I fought back after reselling my engagement

At this moment, a woman's shrill scream was heard near Baixianzhuang Farm.

When the guards and people from the village arrived, the woman threw herself on a man: "Liu Da, what's wrong with you? Liu Da..."

The man in the farmland was dead, with a big hole in his chest. His expression was hideous and terrified, as if he had suffered a great fright before he died.

When Chunjiang and Xiaoluo arrived, Liu Da had already been covered by a piece of cloth.

“It was a tragic death.”

"Died from having his heart ripped out."

"With so many guards at Baixian Manor, how could Liu Da die in the fields?"

Someone nearby looked around and lowered his voice, "A monster appeared in Baixian Manor. It's obvious that it wasn't killed by humans. With so many guards, if someone came in, they would definitely find it."

"Monsters killing people?"

Another person asked, "Eating human hearts? Could it be a fox demon?"

Liu Da died, his heart was dug out.

There was a lot of discussion at Baixianzhuang.

Just as rumors were spreading, the next evening, Liu Da's youngest daughter Liu Hui Ni died behind her house.

Another person died, but the murderer was not found out. He also died of a heart attack.

On the morning of the third day, Master Liu, the ironworker in the car workshop, had not been seen for a long time. When people from other ironworks went to call for him, they found him dead in his residence, lying on the bed. He had also died of heart-ripping out.

After an inspection by the guards, they strangely discovered that there was a pool of blood outside Su Zhen's iron smelting room, which was eventually confirmed to be human blood.

Su Zhenzhen was concentrating on making puppets and fireworks. Saltpeter, also known as gunpowder, can be made into weapons and fireworks. In the five thousand years of Chinese civilization, the Chinese used saltpeter to make fireworks, while foreign countries used it to make ammunition.

"One saltpeter, two sulfur, and three charcoal" can be made into firecrackers, and as long as the formula is right, they can be made into fireworks.

Just do it!

Su Zhen looked for paper and paper tubes. She had only seen homemade fireworks in short videos in her previous life.

Although there are firecrackers in this world, there are no fireworks. After she made a few, she waited until dark, entered the golden bead space, and set off a few of them. Each one was more beautiful than the last, from the blue and red first one to the colorful sixth one. They were just ordinary fireworks. They would be more beautiful if they could be made into animal shapes.

She looked at the record book, which recorded the recipe and method of making each firework. She knew how to make ones with animals, so she made a dragon and a phoenix. In the Great Qi, the dragon and the phoenix were both regarded as great auspicious signs.

After making it for the second time, she went to the space to test it. The dragon-shaped fireworks did not look like a dragon, but more like a snake; the phoenix-shaped fireworks did not look like a phoenix, but more like an unknown bird.

It was still not vivid enough, so I tried the second set, and it was 50% similar to the dragon; the phoenix was also half similar.

After checking her notes, she conducted further experiments and redid it, improving the production technique on the colored paper part. She knew she had succeeded. The third set was at least 80% similar, and it was impossible for them to be exactly the same and lifelike.

Dramatic changes took place in Baixian Manor, but Su Zhen was completely unaware of it because he was in seclusion conducting research.

After the fireworks were completed, she refined the puppet again and compared the two failures. The second time it could clearly move, but it failed again.

The third time she made a substitute puppet, she made a hand gesture and the substitute puppet moved, transforming into a phantom that was exactly the same as her. Once someone attacked, it would be the substitute puppet that was killed instead of her, which was equivalent to having an extra life.

It worked, it actually worked!

Su Zhen was overjoyed and completed the notes in his notebook for future use.

When I walked out of the iron smelting room, it was early morning. The air was fresh after the rain, and the weather was warming up with a slight coolness.

It is May and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and farmers should be busy planting yam.

She walked all the way to the main courtyard. In the past, there were always people along this road, but today, after walking for a long time, she didn't see anyone. When she entered the main courtyard, she heard Xiao Luo shouting, "Princess!"

Chunjiang poked his head out of the main courtyard and followed Xiaoluo out of the courtyard.

Something is wrong. In the past, there must have been people walking in this garden, but now there is no one.

Su Zhen asked, "What happened?"

"Princess..." Xiao Luo looked strange.

Su Zhen said: "Go ahead."

Chun Jiang said: "Last time the princess took the dry food and fruit wine and went into seclusion in the iron smelting room, first Liu Da of the chicken and duck family died tragically, then Liu Da's daughter died, and later Master Liu of the iron workshop was found dead in his bed, and then there were rumors that a monster that eats human hearts appeared in Baixian Village.

A month ago, Aunt Liu, Liu Dawa and Liu Erwa all died, also from having their hearts torn out.

There are rumors in the capital that the princess is a monster who can go without food, water, sleep or rest for a month. Some people also say that the princess killed all the dead people..."

Su Zhen found it ridiculous. In her three lifetimes as a human, she had never killed anyone. At most, she had killed a few chickens and ducks.

Xiao Luo said: "Now...now the entire Baixian Manor is surrounded."

Who said she didn't eat or drink?

"I don't eat or drink. Every time I enter the workshop, don't I take away some dry food and fruit wine? There are so many big and small bags. Don't I eat these things? If the food is not gone, I will not come out."

She came out because the substitute puppet was made and the fireworks were also made. She needed to present the fireworks to the emperor, and it would be up to the emperor to decide whether to promote them on a large scale.

Making fireworks is very expensive.

Chun Jiang said: "We explained it, but rumors spread from the capital. Now many people know about it. Some merchant ships and merchants passing through Yueyang will also ask about Baixian Manor."

Su Zhen was quite helpless, "Are all the dead people surnamed Liu?"

"No, not all of them. There are also pig farmers, fruit farmers, and vegetable farmers. People have died in every household. A month ago, people from the imperial court came to take away all the people from the car workshop, sewing machine workshop, opera garden, and farm. Now the entire Baixian Manor has been surrounded by the Supervisory Guards. People can only enter but not leave."

How could a princess be a monster?

Twelve people died in the villa, including men, women, old people and children. The only thing they had in common was that they died from having their hearts dug out. Their deaths were miserable.

The rumor that Princess Jiaxing was a man-eating monster became more and more popular, but some people also said that it had nothing to do with the princess and that it was a fox demon that was causing the trouble.

There were people in the Supervisory Guard who respected her as their leader, but so many unexpected changes happened all of a sudden.

When Su Zhen came out, it was no wonder that she felt the surroundings were deserted. It turned out that except for the three of them, everyone else in the villa had left.

Chun Jiang said: "Princess, what should we do now?"

Su Zhen sighed softly, "How are my grandparents and the Su family?"

"The Su family is fine. They have been ordered not to approach Baixian Manor. Princess, right now, apart from the soldiers guarding the manor, there are only three of us in the manor."

"Why don't you leave?"

"The princess is such a kind person, how could she be a monster? That's a false accusation!" Xiao Luo was very angry.

The spring river is silent.

Xiao Luo continued, "In March, the princess came out of seclusion. Princess Changle asked about Liu Da and Master Liu. They were the first to die. After that, it was the other farmers."

Su Zhen asked: "Where are Xia Yang, Chun Feng, Chun Mei and others?"
