After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

It is said that every family has servants who die inexplicably, but these are all family matters. When they encounter officials from the Ministry of Justice, even if a servant has been indentured to sell his body and has lost his life, if they are caught by officials from the Ministry of Justice, they must explain clearly and pay a certain amount of silver to the servant's family. This is the law of Daqing.

It was obviously a good day for the Marquis's wife to celebrate her birthday, but unexpectedly, such a disturbing thing happened.

It's really unlucky.

The Marquis' wife was helpless and quickly signaled for her servants to invite the Marquis of Wuyang.

Before the maidservant could even walk out of the courtyard, she saw the broken door of the courtyard being pushed open and a group of people coming in from outside.

"Didn't they say they found a corpse? Where is it?"

The first person who came in, with eyes shining and a face full of excitement, was none other than the Minister of Justice, Lord Jiang.

Following him in were Lord Qin, the Prefect of Jingzhao, Lord Cao, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and then the dark face of Marquis Wuyang and the handsome face of Cui Xuan, which was obviously a little pale.

Ye Qingyu looked at the people who came one after another. She secretly exchanged glances with Lord Cao and continued to pat Ye Qingya's back to comfort her.

Hearing Lord Jiang's voice, Ye Yanzhi popped his head out of the well, "Lord, I'm here."

Lord Jiang's face was flushed red, and it was obvious that he had drunk quite a bit of wine. He was very excited. "Come on, ladies, make way. I will go down and take a look."

Marquis Wuyang hurriedly pulled him back, smiling apologetically, "Master Jiang, even if one of the servants in the mansion jumped into the well, it's not a big deal. Let's go back and continue drinking."

Lord Jiang looked at Marquis Wuyang with disapproval, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Even if it's a servant in your house, it's a human life. As long as there is a murder case, it will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice!"

Marquis Wuyang wore a flattering smile on his face, "Master Jiang, there's no need for you to intervene in such a trivial matter. You can just wait for Mr. Ye outside."

After Marquis Wuyang finished speaking, Ye Yanzhi suddenly came out of the well with a very solemn expression.

"Sir, please send someone back to the Ministry of Justice to call for help. There is more than one corpse in this well!"

Ye Yanzhi didn't have any convenient tools, so he just took a stick and took a quick look.

The soil in the well is loose, unlike the original soil in the well. It looks like someone filled it in intentionally, and the well is a bit too shallow, which is a problem.

Upon hearing this, Lord Jiang sobered up and looked serious. "Come here, go to the Ministry of Justice and get someone."

Lord Cao suddenly spoke up, "I did bring a few subordinates with me. Why don't we have them come over and dig and see what's going on?"

Lord Jiang nodded and said to Marquis Wuyang, "Please find some tools that are handy."

Marquis Wuyang said in panic, "Sir, there's really no need to do this. Every family has a few deceased servants, including those who have been indentured. There's really no need to mobilize so many officials from the Ministry of Justice. We can just dig up the bodies and bury them ourselves."

Cui Xuan smiled gently and sighed sincerely, "Master Jiang, this courtyard has been deserted for many years. Some servants, desperate to escape death, have even committed suicide by jumping into the well. Two servants disappeared a few years ago, and my mother searched for them for a long time. Is that right, mother?"

The Marquis's wife was startled, but quickly reacted and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, three years ago, two servants were missing from the mansion. These two should be them."

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly as she watched the family perform.

Ye Yanzhi didn't give them the face to expose his true intentions. He said coldly, "The bones in this well are definitely not the two people that Madam mentioned. The bones here are the bones of a child!"

The Marquis' wife was frightened and wanted to say something, but her mind was a mess. She looked at Cui Xuan in panic.

Cui Xuan's face turned even paler, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Lord Cao's men had arrived.

Seeing the Wuyang Marquis and his family trying to evade the issue, Lord Jiang's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "Please find some handy tools and follow me down the well."

He turned to the Marquis of Wuyang and said, "My Lord, this is a murder case. The Ministry of Justice is investigating and must not be disturbed. Everything should be done after the body is exhumed."

Lord Jiang was determined to handle the case, and this matter was known to so many people at the scene, even the prefect of Jingzhao was there. Even if they didn't want to, they couldn't stop it.

I watched as the Jinyiwei got some tools like hoes and shovels from somewhere and went down into the well.

The well was so narrow that only two grown men could turn around, so Lord Jiang had no choice but to stand by the well and give orders.

As the soil from the well was thrown out, a foul smell of decay spread in the air.

Some ladies had never seen such a scene before and even felt nauseous and couldn't help retching.

Not long after, the first corpse was dug out. The small, pale bones exuded a chilling chill under the dazzling midday sun.

One look at the skeleton, it's that of a child who hasn't grown up yet!

Everyone shuddered unconsciously, and their eyes changed when they looked at Wuyang Hou's family.

There are so many dirty things happening in the Marquis of Wuyang's mansion.

Suddenly, a stronger and more unpleasant smell of decay emanated. The bones that were dug out had not yet completely rotted away. On the small corpse with rotten flesh, the rotten flesh and tattered gorgeous brocade clothes were sent out together.

"vomit!"

"My God!"

These ladies and young ladies had never seen such a rotten corpse before. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and many of them vomited out of disgust.

Pei Xuqing covered Xiaoqi's eyes early on, his slender hands trembling, and his beautiful face was pale without a trace of blood.

Ye Qingyu said sympathetically, "Second Aunt, Madam Pei, please take Xiaoqi, Sister Pei, and Qingya out."

The two ladies then realized that they could leave. Madam Pei took Xiao Qi and Pei Xuqing away. Madam Wu wanted to take Ye Qingya away, but Ye Qingya refused.

"Mother, please go out with Madam Pei. I'll stay with my elder sister."

Mrs. Wu looked at her always timid daughter in surprise, "Ya'er, you, you're not afraid?"

Ye Qingya bit her lips fiercely, suppressing the fear in her heart. "I, I want to accompany Big Sister. Besides, after all, I discovered it. I want to see it clearly."

Shen Junchen on the side looked at her with both heartache and admiration, his eyes full of pity.

Ye Qingyu's calm and gentle voice carried a soothing force, "Don't worry, Second Aunt, my brother and I are here, Qingya will be fine."

Seeing her daughter's determined expression, Mrs. Wu had no choice but to agree. She really couldn't bear to see this.

Those who couldn't stand the scene and were scared left one after another, some were fearless and stayed to watch the fun, and some knew about it and came to watch the fun.

Seeing more and more people gathering, Marquis Wuyang's face looked uglier than the ash at the bottom of a pot. Although Cui Xuan's face was still pale, his expression had calmed down.
