The voice came from the Ruan family. Something had indeed happened to the Ruan family. To be exact, something had happened to Ruan Fangfei.
It was said that Miss Ruan was feeling unwell due to the extreme heat. She didn't sleep well last night and took a nap in the carriage. It was also said that she didn't like to have people by her side when she was sleeping.
In her deep sleep, she felt something strange and thought that it was a servant girl who came to see her. She casually asked but didn't get any answer. Thus, she opened her eyes in displeasure and then … Ah!
What she saw was three hanging bloody heads. Her hair was disheveled and her entire face was like that of her servant girl on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. Other than the eyes, there wasn't a single place that was intact. Even the eyelids were cut off and the eyeballs were protruding. Not to mention that she saw it the moment she opened her eyes in a small space, even if it was at other times, even if someone described the specific situation and was mentally prepared, it was very likely that she would be frightened when she saw it again.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Ruan Fangfei was looking for abuse. She ran to see the dead servant girl and was severely frightened. Later, she was injured and her face was injured. In the first few days, she even had a mental breakdown. When she finally got better, she was ruthlessly provoked by Li Hongyuan. Then, rumors flew everywhere. Unknowingly, it made the Ruan family have opinions about her. Naturally, she didn't have a good day.
Ruan Fangfei broke down and screamed in the carriage. Because the heads were hanging low and close to her, there was clearly a certain distance between them, but she couldn't pass through and leave this extremely terrifying place. She shivered and curled up into a ball. That appearance was as pitiful as it could be …
Her screams naturally attracted the people of the Ruan family. They hurriedly climbed into the carriage and opened the curtain. In the end, the servant girl also screamed and scrambled back. Then, she fell out of the carriage in an unusually sorry state.
The people behind also vaguely saw the situation inside. Who still dared to go up?
The other masters, led by Ruan Ruizhong, quickly rushed over and heard Ruan Fangfei's mournful and desperate screams. "What happened?" Ruan Ruizhong's face was as black as water. It seemed that since the Dragon Boat Festival, everything in the Ruan family was not going well and the root of it all revolved around Ruan Fangfei. No matter how stable and calm he was, he felt mentally and physically exhausted and it was difficult for him to smile.
"Master, human, human heads, in the carriage, in the carriage, there are three human heads hanging …"
Ruan Fangfei's mother, on the other hand, was the first to react. She rushed up and pulled open the curtains. Although she couldn't see the front of the heads, she was certain that they were human heads. Especially when they were dripping with blood. As for her daughter, she was tightly stuck to the innermost corner. At this moment, as a mother, her eyes turned red. Her face revealed a frightening viciousness. She took a deep breath and entered the carriage with a rather capable posture. With a wave of her hand, she pulled down the three heads and then reached out to hug Ruan Fangfei.
Ruan Fangfei was shocked and scared. She punched and kicked. Madame Ruan comforted her while holding her up.
However, when he stood up, his body paused for a moment, as if he had no strength to continue.
She carried her daughter out unsteadily. Just as she stepped out of the door, her legs went soft and she almost fell …
Ruan Ruizhong saw her face as pale as paper. Her body was clearly trembling, but she still held her daughter tightly. His eyes turned red and his heart ached. He hurried forward, wanting to personally carry her. However, he was already a pile of old bones. Not only did he not manage to catch her, his body tilted and he was directly pressed to the ground.
Only then did the others react. They rushed forward in a flurry. It was unknown if it was because they were so scared that their hands and feet went soft. After a long time, not only did they not manage to get her up, they even made a mess.
"What a motherly love. This woman is really good at pretending. If I didn't know her true face, I'm afraid I would have been deceived by her. "After watching the good show, he turned around and left.
It wasn't easy for them to settle down properly. Ruan Fangfei was a bit deranged. She was knocked unconscious. Her mother also fainted from shock. As for Ruan Ruizhong, his waist was injured.
This matter was naturally reported to Le Chengdi as soon as possible. Le Chengdi was still angry because of the assassination attempt on Li Hongyuan. Now that such a thing happened, how could he not be shocked? On one hand, he sent an imperial physician. On the other hand, he had Yu Zhongqing and the Minister of Justice go to the scene to investigate.
Everything close to the carriage was all moved away. No one dared to take a step closer. It was clearly a sunny day, but the lonely carriage gave people a strange and gloomy feeling.
Fortunately, the people who came were not ordinary. The curtains on the door and windows were hung up. The scene inside could be seen clearly. There were three heads scattered at the bottom of the carriage. Only one of them was facing upwards and could be seen clearly. At that moment, even people who were used to seeing corpses and limbs couldn't help but take a step back. They let out two turbid breaths before stepping forward.
The Minister of Justice gestured to one of his subordinates. That person nodded and walked closer. However, he didn't rush up. Instead, he carefully looked around, including the edges of the carriage. Then, he stood by the window and looked inside carefully. He frowned slightly. Then, he got into the carriage and checked the three heads without changing his expression. During this process, the Minister of Justice remained silent. Yu Zhongqing also stood quietly by his side.
When that person got down from the carriage, he said, "Sir, the person who did this did it very cleanly. Except for the inside of the carriage, there are no traces of blood. The three people, except for their eyes and ears, are unrecognizable. The openings are very neat. It can be seen that when they did this, they were very clean. In addition, their faces were scratched after they died. The blood should have been splashed later. It's not certain if it's human blood. " After a pause, he continued, "If I'm not wrong, the person who scratched the faces should be the same person who killed the female corpse on the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Is this true? But didn't you say that the female corpse was scratched when she was alive? There should be a big difference. How do you know? "
"Many people have their own little habits. The wounds are very similar."
The murderer for the Dragon Boat Festival incident was not found at all. Of course, that incident happened in the capital and was not under his jurisdiction. Logically speaking, today's incident should not be under his jurisdiction either. However, in this convoy, he was the only one who was in charge of criminal cases.
Because the murderer for the Dragon Boat Festival couldn't be found, naturally, no one knew the reason. Everyone guessed that the servant girl saw something shady. However, this speculation was still puzzling. If the murderer of the two cases was really the same person, or the same group of people, then the previous guess might be overturned. After all, the common point of the two cases seemed to be the youngest daughter of the first wife of the Grand Secretary. But, what was the reason?
"First, investigate the identities of these three people and see if they are from the convoy."
"Yes."
The three heads on the carriage had been taken down. Yu Zhongqing glanced at them. However, he inadvertently saw a small red mole on the earlobe of one of the heads. His eyes couldn't help but shrink. Because, in the previous assassination, there was one person who had such a mole — — the person whose head was cut off by Jin Qinwang. Yu Zhongqing didn't believe that this was a coincidence. Moreover, the face was covered in blood, only the ears were clean. If he remembered correctly, the ears of the female corpse on the Dragon Boat Festival were all cut off. Yu Zhongqing's hair was somewhat numb. He always felt that this was simply left for him to see.
Yu Zhongqing's hand that was holding the knife at his waist couldn't help but tighten.
After investigating, he quickly discovered that the Ruan family was missing three guards.
Yu Zhongqing's palm pressed against his forehead, his brows tightly knitted. If these three people were really from the Ruan family and really assassinated Jin Qinwang, no, it should be the three assassins of the Luo family's third young lady, and Jin Qinwang secretly sent them back and specifically targeted the Ruan family's young lady. Didn't this mean that Jin Qinwang knew the whole story from the beginning? The reason he did this, perhaps it could be seen as for the person he cared about. In fact, these could not be mentioned for the time being. The key point was that the guards of the Ruan family were actually stronger than the Imperial Guards and the Qinwang's guards. This was a big problem. It should be known that the guards of the general officials were only relatively strong ordinary people.
In addition, Jin Qinwang knew the identities of these three people but planted it on the rebel thieves. From the beginning, he cut off everyone's idea of finding the assassins in the convoy. He knew that there was a problem with the Ruan family but did not reveal it. Why was that?
And the reason why Yu Zhongqing thought that it was framing and not suspecting that the rebel thieves were in the Ruan family was because he was also present when the three assassins were searched. He even personally did it. There was clearly nothing.
Then, how could the people by Jin Qinwang's side have the rebel thieves' token? And carry it with them?
One question after another, it was also one secret after another. The more you know, the faster you will die, or … …
Yu Zhongqing thought of Jin Qinwang who was like a death god and had a splitting headache. He inadvertently knew some things and then was forced to know more. Even if Jin Qinwang wanted to win him over, wasn't his courage a bit too big? He didn't let him express his position at all and let him know even more things. Was he really not afraid that he would report it to the Emperor?
The red mole on the earlobe was considered a good sign. These three people were identified as people of the Ruan family.
As for where their corpses were? How did their heads end up on Ruan Fangfei's head? The first question was unsolvable. He sent people to the vicinity to search, but there was nothing. They also didn't see any place that resembled the crime scene. He just gave up like that. Who let them be just three servants? It was simply not worth the trouble. As for the second question, he asked a lot of people. There were three people who said that they were knocked unconscious and didn't see anything. The others didn't even see a ghost.
Yu Zhongqing looked at the forest in the distance. He clearly said that there were three assassins. Why didn't anyone connect the two? Why didn't anyone mention going there to take a look? In the end, it was only because they were three guards. Their lives were cheap. If they were replaced by three people of high status, he was afraid that they would have already gone to look for them.
Yu Zhongqing spat out a mouthful of turbid air. In the end, he didn't say anything. He also cherished his life. He was also selfish. He didn't live for himself alone.
It must be said that Old Madame Ruan was pretending to faint. When her people told her the details of the matter, she clenched her fists and her nails almost sunk into her flesh. Jin Qinwang? Was it also him on the Dragon Boat Festival? Fangfei had always been steady. How could she do such a thing this time? However, looking at her, in nearly a month's time, not only was her face disfigured, but she was also like a rat crossing the street. Being forced to do such a thing, there was no way to blame her.
However, there were some things that she didn't dare to confirm. If the person hidden in the dark was really Jin Qinwang, then this hidden enemy was much more terrifying than expected. She wasn't his opponent at all.
Jingwan looked fine on the surface, but after all, it was the first time she saw such a scene. She couldn't completely recover in a short time. After drinking the calming soup, she took advantage of the fact that they weren't on the road and slept for a while in the carriage. Gong mama and the wet nurse took turns fanning her. As for the several servant girls, Jingwan also let them drink the calming soup and sleep for a while. They slept well, but Old Madame Luo ordered not to disturb her, so they missed lunch. However, it didn't matter. She didn't have an appetite. After waking up, she just casually made some simple cushions.
A few of the servant girls woke up before her and looked to be in good spirits. In fact, they were mainly frightened by the terrifying aura on Li Hongyuan's body. When they saw the bloody scene, they immediately looked away. It didn't affect them much. After all, Li Hongyuan was a living person and didn't specifically target them. When his aura dissipated, it didn't leave them with a psychological shadow.
At this moment, they quickly prepared food for Jingwan.
Before going to bed, she applied some ointment on her lips. Originally, it was only a little red and swollen, but now it was basically invisible. When she ate it, she didn't feel strange. Jingwan ate half full and stopped eating.
The people around her all knew that it was hard for her to get carsick. If she ate too much, she would feel even worse, so they didn't persuade her to eat more.
Then, Jingwan noticed something wrong, "Look at the sun. The time for staying has already passed. Why haven't you left yet?"
"Something came up. We'll probably have to wait for another hour," Qing Zhu replied.
"What happened?" It didn't seem strange that she encountered an assassination when she was just taking a walk. Something happened when she woke up after sleeping. Jingwan lowered her head and drank a mouthful of the soup to relieve the heat. She didn't wait for their answer. She raised her head and saw that they all wanted to say something but stopped. She suddenly became curious, "What's wrong? Does it have something to do with me? "
"It has nothing to do with you. It's just that you were frightened earlier. Don't bother to listen to those dirty things." Nanny Gong came over and explained to Jingwan.
Jingwan's heart skipped a beat. She was scared because she saw the bloody scene, and also because she witnessed the scene of Li Hongyuan cold-blooded killing. It was just a normal thing. How could it affect her? It was most likely that she saw blood again, or someone died directly.
It was really quite unpeaceful along the way.
"Where is sister-in-law? Is she taking a nap?" Since Nanny Gong didn't want her to know, she didn't ask, lest she felt disgusted.
