Splendid concubine

Chapter 119 New plan
Seeing Mu Zitan and Liu Jiaren's expressions of wanting to throw up, Liu Ruyi succeeded in playing a prank, and proudly raised the corners of her mouth.

However, the two little girls also knew that what she said was true.

Mrs. Zhao ran over out of breath, and all she saw were people surrounded by fish ponds.

"My lord, princess, if, if you want to salvage the hairpin, why don't you find a servant with good water skills in the mansion, so you don't have to bother the royal maids and guards." Mrs. Zhao's complexion was very bad, and she stuttered when explaining, which made people feel uncomfortable. Very suspicious.

Mu Zitan said coldly: "I don't think so. I like this fish pond very much. I am going to go boating to pick lotus. In order to avoid being pushed into the water, I still don't contact your Zhao family. Just a few sisters."

Liu Jiaren behind her was so happy that she couldn't stand still when she heard Mu Zitan say "our sisters".

Mrs. Zhao's face became paler, and she continued to persuade her weakly, "Princess, the fish pond, the water in the fish pond is not clean, let's forget it. If the princess wants to go boating to pick lotus, why don't you let Xiaosan and her siblings accompany the princess to Aixi River?" lake?"

Aixi Lake is the largest lake in the west of the capital, and the scenery is really good.

"No, I'm going to play here." Mu Zitan had the image of a savage little princess.

At this time, the head of the Zhao family and the old lady of the Zhao family also came over out of breath.

The old lady glared fiercely at Mrs. Zhao, smiled what she thought was the most kind, and said to Mu Zitan: "I have seen the little princess before, and the little princess has a natural temperament and beauty, what are you going to do?"

The sudden turn of this sentence, coupled with the old lady's eyes looking up and down at Mu Zitan, made Mu Zitan very disliked.

She is beautiful, but the old lady's eyes are obviously not because of her good looks.

Now, could it be that the whole Zhao family is wishful thinking, wanting to make Mr. Zhao the third son-in-law?

It was really disgusting, Mu Zitan didn't want to pay attention to the old lady, turned his head and looked at the fish pond.

Just at this time, the guards outside took the princess' token and rushed in forcefully.

"Let's get started." Seeing that the person was in place, Mu Zitan ordered with a cold expression.

This team was specially selected by Liu Ruyi at the request of the emperor, and the best players in the water immediately dived into the water.

The Zhao family was sweating from anxiety. The head of the Zhao family kept talking about something, and the little girls didn't care.

She wanted to break in, but was stopped by Mu Zitan's protectors. For a moment, the Zhao family was in a stalemate.

"Jiaren, Jiaren, I didn't love you for nothing when you were young, so can't you say nice things?" The head of the Zhao family glared at Liu Jiaren.

Liu Jiaren has long decided to divide the relationship with the Zhao family. Hearing this, she giggled, "Oh, what you said is that every time you go to Liu's mansion, you will scold me, and from time to time, you will add fuel to the lady so that she will not punish me by kneeling down." , just hit me with the hand? If I hadn’t been protected by my aunt, it would have been more serious, wouldn’t it?”

As he spoke, he ignored him and turned his head to look at the fish pond instead.

The area of ​​the fish pond was not small, and Liu Ruyi had just told them to take a good look at the lotus, which Mu Zitan "wanted to use as a bowl", Mu Zitan gave Liu Ruyi a resentful look, and acquiesced.

Why couldn't the guards hear Liu Ruyi's voice-over, so a few guards went to the lotus side first.

While speaking, a huge thing was lifted out of the water by four guards.

Mu Zitan glanced over and didn't want to look any further.

It was a corpse whose flesh had been gnawed away, and several large stones were tied to it.

Otherwise, the guards don't have to work so hard. In order to restore it completely, the guards also moved out the stone.

When the Zhao family saw the corpse come out, their faces changed.

The head of the Zhao family seemed to know that they couldn't escape, and the princess obviously knew something, and immediately cursed.

The scolding sound was very dirty, Liu Ruyi glanced over, and a guard went over, and he raised the knife neatly, using his palm as a knife, and knocked the head of the Zhao family into a coma.

Liu Jiaren vomited beside her for a while before looking at the corpse.

"Second Sister, this looks like it has been around for many years." Liu Jiaren carefully identified, but couldn't see anything, and she didn't understand these things at first.

"Call the most experienced He Wuzuo here." Liu Ruyi gave orders, and someone immediately invited He Wuzuo in.

He Wuzuo was a little excited to be interviewed by the emperor in person. He Wuzuo was disappointed when he heard that he was going to help the princess and the princess with some small matters. Children play.

"Master He, come and take a look, we sisters don't understand these things, it looks scary." Liu Ruyi hurriedly greeted He Wuzuo.

At that time, Wu Zuo was an eighth-rank petty official, although he was considered an "adult", but compared to the ranks of princesses and princesses, he was inconspicuous.

He Wuzuo's heart warmed, and he hurried over to check.

After looking around, He Wuzuo looked down upon it before putting it away. It was obvious that there was something serious about it, and it was discovered by the princess and princess.

"Look at this corpse, it looks like a young girl who died for about three months, about sixteen or seventeen years old." He Wuzuo flipped through it, pondered for a while before answering.

"What else?" Liu Ruyi asked hastily.

The key point is the cause of death. Knowing the cause of death is the only way to convict and investigate the case and analyze who the murderer is.

If there is no cause of death, if the Zhao family bites to death, it is said that the servant girl died, and they are too lazy to send it outside for burial. It is just convenient for sinking the pond. Although it is against the rules, it is not a big deal after all.

"Looking at the bones, it was obvious that he had been severely beaten during his lifetime, resulting in multiple broken leg bones and head injuries."

He Wuzuo didn't care whether the little girls could understand or not, he gestured at the cracks on the bones of the corpse, "Look at this, it's obviously like a spider's web, it's just been hit on the head by a heavy object."

"Here, it is obvious that the hands and feet are bound." He Wuzuo pointed to one by one, following the places he pointed, listening to it, it was obvious that these scars were all caused by abuse.

"It's so cruel." Liu Jiaren shook her head and sighed.

There seemed to be Mrs. Zhao trying to turn the tide and try to defend herself, saying that the girl died after falling from a height, and she was too lazy to bury her in a graveyard, so she sank into the pond.

Liu Ruyi and the others pretended not to hear.

Soon, Mrs. Zhao couldn't speak anymore, because the guards brought out more than a dozen corpses in a short period of time, all of which had no flesh, only clothes and tied stones.

"How do you explain it?" Liu Ruyi asked Mrs. Zhao with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Zhao's face was ashen, and she sat on the ground, looking like she had lost her soul.

Although the old lady was not kidnapped, when the first bone came out of the water, she tilted her head and passed out, obviously not wanting to face it directly.

"It seems that the Zhao family does this kind of thing a lot." Mu Zitan muttered as he followed He Wuzuo to check the bones.

"Yes, there are not many people there." Liu Ruyi sighed softly.

Things are far more serious than she imagined.

Ordinarily, which dignitaries, there are not hundreds of servant girls in the mansion, one or two are killed and hidden, maybe only the mansion will find out.

But the Zhao family felt that there was something wrong in their previous life. In this life, Ganoderma lucidum was kept in the light and Yan Yan was kept in the dark. After checking for a long time and comparing the accounts, it was discovered that over the years, even aunts and maids had lost more than 50 people. Not a small amount.

"This Zhao family really has a heart of snakes and scorpions." Almost 30 bones were salvaged, Mu Zitan clenched his fists and said angrily.

Liu Ruyi smiled wryly. This should not be all. This fish pond probably only became a fish pond in the past few years. What about the previous ones? Where did they hide?

As soon as I thought of this, I saw Yanyan's tall and foreign appearance, dressed in black, twisting a servant coming from behind.

When he arrived at the place, he kicked the man on the back of his knee, and the man knelt down, begging for mercy and complaining, "Princess, princess, I don't know where this strong man is from, but the villain just went to such a place." I was caught and beaten when I was in the bathroom, and now I’m still trying to come here, begging the princess to make the decision.”

This person looks quite young, with the appearance of an old orange peel, which makes people doubt his age.

Mu Zitan had never seen Yanyan before, so he looked at Liu Ruyi curiously, "Ruyi, what's going on?"

Liu Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no negligence, and thanks to the large number of people, it was useful for Yanyan to take a team of borrowed secret guards to monitor the people in the mansion.

"Don't quibble, everyone knows whether you are going to the toilet, if you confess, it will make your life easier." Liu Ruyi said.

The other bones may be found somewhere.

Threats and lures, the servant will confess quickly.

He used to be a bookboy next to the old lady, but when the old lady went away, he would do some chores in the mansion, and his life was not as good as the old lady's. Suddenly one day, the old lady came to him and asked him to help with errands, but he was not accepted for a long time. Attention, he immediately agreed.

When I first helped to bury people, I was still very uncomfortable. I always felt that I was helping the evildoers. Later, the old lady gave more rewards, and it became more and more convenient. Every time I helped the old lady, I got hundreds of thousands of dollars. Two silver bills, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Now when he heard that dead people were dug out of the fishpond, he hurried to see those people he had buried.

"Investigate the identities of these people and find out what they have in common." Liu Ruyi ordered again.

Yanyan took out a crumpled piece of paper from her arms and handed it to Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi took it over and took a look, good guy, he has already checked it out.

Looking at the words on the paper that penetrated the back of the paper, and thinking about how Yanyan wrote them down, she couldn't help feeling hot in her heart. Liu Ruyi quickly kept her mind and looked down.

"Li Cuihua, seventeen years old, entered the mansion for three months and was accepted as a housekeeper. Three months later, she was found pregnant and disappeared that night."

"Zhao Li'er, 23 years old, has been in the mansion for seven years. She is an aunt. She has given birth to a daughter and a son. She had a dystocia. Both mother and son died. She disappeared that night."

"Mo Cao Ya'er, twelve years old, fell in love with the young master, and disappeared that night."

"Li Ergou, 35 years old, was found wandering near the study and disappeared that night."

There are many such things in the future, and Mu Zitan can't stand it anymore.

Angrily said: "They are disregarding human life, Mr. Zhao is still the pillar of the country, why are the children and wives so ridiculous?"
