embankment.

Dongfang Shuo and Dongfang Qing'er hadn't arrived yet, so Mo Xuan simply concealed his identity and acted alone with Feng Che, which made him discover many problems.

Floods in the south of the Yangtze River are the most worrying things for the emperor every year, and the imperial court allocates a lot of money every year, but in Mo Xuan's view, these so-called disaster relief funds seem to have not been used in real terms.

"Master, what are your thoughts?" Feng Che couldn't help asking when he saw Mo Xuan standing on the embankment and frowning tightly, but his eyes were flickering coldly.

Mo Xuan thought for a while, "This time we have two main missions in Jiangnan, one is to ensure the safety of the people when the flood occurs, and the other is that His Majesty actually secretly entrusted me with another mission!"

"Then does the master mean to investigate this matter secretly?"

"That's right, His Majesty didn't want Dongfang Shuo and the others to know about this, for fear that they would startle the snake. Originally, this king was planning to part ways with them after coming to the south of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect to hit the right track."

"But master, where should the master start to investigate this huge officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"It is said that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, Feng Che, how about a task that this king entrusted to you?"

"Okay, from now on, you are going to help me find some candidates, and place them in the mansions of several leading officials in the south of the Yangtze River. The more ordinary and inconspicuous the people, the better. Tell me about some trivial things you heard at home."

Feng Che heard the words and said: "This subordinate obeys orders!"

Feng Che took the order to leave, while Mo Xuan looked at the river embankment indifferently, then searched for a nearby house, and walked over slowly.

This is a very dilapidated courtyard. It seems that the family is not well-to-do. There is only an old couple living in this family. Seeing someone knocking on the door, the old man who was weaving bamboo cages in the yard quickly put down his work. Step forward and open the door.

Mo Xuan's handsome face was full of smiles, "Old man, it's like this, I'm a merchant on the road, and I suddenly felt a little hungry when I passed by here, can you let me have a casual meal at your house!"

The old man looked at Mo Xuan's tall body and graceful appearance, his dragon and phoenix posture, and he was a high-ranking official at first glance, so he hurriedly let him into the room, and said a little embarrassedly: "This official, it's not that I am stingy, it's just that you have also seen that our farm food Officials may not be able to eat the habit!"

"It's okay, let me tell the old man, how can we be so particular when we are away all year round? It's enough to eat enough. Don't worry, old man, I have silver taels!"

While talking, Mo Xuan took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and put it in front of the old man. When the old man saw the silver taels, he stood up in surprise, waved his hands repeatedly and said: "You can't do it, it's just some simple food, the official People don't have to be so polite."

"How can this work? I am very grateful to the old man for letting me in. What's more, the old man has to prepare food for me. These things are nothing."

The old man still declined and said: "Officer, I really don't need so much money. I have never seen so much silver in my life. How about it, if you really want to give money, official, just give me two copper coins."

But Mo Xuan directly stuffed the money into the old man's hands, "Old man, it is fate that we met you and me, and please forgive me, I don't think there are any young people in the old man's family, so these things are not too many. "

Mo Xuan played the role of an extremely generous businessman, and his words seemed to pierce the old man's heart.

After refusing for a long time, the old man finally took the money that made his hands tremble, arranged for Mo Xuan to sit down, and then walked towards the backyard.

Mo Xuan looked around, and then saw a five or six-year-old child secretly hiding at the door, dark complexion, thin and small, staring at Mo Xuan curiously with big black and white eyes.

Mo Xuan waved at the child. The child hid shyly, but poked his head out after a while, as if hesitating.

Mo Xuan smiled at him with soft eyes, the child walked over slowly timidly, Mo Xuan reached out and touched his head, "What's your name?"

"Edamame."

"How old is little Maodou?"

"Seven years old."

Mo Xuan frowned, a seven-year-old child looks like five-year-old, it seems that the situation in this family is really not good, I don't know if this is a special case here or it is common!
After a while, the old man came out with the food, and it was already time for the meal. The old man came over with corn and rice, and fried two eggs. The strong aroma made the kid named Maodou salivate!

The old man put the food in front of Mo Xuan, and then pulled Maodou aside, "This is not for you to eat, go to the kitchen to find your grandma!"

Maodou didn't say anything, but just stared at the food with a pair of big eyes, salivating endlessly.

Mo Xuan pulled Maodou with a smile and said: "Let's eat the little Maodou here, old man, you sit down too, I don't know if you have wine at home, how about we have a drink?"

The old man really didn't care when he saw Mo Xuan, and he said in his heart that God bless them, they met a living Bodhisattva, and he didn't dislike their poverty, and gave them so much silver taels.

"Then... I'm not being polite, I'm not bothering the officials. My mother-in-law even cooked the fish and killed the chicken. I'll go and see if it's all right."

The old man walked out after finishing speaking, while Xiao Maodou sat obediently beside Mo Xuan, but just looked at the food on the table without making a sound or moving his hands.

Mo Xuan reached out and rubbed his hair, "Want to eat?"

Maodou nodded and shook his head quickly. Mo Xuan couldn't help but laugh seeing him like this, so he directly picked up the egg with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, "Eat it!"

Maodou's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and his small mouth chewed vigorously, like a little hamster, but it was too thin.

After a while, the old man and an old woman walked in together. Seeing Maodou eating, the old man was taken aback, while the old woman's eyes turned red instantly, and she looked at the old man with some embarrassment.

The old man said again and again: "Officer, this can't be helped, you let the edamame eat you, you don't even have to eat it!"

Mo Xuan waved his hands again and again, "It's okay, it's okay, how much a child can eat, old people, you all sit down and eat together. Speaking of which, my hometown is also in this area, but I haven't been back for many years. This time I passed by my hometown on business, and I feel very kind to see you."

After being told by Mo Xuan, the old man and the others became closer, "It turns out that the officials are from the same township, but it is true, many people have left after the floods these years, only us old, weak and sick are left down."

Hearing the words, Mo Xuan asked strangely: "Why is this? Didn't you hear that the imperial court allocated a lot of silver to help the disaster? Why did everyone leave their homes?"

The old man sighed, and the old woman on the side began to wipe away tears, "The officials don't know something, so you can't go if you don't. In the past two years, because the embankment broke down every year, there were people who came to repair it earlier, but later, they always had to wait until the embankment broke down every year." When there is a flood, people will rush to repair it, and when it can't be repaired..."

The old man was at a loss for words, and Maodou on the side also wrinkled his face when he heard the words, weeping silently, obviously even this child has experienced something.

Seeing the old man like this, Mo Xuan became more and more curious, "What if it can't be repaired well? Don't worry, old man, I have traveled all over the world for many years, and I know quite a few people, so I just need to inquire about things, and I also have my elder brother's family at home, so I still hope The old man can speak clearly."

The old man nodded again and again, "Yes, the people above said they were thinking of the common people, but in fact, when things come to an end, why don't they push us common people into the fire pit one by one? Every time there is a flood, the places where the embankment bursts are the green The middle-aged man jumped down carrying mud and sand to block it. That was a flood! How many people survived the jump? I originally had two sons. I never came back, and I was afraid that my younger son would be arrested too, so I let them escape."

"Pity my little Maodou, he lost his parents at such a young age!"

Hearing this, Mo Xuan's expression suddenly became gloomy, and his whole body was enveloped in a murderous aura. He thumped the table angrily, "Damn it!"
