Zheng Xing carefully examined the maid's body: "There are two bruises on her neck with different depths. They should have been strangled. After the strangulation, the murderer hung her body in the girl's room..."

She analyzed, but saw no reaction from Pei Daozhu.

She looked.

Pei Daozhu lit a few lights, sat in front of the desk, and carefully laid paper and grind the ink.

Zheng Xing was stunned: "Girl, there is still a corpse in this room. You are too calm...What are you writing?"

"Write a letter to my second sister." Pei Daozhu picked up the wolf hair pen and dipped it in ink, "I want to ask something."

Her eldest sister married far away, with a slow carriage and horses in the distance, and had not returned to Jiankang for several years.

The "Pei girl" mentioned by the thief Taoist priest is probably her second sister Pei Daoxiang.

The second sister is the only person my father dared not provoke at home.

He looks cold and cold. He is twelve years old and doesn't like flowers and plants. Although he is a daughter's house, he always follows the Taoist Taoist from Wuyi Lane before he can even go to the Taoist temple in the mountains to practice. His family can't stop him.

Pei Daozhu wrote questions on the paper and carefully sealed the envelope: "The address was still many years ago, and I don't know if the Taoist temple is still there... If it is not here, the world is so big, where should I find her?"

The rain hits the banana leaves outside the window.

Zheng Xing held her little face melancholy: "Girl, look at the body quickly. What should we do now? You can't hide her in the house all the time and let her get moldy and smelly?"

Pei Daozhu turned around.

She stared at the maid's body and rubbed her forehead in annoyance.

When Ah Niang married into the general's mansion, she thought she could live a rich and leisurely life from now on, but she didn't expect that she would have to deal with the corpse now, and she was the first among the gentry girls in Jiankang City.

She ordered: "Hide under the couch first, and tomorrow I will ask the Baopingzhai people to come in quietly through the back door and send them to the outside to bury."

Pillow Star: "…"

She watched Pei Daozhu go to wash and change clothes, and then looked at the corpse on the floor, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

Hidden under the couch...

Can her girl sleep peacefully at night?

The next day.

After all, Wei Chaolu was just a deep-rooted girl. Her death did not cause a stir in the whole city, but became a topic of conversation for the people after dinner.

However, the uneasy haze quietly enveloped all the aristocratic families.

Gu Xian was worried about Pei Daozhu, so she couldn't help but reminded her during lunch: "It's better to go out less in the past few days. The general's mansion has many guards who can protect Ananda in a good manner."

Pei Daozhu nodded with her eyebrows and eyes: "Thank you, my mother, I will be careful."

Aunt Kang served Gu Xian for food and sighed: "I heard that the Wei family was in a mess. Mrs. Wei was in pain when she lost her daughter in middle age. She was seeking death in the mansion last night. Before dawn today, she suddenly ran to the Qinhuai River and said she was looking for her daughter, but she seemed to be crazy."

Pei Daozhu ate bird's nest soup quietly.

Somehow, she didn't feel much distressed even though she was obviously her aunt.

Just as he was wondering if he was too affectionate, Gu Xian turned his head and said, "On the day Wei Chaolu was buried, I will accompany you to the Wei Mansion to pay condolences. After all, it is your cousin, and it should be your last trip."

Pei Daozhu nodded meekly: "Yes, my mother."

Gu Xian touched her head with relief: "Anandao is good in everything, kind-hearted, obedient, well-behaved and obedient. Who in the world wouldn't like us little Ananda?"

Pei Daozhu leaned softly on Gu Xian's shoulder, and said in a coquettish tone and intimate manner: "My mother..."

Zheng Xing lowered his head silently, and he was simply invisible.

She thought so before, but later the girl's series of behaviors completely overturned her cognition.

Kind heart, follow the rules, behave well and obedient?

It doesn't exist!

Her girl is a woman who can hide someone else's body under the couch for the night!

It's night.

Pei Daozhu and his family fell asleep before taking the pillow star and quietly left the back door of the general's mansion.

The backdoor's mother was bribed by her early in the morning and left the door in advance.

The shopkeeper of Baopingzhai also sent a carriage to pick him up in the alley. Seeing the master and servant coming out, he took them straight to the Rouge Wharf of Qinhuai River.

Rouge Wharf is the place with the strongest powdery smell in the Qinhuai River. There are countless golden painted red boats moored along the river. Some high-ranking officials and nobles are looking for fun on their own boats, and there are also building boats that serve as a place of romance.

The carriage stopped slowly.

Pei Daozhu helped Zheng Xing's men get off the carriage.

Although it was nearly three o'clock in the morning, hundreds of pleasure boats were still brightly lit, and various musical instruments played the sound of delicacies, floating on the colorful river surface with the beautiful and soft singing of the singers.

The river wind brings not the fragrance of reeds or the smell of fishy rivers, but the strong fragrance of powder.

Pei Daozhu took a deep breath and said softly: "Where is the pleasure boat I want?"

The shopkeeper of Baopingzhai respectfully pointed at a distance: "That is the pleasure boat that the girl wants, a small cargo ship bought in the name of Baopingzhai. Later, it was carefully transformed into a pleasure boat overnight. When it is dawn tomorrow, it will be converted back to the cargo ship, and no one will suspect that it will be on the girl's head."

Pei Daozhu looked at it.

The small pleasure boat stopped by the water.

The hull is exquisitely painted with red paint, several expensive pearl lamps are lit, and fine purple bamboo curtains are hanging from all sides. Under the curtain, the blue robe robe can be seen vaguely exposed. Xiao Rong has arrived.

Pei Daozhu touched the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

The dagger was chilling, just like her heart.

She whispered: "Take me on the boat."
