Chapter 7070 Cheng Mansion

Su Yan was really angry, although she didn't know why she was angry.

Having worked like a slave for many years, she has a very good temper. As long as she can save her life, she will face anything with a smile.

But the moment he realized something, Su Yan couldn't control his temper.

She interpreted this as a need to vent anger that had been suppressed for too long.

Yun Xing heard Su Yan muttering in his heart - "I am so pitiful, I have to tolerate everything, I can't hit or scold, I am so pitiful, I have been holding it in for my whole life."

Yun Xing: “…”

I didn't hold it back completely though.

Next, Yunxing learned more about the autopsy process performed by the coroner.

"The skull is the hardest to separate, but I've done a lot of farm work over the years, so I'm stronger now and can handle it. The rest of the parts are separated along the joints... It's still easier and cleaner to take out the internal organs first."

Yunxing turned around and sat down obediently.

Su Yan was surprised, "You can leave now, why aren't you leaving yet?"

Yunxing smiled politely.

Su Yan said: "You won't leave. If you don't leave, I will have to say something."

Yun Xing: "Please."

"You and Shi Yangui are not enemies."

When Shi Yangui talked about what happened in the past, he did not intend to avoid mentioning Yunxing at all. But Yunxing was from Chuyun Tower and was Zhao Mingde's right-hand man. Why didn't Shi Yangui avoid mentioning it?

Su Yan could believe that Yun Xing had the intention to turn back, but how did Shi Yangui know?

It was obvious that they had been in contact for a long time, but Yun Xing had never told her!

They hid a lot of things from her!

Shi Yangui could choose not to tell anyone, but she and Yun Xing had been through thick and thin together, yet he was hiding it from her!

Su Yan's smile was quite scary.

Yun Xing saw her dissatisfaction, but he only said: "We did have contact, but the current situation, I can't tell you everything."

Su Yan asked: "Am I unreliable?"

"no."

"You don't want to implicate me?"

Yun Xing thought for a moment and said, "No."

Su Yan was puzzled.

"Under the current situation, even if I don't want to implicate you, I can't do it. This matter is of great importance and involves several people. I can't make the decision alone."

Su Yan wanted to curse a few more times, but he couldn't say it out loud because Yun Xing looked very sincere.

Su Yan raised his voice, "So, you actually trust me?"

Yunxing nodded.

"You really don't know about the Shi Mansion?"

Yunxing raised his eyes.

Su Yan said: "You must not lie to me about this matter. I came to the capital to find out the truth about my parents' death."

After a long while, Yun Xing nodded again, "I don't know."

Su Yan said: "I will believe you for now."

Su Yan took Yun Xing to talk about three cases that happened in the capital.

"The deaths of these three people are unusual. Can you find out if it was done by someone from Izumo Tower?"

Yun Xing said: "As far as I know, there was indeed no order to kill these three people."

"Where's Cheng Yuan?"

"In the capital, Cheng Yuan is just a minor official who is not attached to anyone. Zhao Mingde has no need to deal with him, nor will he take him seriously."

Su Yan thought thoughtfully, "Could it be possible that the imperial doctors have found evidence against Zhao Mingde?"

Yun Xing said: "Anyone is possible."

Su Yan asked: "Is it possible for Shi Yan to return?"

Yun Xing raised his eyes and looked at Su Yan for a moment, then said, "It's not him."

Shi Er sent a message to Su Yan early in the morning, asking her to go to the Ministry of Justice.

"This is the whereabouts of the three people for nearly a month before they died." Shi Er's subordinates handed the file to Su Yan, and Shi Er said, "Liu Taiyi is nearly sixty years old. Ten years ago, a plague broke out in the capital, and the Imperial Hospital was helpless. He searched through medical books and found a good prescription to save the people in the capital. The Fourth Prince Liangxi was also infected with the plague. The epidemic was fierce and the Fourth Prince almost died. It was Liu Taiyi's prescription that brought him back from the brink of death. The Fourth Prince was weak and sickly, and it was not easy to save him. His Majesty rewarded him with 100 taels of gold for this. Liu Taiyi is deeply loved."

Su Yan asked: "Is there a possibility that Doctor Liu is secretly working for the prince?"

Shi Er stared at her and said, "Doctor Liu has never shown kindness to anyone. He once said that no matter who it is, they are just ordinary people with illnesses in front of him. Doctor Liu also treated everyone in the Flying Eagle Army, and everyone was grateful to him."

Su Yan understood.

Doctor Liu is a good man. He does not offend Zhao Mingde or anyone else.

The forces in the court accepted his neutrality and acquiesced to his existence.

"Where is the boss?"

"The chief doctor's reputation is not as good as that of Imperial Physician Liu, and he is usually close to the crown prince."

Su Yan said: "Prince?"

Shi Er nodded.

"When you talked about Liang Xi just now, you called him the Fourth Prince, but you didn't call him the Crown Prince when you mentioned the Crown Prince. You are being disrespectful."

Shi Er: “…”

He thought Su Yan had some brilliant ideas.

Su Yan teased Shi Er before continuing to read the files.

"Doctor Liu is old, and has never been to any other place except the Imperial Palace Hospital. The person in charge goes out often, but the people he meets..." Su Yan doesn't recognize any of them.

She looked at Shi Er, "Minister Shi, has the chief seen anyone suspicious?"

Shi Er shook his head.

The imperial physician and the chief official were both insignificant figures.

"Then we should investigate Imperial Doctor Liu first," Su Yan said. "Imperial Doctor Liu was the beginning of the murder case, but apart from his home, the place he went most often was the Imperial Hospital. Could it be that he found something in the Imperial Hospital?"

Su Yan looked at Shi Er intentionally or unintentionally.

Shi Er: "..., this matter has nothing to do with Manager Zhao."

Su Yan curled his lips: Who would believe that the court's affairs had nothing to do with Zhao Mingde...

Shi Er: “!”

Su Yan pretended to be innocent: "I was just looking at your hair. Look, it's hit by the willow."

Shi Er: “…”

Shi Er was a scholar who wanted to be a hard-working scholar. He did not care about his appearance. Although he was handsome, he had never taken care of himself.

It is inconvenient to get water to wash long hair, and long hair that has not been washed for many days is unsightly.

Shi Er said with a straight face: "The important affairs of the court are the most important."

Su Yan said: "There is no country without a family. Minister Shi has not yet started a family, right? Otherwise..."

Shi Er looked at Su Yan, but Su Yan shut up and looked away.

It's not risky to tease Shi'er. After two days of contact, Su Yan has already figured out his personality.

Before Shi Er wanted to curse, Su Yan said seriously: "It seems that the answer should be in the palace or the Imperial Hospital. Has Doctor Liu come into contact with anyone? Has anyone been ill recently?"

Shi Er: “…”

Just suffocate him to death.

He looked embarrassed. "Liu Taiyi is a skilled doctor who is always busy. Where can we check this? The emperor is in the most serious condition. Are you and I going to interrogate him?"

Su Yan: If it's Zhao Mingde, that's not a bad idea...

Shi Er: "Don't even think about it!"

Su Yan was disappointed.

Liang Yi also regarded Shi Er as his mortal enemy, and was worried about Su Yan and Shi Er being alone together, so he rushed over early in the morning.

The three of them sat down to discuss the murder case. They didn't say much about the business, and most of the time it was Shi Er and Liang Yi arguing.

Shi Er has been handling the affairs of the Ministry of Justice for a year and is quite mature, but he is always irritated by Liang Yi's words.

As the two were arguing, they heard a voice saying, "Three-year-old child, immature, a man is a teenager until he dies, bah, a man is a child until he dies."

Shi Er & Liang Yi: "..."

The owner of the voice looked at them innocently, "What important clues did you two come up with?"

Shi Er: “…”

He wanted to curse Su Yan harshly in his heart!

In Su Yan's opinion, the key to this case should be the imperial physician. Shi Er has ordered people to check the people the imperial physician had contact with before, but there is no result yet.

Su Yan wanted to go to the Imperial Hospital to take a look, but this was not an ordinary place and she might not be able to get in because of her identity.

Even if she could go, she would be too eye-catching. She should be more low-key.

Su Yan urged Liang Yi to go to the Imperial Hospital. "Young prince, think carefully, what does Imperial Doctor Liu do? He is the Imperial Physician! What is an Imperial Physician? A doctor! Doctors are kind-hearted. The Imperial Hospital is where he spends the most time. So, the Imperial Hospital must be the place with the most clues. Should we go there?"

Liang Yi was so excited that he said, "The Imperial Hospital must have some clues! I'll do it!"

Shi Er looked at Liang Yi coldly.

Haha, you are so brainless, a typical person who is sold out and still counts money for others.

Su Yan said to Shi Er again: "Cheng Jian's death is different from the previous two. His and Cheng Yuan's whereabouts are also very important. I think the murderer's target is very likely Cheng Yuan. Why don't you ask Minister Shi to check Cheng Yuan?"

Shi Er: “…Okay.”

Liang Yi curled his lips - Shi Er is just a follower!

Both of them had their own missions, and were about to split up when Shi Er's subordinates came to report, "Minister, another body was found in Yujing River!"

*

The deceased was a butcher named Cen Da, who came from a wealthy family. His wife died early, leaving behind two young children.

"Master Cen has a very bad reputation. After his wife died, he often went to places of entertainment, had affairs with prostitutes, and even had an affair with widows in the neighborhood."

Su Yan squatted beside Cen Da's body and examined it.

Liang Yi and Shi Er followed behind. Liang Yi sighed, "He has children at home, but he just hangs out in prostitutes. I really don't know how to talk about him."

Su Yan turned Cen Da's body over and continued to examine it.

Shi Er said: "I'm afraid his death has nothing to do with the three imperial doctors, but why did the murderer dump the body in Yujing River?"

"How can it be irrelevant?" Liang Yi said, "The two bodies were found no more than ten meters apart, how can you say it's irrelevant? You're so young, and you're already confused?"

"Master Cen has nothing to do with the affairs of the court! Why did the murderer want to kill him?"

"Of course there is something else going on!"

"You better tell me the secret!"

"What do you, the Minister of Justice, need to do if I tell you this? Look, look, you're getting anxious now that you can't win the argument!"

A group of subordinates: "..."

The Minister of Justice, who worked for the most powerful person in the court, and the little prince, who was born in a noble family, quarreled like children...

Everyone in the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Prefecture: We can quarrel without worries from now on!

Yan Zheng was sweating profusely after hearing this, fearing that the two would really start a fight. As a small constable, he couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Yan Zheng said: "Cen Da disappeared two days ago. His eldest son is just seven years old and his youngest daughter is only five years old. Two days ago, Cen Da's son came to report to the police..."

Shi Er and Liang Yi asked in unison: "Do you think that the death of Cen Da is related to the three imperial doctors?!"

Yan Zheng: “…”

How did the fire get to him?

Yan Zheng kept wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves.

One is a popular figure in front of Zhao Mingde.

One is the Crown Prince’s beloved younger brother.

No matter who you offend...

In such a situation, Yan Zheng only hoped to protect his nine clans.

When he was dejected and unable to deal with this situation, Su Yan stood up. She wiped her hands slowly and said, "I'm afraid that Mr. Cen's death is related to the previous three murders."

Liang Yi's face was full of joy.

Yan Zheng was shocked and looked at Shi Er anxiously.

Shi Er climbed to a high position at a young age, which was enough to show his ability. Zhao Zong relied on him very much, and even the crown prince was polite to him. Su Yan actually refuted him to his face! She didn't want her head anymore?

She actually, actually...

Shi Er walked towards Su Yan.

Yan Zheng: You really need to move your head!

Shi Er's eyes were sharp.

It was too severe to be seen or heard.

The little villain following the big villain is about to show his power!

The next moment, Shi Er bowed slightly in a humble manner, and said in a gentle voice, "But have you found any clues?"

Yan Zheng: “…”

Su Yan's eyes were filled with laughter. "There is also a silver needle behind Mr. Cen's ear."
