Hanxiang shook her head anxiously: "Princess, all the maids were blocked outside the door just now. They didn't see anything."

"Go find it, go find it quickly!" Princess Kali became angry and pointed in the direction of the hall.

Hanxiang and Yingxiu quickly called the other maids and went to the hall to look for the bunch of letter paper. But even though they searched the hall, they found nothing.

Princess Jia Li's eyes suddenly darkened: "It's over, the letter must have been picked up by Ye Yuxiao and the others."

Hanxiang asked: "Princess, is there a signature on the letter?"

Princess Jia Li was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "I am really confused by the pain. There is no signature on the letter. Even if they pick it up, what does this princess have to fear?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on her face had not faded, but she frowned again: "There is no signature on the letter, so you don't have to worry about them checking it, but after reading the letter, they will definitely know about Mengxi Village. I was involved. No, Mengxi Village was not mentioned in the letter, so it cannot be used as proof of my false accusation, but they must have become suspicious in their own hearts..."

Princess Kali felt happy and worried at one time and kept talking about it over and over again until Hanxiang and Yingxiu applied the medicine on her.

In Prince Yingchuan's Mansion, Ouyang Sheng took out the paper ball from his sleeve as soon as he sat down.

Ye Yuxiao took it, unfolded it, and glanced at it: "This is a letter."

Ouyang Sheng half hugged her, and they read the letter together.

The content of the letter was both expected and somewhat surprising to them.

Ouyang Sheng said: "Princess Jiali really knows that the incident in Mengxi Village is a false accusation."

Ye Yuxiao said: "But Eunuch Wei guessed right. The deaths in Mengxi Village were not caused by Princess Jiali. There was someone else behind her."

As she spoke, she checked the letter paper repeatedly, but there was no signature or any logo on the letter paper.

Ouyang Sheng took the letter, looked at it carefully in the sunshine, heated it on the fire, and soaked it in a basin. However, the signature was still blank. "It seems that the person behind the scenes is very cautious. This letter may not have been written by him himself." Ouyang Sheng threw away the letter in disappointment and said to Ye Yuxiao.

"At least we know that Princess Jiali is involved, and we also know that there is someone behind her." Ye Yuxiao comforted Ouyang Sheng.

Suddenly encountered a disaster, I can only look for the better. Ouyang Sheng hugged her, touched her belly, and kissed her forehead: "Don't be afraid, we will definitely prove your innocence."

Just as he was talking, Xiaozhan led the guards in and said that he had found the location of Mengxi Village. It was a small mountain village in Gyeonggi Province, not far from the capital, and he could run back and forth one day.

Ouyang Sheng immediately stood up and said, "I will go and find out personally."

Ye Yuxiao said hurriedly: "You can't go like this. If the officials see us, they will definitely say that we are guilty of committing crimes."

Ouyang Sheng thought for a while and said, "Human skin mask?"

Good idea, you can't go as King Yingchuan, you can still dress up in disguise. Ye Yuxiao let Xiao Zuan help him stand up and personally took out the human skin mask for him.

Ouyang Sheng took it and took a look, but there were two pieces, one for a man and one for a woman. He looked at the human skin mask in his hand in surprise, and then looked at Ye Yuxiao: "You want to go too? Your big belly cannot be covered by the human skin mask. Besides, the journey is long, and you can't bear the bumps. .”

"I won't go. No matter how strong I am, I can't be stronger than these two in my belly. I don't want to give birth to them halfway." Ye Yuxiao touched her belly with one hand and took the woman's human skin mask with the other and said, "Give this to Sister Dai and ask her to follow you. She is the professional in surgery. I'm afraid you won't be able to tell the difference when you get to Mengxi Village."

It is said that surgery has specialization. In the field of surgery, Ouyang Sheng did not dare to show off, and immediately responded: "I will order someone to call her."

Dai Peilan quickly arrived at Yingchuan Prince's Mansion and listened to Ouyang Sheng and Ye Yuxiao tell what happened. Although this matter was reported to Ye Yuxiao, in fact, all the medical clinics under her name were in disaster. Dai Peilan was so worried that he picked up the human skin mask and stuck it on his face, demanding that he rush to Mengxi Village immediately to investigate the situation.

Ye Yuxiao quickly stopped her and said, "You can't disguise yourself from Yingchuan Prince's Mansion, otherwise you may still be discovered."

Ouyang Sheng said to Ye Yuxiao: "Teach Miss Dai how to use the human skin mask, and ask Miss Dai to disguise herself after returning to Mingche Medical Center. There are many people in Mingche Medical Center, even if there is an unfamiliar face, it will not matter. It’ll be eye-catching.”

After he finished speaking, he said to Dai Peilan: "I will also find another place to disguise myself. When everything is ready, I will leave the city from the north gate, you will leave the city from the west gate, and we will meet at the tea shed two miles away from the north gate."

Ye Yuxiao and Dai Peilan both agreed and went to teach human skin masks.

Ouyang Sheng and Dai Peilan were both anxious and moved extremely quickly. In less than an hour, the two people in disguise had met at the tea shed two miles away from the north gate and continued heading north together.

Arriving at Mengxi Village, Ouyang Sheng found a secret place, disguised himself again with Dai Peilan and all the guards, and all worked overtime to look like officials.

Ouyang Sheng explained to Dai Peilan: "Only official officials are the most convenient. Otherwise, even if they arrive in Mengxi Village, there will be no way to examine the corpses one by one."

Dai Peilan pointed to herself: "But, I am a woman. Can a woman be an official?"

"Originally I wanted you to dress up as a man, but if someone recognizes you, it won't look good." Ouyang Sheng said, "When we get to Mengxi Village, I will tell you that you are a newly hired widow from the government, so they won't be suspicious. "

In the Xi Dynasty, although there were few female widows, they were not absent. Dai Peilan felt that this status was quite suitable and nodded in agreement.

After transforming into official servants, the group found Mengxi Village smoothly. It was evening, and the setting sun was like blood, covering the entire mountain village. The smell of blood floated in the air, and faint cries could be heard in the ears, which seemed particularly penetrating.

There was a thatched house at the entrance of the village, and the body of an old woman was parked in the house. Four or five people gathered around the body, wiping their tears and crying sadly.

Ouyang Sheng and Dai Peilan walked into the house, claiming that they were official servants and came to inspect all the corpses in Mengxi Village.

The common people of the Xi Dynasty had a natural fear of official duties. The five people did not dare to ask anything and immediately left the hall to facilitate Dai Peilan, the widow, to conduct an autopsy.

While Dai Peilan was conducting the autopsy, Ouyang Sheng stood outside the house, looking businesslike, and asked the five people: "Who is that old woman in the house of yours?"

The old man with white hair and beard answered him: "Master Cha, she is my wife."

"How did you die?" Ouyang Sheng asked again.

The old man looked confused: "Master Cha, haven't you already asked about this matter?"

Was it the person the emperor sent earlier who asked? Ouyang Sheng didn't panic at all, and his tone became more severe: "After asking once, you can't ask again?!"
