Chapter 21 Boldly Check

Ministry of Justice, Council Hall.

"Marquis Mu Yuan?" Liu Yan exclaimed as he looked at the crumpled note on the tray.

Ye Linghan did not respond, his expression was gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Liu Yan had no choice but to turn to Su Xing and asked in disbelief: "Master Su, was this note really taken from the dead man's mouth?"

Su Xing nodded: "Yes, I took it out myself."

Coincidentally, the guard accidentally shook the body while lifting it, causing the deceased's head to tilt back too much, and he happened to see the strange bulge in the throat of the body.

It seems that the man surnamed Liang is smarter than the others and actually left clues.

According to Cao Bao's memory, Marquis Mu Yuan is hereditary. The current Marquis Mu Yuan is named Li Sheng. He is not very old, about the same age as Ye Linghan.

Although he is a marquis, he has no real power and is just an idle nobleman.

In addition, he is a loner and doesn't like to interact with others, so he has little sense of presence in the imperial city.

Maybe that's why Liu Yan was so surprised?

Liu Yan was indeed too shocked. He could not connect the introverted and even cowardly Mu Yuanhou with the murderer, not to mention that he had planned such a big conspiracy...

"Prince Regent." Liu Yan carefully expressed his inner thoughts: "Could it be that someone deliberately framed Marquis Mu Yuan?"

Su Xing did not refute. After all, it was possible that the murderer forced Liang to swallow the note, but...

It was a long time after the voice fell, and Ye Linghan seemed to have just heard it, but he did not respond. Instead, he turned his gaze to Su Xing: "What do you think?"

Su Xing was stunned, then said respectfully: "I don't rule out this possibility, but I am more inclined to believe that the deceased swallowed the note on his own initiative, because the note is already in the deepest part of the throat, and it would be difficult to find it if it wasn't a coincidence or if it was cut open."

If the murderer wanted to frame someone, he would definitely not let the note go down so deeply, otherwise it would be meaningless.

Ye Linghan did not look away until Su Xing finished speaking. Su Xing thought there was something wrong with what he said and blinked subconsciously, his clear eyes revealing confusion.

Ye Linghan immediately retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice: "We will know if it is a frame-up after we investigate."

After hearing Su Xing's explanation, Liu Yan no longer had any concerns and immediately replied: "Yes, I will send someone to investigate secretly!"

"No need." Ye Ling refused coldly.

Liu Yan was stunned and looked at Ye Linghan in confusion.

"They already know that the conspiracy has been exposed." Ye Linghan's face suddenly darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Why should we hide it?"

"Investigate boldly!" Ye Linghan suddenly raised his voice, with the momentum of a mighty army: "Find all the people involved for me!"

"yes!"

There were passionate responses in the meeting hall. They were all shocked by Ye Linghan's tone and instantly filled with determination to find the murderer.

Su Xing was also infected. Looking at Ye Linghan's cold, handsome and sharp facial features, he actually felt his blood boiling.

No wonder Ye Linghan can lead troops to fight. Such courage indeed shows that he is a natural born king.

After Liu Yan and his men left, Ye Linghan also stood up and prepared to leave.

Su Xing saw this and hurriedly said, "Prince Regent, the other bodies have not been examined yet. I want to stay and continue the autopsies."

Ye Linghan turned his head and glanced at Su Xing, and asked impatiently: "Do you think it is necessary?"

The others were a concubine who had never seen the world, an idle thug and an old beggar. He didn't think these people would leave any clues like the one named Liang.

Su Xing naturally knew this, but he had to be responsible when doing things. As a forensic doctor, he could not miss any opportunity to find clues.

He said with a firm expression: "Yes, this is my duty."

When he said this, he seemed to be back to his first day as a forensic doctor intern, when the professor told him that as a forensic doctor he had to be worthy of every victim and not let them die innocently.

Ye Linghan stared at Su Xing, who looked like a passionate young man, for a moment, then said coldly, "It's up to you."

Then he turned to Tian Er and said, "You stay."

Tian Er did not dare to neglect and immediately agreed: "Yes!"

Ye Linghan's disdainful tone was like a basin of cold water, instantly extinguishing most of Su Xing's enthusiasm.

He was very angry. He really wanted to point at Ye Linghan's nose and ask him if he understood what respect was.

But he didn't dare, because he didn't want to die yet.

What's more, even if he dared, there would be no point in doing so.

Because people like Ye Linghan will never know what respect means...

He took a deep breath, suppressed the unhappiness and depression in his heart, and walked towards the room where the body was placed.

Ye Linghan got on the carriage as soon as he walked out of the Ministry of Justice. For some reason, Tianyi always felt that his master was in a bad mood, as if he was angry?

But he didn't dare to speculate, he could only cheer himself up and try not to make mistakes.

So he waited until Ye Linghan got into the car and sat down before he carefully asked, "Prince Regent, are you going back home?"

After a while, a voice so cold it could kill you came from inside the car: "Enter the palace."

Tian shrank back subconsciously and replied, "Yes."

The master is really angry!

After entering the palace, Ye Linghan did not go to the Qinzheng Hall, but went to the Qixiang Palace where the emperor lived.

It was noon, the emperor's meal time. As soon as he entered the palace, he could smell the tempting aroma of food.

Ye Linghan raised his hand to stop the eunuch who was about to report it. The eunuch did not dare to disobey and had to bend down and retreat.

After entering the door, there is the main hall, but the emperor is not seen.

Ye Linghan frowned and continued walking towards the side hall at the back.

As soon as I approached, I heard Xia Yunxi's voice coming from inside: "Be good, Rui'er. You need to eat well so that you can get better."

Ye Linghan’s brows furrowed even deeper, and his expression darkened.

"Regent!" The palace maids and eunuchs suddenly cried out in surprise, followed by the sound of people kneeling down one after another.

Xia Yunxi and Ye Lingrui were stunned at first, and then both looked shocked.

Although they didn't have to stand up, they still stood up.

"Regent..." Xia Yunxi glanced at Ye Linghan guiltily, then lowered her head. After a moment, she raised her head again and said with a smile, "The palace servants outside don't know the rules. They didn't even inform us."

"It was I who didn't let them report it." Ye Linghan responded mercilessly, and then said in a more serious tone: "Queen Dowager, I should have said that you should not treat the emperor as a child."

Xia Yunxi's face turned pale instantly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her bright and beautiful eyes.

She lowered her eyes and said nothing.

"Prince Regent, please do not blame my mother. I asked her to come here." Ye Lingrui suddenly stepped forward and said in a hurry, "Prince Regent, blame me if you want to blame someone."

Ye Lingrui was only seven years old. Even if he tried to pretend to be an adult, he was still a child. Moreover, Ye Linghan was so scary when he was angry that he was almost crying.

But he was afraid of being scolded by Ye Linghan if he cried, so he could only grit his teeth and not let the tears fall.

Ye Linghan did not show any sympathy just because Ye Linghan was a child. He stared at Ye Lingrui with cold eyes: "Do you know what the consequences of lying are?"
