The case is now taken over by the Dali Temple. Although Qin Shuhuai is the regent, his actual role is to assist the emperor in making decisions. As a regent, he can manage everything, ask questions, understand and supervise everything, but he cannot manage anything in detail, let alone exceed his authority and the law.

For example, the Dali Temple was in charge of cases involving royal relatives. Qin Shuhuai could directly transfer the case to the Ministry of Justice, or even to himself, but such unreasonable and excessive behavior could be impeached by the Historian at any time.

Once the Historian impeached him, Zhang Ying and he were both regents. If Qin Ming or the empress dowager expressed their views, they could always initiate a review procedure for his decision.

If Qin Shuhuai did not transfer the case from the Dali Temple to his own hands, the Dali Temple would be in charge of the case. Even if he was the Regent, he would not have the power to inquire about the case without going through Lu Xiu.

Fortunately, he couldn't ask directly, but he could supervise. So after leaving Qin Peng, Qin Shuhuai quickly went to the morgue.

After the fire at Yanyu Teahouse, a total of three men and two women died. The identities of the other three are still being confirmed, while the two women have been identified by the Liu family. They are indeed Liu Shiyun and the maid.

When Qin Shuhuai passed by, Liu Shiyun's body was isolated.

The noble families of Qi were a deep-rooted force. The aristocratic families were responsible for the dethronement of Emperor Jing. Although the aristocratic families were weakened under the governance of Qin Wenxuan, the death of a noble family was a serious crime that could destroy a powerful official in the royal family.

Therefore, after Liu Shiyun's death, her body was isolated once confirmed, and then the Dali Temple could intervene directly. After obtaining the approval of any one of Qin Shuhuai, Zhang Ying, Qin Ming, etc., they could directly arrest the suspect Qin Peng and put him in jail.

Qin Shuhuai walked up to Liu Shiyun's body. She had been burned beyond recognition. The coroner next to her explained to Qin Shuhuai, "There were two wounds on her body. She must have been killed by a sword and then burned to death."

As he spoke, the coroner checked Qin Shuhuai's wounds. Qin Shuhuai nodded and asked the coroner to continue.

The coroner told Qin Shuhuai in detail the depth and shape of the wound, and then introduced all the physical characteristics of the corpse and Liu Shiyun one by one, and finally said: "Moreover, at the time of death, this woman was nearly three months pregnant."

Qin Shuhuai looked up at the coroner and said calmly, "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

The coroner nodded. Qin Shuhuai said nothing, but waved his hand and asked the coroner he brought to come forward and perform another examination.

After the autopsy, the coroner nodded to Qin Shuhuai and said, "It is indeed Miss Liu."

Qin Shuhuai said nothing.

Liu Shiyun broke her leg once when she was young. Liu Shiyun was born with one more tooth than ordinary people. Every physical feature of Liu Shiyun is perfectly presented on this corpse.

If this corpse was the one Liu Shiyun found to replace her, then it was really a coincidence and almost perfect.

In other words, the person lying here is most likely Liu Shiyun.

After confirming the identity, Qin Shuhuai asked Jiang Chun to continue looking for the person, while asking Lu You to continue checking all the people Liu Shiyun knew during her lifetime.

At the same time, Qin Shuhuai issued another order that because Qin Peng's status was too high, the case could not be handled by the Dali Temple alone, and it was changed to be jointly tried by the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of History, and the Dali Temple.

Since all major cases were heard by the three courts, there was nothing wrong with Qin Shuhuai doing this.

As soon as the Ministry of Justice intervened in the case, Zhou Yu immediately collected all the existing evidence and handed it over to Qin Shuhuai.

"Liu Shiyun has always been kind and has never had an argument with anyone. The only enemy she has made known to everyone is the princess."

Zhou Yu handed over the testimonies of all those who had witnessed the dispute between Qin Peng and Liu Shiyun to Qin Shuhuai, and continued: "The night before the fire in the teahouse, Liu Shiyun submitted a letter to the Dali Temple, saying that the princess had threatened her many times in recent days and she was afraid for her life. If she died, it must be the princess's doing. The next day, someone saw the princess arrive at the teahouse first, and Liu Shiyun arrived later. Then the teahouse caught fire, and many people heard Liu Shiyun's screams and asked the princess what she was going to do to her. Later, the princess escaped, and there was no sound in the teahouse. After the autopsy, it was found that Miss Liu died of a sword wound."

"Judging from the wound on the sword, it is a sword of the specifications commonly used by the guards in the princess's mansion."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yu looked worried: "The evidence is almost complete..."

"Ask Lu You to come in."

Qin Shuhuai quickly finished flipping through the files and asked someone to call Lu You in.

"Where is the person I asked you to find?"

He looked up at Lu You, his eyes cold. Lu You shook his head: "I didn't find it."

"Who did you ask him to find?" Zhou Yu was a little confused. Qin Shuhuai threw the file aside and explained, "The reason why the princess went to Yanyu Teahouse was because their informant told Lu You that Liu Shiyun was going to see someone from Beiyan. This informant was someone they planted in Liu Mansion and served Liu Shiyun for a long time. Now it can be understood that Liu Shiyun deliberately passed this news to Qin Peng in order to attract Qin Peng to go there. And the informant gave Qin Peng this news. There are two situations. First, she was used to pass false news; second, she is Liu Shiyun's person. In any case, this is the key."

"We haven't found him yet," Zhou Yu frowned, "I'm afraid he's in bad shape."

“So I can only find a second person.”

Qin Shuhuai picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "Liu Shiyun definitely didn't die voluntarily. She was pregnant with her child. As a mother, she would have fought hard to survive. However, she still died. It can be seen that someone used her as a pawn and set a trap against me and the princess. Finding this person is the key."

"How do I find it?"

Zhou Yu leaned forward, intending to listen to what Qin Shuhuai had to say.

Qin Shuhuai pointed at the table with his fingers and said slowly: "This man should be the father of Liu Shiyun's child. Liu Shiyun is very proud and she will never commit herself to an ordinary person. She would rather fake her death and ask Miss Liu to follow the other person, so the other person must be of a very high status and power."

Qin Shuhuai added, "You shouldn't be inferior to me."

After saying this, everyone immediately had a list in mind. Qin Shuhuai continued: "Find out what Liu Shiyun did three months ago and who she might have come into contact with."

With this direction, everyone feels more at ease.

Zhou Yu sighed and said, "Master Wang is still amazing."

Qin Shuhuai said nothing. He smiled bitterly, stood up and said, "I'll go see the princess."

Qin Shuhuai was very busy outside, but Qin Peng was living a very comfortable life.

After threatening Lu Xiu, Qin Peng lived a very comfortable life. Lu Xiu was also afraid of her and was always worried that she would commit suicide or accuse him of torture, so he tried to hide as far away from her as possible.

When Qin Shuhuai came to see her, she was playing the pipa in the cell in a very charming manner. She was annoyed by the boredom in the cell, so Qin Shuhuai asked someone to prepare some writing instruments, ink and books for her.

Qin Peng heard Qin Shuhuai's footsteps from a distance, so she changed the tune of the pipa to a minor tune about missing her lover, and sang it in Qi dialect.

Qin Shuhuai walked to the cell door and looked at Qin Peng playing and singing, with a charming look in his eyes.

He felt helpless, but couldn't help laughing: "Stop making trouble, be serious, you are disturbing the other prisoners."

"No."

Qin Peng stopped playing the pipa and said with some pride: "I add interest to their lives, and they can't thank me enough."

"You seem to be doing well."

Qin Shuhuai waved at her: "Come here."

Upon hearing this, Qin Peng hurried over, put his hand on the edge of the cell, raised his eyebrows, and whispered: "Master, what are you going to do to me?"

Qin Shuhuai took her hand and looked down at her: "Not bad, not thin."

"You can't tell whether you're thin or not just by looking at what's here," Qin Peng moved closer to him and whispered, "Come on, look down."

Qin Shuhuai lowered his head and saw the crowded scenery.

His expression was calm. Qin Peng blinked and said, "Are you dissatisfied, sir?"

"Qin Peng," he said hoarsely, "you will do anything to get out of prison."
