However, this servant girl shouted injustice all the time: "My lord, this servant girl really didn't have sex with others, this servant girl is innocent."

"You are pregnant with Liujia, and you still dare to call for injustice, and you don't know what is good or bad." Yan Yanglie said: "Come here, break the belly of this king."

"My lord, don't, my lord's slaves are really wronged, my lord—"

Hearing the maidservant's screams, Yang Zhi couldn't bear to look directly at her, so she asked, "My lord, torture may be counterproductive..."

Yan Yanglie interrupted: "Could it be that you want me to follow your principles of dealing with affairs, to be sympathetic and sympathetic to jade?"

"Uh, I don't dare. I just feel that there is something hidden in it." Yang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask me to ask myself?"

Yang Zhi is indecisive and indecisive, his heart is not cruel enough, he does not have great wisdom, but he has a little cleverness, he has served him around since he was a child, he is loyal, he is the only person in the family he can trust.

Yan Yanglie was also tired, he waved his hands, followed others, and sat in a clean place to drink tea.

After stopping the execution, Yang Zhi walked up to a pair of maidservants who were about to die, and hurriedly asked, "Your name is Chunxiang?"

Hearing this, Yan Yanglie took a sip of tea and almost spit it out. Yang Zhi, this boy, is he going to play brother and sister confession or confidante meeting with him?

Chunxiang nodded, it was already difficult to speak.

"Actually, the prince is not a cruel person by nature. As long as you answer truthfully, I will intercede with the prince for you and let you live."

Chunxiang shook her head, with tears in her eyes: "Sir, this servant is really wronged... This servant is only 15 years old, and I don't know anything about love at all... I didn't know that I was pregnant at the beginning, and this servant did not..."

"Miss Chunxiang, you are still young, don't be stupid for someone who is not worth it."

Miss Chunxiang?For the first time, Yan Yanglie felt that Yang Zhi had the potential to visit the garden.

"My lord, I really don't have any slaves..."

still none.Yang Zhi stroked her chin and asked thoughtfully, "Then before you got pregnant, did you meet anyone or anything unusual?"

Chunxiang said with tears in her eyes, "Chunxiang has no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters since childhood..."

"Stop. Then what, pick the key point." Yang Zhi said helplessly.

Chunxiang said again with tears in her eyes, "...if there is anything unusual, it's just that night."

There was a pause at this point, and then continued: "About six months ago, the servants and other sisters planned to go back to the house to rest after making rounds with lanterns that night. But as a gesture of respect, Dun broke up with the sisters to go to the toilet. Unexpectedly, when it was dark on the way, the servant girl fainted. After waking up, she found herself lying on the bed the next day. The servant girl thought that she might be too tired at that time, and didn't care much about the anemia. It was probably because she was carried by other sisters. Those who went back to the house just let it go. Later, the slaves suddenly liked to eat sour food, and their stomachs became bigger and bigger..."

"Well, that's enough." Yang Zhi realized something, turned around and walked in front of Yan Yanglie, leaned closer and said, "My lord, something is wrong."

"Tell me."

Yang Zhi roughly said the main point, Yan Yanglie also frowned, and suddenly said: "Yang Zhi, do you want to become an official in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Yang Zhi obviously didn't react, then she paused, and said firmly: "Thanks to the great love of the prince, I am willing to do the work of a dog and horse for the prince alone."

Yan Yanglie responded appreciatively: "Very good."

Yang Zhi said: "Then, my lord, do you want a retrial?"

"No need." Yan Yanglie put down his teacup and said in a deep voice, "Send someone down to investigate right away, and ask them one by one."

"Yes, I obey."

The next day, Ye Huaiqing knocked on the door of Yan Yanglie's study early in the morning when he learned that the prince was returning to his residence.

The guard outside the door blocked the way: "Third Young Master, please stay."

Ye Huaiqing imitated the etiquette of the ancients, cupped his hands and said: "I also ask this elder brother to inform the prince."

The guard couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly said: "Third Young Master, you are polite, I will report to you in this humble position."

"Thank you."

Inside, Yan Yanglie nodded: "Biography."

When Ye Huaiqing bit the bullet and saw Yan Yanglie, he saw that Yan Yanglie was concentrating on the memorial and didn't raise his eyelids until he closed the door.

He cleared his throat and said, "Huaiqing sees the prince."

"Say."

Good boy, you are really concise and to the point, as if you have expected it.

Ye Huaiqing squeezed her fingertips, and said patiently: "My lord, regarding the murder of a female corpse, Huaiqing asks my lord to send someone out of the mansion to recruit some servants into the mansion."

"Yeah." Yan Yanglie frowned, but still didn't raise his eyes.

"My lord." Ye Huaiqing raised his eyebrows, and said: "Then Huaiqing should act according to the lord's instructions, and leave first."

"Wait." Yan Yanglie put down the memorial and looked at him coldly, which was within his expectation.

He said again: "You haven't told me how many people you want to recruit."

"Not many, just recruit maidservants, replace the original maidservants in the mansion." He said without looking sideways: "But Huaiqing has something to do, I hope the prince will not execute them."

"Is this what you mean by the method?" Yan Yanglie said disdainfully: "This method has already been used by the king."

"No." Ye Huaiqing shook his index finger: "Everyone has a love for beauty, but this time, Huaiqing requires most of the newly recruited maidservants to be extremely ugly, leaving only four countries beautiful and heavenly, and it is best to have some martial arts for self-defense. .”

If it hadn't just happened to be heard yesterday that the prince's confidants were interrogating the maidservant in the whole house, it would not have been the turn of the beauties.

Yan Yanglie narrowed his eyes meaningfully, signaling to continue.

"And these four maidservants must be people the prince can trust." Ye Huaiqing said: "Also, this time recruiting, each maidservant needs to be seen by the prince himself, and even the steward is not allowed to participate in this matter."

Hmph, I can't see you being ugly.

The more I talked about it, the more I felt that this recruitment would be very hot-eyed. Yan Yanglie crossed his chest and said in a deep voice: "What about after that?"

Ye Huaiqing spit out a word slowly: "Wait."

Yan Yanglie: "..."

"My lord, please believe in Huai Qing. As for how to arrange it, Huai Qing has an idea in mind. I just want my lord to choose the four cronies personally."

After Ye Huaiqing went out with a sinister smile, Yan Yanglie called Yu Yue, the head of shadows in the mansion.

Wearing a black leather windbreaker, Yu Yue knelt down on one knee: "Yu Yue has seen the prince."

Yan Yanglie knocked on the table with his fingers, and said indifferently: "At that time, the palace will recruit new people. According to my king's intention, you will let Wufeng, Nongyue, Liangchen, and Meijing participate in it, and you must not disclose their whereabouts. The third son is investigating the case. If there is an accident, it is purely accidental, understand?"

What does it mean if there is an accident, it is purely an accident?Yu Yue was a little confused, so she asked: "My lord, don't you need to participate with me?"

"If something happens to you, who will this king ask to collect the corpse?"

Looking at Yan Yanglie's calm eyes, Yu Yue showed a faint smile under the mask: "Yes, I understand."

In fact, Yan Yanglie only meant it literally, he didn't want the shadow that he had cultivated so hard to do things for him with a big belly, that would be bad.

Therefore, the girl was deeply misunderstood.

Because it is more difficult to choose an ugly girl than a beautiful girl, this recruitment lasted for half a month. Fortunately, all the wells in the mansion were sealed and no female corpses were found. The prince was also very patient with this recruitment. The incomparable maid, even though her complexion was so livid that it was hard to describe, she couldn't bear the tendency of causing chaos and conspiracy, and she seemed to be looking forward to the murderer being a friend who didn't know how to live or die. This made Ye Huaiqing not only happy, but also a little elated.

When the long recruiting process ended, and after a month, Ye Huaiqing let the maidservants who were sent out at night make rounds in shifts, while the guards on standby in the mansion hid in the dark, waiting for the female steward to cast herself into the trap and catch the fisherman.

Sitting on the sidelines and waiting for a rabbit and also a beauty trick, it lasted for two months without any movement.It seems that Ye Huaiqing's behavior is not to catch the murderer but to avoid the murderer.Because the recruited ugly girl was really out of sight, so the perpetrator couldn't do anything for a while.

A few days later, just as Ye Huaiqing was about to consider retaliation, that night, there was finally a sign of trouble.

However, the target of the perpetrator changed a lot.

Ye Huaiqing didn't expect that the murderer had his mind on him.

That night, the room was so hot that Ye Huaiqing couldn't sleep, so he went out for a walk with his collar wide open, without disturbing Hongyun.

In ancient times, there was no electric fan or air conditioner, so it was too hot to live. Ye Huaiqing headed towards Taiju Lake.In desperation, he turned around and found no one. Anyway, no one could see clearly in the middle of the night, and he was a man, so he took off his shirt and wandered around the Taiju Lake shirtless.

After blowing outside for more than half an hour, it gradually became a little cooler, and he also fell asleep. He yawned, regardless of how vicious the mosquitoes were, and dozed off under a gazebo without saying a word.

In his sleep, there were faint footsteps of people walking, but he didn't pay attention to it. When he smacked his lips and opened a slit in his eyes, he suddenly found a masked man in black standing in front of him. The next click.

Could it be that this old and unscrupulous person is the perpetrator, knowing that he is quietly investigating the case, so he came here to kill people?

However, things are not what he thought.

The man in black sized him up for a while, and unexpectedly, a pair of callused old hands touched his chest.Probably the sky was too dark, and the man in black had presbyopia, so he couldn't tell whether he was awake or not, so he assumed he was asleep and started to act recklessly.

When the hand of the man in black touched his lower abdomen, he felt the feeling of goosebumps falling all over the ground and scalp numbness, and he felt it very clearly. He couldn't hold it back immediately, and pretended to be bitten by a mosquito and slapped it on his lower abdomen. hands, still muttering in sleep.

Fuck you.

The man in black was obviously taken aback by him, and was caught off guard and withdrew his hand.I thought he was awake, but when I slapped him to greet him, I found that his eyes were still closed and he didn't make any extra movements, obviously he was not awake.

At that time, he also heard the man in black let out a sigh of relief, and then let out a lewd smile under the mask.That voice, slightly old, sounded a little familiar.

"Who?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, it was Yan Yanglie's resonant voice, he opened his eyes suddenly, the man in black jumped away in an instant, and disappeared in front of him, hidden in the willow forest, but was not caught by Yan Yang. Yang Lie found out.
