82 The Confused Coroner (Please vote~)
Taking advantage of the dark night and strong wind, Zhufeng came to the official residence near Shuntian Prefecture.
The people living in the official residence were all yamen runners from Shuntian Prefecture who needed to be summoned to work at any time.
The coroner that the princess asked her to find was among them.
Zhufeng had already found out the location before coming, so he easily found the room of the coroner Liu Erzhu.
Liu Erzhu is already 45 years old this year. As he often has to deal with the dead, no one is willing to marry a girl to him, so he is still a bachelor.
He himself was not very ambitious and was rather sloppy. The dishes and chopsticks used in meals would be piled on the table until they became moldy. His clothes, pants, shoes and socks were piled up in the corners. Empty wine jars were scattered all over the floor.
Dozens of complex smells intertwined in the room, it was really unpleasant...
But Liu Erzhu, lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, was sleeping soundly.
Zhufeng covered his nose and looked at the person on the bed with disgust.
Fortunately, the cleanest place in the room was the bed, and there was Liu Erzhu lying on the bed wearing a snow-white underdress.
Zhufeng jumped directly onto the bed and slapped Liu Erzhu on the face.
The slap was so hard that Liu Erzhu's face swelled up on the spot.
Awakened by the sudden pain, Liu Erzhu opened his eyes abruptly and saw a man standing at the head of his bed, looking down at him.
He was so frightened that he quickly retreated to the wall and opened his mouth to shout.
Zhufeng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He kicked Liu Erzhu on the head and knocked him unconscious.
Then he grabbed Liu Erzhu's neck with disgust and left the residence silently.
When he brought Liu Erzhu back to Chong'an Palace, it was already late at night.
Jiang Yun had already lain down with Fu Xuanyu.
Although I can't touch Fu Xuanyu during this period, I can still sleep with him in my arms.
However, Jiang Yun lay down with her clothes on, and as for Fu Xuanyu, Jiang Yun kindly helped him take off his clothes.
So when Jiang Yun heard Zhufeng calling her outside the window, she opened her eyes instantly.
She glanced at Fu Xuanyu who was already asleep, got out of bed silently, opened the door and walked out.
Outside the door, Zhu Feng reported respectfully: "Princess, I have brought the person you wanted to you."
As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged man in his undergarments lying on the ground.
Jiang Yun directly moved a chair and sat in the corridor, and ordered Zhu Feng: "Wake him up, this princess has something to ask him."
Zhufeng walked directly to Liu Erzhu and kicked him lightly with his leg.
He didn't use much force when he kicked her just now, so Liu Erzhu wouldn't have been dizzy for too long.
At this moment, he was kicked by Zhufeng and sat up suddenly.
Then he found himself in a different place.
Liu Erzhu has been disemboweling the dead, and sometimes even has to torture the living, so he doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts in the world. If there really are ghosts, why don't those who he disemboweled come back to find him?
So he clearly realized that he was being kidnapped.
He turned his head to look at Zhufeng and saw that Zhufeng didn't even cover his face. This was a sign of his death!
Liu Erzhu instantly felt that something was wrong and quickly filtered out the people he had offended in his mind, but none of those faces matched Zhufeng's.
Just as he was daydreaming, a cold female voice came from behind him.
"Liu Erzhu, do you still remember Doctor Du Qiushi who was wronged by you?"
Liu Erzhu's pupils shrank, and he immediately turned his head, and saw a stunningly beautiful woman sitting in the magnificent corridor.
Although he was a coroner, he had seen many noble people, but this was the first time he had seen someone with such an extraordinary temperament as this woman.
Liu Erzhu immediately knelt down and directly betrayed his superior.
"Please spare my life, ma'am! I was just following orders. If you want to blame me, please go find my superior, Lord Guo, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture!"
Jiang Yun raised an eyebrow.
Although Shuntian Prefecture Governor Guo Qing did not hold a high official rank, he was responsible for supervising all officials in Phoenix City under the emperor's feet. No matter what happened, he basically reported directly to the emperor.
Now, if she was told that Lord Guo was involved in a case involving a small-time figure like Doctor Du, Jiang Yun would not believe it.
She sneered: "Lord Guo is busy supervising the imperial city, how can he take care of such a trivial matter?"
Liu Erzhu immediately said loudly and quickly: "Auntie, please be clear! That Cen'er's husband's mother-in-law is Lord Guo's aunt, and their two families are related. At the beginning, his aunt came to Shuntian Prefecture on her own initiative, and it was me who accompanied Lord Guo to receive her."
After he finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground.
Jiang Yun had just gained some understanding of the forces within Phoenix City, and now Lord Guo, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, jumped out.
Originally, she thought it was just the result of Liu Erzhu taking money to do the job, but now it seems that it is indeed the result of Lord Guo shielding the suspect and finding someone to take the blame!
But isn't it said in Phoenix City that Lord Guo is the most perceptive and fair and just?
Moreover, Fu Xuanyu also told her that Lord Guo, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was a loyal minister who only obeyed the orders of the emperor.
Would a person like that shield a criminal just for the sake of their relationship?
She looked at Liu Erzhu who was kneeling on the ground with a sinister look and said, "If I find out that you are lying to me, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the wolves."
Liu Erzhu shuddered violently. This woman claimed to be a princess? ?
There is only one princess in Phoenix City now, and that is Princess Chong'an.
Although Prince Chong'an is a sickly man, Princess Chong'an will become a widow sooner or later.
However, Lord Guo, who often went to the palace to meet the emperor, naturally reminded his subordinates many times that no matter what people in Phoenix City talked about Prince Chong'an, they should stay away from Prince Chong'an to avoid causing trouble.
It’s because the emperor truly loves this son!
Now that he has fallen into the hands of Princess Chong'an, he is simply putting his life on fire!
He immediately kowtowed and said tremblingly, "I dare not lie or deceive the princess."
Jiang Yun narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Tell me, tell me everything you know about Mr. Guo, without missing a word."
Liu Erzhu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and he poured out everything he knew about Lord Guo like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
Even the fact that Mr. Guo likes to drink sweet tofu pudding was mentioned...
Jiang Yun was speechless but did not interrupt Liu Erzhu.
Because she could feel that Liu Erzhu's mental state was at a critical point. If she continued to scare him, Liu Erzhu would probably be scared silly...
Since she didn't interrupt, it was even less likely that Zhufeng would speak.
So Jiang Yun and Zhu Feng listened to Liu Erzhu's long-winded words.
Those words were almost all nonsense, except for one sentence that Jiang Yun found useful.
That is, 'Mr. Guo listens to his mother very much'.
