Chapter 636 The Princess’s Body Is Missing (June 1st)

Princess Yuehai and Eunuch Su also came over and stopped their horses.

Princess Yuehai asked angrily: "Why so slow!"

This question was asked by the cavalryman driving the car.

The cavalryman looked aggrieved and said, "They said that young master was unwell and the car should not be driven too fast."

"What young master? That's clearly the real murderer!" Princess Yuehai corrected her loudly.

The cavalryman quickly changed his words and said in a complaining tone: "Back to the princess, the murderer is too weak and cannot be bumped or knocked down. This subordinate can only be so slow."

"You don't care whether he is dead or alive, who do you belong to?"

The cavalry wanted to say that he didn't want to be so obedient, but when he thought of his companion's face covered with blood and caught a glimpse of the eagle leisurely licking his feathers on the roof of the car, he... did he have a choice?

Eunuch Su felt very tired.

At this point, Eunuch Su has given up on everything. Since he hasn't escaped, let's move on.

However, in order to prevent the suspect from having a chance to escape, the entire team had to slow down their horses along with them.

So, on a country road near the outskirts of Beijing, a scene emerged of a tattered blue-topped carriage being surrounded by dozens of elite armored cavalry.

Not to mention how frustrated Princess Yuehai was, even the secret guards following behind were also sleepy.

One of them asked: "Aren't you going to fight?"

Another replied: "What are you going to hit? They serve Mr. Liu better than we serve him. Who are you going to hit?"

The person who asked the question fell silent, let out a long sigh, and continued to follow quietly.

On the other end, he finally found one of his captain's secret guards, and he burst into tears and told how Lord Liu resigned and left voluntarily with those heavy soldiers in Kyoto.

Finally, the secret guard emphasized: "We really don't dare to disobey Master Liu's order."

This shows that it’s not that we don’t do things, it’s that Mr. Liu has given orders time and time again, and we can’t do anything.

Rong Leng listened calmly, remained silent for a while, and then said to the Nantian County magistrate who was sweating profusely behind him: "The case will be taken over by Kyoto, you can leave."

Magistrate Nantian was thinking of Amitabha in his heart, and humbly agreed: "Yes, yes, I will leave now, I will leave now."

When I got up early in the morning, a prince of the current dynasty, a powerful captain, was greeted in the lobby of the yamen. Moreover, this prince was very leisurely and read all the population files of Nantian County in the past five years. This was very important to Nantian. It was not a good thing for the county magistrate. I had been on tenterhooks all morning. Finally, I heard these words that were like a breath of fresh air.

You can go, you don’t have to see the Third Prince anymore. Thank God the female body that the Third Prince mentioned was not from their Nantian County, Amitabha, Amitabha.

After the Nantian County Magistrate left, Rong Leng asked the secret guard: "Master Liu is not injured?"

The secret guard immediately swore and replied: "Absolutely not, not a single hair was injured. At first, when Princess Yuehai pointed the spear at Mr. Liu, I wanted to take action, but the young master took the lead, and later Princess When someone took action, Master Liu restrained us."

Throwing all the blame back to Master Liu, the secret guard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Rong Leng had a rough understanding of the situation and asked, "Which princess is that female corpse?"

The secret guard shook his head: "I don't know about this yet."

Princess?

There were many princes and princesses in the palace. Rong Lengruo said that he could still barely remember how many half-brothers he had, but he was vague about sisters.

No wonder he felt familiar and thought it was related to the situation in Kyoto, so he was so concerned. He was afraid that when he returned to Beijing, he would leak some information about the situation and lose the opportunity.

It turned out to be just a princess.

However, it is also strange that a princess dressed as a maid died in the wild.

With this thought in mind, Rong Leng got on his horse and headed towards Kyoto.

The top priority is to find Liu Wei first, and ask this woman if there is any explanation for why she went with others voluntarily behind her man's back.

At this time, Liu Wei, who was sitting on the carriage and eating a piece of tea fruit casually, felt a little cold on his back for no reason.

Liu Wei lifted the car curtain and looked outside. After making sure that there was nothing unusual, the uneasiness in her heart eased a little.

But after a while, Liu Wei still felt uneasy and put down the tea fruit. Liu Wei said to the people outside: "Drive faster and return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Liu Wei's words were what Princess Yuehai or Eunuch Su really wanted to say.

However, the two men did not give the order, but let Liu Wei, a "prisoner", speak first, and then forget about it. The cavalry immediately carried out the order and let it go without any abnormalities.

Princess Yuehai really wants to wave her whip and ask, whose generals are you? !

Princess Yuehai was about to speak, but was stopped by Eunuch Su. Obviously, what this eunuch from the deep palace cared about more was the body of Princess Yuping. As long as they could return to Beijing as soon as possible without causing trouble and bringing back the murderer, their The task is completed.

Everything else doesn't matter.

How could Princess Yuehai not know this truth?

However, Princess Yuehai did not think that this matter would go so smoothly.

Princess Yuping is the daughter of the late Concubine Lan. Although Concubine Lan died young, Concubine Lan's sister, Concubine Ping, still lives in the palace and is one of the four concubines.

Princess Yuping disappeared mysteriously three days ago and could not be found anywhere in the palace. Princess Yuehai had close friendship with several princesses, but she was the least familiar with Princess Yuping. This was because Princess Yuping was shy by nature and had a soft temper. She doesn't like to play with many sisters. She has nothing to do on weekdays, that is, copying scriptures in the small Buddhist hall. She was even called the beautiful girl in front of the Buddha by the queen.

As if she also responded to the title of Jade Girl, Princess Yuping would spend several hours in the small Buddhist hall on January 30th and 28th.

But such a quiet and responsible princess suddenly disappeared. In the next two days, news of her murder came.

But what is surprising is that the place where the princess was killed was not in the palace, but outside the palace.

Yes, there was a eunuch from the Jingshifang who was out shopping. When passing by the vegetable market, he heard the neighbors gossiping that someone found a female corpse in the river.

The little eunuch wanted to join in the fun and went to have a look, but he recognized at a glance that the female corpse was actually Princess Yuping.

Since the disappearance of Princess Yuping, although it has been quiet outside the palace, there has been a "jade statue" of the princess that has been widely circulated in the palace, just to find out the whereabouts of the princess.

The princess's body was found, and the young eunuch hurriedly came back to look for someone. After the chief eunuch of the Jingshi Room went to see it in person and confirmed that it was the princess herself, the matter was spread to the queen's ears.

The queen immediately dispatched Ouchi soldiers to investigate in person, and the princess's body was naturally brought back to the palace.

When the emperor found out, he was furious and ordered!

Dali Temple, Jing Zhaoyin, and the three departments of the Ministry of Punishment were sent to jointly investigate the case.

And because the princess was a woman, she was afraid that the body would be disgraced, so Princess Yuehai was sent to inspect it.

Princess Yuehai started to participate in the investigation on the second day after receiving the order.

But on the third day, yesterday, someone came to report that the princess's body was missing.

First the princess disappeared, and now even her body was missing.

The matter became particularly serious. The young eunuch who went to report the matter to the emperor was shot to death outside the palace after the news was brought to him.

The death of the little eunuch showed the emperor's anger at that time.

At this time, no one dared to take any chances. The queen even lent Eunuch Su to recover the princess's jade body as soon as possible.
