"You can't arrest my son, let him go!" The wife of Marquis Changxing looked weak, but at this moment she burst out with amazing strength. She slammed the bailiff hard, causing him to stagger.
"Prince, this isn't true, is it? Speak up--" Jiang Qian took the opportunity to hold the Prince of Changxing and screamed, and when no one was paying attention, she lowered her voice and said, "I'm pregnant--"
The somewhat confused look in the eyes of the Prince of Changxing suddenly became clear, and he stared at Jiang Qian intently.
What did she say? Pregnant?
Jiang Qian nodded desperately.
Believe it, as long as he believed in her, he could not attack the mother who was carrying his child and let her and him be ruined.
“Take it away!”
No matter how the women of the Changxing Marquis's mansion cried and screamed, Zhen Shichengsi remained unmoved and ordered his subordinates to take away the Changxing Marquis's son and two servants.
As for the corpses, they could not be cleaned up in a short time. The flower-filled garden of the marquis' mansion became a temporary place to bury the bodies, and people avoided it as much as possible.
The wife of the Marquis of Changxing ran after him: "My Yu'er is a good child and will not hurt anyone. You must have made a mistake——"
"Lord Zhen, please show mercy. This is my only son!" Marquis Changxing had lost his previous composure. He grabbed Zhen Shicheng's hand tightly and was about to kneel down in front of him.
"Other families may have only one daughter like this." Zhen Shicheng bowed expressionlessly, "Maybe I will call you to the classroom for questioning later. I hope you will cooperate then. Goodbye!"
Marquis Changxing staggered back, his face pale.
Zhen Shicheng turned around swiftly and took two steps forward. Suddenly, he paused and turned back, his eyes passing Changxing Hou and falling on the flowers and trees not far away.
There were two pretty girls standing there, one of them was wearing a white shirt and a red skirt, she was more beautiful than a flower.
Of course he couldn't ignore the little girl.
Why is she here? And what is her connection with this murder?
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhen Shicheng's mind, but this was not the time to talk, so he could only glance at the girl from a distance to let her know that he had seen her.
The little girl is bold and cunning. If we don't confirm this meeting now, she might deny it when asked about it later.
Who would have thought that the girl in the white shirt and red skirt just smiled and gracefully knelt down towards him.
Zhen Shicheng was startled and couldn't help curling his lips. He turned around and left with the yamen runners.
Seeing such a thrilling scene, Jiang Qiao, who was brave enough, had turned pale with fear. Just as she recovered her breath, she grabbed Jiang Qiao's hand and asked, "Fourth sister, was that Master Zhen just looking at you?"
Jiang Si pretended to be stupid: "No, he definitely wouldn't look at me on purpose, we don't know each other."
Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes: "Then why are you saluting?"
Jiang Si continued to play dumb: "Seeing that Lord Zhen, who is as good as a god in solving cases, looking over here, he was a little excited."
Well, after dealing with someone, I seem to become a lot thicker-skinned.
"What should we do next?" The whole garden was in a mess, with the sounds of crying and talking intertwined together making people feel uncomfortable. Jiang Qiao asked.
Jiang Si glanced in the direction of Jiang Li and Jiang Pei and said, "Let's go find the fifth sister first."
The gate of the mansion was wide open, and the outside was filled with people watching the excitement.
This news had already spread outside, and now everyone knew that the prince of Changxing had killed someone, and ten corpses were dug out in the garden of the marquis' mansion in one go.
Ten corpses, what does that mean? Many people have never seen so many dead bodies in their lives. How can they miss such a lively scene?
Those experienced aunts and grandmas had already prepared rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells, just waiting to attack the brutal murderer when he appeared.
Why? Why are there no rotten eggs? You must be kidding. Eggs are so expensive. If they go bad, they can be eaten by pigs. How can they be given to such people?
"Tanghulu, Tanghulu——"
"Ice jelly, delicious ice jelly, eat a bowl and watch the excitement, you won't get a heat stroke——"
For a while, the crowd outside the Changxing Marquis's Mansion was even more lively than a gathering.
Among these people stood a woman with a numb expression. Although she looked numb, if you looked closely, you could see that a storm seemed to be brewing in her eyes.
"It's coming out! It's coming out!" The crowd was in an uproar.
Seeing the prince of Changxing being escorted by the yamen runners, someone exclaimed: "It's really the prince of Changxing!"
Ordinary people have their own wisdom. In their view, if such a distinguished person is being held by a police officer, the murderer must be the one.
The woman rushed forward like a whirlwind and slapped the Changxing Marquis's face. Then she used her hands and feet, wishing she could use every inch of her body as a weapon to kill the man in front of her: "You beast, give me back my daughter's life! Niuniu bought osmanthus cake for me, how could you kill her? She is my life——"
"Auntie, calm down." the bailiff advised.
Lady Xiu could no longer hear anything. She had only one thought in her mind: she would bite the beast to death even with her mouth to avenge her daughter.
Zhen Shicheng sighed and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop. Ten bodies have been dug out of the garden. There are nine other families who have lost their daughters just like you. I will give you justice."
Madam Xiu stepped back in a daze, covering her face and crying bitterly.
Even if she gets justice, her daughter will never come back.
"You beast, you have no conscience at all!" The onlookers could not help but curse, and threw rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells at the Prince of Changxing.
"Stop it, you are not allowed to insult my son--" The wife of Marquis Changxing desperately stood in front of the eldest son of Marquis Changxing.
The onlookers paused, and then more rotten vegetable leaves flew towards them: "Your son is the apple of your eye, and other people's daughters are just blown in by the wind, right?"
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly embarrassing, Marquis Changxing hurriedly ordered his men to pull his wife away.
"I won't leave. I want to protect Yu'er--" The wife of Marquis Changxing rolled her eyes and fell down softly.
In the garden, the sixth girl Jiang Pei was so frightened that she leaned against the vermilion column without moving.
Although Fifth Miss Jiang Li's expression was not very good, she still greeted Jiang Si and the others when they came over: "Third sister, fourth sister——"
Jiang Qiao is the oldest among the four sisters. She has a strong sense of being the elder sister at this moment. She tries her best to remain calm and says, "Let's go back home. We'll talk about everything after we get home."
By this time, Jiang Pei had lost the cleverness she had when she was being squeezed, and could only nod like a chick pecking at rice.
She wanted to go home and escape from this horrible place.
"Second, second sister——" Jiang Li's face turned even paler, and her eyes stared straight ahead.
Jiang Li turned her head and found that Jiang Qian had walked over at some point and was standing behind a few people with an expressionless face, like a fierce ghost waiting for the right moment to devour her.
At this moment, Jiang Li was struck by indescribable fear and couldn't help but scream.
Jiang Qian cast a cold gaze on Jiang Li's face.
How dare such a humble and lowly person, who had lived a stable life by pleasing his mother, yell at her?
"Sixth sister is afraid of me?" Jiang Qian asked gloomily.
