The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Just when Situ Meng and Situ Qing were making plans, the Princess Mansion was already in chaos.

All the maids and servants were gathered in the open space in the front yard by the butler, each of them trembling with fright, and the guards were still searching vigorously in the mansion, wishing they could dig three feet into the ground, in order to get that Her Royal Highness, who has been missing for two days, should be found as soon as possible.

"Say, when was the last time you saw the princess? Where did the princess go? Why don't you serve her personally?"

The butler looked at the princess's personal maid with burning eyes. If it weren't for the fact that these two women are still loved by the princess, he would have the heart to tear her alive.

You know, this big housekeeper is not from the House of Internal Affairs, but was specially recruited by Concubine Zhen Taigui from the Zhen family. He is not only in charge of the daily affairs of the princess mansion, but more importantly, he is also responsible for the relationship between the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion and the Zhen family. contact.

Although it is said that Her Royal Highness is mainly in charge of all kinds of information and negotiation of transactions, but he is responsible for all the back and forth news transmission.

Now that the princess has disappeared from the mansion all of a sudden, how will he explain to Concubine Zhen and the Zhen family!In case the princess really has something wrong, no matter it is Zhen Tai Guifei, or the people of the Zhen family and Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, they will not let him go.

Although he also thought about whether the princess was still talking about something with the grandson of the king of Nan'an and delayed the time, so he was not so anxious yesterday.But for two consecutive days, the princess has not appeared, which is obviously beyond the normal situation.

Originally, he wanted to go to the courtyard specially reserved for Nan'an County King and his party to investigate, but he was caught up in other things, and then Princess Zhen suddenly sent someone to summon Her Highness the Princess for the first time. Entering the palace two days later made him panic.

However, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he couldn't sneak into that yard by himself to investigate!You know, when the guards were patrolling before, they heard noises inside and thought that a thief had broken in, so they wanted to climb over the courtyard wall and go in to investigate, but they were bumped into by the princess, and they were ordered to assassinate them on the spot. Crime kill!

And in front of all the guards and servants in the mansion, he sternly warned that the dilapidated courtyard is a forbidden area in the mansion, no one is allowed to approach.In private, it was rumored that it was the place where the son-in-law hanged himself, so...

At this moment, the head steward was very anxious, and wanted to go to the courtyard to inquire, but because he couldn't avoid the eyes and ears of everyone, he could only dispatch all the guards to search vigorously in the mansion.

When the night fell, he finally dismissed the others and sneaked into the courtyard, but the scene that caught his eyes scared him half to death, and he blurted out a scream, causing everyone in the mansion to run away come over.

The guards couldn't care about anything else at the moment, and kicked open the gate of the small courtyard, but what caught their eyes was a dark and scarlet color, the blood on the ground had long since dried up, and several bodies lying on the ground in the courtyard had long been dead. The frozen corpse of a stranger.

Just when everyone was shocked and saw everything in front of them, the big butler frantically ran towards the bedroom of Erjin, but unfortunately, he searched everything inside and out, not only the grandson of the king of Nan'an disappeared. , the princess also disappeared.

A kind of great fear shrouded the heart of the housekeeper. He could only pray non-stop now. After all, if they didn't see the corpses, it doesn't mean they were killed, right?

When the news reached the palace, Concubine Zhen Taigui fainted on the spot, and when she woke up, she cried and asked the Supreme Emperor to make decisions for her, and must find the princess.

Compared with the chaos in the Princess Mansion, the Liguo Mansion was unusually calm and low-key, as if nothing had happened.

The servants still carry out their daily work as usual, and the guards also patrol the mansion according to the established route, but under this calm appearance, the supreme ruler of the mansion, Mr. It was already extremely flustered, and the six gods had no master.

You know, Li Guogong's side had already discovered that there were rivers of blood in those two courtyards early the next morning.After all, Li Guogong's youngest son lived in the same yard as Yin Zhanteng, the representative of the Xining County Prince's Mansion. When he came out of the house early in the morning, he was so scared that he peed his pants when he saw the scene.

Because he was too frightened, he couldn't even utter a sound at that time, and he was so weak that he fell to the ground, so he didn't attract other people in the mansion because of his screams.

Until he regained a little physical strength, he even scrambled to report to his father Li Guogong, and this matter was directly suppressed by Li Guogong. The sudden murder case in the government caused panic.

But even so, because of the matter of the Princess Mansion, there are many discussions in the capital. Whether it is a wine shop, a teahouse, or a street corner, almost all people cannot do without the tragedy of the Princess Mansion. The son-in-law asked for his life in the middle of the night, and scared the princess to death with such a beautiful content.

In the chaos, the spies who belonged to the Nan'an Prince's Mansion were the most panicked. After all, they knew very well that the barren courtyard of the princess mansion's back house was the most secret place in the capital of their Nan'an County Prince's Mansion. stronghold.

Now, not only did a homicide happen there, but this time Wang Tiansheng, the eldest grandson of the King of Nan'an, who came from the fief, could not get in touch with any of the guards around him. very panicked.

After all, if this incident was the work of the emperor, then the spies of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion hidden in the capital would have been exposed long ago.Thinking of this, almost all the spies couldn't sit still, and all of them started to move quietly, and some even started to use the network in their hands to prepare for hiding.

"Mengmeng, have you seen the bookstore opposite?" At this moment, Lin Tianzheng was sitting by the window of the box on the second floor of Quanjude, pointing to the opposite side.

"Well, I saw it, what's the matter?" Situ Meng asked puzzled: "Isn't this just an ordinary bookstore! Is there any problem?"

"There's nothing wrong with selling books in bookstores, but do you think that Li Guogong, Qi Guogong, the big stewards of the princess mansion, the steward of the Zhen family, and the owners of several other Hou mansions all ran to the house in low-key disguises at the same time? Is it normal to come here to buy books?" Lin Tian said with a mysterious face.

"Look, look, after they all go in, the bookstore will put up a closed sign!" Lin Tian pointed to the closed sign with a bit of excitement, and then the owner of the store, which was closing, was a little excited said:

"Before, didn't the emperor tell us to make a move and cut off the wings of the king with a different surname in the capital? I was afraid that I would startle the snake, but I already knew the whereabouts of those spies, but whether we can do it is really anxious!

But, no, the opportunity has come!Although it's not easy to touch those little mice first, it's not bad to catch a few fat chickens first! "

As Lin Tian spoke, he licked his lips, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed at all. She and Situ Meng leaned their heads together at this moment, and whispered: "If I guess correctly, these guys, I am afraid that the former private salt Everyone involved in the case!

Didn't the prefect of Xuzhou say it before, there are absolutely no fewer high-ranking and powerful people involved in the matter of private salt, but the only ones he can be sure of are Li Guogong and Qi Guogong.

This time, they all gathered together in a sneaky way, saving us the trouble of checking them one by one, hehe, just in time, this time we'll take them all down by the way, and settle new and old scores together! "

"Ahem..." Situ Meng looked at Lin Tianna with bloodthirsty excitement, and his heart was also a little excited. After all, the private salt case was the first major case he solved, but it was because of various For various reasons, it was not possible to thoroughly investigate to the end, and find out the last behind-the-scenes masterminds, so that the people all over the world can have a bite of cheap salt.

Now, the opportunity is in front of him, how could he not be excited!However, compared to Lin Tian, ​​he has to be a little more cautious. After all, arresting people, asking for confessions, and even finding evidence are not difficult for them and the three hundred gods of death.

It was difficult before because there was no way to determine the specific target. As long as there is an accurate suspect, then even if they dig three feet into the ground in their mansion, they will definitely be able to find evidence. I'm not afraid that these pampered elders can survive two rounds, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on to the first round!

The most important problem now is that all these people together have too much influence in the court. Even if they all have the crime of ransacking their families and exterminating their clans, they cannot all be arrested at the same time.

Otherwise, let's not talk about whether the court of the Dayong Dynasty will be completely chaotic, but if those kings with different surnames take advantage of this opportunity to raise their flags to rebel, it will really make things worse. At that time, he will become a sinner through the ages !

Although Situ Meng was eager to solve the case, he didn't want to create such a big hidden danger, so even though he was excited and excited, he still hesitated.

As if seeing his inner thoughts, Lin Tian smiled and said: "Mengmeng, don't worry! You think I'm really stupid! Now, let's sneak in and listen to what they have to say What, how do we plan to move in the future! After collecting all their criminal evidence, let's take our time one by one!

We are still young, and we don't care about delaying this year or two. After all, we have plenty of time to spend time with them.Besides, although you can't clean it all at once, you can also choose the biggest moth to do it!

This time, accidents happened one after another in the Princess' Mansion and Duke Li's Mansion. It is impossible for the rest of the people to know nothing about it, especially Yin Zhanteng of the Prince's Mansion of Xining County, who used to sing and sing every night in the Duke's Mansion of Liguo. It was endless, but suddenly fell silent, and Li Guogong didn't allow any servants to approach, how could such a weird thing be hidden from others!

Moreover, such a vicious murder case occurred in the mansion, but Li Guogong refused to report it. What do you think other people think?It's no wonder that cats are tricky!At that time, we will not have to be charged with selling illegal salt, and we will still be able to punish this Li Guogong to Ming Zhengdian! "

"Yeah, Xiaotian, you are right, I listen to you! Let's go there quickly! It's too late, maybe we missed some important clues!" Situ Meng said excitedly.

"Well, let's go!"

After the two finished speaking, they quickly left the restaurant and got into the alley next to the bookstore. After shaking their figures a few times, the two of them jumped over the wall and entered the small courtyard behind the bookstore with ease. .

The whole process was as quick as a gust of wind, even if someone saw it, they would think it was just their eyes dazzled.
