Chapter 159 Corpse in the Lake

Gong Ping was originally proud of his wit and blamed Xie Yidao for everything, but now he looked at Ling Chu with an incomprehensible expression.

He originally felt that Ling Chu was a bit evil, but seeing her suddenly talking to herself in the deserted air made him feel even more uneasy for some reason.

Ning Chuyi and Wei Feng didn't find it strange, and they all guessed that Ling Chu must have seen the puppet soul again.

Although Eunuch Liu didn't quite believe that Xie Yidao was responsible for dropping the jade, he decided to send someone to retrieve Xie Yidao after listening to Gong Ping's words.

Regardless of whether he did it or not, if such a big thing happened in the workshop, everyone must be interrogated.

"Come, go to Xie Yidao's house and bring him back to me."

"Wait a minute." Ling Chu suddenly spoke to stop him.

Although Eunuch Liu didn't know Ling Chu, he had already heard that this person was invited by Lord Ning, and it was thanks to her that the jade items were found.

Although he didn't know why Ling Chu wanted to stop him, Eunuch Liu still said in a gentle manner, "What's the matter, girl?"

"Eunuch Liu, Xie Yidao is not in his hometown."

"What, Xie Yidao is not in his hometown? Does this...does this girl know where he is?"

Unlike Eunuch Liu's surprise, Gong Ping suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

Originally, everything in the workshop was under his control, but since Miss Ling appeared, things began to escape his control.

Ling Chu nodded to Eunuch Liu, "I do know where Xie Yidao is."

Gong Ping looked at Ling Chu with a suspicious face, and kept comforting himself in his heart, not to get into trouble. How could this girl know the whereabouts of Xie Yidao.

As soon as he finished comforting himself, Gong Ping saw Miss Ling suddenly reaching out and pointing down the slope, "Xie Yidao is right there."

The people present subconsciously looked in the direction of her finger and couldn't help but be confused.

Where is Xie Yidao's figure down the slope?

Ning Chuyi, on the other hand, was looking thoughtfully at the Lotus Lake down the slope.

Eunuch Liu didn't see Xie Yidao, so he was instinctively unhappy, thinking that Ling Chu was talking nonsense.

But he was someone who had been infected for many years in the big dye vat in the palace. When he saw the lotus leaves swaying in the lake, he quickly thought of something.

His face suddenly became ugly.

"The girl is saying...Xie Yidao is in that lake?"

Ling Chu nodded, Eunuch Liu was not too stupid.

"This, Mr. Ning..." Eunuch Liu's face became increasingly uglier. Under his management, not only did jade items get swapped out at Jinxiu Yuzhen, but there were also murders.

The position he is in charge of is probably about to be taken down.

"Come here, go down to Lianhu Lake and search." The emperor handed over the thorough investigation of the workshop to Ning Chuyi. Now that he knew something happened to the sculptor, he couldn't ignore it.

"Wait a minute!" Just when Wei Feng was about to lead people into the lake to search, the second prince suddenly spoke.

"Miss Ling, you and Xie Yidao are not related, so how do you know that he is not in your hometown, but you said that he is in the lake?

Even if you are not talking nonsense, as far as I know, this is your first time coming to Jinxiu Yuzhen, so how do you know so many things? "

As soon as the second prince finished speaking, the royal guards all looked at him.

The second prince's face darkened. Why did he think the looks in those guards' eyes were saying that he was ignorant?

Just when he thought about this, he saw Miss Ling flipping her wrist toward him, and there were a few copper coins in her white palm.

"I figured it out."

The second prince frowned and finally understood that what she said was calculated using hexagrams.

"Nonsense! Does the girl think she is a god? She can know the past and the future with just a few coins!"

Ling Chu paid no attention to the second prince. Whether it was nonsense or not, he would soon know.

"The southwest corner." Those few were about to leave the Hu Jinyi Guards. Knowing that Ling Chu was telling them the location of the body, they hurriedly thanked them, "Thank you, girl."

The lake was full of silt, so it was not easy to search. Miss Ling told them the specific location directly, but it saved them a lot of time.

Soon the Jin Yiwei who went down to the lake found Xie Yidao's body in the mud and carried him ashore.

Gong Ping's heart was like a thunder drum, and he suppressed his panic and walked out calmly.

Ling Chu had promised to help Xie Yidao expose Gong Ping's crimes, so how could he let him escape.

With a wave of his hand, the small hammer hit Gong Ping's hind leg.

Gong Ping made a splash and fell down instantly.

"Miss Ling, Gong Ping is the steward appointed by the emperor. You hurt him and delayed the work of the workshop. Can you afford it?"

The second prince's eyes were cold. This girl had ruined his affairs many times and deserved to die.

Ling Chu looked directly at the second prince, "Gong Ping killed Xie Yidao..."

Gong Ping's face changed drastically, and he interrupted Ling Chu's words hastily, "You are talking nonsense, I was wronged. I have no grudge against Xie Yidao, why should I kill him!"

"You used the threat of Xie Yidao's family to force him to imitate the jade articles made by Master Tian and others with inferior jade.

While Eunuch Liu was drunk, he stamped the warehouse key on his body, exchanged the batch of high-quality jades made by Master Tian and others, and then killed Xie Yidao.

They even sent people to kill all of Xie Yidao's family members in order to eliminate the root cause. "

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't kill anyone. I didn't kill Xie Yidao."

"That's not all you did. You forced Xie Yidao to carve the jade objects in the stepping stone for you.

Also, you secretly turned many high-quality jadeite rough stones into scraps, and then hid them in the lake, intending to carry them out in a bucket. "

Gong Ping originally thought that the things he did in private were done secretly, but he didn't expect that Miss Ling knew everything clearly, which shocked him.

"You are slandering me, I am innocent, you are talking nonsense..."

He really didn't cry until he saw the coffin.

Ling Chu suddenly waved his hand, and the small hammer hit the rockery made of jade waste in the distance.

After a loud bang, an inconspicuous piece of waste rolled down from the rockery.

"Sir Ning, there is Xie Yidao's suicide note and account book hidden in that piece of jade raw stone."

Gong Ping was shocked and pale in an instant.

The second prince's face was black, Xie Yidao was really damnable, and he even secretly made an account book.

Just as he was about to signal the guards to destroy the account book, Ning Chuyi glanced at Yin Sha.

Yin Sha flashed and took the suicide note and account book in his hands first.

Xie Yidao wrote down in his suicide note that Gong Ping threatened him with his family and forced him to forge jade. The account book recorded Gong Ping's embezzlement, false reporting, and forged jade.

"Sir Ning, Gong Ping's false reporting of the top-quality raw stones was hidden under the lotus in the middle of the lake."

"Wei Feng."

After receiving Ning Chuyi's instructions, Wei Feng immediately led people down to the lake.

It didn't take long for them to dig out twenty or thirty pieces of jade raw stones of various sizes.

Everything was ruined, Gong Ping's face was ashen, and he subconsciously looked at the second prince, wanting to beg him to save himself.

A useless person who can't do anything but ruin things ruined his big plan, how dare he ask for help.

The second prince gave a look to the guard next to him.

The guard nodded, suddenly rushed out, and before everyone could react, he raised his knife and fell...
