Chapter 6435

"Aren't you angry? Tonight is equivalent to nothing." Meng Huo felt that he had arranged it very carefully, but he didn't expect that there were still omissions.

"What's the use of being angry? It's better to sleep first, and then talk about it after waking up and eating. Besides, it's not that there is no gain at all. Isn't there a corpse? There will always be someone who knows him, unless he jumped out of a rat hole." Ping An pulled him to sleep quickly.

Meng Huo was relieved when he heard her say that, and the two of them slept together.

The next day, when the two woke up, it was almost noon. After washing up, Ping An immediately asked someone to send food in.

"Prince, Miss, Concubine Chu and the others have been waiting for a whole morning and want to pay you respects." Shui'er reported to the two.

"Tell them that the prince and I are fine, let them go back, I'm hungry now, and I don't have time to see them." Ping An has already started eating.

Letting the three of them in, it is estimated that there will be a lot of nonsense. Is he eating or talking?

So, it's better to drive them away first.

Meng Huo has no objection. He didn't want to see any woman other than her.

After eating and drinking, Meng Huo had to go to Shuntian Prefecture to ask about what happened last night. Ping An also insisted on following him, so he could only let her change into a guard's outfit and follow him.

After the two arrived at Shuntian Prefecture, the prefect came to pick them up in person and told them about what happened yesterday. The female thief was particularly cunning and soon got rid of the officers and soldiers chasing her.

The man's body was still parked inside. Meng Huo followed in and saw the body covered with a white cloth.

Someone pulled the white cloth away, revealing the man's face. The man looked very ordinary, with slightly dark skin. He didn't look like the kind of person who was spoiled. He was the kind of person who couldn't be found if thrown into a crowd.

"Does anyone know him?" Meng Huo asked.

"Not yet."

"You parked him here, and you still expect someone to come and identify the body?" Ping An asked speechlessly.

The prefect looked at her, and Meng Huo said, "What do you have in mind?"

"Hang the man on the city wall, and then reward a hundred taels. Don't worry, there will be news soon."

Meng Huo thought it was feasible after hearing it.

The prefect felt that something was wrong, fearing that it would make people think it was cruel.

"Publicize what this man and that woman did, and see if everyone feels happy or cruel." Ping An was really impressed by this ancient official, whose head seemed to be filled with paste.

"Let's do it this way, post the reward in the afternoon and hang the person." Meng Huo ordered, and the prefect immediately did it even if he didn't listen.

In fact, the emperor didn't let the eighth prince take care of this matter, but only gave it to him. He was so worried that he was dying. Now that the eighth prince was willing to take the lead, he was of course happy.

As expected, someone recognized the man before night.

It turned out that he was a clerk of a merchant in Kyoto City.

He rented a small courtyard in Kyoto City.

Shuntian Prefecture immediately went to the small courtyard to get the man, but it was empty, and there was no one in the courtyard.

Then the merchant and all the clerks in the merchant were brought back for questioning.

During the questioning, Meng Huo and Ping An were also there.

Finally, the boss of the merchant said that this man was not from Kyoto. He once went to the south to pick up goods and passed by a place called Qiyun Mountain. He was robbed by bandits there and almost died. It was this guy who saved him.

At that time, the guy said that he had no relatives and wanted to follow him to Kyoto to do something, so the boss took him with him. After all, he was his lifesaver, and he could still do it just to give him a meal.
