Then the official called another person's name.

After verifying your identity, stand aside.

Repeat this until the last person.

List the names that no one answers.

Pei Hao took this list and asked his confidant to get another one, which was the name of the servant from the Shangshu Mansion. After comparison, a male servant was not there, "Butler! Where is this person named Feng Dahu?"

"He, isn't he here?" The butler looked around in panic.

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

"The villain doesn't know, really. He still saw him during the day, so why aren't he here now?"

"Do you follow me into the palace?"

"It's impossible. With his low status, it's impossible to enter the palace with his masters. He is just a night-blooded person in the mansion..." The housekeeper felt bad, where did this harmful spirit go?

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

Suddenly, the whole audience was silent.

Pei Hao pointed at the butler again, "Bring him to me."

Two officers and soldiers stepped forward and rushed forward with the butler.

Pei Hao stretched out his hand to an official and "bring the portrait."

He never let someone show this group of people directly, just because he was afraid that something would be leaked.

At this time, there is clearly something wrong with the person not present.

Du Wan still holds the airs of a princess in front of others.

He quietly moved his footsteps and slipped to Pei Hao, "You said that the one we are absent is not what we are looking for, right?"

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

When the butler saw the portrait, he panicked for a moment, pointed at the portrait's fingers and still shivered, "Big, sir, this person looks a bit like Feng Dahu."

"really?"

"It's true, really. If you don't believe it, you can ask others."

“…”

Pei Hao really asked someone to ask, but after asking around, they all said it was Feng Dahu.

Du Wan didn't expect that catching people would have to go through twists and turns, "It's not that someone has already silenced him first."

Pei Hao held the portrait's hand and paused.

There is this possibility.

When Mu Si'an heard this, he immediately looked at Pei Hao.

Pei Hao immediately ordered: "I know what the person who left the mansion this afternoon is. There is no one named Feng Dahu. Therefore, this person must still be in the Shangshu Mansion. Even if the person dies, his body will be in the mansion."

"Yes! Search quickly, maybe the body is still fresh." Du Wan has experience in this matter.

No, I just saw similar... from TV and novels?

Du Wan also whispered to a group of searching officers and soldiers: "When searching, focus on the dry well, the bottom of the lake and the pond. Some wealthy families like to throw dead people into the wells, and like to tie people to stones and sink them to the bottom of the lake. By the way, if time is tight and there is no time to kill people and hide corpses, you can also search for the bottom of the bed, large wooden boxes, large water tanks and large bathtubs, which are easy to hide corpses."

Du Wan didn't know.

When she mentioned the big bathtub, a male servant on her knees was trembling very hard.

Pei Hao listened to the little girl in surprise.

Who told her about these evil things?

The family spoiled her so much that they probably wouldn't say this.

Pei Hao turned to the little girl, and there seemed to be a gossipy little maid, and she couldn't help but frown.

Next time I see my brother-in-law, I will remind you to avoid any dirty things, and let the servants talk nonsense to the little girl.

During the search, Pei Hao personally supervised it.

In addition, there was a little princess who was too lively, pointing here and there from time to time.

For a moment, the Minister of Rites' Mansion was barking.

It's really a mess and a dog barking.

The chicken cages raised in the kitchen in the mansion were overturned, and the dogs tied up barked non-stop.

At the same time, in the palace.

The people from the Murong family, the Minister of Rites, had already received the news that the mansion was surrounded by the Imperial City Department, and were almost scared to death.

Especially when the Minister of Rites heard this, he wiped his sweat and knelt down to the emperor in fear and apologized. He heard that Pei Hao came to the mansion to catch people with the imperial edict.

Shangshu Murong is not sure what the charge is, but it is absolutely right to apologize first.

The emperor looked at the Secretary of Murong who was kneeling below, his eyes dark and unlighted.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold? The amount that even the treasury has never existed.

Not only can the murderer be able to take it out, but he also uses it lightly to buy murderers.

Who is it?

Why has the treasury not saved the silver in a group of borers?

Didn’t they all be corruption away?!

Regardless of whether the murderer was Murong Shangshu or not, he would investigate thoroughly.

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

Just as the emperor thought.

There are many things in Murong’s mansion that contain dirt and dirt, which are common problems among wealthy families.

There are very few people in the entire capital that can be called clean.

And such a family is not worthy of praise or envy. The reason is that the population is not strong and there are few owners in the mansion. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, but there are only two or three kittens when the forest is small. Even if you want to make trouble at home, you can’t make trouble.

"Wow! Another corpse."

Du Wan said in surprise and was squatting not far from a dry well watching the fun.

It’s not that she didn’t want to get close, but that she was stopped by Pei Hao and did not allow her to go, for fear that she would be hit by dirty things and would have nightmares at night.

Du Wan still sympathizes with the dead, "Pei Shizi, you can ask the yamen to ask why, so you can't let people lose their lives if they are confused."

“Yes.”

Pei Hao still has a two-point understanding of the emperor's thoughts.

It's only for a while.

Seven corpses have been found in the Shangshu Mansion.

Two are in the dry well, and one is sinking at the bottom of the pond.

The remaining four were Du Wan passing by a relatively remote garden, and suddenly she wanted the officers and soldiers to dig the soil.

Experienced officers and soldiers actually dug up corpses from it...

Musian hurried over at this time, "Sir, I've found it."

"Where is it?" Pei Hao asked immediately.

Du Wan also looked at Mu Si'an and waited for his answer.

Musian said: "When a person dies, he is in the bath room used by his servants..."

If you say so much, it’s better to just go and see it.

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

Feng Dahu was strangled to death by a rope from behind. His body was hidden in a large bathtub, for fear that he would be discovered. He was filled with water and pressed with a large wooden basin.

There is also a long wooden bench pressed on the wooden basin.

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

Just because Du Wan pointed it out, a soldier who searched, moved the long wooden bench and moved the large wooden basin away, and found the body under the barrel. The coroner came over to check and died for no more than half an hour.

This is almost the same as the time when they surrounded the Shangshu Mansion.

Du Wan looked at Pei Hao, "Didn't you say the news has not been leaked?"
Chapter completed!
