Chapter 140 The body is still fresh

Then the official called another person's name.

After checking your identity, stand aside.

This is repeated until the last person is reached.

List the names that no one answered and then list them.

Pei Hao took this list and asked his cronies to get another one, which was the names of the servants who entered the palace of Shangshu Mansion. After comparing it, there was still one male servant who was not present, "Steward! Where is this person named Feng Dahu?"

He, isnt he here? The steward looked around in panic.

Pei Hao asked in a deep voice, "Where is he?"

"The villain doesn't know, I really don't know. He was seen during the day, why isn't he here now?"

Can you follow me into the palace?

"It's impossible. Based on his status, he is not qualified to enter the palace with the masters. He is just a person who pours night incense in the palace..." The housekeeper had a bad feeling in his heart, wondering where this harmful person had gone.

Pei Hao glanced at the people present with cold eyes, "Who knows where Feng Dahu is?"

Suddenly, the whole place was silent.

Pei Hao pointed to the steward and said, "Bring him up to me."

Two officers and soldiers came forward and escorted the steward forward.

Pei Hao reached out to an official and said, "Bring the portrait."

He has not let anyone see it directly, just because he is afraid that something will be revealed.

At this time, no one is present, so there is clearly a problem.

Du Wan would still act like a princess in front of others.

He moved quietly and sneaked up to Pei Hao, "You said the absent one is not the one we are looking for, right?"

"It's hard to tell. Let the steward recognize it first." Pei Hao directly handed the portrait to the steward, "Who is this person? Do you recognize him?"

The housekeeper panicked for a moment when he saw the portrait. His finger pointing at the portrait was still trembling, "Sir, sir, this person looks a bit like Feng Dahu."

Seriously?

Its true, its true. If you dont believe it, you can ask other people.

Pei Hao was really asked, and after asking around, they all said it was Feng Dahu.

Du Wan didnt expect that there would be more twists and turns in arresting the person, Its not like someone has already silenced her.

No problem, he can also find out the problem...

Just as the emperor thought.

Murong Shangshu's house was full of filth and evil, a common problem among wealthy families.

There are very few wealthy and powerful families in the entire capital city who can be called clean.

And such a family is not worthy of praise or envy. The reason is that the population is not prosperous and there are few masters in the house. As the saying goes, if the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, but if the forest is small, there are only two or three kittens, and they can't cause trouble at home even if they want to.

Wow! Another corpse.

Du Wan was surprised and squatted not far from a dry well to watch the excitement.

Its not that she didnt want to get closer, but Pei Hao stopped her and didnt allow her to go, for fear that she would be hit by dirty things and have nightmares at night.

Du Wan still sympathized with the dead people, "Prince Pei, you can ask the Yamen to find out the reason. You can't let people die because they are confused."

"Will do."

Pei Hao still has two ideas about the emperor's thoughts.

Just for a moment.

Shang Shufu has found seven corpses.

Two of them were in dry wells, and one was sunk at the bottom of the pond.

The remaining four bodies were from Du Wan who passed by a relatively remote small garden and suddenly wanted the officers and soldiers to dig the soil.

Experienced officers and soldiers actually dug out the bones...

Mu Si'an hurried over at this time, "Sir, I found it."

Where? Pei Hao asked immediately.

Du Wan also looked at Mu Si'an, waiting for his answer.

Mu Si'an said: "The man died in the bathhouse used by the servants..."

Having said so much, its better to go and see it directly.

When a group of people passed by, Du Wan learned the specific details.

Feng Dahu was directly strangled to death with a rope from behind. The body was hidden in a large tub for fear of being discovered. It was also filled with water and weighed down with a large wooden basin.

There is a long wooden bench on top of the wooden basin.

If the little princess hadn't shouted from time to time, the searching officers and soldiers might have missed it carelessly.

Just because Du Wan specifically pointed it out, an officer and soldier moved the long wooden bench and the big wooden basin away during the search, only to find the body under the bucket. Wu Zuo came over to check and found that the time of death was no more than half an hour.

This is about the same time that the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City Division surrounded the Shangshu Mansion.
