Chapter 24 Bloodwashing the Racecourse

Zhou Shuxuan's mind is not so easy to ponder, for example, Miaoli has not figured out what Miaoli is anxious about now.Seeing his maddened look, he didn't dare to ask.Hastily called someone to come in.He quickly packed up Zhou Shuxuan, and arranged the carriages and horses.

In less than two quarters of an hour, they boarded the carriage leaving the palace.

It was only after she came out of the palace gate that Miaoli remembered, "My lord, I didn't bid farewell to the emperor."

"I don't care about that much anymore." Zhou Shuxuan opened the car curtain to see where he was, but saw a bright yellow sedan just passing by. He hammered the car with his fist and said viciously: "The prince has entered the palace. The king found The person who poisoned must kill his whole family."

The crown prince entered the palace at this time, and most likely the matter of the declaration that week had reached the crown prince's ears.They still don't have any absolute evidence of the collusion between the Xia family and the prince. If the prince finds out, he may kill people to silence them, so they will find no evidence.Zhou Shuxuan really shouldn't have fainted.

Agitated, Zhou Shuxuan felt a little dizzy, and leaned against the wall of the car, Miao Li hurried to look, "My lord, are you okay?"

Zhou Shuxuan insisted on doing it well, supported his head and said, "My king is fine."

"Then we might as well go to the racecourse first, maybe there is still a little hope." Miao Li already knew what he was anxious about.The prince has just entered the palace, so he may not know it yet.

The matter was urgent, and he had to hold on even if he was not in good health. Zhou Shuxuan blurted out, "Go directly to the racecourse."

Miao Li ordered the outside to change the destination, and then moved forward at full speed.

Several horses ran away, and after a while, the carriage stopped suddenly, and Miao Li opened the curtain to see the situation outside.As soon as the curtain was opened, it was already in the suburbs. It stands to reason that the air should be very fresh, but there was a strange smell, like the smell of blood...

Miao Li endured the nausea in her heart and asked the coachman, "Why don't you leave?"

"Back to your mother, the servant doesn't know. The horse doesn't move, I don't know what happened to it."

A gust of wind blew, and a fresh smell wafted in, more and more like the smell of blood.Miao Li covered her nose and asked, "How far is it from the racecourse?"

"It's not far away, just a few steps away."

Miaoli returned to the carriage and discussed with Zhou Shuxuan, "My lord, why don't you walk and have a look, this racecourse seems to be not quite right."

This is also a way, Zhou Shuxuan nodded, "Go, I will let the guards follow you." He couldn't help but reminded, "Be careful in everything."

When Miao Li jumped off the carriage, a bloody smell wafted into the carriage, and Zhou Shuxuan seemed to understand what Miao Li said was not quite right.It's not good to scream in my heart, they may be late.

Miao Li was a little scared, the racecourse was built in the outskirts, and it was only used by the royal family and officials, there were usually few people in Japan, and it was even more deserted today.

Fortunately, there were two guards sent by Zhou Shuxuan to follow, otherwise she might really scare herself to death.After walking a few steps forward, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.How could this fine royal racecourse smell of blood, it was fine last time.Miao Li asked the guard beside her uncertainly.

"This smell, but the smell of blood?"

The two guards took a deep breath, then nodded, and replied in unison: "It should be."

The two guards were born in the army, and they were too familiar with this smell before marching and fighting, and it even made them a little excited.

While speaking, she had reached the gate of the racecourse, and Miao Li was frightened by the sight in front of her.Several corpses lay crooked on the ground, each of them had their throats cut.There was still bleeding from the neck, as if the person had just died.

The two guards didn't have much reaction, they had seen crueler than this before.But Miaoli was different, it was the first time she had seen such an exciting scene, coupled with the smell of blood filling her nose, she couldn't stop retching while leaning on the tree.

Her feet were really unstable and she almost fell, but a guard helped her to stand still.Miao Li really didn't want to go in, but Zhou Shuxuan was still waiting for her to reply.

Holding on to the tree trunk for a while, Miaoli stood up again holding her heart.Holding the hem of his skirt with one hand, he walked in with a sigh of relief.

A few steps further inside, more and more corpses.It fell to the ground in a mess.There were guts disemboweled and scattered all over the floor.The head was about to be cut off, leaving only a little bit of skin between the body and the head.There are also countless people with severed arms and legs.Blood flowed like a river, and I couldn't bear to look directly at it.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this scene has reached the eighteenth floor of hell.Someone rushed to wash the racecourse before them, and Miao Li had reached her limit at this time.She was shaking, her face was pale, her eyes were bright red, and her legs could not move.

This place seemed to be soaked in blood, who would do it so ruthlessly, blood washed the entire racecourse.Miao Li couldn't think at this time, and there was another thought in her mind, that there should be nothing here.

The two guards, He Guang and He Yuan, saw her fear. He Guang clasped his fists and said, "Girl, wait here. I'll go inside to see the situation."

Miao Li nodded with difficulty, and He Yuan stayed with her.Seeing that she was in a bad state, she asked, "Girl, do you want to go out and wait?"

Miao Li shook her head and said, "No need, I'll take it easy." Not forgetting the business, she asked again, "In your opinion, when did these people die?"

He Yuan glanced at the wounds that still hadn't dripped dry blood, and replied, "It won't exceed an hour at most."

"To kill so many people in one hour must be organized. Can you see what weapons they used?"

He Yuan squatted down and inspected the wound carefully, Miao Li averted his eyes and dared not look at it.The guard turned over several corpses and replied with blood on his hand, "The knife used was extremely fast, and the knife killed him. Those who were scratched also had deep wounds, the wounds were incomplete, and there should be barbs on the knife. The knife they used It is very likely that they are wolf-toothed serrated knives, the imperial court made a batch and gave them all to the East Palace Habayashi Army."

Miao Li was surprised, "East Palace?"

"Yes, the East Palace was attacked by assassins before, and the emperor specially ordered a batch to be placed in the East Palace."

Miaoli suddenly felt that there was no need to continue the investigation, the prince dared to let the Yulin army do it on behalf of him that he was not afraid of the emperor knowing, maybe this was the emperor's order.Even if they find nothing useful, the emperor will definitely protect the prince.

Agreeing to investigate the case in front of Zhou Shuxuan, but behind the scenes and so on, is the emperor really confused?Where did Mingjun, whom her father praised endlessly, go?

Soon He Guang also came back, "Girl, there is no one left alive. The horses in the stable, and even the dogs inside are dead."

With such a light sentence, Miao Li couldn't imagine what a miserable scene it would be inside.Just because he wanted to protect a crown prince who had done something wrong, he actually killed hundreds of people to silence him.

Miao Li closed her eyes and shook her head, not wanting to look at the corpse on the ground again.Taking a deep breath, the pungent smell of blood stimulated her nerves, she lowered her head and walked out.These people are also other people's fathers. For example, her father died for the prince.After today, how many more "Meng Yishuang" have appeared.Miao Li clenched her fists, she would kill the prince even if she paid for herself.

Soon, he walked back to the carriage.Zhou Shuxuan was opening the curtain to look out, when a drooping person suddenly appeared in his vision.

Miao Li was already pale, but now her face was even more pale, and her whole person became extremely unreal, as if she was made of paper.The skirt was stained with some suspicious red, which formed a sharp contrast with the pale face.All this confirmed the thoughts in his heart and explained the strong smell of blood in the air.

Miao Li bowed to him, and said in a low voice: "My lord, we are late, we can't find anything."

Zhou Shuxuan had already guessed the result, so he said, "Come up first." His tone was rare and gentle.When Miao Li climbed onto the carriage, he reached out and grabbed it.

The carriage headed back home, Miao Li was still sitting on the carriage.Dejected, as if being drained.

Zhou Shuxuan asked, "What's going on inside?"

"The corpses are all over the field, the blood is flowing like a river, it's horrible. I saw it in books or heard it in other people's mouths, and I didn't think these words were so terrible. I saw it with my own eyes today. I know what it is like. It turns out that human life is so important." This is worthless." Miao Li lowered her head and covered her face and said: "My lord, a country will not be a country. The crown prince can wash a racecourse with blood today, and he can wash a city with blood tomorrow."

Only she dared to say such disrespectful words, why didn't he know this.Everyone in the world knows that the prince is not the material to be the emperor, only the emperor does not know it.

Zhou Shuxuanyun said calmly: "The prince is the prince after all."

Miao Li couldn't bear the ease with which he said it, so she raised her head and questioned him unconvinced, "What about the prince? Your royal family is also raised by fathers and mothers, why is it more honorable than others?"

Zhou Shuxuan stared at her, with emotions in his eyes, becoming more and more presumptuous.With a dark face, he said sharply: "Slap your mouth."

If you are courageous, you can't just say whatever you want.This mouth will cause some trouble sooner or later.

Miao Li was dissatisfied and hit herself with all her strength.After a few slaps, several finger prints appeared on his face soon.In addition, the swelling from Xia's beating hadn't subsided yet, so the face that was originally a fish and a wild goose became more and more unreadable.Zhou Shuxuan felt that it was almost done, so he called out, "Stop."

Only then did Miao Li stop, she buried her head and refused to look at him again.

When we came, we looked for evidence together, worked together, and looked full of confidence.While leaving, Zhou Shuxuan ignored no one, and looked out the window with a heavy heart.This kind of temper, if you don't manage it properly, no matter how smart you are, it may be a disaster in the end.

The two returned to the palace with their own concerns, and Wei Hai had already waited outside with someone.Miaoli went down after Zhou Shuxuan got off the car.Wei Hai was startled when she showed up, she came back alive.How did it become like this?Who would have the heart to do something to such a face?

Wei Hai keenly felt that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so he acted honestly and did not dare to ask more questions.

Walking into his yard, Zhou Shuxuan said to behind him: "Don't follow, get out."
