Because Qin Shuhuai had three wives, except for Zhao Peng, all of them had their surnames added before "Madam" and were called Madam So-and-so.

For example, Dong Wanyi is called Mrs. Dong, and Jiang Yi is called Mrs. Jiang.

As Qin Shuhuai rushed to Shuntian Prefecture, he was wondering what was going on all the way.

Jiang Yi's body? Is Jiang Yi really dead?

impossible.

Qin Shuhuai frowned. His judgment was rarely wrong. Qin Peng was definitely not Qin Peng. What she did was exactly what Jiang Yi should do.

That body is fake.

Qin Shuhuai thought so until he saw the body.

The corpse was still wearing the clothes that Jiang Yi had worn before her death. Even though they were very tattered, one could still vaguely see the original appearance. The hairpin in her hair and the bracelet on her hand were all exactly the same.

When Qin Shuhuai arrived, the corpse had already been examined. This matter was supervised by Qin Peng. Before Qin Shuhuai arrived, Qin Peng had already rushed to Shuntian Mansion. She personally brought the coroner and started the autopsy directly. When Qin Shuhuai arrived, the autopsy was almost in the final stage.

Qin Shuhuai looked at the autopsy report handed over by the coroner. Because only a pile of bones remained of the body, many of the wounds could not be verified. Judging from the bones alone, Jiang Yi had suffered at least seven injuries, from three different weapons.

This was completely consistent with the situation back then, and based on the shape of the bruises that emerged after the bones were steamed, Qin Shuhuai recognized it as Jiang Chun's sword at a glance.

All the facts reminded Qin Shuhuai that this person was indeed Jiang Yi.

But if Jiang Yi is dead, then who is Qin Peng? !

Qin Shuhuai frowned and looked at the corpse. The coroner beside him said tremblingly: "Prince, have you finished reading the result?"

Qin Shuhuai came back to his senses, looked at the coroner next to him, and said calmly: "Who allowed you to perform an autopsy?"

As soon as he said this, the coroner, Pu Tong, knelt down and kowtowed desperately, saying, "I deserve to die. I admit my guilt. I..."

"That's enough," Qin Peng, who was sitting nearby drinking tea, could no longer bear to watch, and said to the coroner, "I asked him to perform the autopsy. Does Your Majesty think there is something wrong with that?"

"According to the laws of our dynasty, autopsies cannot be performed without the consent of the family or the presence of family members." Qin Shuhuai looked at Qin Peng coldly. Qin Peng smiled and continued, "But the laws of our dynasty also state that unidentified corpses are an exception and can be directly autopsied by the government."

"This is the Princess of Huai'an."

"We didn't know before the autopsy." Qin Peng lied: "It was halfway through the autopsy that I noticed the unique pattern on her clothes. I asked people about it and found out that it was the pattern of the princess of Huai'an Palace. Speaking of which," Qin Peng changed his posture and lifted his hair: "The Regent should thank me."

After hearing this, Qin Shuhuai sneered. At this time, everyone who knew the situation knew that this was obviously a trap set by Qin Peng for Qin Shuhuai. Otherwise, where would Qin Peng find so much effort to follow this case from the beginning to the end?

Qin Peng knew that Qin Shuhuai understood what she meant, and she did not intend to hide her intentions. She and Qin Shuhuai had never had a good relationship, and she was not afraid of offending him again this time.

"Let's get back to the point. Now that we have found the body of Princess Huai'an, I wonder what the prince is going to do?"

"What are your plans?"

Qin Shuhuai knew what Qin Peng was thinking, but he still pretended to be calm. Qin Peng knew from Qin Shuhuai's expression that he must be upset at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy.

When Qin Shuhuai is unhappy, she is happy.

She changed her posture and continued, "You have seen the results of the autopsy. Madam obviously did not die of natural causes. Since she was murdered, we must catch the murderer. I wonder if the prince intends to send this case to the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple?"

Qin Peng did not ask whether he wanted to investigate, but directly gave two options that seemed very fair.

Qin Shuhuai looked at Qin Peng with cold eyes: "What does the princess mean?"

"Why not give it to me?"

Qin Peng blinked, but Qin Shuhuai remained calm and said, "Everyone has their own expertise. This case involves royal relatives and nobles, so let's hand it over to the Dali Temple."

Having said that, Qin Shuhuai went to greet people. After giving instructions one by one, Qin Shuhuai and Jiang Chun walked out.

Jiang Chun felt heavy in his heart. He had killed Jiang Yi himself. He still remembered the scene at that time. This person must be Jiang Yi. But Jiang Yi's body was taken away by Bai Zhi. Now Bai Zhi suddenly brought the body back. What was she trying to do?

"Is the body confirmed?"

Qin Shuhuai walked in front and asked Jiang Chun who was deep in thought behind him. Jiang Chun replied: "Look at the wound, it is indeed."

Qin Shuhuai nodded.

At this moment he realized that he was heading in the wrong direction.

Qin Peng is not Jiang Yi. But Qin Peng is a person who knows Bai Zhi, knows Lu You, goes to the Jiang family's ancestral camp to worship, and is always ready to avenge the Jiang family.

Or maybe, it was not for the Jiang family, but for other reasons. In any case, this person was deliberately trying to get close to him.

Who could this person be?

Is it an old member of the Jiang family, or someone else?

Qin Shuhuai was full of doubts. Jiang Chun followed Qin Shuhuai into the carriage. After a long pause, he finally said, "Prince, what should we do about this?"

Jiang Chun was not too scared. Qin Shuhuai was not the kind of person who would push his subordinates to block the knife, and Jiang Chun was not afraid to block the knife for Qin Shuhuai. It was just that the knife came too suddenly and too aggrievedly, leaving people without the strength to fight back. It was a bit disgusting.

Jiang Chun was unwilling to be pushed out to block the knife in this situation. Instead of doing that, it would be better for him to chop Qin Peng before he got stabbed.

Qin Shuhuai looked up at Jiang Chun and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

"I'm not afraid of anything happening," Jiang Chun hammered the car wall and said angrily, "I just feel bad."

"They are in the dark, and we are in the light, so we are easily moved."

Qin Shuhuai thought about recent events and said slowly: "Qin Peng is not a fool. She is not strong enough now. It is impossible for her to use this case to bring me down. She dare not be too tough. I am afraid she has some ulterior motives. Just find out what she wants. You don't have to worry too much."

"The only problem is—"

Qin Shuhuai's eyes were cold: "Who is she?"

Only by understanding the enemy clearly can we find out his strength and understand how far he can go.

For example, the reason why Jiang Yi's current incident caught Qin Shuhuai off guard was that Qin Shuhuai could not have anticipated that Jiang Yi was actually dead.

Moreover, since Qin Peng dared to make such a big fuss about this case and did so much preparation, he must have already prepared the evidence. In other words, the people behind Qin Peng have been planning a big game against him at least since Jiang Yi's death.

Qin Shuhuai felt like a mosquito caught in a spider web, struggling desperately with the web, while the spider in the dark was silently spinning silk and weaving its web.

This feeling made Qin Shuhuai feel extremely uneasy, but he currently had no way to catch the spider directly.

He could only untie the thread that was entangled around himself first.

He hurried to the palace, jumped off the carriage, and said directly to Jiang Chun: "Catch Lu You here."

Jiang Chun was slightly stunned. Qin Shuhuai knew that Jiang Chun had not reacted, so he repeated again: "Lu You."

"yes!"

Jiang Chun finally came back to his senses, but his heart was shaken violently.

Qin Shuhuai has never made any mistakes in his sensitivity to the people around him. However, Jiang Chun never expected that Lu You was actually a spy!

Jiang Chun took people to arrest Lu You, who was packing things in the house.

When he heard that Jiang Yi's body had been found, he knew something was going to happen. Although he thought he had no problem with his disguise, he also believed in Qin Shuhuai's sensitivity and ability. He had never seen a master with a sharper observation than Qin Shuhuai, so Qin Peng was ready to take action, and Lu You was also ready to escape.

Just as he packed his things, he heard hurried footsteps outside. Lu You didn't think twice and jumped out of the window.

At the same time, Jiang Chun kicked the door open and saw the open window. His pupils shrank and he quickly ran towards the window. Looking at Lu You's running back, he angrily said, "Stop him!"

Lu You's nickname is Loach. It would be very difficult to find him once you leave the palace.

When Lu You heard Jiang Chun's voice, his heart sank immediately, realizing that he was exposed.

Although he didn't know how he was exposed, it did not prevent him from escaping.

The men rushed toward him and he drew his sword.

Now that he had no intention of hiding it, he directly exposed his true strength. Jiang Chun took his first move and immediately reacted, angrily saying: "Lu You, you are indeed a running dog of the Jiang family!"

Hearing this, Lu You laughed out loud, and the sword in his hand quickly spun into a disk. After forcing Jiang Chun to take a step back, he said loudly: "I would rather be a dog of the Jiang family than a member of the Qin Mansion. Lord Jiang, this good dog of the Qin Mansion, barks very loudly!"

"Lu You!" Jiang Chun's face turned cold: "Over the years, I have indeed treated you as a brother, and you treat me like this?"

Lu You paused for a moment, then raised his head and said calmly, "But Jiang Chun, from the moment you and Qin Shuhuai teamed up to kill the young lady, you and I were destined not to be brothers."

As he spoke, Lu You thrust his long sword forward and said coldly, "I'm sorry."
