At this time, the boat had already landed on the shore, and Chen Ying's attention also turned to the shore, and he was about to walk forward with his feet raised.

"Girl, don't go there." Mother Feng grabbed her and said in a low voice: "I just fished it out, it's not clean, the girl is far away." ”

Chen Ying glanced back at her, and said in a calm voice, "I have to pass." After that, I still have to write an excerpt to His Majesty, if I don't read it carefully, how can I write it? ”

Her tone was too calm, and Mother Feng was stunned by what she said.

After a while, Feng's mother let go of her hand and said reluctantly: "In this case, the girl should stand farther away, but don't get too close." ”

Chen Ying knew that Mother Feng could say this, which was already the biggest concession made by Mrs. Xu, so she had to nod helplessly: "I know, I'll just stand by and watch for a while, I won't get close." ”

Mother Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and called two more servants who looked bolder, and the three of them escorted Chen Ying and accompanied her to the shore.

Several lowly servants were moving the corpses, and although Chen Ying was inconvenient to approach, her eyes under the fence were wide open and she was carefully observing.

Fang was far away and couldn't see clearly, but now that it was closer, Chen Ying saw that the corpse was about one meter five at most, and the body was not high, and it was initially speculated that the deceased was either a woman or a teenager who had not yet grown up.

Chen Ying's gaze swept to the lower part of the corpse, but he only saw the rotting flesh and some remnants of clothing, but the pelvic part was completely covered

She couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

There is a very clear difference in the shape of the pelvis between men and women. The male pelvis is usually like a funnel, while the female pelvis is nearly round. Generally speaking, the shape of the pelvis can be used to determine the sex of the deceased more accurately.

It's a pity that this corpse is only half-decomposed, and Chen Ying can't see the pelvis, so there is no way to conclude this.

"It's a woman." An old official standing near the corpse suddenly said, which surprised Chen Ying.

When the old officer had said this, he leaned forward, and with a piece of cloth in his hand, he took something from the right hand of the corpse.

Chen Ying stared at it, but saw that it turned out to be a jade bracelet.

"Gold and jade." The old official took the bracelet and glanced at it, and said so, Fu took his hand again, and immediately changed his words: "The lower official said wrong, this is copper inlaid with jade." ”

Another middle-aged official stepped forward, looked at his hand for a while, and shook his head: "There is no mark." I'm afraid it's a small workshop, or it's an object sold by a merchant, and it's not worth a few dollars. ”

When the two of them were talking, the two people who went into the water to fish for the corpses had different faces, and sometimes turned their eyes to Pei Shu, as if they had something to say.

Pei Shu naturally noticed it, and quickly asked, "What's wrong?" What else is there underneath the water? ”

Although the voice is moving, the tone is very fierce, and there is an indescribable sense of oppression.

The two corpse collectors trembled in fright, and the younger one of them had the courage to nod on one knee and said in a very strange tone: "Lord Qiyu, I didn't say that there were two corpses before, and this money has to be calculated separately." ”

Two corpses?!

Chen Ying and Pei Shu changed their faces at the same time.

"There's a corpse underwater?" It was an official next to Pei Shu who was questioning. There was also obvious shock on his face.

The young corpse digger nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there is another corpse, but only the bones remain." ”

There was silence at the water's edge.

Under the small lake in Xingjibo Mansion, there are actually two corpses calm?

Chen Ying couldn't help but turn her gaze away and look at the swaying lotus flowers, feeling a bit of irony in her heart.

Who would have thought that under this holy and beautiful flower, there were two lives buried?

"Fish it up. Money is extra. Pei Shu gave the answer succinctly.

The corpse collector replied with a happy face, and then took a small boat with the other man, and sailed again to the water area where he had just now.

Pei Shu slowly paced towards the place where the female corpse was, and the two officials were still talking softly, taking notes quickly, not noticing his arrival.

"She's supposed to be a young maid." Beside him, a voice suddenly sounded.

It's a girl's voice.

It was clean, calm, like a stream of water, flowing slowly past his ears.

He looked sideways, and saw the girl dressed in purple standing beside him, followed by three servants with not very good-looking faces.

Chen Ying didn't know when he also came over.

"How do you tell?" Pei Shu asked, and at the same time raised a hand and touched his chin, the expression on his face was still as fierce as ever, and even that little bit of interest was hidden.

"My lord, look at her belt." Chen Ying said, the eyes under the fence were fixed on the waist of the female corpse, where there were a few pieces of fabric that could not be seen, "This kind of Biluo scarf, twenty wen one on the market, this spring, it is very fashionable for a while." ”

Although the belt was rotten and broken, the color and texture could barely be seen, and it was the kind that Chen Ying used to tie people up when he entered the palace some time ago.

The belt of twenty cents is really despised by the nobles with status.

Of course, Chen Ying herself is an exception, but Pei Shu doesn't know about this.

"This belt has been on the market since late February this year, and the material is quite thick." Chen Ying continued, expounding her analysis: "According to this inference, when this maid fell into the water, it should be in spring, when the weather is not too hot. That is, two or three months ago. ”

Pei Shu didn't speak, looked at Chen Ying with slightly raised eyes, and smiled at the corners of his mouth: "You are a girl, you know a lot." ”

"That's it." Chen Ying said calmly: "If I don't know much, Your Majesty will not give me gold medals and oracles. Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and he naturally knows whether I really understand or not. ”

There is still no politeness in the words, and he always uses the name of Emperor Yuan Jia to suppress people.

This kind of-for-tat tone, if you change to an ordinary official, I am afraid that I will be angry.

It's just that Pei Shu is obviously not an ordinary official, and even for this kind of bold woman, he doesn't feel strange, at most he is a little surprised.

He looked at Chen Ying in surprise, and his expression was not so much surprised by the boldness of her words, but rather surprised that a noble girl could speak so straightforwardly.

After a long while, he touched his chin and nodded, but he didn't speak.

He just glanced at the official's record, which also recorded the same inference as Chen Ying.

The two officials are old officials, and they don't know the murders they have handled, and they are extremely experienced, and it is not unusual for the time when the corpses are cut off and died.

However, it is very surprising that the third girl of the Guogong Mansion can make such a guess based on the remnants of a belt. <
