Chapter 22: The Corpse Hidden in the Riverbank

Tang Mengru was facing a great enemy, and he was ready to fight him to the death, but who knew that Duan Jingyi didn't even look at her, and walked to the shore without looking.

When he came ashore, he tilted his head slightly, and his eyes were cloudy.

"When are you going to see it?"

Tang Meng reacted when he heard this, covered his eyes with a bang, and brought up a splash.

Half an hour later, Mama Wang sent a bowl of snow clam soup to Duan Jingyi's study with a normal face, looking very calm, as if the farce this morning had nothing to do with her.

Duan Jingyi didn't raise his head.

"I'll send someone to take you back to Sanssouci Island in a moment."

"No return."

Duan Jing slapped the pen on the desk and lowered his voice, "What are you going to do?" ”

"The head of the house said that you are not honest, let me serve here until you and the princess have another child."

It's really outrageous the more you talk about it, "What kind of character are you in charge of?" She's messing around, and you're messing around? You are an old lady who came out of the palace, how can you become so willful! ”

Mama Wang turned a deaf ear and still waited leisurely on the side.

Duan Jingyi has been really hot these days, not to mention Tang Meng, who is an angry person around him, and there are people from Sanssouci Island who come to make trouble.

"Are you really not leaving?"

"The old slave won't leave."

That's good, Duan Jingyi's face sank, "Come on, there is dirt mixed in today's meal, ......"

"Slow down!" Mama Wang knew that he would deal with innocent people to force herself to leave, and the master of Sanssouci Island had already prepared for this.

Mama Wang unhurriedly took out the remaining half packet of powder from her sleeve and handed it to Duan Jingyi.

"The prince doesn't blame them for this, the meal is fine, it's just that I sprinkled some of my own pollen on the sachet I gave to the princess today, this pollen is non-toxic and harmless, but the ginseng in the chicken soup will make people feel hot, and now there is still half a pack left, you can use it yourself when you need it."

Duan Jing's face was pale, although the head of Sanssouci Island had not left the island for decades, his temperament was really getting more and more excessive.

He slammed the medicine bag in his hand, Mama Wang was not surprised at all, and said, "The old slave retired first, and the master had instructions, saying that if you are disobedient, she has a way to let you and the princess reconcile, and you are so old that she should save her worry." ”

After saying that, he saluted and left, leaving Duan Jingyi's face black to the extreme.

Sanssouci Island, few people in the world know very much, and even Duan Jingyi's sibling Duan Jingqi, who sits in Longdu, doesn't know that this place exists.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have misunderstood and resented Duan Jingyi for so long.

Thinking that there was still a big case to investigate in his hand, Duan Jingyi had no choice but to force himself to calm down and decided to do his homework in front of Mama Wang, lest the master be born again.

Tang Meng soaked comfortably, and even took a groggy nap for a while, and when he woke up, the sky was already bright.

Xing'er saw Tang Meng wake up and respectfully handed over her new clothes.

"Niangniang, you are awake, the prince ordered the slave and maid to wait here," Xing'er still had palpitations when she said these words, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when she thought of Duan Jingyi's face.

Tang Meng was a little embarrassed, she came out of the water with a red face, she got dressed and walked out of the garden while asking about Xiao Tao's situation, and she was relieved when she heard that she was gradually improving.

After walking a few more steps, he saw a black figure in the distance, respectfully waiting in the distance.

Tang Meng sent Xing'er away and walked over by himself, Jia San was still expressionless, as if he didn't know anything, which made Tang Meng feel a lot more comfortable.

"You went to explore the riverbank last night?"

"Yes, as Niangniang guessed, there are indeed many corpses of young girls hidden in the river embankment, which is consistent with the death method found on the outskirts of the city, but the time of death is much earlier than those two corpses."

Tang Meng chuckled in her heart, and sure enough, she guessed it.

Xiao Tao said that there were many girls on the flower boat, so Tang Meng guessed that there were only a few who could withstand such a beating, and most of them were probably already miserable.

And the river embankment is the best place to hide the corpse, not only is it convenient to throw the corpse near the flower boat, but it is also an official act, once something happens, the blame can be put on Dong Cheng's head and let him be a substitute for the dead.

What's more, there is a good chance that this matter will not be discovered, and once the embankment is completed, it is the perfect place to dump the body.

Tang Meng couldn't care about being angry and shy, so he took Jia San and went straight to Duan Jingyi's study, and told him everything he had discovered.

Duan Jingyi frowned, his eyes were deep, and his long fingers rubbed the edge of the white jade cup.

Tang Meng also frowned unconsciously, "It's good that they hid the corpses in the river embankment, why do they have to transport two bodies separately and throw them at the junction of Longdu?" ”

A hint of murderous aura flashed in Duan Jingyi's eyes, he understood Duan Jingxun's methods.

"Maybe it's because they've already completed part of the plan, and the next part is to frame me and King Qi who sits in Longdu, and it's best to cause our brothers to kill each other."

"King Qi? Where did the girls who had been tortured and poisoned but not died? ”

Duan Jingyi's eyes sank suddenly, "Early Autumn Palace Selection!" ”

"What?" Tang Meng was also taken aback, "You mean those who are still alive were sent to the palace?" ”

If this is the case, then Duan Jingxun's strength will not be able to do this at all, unless there is someone in the palace to respond.

Duan Jingyi immediately summoned more than a dozen secret guards and sent them a task to investigate, if it was really someone in the palace who was involved, then the matter would become even more complicated.

And since someone deliberately trained a group of girls who were not afraid of injury or death and were highly poisonous to infiltrate the palace, it was not just to frame him as a prince, but also to have greater ambitions.

It's just that the people who play chess behind the scenes also know that the success or failure of the plan can't all be pressed on some little girls, so they will make double preparations and deliberately create a murder in the imperial city.

At that time, if the girls in the palace fail to succeed, they can still jump out and set off a murder case to detain Duan Jingyi for failing to protect him, and by the way, he will be charged with suspected collusion.

How could Emperor Duan endure such a thing happening under his nose, he would definitely be furious.

When the time comes, the two hot princes will both step down, and only the second prince Duan Jingxun will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

It's really a big game of chess.

The matter is clear, but there is no real evidence at the moment.

Duan Jingyi once again set his eyes on Tang Meng.

"Do you have a way to contact Dong Cheng when you go to the south of the city?"

As smart as her, "Do you want Dong Cheng to help you secretly keep an eye on those flower boats?" ”

"Not bad."

Tang dreamed about it, when she went to the south of the city yesterday, she found that although the entertainment industry was prosperous, everything was in order, and she saw the excitement but not the chaos, presumably this Dong Governor was an iron fist, and the people on the flower boat buried the body in the river embankment, which showed that Dong Cheng was not in cahoots with them, and they were ready to frame him at any time.

Will someone who hasn't been bought by the other party necessarily join our team?

Tang Meng unconsciously gnawed his nails, it was not easy to subdue such a person.

But as long as you are human, you must have a weakness.

Tang dreamed for a moment, and then raised his eyes, "If I can accept Dong Cheng, the reward will be doubled." ”

Duan Jingyi raised his eyebrows, take it? It's a big breath, but you might as well give it a try.

"Yes, how many people do you need?"

"No, you just need to get the silver ready!" Tang Meng couldn't wait to jump out of the threshold as she spoke, she couldn't delay her work with such a big deal, "Silently, let's go!" ”
