Chapter 143: Drowning first and then discarding the body
"Oh, Ruyue married into the Marquis' Mansion and doesn't take us, the second-rank families, seriously!" The woman who was greeting Jiang Xinkui was married to Wen's father's immediate superior.
She glanced at Wen Ruyue and sneered.
Jiang Xinkui was worried that it would affect her husband's future, so she poked her immediately.
Wen Ruyue rolled her eyes in her heart.
You are just a second-rank official, why are you acting so arrogantly here?
After today, I will be the benefactor of the King of Thailand.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Concubine Lan will definitely rely on me when she receives the incense I offer her.
By then, the two people that Emperor Dayong favored the most would regard him as a noble.
I will become the most honorable lady in the whole capital.
Even if the woman in front of him wanted to curry favor with him, he would not give her a chance.
Wen Ruyue responded perfunctorily with a few words, turned around and left.
She has to go save King Sun of Thailand, so how can she have time to care about her!
Mrs. Guan was so angry that Wen Ruyue didn't take her seriously that she started to dislike Jiang Xinkui and Wen's father as well.
Jiang Xinkui quickly apologized, fearing that the other party would make things difficult for Wen's father in the officialdom.
Wen Ruyue walked all the way to the back garden.
However, many guests were admiring the lotus on the other side of the artificial lake.
There are very few guests coming here.
Wen Ruyue avoided the crowd and headed straight for the rockery.
She first stopped at the rockery for a while, and then walked forward along the path by the lake.
She stopped by a willow tree.
She later heard from the officials that King Tai's grandson fell into the water here.
Just hide nearby, wait for King Tai's grandson to fall into the water, and then jump into the lake to rescue him.
For today, she practiced swimming hard at home for two days.
Wen Ruyue felt very proud.
She estimated that the time was about right, so she lifted her skirt and walked towards a strange rock in the flowers.
This strange rock is huge and can hide her body very well.
However.
As she walked over, she felt a flash before her eyes, and a piece of cloth covered her head, blocking her vision.
She was about to scream and struggle, but she felt a pain in the back of her neck, her eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness.
Meng Chifei dragged Wen Ruyue behind the strange rock.
The more she looked at it, the angrier she became.
It was this piece of junk that not only snatched away Yanyan's marriage, but also snatched away Yanyan's Miaobizhai, and slandered Yanyan everywhere.
Meng Chifei clenched his fists and endured it again and again before he refrained from smashing her head.
However, we can't let her go easily.
Meng Chifei pressed several acupuncture points on her body.
After Wen Ruyue woke up, she was in pain for ten days to half a month.
As time goes by little by little.
The sound of gongs and drums signaling the start of a performance rang out in the front yard.
Those who were admiring the lotus in the back garden also made an appointment to walk forward.
The back garden, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet.
Wen Yan also immediately became alert.
His eyes scanned the lakeshore without blinking.
suddenly.
"Ah..." It sounded like a scream and then stopped abruptly.
Wen Yan pricked up her ears and listened again, but there was nothing.
She turned her attention back to the lake.
"Woo woo..." It seemed like someone was struggling, accompanied by the sound of splashing water.
This time Wen Yan heard it clearly.
The sound came from the small courtyard behind.
Wen Yan suddenly felt uneasy. She stood up and ran downstairs. At the same time, she took out the whistle hanging on her chest and blew a few rhythms, like the sound of a bird.
Wen Yan followed the source of the sound.
The further she ran, the more anxious she became.
Although she no longer heard any cries for help, she could hear the faint sound of water, as if someone was splashing on the surface.
Until she passed an old, mottled little door.
A woman's furious voice came from inside the door: "You little bastard may be young, but you're quite strong. You scratched my hand and made it bleed.
You guys hold him down for me.
Don't feel compassion at this time.
If he doesn't die, you will die."
There is indeed something different here.
She saw a crack on the old wooden door, so she lay on it and looked inside.
I saw two young men and two strong women holding a bedding roll and pushing one end into a large water vat.
Opposite them, there was a woman dressed in gold and silver, baring her teeth and blowing on her wrist.
The bedding roll twisted from time to time, and it was obvious that there was a person wrapped inside, a person of short stature.
It's obvious.
They wanted to drown the person in the quilt in a water tank.
Suddenly, several key words flashed through Wen Yan's mind.
He was not tall and drowned.
A gleam of light flashed in Wen Yan's eyes.
She figured it all out.
These people drowned the Thai king's grandson and then threw him into the lake to create the illusion of drowning.
The reason for wrapping him in a quilt was to prevent signs of resistance from being left on his skin during the killing process, which could be easily detected by the coroner during the autopsy.
Seeing that the arc of the quilt roll was getting smaller and smaller as he struggled, Wen Yan was shocked.
I'm afraid King Sun of Thailand can't hold on any longer.
Wen Yan didn't think twice and was about to blow the whistle to call Meng Chifei while rushing in to delay time.
However, before she put the whistle into her mouth,
A faint voice came from behind: "Girl, what are you looking at!"
"!!" Wen Yan was shocked and turned around suddenly.
I saw a middle-aged man standing behind her with a gloomy face.
“Nothing… nothing! Ah…”
The other party didn't give Wen Yan any chance and pushed her into the yard.
Everyone in the yard was startled and turned around to look.
The middle-aged man glared at the people in the yard and said, "Look at what you have done. You have no vigilance at all and you didn't even realize you were discovered.
If I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been beaten to death!"
After saying that, he closed the door behind him and winked at the four people carrying the bedding rolls: "Hold her down.
Don't let her get out and attract flies."
Wen Yan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She was in a panic and clasped her hands together and begged, "No, please let me go. I'm very tight-lipped. I promise I won't tell anything."
"Only the mouths of the dead speak nonsense."
"Look at my face. My name is Wen Yan. I am the daughter of Lord Wen, the Minister of Rites. If you dare to hurt me, I promise that the Wen family will not forgive you."
"So much nonsense!"
At the other party's command, the three of them pounced on Wen Yan together.
Wen Yan was so scared that her legs were shaking.
Just as the three men got close, Wen Yan kicked sideways and threw the shawl off his shoulders.
The scarf immediately wrapped around one person's neck.
Wen Yan grabbed the rope tightly to gain leverage and kicked the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man quickly crossed his hands to block, but was still kicked back two steps.
The middle-aged man's eyes showed shock: "You actually know martial arts!"
Wen Yan took advantage of his shock,
The person with the scarf around his neck was thrown towards the water tank.
The man was already dizzy from being strangled, and he staggered and fell towards the water tank, knocking away the two people holding the bedding roll.
The bedding was completely stuck in the water tank and did not move.
Is there no breath left?
Wen Yan was horrified.
While holding the whistle in his mouth and blowing it,
While running to the water tank, he dragged out the bedding roll.
The whistle made a sharp, piercing sound.
The woman playing the flute suddenly attacked.
She used the long hairpin in her hand to pierce Wen Yan's back of the hand.
Wen Yan's body trembled in pain, his face turned pale instantly, and his fingers suddenly became weak.
The bedding roll that had just been pulled out sank again.
