Chapter 305: The Ministry of Justice's Methods

Pei Xuanyi had long known from Xixi's inner voice that the two people from the An family were the two Zhou siblings who were expelled from the capital.

However, all this was only based on little Xixi's memory, and there was no evidence, so he did not tell anyone.

However, he had already asked people to find the real An siblings. When the real An siblings were found, it would be the death of the two Zhou siblings.

The little grandson of the emperor had never liked Zhou Fangze and Zhou Fangyu before, and now looking at their hypocritical faces, he felt even more uncomfortable.

"You two are well-informed."

It was clearly said to the outside that the emperor had a fever in the middle of the night, but the two people from the An family directly said that the emperor was suffering from the plague. If it was Concubine An who told them, it would make sense. But Pei Xuanyi always felt that things were not that simple.

The An siblings were not panicked when they heard the young grandson's questioning.

"Empress An was suddenly released from prison, and I went to inquire and learned that His Majesty was suffering from the plague. I was extremely anxious, so I took my sister to pace in the palace, hoping to help His Majesty solve his problems."

"Unexpectedly, we met the guards who were delivering messages, and inadvertently heard them say that there seemed to be news about the source of this plague. So I wanted to come and see if there was anything we could do for him."

An Yuesheng bowed to the emperor with a serious expression.

"I am willing to help Your Majesty solve his problems, and I hope Your Majesty will agree to my request to investigate the source of the plague."

The emperor now had a headache and was a little confused.

However, he was very appreciative of An Yuesheng and An Yueya's behavior of coming to the palace to visit the sick. At this time, when An Yuesheng said that he wanted to contribute his strength to Daliang, he naturally agreed.

"In this case, you should follow Changle to investigate."

An Yueya was delighted when she heard this, and went over to pull Pei Xuanyi's sleeve.

Qin Xixi was still asleep this time, so nothing would go wrong.

An Yueya saw Pei Xuanyi looking at her, so she tried to make a cute expression, wanting him to like her more.

Unexpectedly, Pei Xuanyi just glanced at her lightly, shook off his sleeves and left the palace with the princess.

"Don't touch me, I hate it."

The emperor couldn't help muttering when he heard Pei Xuanyi's words.

"This kid, his cleanliness problem hasn't been cured yet."

Pei Xuanyi has had a cleanliness fetish since he was a child and doesn't like others touching him. Therefore, the emperor did not expect that Pei Xuanyi did not like Anyueya.

Anyueya could not help but bite her back teeth to pieces when she heard this.

When Pei Xuanyi was holding Qin Xixi, and when Qin Xixi peed in Pei Xuanyi's arms, Pei Xuanyi never said no!

Thinking so in her heart, Anyueya could not show it, but gritted her teeth and followed Pei Xuanyi and the others out.

The first thing the princess did after leaving the bedroom was to send a message to find Lin Qing. Although Lin Qing was just a doctor who came to study, the emperor did not take her seriously, but Pei Xuanyi and the princess knew that Lin Qing might be the key to breaking the deadlock this time.

After doing these things, the princess set out and followed the guards to the palace gate to check the letter. The beggar's body was lying in front of the palace gate, just as it had been there, untouched.

When Pei Xuanyi saw the beggar's body for the first time, an alarm bell immediately sounded in his heart. He recognized it at a glance. This beggar had appeared in Qin Shu's martial arts competition and marriage invitation meeting! He

also remembered that in that alley, the beggar was tortured beyond recognition by Qin Qixuan.

Why did the beggar appear here? Pei Xuanyi clearly remembered that Qin Qixuan said that he would take the beggar back to the Qin Mansion.

What happened in the meantime? Not only did the beggar die miserably, but he also appeared at the palace gate!

The eldest princess frowned and asked someone to call the imperial physician.

"At least we should first find out how this beggar died."

Although the eldest princess also appeared in the Qin Mansion's martial arts competition that day, she did not look at the beggar's face carefully, and her memory was far worse than Pei Xuanyi's.

So at this time, the eldest princess did not recognize that this beggar was the beggar who challenged the second brother that day. Pei Xuanyi understood that this might be a conspiracy against the Qin family, and it might even be related to the plague or even deeper secrets!

When no one noticed, he called the guards around him over, but he made a gesture, and the guards understood and went to quietly report to Qin Qixuan.

At this time, the imperial physician rushed over. It was Lin Qingye and Imperial Physician Sun who came, who were sent by the eldest princess.

If the princess hadn't called them out, Lin Qingye and the others would not have known that the emperor was actually infected with the plague.

"Come and take a look, how did this beggar die?"

Doctor Sun was more familiar with the palace, and he squatted down first to check the wounds on the beggar's body. After looking for a while, he stood up with a frown.

"Reporting to Her Royal Highness the Princess, this man was probably tortured to death. This method..."

Doctor Sun was a little hesitant, and the princess saw this and let him speak directly.

"This method looks a bit like the interrogation method of the Ministry of Justice."

The princess didn't expect that this matter would even involve the Ministry of Justice. For some reason, she suddenly felt a panic in her heart.

At this time, An Yuesheng suddenly spoke.

"I am indeed from the Ministry of Justice, but Lord Qin is more familiar with the Ministry of Justice."

These words hinted at something, and the princess frowned uncomfortably, so she had to ask someone to go and call Qin Qixuan over.

After giving the order, the princess felt that something was wrong with An Yuesheng for some reason. So she asked for some unknown reason.

"I wonder if Lord An has seen this beggar?"

An Yuesheng didn't expect that the princess could think of him.

He put away the emotions in his eyes and asked in confusion.

"There are at least a hundred beggars in the capital. Yuesheng may have seen them, but he has no impression of them now."

"And I haven't been involved in many cases. I haven't been in the capital for long, and I have never handled a case involving this beggar."

An Yuesheng looked innocent at this time.

Pei Xuanyi asked casually.

"I don't know whether this beggar has been dead for a long time or just died. The public security in the capital should not be so bad. If someone found the beggar's body, they would definitely report it to the police. Since the Ministry of Justice has not seen the beggar's body, could it be that the beggar was hidden by someone before, waiting to cause a commotion at this critical moment?"

An Yuesheng blinked innocently.

"This... I don't know. However, His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor really has a rich imagination!"

Pei Xuanyi snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The eldest princess looked at the beggar's face and always felt that it was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
