Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 1972 Beautiful Pictures

An was kneeling on the ground, and when he heard Wan Shufang's words, he lowered his head even more.

"Master, there is one more thing. Today, they will also hold a banquet. Miss Caixia stabbed Chu Yaozu yesterday, but it was not in the eye, but the skin next to the eye."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang snorted coldly and clenched the handkerchief in her hand: "It's a pity that he was not blinded. Go and gather the secret guards, and we will go meet these people."

"Yes, ma'am."

An Yi stood up and, according to Wan Shufang's instructions, summoned all the people who remained in Guiyun Town. Wan Shufang went into the space and made a human skin mask for herself.

She disguised herself as a dandy and successfully sneaked into the places where those young masters played. She sat in the corner low-key and said nothing.

After waiting for a while, Chu Yaozu stood on the high platform and took out a painting of 100 beauties, his face full of pride: "Look, this is the painting of 100 beauties that I spent a lot of effort on for three months."

Chu Yaozu still had gauze wrapped around the left side of his face, which made him look somewhat funny. As if to show off, he asked his followers to hold up the Hundred Beauties Painting and show it to everyone present one by one. Exclamations of surprise were heard all around.

"It has to be Master Chu. He got so many beauties in just three months."

"It is said that Master Chu is our eldest brother. Master Chu, if you see a beauty in the future, remember to invite us to come and see her together."

"Hmph, when I get tired of playing with it, I will give it to you." Chu Yaozu snorted, and in the hustle and bustle, the Hundred Beauties Picture was passed to Wan Shufang.

The so-called "Hundred Beauties" is a picture of various beauties making charming gestures and asked people to draw them. There are countless beauties on it, and the scroll is three feet long...

Wan Shufang clenched her fists and suppressed the urge to rush up and beat Chu Yaozu. She watched the scroll being taken away from her and took a deep breath.

"Chu Yaozu, these are all victims. One day, you will have to pay for your actions." Wan Shufang stared at Chu Yaozu. Perhaps her eyes were too sharp, which made the people on the stage realize something.

But when Chu Yaozu came over, that gaze disappeared again.

Wan Shufang had been secretly collecting evidence. After the banquet, she hurried back to the charity hall. She spent the whole night sorting out the evidence.

The next morning, she went to find the town government. With the help of Chen Changli's token, Wan Shufang successfully met the town supervisor.

"Madam, I wonder what you have to say by coming here?" The supervising officer was very respectful, with a smile on his face. He welcomed Wan Shufang in and ordered someone to serve tea.

The tea in front of her was filled with smoke. Wan Shufang pursed her lips and did not rush to reveal the purpose of her visit. She just smiled and said, "I just happened to pass by and came to take a look."

"Chen Changli has something to do, so he asked me to come to the government office by myself. Speaking of which, this is my first time in this town, and I always feel that there are not enough girls here."

Hearing this, the town supervisor sighed, with a helpless look on his face: "Madam, you don't know that in our town over the past few decades, many women have disappeared."

"But I checked and didn't find any clues. The court also sent people to come, but they couldn't find out the truth. The townspeople suddenly became weird and kept saying that they didn't offer sacrifices on time in previous years, and the river god was angry and sacrificed the women."

"They are all young girls, and they are very pitiful..." The town supervisor sighed deeply and wiped his sweat dejectedly. Seeing his look, Wan Shufang couldn't bear to blame him too much.

But thinking of the purpose of her visit today, she took a sip of tea and said calmly: "The idea of ​​offering sacrifices to the river god sounds obviously nonsense. Your Excellency is a member of the imperial court and has been an official for many years. Do you believe this?"

"I naturally don't believe it, but everyone in this town, without exception, believes it to be true. The law cannot hold everyone responsible, so there is nothing I can do."

He was just a small town supervisor. The people in the town believed in the river god. If he really went against the people and resisted the river god, it would only backfire.

Wan Shufang also understood this, and remained silent. The atmosphere was tense for a moment. Just when the town supervisor was confused about Wan Shufang's thoughts, she took the lead in speaking, breaking the silence: "This is embarrassing for you, sir."

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I have things to do over there. Please stay, sir."

She saluted the town supervisor, then turned and left. Back at the inn, Wan Shufang stayed indoors and carefully thought about a plan to get rid of Chu Yaozu in one fell swoop.

This thought lasted the whole day. Just as it was getting dark, someone knocked on the door of the room, interrupting Wan Shufang's thoughts. She didn't look up, but said in a cold voice, "Come in."

The door was pushed open with a creaky sound. Wan Shufang still didn't look at the person who came in, thinking it was An Yi, until a shadow fell on her head and a familiar smell came, and she suddenly raised her eyes.

"Chen Changli!"

The moment she saw Chen Changli, Wan Shufang was very happy and hugged him tightly: "Chen Changli, why did you come back so soon?"

"I already know about Caixia's situation, Shufang, eat something first, I'll take care of this matter."

Chen Changli reached out his hand, gently touched the ends of her hair, picked up the food he had just put down on the table, and gently fed it to Wan Shufang.

The man said nothing and had a cold expression. Although he didn't say it, Wan Shufang knew that he was angry, and very angry.

"Changli, this matter is also my fault for being too careless."

"It's not your fault. If a son is not well-educated, it's the fault of his father. Chu Yaozu dared to do this. His father, the county magistrate, has a big problem. He allowed his son to kill people, treat human lives as worthless, and forcibly take a girl. He deserves to die."

When saying this, there was no trace of emotion on Chen Changli's face, as if he was just talking about a very ordinary thing. Seeing him like this, Wan Shufang reached out her hand to help him relax his brows.

Thinking of what she heard when she met the town supervisor today, Wan Shufang stopped Chen Changli's hand from feeding her, snatched the bowl away and put it on the table, looking anxiously.

"But now, we have something more important to do. Changli, do you know that those girls who disappeared inexplicably, the townspeople said it was because they did not offer sacrifices to the river god, and the river god took revenge on them."

"With rumors about ghosts and gods, no one has thought of looking for those girls. This is why Chu Yaozu can be free and easy. Now the most urgent task is to break the rumors about ghosts and gods so that those girls will not be affected."

Hearing this, Chen Changli fell silent. After a moment, he suddenly stood up and took Wan Shufang's hand, saying, "Let's go to the place of sacrifice."

"it is good."

The two were about to leave, but Chen Changli stopped, looked back at the dishes on the table, and pulled them back to sit down.

"Go after you eat. You haven't eaten anything all day."

Looking at the food being fed to her mouth, Wan Shufang smiled helplessly, but finally obeyed obediently. After finishing the meal, the two of them, along with the secret guards, went to the place of sacrifice together.
