After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 74: Throwing dirty water

"You are delaying my investigation and I will put you in jail!"

Jingzhao Yin was a little annoyed.

The old woman cried even harder, and pointed at Jingzhao Yin with trembling hands, "You are all dogs!"

"My grandson is already dead, and you're going to disembowel him!"

"You are going to make him never be reborn!!"

The Jingzhao Yin was too impatient to argue with the old woman, so he ordered two yamen runners to pull her away.

The coroner lifted the white cloth and began the autopsy.

The old woman looked at her grandson's body in danger, tilted her head, and fainted.

Jingzhao Yin took two steps forward and said, "My Lord, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and clear the name of the Black Armor Army."

"This coroner was specially borrowed from the Dali Temple by this humble official. There is no corpse that he cannot examine."

Ji Zhenming nodded with a serious face.

However, Ji Yunzhang was sharp-eyed and saw Liu Qihui, the second son of the Earl of Pingchang, at the back of the crowd.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. Liu Qirui was now in the army waiting to take over the Northwest Army, but his father recommended Qin Anjiang.

If the Liu family planned this, the biggest direct beneficiary would be the Liu family.

He tilted his head slightly and said to Wei Chi behind him, "Go check what the Liu family has been doing these past two days."

Wei Chi responded, "Yes."

The crowd was dispersed by the soldiers brought by the Jingzhao Yin. Some people who wanted to watch the fun stood twenty steps away, unwilling to leave.

Rong Peilan came out, holding the sachet given to her by Zhong and covering her mouth and nose with it.

"My husband, there is something fishy about this matter."

Ji Yunzhang nodded, "I just saw Liu Qihui in the crowd. I'm afraid the Liu family must have been involved in this."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Rong Peilan frowned, "I'm afraid this matter still needs the approval of His Majesty."

"The Liu family is the vested interest. There is no need for him to do this at this juncture. He must have your majesty's guarantee, otherwise he would not come forward now when he could easily be criticized."

Ji Yunzhang frowned. "My grandfather established the Northwest Army. If it is handed over to the Liu family, there will be no place for the Ji family in Beijing in the future."

Rong Peilan took a deep breath, and the orange scent in her mouth made her feel a little more comfortable.

"Even if the coroner finds out the truth about today's incident, His Majesty will reprimand my father-in-law for failing to exercise proper discipline."

Ji Yunzhang clenched his teeth.

"Back then, my grandfather fought a battle in the Western Jin Dynasty, and in the end, not even a complete body was found. If it weren't for that incident, how could my mother have only had me?"

"Three generations of the Ji family have already made such sacrifices. How far will Your Majesty force us?"

For the sake of the Ji family, he did not hesitate to be a reckless young man since he was young.

Even if he has great ambitions, he cannot show them.

He and his mother were trapped in Yanjing and couldn't leave.

They are just hostages in your majesty's hands.

A hostage who made his father work for him.

Rong Peilan reached out and quietly held his hand. The two of them leaned close to each other, with the wide sleeves covering their hands.

She could only hold his hand tightly.

"Sir, preliminary investigation shows that this man died of a stroke."

The coroner stood up and took off the mask on his face.

The old woman beside him immediately came to her senses, jumped up, pointed at the coroner and yelled, "Stop slandering my grandson!"

"He is still a virgin, what's the matter with the sudden attack?"

"I think you are just protecting each other!"

The coroner frowned, "You can say that my skills are not good, but you can't say that I have a bad character!"

"What's more, you said yourself that he died at home after dark after he returned." "It is impossible for his body to be rigid for such a short time. Unless he had sex before his death, his body would not be rigid like this."

The old woman's eyes flickered.

The coroner snorted coldly, "Besides, your grandson has heart palpitations. Don't you know that?"

"You dare to make your heart palpitations so intense? You really want to die."

As he said this, he lifted the dead man's clothes and saw many nail marks on his chest and shoulder blades.

Jingzhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the old woman with a fierce face, "He was not disciplined and died in a woman's bed, and he dared to slander the Black Armor Army."

"You know the rules of our dynasty. Anyone who falsely accuses three or four people will be caned 100 times and sentenced to three years in prison. If it is five or six people, it will be caned 100 times and exiled 3,000 miles."

"There are more than 300 Black Armor soldiers. How many lives do you have to go into exile?"

The old woman's hand shrank for a moment, then she thought of what the man said and immediately straightened her chest.

"You are all officials, I don't understand these things!"

"I only know that my eldest grandson was fine when he went out during the day, but he died that night after being beaten. You must give me an explanation!"

The old woman simply started to act like a spoiled child and sat down on the ground refusing to leave.

Ji Yunzhang held back his temper and stepped forward and said, "The coroner has examined it and found that this man's death has nothing to do with the Black Armor Army, and even less to the Marquis' Mansion."

"If you are so stubborn, you can go to the Dali Temple and file a complaint."

The old woman ignored Ji Yunzhang and just lay on the ground, cursing and rolling, "Give me back my oldest grandson!"

"My poor child! You haven't even got a wife, and you don't even have any offspring!"

"These damn things have killed you!!"

Rong Peilan frowned. This woman looked like a tough kid. How could she dare to act like this in front of Marquis Xinling and Yin Jingzhao unless someone instructed her to do so.

She stared at the old woman and said coldly, "How much silver did Young Master Liu give you to make trouble?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then continued, "What Mr. Liu or Mr. Ma? I don't know them!"

Ji Yunzhang snorted lightly. There was still something unclear about it.

Just as he was about to ask someone to throw the old woman out, Ji Zhenming took two steps forward.

His sharp eyes stared at the old woman who was crying and acting in front of him.

"Old woman, the government will check it, there will be no mistakes."

"If you give someone an advantage, Lord Jingzhao Yin is here and will naturally give you justice."

"If you continue to be stubborn, the people at the border are well aware of my tactics in the army, but the people in Beijing are not aware of them. I don't mind using you, an old woman, as a scapegoat."

Ji Zhenming has been in the army for many years, and he exudes a sense of intimidation that ordinary people find difficult to look directly at.

The old woman didn't dare look at him.

He could only murmur and finally couldn't utter a word.

-

In a teahouse on Xicheng Street.

By the window on the second floor, a white figure stood by the window, from where one could vaguely see a corner of the Xinling Marquis Mansion.

Liu Qihui, the second son of the Liu family, who had been in the crowd just now, pushed the door open and came in.

"Mr. Mu."

Mu Chun tilted his head slightly, and the light on the silver mask flashed by.

"This matter is full of loopholes. The Ji family will not be smeared with dirty water. Why does Mr. Mu need to do this?"

Liu Qihui looked at his back and frowned slightly.

Mu Chun didn't look back, but just said softly, "It doesn't matter."

"What matters is that His Majesty is pleased to see it happen."

He tilted his head slightly and said, "The most important thing is that you can make it happen."
