Chapter 65 Vortex
How many people will be concerned about a female slave who died in the County Prince's Mansion? After the prince's man came to check, he made a conclusion that he would be forced to commit suicide. The Mongolian man committed suicide and carried the badge of the County Prince's Mansion, but none of the people inside and outside the County Prince's Mansion knew him.
The Saint is about to arrive in Bahrain, and this kind of man with a strange whereabouts appears. This is the reason why everyone in the royal palace is concerned. After careful investigation, he finally found some clues from a nervous concierge. He once used a waist card as collateral in the casino and borrowed money from two men. Later, he returned the money and took it back, but did not take this matter seriously.
Cao Yong was in a bad mood. Although he had been in this world for several years, he still could not despise others. Wen Xiu, a pitiful, weak, harmless woman to anyone, died in front of him. He was very angry. Think about it now. The tragedy that happened by the Kalaqin River a few days ago was just a part of a conspiracy. Even if the one who died at that time was not Prince Wuliji, there would be other people targeted by the murderer, and there was only one target, which was to falsely accused the prince. No matter how the investigation was conducted later, as long as half of them thought it was the prince's actions, the mastermind behind the scenes would be considered as achieving the goal.
Cao Yong was cautious and was not the kind of passionate young man, but watching the murderer succeeded like this made him feel extremely uncomfortable. Such an innocent woman died tragically because of her conspiracy. What kind of world is this?

The next day, Balin Right Banner, Duoluo County Prince's Mansion, and the back mountain.
Cao Yong sent some money and called a few servants in the mansion to carry Wenxiu's body to the back mountain. Since he agreed to send her home, he could not let her be buried alone in the grasslands in the northern part of the country.
Wenxiu was abducted at the age of five and entered the royal palace as a slave at the age of seven. He served as a low-level servant in the royal palace for ten years. Before leaving, only a teenage girl named Wu En came to see her off. Cao Yong recognized her, which was the little girl who only spoke Mongolian at the time, who had met in Rehe at that time.
Wenxiu's body was swallowed up by the fire bit by bit. Wuen almost cried and almost died. He was mumbled in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.
Cao Yong looked at everything in front of him and once again warned himself not to forget his promise to Wenxiu and to send her home. In addition, he didn't say anything, that was to take revenge. It was too high-sounding to say that revenge was just to protect himself. Now, the other party found Wenxiu with the tin wine pot left by the river, and no one guaranteed that he didn't find him. That night, he carried Wenxiu back to the camp and saw more than one or two people. Since he could chase a female slave thousands of miles away, there was no reason to let him go.
When Cao Yong thought of this, his originally angry heart became heavy. He really "walking by the river often, how can he not wear his shoes?" He was already a man with his tail between his legs and avoided power disputes. Unexpectedly, he still accidentally caused trouble. Although he lived for two lives, he still cherished his life. If someone had the idea of killing him, how could he be willing to wait for death?
The servants in the palace heard that Wu En cried miserably and were afraid that Cao Yong would like her to quarrel, so he explained from the side. Wu En was a slave of the palace. He died at the age of three or four. I married my wife again and didn't care about this daughter at all. She was all Mao Wuhen taking care of her for many years, and her relationship was inevitably deeper.
Cao Yong looked at Wuen, who was wearing coarse cloth clothes and cried in darkness. This is a portrayal of Wenxiu when she was a child! Her thin body and calluses were all over her hands, and she was never ending work and beating and scolding.
"Cao Yong, finally asked Ben Ge to catch you!" With a slight smug statement, Tana walked over with a horse whip in her hand.
Wuen, who was crying miserably just now, stopped immediately when he heard Tana's voice, his face full of panic, his little body shrank into a ball, and he shivered.
Cao Yong was not in the mood to pay attention to this arrogant princess. Thinking of the name she gave Wen Xiu, he couldn't help but take his anger towards her. Perhaps it was because he was a slave under her that Wen Xiu suffered more.
Seeing Cao Yong ignored him, Tana was about to get angry when she saw the fire in front of her, she pointed with a whip and said, "Is that the one that burns is the grime? It's just a slave, so why are you worth seeing!"
Cao Yong looked at Tana: "Grandpa, she has served you for ten years. Is she just a slave to you?"
Tana's face became a little more annoyed: "Isn't it a slave or something? I can't stand her like a jerk! A slave should understand her duties and pretend to be flattering me. I ignored her and went to coax Wuen. What kind of sister's poem is that she is a slave who doesn't know the rules at all!"
Cao Yong could imagine that scene. After being sold to the palace and assigned to Tana, he must have cared for this little master sincerely. Now that this man has passed away, he still wants to do something about this, and he feels very self-deprecating.
Tana arranged Wenxiu, as if she was very upset, and stamped her feet: "Cao Yong, go hunting with my princess! The Holy Lord will be in Bahrain in the past two days, and there will be no time at that time! That mushy girl Baoya is going to pester you again!"
"Prince, please find someone else. I'm going to wait to collect her bones!" Cao Yong replied without any grief or joy.
"What?" Tana screamed: "In the past, you were just not free. Today I came to find you specifically. You would rather wait here to collect bones for a slave than play with me! It's really too much. The servants in our mansion are not your turn to worry about it!"
Cao Yong was really not interested in slandering and didn't deal with Tana's words.
Tana became more and more angry, trembling all over her body, and pointed at Cao Yong and said, "I understand, why are you caring about this little bitch like this? When I sacrificed my purse for June, I heard people gossip that this little bitch was carried back by a man. Could it be that you were the one who could not?"
Seeing that Cao Yong did not deny this, Tana said to the servants of the Prince's Mansion: "Extinguish the fire for me, who would allow this little bitch to be cremated? Just drag it to the meadow to feed the wild dog!"
Those servants were used to Tana's tyranny and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Cao Yong turned his head and looked at Tana: "I have paid ten times the price of Wenxiu's body sale contract to redeem it from the housekeeper of your mansion. Now, she is not the slave of the princess, so she dare not bother the princess to worry!"
Although Cao Yong never gave him a good look when he saw Tana, he was so cold that he was now.
Tana murmured with tears in her eyes, "Why? I am not as good as Baoya, isn't even as good as a slave?"
Cao Yong is not a preacher, and he has no interest in comforting this little girl who regards human life as a mustard of grass.
Tana stood for a while, turned around and left with sobs.

Balin Right Banner, Duoluo County Prince's Mansion, and guesthouse.
After Cao Yong collected Wenxiu's skeletons, he returned to his room. The Sixteenth Prince had been waiting here for a long time.
What should come will come eventually, Cao Yong poured himself a cup of tea.
"What's going on?" The Sixteenth Prince was so serious: "I saw you in a bad mood last night and was too lazy to talk, so I didn't ask you. Who was the murderer? Did you mess with someone you shouldn't have to mess with?"
Cao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "How could he think of having something to do with me? Didn't he say I was just passing by?"
The sixteenth prince did not answer Cao Yong's words and said to himself: "I have checked it. Although the dead female slave is now called 'Mao Wuhen', two months ago, it was called 'Boer'. He is seventeen or eighteen years old and is thin. Isn't that person you are looking for? The murderer, I also went to see the murderer this morning. Although he was dressed in Mongolia, he may not be a Mongolian. He tried his best to get a badge and carefully smuggled into the county prince's mansion to tease a female slave? Who would believe this kind of nonsense! Did he come for you? Then 'Boer' was unfortunately implicated by you!"
Cao Yong didn't want to tell Prince Wu Liji about it, there was no need to let him worry. However, after what happened last night, he would not give up without asking. After being with Prince Liu for two months, Cao Yong knew that he was far more intelligent than he showed. Perhaps his carefree personality was to hide his wisdom. At present, since Prince Liu was already concerned, even if Cao Yong continued to conceal his concealment, he would continue to investigate according to clues. If he would alarm the enemy and alert the enemy, it would be no more worth the loss.
Cao Yong put down the teacup, looked into the eyes of the Sixteenth Prince, and asked, "Sixteenth Master, do you still remember the incident of Prince Wuliji? Cao Yong wanted to ask, do you believe the remarks of the Mongolian Vice President killing people for quarrels?"
After hearing this, the sixteenth prince shook his head and said, "It's just an explanation to the Mongolian kings. Only the simple Mongolians will believe it!" After saying that, he noticed something was wrong and looked at Cao Yong with a little confusion: "You are a little disrespectful to ask. Could it be that what happened yesterday was related to the death of Prince Wuliji?"
Cao Yong nodded and told the story of witnessing Wuliji's murder by the river near Kalaqin Camp.
The sixteenth prince's expression became more serious the more he heard it. After hearing it, he sighed helplessly, with a little more worry in his eyes: "According to you, they have found Bo'er, and maybe they will find you too. This is a problem! I will look for Urgon in a while and point out that such suspicious people must be under control before the arrival of the Holy Divine. No matter who it is, just in case, it is better to silence you so that you can avoid being dragged into the vortex!"
"Sixteenth Master, who thinks this is like?" Cao Yong was silent and asked.
The Sixteenth Prince shook his head: "It's hard to say, none of those people have clean hands. They are eager to pour sewage on the prince!"
