The moon is bright in the sky, and its light is like frost.

The peony petals are slightly closed, as if a bright and charming girl in the daytime has taken off her gorgeous clothes and fallen asleep.

Jiang Si took a light sniff and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Without further hesitation, she went to the base of the wall and took the shovel that the gardener had left there for who knows how long, then walked slowly around the peony bushes.

She wanted to find out where the stench of the corpse was strongest.

Soon Jiang Si stopped at a place, squatted down and looked around in the moonlight.

The soil there looks relatively loose, and must have been turned over not long ago.

Jiang Si tightened his grip on the shovel.

She had a vague idea of ​​what she would see under these peony flowers, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

However, she had to see it with her own eyes to feel at ease.

Jiang went down like a shovel and dug up a handful of soil.

Because there was no light, the color of the soil could not be distinguished clearly by the moonlight. Jiang Si gritted his teeth and dug the soil with shovel after shovel. The stench lingering in his nose became stronger and stronger.

The soil on both sides gradually piled up, and another shovel was shoveled down, and the tip of the shovel suddenly touched something.

Jiang Si's heart was pounding and he immediately stopped and looked over there.

I could vaguely see something in the black and yellow soil, but I couldn't tell what it was.

Jiang Si calmed himself down, took a closer look, and finally figured out what it was.

That's a human hand!

Jiang Si suddenly stepped back, his heart beating like thunder.

She was sure that it was a human hand. What was buried under the beautiful peony flowers was not a cat or a dog, but a human corpse!

But it's not enough.

This is the back garden of the Changxing Marquis Mansion. Even if the body buried here is exposed, the Changxing Marquis Mansion can still find a scapegoat.

Who can prove that the victim under the peony flowers was killed by the prince of Changxing?

As long as the Changxing Marquisate insists that the murder was committed by the servants in the mansion, there are a hundred ways to get rid of the Changxing Marquis's son. By then, the Changxing Marquisate will at most be left with a reputation for lax governance.

We can't make any moves for now!

This thought flashed through Jiang Si's mind. He no longer cared about the disgust and fear, and quickly filled the dug soil with a shovel.

The bright moon hid behind the dark clouds, and the night seemed to grow darker.

Just as the last shovel of soil was filled back in, Jiang Si's whole body suddenly froze.

She smelled fresh blood!

Although she didn't hear anything else now, the smell couldn't hide from her nose.

What surprised Jiang Si even more was that the smell of blood became stronger and stronger, which meant that the source of the smell was getting closer and closer to her.

Jiang Si tightly grasped the flower shovel and quickly lowered his body, using the peony flowers to barely hide his figure, and looked through the branches in the direction where the smell came from.

Then, she suddenly widened her eyes.

Someone is coming!

Two people were walking towards her, one in front and one behind, carrying something.

At this time, the moon happened to emerge from behind the clouds, and Jiang Si could see clearly in the moonlight that they were two young men dressed as servants.

Two servants carried it——

Jiang Si stared at the object between the two of them. As the strong smell of blood continued to stimulate every nerve in her body, she was already sure what it was.

It was a dead body wrapped in a sheet and something else!

At this time, in this place, with the pungent smell of blood, she certainly wouldn't be naive enough to think that the person wrapped in the sheets was still alive.

Are they here to bury the bodies?

Jiang Si's mind raced as he stared at the two servants as they got closer and closer. Although he was shocked, he was not panicked.

She could still handle the two ordinary servants if the situation really came to a head.

Of course, for Jiang Si now, it is best not to be discovered.

As the two servants got closer, Jiang Si calmed down instead, and even his thundering heartbeat returned to normal.

Danger always coexists with opportunity. Although the sudden appearance of these two people brought the risk of being discovered, it also gave her the possibility of knowing more information.

The two servants stopped near the peony bushes and put the body on the ground. One of them whispered, "Get to work. Finish it quickly and go home soon."

Another person muttered, "I thought this young lady could live a few more days, but who would have thought that she would be tortured to death by the prince today. It's really bad luck. I was supposed to go to bed early today..."

Jiang Si carefully looked at the two servants through the gaps between the flowers and trees and found that their feet were wrapped in soft cloth, and there was no sign of nervousness on their faces when they were talking.

A chill rose from the depths of Jiang Si's heart.

They knew that wrapping their feet with soft cloth would reduce noise, and they didn't seem nervous, which showed that they were quite experienced in burying corpses in the middle of the night.

This level of proficiency meant that countless bodies were buried in this way.

"Stop complaining. The prince went out at night, and when he came back he looked a little off. I guess something went wrong so he went to this young lady. Then we can only blame this young lady for her short life. She deserved to die today."

"Brother Lu, I don't know why I feel uneasy. Do you think we will be punished if we do this too much?"

Hiding behind the flowers, Jiang Si bit her lip and sneered.

She promised that they would be punished!

Now there is no need to guess that after leaving her, the Prince of Changxing had no place to vent his evil thoughts, so he went to the dead girl in front of him.

From the conversation between the two servants, it can be confirmed that the dead girl was not a maid in the mansion, but a good girl from outside.

"Retribution? Do you really believe in this? In the past two years, we have buried at least eight corpses for the prince. Do you think any of them will turn into a fierce ghost and come to take their lives?" Another servant said unconvincingly, "Besides, the prince killed the people. We just helped bury the bodies. This is to let them rest in peace. In fact, we did a good deed. How can we be punished?"

There was one thing the servant didn't dare to say: If there is any retribution, it will be the prince who will bear the consequences.

The more Jiang Si listened, the uglier his expression became.

Sure enough, she was right to make up her mind to deal with this beast, Changxing Hou Shizi, as soon as possible, otherwise there is no telling how many girls he would harm.

"That's right. Okay, let's get to work." The servant who was a little worried before walked towards where Jiang Si was.

Jiang Si gently turned the gold bracelet, thinking quickly about what medicine would be most suitable to deal with these two people.

At this time, the servant named Lu Zi shouted, "Let's go to another place. Someone was buried there not long ago. By the way, it seems that the young lady's family sells tofu."

Another servant sighed: "Actually, that young lady is a bit pitiful. I saw her selling tofu with her mother..."

Lu Zi sneered: "If the prince hadn't seen her, why would the young lady be here? An Zi, what's wrong with you today, you old-fashioned woman?"

"Hey, Ziying is nice to me today."

"Well, now that you've had a taste of being a woman, you know how to be gentle with her. But if you keep dawdling, it will be dawn."

"Work, work." The two men left the body wrapped in the sheet lying alone on the ground and walked towards the corner.

"Hey, why is there one less spade?"
