When the carriage was approaching the gate of Prince Jing'an's Mansion, a familiar voice from a distance came over: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Please help me, veteran!!"
Ye Qiqi was slightly startled, what was this voice
She turned her head and glanced at Mo Hanqing, then reached out to lift the curtain of the car window and looked outside the carriage. She saw Mr. Gu holding the hem of his robe with both hands and looking at him with an expression on his face that was about to cry. Came over in a carriage.
With a sound of "Hu-", the coachman tightened the reins of the carriage and stopped the carriage.
Mr. Gu rushed to the carriage, knelt down with a "pop" sound, and said loudly towards the carriage: "Your Highness, Your Highness, a big case has happened recently. I haven't slept a wink for two days and two nights, but I still can't sleep." I don’t have any clue, please, Your Highness, please save me and do me a favor.”
Mo Hanqing frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, slowly walked out of the carriage, looked down at Mr. Gu and said, "Stand up and speak."
"Yes." Master Gu responded and quickly stood up.
As soon as he stood up like this, Ye Qiqi realized that after not seeing him for a while, Mr. Gu suddenly looked a lot more haggard. His hair and beard, which were already gray, now seemed to be even more gray. His face was full of wrinkles. , with a haggard expression, anxious eyes, and two big black circles hanging openly on his face.
"What happened?" Mo Hanqing frowned and asked in a low voice when she saw Master Gu's hair was a little messy.
"Returning to Your Highness, the yamen of the capital city came to report the day before yesterday that some strange things were caught in the river on the outskirts of the city." Mr. Gu straightened up and said to Mo Hanqing: "That day there were several village women near the outskirts of the city. We went to the river to wash clothes together, and while we were washing, a white thing suddenly floated in the river. The village women were curious, so they fished up the white thing and took a look. When I looked at it, I realized it was actually a human hand..."
"Manpower?" Mo Hanqing frowned slightly.
"Yes, when the village women found out that a human hand was fished out, they immediately reported it to the officials. The people from the yamen fished in the small river for a whole day, and in the end they only fished out some mutilated limbs." Master Gu looked at Mo Hanqing with a haggard look on his face and said, "But no one has gone missing in the capital recently, so it is difficult for us to confirm the identity of the deceased."
"What did Wu Zuo say?" Mo Hanqing pondered for a moment, and then asked Master Gu.
"Wu Zuo said that judging from the incomplete limbs discovered so far, the deceased should be a woman." Master Gu sighed, shook his head and said: "Judging from the bone age, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. "
Mo Hanqing listened to Master Gu's words and didn't speak for a while.
"Because the place where the body parts were found was near a village on the outskirts of the city. Although that place is remote, it is the only way to enter the capital. In the past few days, rumors have begun to appear in the capital. It is estimated that in a few days, Your Majesty We'll know, by then... If the case hasn't been solved yet... Old minister... Old minister..." Mr. Gu was talking, and he was about to cry.
Mo Hanqing waved his hand and said in a low voice: "I understand, and after I send the princess back, I will go and have a look with you."
