Chapter 182: The Government Arrives
Su Yu looked at the two corpses in front of him with wide eyes and some disbelief, although their faces were covered by a handkerchief, it was obvious that their faces must have been damaged by something.
Although Su Yu is young, he has seen too much of the hot and cold world. Although it was the first time he had seen the corpse, he was not as scared as he imagined.
The two bodies obviously had no scars, so the biggest problem was probably on the face.
Su Yu looked at it for a while, then raised his head and looked at Su Wanqing and said, "Sister, are the bodies of these two sisters really from the villagers of Piaomei Village?" β
Although Su Yu asked like this, he obviously had a certain amount of psychological preparation, no wonder his sister asked him before if there was anyone missing in Piaomei Village recently, and the two sisters he said were probably the two in front of him......
But how exactly did they die?
After a while, Su Yu seemed to think of something, and said with wide eyes: "Sister, these two sisters can't be killed by the villagers of Piaomei Village, right?" β
Su Wanqing looked at Su Yu, who was frightened, and knew that this child wanted to be crooked. The shadow and his subordinates next to him also had doubts on their faces, obviously, they also wanted to ask this.
After all, in Fangcai, they already knew that the villagers of this Piaomei Village were obviously doing something unseemly, and the government was hundreds of kilometers away, and it was beyond the reach of the whip. Not to mention, the government doesn't know about these things at all.
But if this was really done by the villagers of Piaomei Village, why did they bother? However, it is not impossible that the body was indeed found in the nearby Piaomei Lake, and the crime site is also there......
Su Wanqing cleared her throat and said softly: "I know you are all confused, and you can't wait to know who the murderer is." However, I can only tell you that it was not the villagers of Piaomei Village who killed these two girls. β
"What is the basis for the Six Imperial Princesses?" Xu Che on the side couldn't help but ask, obviously there was doubt in his eyes.
Su Wanqing said lightly: "I think about this matter very clearly. These villagers sold their daughters-in-law for some benefits. Then it is obvious that these daughters-in-law are likely to fall into the hands of human traffickers or some people with ulterior motives, and this is why they have been poisoned. Those villagers tasted the sweetness, maybe they just thought that their daughter-in-law had been sold to the mountains or something, and they had no idea that they would die tragically in the nearby Piaomei Lake. If they knew, they wouldn't dare to be so rampant. β
Su Wanqing explained the reason for the matter in a few words, and Xu Che and the man in black all had a sudden realization in their eyes. The six princesses also said it, if they really want to kill people, why bother? It's not good for them at all.
But at this moment, in fact, Su Wanqing has no bottom on the murderer.
But if the villagers of Piaomei Village were to ask them, they would definitely get no results.
Before Su Wanqing could speak, Pei Xiu, who had been silent, said softly: "Ying, notify the nearest government to thoroughly investigate this Piaomei Village to see who they have contact with." β
Ying was stunned, and then immediately responded: "Yes!" β
The people next to him also suddenly realized that they couldn't do anything about those villagers, it didn't mean that the government couldn't! Although the official mansion is far away, but the six princes give an order, will they dare not come? What's more, this also involves human trafficking and homicides, and it is impossible for the government to let it go.
Ying soon asked his subordinates to investigate and inform the government, as far as he knew, the nearest government office to Piaomei Village was also dozens of kilometers away, no wonder the whip was out of reach. It's been going to be several hours since I got here, and which official will come over to visit if he has something to do? This is simply not possible.
But it is precisely because of this that the people of Piaomei Village will make so many troubles. In the final analysis, it is still the government's disadvantage.
When the people of the government heard that the six princes had come to Piaomei Village, they did not dare to delay at the moment, and they came to Piaomei Village with people non-stop.
Because of the relationship between the six princes, the number of people brought by the government is also quite large, and it seems that the prestige of the six princes is still very influential.
After hurriedly giving Pei a practice salute, the official lord rushed into Piaomei Village with his men non-stop. Originally, most of the people in Piaomei Village were old people and children, and most of the men were working hard in other places, so they were easily subdued by the people of the government.
In addition, they are already weak-minded, and when they encounter people from the government, where do they dare to use any tools to fight with them? After the people from the official mansion drove the people of Piaomei Village out, Su Wanqing looked at the big man with a fierce scar on Fang Cai, who was like a deflated ball at this moment, and was escorted by a guard in a gray manner, and stumbled out.
For these villagers, the government is already the biggest force, at least in their eyes, they are simply unable to resist the power of the government.
The official lord walked out with a bunch of people, came to Pei Xiu, and saluted respectfully, and then said: "Your Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, all the villagers of Piaomei Village are here now, except for those who are not in the village. β
Pei Xiu nodded lightly.
Those villagers who had seen Pei Xiu and the others were all taken aback when they heard the official lord say this at this moment. This man with a silver mask is actually a prince!
Moreover, he is still the famous Six Princes! These ordinary people, who still live in the deep forest, will never have the opportunity to meet such a big person. For them, the official lord is already very powerful, let alone the prince!
Then the official lord also called out respectfully to Su Wanqing, who was wearing a white veil: "The sixth princess." β
Su Wanqing nodded.
The big man with the scar next to him and the lady who was very unkind to Su Wanqing before turned pale with fright at the moment.
Forget it about the six princes, this girl is actually the sixth princess! Their reputation has also been heard of, although the two have not yet married, but it is just a ceremony away, and the royal family has long recognized Su Wanqing's status.
Thinking that he had offended the Sixth Imperial Concubine so much before, the faces of the eldest man and the eldest lady became even worse, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly. If the six princes and the six princesses want to hold them accountable, I'm afraid that they won't be able to cut off their heads! Offending the royal family is a great crime! Even if they don't live in the Imperial City, they still know these basic common sense.
The official lord didn't care what they thought, he looked at Pei Xiu and said cautiously: "Your Highness, these people, what else is there that you don't know?" If nothing happens, the minister will take them back first. β
Some of the children cried in fear.
Su Wanqing saw Da Zhuang standing in it, he hid behind a middle-aged man and shivered, obviously he also recognized Su Wanqing and knew her identity. If Su Wanqing didn't guess wrong, that middle-aged man was the village chief of Piaomei Village.
As the village head, he naturally knows the situation in Piaomei Village. Now that the government has found this place, it is natural to find out the dirty things they have done. Therefore, the village chief had a sad face, obviously knowing that he would not live in peace in the next few days.
Pei Xiu looked at the official mansion and did not say anything. The official lord stood in place, not leaving, his forehead was sweating slightly, but he didn't dare to wipe it with his hands.
The occurrence of such a serious matter also alarmed the six princes, which was naturally the responsibility of his official government. If he really wants to pursue it, he won't be able to please him. After all, it was your own mistake, wasn't it?
Pei Xiu quietly looked at the officials who were so nervous that they kept sweating, then pointed at Su Wanqing, and said lightly: "There is nothing wrong with this prince, all listen to the six princesses." β
As soon as these words came out, the official lord was shocked, but then it was clear.
I had heard that the six princes doted on their fiancΓ©es very much, but now they saw that it was true. For such an important matter, the six princes are so relieved to hand over to the six princesses to do, one can imagine how high the status of the six princesses is in his heart.
After all, the official has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is also a good person, and he knows how to observe words and feelings. He said even more respectfully to Su Wanqing at the moment: "Sixth princess, if there is anything to ask the minister, please tell the minister, where the minister can do it, he must not give up!" β
Su Wanqing raised her eyebrows, pointed to the big man and the lady who were shrinking back, and the village chief who was silently wiping his sweat and said, "Bring them over, I have a few words to ask them." β
The eyes of the official lord glared, and his subordinates immediately escorted three people up, although Da Zhuang was very scared, but he still followed behind his father, and now it became four people.
Su Wanqing ordered the shadow to bring the two corpses up, she looked at them and said: "These two corpses were found somewhere before, after investigation, two people have disappeared in Piaomei Village recently, and the disappearance of these two people is obviously the handiwork of you villagers." Anyway, do you know these two women? β
When the lady saw one of the corpses, her face suddenly changed. She pointed to the corpse and stammered, "This, isn't this my daughter-in-law Juan'er?" How so? β
Su Wanqing looked at her and said lightly: "How do you conclude that this is your daughter-in-law?" β
The eldest lady shrank, but seeing that Su Wanqing didn't seem to blame her, she boldly said: "Back to the sixth princess, this ...... There was a dark red, flower-like birthmark on the corpse's hand, which was only owned by my daughter-in-law, and the peasant woman would never admit it. β
Su Wanqing looked at her, and then said: "These two bodies were found in Piaomei Lake, do you know what the consequences will be if the government investigates them?" β
The eldest lady's face changed suddenly, she knelt down "plopped", kowtowed again and again: "Sixth princess, Juan'er was not killed by a peasant woman!" The peasant woman was also blinded by lard for a while, greedy for a little profit. The peasant woman never thought that Juan'er would become like this! Please the six princesses to learn clearly! β
