Chapter 264 I just started eating meat, so I have to think about it
"Come here, imprison everyone in the Zhu family's house quickly."
With this sound, the officials headed towards Zhu's house.
Not to mention the old lady of the Zhu family, every servant of the Zhu family was taken away.
As soon as the Zhu family was empty, a group of well-built Wei soldiers in civilian clothes came in and rushed towards the dark room.
The night is dark and destined to be uneven.
It seems to be pregnant with a huge wave, but it cannot drown the evil deeds.
The main street, far away from the Empress Temple, is still busy with traffic.
Even though it's night, there's a lot of lights here. It's quite bright.
During the two days of the temple fair, there is no curfew at night.
The masses realized that as soon as the sun went down, they stopped walking to the Empress Temple and went to the bustling main street for fear of disturbing the peace of the gods and Mr. Zhu.
Among the bustling people, Yu Tingwan was carrying a beautiful and exquisite lantern. She was bright and beautiful, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak, shining with hope.
The lantern swayed again and again as she walked.
The man beside her followed her every step of the way, letting her do whatever she wanted.
But...
Wei Zhao: "Aren't you tired?"
He glanced at the sky.
"It's time to go back to sleep."
Yu Ting was tired late at night.
Even though she had dinner at a restaurant, she sat and rested for a long time.
The girl cleared her throat, leaned closer to avoid being overheard, and asked softly in his ear.
"Is this the usual kind of sleep?"
Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"Teasing me?"
Yu Tingwan:?
Wei Zhao: "How does the sugar and white bean juice you drink for dinner taste?"
“Delicious!”
Sweet!
Yu Tingwan drank a lot.
Wei Zhao: "Do you want to drink it next time?"
Yu Tingwan was about to nod when he met Wei Zhao's meaningful eyes, which made his scalp tingle.
Wei Zhao: "Understand me."
"You are not young at this age."
"When you first start eating meat, you have to think about it."
Yu Tingwan's legs felt weak after hearing this.
It hurt that night, but it was also comfortable.
But it's more of a reaction that the body can't control.
The girl hesitated, averting her eyes.
"Then I'm still very energetic and not too sleepy."
Wei Zhao chuckled: "Okay."
Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.
I don't know who shouted.
"I just passed by the Zhu Mansion and saw a group of officers and soldiers tying up the old lady of the Zhu family. Both the master and the slaves were all sent to the Yamen."
After saying this, the crowd suddenly fell silent.
Someone rushed over directly.
"Which Zhu family? Don't talk nonsense."
The speaker sighed: "Who else could it be from the Zhu family? I saw it with my own eyes, how could it still be framed?"
"Hey, that battle was incredible. It was scary just to look at it. If I hadn't seen the knives hanging on the waists of those officials, I would have wanted to ask the Zhu family if they had committed anything."
Everyone didn't believe it.
"How is this possible? The Zhu family did good deeds, so why did the government arrest people? There must be a misunderstanding. Could it be that they were arrested by mistake?"
"No, my son was chosen to be a boy a few years ago and was favored by the Zhu family. I can't watch them being wronged. I want to see it."
One person said that, and soon a group of people responded.
"I'll go too."
"I'm going too."
"Add me one more."
Seeing the excitement in the scene, someone suddenly ran quickly from a distance.
In early spring, the weather was still cold, but the man was sweating profusely on his forehead.
"It's not good."
"The masters of the Zhu family, the young masters of the Zhu family, the monks from the Empress Temple, and the servants are all being escorted to the cell now."
He gasped.
"The Zhu family...the Zhu family is probably guilty of something."
"I just saw something was wrong, so I followed them from a distance. I heard the county master said that the people should be separated for interrogation. He also ordered the police to go to the homes of other children who had been children, and invite the adults and children to the Yamen for questioning."< br>
"I don't know the rest..."
"But the monks in the Niangniang Temple seem to be... all fake monks, and they have no ultimatum."
The ultimatum is the monk's identity document and must be carried close to his body.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked shocked.
Yu Tingwan didn't know what they were thinking.
She turned to look at Wei Zhao.
After all, he was the one who reported it to the official.
"Then what kind of sorcery is the Zhu family doing?"
Wei Zhao did not hide it from her: "There is a kind of witchcraft in Miao territory that can borrow lives." "That witchcraft was introduced to the Jin Dynasty and was popular in the previous dynasties. But when the late emperor was still alive, his youngest son was killed by witchcraft, and the emperor was filled with grief and anger. Next, list it as a forbidden technique.”
"If anything appears, there is no need to report it to the imperial court. The local yamen have the power to kill them."
Yu Tingwan understood and asked: "Then Mr. Zhu borrowed the child's life?"
After speaking, she realized that her words were wrong and quickly changed them.
"Every year on the grounds of temple fair, I borrow one year of my life."
Wei Zhao: "As far as I know, if this kind of evil magic is used too much, the effect will be worse for Zhu Jiazi every time."
In the beginning, the two children shared the loan for one year, which was enough for him.
The next two children lived together for four years, which was only enough for him to live for one year.
Then six years, enough for him to live for one year.
The boy is small and easy to control, which is why the Zhu family chose him.
The practice of witchcraft every year does not mean that the wizards are incompetent.

Practices that take a long time can easily backfire.
Second, Zhu Jiazi's body could not bear the fate of many years.
Yu Tingwan digested all this.
She didn't need Wei Zhao to say anything before she already had a guess.
"The Zhu family is looking for a seriously ill child. First, no one will say anything if the child dies. The Zhu family is also willing to use various medicinal materials to feed and support him."
Children from poor families died of serious illness, mostly because they could not afford expensive medicinal materials.
There is no comparison between two-three-year-old ginseng and century-old ginseng. If the Zhu family is willing to give it, it can last for a while.
When the news spread that he could live longer, the Empress Temple became more and more popular, and more children would come to choose from next year.
Wei Zhao: "That's true, but there's one more thing."
"The yang energy in Zhu Jiazi's body can only be borrowed from children of similar age and horoscopes. The yang energy in children is too heavy. If it is coordinated by a weak body, the magic will progress more smoothly."
"If there is witchcraft in front of him, Zhu Jiazi will ask him if he wants it. If he gets a positive reply, he will let him drink the talisman water. In witchcraft, it is the so-called contract establishment."
The Zhu family really deserves to die.
Yu Tingwan digested all this.
Because of the commotion just now, many people left.
The streets became much emptier and less crowded.
There is a ferrule in the front.
The stall owner is an elderly woman. Chao Yu listened to Wan's greeting: "Girl, do you want to play with traps? There are five hoops for ten cents a round."
Yu Tingwan put down his thoughts and walked over.
The stalls are all handicrafts, all kinds of bamboo weaving.
Less than the size of a palm.
Seeing her watching, the old woman quickly said: "These are all made by my pregnant daughter-in-law. She is very handy and has no time to spare."
"I just thought about whether I could use it to make some money. If I save this money, I will have more money to spend when I have a child."
The old woman was kind and looked at her with a smile.
"You try it. If you buy twenty coins, I will give you two extra circles."
The business here is deserted and the bamboo products are worthless.
You can usually buy one for two cents.
Just have fun.
Yu Tingwan walked over.
Wei Zhao paid.
Twenty articles.
Yu Tingwan held twelve ferrules and felt that Wei Zhao had underestimated her.
It's not difficult to see. How could she not catch it?
She was very confident: "I will get a rabbit for my husband."
Yu Tingwan threw it hard.
The trap fell to the ground and rolled, but nothing was caught.
Then...
Her hands didn't obey her orders at all, so she tried ten more traps, but she didn't hit any of them.
Yu Tingwan couldn't accept it.
She felt that there was something wrong with the circle, not her.
Wei Zhao saw her purse her lips and took the last ferrule from the girl's hand.
"Which rabbit?"
Yes, there's a row of rabbits alone.
The shapes vary.
Yu Tingwan raised her finger: "That."
Wei Zhao: "Which one?"
Yu Tingwan said softly: "Just whichever one has the longer tail."
Wei Zhao thought his tail was too long.
With the old woman's permission, Yu Tingwan walked inside and clicked on the rabbit.
"This."
Wei Zhao asked: "After winning, will you give it to me again?"
It's indeed a bit outrageous.
But Yu Tingwan didn't know where he got the confidence, and it seemed like he would definitely succeed.
Yu Tingwan said angrily: "Then you can choose what you like."
Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows, estimated the force and angle, and the circle drew a beautiful arc in the air, moving downwards accurately.
It was put on Yu Tingwan's head, slid down, and hung around his neck.
Yu Tingwan:? ?
She was stunned and raised her eyes to look at Wei Zhao.
Wei Zhao chuckled and made a faint sound.
"Hit."
