When Changxing Hou Ru was struck by lightning, it took a while for him to recover and strode forward: "Master Zhen, what's going on here?"
Zhen Shicheng wiped his hands with a handkerchief with a serious expression: "Master Hou, let's talk about it when we're done."
"This, this—" Changxing Hou sweat poured down like a rain, turning over countless thoughts in his heart.
He is not a fool, his son seemed to be too nervous just now, as if he had known for a long time that a body would be dug up here—
Does it mean that a man was killed by his son
Mrs. Changxinghou had already heard the news and rushed over, and the moment she saw the body, her eyes rolled over and fainted.
The servant girl who followed was so frightened that she was helpless, and the garden was in chaos again.
Jiang Qian hid in it, her face as pale as a ghost.
She knew that the pervert had killed so many people, and he couldn't hide it sooner or later!
She subconsciously looked at the Prince of Changxing, but saw that the Prince of Changxing looked at her calmly, his eyes were like a cold pool, with a strong warning.
Jiang Qian hurriedly looked away.
The Prince of Changxing raised the corner of his lips.
This stupid woman did a lot of cover for him, thinking she could run away if something happened to him
Next to the flowers, Jiang Qiao gently touched Jiang Si: "Fourth Sister—"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Shi looked at Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao's lips were pale: "The corpse—"
She felt inappropriate, and shook her head again: "Forget it, we'll talk about it when we leave this place of right and wrong."
At this time, although many noble ladies thought so, but no one proposed to leave in the fright.
When a terrifying thing is faced together in broad daylight, the horror seems to give way to curiosity.
Another body was exhumed.
Zhen Shicheng was silent for a moment, and then ordered one of his subordinates: "Go to the yamen and call someone!"
It was said that he went to the yamen to call someone, but Zhen Shicheng had already arranged eyeliner outside the Changxing Hou Mansion. Once the body was actually found in the Hou Mansion, as soon as the subordinate came out of the mansion, he would immediately go back and call someone, and the guard was the Changxing Hou Mansion.
Luckily, he was in time to hold a flower viewing banquet at the Changxing Hou Mansion today. Unless the Hou Mansion silenced all these noble ladies, they would never dare to stop him.
"Master Zhen—" When faced with such a thing, Marquis Changxing no longer knew what to say.
He wanted to stop it but there was no reason, but if he didn't stop it and make things bigger, the reputation of the Hou Mansion would be ruined.
"Master Hou, now there's a murder case, and it's still two lives. You should cooperate with this officer to find out the truth." Zhen Shicheng stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.
The two digging subordinates held flower shovels and waited for Zhen Shicheng's next order.
At this moment, the big dog suddenly came out, and continued to dig the soil in the deep hole dug.
Zhen Shicheng's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Continue digging!"
"Yes!" The two subordinates picked up their shovels and continued to dig, sweating profusely after a while.
"Master Hou, ask the servants to bring some flower hoes. A hoe is better than a flower shovel."
Marquis Changxing's expression changed, and he finally nodded.
The digger changed his hoe, and it really sped up.
Not long after, a body was dug up.
It was said that it was a corpse, but in fact white bones were already seen, and there was still meat hanging on the bones.
Another body was exhumed.
Everything was quiet, and everyone forgot to breathe. Seeing the corpses being dug up, they felt cold all over their bodies.
The yamen of Shuntian Prefecture had already arrived to continue the excavation in place of the two subordinates.
Large peony flowers have long been dug to pieces, and the odor permeates the entire garden.
Those noble girls who were still thinking about watching the fun had already lost their faces in fright. One after another, some people fainted and were sent back to the house by the following maids, but there were also a few daring noble girls who were white-faced and planned to wait for a result.
Who killed so many corpses!
Is it the Prince of Changxing Hou
There are always smart girls in the world, the calm girl from before looked at the Prince of Changxing from a distance.
Even if there is no evidence, she still thinks this person is the murderer.
Soon it was noon, and the diggers had already rotated several times, but the hoes they were waving did not stop.
Finally, after tossing and turning in the soil and finding nothing, the yamen stood up straight.
One, two, three...
A full ten corpses were lying on the ground, and what was later excavated were broken bones. Only the skull with a deep hollow let people know that this once was a living person, perhaps a bright and beautiful woman.
Zhen Shicheng was silent.
He knows that people hate people, but the facts often break through people's imaginations.
Ten bodies, ten victims.
If it wasn't for Xiu Niangzi and Chi Xunwai's bizarre and absurd daughter's ghost, if it wasn't for his thought that he would rather believe it or not, would these people never see the light of day and become fertilizers for peony flowers.
In the whole garden, only the sound of Zuzuo busy seemed to be heard, and everyone was silent.
The Marquis of Changxing couldn't hold it any longer, and finally broke the silence.
"Master Zhen, Ben Hou really doesn't know, you must believe me—"
Zhen Shicheng smiled: "I believe that Hou Ye didn't know, but everything depends on the evidence."
"Some daring servant must have committed the evil!" Hou Changxing said anxiously.
"Master Hou, this official has said that who is the murderer to see the evidence."
"Evidence?" Hou Changxing narrowed his eyes. "Everyone already has this kind of evidence. If there is no evidence, Mr. Zhen wouldn't suspect the masters of the Hou residence?"
Zhen Shicheng smiled slightly: "Master Hou, don't be in a hurry, this official has been handling cases for many years, and I have not handled a single unjust case. This official has always believed that as long as what he has done will always leave traces, even if the murderer is more careful, the victim will tell us. some information."
"What? Dead people can talk?" Zhen Shicheng's novel remarks made many people forget their fears and couldn't help but talk.
"Of course the dead can speak, but only those who really want to avenge them can read it!" Zhen Shicheng strode over to the corpses and reminded him, "Check the freshest corpse first!"
Zuo Zuo gave up the job of checking the cause of death of all the corpses, and came to carefully examine the first corpse dug up.
The smell of this corpse was also the most unbearable.
Kazukaku was unaffected, and dutifully checked his hair down.
Jiang Si stood not far away and watched coldly, clenching his hands quietly.
Will the emerald button in the female corpse's hand be found
Zuzuo finally inspected the female corpse's hand and saw that one of her hands was clenched tightly. Out of experience, he hurriedly opened the clenched hand carefully, and then his eyes lit up.
"My lord, I found something!" Zuzuo shouted excitedly.
"What did you find?"
Zuzuo spread out his hands, and a button lay in the palm of his hand.
It was an emerald bat-patterned button, exuding an expensive and extraordinary light in the sun.
Such a button is not something that the servants of the Hou Mansion should have.
Zhen Shicheng stared at the button and suddenly pulled the corner of his lips.
He had just seen such a button!
Zhen Shicheng slowly looked towards the Prince of Changxing Hou.
Changxing Hou Shizi subconsciously covered the front of his shirt.
