Her words reminded Dongfang Hong.

Dongfang Hong moved to touch his face. Sure enough, a human skin mask was pulled out.

A smile appeared at the corner of Chu Tiankuo's mouth: "Lord Dongfang, re-paste the human skin mask to him." ”

Dongfanghong hesitated for a moment, then did so.

Next, he resealed the lid of the coffin and put it back in its original form.

Chu Tiankuo shrugged innocently, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Dongfang, you have also seen it." It was not Ji Zheng himself who was lying in the coffin. Ji Zheng really cheated to death. ”

Dongfang Hongtie blushed, pursed his lips, and said half-loudly: "You go back with me." I reported the matter to Lord Fang, and the truth quickly came out. ”

Chu Tiankuo lowered his head and pondered. Although it has been confirmed that Ji Zheng cheated to death, how easy is it to ask the government to arrest Ji Zheng?

Now, rumors have spread all over the rivers and lakes, and the only way to restore his reputation is to expose Ji Zheng's conspiracy at the martial arts conference. At that time, not only can he be given justice, but he can also call the martial arts people to help find Ji Zheng.

There is not much time left until the martial arts conference is held. He had to arrive at Epiphany Mountain before the martial arts conference was held to avoid missing the martial arts conference.

After pondering for a long time, he politely rejected Dongfang Hong: "Lord Dongfang, I have other important things to do, and I can't go back to the yamen with you for the time being." I'm sorry. ”

Dongfang Hong raised his head and looked at the sky, then looked at Chu Tiankuo, and the corners of his lips pursed slightly: "Chu Tiankuo, what other major event is comparable to now, how important is it to wash away your grievances?" ”

His voice was a little dull.

They all looked at Dongfang Hong, and then turned their heads to look at Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo smiled faintly, and told the truth: "Don't hide it, I rushed to attend the martial arts conference on the fifth day of the fifth month of May." ”

Dongfang Hong was stunned. Thinking of Lord Fang's entrustment and the admonition in Lord Feng's letter, his brows furrowed slightly.

He said: "There are still many days before the fifth day of the fifth month of May. You come back to the yamen with me first. In a few days, it is not too late to set off to go to the Changfeng Dart Bureau to add the martial arts conference. ”

Chu Tiankuo shook his head. Afraid that things will change, he still wants to reach Tanhua Mountain as soon as possible, and his heart is steady.

After some painstaking persuasion, Chu Tiankuo just refused to follow him back to the yamen.

Chu Tiankuo clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "Lord Dongfang, don't say goodbye." I'll come to my door another day to apologize. ”

Dongfanghong knew that Chu Tiankuo was stubborn, could not persuade him, and was speechless.

Yanxiang smiled at Dongfang Hong and followed.

Shui Wei and Lu Cai'er saluted Dongfang Hong, and also followed Chu Tiankuo.

Dongfang Hong looked at the backs of a few people who were far away, shook his head, and sighed softly. He had to go back to the yamen alone to resume his life.

As Chu Tiankuo expected, after Steward Yang and the others woke up, they only blamed themselves for being greedy for beauty and making a mistake, and they didn't dare to report the matter to Ji Zheng.

The coffin was opened for an autopsy, and Xiangye and Ji Zheng did not know.

When Dongfang Hong returned to the yamen, he reported the matter of opening the coffin to Lord Fang.

After hearing this, Master Fang stroked his beard and made no sound.

Dongfang Hong asked as a matter of course: "My lord." Is it possible to order the arrest of Ji Zheng? ”

Master Fang's face was solemn, and his face was dazed and worried, he paced back and forth in the room, and then said, "Dongfang Catcher, you are thinking about things too simply. You secretly opened the coffin for an autopsy, but it cannot be used as evidence. ”

Dongfang Hong was slightly surprised, and hurriedly replied: "There were other people at the scene, there were three witnesses, and they all saw it with their own eyes. ”

Lord Fang glanced at Dongfang Hong, lowered his head and sighed: "Ji Zheng is the emperor's posthumous peace." If you secretly open the coffin for an autopsy, once you are held accountable, not only will you be in trouble, but even a few of their witnesses will be implicated. ”

Dongfang Hong had already understood what Master Fang meant, but he felt indignant in his heart, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "Is it just to let Ji Zheng get away with it?" ”

Lord Fang was silent again, and there was silence in the room.

"Dongfang Catcher, do you have real evidence of Ji Zheng's murder?" Lord Fang's question didn't sound until a long time later.

Dongfanghong hurriedly said: "It is speculated that Ji Zheng is very suspicious. ”

Master Fang's face was expressionless, his eyes darkened, he let out a long sigh, and said, "Handling cases pays attention to evidence, and you can't take it for granted." Even if you let you prove that Ji Zheng is not dead, I am afraid that he will not be able to cure his crime. ”

Dongfang Hong couldn't help but admire Chu Tiankuo's high IQ. He probably understood why Chu Tiankuo didn't go back to the yamen with him. What Lord Fang said, Chu Tiankuo should have thought of it a long time ago.

In this way, this is a really tricky matter.

Dongfang Hong gasped and asked, "My lord." If you say that, you can't bear him, can you? ”

Lord Fang looked at him sideways: "Everything is done according to the law. When the emperor returns to the palace, I will ask for the coffin to be opened for an autopsy. Then you can justifiably investigate him. ”

Dongfang Hong sighed. No wonder Chu Tiankuo asked him to re-glue the human skin mask to the face of the fake Ji Zheng's corpse. It turned out that he kept this hand so that he could open the coffin again for an autopsy in the future.

At the end, Master Fang spoke: "Dongfang Catcher, you should follow Gongzi Chu closely during this time." Be sure to protect him. ”

Dongfanghong took the order.

In the Lingcui Pavilion, Mei'er couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw the smoke incense coming back with Chu Tiankuo and Shui Wei.

After dinner, the gossipy Mei'er went to Yanxiang's room to chat with her.

When Meier entered the room, she saw Smoke Incense sitting at the table, and she sat down with her. She asked curiously, "Miss." Where did the three of you go during the day? ”

Yanxiang's eyes widened, and she was unhappy: "Mei'er, why don't you talk about love with your lover, what are you doing gossiping?" ”

Mei'er stuck out her tongue and chuckled, "Miss." Seeing that you have reconciled with the young owner, I am relieved. ”

She muttered in her heart: The cigarette girl is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. The anger quickly dissipates after a while. In the final analysis, it is still deeply affectionate to the young owner.

The cigarette had forgotten about this stubble, but after Mei'er mentioned it, the anger of being teased by the senior brother rose again.

Her face immediately hung down: "Mei'er, I'm tired." I want to rest early. You go back to your room first. ”

Meier looked out the window, the moon had not yet come out, and it was still early. She grinned, "It's still early. Miss, what time is it, and you're going to sleep so early? I'd like to hear about you and the young owner. ”

The cigarette gave her a blank look, her eyes turned, and she spitted, "Why are you asking my senior brother?" If you have that spare time, let's go and accompany your lover more. ”

Meier was stunned. A coquettish laugh erupted.

Disastrous. She just asked a few words, and the cigarette girl is also competitive? It feels like I've knocked over a vinegar jar.

Smoke glared at her sideways.

Maiel rose from her seat and reluctantly exited the room.

Smoke heard a 'squeak' behind her, and Mei'er closed the door.
