The prefect Zhao Cheng received a report, and when he heard that it was the matter of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, he hurriedly led people to Mingyue Lane.

The yamen is only two streets away from Mingyue Lane, and it is only two teas to arrive quickly.

The time was neither early nor late, Liu Si's body happened to be fished out of the well not long ago.

The movement was really too loud, and it alarmed the whole house.

Although the owners of the houses did not show up, they all sent people to investigate.

There were only a lot more onlookers than Fang Cai.

The porter led the prefect and the servant to the well, and Zhou Ping, the chief steward beside Xuanping Hou Shen Ji, also arrived at the scene almost at the same time.

The heavily guarded military general Hou Mansion found a dead body, which is not a glorious thing in the end.

Mother Ann stepped forward and told Steward Zhou about the matter concisely.

While ordering people to drink and dismiss irrelevant servants and maids, Steward Zhou asked people to bring tables and chairs, serve refreshments, and whisper in the ear of Governor Zhao.

“…… Hou Ye's meaning, please raise your noble hand, big things into small, small things into nothing, inherit the favor of Lord Fuzun, and repay the spring in the future......"

Zhao Cheng came in a hurry, just to rush to this sentence, and smiled, "Tell Shen Hou for this official, the effort of raising your hands is not enough to worry about." In the future, the Shen family and the Zhao family will come and go more, and the concubine Niangniang will also think about the good of the Hou Ye. ”

Zhou Pinglian claimed that it was.

Seeing Zhao Chengchao and Yacha glancing at him, he was completely relieved.

Shen Lingxi watched coldly from the sidelines, taking in their expressions.

Seeing that he had received Zhao Cheng's hint, he hastily examined the corpse.

When the yacha picked up a wine jug next to the well, he made a conclusion, "The deceased had no external injuries all over his body, but he fell into the water after drinking and drowned accidentally." ”

Fell into the water and drowned accidentally.

As soon as the results of such an autopsy are released, the government can directly close the case when the identity of the deceased is ascertained.

In this way, the discovery of the body in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion today will be gently revealed, and the face of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion will be saved, and it will not become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in the capital.

Since Shen Lingxi performed so excitedly, he naturally wouldn't let them fool around like this.

She walked to the corpse, looked at the deceased, and asked for advice in a soft and clear voice, "Dare to ask the adult, the deceased was more than seven feet tall, and accidentally fell into the well, around this well, there should be footprints or rubbing marks, and there should be bumps and bruises on the head and legs of the deceased, there are no two things, how can it be concluded that he fell into the well?" ”

His face changed slightly.

The girl in front of her is a knowledgeable person when she hears it.

Zuo: "If you are drunk and seek death, you will jump down by yourself, and there will naturally be no scars on your body." As for the other traces...... The body should have been salvaged by the government, but your government took the initiative to salvage the body, destroying the scene, and there is no way to verify it. ”

Shen Lingxi chuckled, "If he dies by suicide, he must first determine his identity, and the government should verify his motive for suicide before making this conclusion, you don't even know his identity, how can you tell that he committed suicide after drinking, not drunk?" ”

"That's why I just said he was drunk and stumbled." There was already a hint of impatience in his eyes, and he waved his hand in the direction of the prefect, "As for whether it is suicide or not, it is naturally up to the prefect to judge." ”

Governor Zhao was on the side, and he was talking happily with Steward Zhou, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he looked at them suspiciously.

Seeing this, Steward Zhou said in a low voice: "This is the sister-in-law who went to Jinxian Guan to fight Jiao today, and the body was found when she was doing it." ”

"How?" Governor Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly, stood up, and took two steps closer to Shen Lingxi, his eyes full of scrutiny.

Shen Lingxi didn't realize it, and asked for advice, "Since it is a misstep, according to common sense, 'the deceased has water foam in his mouth and nose, water in his belly, and his abdomen is slightly swollen, so he is really drowned and died.'" 1. If you say that he stumbled after drinking, it means that he can still move before he dies. Since they can move, after drowning, people will inevitably struggle in the water and choke on well water. The inside of the well is narrow, and with his size, his hands and feet must have rubbed against the wall of the well when he struggles......"

At this point, she paused, pointed to the corpse, and pretended to be ignorant and asked, "But this man's belly is not swollen, there is no water foam flowing out of his mouth and nose, and the nails of his hands and feet are even cleaner, and there is no mud or moss at all." With just a flask, how can you tell if he fell into a well and drowned, or if he was killed by someone? ”

What Shen Lingxi said is clearly organized, even people who don't understand autopsy can understand it.

Although it is not stated, it is more convincing than the hasty conclusions.

Although some of the onlookers present have been driven away by Steward Zhou, those who remain are stewards with heads and faces in each room.

Everyone thought that this masked Dao Gu just knew some divination and exorcism techniques.

Unexpectedly, she still knew how to perform an autopsy.

Shen Lingxi's inquiry, every sentence hit the point, if he continued to quibble, he would definitely reveal a bigger flaw, so he had to look at the prefect Zhao Cheng for help.

"Wait." Zhao Cheng finally heard that this was Shen Lingxi's voice.

His eyes widened, and he angrily walked up to her, pointing to the mask on her face, "Okay! Shen Lingxi, do you think that if you wear a mask, the official will not recognize you? I haven't settled accounts with you yet, so it's not good to stay in your coffin shop, and run out to make trouble for the official, right? ”

Zhao Cheng wanted to strangle Shen Lingxi at this time.

No one in this capital knows, Xuanping Hou Shen Ji wants to save face the most, the dead body is fished out in the Hou Mansion, if it is spread out, together with Yao Niang's case, it can make the Xuanping Hou Mansion completely become the laughing stock of the capital.

Shen Ji didn't want the government to investigate, and Zhao Cheng, who was the prefect, didn't bother to care.

Let the Qi Zuo test a "stumbling and drowning", everyone will be happy, and it can also give Shen Ji a favor, and promote the friendship between the Zhao and Shen families.

But now Shen Lingxi suddenly ran out and intervened in this foot, the favor was gone, and he had to make a revenge, it was simply roasting him, the prefect, on the fire!

In the past two years, Shen Lingxi has secretly ruined many good things for him, and today, Zhao Cheng really can't bear it anymore.

Today, he will definitely arrest this dead girl and put her in the government prison, so that she can taste the bitterness.

"Come on, arrest this demon girl who has bewitched the public and repeatedly obstructed the official from handling the case!" Zhao Cheng ordered angrily.

Since the yacha were brought to the Hou Mansion by Zhao Cheng, they were Zhao Cheng's cronies, and they knew that he hated Shen Lingxi deeply, so they directly surrounded him, drew their sabers, and put them on Shen Lingxi's neck.

He also rudely removed the mask from her face.

When everyone saw Shen Lingxi's beautiful and delicate face, they all gasped.

This is the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.

Everyone knows that the "Shen Lingxi" from the coffin shop is the real daughter who was brought back to the house by Hou Ye yesterday.

What's more, she still has a pair of eyes that resemble the late Mrs. Hou's An......
