"Mr. Gongsun, whose jade pendant is it?"

"Let's go to the adults first."

Gongsun Ce walked directly to Bao Zheng's study without waiting for Tang Wuxia to finish speaking.It's just that his frowning all the time showed the seriousness of this incident.

"My lord, take a look at this jade pendant."

Gongsun Ce walked to Bao Zheng's desk, and handed over the jade pendant.At this time, Bao Zheng was dealing with official duties. Hearing Gongsun Ce's words, he raised his head and looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

"this is not……"

Bao Zheng took the jade pendant from Gongsun Ce, and checked it in his hand, it was indeed that jade pendant.How did that man's jade pendant end up in the hands of Mr. Gongsun?And judging by Gongsun Ce's current expression, the appearance of this jade pendant is by no means a good thing.

"Mr. Gongsun, how did you get this jade pendant?"

"The son-in-law picked it up, and it was left behind by the corpse thief."

"My lord, Mr. Gongsun, who exactly does this jade pendant belong to?"

"Eight sage kings."

"how can that be."

Whether it's the widely circulated stories in the future or the current evaluation of the world, the Eight Sage Kings are not the kind of people who would do such things.No, it is not impossible, if it is for the royal family, he may do these things.But, it doesn't make sense, everything doesn't make sense.The emperor had clearly agreed to Fang Xun's request, as long as Fang Xun confessed, then the treasure must belong to the emperor.If the Eight Sage Kings were for the royal family, there was no need to rob Fang Xun at that time.

"The owner of this jade pendant is called Wu Qing, and he is a confidant of the Eight Sage Kings."

Wu Qing was originally a knight in the rivers and lakes. He once saved the life of the eight sage kings. The eight sage kings were very grateful to him. He planned to give him some gifts, but he declined.In the end, he became the guard of the Eight Sage Kings and one of the most trusted people of the Eight Sage Kings.During his many years as a bodyguard, he has saved the lives of the Eight Sage Kings many times.And that piece of medicinal jade was a gift from Eight Sage Kings on his birthday.Since that piece of jade was given to Wu Qing, it has never left her body.

"My lord, Bao Zheng from Kaifeng Mansion is asking to see you."

"Bao Zheng, isn't he busy with the case right now? How come he has time to come to me. Could it be that he encountered some problem and came to ask me for help. Take him to the hall, and I will go after cleaning up."

Regarding Bao Zheng's arrival, the Eight Sage Kings did not dare to neglect at all.Bao Zheng seldom visited his house specially, and every time he came, he was asking for something, and every time he asked for something in front of him, it was very urgent.Especially now, Bao Zheng has only one case in his hands, and everything related to that case is a big deal.

"Bao Zheng met the Eighth Prince."

"The students have seen the Eighth Prince."

"I've seen Uncle Eight."

Seeing the Eight Sage Kings walking in, Tang Wuxia and the others hurriedly put down the tea they had just taken a sip of in their hands, and stood up to salute. This man came quickly enough.If the Eight Sage Kings knew the purpose of their trip, I'm afraid they wouldn't have come in so leisurely.

"Sit down, I don't know why Bao Zheng came to see me?"

"My lord, why didn't you see Eunuch Zhang?"

"You're talking about Zhang Yang, he asked for leave to go back to his hometown with the king before, and he hasn't come back yet. After all, he has been away for more than half a month."

"Did the prince send someone to visit Eunuch Zhang's hometown?"

"That's not true, but Zhang Yang's hometown has a letter, saying that his hometown has something to stay for a while."

"I wonder if that letter is still there?"

"Bao Zheng, why are you asking this, but what happened to Zhang Yang?"

I thought Bao Zheng was here to ask him for help, but he has been asking about Zhang Yang since the meeting.Could it be that Zhang Yang has something to do with this case? It's impossible. Zhang Yang has been by his side all along, and he hasn't noticed anything wrong.

"Reporting to my lord, Bao Zheng is still not sure about Eunuch Zhang."

"Bao Zheng, you came here today to ask me about Zhang Yang? Zhang Yang has always been by my side, and I can tell you with certainty that he has nothing to do with that case."

"My lord, Bao Zheng dare not jump to conclusions before the matter is clarified."

"Bao Zheng, are you suspicious of me, too?"

"Bao Zheng dare not."

"Bao Zheng, do you have anything else to do?"

"Does the prince know this jade pendant?"

"Isn't this Wu Qing's jade pendant? Why is it with you?"

The jade was given by the Eight Sage King himself, so he is naturally more familiar with this jade than anyone else.This piece is indeed the medicine jade that he gave to Wu Qing.

"My lord, a few days ago, there was a corpse robbery case in Kaifeng Mansion, and this jade pendant was left by one of the prisoners."

"several days ago?"

The Baxian King remembered that Wu Qing did ask for two days off a few days ago.And this jade pendant was also lost at that time, could it be that he really..., impossible, Wu Qing knew by himself that he would not do such a thing.The murderer must have deliberately framed him in order to divert attention.

"Wu Qing's jade pendant has been lost before, and now it seems that it was stolen by this group of people. They must have left this jade pendant to frame Wu Qing."

"At that time, those people had already seen our plan, so they shouldn't have carelessly left behind the jade pendant that can be identified. Therefore, Bao Zheng was also suspicious, so he came here today to find out what happened to Wu Qing."

"Go and invite Guard Wu."

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Qing came very quickly. When he saw Tang Wuxia and the other three, hesitation flashed in his eyes.Finally walked in.

"This subordinate has met the prince, but what order does the prince have for calling the subordinate?"

"Guard Wu, didn't you tell me a few days ago that you lost your jade pendant? Look at this one."

"Reporting to the prince, it is this one."

Wu Qing carefully looked at the jade pendant several times, then bowed to the Eight Sage Kings again, and gave a positive answer, this jade pendant was his piece.

"Ask Guard Wu, how did you lose your jade pendant?"

"This..." Wu Qing glanced at the Baxian King hesitantly, as if he was considering whether to say it, and then he continued: "A few days ago it happened to be the anniversary of my old friend's death, so I asked the prince for two days off. , to pay homage to him. When I returned to the palace, I found that the jade pendant had disappeared."

"I don't know where that friend of Guard Wu is buried?"

"Mass Burial Mounds outside the city."

As the name suggests, a mass grave is a graveyard where corpses are buried indiscriminately, where corpses are scattered or buried or randomly discarded on the ground.There were as many dead dogs and vultures as there were corpses.If it was really a friend, how could he be buried there.

Originally, Bao Zheng was going to start from the location, but he didn't expect this person to admit that he had been to the mass grave, which disrupted Bao Zheng's steps.Gongsun Ce, who was sitting on his left, exchanged glances with Tang Wuxia, who was sitting opposite, and Tang Wuxia gave him a clear look.

"Guard Wu."

"What are the orders of the son-in-law?"

"Trouble guard Wu, tell me something."

During the whole process of stealing the corpse, Tang Wuxia heard a sentence, the leader said: "We have the things, let's go."If Wu Qing participated in stealing corpses, with his ability, it is very likely that he is the leader.When Wu Qing was speaking, Tang Wuxia felt that the voice was very similar to that of the leader, but he only heard that voice at that time, so he was not sure.

"The things are here, let's go."

Tang Wuxia's voice fell, but Wu Qing didn't hear this sentence repeated for a long time.When Tang Wuxia said this, Wu Qing knew he had been exposed.He was thinking about how to get out, because he was responsible for the safety of the palace all the year round, so no one was more familiar with the layout of the palace than him.

As long as he leaves this door, he is sure that he can escape from the mansion, but he is not sure that he can escape from the mansion.Because Wu Qing found out that Zhan Zhao, who had always been by Bao Zheng's side, was not here now, and since Bao Zheng had come for him from the beginning, it was very likely that he had deployed people outside.As a Southern Xia, Zhan Zhao's martial arts are naturally excellent, he is not sure that he can escape from Zhan Zhao's grasp.

"Wu Qing, why did you do such a thing!"

The long silence made Baxian Wang realize that everything Bao Zheng said was probably true.He hesitated to say that sentence, just because that sentence thoroughly explained that he was indeed involved in it.It's just that he didn't understand why Wu Qing would do such a thing.

Wu Qing saved himself from danger again and again. He has always been loyal to himself, so how could he do such a thing that would damage the reputation of the Eight Princes' Mansion.If it was really him, then who would be the master behind him.Wu Qing was threatened or did it willingly.

"Eight Emperor Uncle."

Hearing the female voice from outside, Wu Qing's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that his savior had arrived, and Tang Wuxia and others were not in such a good mood like Wu Qing.That female voice was so familiar that it was the voice of a woman that Tang Wuxia heard most often when she came to this world.

At this time, the person outside the door was none other than Her Royal Highness Princess of Tang Wuxia's family.Tang Wuxia was startled when he heard the voice. He didn't know why the princess appeared here, but this is not important anymore. The most important thing is that Wu Qing must not let Wu Qing catch the princess.

"Princess, don't open the door."

At the same time Tang Wuxia's voice sounded, the door had already been pushed open by the maid beside the princess.Wu Qing ran directly in that direction, bumping into a maid who opened the door.Tang Wuxia was farther away from the door than Wu Qing, and when he crept up to the princess, Wu Qing had already caught the princess.

"Do not move."

Wu Qing hid behind the princess with his right hand pinching the princess' neck like a claw.Seeing this situation, Tang Wuxia could only stop there obediently.

"Wu Qing, let go of the princess, I will let you go."
