Zhao Bohu walked straight out from the door of the main house and walked in along a pebbly path. Uncle Mi came forward from the end of the path and asked in a low voice: "Time is in a hurry, and I only have time to sweep it roughly. Don't be surprised by the prime minister."

The group came to the wing room near the west side of the terrace house. There was no decoration inside, only a round low table, a short couch next to the table, a huge flower pot was set up by the window, and the mud and hay inside were withered, which seemed that no one had prepared for a long time.

Zhao Bohu looked at it roughly, and saw that the window was bright and the ground was spotless. He nodded and said, "It's just a thief in the family. After a while, it's good. Take the people up quickly."

Uncle Mi left, and after a while, he turned around and followed a group of people. Two men were holding a middle-aged woman with tied hands and feet. Behind were two mothers dragging a girl tied up. The men threw the woman to the ground and then kept her guard on both sides. The two women followed suit and threw the girl to the ground.

Looking closely, the girl was born with plump and graceful, and her pretty apricot eye was swollen, describing her intimate maid Ying Ji next to Meng Ji? As for the other woman rolling on the ground, she was her mother Ying Si, who was Meng Ji's dowry wet nurse.

Uncle Mi bowed and said, "Prince, the thieves inside and outside the Prime Minister's mansion have been cleaned up. The remaining two inner ghosts are left by the Prime Minister himself." As he said that, he bent down and pulled away the cloth stuffed in the girl's mouth: "Prince, please ask me!"

As soon as the cloth was pulled away, Ying Ji immediately burst into tears, and walked up to her knees and cried, "Prince, I'm wronged----------I asked Tao Qing about Shi Zi's whereabouts. I was going to find a safer place for the second wife------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Last night, at least three people saw you leading the thief to the back mountain, where was there a knife on your neck. I really couldn't cry without seeing the coffin!" Zhao Bohu brushed his sleeves in anger.

Ying Ji knew that this was a serious crime for the seller, but when she was in life and death, she couldn't help but feel lucky and said, "It was dark last night, maybe they all misread it?"

"Okay!" Zhao Bohu snorted coldly: "I'll tell you clearly today!"

He suddenly stood up, pointed to the garden that had been tortured by wildfires outside the window, and said slowly, "Last night, the servants either helped guard the house or protected their master. But what about you? You appeared in the back garden, and then looked for Tao Qing at the side door to inquire about the news, and then led the thieves to the back mountain to the sword hut. Why are you so busy? What are you doing?"

Ying Ji trembled and said with a weak confidence: "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is that true?" Zhao Bohu said coldly: "Then why did you tell the group of thieves that the fourth prince is also in the sword hut? You and Meng Ji have been in the backyard for so long. Don't you know that the emperor's father has left the mansion? Why did you deliberately attract the thieves and induce them to regard Shi Zi as the fourth prince?"

The question hit the bull's eye, Ying Ji twisted her body and instinctively said guiltily: "I----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Mom Tao has died under the sword of a thief!" Zhao Bohu's tone became more and more sharp: "Boyan was on duty outside the sword-making hut. He heard you tell the group of thieves that the Fourth Prince is inside. When the thieves were fighting with Uncle Mi, they also said goodbye and told the Fourth Prince to run away! Do you still dare to argue? Say, what is your intention to do with such deliberation?"

Ying Ji was at a loss when asked. Uncle Mi, who was standing beside him, said gloomyly: "Why should the Prime Minister talk to this little maid who almost hurt the little master? I hand it over to the old slave, remove her bones one by one, and keep what she said!"

Zhao Bohu waved his hand. After all, he was a noble literati who abides by the "Book of Zhou" and always had to be polite first and then soldiers.

However, Uncle Mi’s threat was quite effective. Ying Ji was frightened and bent her body like a spasm, moving desperately towards Zhao Bohu, shouting sharply: "Prime Minister, please spare me! I will no longer dare to deny it!"

"Then let's get it! Who is here to find you?"

Ying Ji bit her lip and said tremblingly, "I don't know where I am. Uncle Rong, who was looking at the back door, came to me a month ago. He said that someone outside wanted to inquire about the Fourth Prince and gave me a golden cake. But before I even started, I was separated in the backyard with the second wife, and there was no news at all!"

"Uncle Rong?" Uncle Mi was stunned: "He was burned to death in the back garden last night!"

Ying Ji was afraid that the fire in the back garden would fall on him, so she shouted loudly: "It's really him! Just as the chaos last night, he came to the yard to find me and said that the situation had changed and that someone could not open the door of the mansion. He went to the back garden to set the fire, and asked me to hurry up and ask me to find out the news about the fourth prince and go to the back garden to answer!"

Zhao Bohu heard something strange and asked, "Since that's the case, why don't you tell him that the fourth prince is no longer in the mansion. Instead, he deceived those thieves?"

Ying Ji was obviously guilty and pretended to be lowered and cried and stopped opening her mouth. Uncle Mi was impatient and raised Ying Ji's collar and shouted: "Don't you tell the truth, believe it or not, I broke your neck with a palm?"

Ying Ji was so scared that she was shattered and hurriedly said, "I changed my mind after listening to the second wife."

"What did she say?" Zhao Bohu grabbed the corner of the table and shook his body twice.

Ying Ji glanced at her mother Ying Si, as if she had received a approval, and then she said boldly: "When Uncle Rong came to me, the second wife had just stopped in pain and asked me what was going on. I didn't want to say it, but------" She glanced at Ying Si again and said, "The second wife promised me a lot of money, and I am a dowry servant, so the master said whatever the master said. She asked me to deceive the thieves and said that the fourth prince was in the mansion and led them to kill the son. In this way, even if the thief found out that he had killed the wrong person, he would not dare to say anything. Even if the lady survived, she would not have a son in the future. Everything in the prime minister's mansion would belong to the second wife and her son. At that time, you can have whatever you want-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shut up!" Zhao Bohu slapped the table violently, which scared Ying Ji's heart. He waved his hand, and Uncle Mi knew how to take off the cloth strip from Ying Si's mouth and asked, "You mother and daughter are family members of sinners. They were supposed to sell them together, but I blame me for being kind for a moment. Thinking of you, you are considered the bloodline of the Ji family. You allow you to linger in the mansion until now, and finally caused this disaster. Now that the serious crime is in front of you, you dare to implicate your master to pay the crime, which is really a matter of being a elbow."

"Uncle Mi! Drag these two girls down and kill them on the spot!"

"promise!"
