The bright moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is like frost.
The petals of the peony are slightly closed, as if the charming and charming girl in the daytime took off her costume and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Si took a light sniff, and his face immediately became difficult to look at.
She no longer hesitated, and went to the root of the wall to bring the flower shovel that the gardener had left there for some unknown time, and walked slowly around the peony bush.
She wanted to find the place where the corpse stench was thickest.
Soon Jiang Si stopped in one place and squatted down to look at it by the moonlight.
The soil there looks softer and should have been turned over not long ago.
Jiang Shi's hand holding the flower shovel tightened.
She had a vague idea of what she was going to see under this peony flower, and it would be a lie to say that she was not nervous.
However, she had to see it with her own eyes to be at ease anyway.
Jiang like a shovel went down and dug up a handful of soil.
Because there was no light on, the color of the soil could not be carefully distinguished only by the moonlight. Jiang Shi gritted his teeth and digged with shovel after shovel, and the stench lingering on his nose became stronger and stronger.
The soil on both sides gradually piled up, and when another shovel went down, the tip of the shovel suddenly touched something.
Jiang Si's heart was beating wildly, and she immediately stopped to look there.
In the black and yellow soil, I vaguely see something, but I can't tell what it is.
Jiang seemed to settle down, leaned in to take a closer look, and finally saw what it was.
That's a human hand!
Jiang Si suddenly stepped back, his heart beating like thunder.
She can be sure that it is a human hand, and what is buried under this enchanting peony flower is not a cat or a dog, but a human corpse!
However, it is not enough.
This is the back garden of the Marquis of Changxing. Even if the corpse buried here is exposed, the Marquis of Changxing can still find a ghost.
Who can prove that the victim under the peony flower was killed by the Prince of Changxing
As long as the Marquis of Changxing insisted that it was the servants of the mansion who committed the murder, there were a hundred ways to get the prince of the Marquis of Changxing out. By then, the Marquis of Changxing would at most have a reputation for lax governance.
Temporarily can't beat the grass and startle the snake!
This thought flashed through Jiang Si's mind, and without being disgusted and fearful, she quickly filled up the dug with a flower shovel.
The bright moon hides in the dark clouds, and the night seems to be thicker.
Just when the last shovel of soil had just been filled back, Jiang Si suddenly froze.
She smelled fresh blood!
Although no other movement was heard now, the smell couldn't hide from her nose.
What surprised Jiang Si even more was that the bloody smell was getting stronger and stronger, which meant that the source of the smell was getting closer and closer to her.
Jiang Si held the flower shovel tightly and quickly lowered his body, barely covering his figure with the peony bushes, and looked in the direction of the smell through the flower branches.
Next, she opened her eyes suddenly.
Here comes!
There were two people walking in the direction of her carrying something in tandem.
At this time, the moon just came out of the clouds, and Jiang Xi could clearly see through the moonlight that they were two young men dressed as servants.
carried by two servants—
Jiang Xia fixedly looked at the object between the two, and as the strong smell of blood continued to stimulate her every nerve, she could already determine what it was.
It was a corpse wrapped in sheets and other objects!
At this time, in this location, and with the pungent bloody smell, she certainly wouldn't be naive to think that the person wrapped in the sheets was still alive.
Are they here to bury the body
Jiang Si's thoughts turned sharply, and she watched the two servants get closer and closer, although she was shocked but not panic.
Two ordinary servants, when it was really necessary, she could still deal with them.
Of course, for the current Jiang Si, it is best not to be discovered.
As the two servants got closer, Jiang Si calmed down, and even the thunderous heartbeat returned to normal.
Danger always coexists with opportunity. Although the sudden appearance of these two people brought the risk of being discovered, it also gave her the possibility to know more information.
The two servants stopped not far from the peony bushes and put the corpse on the ground. One of them said in a low voice, "Let's work, go back as soon as possible."
Another person muttered: "I thought this little lady could live a few more days, who would have thought that she would be tossed by the prince today. It's really bad luck, I went to bed early today..."
Jiang Si looked at the two servants carefully through the gap between the flowers and trees, and found that both of them were wrapped in soft cloths, and there was no nervousness on their faces when they spoke.
The cold air came out of Jiang Xi's heart.
Knowing that the soles of their feet were wrapped in a soft cloth to reduce movement, and there was no nervousness, it showed that the two of them were quite skilled at burying their bodies in the middle of the night.
And this kind of proficiency means that I don't know how many bodies have been buried like this.
"Stop complaining. The prince went out at night, and when he came back, his face was not quite right. It is estimated that something went wrong and he found this little lady. You can only blame this little lady for her short life, and she should die today. "
"Brother Lu Zi, I don't know why I'm always a little uneasy. Do you think we will be punished if we do too much of this kind of thing?"
Jiang Shi, who was hiding behind the flowers, bit her lip and sneered.
She promises that they will be punished!
Now you can know without guessing that after Changxing Hou Shizi left her, he had nowhere to vent his evil thoughts, so he found the girl who had died in front of him.
From the conversation between the two servants, it can be determined that the dead girl was not a servant girl in the house, but a daughter from a good family outside.
"Retribution? Do you really believe this? In the past two years, we have buried eight or ten corpses for the prince. Which one do you think has turned into a ghost?" People were killed by the prince, we just helped to bury the corpses, this is to let them go to the ground for peace, but it is still a good deed, how can they be retributed?"
There was a sentence that the servant didn't have a good time to say: If he was punished, the prince would be in front of him.
The more Jiang Si listened, the more ugly his face became.
Sure enough, it was right that she was determined to solve the beast of Changxing Hou Shizi as soon as possible, otherwise she still didn't know how many girls he would harm.
"That's right. Come on, let's work." The previously worried little servant walked towards Jiang Si's direction.
Jiang Si turned the gold bracelet gently, thinking quickly what medicine would be the most suitable for these two.
At this moment, the boy named Luzi shouted: "Change the place, there is a person buried there not long ago. By the way, that little lady's house seems to be selling tofu."
Another servant sighed: "Actually, that little lady is a little pitiful. I have seen her selling tofu with her mother..."
Lu Zi sneered: "If the prince didn't see it, why would the little lady be here. I said Anzi, what happened to you today, mother-in-law."
"Oh, today Ziying is getting better with me."
"Yo, I have tasted the taste of the girls, and I know that you are pity and cherish jade. But if you continue to linger, it will be bright."
"Work, work." The two let the corpse wrapped in sheets lie on the ground alone and walked towards the corner.
"Hey, why is there a missing flower shovel?"
