Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 534 A Broken Arm

Because of this sound, many people gathered around.

Su Rumeng glanced over there and said, "I don't know what happened, let's go and have a look."

After coming out of the waterside pavilion, Liu Yunxiang and the others realized that the men had also come over because of the movement, and looked at the middle of the pool one after another.

The dog by the pool was still barking wildly, and his master, a burly young man, was tugging on the dog's leash.Liu Yunxiang asked Su Rumeng who this young man was, and Su Rumeng said he was the second son of the Hou family.

Marquis Dingyuan was seriously injured when he quelled the riots in Nanzhou last year, but he left in a month, and the uncle of the Hou family is a rich dude who eats and drinks, and has no ability to attack the prince. Fortunately, Mrs. Hou gave birth to three sons. He is a dragon and a phoenix among people, so there is still hope for the Dingyuanhou Mansion.

"Xiaotian! Stop barking!"

The black dog was as strong as a bear, and was trying to rush into the pond, and the two young masters had already dragged it very hard.

Fortunately, at this time, a young man ran over and quickly helped hold the dog's leash.

"Han Er, what are you barking like a dog, don't disturb the female guests." The fourth prince, Qin Shengrui, waved a folding fan, dressed in a white robe, and walked over thinking he was suave.

The others also followed, and when Liu Yunxiang saw Yan Mu, he frowned with impatience on his face.And Xue Changfeng was walking beside him, chattering something.

Yan Mu went to the left, he followed to the left, Yan Mu went to the right, he also went to the right.

Liu Yunxiang couldn't help laughing, Xue Changfeng was as arrogant as a peacock, no one looked down on him, especially Yan Mu, but he just loved to get close to Yan Mu.

"Your Highness Seventh, I admit that you are good-looking, capable, and powerful, okay? But don't take yourself too seriously, thinking that all the women in the world will fall in love with you. Let me tell you, I Cousin is different from other women, she values ​​this person's character more, but Your Highness's character is really not flattering."

Yan Mu gritted his teeth: "You said that you were drunk first that night, and the hospitality was not good. I said that it doesn't matter if you are not good, but it is very serious that you almost lost your innocence. I didn't want to say more, you insisted To get to the bottom of it, I think we are also friends, so I remind you that your cousin has a mind to climb high. Well, I shouldn't say this sentence, let you fool suffer a lot to learn smart."

"My cousin has a noble heart. Although she is smart, she abides by justice. Don't slander her!"

Yan Mu rolled his eyes, "Okay, I slandered her then."

"Why are you rolling your eyes? Don't you believe me? No, I have to tell you clearly."

Yan Muzheng was helpless, someone shouted again: "It seems...it seems like a piece of bloody meat!"

As soon as these words came out, the female guests standing forward took a few steps back in panic.

The others retreated, Liu Yunxiang walked to the edge of the pond, and looked into the middle.There is a wooden pillar in the middle of the lotus pond, and a lantern is hung on it. If you look down, you can see a rope attached to the wooden pillar, and something is falling below it.Looking carefully, it does look like meat, and there seems to be a bloodstain on the lotus leaf next to it.

The second son of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion stared carefully for a while, but because the lotus leaves blocked him, he couldn't see clearly, so he asked a young man to swim over to have a look.

The young man got into the water and watched the middle of the pond swim. When he was a step away, he saw what it was, his face suddenly changed, and he turned and swam back in panic.

"Second Young Master... is... is..."

Han Ling, the second son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, frowned and shouted at the servant, "Why are you panicking, speak clearly!"

"It's... an arm!"

As soon as these words came out, many people present exclaimed again and again.

"arm?"

"A human arm!"

Then Han Ling's face darkened, "Did you read it wrong?"

"The servant can see clearly!"

He paused, "Go and get that thing up!"

"Slave..."

"The sky is bright and bright, there are so many people, what are you afraid of! Go!"

Under the urging of the master, although the boy turned pale with fright, he turned around and swam slowly.All the people present were watching him. Seeing him pulling the rope, he glanced at the thing hanging on the other end of the rope. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He simply grabbed the end of the rope and hurried to the side.

After swimming to the edge of the pool, the boy climbed up, and then lifted the rope up, and it was a severed arm!Obviously, it has been hanging in this pond for some time, and the flesh and flesh are all rotten, and the rancid smell is overflowing.

Seeing this, the female guests ran out of the garden in fright.When Bai Jingyu saw this, she was afraid that she would not be too scared, but she was so smoked that she vomited again and again.

Su Rumeng called Liu Yunxiang, "My dear boy, let's go to the front yard."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Sister Su, take Sisao to the front, I'll take a look."

Su Rumeng knew that Liu Yunxiang had always had ideas, so she stopped persuading her and helped Bai Jingyu to go forward.

On the male side, there are some people who are afraid, but it is not easy to show their self-esteem, so they are all there, and they are still around there.Liu Yunxiang walked behind Yan Mu and tugged at his sleeve, he held her hand behind his back, and the two stood outside.

After Han Ling was surprised, he hurriedly asked the boy to report to the police.

Not long after, the official messenger from Jingzhao Mansion came. Seeing this arm, several big men couldn't help wiping away their cold sweat.

"Second Young Master, a few nights ago, a maidservant in your house died on Zhuangzi, do you know?"

Han Ling frowned and nodded, "I know, but what does it have to do with this broken arm?"

The leading official's face turned black and said: "The maid's limbs were cut off before she died, but now she is missing an arm. We searched the whole Zhuangzi but couldn't find it. I think it is... this is this."

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help taking a step back, "Why did the murderer throw this arm into the lotus pond?"

Xue Changfeng widened his eyes and shouted, "I know!"

Everyone looked at him, waiting for his answer.

Xue Changfeng squinted his eyes, "Obviously this murderer is targeting your Marquis Mansion, killing this maidservant is just to scare you!"

When Han Ling heard this, his face turned darker and his expression became more flustered, "Brother Xue seems to make sense."

Others also echoed, thinking that what Xue Changfeng said was indeed reasonable.

"The murderer used such cruel methods to kill people. It seems that he has a lot of resentment towards your Houfu. Who did you offend?"

Han Ling racked his brains and thought for a long time: "No."

"Is there any unusual movement in the house recently?"

"Neither."

The two asked one by one and answered one by one, and they had already begun to analyze the case.

"Perhaps there is another possibility that this arm was not put here by the murderer." Yan Mu interrupted them.

The rest of the people looked at Yan Mu one after another, although they really wanted to show him face, but this possibility is really unlikely.

Xue Changfeng sneered: "Your Highness, you don't think it's a bit funny to say this. If the murderer didn't put this severed arm here, who else could it be? What is his purpose?"

What is the purpose?
Yan Mu looked at Liu Yunxiang, who was also puzzled.

On the night of Hongzhu's murder, there was only one murder case in the capital, but was a little maid worth Qin Fei's trouble to let Hongzhu kill her?So at that time, they didn't connect the two things together, but now it seems that the Ding'an Hou Mansion is involved, and it seems to have this value.

Qin Feishi's goal may be the Dingyuanhou Mansion.

But the maidservant died of torture, the murderer should be a man, Hong Zhu is not so perverted, so is there such a possibility.

"There are two murderers!" Liu Yunxiang said.
