Chapter 680: Being Eviscerated
It was night, and the streets of the imperial capital were silent. Only the watchman held a lantern in his hand, beat the gong, and shouted loudly, "The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful of the candles——"
Looking around, the watchman could not help but shrink his neck when he saw that there was no ghost on the street.
Speed up the pace, the watchman was walking forward seriously, but suddenly he saw a figure flashing past in the alley ahead.
The sky was too dark, and the figure flashed past. She seemed to be a beautiful girl in a skirt. However, her figure was a bit bloated and her belly was bulging. She seemed to be pregnant.
"Who is there?" The watchman raised the lantern in his hand and looked forward, but found that there was nothing at the entrance of the alley not far away, as if the figure that flashed just now was just his hallucination.
As he approached with a confused frown, the watchman walked to the entrance of the alley and found that the alley was pitch black, with a faint smell of blood permeating it.
The watchman is usually the most courageous, but at this time, the figure just now filled his mind like a ghost, making his steps heavy, and he suddenly kicked something.
The watchman was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and saw a scene he would never forget.
I saw a man lying on the ground with his back stretched out. A bright red wound spread from his stomach to his chest. All the internal organs in his stomach were missing, leaving only an empty shell. Of his body, only his eyes were still wide open, staring straight at the sky, unblinking.
A thick layer of blood had accumulated on the ground, and the strong smell of blood swept out, making the watchman's feet weak. Then he fell heavily to the ground and rushed out while rolling and crawling. .
“It’s a murder, it’s a murder!” The watchman rushed out rolling and crawling, wailing as he ran, and rushed all the way to the Yamen. He knocked on the door desperately and lost his soul. Ersi De told the guards at the Yamen the whole story.
The guards at the yamen did not dare to be careless, so they quickly led their men and rushed to the alley together with the watchman.
Seeing such a ferocious and bloody corpse, everyone was shocked. However, the watchman followed the people from the yamen and realized that this was actually not the first person to die recently. In the past few days, someone would have their internal organs eviscerated and die every day. Counting this man today, he was already the fifth person to die.
These five people are of different ages and genders. They don't know each other and have no connection. The only similarity is that they all died at night and were disemboweled. All the internal organs in their stomachs were missing. Knowing who had poached it, it turned out to be clean.
The watchman was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. It was difficult for the people in the yamen to question him, so they took the watchman away first and protected him.
Time flies. The next day, Prince Yun Sheng of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom led his envoys to the imperial capital to pay tribute this year.
Southern Xinjiang is the most powerful among the subordinate states of the Yan Kingdom. Their prince came to visit in person this year. The Yan Kingdom naturally wanted to receive him well. Mu Yuan specially sent the Prime Minister and the Protector General to greet him at the city gate. , the road was opened into a wide avenue by the guards on both sides, all the way to the palace, and behind the guards, people were crowded.
The common people have heard that there are many beauties in the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom, and the prince of the Southern Xinjiang Kingdom is a rare character. They couldn't help but come here today, wanting to see the beauty.
