Several children stood there obediently. Zhao Ying waved at them and said, "Let's go..."
The children said goodbye to Wei Fu and Wei Ju, and then followed.
However, Shangguan Qingyue did not move.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying picked her up and left.
Shangguan Qingyue's small hands rested on her mother's shoulders, still staring at the coffin. "Is Uncle Wei Yuan really dead?"
[He's not pretending to be dead, is he?]
Zhao Ying: ...
He quickened his pace, fearing that the little girl would say something shocking.
Suddenly, Shangguan Qingyue's face wrinkled, and with a determined look, he leaned close to Zhao Ying's ear and whispered, "Mother, Uncle Wei Yuan must be feeling ashamed and pretending to be dead to escape. He's not dead!"
Zhao Ying: ...
Why is the Wei family’s gate so far away?
"Mom, don't you believe it? Yue'er makes a bet with you of ten kisses. If Yue'er wins, Mom will kiss Yue'er ten times. If Mom wins..." The little guy thought about it seriously and said, "I'll let Mom kiss me ten times!"
Zhao Ying: ...
"Is there any difference?"
The little fellow was exposed, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he covered his mouth with his hands and laughed for a long time, saying with a specious excuse: "If Yue'er wins, Mommy will kiss Yue'er on the right cheek. If Yue'er loses, Mommy will kiss Yue'er on the left cheek..."
Zhao Ying was helpless and pinched the little guy's face.
"You're so smart!"
…
In the dark and stuffy coffin, until a certain unlucky person said, "He's not dead..."
The man with the straight board suddenly moved his fingertips.
…
Wei Fu stood beside the coffin and called the housekeeper, "Go find the best coroner in the capital. After everyone leaves, secretly send A Yuan's body there..."
"father……"
Wei Ju walked over.
He frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"nothing."
Seeing that he could not get the answer from Wei Fu, Wei Ju turned to ask the housekeeper. After being threatened, the housekeeper did not dare to say anything because of Wei Fu's presence, so he made up a lie and said that Wei Fu had instructed some matters concerning the funeral.
Wei Ju nodded after hearing this, added some more information, and then left.
Wei Fu looked at Wei Ju's back and gritted his teeth.
In the middle of the night, Wei Fu kept vigil over Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan's body had been secretly wrapped and carried out of the Wei Mansion.
Wei Ju rushed towards Wei Fu angrily and started to curse, "Where did you send A Yuan?"
"Why do you want a coroner to perform an autopsy?"
It turned out that Wei Ju was very suspicious. He got the answer from Wei Fu but did not believe it. He asked someone to secretly follow the old housekeeper and found out that Wei Fu had asked a coroner to perform an autopsy.
Wei Fu was now calmer and more composed than Wei Ju. He said coldly, "There's something fishy about A Yuan's death. I just want to find a coroner to examine it!"
"Ridiculous! Since Ayuan didn't commit suicide, why didn't you tell me and did it secretly?"
Wei Fu sneered, "Telling you so you can destroy the body?"
Wei Ju's eyebrows knitted deeply, "What do you mean?"
His eyes widened in anger. "How dare you! You suspect I killed your brother?!"
“Isn’t it?!”
Wei Ju's vision went dark, and he stumbled back a step. "Rebellious son! You've grown so strong, you dare..."
Wei Fu interrupted him, "Father, don't be angry. If the real murderer is someone else, wouldn't that just clear your name?"
Wei Ju was speechless. He whipped Wei Fu a few times with his whip, but Wei Fu remained motionless and took it.
Wei Ju suddenly threw down the whip and turned away.
Wei Fu stared at the whip, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
late at night.
"Master, something happened."
The people in the room were woken up, put on their outer robes, went to the outer room, looked at the man in black who suddenly appeared, and asked in a bad tone, "What's the matter?"
"The Marquis of Wei asked a coroner to perform an autopsy..."
The man was surprised, "Wei Fu didn't fall for it..."
"Logically, if Wei Fu knew Wei Yuan was dead, he would be furious and seek revenge both old and new. That would be the end of Wei Fu..."
The man in black continued, "Yes, my spies saw that Marquis Wei was full of hatred, but he said a few words to Princess Chengqian and then sent for a coroner..."
"Cheng Qian..."
The man took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then go and silence the coroner and destroy Wei Yuan's body so that he won't have a corpse to examine!"
"yes!"
The man in black left.
In the dark room, after a while, a faint cold snort was heard.
…
A house in the suburbs of Beijing.
It is the home of coroner Song Liu.
Due to the special nature of his job, no one wanted to be his neighbor, so he could not live in a prosperous house in a good location in the capital and could only live in the suburbs.
Fortunately, he was famous enough and many people asked him to perform autopsies. He had saved a lot of money in his early years. When he was over fifty, he taught several apprentices and retired honorably from the yamen.
With a large sum of money, he bought a large piece of land at the foot of Yumang Mountain, built some houses, and made some money by renting or selling them.
I also perform autopsies from time to time to pass the time.
The bodies he examined were all found alone in the mountains. Some had jumped from the mountains and were shattered to pieces. He would collect the bodies and carry them back to see whether the person died first or was broken into pieces first... and then he would discover that the body parts did not belong to the same person...
Others were killed and their bodies dumped out, so he dug them out to see how they died.
After the autopsy, he buried the body on the mountain and built a grave circle.
Everything has its pros and cons.
His interests and hobbies were satisfied, but the yard below the cemetery circle could not be sold.
They all think it's unlucky.
Even the poorest beggars don't live there.
He sold it at a low price and gave it away for free, and in the end he even lost money, but still no one wanted it.
However, recently, perhaps because he was too popular, a burly man came to choose the yard and said he wanted the most dilapidated one.
