When the carriage was about to arrive at the gate of the Jing'an Palace, a familiar voice came from afar: "Your Highness! Your Highness! Help the old minister!! ”

Ye Qiqi was slightly stunned, what is this voice?

She turned her head to look at Mo Hanqing, then reached out and lifted the curtain of the window, and looked outside the carriage, only to see Master Gu running towards the carriage with the hem of his robe in both hands, with an expression of almost crying on his face.

With a "phew-" sound, the coachman tightened the reins of the carriage and stopped the carriage.

Master Gu rushed to the carriage, knelt down on his knees with a "poof", and said loudly towards the carriage of the carriage: "Your Highness, Your Highness, there has been another big case recently, and the old minister has not closed his eyes for two days and two nights, but he still has no clue, please Your Highness, save the old minister, help the old minister." ”

Mo Hanqing frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, slowly walked out of the carriage, and looked at Master Gu condescendingly: "Stand up and say." ”

"Yes." After Lord Gu answered, he quickly stood up.

As soon as he stood up like this, Ye Qiqi realized that after not seeing each other for a while, Master Gu had become a lot haggard all of a sudden, and his hair and beard, which were already gray, now seemed to be even whiter, his face was full of wrinkles, his expression was haggard, his eyes were anxious, and two big black circles under his eyes hung on his face in such a grand manner.

"What's going on?" Mo Hanqing looked at Lord Gu's hair, which was also a little messy, frowned, and asked in a low voice.

"Back to His Highness, the day before yesterday, the official of the Yamen of the capital came to report that he had caught something strange in the small river on the outskirts of the city." Master Gu straightened up and said to Mo Hanqing: "On that day, several village women near the outskirts of the city went to the river to wash their clothes, but while washing, a white flower thing suddenly floated over in the river, and those village women felt curious, so they salvaged the white flower thing and took a look, who knew that this look found that it was actually a human hand......

"Manpower?" Mo Hanqing frowned slightly.

"Yes, after the village women found out that a human hand was fished out, they immediately reported it to the official, and the people in the yamen fished in that small river for a whole day, and finally only salvaged some mutilated limbs." Master Gu said to Mo Hanqing with a haggard face: "But recently, there have been no missing people in the capital, so it is difficult for us to confirm the identity of the deceased." ”

"What do you say?" Mo Hanqing pondered for a moment, and then asked towards Master Gu.

"Judging from the mutilated limbs found so far, the deceased should be a woman." Master Gu sighed, shook his head, and said, "Judging from the bone age, it looks like about seventeen or eighteen years old. ”

Mo Hanqing listened to Master Gu's words and didn't speak for a while.

"Because the place where the body was found was near the village on the outskirts of the city, although the place was remote, it was the only way to enter the capital...... If the old minister hasn't solved the case yet...... Lao Chen...... The old minister ...... "Lord Gu was about to cry as he spoke.

Mo Hanqing waved his hand and said in a low voice: "This king knows, and after this king sends the princess back, I will go with you to have a look." ”
