After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Because of this sound, many people gathered around.

Su Rumeng glanced over there and said, "I don't know what happened. Let's go take a look."

After coming out of the water pavilion, Liu Yunxiang and the others realized that because of the movement, men had also come over and looked into the middle of the pool.

The dog by the pool was still barking. His owner was a burly young man, tugging hard on the dog leash. Liu Yunxiang asked Su Rumeng who this young man was, and Su Rumeng said he was the second son of the Hou family.

Marquis Dingyuan was seriously injured when he put down the riots in Nanzhou last year, but he left within a month. The uncle of the Marquis Mansion was a dandy who ate and drank, and had no ability to seize the title. Fortunately, the Marquis gave birth to three sons, and it is said that they all He is a dragon and a phoenix among men, so there is still hope for Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

"Xiao Tian! Stop screaming!"

The black dog was as strong as a bear and kept rushing into the pond. The second young master was already dragging it with great difficulty.

Fortunately, a boy ran over at this time and quickly helped hold the dog's leash.

"Han Er, why are you barking like a dog? Don't disturb the female guests." The fourth prince, Qin Shengrui, waved his folding fan and walked over in a white robe, thinking he was elegant.

Others also followed. When Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu, he frowned with impatience on his face. And Xue Changfeng was walking beside him, chattering something.

Yan Mu went to the left, and he followed him to the left. Yan Mu went to the right, and he also went to the right.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but laugh. Xue Changfeng was as arrogant as a peacock. He looked down on everyone, especially Yan Mu, but he loved to get close to Yan Mu.

"Your Majesty Seventh, I admit that you are good-looking, capable, and hold a high position, okay? But don't take yourself too seriously and think that all the women in the world will fall in love with you. Let me tell you, I My cousin is different from other women, she values ​​this person’s character more, but your character, Your Highness, is really something people dare not compliment.”

Yan Mu gritted his teeth: "You said that you were drunk first that night and the reception was not good. I said the poor treatment is not important, but it is very serious to almost lose your innocence. I didn't want to say more, but you insist After getting to the bottom of it, I thought we could be considered friends, so I would like to remind you that your cousin has the ambition to climb high. Well, I shouldn't have said this, because you idiot will suffer a big loss before you can learn to be smart."

"My cousin has a noble heart. Although she is smart, she abides by justice. Don't slander her!"

Yan Mu rolled his eyes, "Okay, I slandered her then."

"Why are you rolling your eyes? You don't believe me? No, I have to make it clear to you."

Yan Mu was helpless when someone shouted again: "It seems... it seems like a bloody piece of meat!"

As soon as these words came out, the female guests who were standing forward took a few steps back in panic.

Others backed away, and Liu Yunxiang walked to the edge of the pond and looked intently into the middle. There is a wooden pillar standing in the middle of the lotus pond. A lantern is hung on it. If you look down, you can see a rope attached to the wooden pillar and something hanging below. If you look carefully, it does look like meat, and there seems to be a blood stain on the lotus leaf next to it.

The second son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion stared carefully for a while, but because it was blocked by lotus leaves, he couldn't see clearly, so he asked a boy to swim over and take a look.

The boy was ordered to get into the water and watched as he swam past the middle of the pond. When he was a step away, he saw clearly what it was, his face suddenly changed, and he turned around and swam back in panic.

"Second Young Master...yes...yes..."

Han Ling, the second son of the Marquis of Dingyuan, frowned and shouted at the boy: "Why are you panicking? Speak clearly!"

"It's... it's an arm!"

As soon as these words came out, many people present exclaimed.

"arm?"

"A human arm!"

Han Ling's face darkened, "Did you see it wrong?"

"This slave can see clearly!"

He paused, "Go and bring that thing up!"

"Slave..."

"It's clear and sunny, there are so many people, what are you afraid of! Go quickly!"

At the urging of his master, the boy turned pale with fright, but he still turned around and swam over slowly. Everyone present watched him, seeing him pull the rope, and then glanced at the thing hanging on the other end of the rope. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and simply grabbed the end of the rope and swam upstream.

When they swam to the edge of the pool, the boy climbed up, then lifted the rope up, and it turned out to be a broken arm! Apparently he had been hanging in this pond for some time, his skin and flesh were rotten, and the rotten smell overflowed.

When the female guests saw this, they were so frightened that they ran out of the garden. When Bai Jingyu saw this, she was afraid that she would not be afraid, but would be so smoked that she vomited repeatedly.

Su Rumeng called Liu Yunxiang, "Be a good boy, let's go to the front yard."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Sister Su, please take the fourth sister-in-law to the front, and I'll take a closer look."

Su Rumeng knew that Liu Yunxiang always had an idea, so she stopped trying to persuade her and helped Bai Jingyu to go forward.

Some of the male guests were afraid, but it was hard to show off their pride, so they were all there and still surrounding me. Liu Yunxiang walked up behind Yan Mu and pulled his sleeve. He held her hand with his backhand, and the two stood outside.

After Han Ling was surprised, he quickly asked the servant to report to the official.

Not long after, officials from Jingzhao Mansion arrived. When they saw this arm, several grown men couldn't help wiping away cold sweat.

"Second Young Master, a few nights ago, a maid in your house died in Zhuangzi. Did you know that?"

Han Ling frowned and nodded, "I know, but what does it have to do with this broken arm?"

The leading official's face turned dark and he said: "The maid's limbs were cut off before she died, but now she is missing an arm. We have searched the entire village and can't find it. I think it is... this is it."

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but take a step back, "Why did the murderer throw this arm into the lotus pond?"

Xue Changfeng's eyes widened and he shouted: "I know!"

Everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Xue Changfeng narrowed his eyes, "Obviously this murderer is coming for your Marquis Mansion. Killing this maid is just to intimidate you!"

When Han Ling heard this, his face turned darker and his expression became more panicked, "Brother Xue seems to make sense."

Others also agreed, feeling that what Xue Changfeng said did make sense.

"The murderer used such a cruel method to kill people. It seems that he has a lot of resentment towards your palace. Who have you offended?"

Han Ling racked his brains and thought for a long time: "No."

"Has there been any unusual activity in the house recently?"

"Neither."

The two people asked and answered questions and began to analyze the case.

"Maybe there is another possibility that this arm was not put here by the murderer." Yan Mu interrupted them.

The rest of the people looked at Yan Mu. Although they wanted to give him face, this possibility was really unlikely.

Xue Changfeng sneered: "Your Highness, Seventh Prince, don't you think what you said is a bit funny? If the murderer hadn't put this broken arm here, who else could it be and what was his purpose?"

What is the purpose?

Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang, who was also puzzled.

On the night of Hongzhu's murder, there was only one murder case in the capital, but was a little maid worth Qin Fei's trouble to let Hongzhu kill? So at that time, they did not connect the two things together, but now it seems that it has this value when it involves the Ding'an Marquis Mansion.

Qin Feishi's target may be Dingyuan Hou Mansion.

The maid died of torture, and the murderer should be a man. Hongzhu is not that perverted, so is this possible?

"There are two murderers!" Liu Yunxiang said.
