"The ministers will participate in the emperor, the queen, and His Royal Highness the Prince."

Mu Huanyan saluted them, and when she saw her, a glimmer of light flashed in Ling Ran's eyes that had been decadent.

"County Lord, please be even."

"Your Majesty."

"County Lord, today is a good day for the prince and Du Guanyue to get married, but I didn't think that Miss Du was snatched away in the middle of the road, and the most regrettable thing is that she was ruthlessly killed, which makes me very sad. The county lord is resourceful, there is something strange about this matter, and I have decided that it is up to you to fully investigate the matter. ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers are terrified, such a big matter is not trivial, and the courtiers really don't know if they have the strength to find out about this matter."

"I know it's a bit tricky, but I believe in your strength."

Mu Huanyan knew that it was difficult for him to escape this matter, so he said: "Although the courtiers are the emperor's personal lords of Heyue County, after all, they have no right to investigate the case, and if they go to investigate the case, they will definitely be subject to a lot of constraints, and ask the emperor to give the courtiers a thing that represents power, which can make it easier for the courtiers to act." ”

"The Lord of Heyue County listens to the order."

Hearing the emperor say these words, she immediately knelt on the ground.

"I ordered the county lord of Heyue to investigate the cause of Miss Du's death, and gave me a jade pendant with me, and at the same time, Lord Zheng Yuanhua, the secretary of Dali Temple, must fully assist the county lord of Heyue in his investigation."

The emperor took off a piece of jade pendant that he often carried on his body and handed it to Gonggong Chen, who sent it to Mu Huanyan, she took the jade pendant and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

"The situation of the third prince has improved, you can go out of the palace today to handle this matter."

"The courtiers are going to say goodbye to the third prince."

"Good. Let's go down. ”

After Mu Huanyan retreated, Empress Du and Ling Ran also came out of the hall, Ling Ran called out Huanyan, she stopped and saluted him and the queen.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, please mourn Miss Du's accident today."

"I also want to know who she was victimized by, if you need my help, just ask."

"Okay."

Empress Du felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Ling Ran's eyes looking at Mu Huanyan. But he smiled and said: "I hope the county lord can find the real murderer as soon as possible." ”

"Thanks to the Queen's good words. The courtiers will definitely investigate this matter. ”

After Queen Du and Ling Ran left, Mu Huanyan entered the side hall, and Ling Mo sat on the bed calmly and saw her come in. A weird smile appeared on his face.

"The Three Princes. I'm leaving the palace today. This is the rest of the medicine for you. Mu Huanyan took out a porcelain bottle from his body and handed it to him, and there were a few intoxicating pills in it.

Ling Mo took the porcelain vase. said: "Huan Yan, I wish you to find out the real culprit as soon as possible." ”

She smiled and nodded, said goodbye to him, and then went to the Tai Hospital to find Amu, and went out of the palace with Amu, and when she returned to Mufu, it was already dark.

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Huanyan took Amu and Chen Xue to Du Mansion together, the door of Du Mansion was already full of white flags, a mourning hall was set up, and there were many people who came and went to mourn.

Dali Temple Qing Zheng Yuanhua and Shaoqing Cheng Xizong also stood at the door, and when they saw Mu Huanyan, they walked over.

"County lord, you've been waiting for a long time." Zheng Yuanhua received the emperor's decree last night, and cooperated with Mu Huanyan to investigate the matter, so he brought Shaoqing Cheng Xizong and some catchers to Du Mansion, although Mu Huanyan had two unimaginable expressions in the court, but Zheng Yuanhua is a person who abides by the old rules, and he thinks that it is not a good thing for a woman to show up, and he has no good impression of Mu Huanyan.

"Lord Zheng, Master Cheng, let's go in together."

The Du family was in a gloomy situation, Prime Minister Du and Mrs. Du stood in front of the mourning hall to accept the condolences of the guests, Prime Minister Du was a man after all, but the grief in his heart was not as crying as Mrs. Du.

The deceased is the greatest, Mu Huanyan, Lord Zheng and Lord Cheng went to the incense, burned the paper, walked up to Prime Minister Du Cheng and said, "Prime Minister Du Cheng mourns." ”

The husband and wife returned a salute, and Mu Huanyan said: "Prime Minister Du, Miss Du suffered an accident this time, I deeply regret it, her death is unknown, the emperor is very concerned about this matter, last night, I was ordered by the emperor to come to investigate the case, and I must return Prime Minister Du Cheng's innocence." ”

"There is the county lord of Lao." Du Chengxiang's face was expressionless, he and Mu Yaotian were opponents of the DPRK and China, so he naturally didn't like Mu Yaotian's daughter.

"To investigate this case, I must see Miss Du's body."

As soon as Mu Huanyan said this, Mrs. Du stepped forward and wanted to slap her, but Chen Xue reacted quickly, immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist, and looked at her viciously.

"My daughter is already in the coffin, and you are disrespectful to the deceased by doing this." Mrs. Du glared at Mu Huanyan, and Mu Huanyan motioned for Chen Xue to let go of her hand.

"Mrs. Du, I know you are very sad, but if you don't look at Miss Du's body and can't find the cause of her death, how can you find out the real culprit? Does Mrs. Du want to see the real murderer go unpunished? In that case, how can Miss Du be blind? ”

"No matter what, I'm not going to let you touch my daughter's body."

"If Mrs. Du is worried that Miss Du's body will be injured, I can guarantee that she will not be hurt in the slightest, just take a look." Mu Huanyan knew that it was impossible to thoroughly inspect Du Wanyue's body, so she brought Amu, who had excellent medical skills and might be able to replace him.

Mu Huanyan saw that Mrs. Du didn't say anything, and looked at Prime Minister Du again, "Prime Minister Du, what do you think?" ”

"No, I won't agree to that." The body has been placed in the coffin, and according to common sense, it really shouldn't be alarmed anymore.

Mu Huanyan knew that he would encounter these troubles in the process of investigating the case, so he took out the emperor's jade pendant, held it up, and said loudly: "Yin is the emperor's royal jade pendant, I believe all adults have seen it, and the emperor said that seeing this pendant is like seeing the emperor in person." ”

The ministers have been in contact with the emperor all the year round, how could they not know this pendant, so they knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

Mu Huanyan continued to say to Prime Minister Du Cheng: "I came here today to be ordered by the emperor, this is a token, and I also ask Prime Minister Du Cheng to assist me in handling the case, otherwise it will be regarded as resisting the decree." ”

Zheng Yuanhua just received the emperor's order to assist Mu Huanyan in investigating the case, and he didn't know that the emperor had given her such a big right, it seems that this woman's impression in the emperor's heart is extraordinary.

Since it is the emperor's order, it makes no sense for Prime Minister Du and Mrs. Du to resist any longer.

"Please also ask the county lord not to harm my daughter's body." Prime Minister Du had agreed to the matter, and Mrs. Du burst into tears, "My poor daughter, you died inexplicably when you were still so young, and you can't live in peace after you die, my mother is sorry for you." ”

"Shut up." Prime Minister Du reprimanded Mrs. Du, and she immediately didn't dare to make any more noise.

After the coffin was opened, Mu Huanyan saw Du Wanyue lying inside, the skin on her face was pale and bulging, which looked like it was because she had been soaked in water for too long.

"Amu, you can check it."

While Amu was inspecting, Mu Huanyan also observed carefully, and she promised Prime Minister Du that she could not touch Du Wanyue's body, so she could only look at the appearance.

Through clothes, there is no way to see many things clearly, except for the face, neck and limbs, other places naturally cannot be seen.

Amu carefully examined, found some marks on her neck, pinched her mouth and looked at it, when she checked her hand, she held it tightly with one hand, Amu took a lot of effort to break her hand away, surprisingly, she held a piece of cloth in her hand, Amu took out the cloth, put it in the box he carried, and then touched her skin again. With a slight push, there are signs of peeling. Amu grabbed her sleeves and looked at her arms, and straightened her clothes.

Then he walked to the other side of the coffin and looked at her other hand, which still had a piece of flesh in his fingernail.

After basically reading the places that can be seen, Amu nodded to Mu Huanyan, she looked at Du Guanyue in the coffin, and said, "Miss Du, I'm sorry to disturb you, I will find out the real murderer for you, you can rest in peace." ”

Prime Minister Du said: "Have you found anything?" ”

"When I find out, I will naturally inform Prime Minister Du Cheng, and I will take the first step." He didn't pay attention to Lord Zheng and Lord Du, and left the Du Mansion with Amu and Chen Xue on his own.

Yesterday, when eavesdropping on the conversation between Zhang Xianfeng and the emperor, Zhang Xianfeng said that Du Guanyue was found in the moat, and her next step was to go to the moat.

As she walked along the road, Amu reported to her what he had inspected.

"Miss, Du Guanyue's mouth is very clean, it can be seen from this that she is by no means drowning, if she is drowning, there will definitely be some dirt in her mouth. Then there were some marks on her neck, and the Shougong sand on her arm was gone, she should have been ...... "Amu is young after all, and when it comes to this, he is a little embarrassed, so he didn't say any more, Mu Huanyan is not stupid, and he understands after hearing this."

"Go on."

"Miss Du's skin peels off as soon as she pushes, which means that she has been soaking in the water for a long time, I heard you say that she was found in the evening, presumably she was killed shortly after she was robbed, and then there is this piece of cloth, it must have been torn from the murderer when she was struggling, you can see it by looking at the gaps in the fabric."

"Very well analyzed." Although Du Guanyue's body cannot be comprehensively examined, the cause of death analyzed now is still similar, Mu Huanyan summed it up, that is, after Du Guanyue was snatched away, then he was insulted, killed, and thrown into the moat.

"Amu, Chen Xue, you said that the murderer could just kill Miss Du after insulting her, why did you throw her into the river." Mu Huanyan was puzzled.

Amu replied: "Actually, it's very simple, if you throw it in the river, it's easy to wash away the evidence left on her body, if it's at the scene of the crime, there will definitely be more loopholes, and now we just don't know where Miss Du was killed?" (To be continued......)
