Hearing the sound, the coroner walked to the corpse's feet, picked up the ankle and examined it carefully. He nodded thoughtfully, then covered the exposed skin with the corpse's clothes.
Although at this moment, in the eyes of the coroner, this girl had died a tragic death, and they had dug up her grave, so they couldn't let her continue to be naked.
The coroner carried his small wooden box and slowly climbed up. The pit where the coffin was buried was very deep, so he was quite careful, even though his movements seemed a bit funny to Feng Qingge.
"Your Highness, my lord, it's done."
In the end, Feng Qingge couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him up, otherwise the coroner would still be dawdling down there.
When the coroner came up, the others turned around, and since Liu'er's clothes were all covered, they no longer needed to avoid suspicion.
"I just examined this young lady's body and found many bruises, all in sensitive areas, indicating she was abused before her death, and even raped. Following this young master's reminder, I examined her ankles and found a ring of heavy bruises and several finger marks, proving that she was dragged with considerable force before her death, perhaps to prevent her escape or intentionally. However, the fatal wound is definitely on her neck; this woman hanged herself." The coroner informed them of the results before they could ask any questions, and his conclusion was exactly the same as Feng Qingge's.
Therefore, the evidence is sufficient. It seems that the official who took a liking to Liu'er after listening to the music that day, perhaps intentionally, or perhaps due to drunkenness, disregarded everything and forcibly took Liu'er as his own.
Moreover, given his habits, he must have abused Liu'er in every way, which is why there are so many marks on her body.
Moreover, as everyone probably expected, this official, being in a high position, would naturally not give Liu'er the opportunity to speak up and report him. He would likely use coercion and bribery to silence the victim.
However, he probably didn't expect that Liu'er was also a woman of strong character, who would actually hang herself.
Upon hearing the conclusion, Mo Linyuan's eyes were already filled with icy coldness, his expression was somewhat tyrannical, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.
Suddenly, he spoke, his deep voice carrying a chilling coldness, "Listen to my order, search the Zhu residence, and temporarily imprison the Zhu family. If there is any resistance, they will be punished according to their lives." His words were ruthless and full of murderous intent.
This incident is just the beginning, and it's also a warning to others, so whoever takes the lead will suffer the consequences.
"Yes." A voice responded from the shadows, but the person was nowhere to be seen; it was likely a bodyguard.
Upon hearing this, it became clear to everyone that the Regent intended to exterminate them all, so they all lowered their heads and made themselves as insignificant as dust.
Feng Qingge sighed. It seemed unlikely that anyone from the Zhu family would emerge alive. Judging from the current situation, even if nothing was found during the search of the Zhu residence, Mo Linyuan would fabricate another charge. Moreover, given the Zhu family's owner's character, the household was unlikely to be entirely clean.
Just as she expected, after returning to the city from the suburban cemetery that day, someone carrying an imperial edict sealed off the Zhu residence.
All three hundred people in the mansion, including maids and servants, were imprisoned in the dungeon.
Judging from the items confiscated from Zhu's residence, it seems that Lord Zhu was quite corrupt during his lifetime; at the very least, he was a major corrupt official.
