In the case of Prince Anjun's son, the deceased was the second son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. By the time Fang Jinyu reported the case to the court, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had already made an earnest request in front of the emperor that the murderer be severely punished.

At this time, Prince An and Marquis Zhongyong were guarding the emperor's frame, which made the emperor very upset.

"Your servant Fang Jinyu has met the emperor."

Until Fang Jinyu's greetings woke up the emperor from his gloomy face. The emperor glanced at Fang Jinyu, his eyes revealing an undisguised weariness.

"How's the investigation going?"

"Your Majesty, I believe that the young master of the Loyal and Brave Marquisate was murdered, but the murderer was not the Prince of An."

As soon as Fang Jinyu said this, the Marquis of Zhongyong became angry: "You are talking nonsense. So many people saw that it was Prince An who pushed my son down the stairs. How can you confuse right and wrong? Your Majesty, please give my son justice."

Marquis Zhongyong was overwhelmed with grief and knelt upright in front of the emperor, tears streaming down his face.

"The emperor sighed and rubbed his brows helplessly. As the ruler of a country, he has enough things to do every day, but he has to deal with such a rubbish as Hu Hotline. He can't favor either the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion or the Anjun Prince's Mansion. It really makes him very embarrassed.

"Shut up, Lord Fang said that, there must be evidence. You can't judge someone for murder without evidence."

One is the son of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and the other is the prince of Prince An. They are both royal relatives, so naturally, the emperor prefers the prince of An's side.

Prince An knew what the emperor meant. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Marquis Zhongyong with pride. He thought it was impossible for him to take advantage of this opportunity to get access to Prince An's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, the railing where Wang Chun fell was sawed off in advance. Wang Chun suffered from heart failure before his death. He drank some wine before his death, which triggered heart failure. In addition, the railing was sawed off in advance, so Wang Chun fell from the building. However, after the coroner's autopsy, Wang Chun did not die from falling from a high altitude, but from heart failure."

"No, it's impossible. My son doesn't drink. He knows he has heart failure and never drinks. How could he drink?"

Marquis Zhongyong was now very anxious, his face turned pale, and it was hard to tell whether it was heartache or anger.

"Sir Wang, your son did drink before he died, and it was your son who invited his classmates to drink in the restaurant. Didn't Sir Wang know about this beforehand?"

Fang Jinyu's question made Marquis Zhongyong blush again. He really didn't remember that his son had mentioned this matter. If he remembered, he would definitely tell him not to drink.

"No, even if that's the case, even if my son was drunk, but what about the broken railings? Wasn't it sawed off in advance? It's obvious that someone wanted to harm my son. They did it on purpose. They set up my son."

The loyal and brave marquis lost his son and his emotions were a little out of control. He pointed at Prince An and said, "It must be you, it must be your son. You are jealous of my son's excellence, so you came up with this idea to harm him."

Facing this groundless accusation, Prince An snorted coldly and turned his back. The emperor also frowned at this time and fixed his eyes on Fang Jinyu.

"Sir Wang, we have found out that the Prince of An was only invited to drink with his classmates. He was not aware of the sawed-off railings of the wine shop. Your son was killed by someone, but it was not the Prince of An."

"So, it is true that Long Ruiwen pushed my son. Even if he didn't kill anyone, my son died because of him."

The Loyal and Brave Marquis refused to give in, and Fang Jinyu couldn't even guess why the Loyal and Brave Marquis kept chasing after the Prince of An.

"Sir Wang, whether the Prince of An County promoted Young Master Wang remains to be verified. However, according to my investigation of the scene, Young Master Wang would not die if he fell from the second floor of the wine shop. Prince Jing can also testify to this."

The loyal and brave marquis looked at the Prince of An unwillingly, and wanted to say something else, but he heard the emperor say: "Well, since the prince of An is innocent, let him go."

"emperor?"

The Loyal and Brave Marquis had already knelt on the ground, and his son's body was still warm. How could he close the case so hastily?

"alright."

The emperor naturally knew what Marquis Zhongyong wanted to say. He glanced at him impatiently and then looked at Fang Jinyu.

"You witnessed the scene with Prince Jing?"

"......Yes."

When Fang Jinyu saw the emperor's enthusiastic expression, he knew that the emperor had misunderstood something. The reason why he and Prince Jing were together and witnessed the crime scene was not because they got along well, but precisely because they did not get along well.

However, the emperor could not care less: "Since Prince Jing is also involved in this matter, then this case will be handed over to you and Prince Jing to jointly judge. Within three days, you must find out the real culprit and give an explanation to Lord Wang."

Fang Jinyu nodded solemnly. He could not shirk this mission. People only knew that the Emperor disliked Prince Jing, or even hated him. However, in Fang Jinyu's opinion, that was not the case. If he really disliked him, if he really hated him, how could he tolerate Prince Jing's repeated offenses against the Emperor's authority?

"I thank you for your grace."

The Loyal and Brave Marquis finally compromised, kneeling upright in front of the emperor, rolling up his sleeves and quietly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

After ten years of hard study, he was finally about to prepare for the imperial examination, but unfortunately he died. Now, the old man has to bury the young man. After this blow, the Loyal and Brave Marquis has a hunched back and looks haggard, as if he has aged ten years overnight.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Luo Xue Ning held her hands behind her back, scanning every servant with cold eyes. Among these people, there was the murderer who killed He Momo.

"Ning'er, you've been watching for so long, have you found the murderer?"

Prime Minister Luo was also quite kind. He personally supervised and accompanied Luo Xuening to find the murderer. In this way, even if someone wanted to do something small, it would not escape the eyes of everyone.

Luo Xue Ning looked back and saw that Prime Minister Luo was carefully holding the hand of the frightened Madam Ye. In front of so many people, he was trying hard to maintain his indifferent image.

"Dad, I can't tell who the murderer is at the moment."

Prime Minister Luo sighed, with a look of loss on his face. Then Luo Xue Ning said, "But, he was the one who moved He Momo's body to the side."

The servant who was pointed at by Luo Xuening was startled and his first reaction was to turn around. He clearly wanted to escape but failed.

Luo Xue Ning snorted coldly, looked down, and saw the mud on the man's feet.

"The mud on his feet is the same as the mud on the soles of He Momo's shoes. He was the one who moved He Momo's body."

"No, Fourth Miss, I didn't do that. The mud on my feet is just from accidentally stepping into the mud."

The servant started to defend himself, but Luo Xue Ning just said coldly: "The mansion is so big, and you didn't pay attention when you walked, so you stepped into the mud?"

Prime Minister Luo frowned slightly. It was not a good thing for a girl to speak so rudely.

"There is a gray hair on your back. It was accidentally rubbed onto your body when you were carrying He Momo on your back."

"It's unfair, young lady. This hair of mine belongs to my old mother. I am a servant in the family. Sometimes, when I have free time, I visit my mother and accidentally touch her hair. Now you are wrongly accusing me of a murderer."

As the servant spoke, he acted as if he was aggrieved, as if it was Luo Xue Ning who had wronged others.

“

"Really? I checked and found that your mother works in the kitchen. But you didn't even enter the kitchen door today. What's more, your mother is not that old."

In fact, He Momo is not that old, but she has worked so hard for so many years that her hair has turned white. Thinking of this, Luo Xuening felt heartbroken. She pointed at the eloquent servant and said.

"There is a piece of grey thread on your body. This thread is made of the same material as the clothes He Momo is wearing. It is obvious that you are the one who harmed others. How dare you make excuses?"

Luo Xuening's tone suddenly became heavier. She looked at the servant coldly, and it seemed as if she was looking through the servant to the murderer behind him who was silently controlling everything.

"A coincidence or an accident, but with so many doubts and solid evidence, do you still dare to say that you are not the murderer?"

Luo Xue Ning's guess was correct. The servant was guilty after all. Although he wanted to deny his crime, if Luo Xue Ning continued to talk, his crime would probably be more than just moving the corpse. Murder and moving corpses were not the same thing.

"Fourth Miss, I really didn't kill anyone, I..."

Luo Xuening was too aggressive, and she became more and more excited as she spoke. She knew that the person who moved the corpse was not the same person who killed He Momo, but she wanted to find the murderer too much.

"I just followed her request and dragged the corpse to the side of the bowl. I really didn't do anything else, sir. I really didn't do anything."

"I know you didn't kill So-so. You just need to tell me who asked you to move So-so's body."

Luo Xuening regained her composure at this time. She looked at the servant, hiding the disgust in her eyes.

However, when the servant heard this question, his eyes raised obviously. Was he unwilling?

"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Come, give this man fifty lashes of the cane and drive him out of the mansion."

Luo Xu Ning knew very well that once servants like these were kicked out, no wealthy family would want them in the future. She didn't believe how long this servant could be so stubborn.

"Miss Fourth, no, I said."
