Pei Gu wanted to explain a few words, but Han Sanqian was very indifferent, standing quietly and waiting.
He believed that it was absolutely impossible for the second elder to still be in the main city.
Sure enough, just ten minutes later, the old princelings who rushed out just now came back with their heads lowered one by one.
"I know, you guys really want to slap me in the face, but unfortunately... you don't have such a chance, Second Elder, you shouldn't be able to bring it, right?" Han Sanqian sneered softly.
"The second elder is the elder of the Pei family. He is busy with official business on weekdays. Do you think you are as busy as you are?"
"He's bound to go out now, and you don't have to be too proud. When he comes back, it will be the day we slap you in the face."
A few people were still not soft-mouthed, and they insisted on replying to Han Sanqian.
Han Sanqian smiled and looked at Pei Gu: "Patriarch Pei, it's already obvious."
"Three thousand, please enlighten me."
Han Sanqian pointed to the suspended platform with one hand and said, "I have observed all around. There are high walls all around, and there are guards standing guard outside the main entrance. Anyone who wants to enter the mourning hall to steal corpses is almost like a dream."
"The floating board, although it looks like a decoration, is actually a hiding place for thieves."
"During the day, when people weren't paying attention, he hid on it, and when the time was right, he got out of it and stole the body away."
"You can even send someone to check. I believe that there must be his footprints on that board."
With a wave of Pei Gu's hand, a few cronies immediately rushed over with a few soldiers.
It didn't take a while to hear the cronies who climbed up shouting from the inside: "Footprints are indeed found on it."
"The murderer, that is, the second elder, actually wanted to take Pei Hu's body out from the very beginning, but it's not easy for him to start because there are many people in Lingtang."
"So, before setting up the mourning hall, he already found a hiding place for himself in advance."
Hearing Han Sanqian's words, and then contacting the current evidence, even those hard-mouthed people were all silenced at this time, unable to refute for a while.
"Second elder...he...how could he do such a thing?"
"He really used us to steal the son's body?"
Han Sanqian smiled: "Because there are many people guarding the mourning hall, and he steals the corpse quietly, so we haven't noticed it for a long time with the corpse."
"I thought about it for a while, and it is very likely that he came out of the city last night."
"Immediately send someone to the city gates to find out the records of the city." Pei Gu ordered.
"Hold on, by the way, let the people from the city gates go all the way north to chase. I believe that the second elder with Pei Gongzi's corpse must be heading towards the route that the Mingyu troops evacuated." Han Sanqian added.
The subordinate glanced at Pei Gu, and Pei Gu nodded.
"Brother Pei must be very strange, why is it in that direction? Or, did you suddenly think of something while being strange?" Han Sanqian looked at him with a smile.
Looking at Han Sanqian's eyes, Pei Gu was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he suddenly thought of something: "You mean, the death penalty area?"
That's right, after the accident in the forbidden area of death, the Mingyu Department just sent troops to attack the main city of the Pei family.
Moreover, the marching speed of the Mingyu Department is still like a ghost.
All of this shows that the Pei family had a traitor, not only told Mingyu about the forbidden area of death at the first time, but even secretly planned a route to the main city.
In this way, they will be unknowingly, and they will arrive around the main city at the right time, so that the Pei family is almost completely annihilated in this catastrophe.
"Three thousand, you mean... the second elder is a traitor in the Pei family?" Pei Gu asked suspiciously.
Han Sanqian nodded and asked with a smile, "Could it be that Patriarch Pei doesn't think so?"
"Report!"
At this moment, an urgent shout resounded outside the hall again...
