He glanced at Ye Qiu'er and asked, "Xiao Ye, what do you think about this matter?" Ye Qiu'er smiled and said, "It turned out to be the corpse we found, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with this county official asking us to be a witness." And this corpse was thrown into the river many years ago, and even if something happens, it has nothing to do with us, so I think we should go for it. It's just that Prince Su has a noble status, if you don't want to show people head-on, you can tell the county magistrate that you will listen to the trial behind the scenes. ”

Su Wang Ye thought about it, if he appeared in the yamen with such a noble status, no matter whether there was anything or not, he was afraid that he would be rumored to be rumored, and his reputation would not be good, so it was best to hear it behind the scenes. So, he and Ye Qiu'er followed the officials to the county office.

However, after arriving at the county office, the county lord didn't give him the opportunity to go behind the scenes to hear the trial, but said directly to Su Qin: "Lord Su, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that human life is involved now, so Prince Su should not pay attention to it so much."

Moreover, I think that this human life may not have been thrown into the river to die, but was poisoned by someone. Speaking of which, he pulled Su Qin over to see, there were indeed traces of being beaten on the man's head, although the body had been seriously decomposed, but the crack in the skull could not deceive people, and then he asked Su Qin to come out and tell Su Qin, saying that a section of the corpse had been poisoned in the bone, and it was in the throat, and it seemed that someone had been poisoned, it seemed that it was a murder.

Su Qin frowned and asked the county official: "What if it's a murder case? What does this have to do with my lyricism? I just found this corpse and brought him to the yamen, do you still want me to help you find the murderer?"

The county official saw that Su Qin was a little unhappy, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Su, of course I didn't mean that, I just want to say that if this matter involves a bigger case, I also hope that Lord Su can support me." After all, I'm an official and a new official, so I'm afraid that I will have to bother Prince Su to help me with many things. ”

Su Qin nodded and said: "This naturally doesn't matter, and didn't you also say that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, as long as you have this sentence and this belief, no matter how high the other party's status is, can't you also deal with him?"

Ye Qiu'er couldn't help but ask: "Master, you see that this corpse is indeed murder, but it has been corrupted for many years, I'm afraid that this murderer will not be easy to find, right?"

The county lord nodded and said, "Indeed, this person doesn't know who his name is, let alone where he came from, but he only knows that he was murdered, so if you want to find the murderer, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult!"

Ye Qiu'er touched her chin and thought about it, and then said to the county lord: "However, it is not so difficult to find the owner of this corpse and who killed it. You see, we found this corpse in the middle of the river, and there seem to be some traces of heavy objects binding on this corpse, if the county lord goes down to salvage it now, maybe there will be other evidence!"

The county lord was very happy when he heard Ye Qiu'er's reminder, and hurriedly said to the officials: "Yes, yes, go to the river and continue to fight, see what else can be played?" So several officials took people who were proficient in water to go fishing in the river.

Su Qin saw that Ye Qiu'er was indeed smart, but he was a little nosy, and couldn't help but remind him: "This matter is something that the county master wants to do, we don't have to get angry." ”

Ye Qiu'er knew that Su Qin didn't want to help him, so she nodded and said, "Lord Su, I won't talk much in the future." The county lord didn't hear what Su Qin meant at all, and said with a smile: "Where is this nosy, this is a big favor for the lower officials." If this official finds out the real culprit, he will definitely report it to the court, and thank you very much!"

Su Qin sneered in his heart, do I need these rewards? Then the county magistrate said, "Is there anything else?" If there is nothing else, I will go back first. ”

The county lord wanted to see if Su Qin was really unhappy at this time, and he didn't know where he offended him, but he didn't dare to continue to stay, so he smiled and said: "This is natural, if you need help, go and ask Prince Su again." ”

Su Qin sighed and said, "What can I help you? If you really have anything to ask, go directly to the house, and after asking, just change back, you don't need to let me run again." I'm ashamed that I just ran away, and I didn't help the adults. ”

What he said was that there was something in the words, and it was extremely ironic, no matter how stupid those old men were, they understood it, so they hurriedly laughed and said, "Exactly, exactly." Then, send Prince Su and Ye Qiu'er back. On the way back, Su Qin glared at Ye Qiu'er, and then asked, "Why did you remind that county official?"

Ye Qiu'er smiled and said, "I naturally have to remind him, and I want to help him, if I can help him solve this case, I'm afraid he will be grateful to us." Didn't I tell Prince Su before? This new official has always been very incorruptible, and he should not participate in partisan disputes in the court.

If we can give him benefits, or make him feel that we are like-minded, then we will become a great thing, and he will naturally be obedient, because we are not thin on him, and such people can be of great use in the future. ”

That's right, but Su Qin didn't want to hear such words anymore. Su Qin shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't care about him." ”

Ye Qiu'er couldn't help Su Qin anymore, so she didn't say anything more and followed Su Qin back.

However, Su Qin also seemed to be very concerned about the case and always sent people to keep an eye on it. Ye Qiu'er always felt that this Su Qin seemed to have discovered something. However, since Su Qin didn't tear her face, she kept pretending not to know, and still lived as usual.

However, she soon received information that the official had recovered the deceased's belongings from the river, a badly decayed piece of jewelry, and after cleaning, they found that the jewelry was engraved with the mark of Gao Shangshu's home. In other words, this deceased is from Shangshufu, but I haven't heard of anyone dying in Shangshufu before?

The county lord was a little embarrassed for a while, he felt that he couldn't handle this case, after all, how could he interrogate Lord Shangshu in his official position, so he had to let the case be reported.

Originally, this case involved Lord Shangshu, and with the power of Lord Shangshu in the court, anyone could suppress the case. After all, the possibility of the county lord's face being holy is almost zero.

However, what is strange is that on the second day, the fold handed over by the county lord passed the emperor's personal letter, allowing him to let go of his courage to investigate directly.

So Lord Shangshu not only found that the deceased was killed by Lord Shangshu, but also found evidence that Lord Shangshu had filled his own pockets and offered bribes.

And it even contains evidence of his fornication with Wang Suqin, who has a different surname. When this evidence was presented to the emperor, Yan Xun couldn't react.

In fact, the county official's excerpt had already been suppressed, and later Ye Qiu'er asked him to write it again, and he personally brought it into the palace for Yan Xun to read. Yan Xun also felt that there was a bit of a fuss, but it was just a female corpse, and it had been dead for so many years, so he had to interrogate Gao Shangshu, but he was afraid that there would be some fuss. However, when he saw that Ye Qiu'er was so persistent, he didn't say anything more, and criticized it with a wave of his hand.

Unexpectedly, this small murder case would involve so many things.

What he didn't expect the most was that this matter had something to do with the king with a different surname, which made Yan Xun a little incredible. At this time, the Su Mansion was almost to the point where everyone was in danger, because if the matter of Gao Shangshu's conspiracy with Su Qin spread, or let the emperor know, Su Qin would end up very miserable.
