[Deceased: Heng Hui]

[Cause of death: Sharp blade pierced the heart (old injury). 】

[Autopsy results: The flesh and blood and internal organs are black and purple, and there are corpse poisons walking among the flesh and blood to protect the body from decay. It is also a walking corpse, and the death time exceeds a year.]

[Dead: Unknown corpse]

[Height 5 feet 4 inches, female, well-proportioned bones, no fractures, no signs of poisoning, well-proportioned finger bones, not good at working...]

In the yamen, Xu Qian read the autopsy reports, exchanged them with his wife, and turned into the front hall next to the autopsy room.

Ten golden gongs gathered together, Wei Yuan sat at the top, drinking tea with a solemn expression.

Xu Qi'an walked behind Wei Yuan in silence, listening to the Jin Luo people arguing about the true identity of the female corpse and the connection between Princess Pingyang and the Sangbo case.

The case of Princess Pingyang has been initially concluded for now. I guess I won’t be able to get involved in the subsequent investigation... This involves the murder of a princess, which is not something that Tongluo like me can participate in.

But the Sangbo case is still unresolved... I wonder if my contribution to the Princess Pingyang case can offset my crime of being beheaded... If not, I will kill the uncle of Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty.

Just as I was cursing in my heart, an official stood at the door and said: "Wei Gong, gentlemen, King Yu is here."

King Yu is here... The golden gongs exchanged glances with each other, and then all looked at Wei Yuan.

The eunuch in green clothes with gray hair on his temples finished his last sip of tea, looked at the official, and said gently: "Prince Yu, please go to the autopsy room."

After saying that, he put down the cup, sighed, and went to the autopsy room first, followed by everyone in the side hall.

When they arrived outside the autopsy room, the Golden Gongs did not go in, but lined up on both sides of the door. Only Wei Yuan entered.

King Yu is here, and this sickly man walks over with an expressionless face. His face is obviously expressionless, but it seems that all the expressions are gathered together.

His steps were neither fast nor slow, but it seemed as if there was an evil ghost chasing behind him...

When he reached the door of the autopsy room, he paused for a few seconds before raising his legs and crossing the threshold.

The autopsy room has excellent lighting, and the bright sunlight passes through the lattice windows, leaving uniform light spots on the ground.

King Yu saw the corpses placed on the wooden bed at a glance. At this moment, he actually had the urge to escape from this place.

But as a father, his obsession made him slowly move forward.

Wei Yuan was the only one in the autopsy room. He took out the gold hairpin from his sleeve and said softly: "This is what I found on her body and what she used to commit suicide. Let's see if we recognize her."

King Yu's eyes froze, and so did his expression, like a sculpture that was gradually weathering.

"It's hers." Prince Yu said in a seductive voice.

The empty room fell into dead silence, and the two middle-aged men did not speak again.

After a long, long time, King Yu looked down at Jin Chai and asked in a hoarse voice: "Who did it?"

"Only three people were found, Ping Yuanbo, Zhang Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs." Wei Yuan stared at him, his deep eyes containing the vicissitudes washed by the years:

"The initial plan of the three of them was to trick her out of the capital, but their young master got interested and had no intention of letting the princess back alive after she was out of Prince Yu's sight."

"She was insulted?" King Yu's voice was terrifyingly calm.

"She committed suicide by swallowing the hairpin." Wei Yuan shook his head, then looked deeply at Prince Yu: "But we are still not sure that she is the princess, and a gold hairpin means nothing.

"I think you know what to do."

King Yu left. Except for the moment when he entered the autopsy room, he never looked at the bones again. It seemed that they were something terrifying.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but looking at his leaving figure, Xu Qian felt that King Yu had aged for a moment, and his figure had the desolation of his twilight years.

On this day, King Yu entered the palace holding a blood book in his hand.

.....

After King Yu left, Xu Qi'an, who was originally planning to wait silently for the Pingyang Princess case to end in order to gain important clues about the Sangbo case, received an invitation from the eldest princess Huaiqing.

The person who conveyed the message was a handsome servant, that is, a young eunuch.

"What does the eldest princess want from me?" Xu Qian asked.

"I don't know." The young eunuch was taciturn, well versed in the ways of surviving in the palace, and kept his mouth tighter than a chrysanthemum.

.....80% it was about Princess Pingyang, Xu Qian had a guess.

We rushed all the way to the imperial city, entered the palace, and were led by the young eunuch straight to Princess Huaiqing's elegant garden.

In the pavilion in the garden, Xu Qi'an met Princess Huaiqing, the second princess, the Crown Prince, and the fourth prince, Princess Huaiqing's brother.

"I have met several of your highnesses in my humble position." Xu Qian stood outside the pavilion and said with cupped fists.

Princess Lin'an waved and shouted happily: "Slave dog, come in and sit down."

When did dog slave become my pet name? Xu Qian was a little confused and glanced at the prince and Princess Huaiqing. The latter said in a cold voice: "No need to see anyone outside, I will give you a seat for Mr. Xu."

The maid brought a chair and placed it opposite the royal highnesses.

The eldest princess Huaiqing looked at him and said: "Today, Prince Yu entered the palace with a blood letter in his hand. After being summoned by my father, he never came out. I remember that you are investigating the case of Princess Pingyang to see if there is any progress."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and Princess Lin'an were all staring at him, waiting for his answer.

Princess Pingyang is their cousin. They grew up together since childhood and have a very close relationship.

"Princess Pingyang..." Xu Qian took a deep breath and began to speak.

This is a simple and simple love story, but it is destined to be extraordinary, because the heroine in the story is a noble princess, and she should not fall in love with a monk.

But the taste of love was so wonderful that she was willing to abandon everything, abandon her wealth and status, and leave the capital with him to spend the rest of her life together.

However, not all love has an ending. The talented and beautiful women in the storybook always have lovers and get married, because that is the storybook. There are too many unpredictable changes in reality.

In the end, they became victims of political struggle. Perhaps before the doom came, the young lovers were still enjoying a happy future together.

Xu Qian told the story calmly, remembering a song he heard many years ago:

"Mandarin ducks and butterflies fly together, and the spring scenery in the garden is intoxicating."

"Ask the holy monk quietly if my daughter is beautiful, if my daughter is beautiful."

"What do you mean by royal power and wealth? What are you afraid of and what are the rules and regulations?"

"I only wish that I can be with the one I love forever."

He had never seen Princess Pingyang, but he seemed to see a bright girl with a pair of smiling eyes standing next to the handsome monk.

Put a wild flower in your hair and ask him whether the flower is more beautiful or me.

"You, what did you sing just now?" Princess Lin'an had red eyes, biting her lip, and her voice was crying.

Xu Qian suddenly realized that he had sung it without knowing it.

He hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I couldn't help myself because of my humble position, and I offended Princess Pingyang."

Princess Huaiqing stared at him deeply and waited for a few seconds before she kept her voice calm and said: "I already know, please step back."

Xu Qi'an left quickly and vaguely heard the cry of Princess Lin'an behind him.

...

A carriage came quickly and stopped at the bottom of the Star Observation Building. Eunuch Liu, who had a pale face but already had some crow's feet, jumped out of the carriage in panic before the attendant could fetch the small ladder.

Eunuch Liu rushed into the Star Observation Tower and held up the imperial edict in his hand: "Your Majesty has an edict. The prisoner will enter the palace immediately."

He shouted three times in a row.

In order to prevent Si Tianjian warlocks from colluding with officials, the order stipulates that the Qi Watching Technique will not be effective on officials of the fourth rank and above.

But there is one exception, Jian Zheng!

"Stop yelling, the teacher has already gone to the palace."

Suddenly a voice came from his side. Eunuch Liu turned his head sharply and saw Yang Qianhuan in white clothes standing with his hands behind his back, his back facing him.

"Yang Qianhuan, when did you return to Beijing?" Eunuch Liu was startled.

"When the capital needs me, I will come back." Yang Qianhuan said in a calm tone.

"You talk all the time, don't you talk easily?" Eunuch Liu scolded him in displeasure, turned around and left.

"...." Yang Qianhuan.

....

Call the yamen on duty.

In the quiet room, Xu Qian, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly felt palpitations, just like the kind of palpitations you get when you hear the beeping sound of QQ after staying up all night.

This was the unique "message reminder" of the fragments of the Book on the Earth. He interrupted his visualization and took out the small jade mirror.

[No. 9: No. 6 has been found. People are calling the office now. You can rest assured. 】

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an frowned. He thought to himself, Chang, aren't you just saying that there are twenty-five young men from Tiandihui in the watchman's office?

[Five: Have you found No. 6? But it’s more dangerous if No. 6 is working as a watchman in the Yamen. I heard that all the watchmen in Dafeng are evil and ruthless. 】

[No. 1: Rumors cannot be believed at all, Taoist Priest, was it you who found No. 6? 】

[No. 9: As expected, No. 6 was indeed sealed. The person who sealed him was a strong man in black robes. He exuded a dangerous aura, which made the poor man dare not act rashly, so he revealed the matter.

Gave it to the yamen for the watch.]
