Chapter 121 Restaurant

Zhao Qiujin seemed to be chatting with Liang Yi. "Actually, if you ask me to kill Zhao Mingde, I really can't do it. Now I won't do anything to harm him. I can't bear it. But I can't control what other people do. I can help with this kind of small favor, but if you ask me to poison him, I can't help."

Liang Yi asked: "Don't you think it's painful to have different positions?"

Zhao Qiujin patted Liang Yi on the shoulder and said, "You are lucky to still be able to eat and drink well now. Look at how many people are displaced and have lost their homes. They just have different positions, but at least they are still alive, and even enjoy their lives. There are no absolutely bad people. There will be at least one or two people who think he is good to them, right?"

Liang Yi sat back with a frown on his face.

Su Yan whispered, "Don't worry too much. The prince's kindness to you is real, and he may not be the one behind the murder of the imperial physician. We are just considering all possibilities."

Liang Yi nodded slightly.

Now that Concubine Liang is dead, Zhao Mingde intends to leak the news that the emperor is still alive. The people who instigated Concubine Liang failed in their goal.

Su Yan wanted to tell Shi Yangui the news as soon as possible, so he left with Yun Xing Yunzhou first.

When Su Yan returned to the mansion, he saw a grand team of guards.

Yun Xing took a quick look and said, "The prince is here."

Yun Zhou asked, "You recognize the prince too?"

"I have seen you in the East Palace."

"You've been to the Eastern Palace too?!"

Yun Xing said, "The prince has an aide who accepted bribes and protected local officials who oppressed the people. He needs to be dealt with."

Yun Zhou was shocked, "Are all the things you do so serious?!"

Why are the tasks he receives not so acceptable to others?

This is discrimination!!

Most of the tasks Yunxing performs are instructed by Chen Lian, which are naturally different from those performed by Yunzhou.

The prince came to look for Shi Yangui. Su Yan consciously wanted to avoid him, but unfortunately, as soon as she stepped into the yard, she saw the prince and Shi Yangui coming out.

The prince stared at Yun Xing's face and said with a smile, "I didn't believe it when I heard them talk about it. It turns out that they really have the same face."

Shi Yan Gui nodded and smiled faintly.

The prince said, "You have been living outside these years, which is really unfair. If you need anything, just ask me."

While the prince was talking to Yun Xing, Su Yan was allowed to leave.

Chu Feng and the others were there too. Seeing Su Yan, Chu Feng came over and asked, "Miss Su, how are you these days?"

Su Yan met Chu Feng several more times, but they never had a good conversation.

Su Yan said: "It's good."

Chu Feng said, "Wanyue's birthday is coming up in a few days. Miss Su, do you want to go with me to pay respects? I have no other intentions, but Wanyue envied you very much when she was alive. She also wanted to leave Anping Town and come to the capital to take a look. Unfortunately, she never left Anping Town until her death."

Su Yan nodded, "Of course, as long as she is willing to see me."

"Wan Yue is buried in Anping Town. Now I can't go back. I can only burn some paper money for her to express my grief. Miss Su is willing to go with me. I am very grateful. However, you have a special status, so you should not go too far. I will come to find you on Wan Yue's birthday."

Su Yan nodded again. She saw a woman's purse hanging around Chu Feng's waist. "Is this hers?"

Chu Feng looked down and smiled, "I made it. She wanted me to learn embroidery, but I refused because my work was not very good. She wears it every day and it is her personal item. I want to burn the purse to her this time and not force her to keep it. Miss Su, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Chu Feng has been working for Shi Yangui.

Although he is not good at wielding swords and guns, he is very good at writing articles.

Shi Yangui was willing to take him with him, and he was very grateful and didn't ask for too much.

But in the future, he must go to the battlefield and kill his enemies with his own hands.

In order to be able to go to the battlefield, Chu Feng still has to make a lot of efforts and must not give up.

After Chu Feng left, he walked towards the house where he was staying temporarily. These houses were arranged by Shi Yangui, and he and Le Sheng lived together.

Qin Wanyue's birthday is in a few days, and Chu Feng went to the street, wanting to buy some little gadgets she likes.

Chu Feng knew that he still couldn't say he loved Qin Wanyue, but to him, she was an indelible existence.

Without her, he would still be a scum who wanted to take advantage of others and do nothing.

Whenever he thought of the scene when she left, Chu Feng wished he could rush directly to the Hu army camp and cut them into pieces.

Chu Feng bought a kite and two masks. The masks were a pair. Qin Wanyue had clamored to buy them at the lantern festival, but he had no money and didn't want to lose face, so he refused to wear them.

Walking down the street, Chu Feng saw someone selling candied haws, which was also what Qin Wanyue liked to eat.

Chu Feng looked at the candied haws with a smile, as if he could see Qin Wanyue again.

He walked over and asked for a string of candied haws.

Chu Feng had just received the candied haws when he suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

It’s Li Fu.

Li Fu was not dressed as a eunuch. He looked around every two steps, which showed that he was definitely not doing good deeds.

Chu Feng frowned, put away the candied haws, and walked towards Li Fu.

Late at night, Su Yan was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a knock on the door.

This period of time was when she slept the best. She knew Yun Xing was next door, and she also knew that he was very vigilant and would go check if he heard any noise, so she was not worried at all about any accidents.

Now the only one knocking on the door is Yunxing.

Su Yan rubbed her eyes and walked over. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Yun Xing, Yun Zhou and Shi Yangui outside. She was startled and immediately closed the door, "I'm going to get dressed!"

She was only wearing her nightgown.

After Su Yan moved in, his living conditions improved a lot and he bought a lot of clothes and jewelry.

Shi Yangui said that she was his cousin now, and with her status she had to pay attention to her dress and appearance.

Although luxurious clothes look good, they make Su Yan's movements inconvenient. She can only try to wear simple styles, such as a short shirt and a bird-patterned skirt.

Yun Zhou was quite disgusted, "You actually opened the door in your pajamas? You really don't treat us as human beings."

Su Yan said: "I didn't know you would come."

"Someone's knocking on the door, and you don't know?"

Su Yan said confidently, "I thought it was Yun Xing!"

Yun Zhou: “…”

Yunxing touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably.

Shi Yangui said: "Even if it's Yunxing, you haven't gotten married yet..."

Shouldn't we be more careful?

This time it was Su Yan's turn to be silent.

Damn it, the pajamas she was wearing covered her up completely, how could it be that shameful?

She should just go out in her pajamas and not give them face.

Su Yan asked: "You came here so late, is it because the emperor is not well?"

Shi Yan Gui said, "Concubine Liang has passed away. Mother is going to attend the memorial service. She will have a chance to go into the palace to find out what happened."

In order to calm the situation, Zhao Mingde did not disclose the actual situation to the public, but only said that Concubine Liang had died suddenly of a serious illness.

"But we didn't wake you up for this," Shi Yangui said, "In fact, we need you to perform the autopsy."

Su Yan hadn't touched a scalpel for a long time. She was eager to try, "Who to dissect? Never mind, anyone will do. I need to practice."

Yun Xing whispered, "It's Chu Feng."

Su Yan was stunned, "Chu...Feng?"

You must be kidding. Chu Feng was still talking to her recently and even invited her to go burn paper for Qin Wanyue.

How could he die?

Chu Feng's body has been moved to the morgue.

Shi Er is here too.

When he saw Su Yan, he shook his head first, then said to Shi Yangui: "General Shi, this murder case can be handed over to me. Why does General Shi need to come here in person?"

When Shi Yangui signaled Yun Xing to take Su Yan to the autopsy, he replied: "Chu Feng was my subordinate, he was murdered, I must catch the murderer, I hope Minister Shi will understand."

The polite words are over.

Chu Feng's body was kept separately.

He was stabbed to death with a dagger stuck in his abdomen. The body was discovered by a commoner. When the Jingzhao Prefecture arrived, they collected his belongings.

Yun Xing took out Chu Feng's belongings, "Kite, mask, and a bunch of unfinished candied haws. This is... a purse."

Su Yan saw that Chu Feng wanted to burn the purse for Qin Wanyue.

There was some mud on the purse and the embroidery was indeed not delicate enough. It was clearly a lotus embroidered on it, but the petals were shriveled and the branches were shaky.

Su Yan wiped off the dirt and handed it to Yun Xing, "Chu Feng wants to burn it for Qin Wanyue, so keep it for now. Two people are needed to perform the autopsy, please ask Minister Shi to send someone."

After a while, Shi Er walked in alone.

"I have many spies around me, so it's not easy for me to talk." Shi Er explained, "Now Zhao Mingde doesn't trust me very much, but at least he still keeps my official position. There's not much I can do."

Su Yan said: "After the incident at Chuyun Tower, I was unable to move around and was unable to thank you in person. I have always felt bad about it."

Shi Er smiled, then looked at Yun Xing curiously.

That day he only saw Yun Xing's face and thought he was Shi Yangui. But now, looking at his appearance, he could tell the difference.

Shi Er exclaimed: "It is exactly the same. If I put on General Shi's clothes now, I am afraid no one will be able to tell the difference."

Yunxing nodded.

Shi Er said: "They have similar personalities and are not easy to get along with."

Yun Xing: “…”

Su Yan began to perform the autopsy.

Chu Feng's eyes were open, and wide open, he died with his eyes open.

Su Yan first experienced trauma.

"There are multiple resistance injuries on the outside of the arms and strangulation marks on the neck."

"There is heavy bleeding in the abdomen."

"Mouth and nose..."

Su Yan held the oil lamp and observed with a frown.

Shi Er asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are abrasions inside the mouth, which means he swallowed something before he died."

Shi Er said: "It was too late when the body was found. We don't know what the scene was like yet. But the body was found near a restaurant. Maybe he had eaten?"

Su Yan shook his head. "Just eating wouldn't leave such obvious marks. He must have swallowed something."

Shi Er said: "But now we have no way of knowing what he ate."

Su Yan put down the oil lamp and stood up, "Cut it open and take a look."

Shi Er: "...dissection?"

Although Shi Er had seen this before, his heart still trembled when he heard Su Yan say these words lightly.

Su Yan said: "Chu Feng has no relatives, I am considered his friend, as long as Minister Shi issues a document agreeing to the autopsy, then we can do it."

Shi Er: “…”

Yun Xing walked over and said, "If you can't see clearly, I'll hold the light for you."

Su Yan nodded slightly.

Judging from her posture, she must be operated on.

Shi Er said: "Then let's cut open the wound."
