pungent peasant girl

Chapter 472
"The most strange thing is that the death time of you, Appearance, and those two guards is too coincidental. Moreover, with the current level of work, we can only look at the approximate time of death of the deceased, and we can't be sure."

"That's it."

"Furthermore, Qin Wu came back just now, and went outside with Qiying to see several doctors."

"How to say?"

"Several doctors asked Qiying if she had taken some sleep-helping medicine to cause this." Meng Qianyan said, tilting her head, "Ziyan, tell me, is this too suspicious. "

Luo Ziyan nodded, "Qiying herself would not use these medicines."

"That's why Qiying also feels that someone has drugged him."

"Then it means that there are eyeliners placed by other people in our mansion."

"I think so too, and you said that the two daggers also disappeared inexplicably. They have been kept in the warehouse, and the key to the warehouse is with me and the housekeeper. How could the daggers disappear?"

"Then what do you think?"

"Now, I have sent our cronies from Yan Dynasty to secretly monitor the Prince's Mansion and the kitchen."

"Very good, well done."

Meng Qianyan looked at Luo Ziyan, "What about you? What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to let Qiying and Qin Wu lead people to secretly monitor the families of the two deceased. They died outside, not in the palace, or something can be found on their family members."

"That's right, when the two of them come back later, you let them do it."

Not long after, Qin Wu and Qiying also came back.

After Qiying took some more medicine, she was almost better.

Luo Ziyan made arrangements to monitor the families of the two families.

Qiying and Qin Wu immediately went to do it.

In the dead of night, a night of tenderness.

The next day, Luo Ziyan got up early as usual and went to the morning court, while Meng Qianyan got up a little later, not much different from the days in Yan Dynasty.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Meng Qianyan crawled out of the bed, she had already woken up a long time ago, but it was too cold outside, so she didn't want to get up.

"what happened?"

She opened the door, and there was a maid standing outside.

"Prince and concubine, there are people making trouble outside, and the housekeeper can't control it anymore, so I asked my servant to call you."

"make trouble?"

"Yes, a few old people."

Meng Qianyan was confused, when did she offend the old man?
Without further ado, she quickly put on her clothes and came to the gate of the prince's mansion.

It was just dawn.

Usually, there are very few pedestrians on the street at this time.

But this time it was different, there were lively people gathered around the gate outside the gate.

Among them, there were three old people in the front, and the three of them were all naked, weeping and kneeling in front of the gate.

"You guys go back first, my highness is going to court now, no matter what happens, can we wait until your highness comes back to talk about it." The housekeeper persuaded, but the three people didn't listen at all, just knelt and cried.

Meng Qianyan frowned, pulled up the housekeeper, "Who are they?"

"Hey, princess, the case the night before yesterday became a big deal, and many people know about it. These old people are Zhao Dakang's old mother and Lu Guo's parents. They all thought it was His Royal Highness who killed them family, so this trouble has come to the Prince's Mansion, and I have to ask for an explanation."

It turned out to be like this? !

Meng Qianyan was stunned.

Didn't they know about the murder of the deceased yesterday?
Why did you come over to make trouble this morning?
As the sun gradually rose, the sky became brighter and brighter, and there were more and more people surrounding it. Unexpectedly, the gate of the Prince's Mansion was completely surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

In the chaos, you can say anything.

"Oh, these old people are really pitiful. They were young men and guards in the palace, so they were killed just like that."

"Who killed that?"

"Hey, haven't you understood yet, His Highness the Fourth Highness killed him, so this came to the door."

"Oh, this old man is so courageous. The people's lives are like ants. They dare to come to the door. They are not afraid of the Fourth Highness—"

"Shh, stop talking nonsense, in case—"

Listening to these random discussions, Meng Qianyan's head became dizzy.

She now very much suspects that someone did it intentionally, deliberately inducing the old people to come here to make trouble, and also deliberately letting people spread rumors.

So, she cleared her throat, "Ahem, everyone, stop talking nonsense, I am the concubine of the fourth prince's mansion, everyone, listen to what I say first."

She stood on the high threshold and said.

Everyone present looked at her.

"Everyone, I know. You already know that the case of the murder of a palace guard happened the night before yesterday. At that time, our Fourth Highness was also present, so some people suspected that this person was killed by the Fourth Highness."

"Isn't it? We all know that only His Royal Highness was there at that time, and no one else was there at all." An old woman cried and wiped her tears, "We know that our family is just ordinary people, not comparable to imperial power and nobles. But, we What did the child of the family do wrong and need to kill him? We came here for nothing but to give us an explanation."

"Yes, we need an explanation, why did we kill our child." The old man also said.

"No, listen to me, it's not the Fourth Highness who killed the man."

"Who is that?" the old man asked again.

"This, we don't know for the time being." Meng Qianyan replied honestly, "But His Royal Highness is already investigating, and I think I will give you an explanation soon."

"Give me an explanation? Will it really be a true explanation? I'm afraid you are going to find a scapegoat to replace the crimes of the Fourth Highness?!" The old man said angrily: "Since ancient times, killing has paid for life. Can you kill someone casually?"

"The Fourth Highness really didn't kill anyone." Meng Qianyan was also irritable, what happened to these old people?Why do you insist on thinking that people were killed by Ziyan?

It's like being brainwashed!
brainwashing? !
Meng Qianyan was also frightened when he thought of this word.

I don't know who saw these old people after Ziyan came home yesterday?
Perhaps, Qin Wu and Qiying should be asked.

But now, surrounded by three layers of people outside, it is impossible to go out.

Meng Qianyan said again: "Old man, our Fourth Highness really didn't kill anyone."

"No, how do you prove no?"

"Then, how do you prove it?" Meng Qianyan said: "No matter what you think, it's just an inference. We'd better not get excited now, and wait to use evidence to explain everything."

The three old men fell into silence.

Meng Qianyan became patient and squatted in front of the three old people, "Old people, don't get too excited. Think about it calmly, if the Fourth Highness really killed the person, then why did the Fourth Highness come to investigate? Is there no 300 taels of silver here? And if we really want to hide the truth, we won’t let the Fourth Highness show his face to see you again. We can completely throw away the dead body and put up any reason to prevaricate you. You don’t know love."
