Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

The Prince of Yu's mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere.

There was a lot of joy.

Only then did I feel that Prince Yu was about to get married.

The servants in the mansion were busy running around, with smiles on their faces.

At this time, a major event happened in Shangjing.

Yao Ruofeng, the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor, has disappeared.

This caused a huge uproar in Shangjing.

The Yao family is a clean family and has no enemies in Beijing.

In broad daylight, a living person disappeared.

Master Yao turned to the emperor for help.

The emperor also attaches great importance to it.

Such a thing actually happened under the feet of the emperor. In addition to sending Ye Jinhu, the Minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the matter thoroughly, the emperor also sent Prince Yu.

Prince Yu brought his future brother-in-law Jiang He with him to investigate the case.

Jiang He followed Prince Yu to Yao's mansion to find out the situation.

According to Mrs. Yao, Yao Ruofeng said the day before she disappeared that she was going to Xiangguo Temple outside the city to burn incense.

However, the abbot of the temple said that he had never seen Yao Ruofeng.

The case suddenly came to a stalemate.

At this time, a maid provided important clues.

She said that on the day Yao Ruofeng disappeared, she saw a carriage parked at the back door of Yao's house, and the emblem on the carriage was the emblem of the neighboring country's royal family...

Jiang He was shocked. Was this matter related to a neighboring country? Prince Yu also looked solemn.

First, the emperor was assassinated, and the mastermind has not been caught until now.

Now, Master Yao’s daughter has been captured again. If she really has a relationship with the enemy country, things in Shangjing will not be peaceful.

Prince Yu's face was solemn. If it was really done by a neighboring country, then things would be troublesome.

He went to report to the emperor.

Emperor Rong Sheng was furious: "They kidnapped an innocent girl in Shangjing. Are they trying to start a war?"

Lin Muheng said: "The matter has not been thoroughly investigated yet. Maybe someone is deliberately confusing us. How about I find the person and then make plans?"

"Okay! These people must be caught, otherwise there will be no peace in the capital."

Rong Sheng Emperor Dao.

These days, people in Beijing are indeed in a panic.

There are women on the street who have to go out to make a living.

There is not even a trace of a noble lady from aristocratic family.

Jiang He suggested searching the city, but Lin Muheng thought that this would alert the enemy.

The two expressed their opinions and the situation was deadlocked.

Lin Muheng suggested starting the investigation with the people around Yao Ruofeng.

Jiang He thought this was a good strategy.

That's in line with Lin Muheng's steps.

This is what Lin Muheng likes about Jiang He.

He would not flatter Lin Muheng just because he was a prince.

Nor will I blindly trust others.

However, as long as he thinks it is right, he will not stubbornly stick to his own opinion.

Such people are best suited to fighting side by side.

The two began to investigate at Yao's house.

Madam Yao cried and screamed, "Your Highness! You must find my Feng'er! I wonder where she is suffering!"

Mrs. Yao cried bitterly, and Lin Muheng waited quietly until she had cried enough.

"Has anyone come to look for you since Miss Yao disappeared?"

"No!" Mrs. Yao said, "We are waiting too, but no one has delivered any letter." Mrs. Yao seemed a little anxious.

At this time, Master Yao also returned home.

He sent out many people, but there was no news from them.

Lin Muheng looked at Master Yao with sharp eyes and said, "I have been ordered to investigate the case of Miss Yao's disappearance. I hope Master Yao will cooperate."

Master Yao quickly replied, "If Your Majesty needs anything, I will fully cooperate."

Lin Muheng then asked, "Have you found anything unusual? For example, have any strangers come in and out of the house recently?"

Master Yao pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Nothing unusual. It's just that Feng'er received a mysterious letter a few days before the accident, but she burned it after reading it. I don't know the specific content."

Lin Muheng's heart moved, it seemed that there must be something fishy about this matter. He decided to investigate it in depth and find out the truth.

They discovered that Yao Ruofeng's personal maid Xiao Cui had disappeared after the incident.

Logically speaking, if Yao Ruofeng disappeared, the maid would either disappear as well or be beaten to death.

However, after Yao Ruofeng's accident, someone saw Xiao Cui entering and leaving the teahouse.

This is strange.

After the young lady disappeared, the personal maid did not return to the mansion to report the news, but appeared in the teahouse.

This is not common sense at all.

Therefore, Lin Muheng focused his search on Xiao Cui.

Lin Muheng sent people to search for Xiao Cui's whereabouts and finally found her in an inn.

However, Xiao Cui was already dead at this time, her body lying in the middle of the room, her face as pale as paper.

Lin Muheng carefully examined Xiao Cui's body and found a thin mark of strangulation on her neck, obviously she was murdered.

Her brows were tightly furrowed and her death looked miserable.

Things are getting even more confusing.

"Your Majesty!" Jiang He carefully examined the body and quickly said, "This is not the first scene."

Lin Muheng squatted down and took a look. "Yes, there are obvious signs of dragging on her back. And the shopkeeper just said that this room was not vacated until this morning. The body of this maid has already stiffened. It is obvious that she did not die this morning."

The two of them checked carefully, leaving out every spot under their feet.

Just when he was at a loss, Jiang He said, "Your Majesty, I know where the crime scene is."

“Tell me about it!” Lin Muheng said. He actually had the answer in his mind, but he just wanted to see if the two of them had the same opinion.

"Coal mine!" they said in unison.

The debris in the hair was exposed.

The two exchanged a look.

Lin Muheng said: "Call Lord Ye over and ask him to drag the body away."

Someone immediately went to inform Ye Jinhu.

At this time, Lin Muheng discovered that in Xiao Cui's hand was a broken jade pendant with a mysterious symbol engraved on it.

He had an idea that this jade pendant might be the key clue to solving the mystery.

Lin Muheng decided to start with Xiao Cui's social circle and investigate who she had close contacts with during her lifetime.

After some investigation, he identified several suspects and began to monitor them secretly.

At the same time, he was also trying to decipher the mysterious symbols on the jade pendant, hoping to find more clues from it.

A few days passed and Lin Muheng still had no clue.

At this time, Ye Jinhu discovered a fellow villager who was very close to Xiao Cui.

"Bring the person here!" Lin Muheng said.

My fellow villager is called Wu'er.

Wu'er had never seen such a scene before.

He kept begging for mercy.

"Why are you asking for mercy? What unforgivable crime have you committed?"

Lin Muheng's majestic voice rang out, shocking Wu'er so much that he stood there like a wooden chicken.

Lin Muheng knew that this man would at best do some sneaky things, and he would not dare to kill anyone."

He doesn't look like he has the courage to kill anyone.

But there are also people who are particularly good at acting.

Lin Muheng would not jump to conclusions easily.

Just as he was about to interrogate Wu'er, Wu'er suddenly fell ill and died in front of him.

Lin Muheng was shocked, and a bad premonition came to his mind. He immediately sent more people to search Wu'er's residence, and also accelerated the research on the jade pendant symbol.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, the secret of the jade pendant symbol was revealed. It turned out that this symbol was the symbol of an ancient organization, and this organization was inextricably linked to the court.

Lin Muheng realized that there might be a huge conspiracy behind this, and Xiaocui's death was just the tip of the iceberg. He decided to investigate the organization in depth and find out the mastermind behind it.
