Chapter 375: The Prince's Mansion Maiden
When I was panicked, there was also a lot of discussion.
"Today's imperial city is really not peaceful, no, a lot of female corpses have been found outside the city, the one who died is called a miserable, and people are distressed when they look at it, what is it that can do such a thing?"
In the west of the city, Aunt Li sat in front of the door with a small bench, a bamboo basket on her lap, beans in her hand, and babbling with Aunt Wang of the next door about what had happened in recent days.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know who this villain is, he is so vicious!" Fortunately, my little daughter has a good errand in the Prince's Mansion, which is both stable and can earn money, which really makes me feel a lot more relieved. ”
Speaking of her daughter, Aunt Wang unconsciously straightened her waist and looked proud: "My little daughter can be described as filial, and she will ask someone to send silver to the family every month, firstly to ease the family's economy, and secondly, to tell us that she is doing well." ”
"Your family is really capable!" Speaking of this, Aunt Li was envious.
Her daughter is still young, and her son is a lazy person, and the family's life is expected to fall on Aunt Li and his wife, which is not a lot of pressure.
Thinking of this, Aunt Li couldn't help but shake her head and sigh: "Maybe those dead girls were also the hope of the family, but now that something happens, their family may be so sad." ”
As she spoke, Aunt Li leaned closer to Aunt Wang and whispered in Aunt Wang's ear: "I passed by that place the day before yesterday and inadvertently saw a female corpse. I was stunned and didn't dare to get too close, but at first glance, I knew that she was a good-looking girl, and there was a plum blossom mark on her shoulder, which was really eye-catching. ”
Speaking of this plum blossom mark, Aunt Li couldn't help but muttered again: "Didn't Hanxiang also have a plum blossom mark on her shoulder when she was born?" ”
There seemed to be a loud thunder in her ears, and the smile on Aunt Wang's face that had not had time to restrain stiffened on her face, and the bamboo basket and green vegetables in her hand turned over to the ground from her hands, and countless dust and mud were contaminated with it.
"Aunt Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Li seemed to have just noticed her abnormality, and before she finished her questioning, she saw that Aunt Wang's face was as pale as paper, and she ran away as if she was crazy, and kept muttering: "Hanxiang...... Scented ......"
Aunt Li was stunned for a long time, and suddenly realized, and also put down the bamboo basket and chased after it.
All the female corpses found in the imperial city have been handed over to the yamen for temporary care.
At that time, it was noon, people came and went on the street, and countless shouts came into her ears.
As soon as I turned a corner, I could see a crowd of people at the entrance of the yamen in the distance.
Aunt Wang didn't care about the sidelines, so she just squeezed through the crowd all the way and successfully entered the yamen.
Just an hour before this, another female corpse was discovered, and this matter has attracted the attention of the imperial court, so as soon as the female corpse was handed over, officials came to investigate, trying to get some clues from it.
"The deceased had been dead for about three or four days."
It took a long examination to come to such a conclusion.
Everyone's hearts sank, and now with the increase in the number of female corpses, the panic in the hearts of the people has also increased.
Thinking like this, everyone's faces sank like water.
At that moment, a cry rang out, and before everyone could react, a woman in a coarse linen garment came out of nowhere, and pounced on one of the many female corpses, crying and crying.
"Hanxiang, mother's Hanxiang, how did you become like this! Scented ......"
Aunt Li followed closely, and when she saw this scene, her heart also jumped, and her heart was very tight.
Hanxiang has watched her grow up since she was a child, she is a lively and lovely girl, but who knows that in the blink of an eye, there is a separation between yin and yang.
Lord Zheng, who was the leader, took the lead in coming back to his senses and waved his hand to let people support Aunt Wang, but Aunt Wang hugged the female corpse and did not let go, crying sadly and moving.
Master Zheng had no choice but to give up, squatted down and asked, "This lady, this female corpse...... But your daughter? ”
Aunt Wang opened her teary hazy eyes and looked at Lord Zheng slightly, she let go of the hand holding the female corpse, grabbed the corner of Lord Zheng's clothes tightly, and said with a rich cry: "My lord, my lord...... You're going to call the shots for me! My daughter died so miserably, my lord......"
The former well-behaved and lovely daughter became a dead body that could not move in the blink of an eye, and this earth-shaking change made Aunt Wang fall into a deep sadness and could not extricate herself.
Aunt Wang cried bitterly, intermittently saying that she wanted Lord Zheng to seek justice for her daughter.
Although there was no logic in the words, Lord Zheng still made some effort to figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Aunt Wang was holding her daughter Hanxiang, who was originally on an errand in the prince's mansion, and would ask someone to send money home every month.
However, there was no movement this month, and Aunt Wang muttered in her heart, but she didn't care much about it, until she heard her mention the plum blossom mark when chatting with Aunt Li, and she was very uneasy.
Looking at Aunt Wang, who had tears and snot in her eyes, Lord Zheng didn't know what to say for a while to comfort the white-haired woman who sent the black-haired woman.
"What's going on?"
Suddenly there was a question behind him, and Lord Zheng looked back, but saw a man in a green coat standing behind him.
The officials hurriedly said: "Eleventh prince." ”
Xie Wen responded lightly, looked at Aunt Wang, who was about to faint from crying, and then looked at Master Zheng again.
Lord Zheng understood, lowered his head and said, "Eleventh prince, this woman is the mother of one of the victims, and when she learned of the situation, she came here to confirm. ”
Lord Zheng briefly told the story, and when he learned that Hanxiang had worked as a maid in the prince's mansion, Xie Wen raised his eyebrows lightly, slightly surprised.
But seeing him squatting down slightly, his eyes were sincere: "Aunt Wang, I am the eleventh prince Xie Wen, Ling Yan's matter, please also mourn on the eldest lady's day." ”
"How to mourn? This is the little daughter I have loved since I was a child! ”
Aunt Wang was carried away by the heartache, and she didn't notice that the person standing in front of her at this moment was the current eleventh prince.
Fortunately, Xie Wen was sympathetic to her current mood and didn't think too much about it, but said: "Auntie, I know, but there are some things that still need the cooperation of Auntie, so that Miss Hanxiang can be fair as soon as possible." ”
Xu is Xie Wen's words were exactly what Aunt Wang thought, and Aunt Wang looked at him in a daze for a long time before she nodded stunned: "Okay." ”
Xie Wen pulled the corners of his lips slightly, got up and asked his entourage to help Aunt Wang up, and commanded in a low voice: "Go to the Prince's Mansion." ”
When Xie Wen arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Xie Yuan was not in the Mansion.
I heard that the eleventh prince came to the door, and the crown princess received him personally.
The bright sun is shining on the head, the heat makes people irritable, in the hall of the prince's mansion, the princess is only wearing a light yellow Luo skirt, and three thousand green silk is coiled behind her head, which is very gentle.
