After Liu'er died, her scholar brother and sister-in-law came and took her body away.
"Alright, you may leave." Feng Qingge waved her hand, dismissing Hua Niang. Then she spoke to Mo Linyuan in a deep voice, "I request that Your Highness send someone to search for that girl's body. If possible, please have a coroner examine the body."
"Black Nether, go and do it." Mo Linyuan nodded, his dark eyes filled with a deep, brooding intensity, like an inky vortex, radiating a chilling coldness.
Who among the officials in the court is clean? They are either corrupt or break the law. Officials protect each other. This great Yan state is so corrupt.
Mo Linyuan naturally knew what Feng Qingge meant. The death of the singing girl in the brothel was not accidental, nor was the death of this second-rank official.
The only connection between the two is that transaction: one person sang, and the other listened.
And then there was what Feng Qingge had whispered in his ear earlier: the bruises on that official's body were actually caused by drugs.
"I've long heard that most officials in the court have strange fetishes. Some like virgins, some like unborn children, and there are even such things. I never thought it was all true. Heh." Feng Qingge curled her lips slightly, smiling disdainfully. Is the mighty Great Yan really so lacking in talent that it has allowed such perverted scoundrels to become officials?
Mo Linyuan's expression was also not good. Amidst the wind and snow, she was right. He knew most of these things as well. However, matters in the court were interconnected, and some people could not be dealt with casually.
However, some things only need a trigger; uprooting them completely is not just talk.
The two pondered to themselves, and for a moment, the night was extremely quiet.
Afterwards, Feng Qingge bid farewell to Mo Linyuan and returned to the manor with Qi Quan. It was already late at night, and there was no need to investigate anything else until tomorrow.
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Mo Linyuan went straight to his study. Throughout the night, the guards dressed in black moved back and forth, only stopping at dawn.
This matter is a trigger, and he will naturally make good use of it. In the past few days, he has almost laid out a plan, just waiting for the truth to come out so that he can close the net.
In fact, Feng Qingge had done him a great favor. Mo Linyuan had already decided to recruit her.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Feng Qingge was basking in the sun on the upper floor of the pavilion. The afternoon sun was bright and warm, and felt very comfortable on her body.
In the past two days, Mo Linyuan sent people to search for the body of the brothel owner Liu'er, while she was quite idle. This matter was nearing its end, and the case could be closed as soon as the body was found.
However, that ghost is indeed a big problem, and it's unknown whether she has gotten her revenge or not.
Feng Qingge was filled with mixed emotions, feeling sorry for the girl and thinking she was being treated unfairly.
A moment later, Qi Quan jogged up the stairs, slowing down as he approached. "Young Master, the Regent has sent someone to invite you."
"Wow, that was fast." They found the body so quickly; they must have used a lot of manpower.
The two then descended the stairs and soon left the mansion. Outside, Hei Ming was already waiting with a carriage.
"It's a waste of talent for the Regent's personal guard to drive for me. I'm truly flattered." Upon seeing the expressionless Hei Ming as soon as she stepped outside, Feng Qingge teased him, saying she was flattered, but her face showed no surprise. Instead, she smiled broadly, as if she had blossomed into a flower.
"Young Master is joking, please." Hei Ming's face twitched almost imperceptibly, then he raised his hand to pull open the carriage curtain and invited her to get in.
She pouted, then climbed into the car through the curtain he had lifted, with Qi Quan following suit nimbly.
