In the morning, outside a house in a small alley in southeastern Jiankang, some white straight gathered.

While maintaining order, they blocked the people who surrounded and watched the fun.

Several officials rushed along the street, spreading away the crowd gathered on the street, and walking towards the house to deal with an emergency.

Among them, Qian Hui, an official from Jiankang County, heard his colleagues in charge of the road tell the reason for the incident.

Sima, Hezhou, returned to Beijing to report his work. He fell in love with a young lady and "recruited" her godmother.

It is said that the young lady is as beautiful as a flower, so her godmother received a large amount of "benefactory gift" and set a date.

When it was time, today, the person sent by the Sima family to "welcome the bride" was lost: the godmother said that the little lady had a look at someone and ran away lustfully.

The person is gone, and all the betrothal gifts he received before will be refunded.

The person who welcomed the bride was not willing to believe it. He only said that this woman must have "married" the little lady to give a favor with a higher price, and she would never accept the gift, just for the person.

After a riot, it alarmed the government. The officials who came to adjust the matter were involved in the court ministers and did not dare to neglect:

Sima Xiaonan was a high-ranking official of Qi who fled south. Although he lived in Jiangbiao, he was always a distinguished guest of the court. If this matter is not handled properly, these minor officials will be unlucky.

Moreover, these godmothers often watch food and eat: if their daughter is attracted by multiple benefactors, they may not marry the first person to be hired.

So these people occasionally break the contract and "marry" their daughters to those who offer high prices.

Now, it is obvious that Sima Envoy is "unfamiliar with the place", so he bullies his life.

So the official asked the godmother only for the need for someone.

There was no way for him to tell the truth: someone actually paid a higher price to take her "daughter".

In desperation, they had to lead the way. The group found Na Enke's place to stay, but found that the room was empty.

Fortunately, the godmother was too scrupulous and worried that after breach of contract, Sima Yingnan would not forgive him, so she arranged an eyeliner in advance to stare at Na Enke.

The reason is that once Sima disappears, there is room for recovery.

With this move, the group soon found the alley southeast of Jiankang and found the little lady's house: the house in front of her.

As a result, something amazing was broken: they found that in the backyard of a house, someone used a woman as "sacrifice" and performed some kind of ritual.

Because there were many people coming to find people, the people in the house fled in a hurry, leaving behind a messy scene and a woman who was "sacrificing".

This woman is the little lady everyone is looking for.

I was confused at the time and seemed to have been fed medicine.

Because there were officials on the scene, they immediately investigated and decided that they were casting magic and doing witchcraft here, and they were disgusted with prayer.

"Witchcraft? Then..." Qian Hui thought of a possibility, but was not sure. His colleague guessed what the other party wanted to say, nodded, and whispered: "It's aimed at the nobles in the palace."

Qian Hui's heart moved: This is amazing, maybe it's a lot of involvement!

They entered the house and turned to the backyard, but saw a pattern on a flat ground covered with lime. Someone was painting aside and wanted to draw the pattern.

Because there was an official at the scene at the time of the incident, and stopped others from moving the items on the scene, the pattern was very complete and Qian Hui looked carefully.

The pattern, which is a huge circle, seems to be painted with red pigment.

There is a hexagon inside the circle, and the vertices of the hexagon are six small circles, and there are blocked patterns in the circle.

On the six sides of the hexagon, unrecognizable characters are written in red pigment, as if they are written as spells.

In the hexagon, the spaced vertices (three vertices) form a triangle.

The three sides of the triangle are also written with irrecognizable characters, which are suspected to be spells. There are three small circles at the center of each side, and there are also patterns inside the circle.

There is an incisive circle inside the triangle, and at the center of the circle, there is half a piece of armor standing.

Qian Hui looked closely and took a breath of air conditioning: This was clearly a half-piece skeleton wearing armor and a skull!

The whole scene seemed to be someone doing it here, calling out an armored skeleton from the ground, and the sacrifice was the woman.

As a result, the ritual was suddenly interrupted, and the skeleton that had just crawled out of half of his body was "fixed" on the ground.

This situation seems a bit cunning. Qian Hui thought of it for a moment and thought of it a possibility:

Someone used magic to summon skeletons from the ground. If it weren't for being suddenly interrupted by outsiders, then the skeleton would probably have to kill someone's life after crawling out from the ground.

Next to him, several officials who were surveying the scene brought a plate. Qian Hui looked at it and saw a small wooden man and a jade pendant on the plate.

"When I arrived, the half of the skeleton was lying on the ground, as if to crawl out, but..." a clerk whispered, pointing to the things in the plate.

"This skeleton bit the wooden man in his mouth, and grabbed a jade pendant in his left hand."

"The wooden man has characters written, with birth date and horoscopes, and names..." The official's voice was lowered, "It's the name of today..."

That's true! Witchcraft!

Qian Hui and other colleagues understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and did not talk loudly.

At that time, Prince Zhaoming searched for a cemetery for his deceased mother. However, after a Taoist priest saw it, he said that the cemetery was not good and would be unfavorable to the prince. He suggested burying lagoons to prevent disasters.

Prince Zhaoming did as he did, but was sued by the villain to the emperor and said, "The prince did witchcraft."

The emperor sent someone to check it out and found out that the geese were dug out, so he suspected that the prince cursed himself and died quickly.

Although he did not treat the prince in the end, he killed many of the people and Taoist priests involved in the incident and since then he was very distant from the prince.

The prince was depressed all day long, and he refused to treat him after an accident, or even told the emperor, and eventually died of serious injuries.

The emperor seemed to hold a grudge against the prince's "witchcraft". After the prince's death, his son was unable to be the crown prince, and the third prince took over the position of crown prince, which is the grandfather of the current emperor.

Therefore, once witchcraft is involved, it is very important. How dare these minor officials talk too much?

However, what should be asked must be asked: "Where is the jade pendant?"

"The jade pendant is the little lady's object. There is no text on it, and I don't know what the purpose is."

When Qian Hui heard this, he looked at the woman who was wearing a cloak and crying under the eaves next to her.

Two officials were guarding the side and comforting in a low voice.

It seems that this is the little lady who was attracted by Sima's envoy and turned out to be sold to the higher price by her godmother.

Qian Hui looked at the jade pendant on the plate, then looked at the half-armored skeleton on the ground next to him, and was puzzled.

The wooden man with the emperor's name is supposed to be a witchcraft product, but what about the jade pendant and the little lady?

If a specific person is required to sacrifice when casting spells, who is this little lady? Where is the jade pendant?
