Chapter 250 Do you know?
"I can't guess what it is exactly, but the letter should contain what you want to know." Zhan Beiyuan said as he looked at the letter, otherwise Pei Lie would not have needed to write this letter.
He had already expressed his gratitude to her verbally, and it was impossible to express it in a letter.
"Let's read it together." Jiang Yunxi said and opened the letter. It was actually several pages long, which surprised her a little. However, the content of the letter was related to that woman, as she guessed.
Zhan Beiyuan moved closer to her, and the two of them read the letter together closely.
Although it is several pages long, it doesn't contain much content.
"Could this woman be a resurrected female corpse?" Zhan Beiyuan made a guess after reading it.
"It's very likely that Pei Lie met her three years ago when he went to the back mountain of Zhuangzi to look for medicinal herbs for Pei Heng. At that time, she had no memory and knew nothing." Jiang Yunxi said lightly.
Sometimes it really is fate.
Three years ago, Pei Lie went there to look for medicinal herbs for Pei Heng.
Two years later, Pei Lie went there to find that woman.
But he didn't expect Pei Heng to follow him quietly. That day was the most painful for him. He regretted going to find that woman. If he hadn't gone, Pei Heng would not have died.
Later, when Pei Heng's body had problems and needed to be replaced, he specifically targeted women with similar eyebrows, eyes, and facial features to that woman.
"But he didn't say where the woman is now." Zhan Beiyuan didn't expect that the clue to the female corpse was with Pei Lie.
"I think I've guessed who the female corpse is." Jiang Yunxi put the letter away and put it in the envelope.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her, "You know?"
Jiang Yunxi nodded and said, "Let's go to Pei's house first, and then we'll go find her."
"Who is it?" Zhan Beiyuan couldn't wait to know. Now that he had the Soul-Suppressing Coffin, he just wanted to get the Heavenly Dao Pearl, in case they still couldn't find a way to help Jiang Yunxi prolong her life before New Year's Eve.
At least the Soul-Calming Coffin and the Heavenly Dao Pearl can be used.
"You'll know later." Jiang Yunxi deliberately kept him in suspense and didn't tell him.
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
The two soon arrived at Pei's house.
Jiang Yunxi gave Pei Lie's letter to Old Tutor Pei, and told them that Pei Lie was dead. The emperor had given him a cup of poisoned wine, and his soul had gone to the underworld.
When Mr. and Mrs. Pei learned about this, they almost fainted, and then hugged each other and cried bitterly. Both of their sons were gone, and neither of them could see them for the last time.
Old Master Pei sat down with the letter in his hand, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably. Although he had long known that Pei Lie would not escape the death penalty, it was still difficult for him to accept the fact that this day had finally arrived.
Pei Lie and Pei Heng were both grandsons he admired and loved, but now they are all gone.
After sitting for a long time, Old Tutor Pei wiped his tears and took out the letter from the package with trembling hands. After reading it, he burst into tears and cried heart-wrenchingly.
Jiang Yunxi looked at this scene without any emotion or sympathy on her face. Although Old Tutor Pei, Master Pei and Madam Pei were innocent, what about the parents of the dead women?
They are innocent too.
Their pain was no less than theirs when they learned of their daughter's tragic death.
Every cause has its effect.
Pei Lie is their blood-related family member, so they will bear some of the consequences.
"Old Master Pei, Mr. Pei, Madam Pei, please accept my condolences. Please go to Jingzhao Prefecture and bring back Pei Lie's body for burial. Prince Han and I have something else to do, so we'll leave first." Jiang Yunxi said, turning around and walking outside.
Zhan Beiyuan followed.
After leaving Pei's house, the two got on the carriage.
"Qi Yan, go to the farm behind the charity cemetery." Jiang Yunxi said softly.
"Yes." Qi Yan immediately changed the direction of the carriage.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at Jiang Yunxi and asked, "Do you think that the old lady Liao who lives in the manor is a resurrected female corpse?"
Jiang Yunxi had a gentle smile on her face, "Smart."
"Why do you suspect it's her?" Zhan Beiyuan was really surprised. He had seen the other party several times. She looked like an old woman and there was nothing unusual about her. He remembered Meng Po said that the female corpse was a young woman.
"I found out from observation. At first, I didn't suspect that she was a female corpse. It was when we went to look for her with Meng Po that day that I thought she might be a female corpse." Jiang Yunxi said.
Then she explained why she suspected Mrs. Liao.
When she first met Mrs. Liao, she thought she was a little strange. The village was empty and life was inconvenient, but she still lived there alone.
Later it was learned that it was to help Pei Lie guard Pei Heng's body.
But how could she, an old lady from a village, know how to take care of a corpse and not be afraid at all?
The last time they went there with Meng Po, she was sitting in the yard sewing and mending. She also remembered that she was sitting in the yard doing needlework on another occasion. She didn't think much about it the first time.
But the next time I went there.
She saw that she was very skillful in threading the needle. Logically speaking, she was several decades older, and even if her hands and feet were nimble, her eyesight could not compare with that of young people. However, she was very accurate and steady.
She had some doubts at the time, but she was still not sure.
It was not until Pei Lie gave her this letter that she connected everything together and felt that Old Lady Liao was the resurrected female corpse.
"You are still careful." Zhan Beiyuan praised, he really didn't think much about it.
"Having experienced a lot and seen a lot, it's inevitable that I will observe more. Now I am more interested in the murderer who killed Lord Sun." Jiang Yunxi had an intriguing smile on his face.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at her, "Did you find anything?"
Jiang Yunxi shook her head. "Let's wait for Lord Qu to interrogate the maid to find out why she drugged me. But she probably doesn't even know what the person who bribed her to do it looks like."
The murderer wouldn't be that stupid.
Just like when Pei Lie deceived those women, he also disguised himself.
Qi Yan quickly drove the carriage to the farm.
It is a cloudy day today. From a distance, the desolate village looks a bit eerie.
"Master, what are we doing here?" Qi Yan couldn't help but ask. Every time he came here, he always felt a little creepy, even though nothing strange had happened.
"You stay in the carriage and don't have to go in with us. You can't help anyway." Zhan Beiyuan said and left. He didn't know what would happen in a while.
Qi Yan: “…”
The latter sentence actually doesn’t need to be said.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan went directly to the Liao family's yard. The gate of the yard was closed. As soon as they approached, the big black dog in the yard barked vigilantly.
"Mrs. Liao, are you home?" Jiang Yunxi knocked on the door.
The big black dog continued to bark.
After a long time, no one came to open the door.
"It seems she is not at home." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"But she shouldn't have left the manor. Let's go to the location of the ancient tomb." Jiang Yunxi made a decision quickly. The other party should not enter the city. It is very likely that she went to the back mountain.
The two of them walked quickly towards the back mountain. Just as they reached the entrance, they saw Old Mrs. Liao walking towards them slowly with a bamboo basket.
"Prince Han, Miss Jiang, why are you here?" Old Mrs. Liao's face was obviously surprised when she saw them.
