"He died a year ago. Someone used a secret method to seal his soul in his body and became an unconscious walking corpse. What supported him during this year was revenge. It was the blood feud of Princess Pingyang.

"If you don't believe it, take it back to the Yamen and let them do an examination and you will know."

"Who saved him?" asked a golden gong.

Hengyuan shook his head.

The Jin Luo and Yang Yan and others looked at each other and said, "Where is the body of Princess Pingyang? Take us there."

After a pause, he ordered the silver gongs around him: "Send Heng Hui's body back to the Yamen."

Several gold gongs escorted Hengyuan out of the small courtyard, gave him a horse, and the group left the city in a mighty manner.

Xu Qian was riding on the horse, feeling a little heavy. He was speechless for a long time, and after a long time he whispered: "Is that Hengyuan? Is it possible that it was taken away or controlled?"

The gray cat lying on his shoulder said lazily: "It's Hengyuan, yes. Ha, although I can't look at the air, I still have my own way of distinguishing the true from the false."

"Is Henghui really dead?" Xu Qian didn't quite believe it.

"His life and death is not the key to the case," Gray Cat whispered: "He himself is a puppet, and the magic hand is gone. To the people behind the scenes, his life and death is no longer important. You should be happy that the case has been solved.

It’s easier than you think.”

"I really can't be happy. Princess Henghui and Pingyang Princess are both pitiful people." Xu Qian twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile without a hint of smile.

He sighed and changed the subject: "There are problems with Henghui's case. It's like the people behind the scenes deliberately pushed it to the forefront."

.....

At the junction of Taikang County and Changle County, somewhere in the barren mountains, Hengyuan was trekking and looking around, as if he was looking for something.

The process was inefficient and slow. He told the golden gongs that Henghui only gave him the general location and told him that Princess Pingyang was buried at the root of an old locust tree where three people were hugging each other.

The gold gongs and silver gongs spread out with Hengyuan as the center, guarding him in the center to prevent him from escaping.

Half an hour later, they found the old locust tree. The three silver gongs chopped down the shrubs and weeds under the locust tree. They used their sabers as shovels and dug for a while. White bones were vaguely exposed in the black soil.

"Sir, we found it." Yinluo turned around and shouted excitedly.

"Dig it out!" Nangong Qianrou said in a deep voice.

The bones of Princess Pingyang were exposed to the public little by little. After more than a year, she finally reappeared.

The flesh and blood had rotted away, leaving only a white skeleton with tattered strips of cloth attached to it, which should have been the clothes he wore before his death. In addition, a dull gold hairpin was found between the throat and chest and abdomen of the corpse.

Just as Hengyuan said, she committed suicide by swallowing the hairpin.

"Amitabha." Hengyuan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, closed his eyes, and recited the Buddha's name sadly.

"There is nothing else to prove that this corpse must belong to Princess Pingyang." Jiang Lvzhong frowned.

"This is normal." While the golden gongs were pondering, Xu Qian walked to the locust tree and said: "Princess Pingyang is eloping with her lover. She will definitely need to disguise herself. She will not bring any valuables with her to attract the attention of others.

"Let's bury the body first and take it back to the Yamen. Then send someone to inform Prince Yu's Mansion. Prince Yu may recognize this golden hairpin."

After burying the bones, everyone walked towards the outside of the mountain. Jiang Lvzhong patted Xu Qian's shoulder: "Well done."

Yang Yan, who didn't like to talk, nodded slightly and said for the first time: "You are the first to contribute to this case. Even if the Sangbo case is not found out in the end, His Majesty will probably absolve you."

Xu Qian was about to speak when he felt as if a knife had been slashed across his back.

He didn't need to look back to know that the sharp gaze came from Zhu Jinluo.

ps: I can wrap up the Sangbo case today. Phew, I feel relieved.
Chapter completed!
