Jing Kui want to assume that now with his identity, even if these three people were together, they didn't dare to really search the house. They could only walk through the field. The truth was just as what he had expected, the soldiers of the house had only looked around in every yard, not even entering any house.
Jing Kui want to breathe a sigh of relief secretly. He is afraid that there won't be anything wrong with it. The beautiful concubine of the new place was still waiting for him in bed, so he told Jing Wenlan, who was a little stiff and standing beside him, "you stay here to watch. If there is nothing important, just wait for them to search..."
Hardly had his voice faded away, he heard a loud shout from the distance, "master, we found something here." The voice came from the yard where Jing Wenlan lived.
Jing Kui was stunned. He turn his head to look at his son in surprise. His face is pale and there are even beads of sweat on his son's forehead. He was shocked and frightened in his heart, and he walked quickly towards the yard of Jing Wenlan.
There was some peculiar smell in the night wind, and Jing Kui's face couldn't help but darkened. He quickened his pace and walked to the entrance of the yard, seeing a soldier knocking the back of an axe to the wall. Jing Kui could no help but frown. He remembered that wall. Jing Wenlan had said to him that the color of the wall faded a few days ago and he wanted to brush it again. He had agreed to it, but later he got no idea of what had happened then. "What's wrong with the wall?" Jing Kui want to calm down. And he walked over and asked in a deep voice with a calm look on his face.
The governor of the imperial city turned around, bowed to him and said softly, "there is a smell in the wall, and its color is different from other places."
"So what? The assassin can't possibly hide in a wall! I will not permit you... " Suddenly, several pieces of mud fell from the wall, and the rotten smell became very strong all of a sudden. Everyone looked at the wall, and saw a large part of the wall was empty. There was a woman standing there, pale faced, and there were already some freckles on her neck. It may be because she had been sealed from the air, so the rotten body was not very serious, and there was only a faint smell of the rotten body coming from the wall.
The imperial commander frowned and turned around to look at Jing Kui with suspicion, "isn't this Meng Jieyu in the palace? She had killed herself some days ago. Then the corpse suddenly disappeared. I've been investigating for several days, but I didn't expect that we would find it was hidden here."
Jing Kui was pale on his face all of a sudden, he turned his head, but he didn't see Jing Wenlan
at all. Then he hurridly said, "I have no idea what the hell had happened. I'm afraid that someone deliberately framed me. I don't know why she's here."
