Shock!Crazy criticism that the regent’s first wife is actually me

Chapter 188 Zhilan, can’t come back

Whether it is or not, you can always find out by looking it up.

Many domestic slaves went into the water. The mud in the lotus pond was very deep. If they didn't go down, they would have no idea what was underneath. They couldn't see clearly and could only feel it with their hands and feet.

Fortunately, with today's weather, it's not too cold to get into the water, but the mud is really uncomfortable with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Yan Wan stood on the shore, staring at everyone's movements.

Zhiyue's heart was already in her throat.

Hui Niang hoped from the bottom of her heart that some things would never happen if she just thought too much.

All around, it was so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing through the lotus leaves was heard. There was obviously a sound, but it seemed more and more lifeless.

There was no movement for a long time. Yan Wan thought that she must have been worrying too much. How could there be... in this lotus pond...

The next moment, someone suddenly screamed.

"Quick, there seems to be movement here!"

Yan Wan suddenly raised her eyes. If Bo Yangui hadn't held her hand, she might have jumped down too.

In full view of everyone, the slave who entered the water was holding the rope with one hand and groping hard under the water with the other.

If the strength of one person is not enough, two will be needed.

Two, three, four, slowly, everyone moved towards one point.

In the corner, someone stood silently, then turned around and left in a panic...

Finally, a long object was dragged out from under the mud, waiting to surface. Yan Wan swayed, but fortunately, Bo Yangui quickly took it into his arms.

As long as you are not blind, you should know what the long strip is?
sack.

Human form, sack.

When the sack was carried to the shore and carried up, Zhiyue rushed over immediately.

Even though she was a secret guard, she was used to seeing life and death, but suddenly she lost the courage to face her loved ones.

Unless the knife cuts yourself, you will never know how painful it will be.

"Open!" Bo Yangui said.

The sack was tied, and the slave quickly untied the rope and slowly opened the sack, gradually revealing... the person inside!

To be precise, it should be a corpse.

The lotus pond is deep and covered with silt.

The exposed corpse was so swollen that it was impossible to distinguish it from the face. The only thing that was clear was the clothes, which were very similar to what Zhilan was wearing when they parted that day.

Yan Wan stood there, her face pale and motionless, as quiet as the air.

Zhiyue couldn't believe it. They were fine when they were separated before. How could they become like this in the blink of an eye?
Do not!
"It's not Zhilan, it's not her, no!" Zhiyue doesn't believe it, absolutely doesn't believe it.

Her docile sister is still injured, how could it be possible...

Hui Niang was older and was used to serving in the palace, so she became the backbone. She stepped forward and had someone help remove the sack, revealing the whole body, and then turned the body over.

It's completely unrecognizable, and it's really hard to identify.

But the injuries on the body’s back couldn’t be deceived.

The whip marks were so soaked that they grinned, the flesh and blood were blurred, the wounds collapsed, and the skin turned white and turned out. These are enough to prove who died?

Zhiyue fell to her knees on the ground, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

He became a secret guard and protected the Regent's Palace for half his life, but he couldn't protect his only sister and his last close relative. The sword was so hot and painful in his hand that he could still hold it?

"Don't go there." Bo Yangui couldn't bear it.

Yan Wan brushed his hand away and stepped forward with heavy steps.

When she knelt down, Hui Niang couldn't bear it, "Miss, stop looking!"

"Carry her to a secluded room, and I'll take a closer look." Yan Wan's voice was very soft, but her expression was surprisingly calm, "Zhilan's death will not be in vain..." Zhiyue raised her eyes and looked at her. Color scarlet.

"Carry it away!" Jingshan waved his hand.

Zhilan's body was carried down and placed in a corner of the backyard.

This house has always been vacant, and no one comes here. The corner is so remote that it is very quiet.

A temporary wooden bed was built, and Zhilan's body was placed on it.

After being fished out of the water, the white meat quickly turned black and smelly, and the whole house was filled with a strong and persistent smell that ordinary people could not get close to, let alone the home of a delicate daughter.

Wear special gloves and coat.

Burn atractylodes and saponaria, hold ginger slices in your mouth, and cover your mouth and nose with a cloth.

When the smell in the house subsides slightly, take off the corpse's clothes and set the bones.

Yan Wanzai carefully examined Zhilan's body from beginning to end. There was no sharp object in the bun, there were marks in the throat, and the hyoid bone was fractured. From the initial inspection, the neck bone was strangled and she died.

only……

"He is very strong and very accurate. He can kill a person with just three fingers and break his neck bone. This is not something ordinary people can do. He is a martial arts practitioner and is extremely precise and ruthless." Yan Wan looked calm.

The speed was so fast that it was almost fatal in an instant. Zhilan should not have suffered any torture.

The so-called traces are just three points.

"A person who practices martial arts." Zhiyue gritted her teeth, her eyes red.

There are many people practicing martial arts in the mansion, and the guards are more or less skilled in these hard skills, so based on these alone, it is impossible to determine who the murderer is, not even a rough outline.

The direction is too broad and there is no way to start.

Yan Wan worked hard to open Zhilan's clenched hand. There seemed to be something in the palm of her left hand. When she opened Zhilan's palm, there were only two jade beads.

The jade beads are covered with dust and mud.

"This is..." Zhiyue stepped forward, "Beads?"

Yan Wan placed the two jade beads on the plate, dipped the brush in water, and gently scrubbed them clean, "And the material is of high quality, and the beads are round and smooth. They are not something that only a maidservant can afford."

The white jade is exquisite and translucent.

Such a good thing should be a bracelet, right?

"The holes are all so smooth, it can be seen that they have been carefully polished." Yan Wan held it in her hand, walked to the window, and looked at the light carefully and repeatedly, "The cotton stains on the inside are very good, and the powdery feel is very good. It is a good thing."

If they are connected in a series, they are even more valuable.

"Take one and ask the major shops in the capital who sells it?" Bo Yangui turned around and ordered, "Also, the palace should also keep an eye on it to see if it comes from the palace."

If there isn't one outside, it's probably something from the palace.

Things in the palace will not easily enter the regent's palace unless they are rewards.

The rewards given to the slaves in the palace are the private property of the masters. It is impossible to reward the slaves with the rewards in the palace, unless they are ordinary objects.

Yan Wan said that this jade was of high quality and rare, and would definitely not be used as a reward for slaves.

The back garden is not an important place, but not everyone can enter it casually...

"Yes!" Jingshan took the handkerchief, wrapped a bead, turned around and left.

Yan Wan took a deep breath and said, "Auntie, go and look for that place. Since it may be a string of beads, you may not be able to pick them all up. Unless they fell into the lotus pond, there will always be fish that slip through the net."

"Understood!" Hui Niang turned around and left.

There are too few clues, so we have to hold on to the few we have!

"Huh?" Yan Wan frowned.

Zhiyue immediately stepped forward, "What did you find?"
