Listening to the cold questioning voice, Luo Zhuangtou felt his scalp numb subconsciously.

But when he faced the Ninth Prince's cold eyes, he still just shirked his responsibility.

"Your Highness, I am guilty. I didn't know that so many corpses were buried in this imperial village."

"I'm really ashamed. It's my fault for poor management."

"Are you just poor in management? Is there anyone under your nose who has such courage?"

Xiao Jingyi spoke coldly.

"Your Highness, I have been busy for a long time and spent a lot of time outside. It is true that I have never stayed in Zhuangzi."

He was still arguing that the main one had nothing to do with him and he didn't know.

But the people from Dali Temple were still there, and everyone in Zhuangzi was suspicious, so how could they listen to his words?

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple ordered people to explore the traces around the flower field.

There are many corpses and it has been a long time.

Even if there are a few corpses, they were newly buried recently.

But there are still no traces to check.

The flowers here have been picked countless times.

Even if there were traces, they have long since disappeared.

After seeing that no other clues could be found at the scene, the search was finally stopped.

"All the people from Huangzhuang should be brought back to the Yamen."

"The bodies will also be transported back."

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple spoke, and the villagers were a little nervous for a moment, but most of them were not worried.

Anyway, only the person who actually committed the crime has a ghost in his heart.

The people from Dali Temple said goodbye to Xiao Jingyi.

Most of the people in Huangzhuang were also taken away, and Zhuangzi could no longer operate normally.

There were still some old, weak, women and children left in Zhuangzi, so Xiao Jingyi asked them to lock Zhuangzi away first.

He, Gu Xue, and Gu Xia returned to the city.

"I'm really sorry that I didn't let you relax when I came out."

Xiao Jingyi comforted him.

Gu Xia quickly said it was okay and he had learned a lot today.

She was already very happy to be able to follow her sister and brother-in-law out.

After the young minister of Dali Temple returned, he told Shangfeng about the matter.

The next day, the minister of Dali Temple quickly informed the emperor of the matter.

The emperor also became angry.

"I didn't expect that an imperial manor could harbor such filth and evil. Check it out, let me investigate it strictly."

Although there is a strict investigation, everyone in Zhuangzi is suspected.

But anyone with a discerning eye understands that it mostly has something to do with the management.

Even if ordinary bankers have the courage, they don't have the ability to do such a shocking thing in the Imperial Mansion without being noticed.

More than ten days later, Gu Xue heard the news and Zhuangtou finally confessed.

First, the steward couldn't stand the torture and revealed some things about Zhuangtou.

Zhuangtou couldn't bear it anymore and told the truth.

Concubine Luo’s natal nephew, Luo Zhixiong.

He is the youngest son in the family.

The Luo Zhixiong brothers were either officials in the court or responsible for running the household affairs.

Only Luo Zhixiong is more playful and does not do his job every day and is good at having fun.

Later, through the relationship with his aunt Luo Fei, he became the head of an imperial village.

He also does other positions, but his main purpose is to have fun and have free time.

He was not willing to do that kind of serious errand.

As for Huangzhuang, it is usually managed by someone, and he only intervenes and arranges things.

It's relatively leisurely.

He has time to do other things.

More importantly, Huangzhuang can cover something for him.

He also ran a small restaurant.

The food in the restaurant is relatively expensive, and the people who consume it are dignitaries. Ordinary people cannot afford it.

Since he was a child, he has understood a truth at home, that is, people must live a good life.

Then you need to have a very powerful backer.

Only in this way can we have someone to take care of us for a long time, be a good person forever, and lead a smooth life.

The biggest supporter of their family is naturally Concubine Luo.

He used the restaurant to send beauties to the young men of officials' families.

Drunk conversations with a beautiful woman in your arms are often the easiest times to reveal your true feelings.

Sometimes, some information accidentally revealed by the sons of these officials will become Luo Zhixiong's intelligence.

It is convenient for Concubine Luo in the palace to use.

Concubine Luo has a prince who is still young.

As a royal, there are some things that you have to consider in advance for yourself and your son.

Some of the information obtained from Luo Zhixiong is intelligence, and some is a handle for some officials.

This is why Luo Fei is willing to let Luo Zhixiong work in Huangzhuang.

It is nothing new for him to provide beautiful women to young men.

There are many brothels in the capital.

It's just that Luo Zhixiong's characteristic here is that he doesn't care about life or death, which is commonly known as having fun.

Sometimes when the boys are playing, they accidentally kill one or two of them.

When someone dies, Luo Zhixiong has to dispose of the body.

Just bury the person directly under the flower field of Huangzhuang.

The floral scent masks this very well.

That's why he doesn't bury it in the vegetable patch.

After all, the vegetables in the vegetable field are for people to eat, and he himself doesn't care.

Flowers are different. After all, they are put out for people to see.

Over the past year, the flower field has become Luo Zhixiong’s exclusive burial ground.

There are flowers of all seasons planted inside, so there has always been nothing wrong with it and it has never attracted anyone's attention.

And why are organs missing from corpses?

Many of the corpses exhumed had their hearts and livers cut out.

This is entirely because Luo Zhixiong has a violent heart hidden deep in his heart.

On the surface, he chats and laughs with people like a fish in water.

In fact, he is very violent inside, which can also be said to be abnormal.

He laughs in front of others, acts like a dandy, and says good things to those young men like a grandson.

After the queen, she used the corpse to vent her anger...

The case was clear and the bankers were released.

Xiao Jingyi also compensated each of them with one tael of silver.

Not to mention they helped dig the soil.

He also suffered an unreasonable disaster.

After staying in prison for so long, their wives and children at home were still waiting for them to return to Zhuangzi.

It was an unexpected surprise for the dealers to receive the money, and they all thanked Xiao Jingyi one after another.

Concubine Luo was implicated and her status was reduced to that of a concubine.

At the same time, he was banned for half a year.

Luo Bin's son was sent to the queen, and he would be raised by the queen from now on.

The emperor was really afraid that Luo Bin would teach his children to be like Luo Zhixiong.

Luo Zhixiong was sentenced to be beheaded, and the same was true for those young men who caused trouble.

The steward in Zhuangzi was sentenced to exile for failing to report the knowledge and covering up.

In the flower field in Huangzhuang, all the flowers in it were dug up.

From now on, no flowers will be planted there.

The government issued a notice claiming those bodies.

If the victim had an origin, she was found to be a girl from a good family, and her family was compensated 100 taels of silver by the government.

The body was also taken back by the family.

Before taking him back, the eminent monks from the temple in the capital performed rituals and chanted sutras for salvation.

Others who were unclaimed and had no relatives were also saved and then buried in one place.

The flower field was also highlighted...

Gu Xue looked at the time, her parents were coming soon.

These days, apart from going out for shopping, I just do shopping.

It is convenient for family members to use when they come.

From now on, she plans to get married in the yard next to Xiao Jingyi's.

Although the two yards are next to each other.

But on the day of the wedding, Xiao Jingyi would take Gu Xue from the yard next door, sit in a sedan chair, and go around the city.

Then go back to his mansion.

Equivalent to walking a circle.

Therefore, Gu Xue bought all the things her parents needed and took them directly back to the house next door to Xiao Jingyi.

It is also the house where she and her sister live now.

On the day mentioned in the letter, Xiao Jingyi brought Gu Xue and Gu Xia to the city gate.

The two Gu Xue sisters kept looking into the distance.

I do not know how long it has been.

Finally, I saw the approaching convoy.

Gu Xue recognized the young man on the horse at once.

"Brother! Look, it's brother!"
