Chapter 751： Sufferer

Long before Zhen Shicheng arrived, King Xiang repeatedly recalled the events of that night.

In the autumn of the nineteenth year of Jingming, Cui Mingyue killed Zhu Ziyu and escaped on the night of his wedding, and fell into the hands of the men he sent to stalk. As a result, the stupid men took the man back to the Prince of Xiang Mansion.

He had no choice but to kill and hide his body. At that time, he deliberately took all Cui Mingyue's clothes, shoes and socks, purse, jewelry and other things, leaving only a jacket before throwing it into the waste well.

But after so long, it is difficult to determine whether there was any omission at the beginning, even if I think about it repeatedly, my heart is still unavoidable.

It's all right now, and Zhen Shicheng's people really didn't notice anything.

Wang Xiang thought so, his face gradually became bloody.

What a corpse was found in the abandoned well of the palace, no one can prove that it was a homicide. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if it is really believed to be related to him, it would be a big deal for a dignified son to miss a handmaid, even if the father knew that he would be angry at most.

The king of Xiang pressed his thin lips lightly, becoming more calm.

"Not found?" Zhen Shicheng took a step forward, squatted down and looked at the bones on the ground, and even fiddled with the padded hands.

This action made the onlookers pale, and suppressed the nausea.

King Lu thought about the madness that fell into the well just now, and then looked at Zhen Shicheng's seriousness, and subconsciously looked at Yu Jin.

Master Zhen is so terrible, I don't know how Old Seven got here with him before.

Then I saw a face eager to try.

King Lu was dumbfounded, and silently looked away.

"Is there any discovery from Master Zhen?" Xiang Wang asked after he calmed down and turned passive to active.

If the surname Zhen didn't find out, then he could take the prince's arrogance and invite the person away.

Zhen Shicheng stood up straight, did not directly answer King Xiang's words, but asked: "Has any woman in the palace missing in the past three years?"

He knew it too well. If he said that he hadn't found it at this time, someone with a high status like King Xiang would immediately have reason to send him away.

Ignore questions that are not easy to answer, and ask the questions you want to be serious.

Wang Xiang really followed Zhen Shicheng's thoughts: "Little Wang doesn't know."

"Not sure?" Zhen Shicheng touched his beard.

He forgot to take care of his beard this morning, and it seemed to be knotted in one place.

"Master Zhen should know that Xiao Wang hasn't married yet, and all matters such as personnel deployment in the palace are all in charge of the supervisor..."

"If this is the case, please ask the Wangfu to come over." Zhen Shicheng said with a calm expression.

King Xiang was very cooperative, and immediately ordered the people around him to call the steward.

The young man ran out, and then moved away from the audience and got in. He was followed by a 40-year-old man with goatee, who was in charge of the Prince of Hunan.

Needless to say, the steward was originally standing in the crowd watching the excitement.

"The prince——" Guan Shi saluted the king of Xiang.

Facing the people in the palace, King Xiang's attitude was much colder and arrogant, and asked indifferently: "You heard what Master Zhen said, right?"

"The villain heard it."

"Then please answer Master Zhen's words well," Wang Xiang reminded meaningfully.

The steward was stunned and said hurriedly: "Please rest assured, Lord."

Xiang Wang turned to Zhen Shicheng and nodded slightly: "Master Zhen ask."

Zhen Shicheng took a look at the manager and asked the previous question.

The manager hesitated for a moment, and said: "There are many people in the palace. If you talk about the maidservant who has disappeared in the past three years, you can't make it clear for a while. The villain needs to check the roster."

Zhen Shicheng reminded with a beard: "It's not limited to maids."

"This--" Guan Gang couldn't help but glanced at King Xiang.

Xiang Wang said with a serious face: "Master Zhen, Xiao Wang only has four close girls. Besides that, the young women in the palace are all ordinary maidservants."

"So, there is no distinguished woman in the palace?"

King Xiang nodded.

"In this case, just report the missing woman."

The manager made a fuss and hurried to check the roster.

There was no result for a while, Zhen Shicheng instructed the servants to continue to go down to find clues and focus on Er Niu.

"I heard that King Lu came here because of General Xiaotian?"

King Lu rolled his eyes at hearing.

If he fell into the well, thank you Erniu?

Yu Jin replied on behalf of Erniu: "Not bad."

Zhen Shicheng walked in front of Er Niu, arched his hands, and said very politely: "So, please trouble General Xiaotian to help the officer look for it again."

He was so solemn and surprised everyone.

Master Zhen really thought Erniu had supernatural powers?

Zhen Shicheng didn't care about the incomprehension of the onlookers.

In his opinion, dogs have an advantage that no one does not have in investigating the case, and the help of Erniu can break the deadlock.

He already had doubts about the identity of the murderer, but he needed to tell the evidence.

"Er Niu, look for it." Yu Jin pointed to the bones on the ground.

Er Niu stood up and shook his hair, leaned forward and sniffed the bones on the ground, and began to sniff.

The king of Xiang couldn't leave the big dog, and wanted to eat Erniu's skin and cramp stew.

Without this dead dog, how could such a thing happen today! One day he will kill the dog.

When King Xiang felt cruel in his heart, there was a commotion. I don't know who shouted: "Look, Er Niu found something!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the big dog, and they saw Er Niu digging out an object from the side of the well and approaching Zhen Shicheng with a big mouth, and the object fell to the ground.

Under the sun, the falling object flashed light, and for a while, he couldn't see its true face.

Zhen Shicheng leaned over and picked it up with a handkerchief cushion, and everyone saw that it was a pearl stud.

King Xiang stared at the pearl earrings the size of rice grains, blankly for a moment.

He remembered pulling Cui Mingyue's earrings off during the aftermath. Did he remember it wrong?

Time has passed so long, such details have been difficult to determine.

Cold sweat came out of the palms of the hands, sticky and uncomfortable.

King Xiang secretly took a breath to get rid of the tension.

Don't panic, it's just a small ordinary pearl earring without the name engraved, who can recognize Cui Mingyue.

Zhen Shicheng looked at the earring carefully, and said nothing for a long time.

At this time, the steward hurried over and said: "The villain has found out. Only one young woman has disappeared from the palace in the past three years. It is an embroiderer named A Cai in the sewing room..."

"Uh, does Embroidery have parents and family?"

"Return to Sir, A Cai's parents are working in the palace."

Soon a pair of middle-aged men and women stood in front of Zhen Shicheng.

The man's eyes were reddish, while the woman was trembling. He glanced at the bones on the ground and rushed over, crying out, "Acai, my son, you died so miserably--"

Zhen Shicheng looked indifferent to this farce, and when the woman's cries became quieter, she asked calmly: "How does my sister-in-law recognize that this dry bone on the ground is a young lady?"

The woman's cry was stagnant, and she covered her mouth and said, "I have been missing for two years, young woman, who else can it be if it's not Acai?"
