236. Chapter 236 23 Palace Murder Incident! 【6】

Someone keenly noticed that the smell was emitted from the well. Several palace maids stepped forward to check, and it was too late to Ning Ling wanted to stop it. In an instant, screams and vomited one after another. The palace maids were so scared that they fell to the ground, constantly retching, and even vomiting bile. Seeing their appearance, the others seemed to realize something. They retreated one after another, and did not dare to step forward. Until the eunuch in charge came and asked someone to catch the things in the well.

It was a bloody corpse, with its outer skin completely peeled off its body, leaving only the inner muscles and blood vessels. In addition, it was soaked in water, emitting a stinking smell and bloody smell that people want to vomit!

The people around him either closed their eyes or turned around and did not dare to look at the thing. Some people had already escaped from afar. Only Ning Ling, Luo Yue, Lian Xing and a few people whose legs and feet were weak and could not move at all.

That was the first time Ning Ling saw a skinned body. When the case occurred in previous years, she had not yet entered the palace. When the corpse was found a few times, she was not present and did not really see the body. This time, she saw that the body was indeed peeled off. She must have been peeled off even when the deceased was still alive!

The eunuch in charge asked someone to bring a bundle of straw mats, wrap the body, throw it out, and then loudly ordered the palace maids not to spread the matter everywhere. Although this matter has long been known to everyone, as long as it is not passed to the emperor and outside the palace, it would be great.

Ning Ling sneered, it was indeed a bureaucratic attitude. If others did not know about such a thing, and if they were not prepared as soon as possible, there would only be more and more people who died. Of course, perhaps for them, dying such a palace maid was like dying an ant, which was simply insignificant.

"Wait a minute," Luo Yue, who had been by Lianxing, suddenly stepped forward and stopped the guard who was carrying the straw mat and preparing to leave. "Master General Manager, since the skinning murderer committed the crime, nearly a hundred palace maids have died so far. If the lord sit still, there will be more and more people who will die. Is the lives of us servants like ants in the eyes of the lord, and aren't worth it?"

This made the voice of most people around him. As long as the murderer was not arrested for a day, everyone would have to be worried and tremble, fearing that they would become the next victim. The days in this palace were like walking on thin ice, how could they live in the future?

The eunuch in charge looked at Luo Yue, and a fierce light flashed through his eyes! He spoke coldly: "We are already investigating this matter. You little bitch, you dare to ask about the major affairs of the palace. You are impatient to live. Come on, take her down."

"Stop," Ning Ling stepped forward, "She was just telling the truth. The general manager couldn't wait to arrest people so impatiently. Could it be that he wanted to kill someone to silence him?" She stared at the old eunuch in front of her coldly. For a moment, she clearly saw a trace of panic flashing in the other party's eyes. A thought flashed through her mind, but it disappeared suddenly, so quickly that she didn't catch her.

"You... are so arrogant..." The eunuch in charge was furious and pointed at Ning Ling, "Catch them together."

"The Chief Manager is indeed related to the skinning murderer. Otherwise, why don't you catch the murderer, but instead catch innocent people." Luo Yue raised her voice, "Can you be the skinning murderer?"

The people around him were suddenly in an uproar, and all kinds of questioning eyes came to the eunuch in charge, but they didn't dare to say it because of the other party's identity, but their eyes were already full of suspicion.

The eunuch in charge was furious and was about to speak when a cold voice sounded: "What's going on?"

"Long live the emperor!" As soon as he saw the visitor, the eunuch and the palace maids and guards around him hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Let them go!" The visitor glanced around and landed on Ning Ling and Luo Yue who were caught.

The guards did not dare to disobey the orders, so they had to let go of the two of them. The old eunuch was unwilling to accept it, but he did not dare to speak in front of the sage.

"What are your names?" Li Yuanhao walked to Luo Yue and Ning Ling.

"I, Luo Yue," Luo Yue knelt down on the ground, "I, my sister is also one of the victims. I ask the emperor to take charge of me and severely punish those who cover up this matter." After saying that, he glared at the old eunuch fiercely.

"Oh!" Li Yuanhao glanced at the old eunuch, and a sneer appeared inexplicably on the corner of his mouth, which made the old eunuch frightened and dared not look up. "Is what she said true?"

The chief manager kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, please spare me. I saw that you have a lot of trouble, so I did not report this matter. The emperor forgives me."

"So you are so deceiving your superiors and concealing your subordinates, and taking your lives apart." Li Yuanhao sneered, "Come on, drag this dereliction of duty and beat him to death!"

The manager was shocked and begged for mercy, but he could not change his holy intention and was dragged down with a ghost crying and howling.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give your sister an explanation to all the victims." Li Yuanhao nodded to Luo Yue, and turned his eyes to Ning Ling beside him, "What's your name?"

Ning Ling raised her head and looked at him. She made a decision in her heart, and decided to gamble...

"Ling Shuanghua!"
