When he returned to the mansion, he heard Qin Wujiang waiting for him.

"Borderless." Cao Yu walked into the hall.

Qin Wujiang turned around anxiously, but he paused when he opened his mouth, and looked him up and down: "What did you do, your face is full of spring, and the scenery is shining." ”

Cao Yu glanced at him and shook off his hand that was gesturing randomly.

"There is a problem, there is a problem!" Qin Wujiang shouted: "Didn't you see Zhaoning going!" ”

"Cousin Zhaoning?" Cao Yu frowned and shook his head: "No, how dare I be rude." ”

Qin Wujiang licked his lips, "Our family Zhaoning has been weird these days, and I also knew about it just now, she is kind to you-"

"Boundless," Cao Yu suddenly interrupted, "You came suddenly, but what happened?" ”

"Look at me," Qin Wujiang patted his forehead, "It's Mu Sheng." ”

"What's wrong with her?" Cao Yu grabbed Qin Wujiang's wrist.

Qin Wujiang raised his eyebrows: "You still care about her, how is it, is this princess cousin surprised you everywhere?" ”

Cao Yu smiled: "Yes, I am surprised everywhere." ”

Qin Wujiang laughed as he let the wooden kite come out.

"This is her girl, she said let me help find a ** girl, you see, can you borrow another one of the soldiers and horses of your city defense division?" Qin Wujiang said, and added: "It's the black-clothed man in casual clothes last time." ”

This time it was not Cao Yu's unauthorized action.

Jing Zhaoyin had already sent an arrest document, and Qin Wujiang searched for a day without finding it, so he came to ask for help, which was very reasonable.

Cao Yu naturally agreed.

"The fifth prince is patrolling the city, and we can join him." Cao Yu said and took the two of them out together.

The wooden kite couldn't ride a horse, so it was placed in Cao Mansion by Cao Yu first.

As the night darkened, Cao Yu and Qin Wujiang searched the streets to no avail, but Changning in Weiyang Palace had eyebrows.

"Princess, the slave maid has seen it, and there is no golden knife in the entire treasury of Weiyang Palace." Yin Qiao said.

Changning stood up.

No.

It didn't.

Since the golden knife is her full moon gift, even if this kind of thing happens, it should be sent to Weiyang Palace for collection in the end.

But Weiyang Palace does not have the so-called golden knife.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no such knife at all, or that the golden knife and dagger were used for something at that time, it was hidden or destroyed by the emperor.

Changning pressed his eye sockets.

The pool is too deep.

She didn't dare to have any more conjectures.

"Yin Qiao, do you know that those people were responsible for burying the queen mother in the first place."

Yin Qiao raised his head: "Your Highness, this is ......"

"Who else but that Mama Peng?"

Yin Qiao shook his head: "The slave doesn't know." ”

"Go and get me a palace maid's clothes." Changning said.

It was late at night, and Changning followed Yin Qiao to the place where Zhu'er's body was parked.

"Your Highness has an order, the deceased is the greatest, and now that he has experienced the corpse, he can call Mama Peng to lead someone to collect the corpse." Yin Qiao Ling turned his head to Changning and said, "You just wait here and watch them get things done." ”

"Yes." Changning nodded yes.

However, as soon as Yin Qiao left, the eunuch who guarded the house left under the pretext of illness.

In this unfortunate realm, he didn't want to stay for a moment.

What's more, Aunt Yin Qiao was only negligent, and only made this unlucky guy look at it, but she didn't say that he also had to watch it.

The night was empty and cool, a gust of wind came, and the heat was gone.

Suddenly, there was a stabbing and mopping sound on the palace road outside.

An old woman with unkempt hair came over with a straw mat covering the bed.

"Mama Peng?" Changning asked.

"Yes." The old lady nodded, and skillfully went in and dragged Zhu'er's body to the bed, tied it with a rope, covered it with a straw mat, and prepared to be dragged away.

The wind picked up in the night, and it was a few degrees cooler.

Changning stepped forward and held the rope that pulled the bed board in his hand.

Mama Peng looked at her, her cloudy eyes glowing sickly yellow.

"It's been some years since Mama cleaned up the corpses in the palace." She asked.

Mama Peng nodded, and Mu Ran spoke: "This place where people live has to die, it is a rule set by God, and no one can change it." ”

Changning was silent for a while.

"You're right, but there's always a difference between damned and undamned."

Mama Peng giggled like a hoarse cat meow, and it was especially cold in the dark night.

"What do you call damned, what do you call you don't damn?" The old woman grinned, and her mouth, which was missing half of its teeth, looked like a beast about to bite people.

"Child, go back to where you should go, be careful tomorrow night, the old woman will drag you." Mama Peng pulled the rope back and hung it on her shoulder, and pulled it out of the yard.

Changning watched her walk out and stubbornly followed.

"I'm trying to get justice for my mother." She said, "I have to know." ”

Mama Peng walked away silently.

Changning did not regress.

With a click, the bed board flipped over as it crossed the threshold, and half of Zhu'er's head peeked out of the straw mat.

The pale and resentful eyes widened, and the blue and black face was full of gloomy resentment.

Changning's face was expressionless.

Mama Peng looked at Zhu'er and then at her.

"Who do you want to ask? There are so many people who collect the corpses of the old woman that the old woman herself can't remember it. ”

"You must remember this." Changning said.

Mama Peng stiffened her movements as she tied Zhu'er back to the bed.

"Fifteen years ago, was there anyone who was stabbed to death with a dagger?"

With a clang, the bed slammed to the ground again.

Zhu'er's body rolled out and stopped at Changning's feet.

Mama Peng hurriedly stepped forward, but Changning blocked in front of her: "There is a person who died under the dagger, right." ”

"No, no, no," Mama Peng shook her head frantically, she muttered: "No one, it's all knife wounds, it's all knife wounds." ”

Mama Peng anxiously turned over Zhu'er and dragged her to the bed, but the rope that could be tied skillfully and quickly was disobedient at this moment, and the snake seemed to twist left and right, but it couldn't be tied.

Can't tie it.

Changning stood behind Mama Peng, as stiff as a corpse.

"Who is it?" She asked, taking a step forward.

"Not really." Mama Peng argued, and when she turned around, the cold light was cold.

Mama Peng was so frightened that she fell to the ground.

Changning had already drawn the dagger hidden in his boot.

This is the one Fang Qian gave her for self-defense.

It's not a magic weapon that sharpens iron like clay, but a standard dagger.

Changning stared at Mama Peng, and one hand poked into Zhu'er's chest without hesitation: "Who is it, die under the dagger." ”

Mama Peng was so frightened that her three souls were gone, and she was only trembling.

Changning pulled out the dagger and stabbed it again.

Zhu'er's corpse had long since lost consciousness, and the blood had dried up and not gushing out, but the black blood that meandered out of the wound was even more oozing.

Mama Peng has been dealing with corpses for thirty years, and she has never seen Changning so cruel and fierce.

She trembled and did not dare to speak.

At this time, Changning naturally will not stop intimidating.

Her hand holding the knife was as steady as Tarzan, and she turned her head to look at Zhu'er's corpse, the strangulation marks on her neck were too conspicuous.

She raised her dagger aloft, aiming at Nare.

A single knife is enough to cut the throat.

"Nope! No! Mama Peng suddenly shouted: "I said, I said!" ”

Changning's blade paused half an inch in front of Zhu'er's throat.

She turned her head to stare at Mama Peng.

Mama knelt on the ground: "It's Niangniang, it's Niangniang, only Niangniang was stabbed to death, it was Niangniang who was stabbed to death with a dagger." ”
