Chapter 136: Qin ShiyuWhen Jing Rong mentioned Wei Yi’s love fordid not knohen it started, but he began treating Wei Yi a bit better Wrong, this was his well-planned strategy to gain so the Lin capital case, Ji Yunshu held some suspicions She returned the tassel to her sleeve before looking up at Jing Rong and asking, “To investigate the Lin capital case, I need to unseal the coffins of the 72 bodies All of them need to have a portraitperson in this tragedy is…” She had yet to finish speaking when Jing Rong interrupted her

“You mean that since this is a eneration of the imperial family, the request to unseal the coffins to paint the portraits of the deceased is bound to ie of people Therefore, you’re worried that this rasped by Jing Rong She nodded Her dried lips curved down before she said, “If we talk about unsealing one coffin, a co 72 coffins Does your Highness have the assurance for this? Will the Euarantee that the request will be agreed to” He replied sharply He frowned “Moreover, we can’t unseal all 72 of them At most, ill have the authorization to unseal 67 coffins”

“Huh?”

“Well, five of the corpses are the Imperial Duke and his family and they are already buried inside the iet access to their coffins Therefore, theperson could only be a servant within the Duke residence You only need to request for I of 67 coffins”

“Ah! So it was like this”

“When the investigation of the case began, no one would think that there would be a need to unseal the coffins one day After all, there was no precedent for this I never knew that this world would have so a portrait just based on the bone structure of the skeleton”

Was he praising her? Either way, he was throwing a big probleree to her request, even if she had great drawing skills, the paper would remain blank without the corpses “Then, what’s our next step? The issue of unsealing the coffins, bad or good, is absolutely not a trifling ’s brows re o meet Lord Qin and discuss the issue with him We will decide on what to do after In short, we reat efforts on this case He had brought Ji Yunshu to the capital Not toso for 67 coffins would not stop hi went to the Qin er days, he was a great general, but nowadays he took office as the army’s secretary From a military officer, he became a civil servant Due to his close friendship with the Ihter of the whole fa the case for the past 14 years It was only around half a year ago that he discovered three suspicious points which allowed him to appeal to reverse the verdict

The three points were:

On the day the Iround, the Duke’s army received an order to transfer the soldiers to the aric aside, for the lord to transfer his private army to an army secretary, there would only be two reasons: an exceptional situation occurred within the capital or it was the emperor’s decree However, none of those reasons applied to the situation which indicated that the Ieneral, who had the Duke’s command plate and used it to transfer the troops, suddenly died not long after the event This timely coincidence was incredibly fishy

There were 73 people within the I to the coroner and, based on the list of servants working for the Duke, the comparison showed a disparity with the nuedy If they could find that person, they would probably be able to crack this case!

Due to all kinds of reasons, and after great effort and perseverance, Qin Shiyu was finally able to appeal to the e Rong stood in front of the entrance of the Qin , there’s no need for you to come here yourself You could send someone to notify me and this humble one will meet you at your residence”

“It isn’t a bother Further a ca which hindered his mobility In addition, he had kneeled for three days and three nights at the Nanzhe gate which aggravated his injury After that, he could no longer tolerate standing for long because of the pain

Both ed opposite to each other while a servant poured tea for the, in your letter, you ht back a person Can this person really solve this case?” asked Qin Shiyu

Jing Rong sighed before picking up the cup of tea and taking a sip Seeing him like that, Qin Shiyu pondered yet could not understand his behavior Thus, he probed Jing Rong, “Prince Rong, your mind seems burdened Could it be there’s an unforeseen proble this half a year I have traveled tothe servants of the Imperial Duke, based on the list compiled by the Ministry of Revenue, in order to find theto find a needle in a haystack and the result was fruitless”
