The prince of Changxing was so frightened by Erniu's behavior that he shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Beat that beast to death!"

Zhen Shicheng raised his eyebrows.

If the Prince of Changxing was just afraid of frightening these little girls, there would be no need for him to lose his composure like this.

So, there really is something under the flowers and plants, and this big dog that came from nowhere smelled the strange smell?

But this patch of flowers is not peony flowers——

Zhen Shicheng moved his gaze to the side and carefully examined the cluster of peonies next to the flowers and plants.

A large field of peony flowers bloomed brilliantly, in delicate yellow and light red, and looked extremely charming.

etc--

Zhen Shicheng's eyes narrowed and his gaze fell on the most inconspicuous base of the wall. The small cluster of peonies there looked listless compared to the other peonies and seemed to be about to wither.

It is not surprising that the peonies are withering at this time of year, but thinking that both Lady Xiu and Mr. Chi had said that their daughter's body was buried under the peonies, Zhen Shicheng instantly figured out the secret with the intuition he had developed over the years of facing cases.

Is the Prince of Changxing feeling guilty about his crimes?

Haha, he has seen too many smart murderers who are misled by their own intelligence.

Several servants armed with sticks surrounded Erniu who was working hard to dig the soil.

Erniu sensed the danger and, still digging the ground with his front paws, he used his hind legs to kick over the first person who rushed up. Then he swept the dust with his big tail, blinding the other two people.

At this time, it finally stopped digging the soil, bared its teeth at the last two people holding sticks, and made a low sound in its throat.

In the sunlight, the half-human-tall dog looked imposing, revealing a pair of sharp teeth that gleamed with a cold light.

The two of them looked at each other.

Erniu didn't give the two men much chance to think and jumped forward.

"Oh my God!" The two servants were so scared that they threw away the sticks in their hands and ran away.

This dog is so scary, just like a lone wolf!

Erniu gave a satisfied cry, then turned around and continued digging the hole.

If the dog works hard to complete the task assigned to it by its mistress, maybe she will go home with it - this very simple thought flashed through the dog's mind.

"Waste!" The prince of Changxing Marquis slapped the fleeing servant so hard that the servant spun around and fell to the ground.

The other servant calmed down, gritted his teeth, turned back, picked up the stick and prepared to continue dealing with the big dog.

At this time, Zhen Shicheng said: "Wait a minute!"

Everyone looked over.

Marquis Changxing had an embarrassed and angry look on his face, showing the proper reaction of a mansion owner after making a joke in front of outsiders. However, the eldest son of Marquis Changxing was different.

He paid no attention to Zhen Shicheng's shouts, but picked up a wooden stick and went forward to chase the big dog away.

"Come back quickly, be careful of the vicious dog that might hurt you!" Changxing Hou was very anxious.

Zhen Shicheng winked at his subordinates: "Why don't you go and protect the prince!"

The two subordinates understood and quickly ran over. One of them grabbed the arm of the Prince of Changxing and dragged him back, saying, "Prince, don't put yourself in danger. Let us do it."

“Let go!” The Prince of Changxing’s face turned purple, and it was unclear whether he was anxious or angry.

However, the subordinates that Zhen Shicheng brought with him were obviously skilled in martial arts, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free. In desperation, he kicked his legs desperately, looking like a wolf.

The noble ladies who were hiding in various places but had not left watched with their eyes wide open.

Watching the excitement is human nature, regardless of gender or age.

A noblewoman was moved and said, "I never thought that the prince of Changxing would be so responsible to his guests. A useless servant would risk his life to chase away the vicious dog."

A calm-looking girl saw something and said, "Maybe it's not that simple. Even if a vicious dog broke into the party, the behavior of the Changxing Marquis was too inappropriate..."

"What do you mean?"

The girl smiled and said, "Let's wait and see. I think there will be something exciting to watch."

"Haha, I love to watch the excitement the most. I was quite frightened just now. If there is excitement to watch, it will be regarded as compensation."

Seeing the big dog digging the soil very quickly, the prince of Changxing was drenched in cold sweat and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You are all dead men. How dare you let outsiders do this to me! Why don't you pull these two people apart——"

He paused and changed his mind instantly: "No, let's get rid of this beast first. Whoever gets rid of it first will get a reward of 100 taels of silver!"

A great reward will always bring about brave men, and the servants immediately became excited.

At this time the big dog stopped.

Shocked by the might of the big dog just now, when it stopped, several servants also stopped subconsciously.

Erniu held a shoe in his mouth and looked in the direction of Jiang Si.

As a big dog loyal to its mistress, its first reaction was to dig up the treasure and quickly present it to its owner.

Jiang Si quietly pointed at Zhen Shicheng.

Erniu wagged his tail, ran to Zhen Shicheng and put his shoes down.

The shoes were covered in mud, and their original color could no longer be seen. However, Zhen Shicheng could still tell at a glance that they were a pair of embroidered shoes!

"Woof woof——" Erniu barked twice at Zhen Shicheng.

I've given you all the treasures we dug out. Just say something. It doesn't matter whether you want to praise me or the hostess.

At the same time, the two servants' legs went limp and they fell to the ground.

The two men were Lu Zi and An Zi, the servants in charge of burying the bodies.

The two men looked pale, with only one thought in their minds: It's over, it's over!

They encountered a female ghost that night and were so scared that they dug a shallower hole than before. Unexpectedly, a dog dug out their shoes!

Not far away, there were voices of discussion.

"Oh, how can you dig out shoes from the soil?"

"Maybe someone lost it."

"Impossible. Who in a house like ours would be so rude as to throw away shoes, especially embroidered shoes."

…

All kinds of discussions made Changxing Hou feel gloomy and he looked at his son subconsciously.

Zhen Shicheng picked up the shovel at the base of the wall and walked towards the deep pit.

"Lord Zhen——" Marquis Changxing couldn't help but shout.

Zhen Shicheng smiled and said, "My Lord, I am also curious about how embroidered shoes could be found in the soil. I decided to dig and see."

At this time, the Prince of Changxing stopped struggling. His eyes became increasingly serious, and he gradually regained his rationality.

Don't panic. Even if the body is dug out, what will happen? Who can prove that he killed the person? Then he can just put the blame on the servants, and the reputation of the Changxing Marquisate will be damaged at best. These thoughts flashed through his mind, and the Changxing Marquis's son became calmer.

Zhen Shicheng dug the soil bit by bit. Fortunately, the abnormally smart big dog had already dug quite deep in one place. He touched something after only a few digs and immediately shouted for his subordinates to come and help.

The sun grew hotter, and the dug-up flowers and plants soon wilted.

Because the top layer of soil was very soft and had obviously just been turned over, it was easy to expand the excavation scope, and before long a body wrapped in a bed sheet was dug out.

The smell gradually spread.

After a moment of silence, the timid lady screamed.

Oh my god, there are dead bodies buried in the garden of Changxing Marquis Mansion!

"Dig more!" Zhen Shicheng said sharply.
