"Aren't you angry? There is nothing to gain tonight." Meng Huo felt that his arrangements were very strict, but he did not expect that there were still omissions.
"What's the use of being angry? Why don't you go to sleep first, and wait until you wake up and eat enough to talk about it. Besides, it's not a little gain, isn't there a corpse? Someone will know him, unless he is in a mouse hole. It jumped out." Ping An pulled him to sleep quickly.
Hearing what she said, Meng Huo was relieved, and the two fell asleep together.
The next day, when the two of them woke up, it was almost noon. After washing, Ping An immediately asked for food to be brought in.
"My lord, Miss, Concubine Chu and the others have been waiting all morning and want to greet you." Shui'er reported to the two.
"Tell them, the prince and I are fine, let them go back, I'm hungry now, I don't have time to see them." Ping An has already started eating.
Let the three of them come in, it is estimated that there will be a lot of nonsense, whether I am eating or talking.
So, let's blast away first.
Meng Huo had no objection, he didn't want to see women other than her.
After eating and drinking, Meng Huo had to go to Shuntian Mansion to inquire about last night's situation, but Ping An insisted on following him, so he had to let her change into a guard's attire and follow him.
After the two arrived at Shuntian Mansion, Fu Yin personally came to pick them up, and at the same time told about yesterday's situation. The female thief was very cunning, and she quickly got rid of the officers and soldiers who were chasing her.
The man's body was still inside, Meng Huo followed in and saw the body covered by a white cloth.
Someone pulled the white cloth back, revealing a man's face. This man was very ordinary-looking, and his skin was slightly dark. He didn't look like the kind of pampered person, the kind of person who can't be found after throwing it in the crowd.
"Does anyone know him?" Meng Huo asked.
"Not yet."
"You stop him here, do you still expect someone to come and identify the body?" Ping An asked very speechlessly.
Fu Yin looked at her, and Meng Huo said, "What can you do?"
"Hang people on the city wall, and reward them with a hundred taels. Don't worry, there will be news soon."
After hearing this, Meng Huo thought it was feasible.
Fu Yin felt that something was wrong, and was afraid that it would make people feel cruel.
"You publicize what this man and that woman did, and you see whether everyone feels happy or cruel." Ping An really obeyed this ancient official, and his head seemed to be filled with mud.
"Let's do it this way. Post the reward in the afternoon and hang the person on it." Meng Huo ordered, and even if the governor didn't listen, he went to do it immediately.
In fact, the emperor didn't let the eighth prince take care of this matter, but only left it to him. He was almost worried. Now that the eighth prince is willing to take the lead, he is of course happy.
Sure enough, as expected, someone recognized the man before nightfall.
It turned out that he was a buddy of a merchant in the city of Kyoto.
Rent in a small yard in Kyoto City.
Shuntian Mansion immediately went to the small courtyard to fetch people, but it was in vain, the courtyard was empty.
Then the merchant and all the guys in the merchant were brought back for questioning.
Meng Huo and Ping An were also there during the questioning.
In the end, the owner of the merchant said that this person was not from Kyoto. He once went to the south to buy goods, and passed by a place called Qiyun Mountain. He was robbed by bandits there and almost died. It was this guy who saved him.
At that time, the guy said that he had no relatives and no reason, and wanted to follow him to the capital to do something, so the boss brought him along. After all, he was his savior, so he just brought it for food, and he could still do it.
