After Jia Lerong finished speaking, the three men fell silent and did not speak. Jia Lerong's wife, who was sitting far away coaxing the children, did not speak either.
After a moment, she suddenly heard the sound of a chair. She looked up and saw her man and two uncles heading out.
She was going to collect the body of her mother-in-law. The woman coaxed the child softly. An inexplicable grievance and sadness came over her. She wiped the corners of her eyes and sighed.
The three brothers of the Jia family did not make a sound when they went out, and just walked to the small square in silence. When they met people on the road, seeing their expressions, those who wanted to say hello were choked up, so they just stepped out of the way and watched them pass.
When we arrived, the three corpses were still floating in the wind. The closer we got, the stronger the feeling of fear became.
After all, the person who was hanged alive looked really bad. The three of them endured the stench and felt uncomfortable, and worked together to remove the body that had become hard and heavy after death.
"Brother, look at it, let's go find someone to buy a thin coffin!" The third child was soft-spoken and soft-hearted, but when he saw Grandma Jia's death, he was the first to speak.
"Just go to the Zhang family coffin shop. After collecting the body, we can make it beautiful and bury it with great lavishness. It's too pretentious and others won't believe it. I'll just buy a medium-to-high-quality coffin."
Jia Lerong had read a book in those days and was very clear in his work. Both his younger brothers obeyed him and immediately agreed. They were soldiers in the government. They had eaten meat and exercised every day for the past six months and were very strong. They walked through the alley to the Zhang family coffin shop.
After saying hello, the two of them carried the coffin, which was not too heavy, into the small square without the need for a waiter to deliver it to the door.
At this time, Jia Lerong's wife also came. She felt that it would be bad to carry her home and change her clothes, so she temporarily set up a reed mat and changed her clothes inside.
This process took a lot of time, and there was no one to help. It was night after loading the body.
"Why is it raining again?" Everyone was very tired and their stomachs were growling. Seeing that the rain was not heavy and the strands were falling, they carried them home.
It was originally a very lively place, but this happened today. There was not even a single figure. After walking for a while, Jia Lerong wiped his sweat and saw a person leaning against a pavilion not far away. He took a closer look and found that this was not a new person.
Jiang Yi, Sheng’s deputy housekeeper?
Jiang Yi seemed to be looking at this, looking like he was watching the excitement, which made Jia Lerong feel angry.
There is usually no conflict between the two of them, but in this situation, just watching the excitement from the pavilion is really unreasonable and too arrogant!
Holding down the most grumpy third child, Jia Le tolerated his anger and went up to say hello. After all, the Jia family was in the spotlight now and it was not appropriate to make enemies.
"I've met Butler Jiang."
"Steward Jiang?"
Jiang Yi, on the other hand, remained motionless and silent. Looking at him like this, if you look carefully, you can even find that the other person didn't even blink... Wait!
Your eyes are motionless?
Jia Lerong took a sniff, and there was a fishy smell, like... the smell of blood.
"Steward Jiang?" Jia Lerong's mind trembled, and he took a step forward and gave him a gentle push.
Plop!
Jiang Yi, who was originally standing against the pavilion, was knocked down obliquely and fell to the ground, causing a lot of water stains. There was a ball of blood on his back that had spread. Someone was stabbing Jiang Yi with a murder weapon.
Is this a one-shot kill?
Jia Lerong's face turned pale, and with trembling hands he put his fingers under Jiang Yi's nose. He was already breathless!
Jiang Yi's eyes were wide open. He didn't know he was dead just now, and thought it was a look of superiority. Now he knew he was dead. Looking at it again, he felt that he was clearly dying with his eyes open!
"Brother!"
"This...is this someone dead again?"
The second Jia Lao and Jia Lao San were stunned and their bodies were shaking. Jia Lerong's wife's legs softened and she fell to the ground. She reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth tightly, not to cause any trouble to her husband.
"Look at the scene, I will report it to the prince immediately!" Jia Lerong's face turned pale, but he was greatly changed again and again. Although he was not panicking, he had already strode out of the pavilion and ordered: "Watch carefully, no one is allowed to touch.
I will report to the prince right away."
With that said, he immediately hurried towards the inner courtyard.
There were people in groups in the inner courtyard, talking in low voices. When these maids and women heard the footsteps, they looked up and saw Jia Lerong, and they were a little arrogant. A casual greeting was considered polite.
Others ignored her at all, thinking that the old lady of the Jia Lerong family almost killed the princess, and the Jia family felt a little awkward.
Jia Lerong had something on his mind at this time and had no time to pay attention to these changes in attitude. He hurriedly went inside. Suddenly his vision blurred. A fox came out of the house and ran towards the outside. In an instant, Jia Lerong saw the figure.
There is a pocket under the fox's neck, and the corner of a piece of paper is exposed from the pocket.
"Wait! The prince is inside, don't break in like this!" A woman stopped Jia Lerong and scolded him unhappily.
Jia Lerong felt anxious, so he pushed the woman away and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, something happened. Deputy housekeeper Jiang Yijiang is dead!"
In the room, Su Ziji was talking to the wild Taoist. The wild Taoist asked: "Was the letter written just now a little gentle?"
Su Ziji took a few steps and said: "Mr. Lu, if it is just right, it will make people believe it. If it is written too harshly, it will make people suspicious. King Lu's temperament will not be too explicit even if he is wronged."
"You've been working hard lately, so keep an eye on me."
"I understand." The wild Taoist responded. At this moment, he heard noise outside.
"Your Majesty, something happened! Deputy Butler Jiang Yijiang is dead!" Then someone shouted outside.
Su Ziji just frowned and hurriedly got up and went out.
"What did you say? Jiang Yi is dead?"
"Yes, I went to Zhang's coffin shop to buy a coffin to contain the body. She was unjust to my family, and I can't let her honor her name."
"This happened when I didn't want to come back."
When Jia Lerong saw Dai Wang, he immediately knelt down and hurriedly explained everything he had just encountered.
"Go and have a look." Su Ziji's face turned pale and he walked towards the small square.
When they arrived, they saw a group of people gathered around. Some were shocked. Jia Laoer and Jia Laosan shouted loudly, telling people to stay back and not to damage the scene.
"Oh my god! Who did it? He was killed with one knife? Who killed Deputy Butler Jiang? Didn't you really see the murderer?"
"You can actually kill people in the palace? Is there an assassin lurking in the palace?"
"I think it might be revenge...otherwise why only Deputy Steward Jiang was killed?"
Everyone was talking a lot until they heard "The prince has arrived——" and then they hurriedly made way for the king.
Dai Wang obviously came in a hurry. As soon as he walked in front of the crowd and looked at Jiang Yi, who was lying dead on the ground, his whole body was enveloped by low pressure, and his face suddenly darkened.
"To actually openly assassinate my newly promoted deputy steward is simply audacious and provoking my king!" King Dai was furious.
"Bo Yan!"
"exist!"
This young man who had also just been promoted came out of the crowd.
"Go and investigate and find out who the murderer is!"
Bo Yan was still a little uncomfortable, so he hesitated and responded: "Yes, I obey!"
