Gu Nuoer and the others were planning to go to the backyard.
However, at this moment, a male slave from the villa who had been standing behind them suddenly turned around and ran away!
The guard was the first to notice and chased after him angrily: "Stop!"
The male slave was no match for the guards. He was pinned to the ground in a few moments and could not move.
The twelfth prince walked up to him, staring at the man with thick eyebrows and starry eyes, quite powerfully.
"Why are you running?"
The male slave struggled endlessly, but when he saw that he could not escape, he said sophistry: "I heard that there were corpses, and I was afraid!"
Gu Nuoer's beautiful eyes were shiny and moist, and her fair little face had a cold look on her face.
"You're just pretending. The reason why you want to escape must be related to the female corpse in the backyard."
The little girl waved her little hand domineeringly: "Hold him down and take him to the backyard together."
She wanted to see what was so fishy about it!
The male slave was escorted and followed everyone to the backyard.
Gu Nuoer then saw a pale and blue arm exposed in an abandoned mud pool near the back door.
Two guards from the Department of Punishment were standing by the pool.
Even in winter, the smell of rotten pool water and the smell of corpses are not pleasant.
The second prince frowned, moved his sleeves, stood directly behind his sister, and covered her mouth and nose.
"It's bad luck, don't smell it."
Gu Nuoer was a little curious.
Her voice boomed: "It's not like this villa has no owner. Why do those people want to hide the female corpse here instead of dragging it to a mass grave?"
The slave girl who had just spoken to Gu Nuo'er said at this time: "My former boss didn't come here often. He only came here occasionally to soak in the hot springs in winter."
"Zhuangzi is too big and there are not enough manpower. Some of the courtyards and ponds for enjoying the scenery have long been abandoned and have not been taken care of. This mud pond used to be a lotus pond and has been left alone for two years."
Gu Nuoer nodded understandingly.
She turned her dark eyes and looked at the male slave being held captive.
The little girl pursed her lips and smiled brightly, with a beautiful temperament.
"I think you ran so fast because you did something bad. Well, let me guess, was it you who killed this female corpse?"
The male slave's eyes suddenly widened: "No! It wasn't the slave who did it!"
Gu Nuoer folded his arms and raised his chin slightly: "Do you believe me? You just wanted to run away. I think it's better to take you and this female corpse to the government!"
The male slave was completely panicked now.
He originally wanted to trick him into using excuses.
Unexpectedly, he was directly charged with murder!
When sent to the government, your head will be lost!
At that moment, the male slave knelt on the ground and begged.
"Your Highnesses, please spare the slave. This woman's death really has nothing to do with the slave!"
Gu Nuoer snorted: "Then what do you know, why don't you tell me quickly?"
Only then did the male slave tell everything.
It turned out that he had always thought that the money he earned at Zhuangzi was not enough. After being introduced by an acquaintance, a job suddenly came to him.
He was given a high reward, but he was asked to dispose of a corpse!
The male slave was afraid, but the reward was really quite large, so he gritted his teeth and agreed directly.
"The person who gave the slave money was wearing a bamboo hat. The slave didn't even see what he looked like. He only knew that he was a woman."
"She said, let me not take this body to the mass grave yet, for fear that someone will find out, and let me find another place and bury it casually!"
"The slave then thought of dragging him into the village first. After all, the former boss doesn't come here often. There are few people in the village, so he can hide it."
Gu Nuoer pouted: "That's all?"
The male slave kowtows: "Princess Mingjian, how can this slave dare to hide anything? I have confessed everything!"
