Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The men were shocked that Ying Yufu, this seemingly pampered young girl, didn't seem to mind the filth and stench of the corpses at all.

There wasn't even any fear in her eyes.

She even reached out and checked the 'corpse's' pulse quite naturally.

"The person is indeed still alive," Ying Yufu said, and a glass bottle containing green liquid appeared in her hand.

It is the primordial fluid of life.

The men then saw Ying Yufu pour the green liquid out and feed it into the mouth of the 'corpse'.

The liquid seemed to have its own consciousness; as soon as it entered the mouth, it went down the throat and into the stomach on its own.

The 'corpse' was so filthy and smelly that its face was covered with rotten fish and shrimp fragments and slime, making it impossible to discern its features. However, judging from its rather thin and petite figure, it should have been a woman.

The man who had been speaking with the prince approached and asked curiously, "Young lady, do you know medicine?"

Ying Yufu nodded and said modestly, "I know a little bit about it."

She inherited the entire legacy of Yan Xuzi.

Just then, someone exclaimed, "The corpse moved! Her hands moved!"

The man was startled and instinctively took several steps back.

Ying Yufu looked down at the fingertips of the 'corpse' and sure enough, her fingertips were twitching slightly.

She reached out and checked her pulse again; it had returned to normal.

However, she was still not awake.

This girl must have been in poor health to begin with, and her health was severely depleted. This life-or-death ordeal has further damaged her vitality.

Although she had recovered, she seemed to have been lacking sleep and was now sleeping soundly.

Ying Yufu said to the Flying Tigers, "Find a stretcher to carry her and find a place to wash her first."

Two Flying Tigers carried over a stretcher and placed the girl on it.

Ying Yufu then looked at the villagers, gave them the previous thousand taels of silver notes, and gave them an extra two hundred taels of silver, saying, "I would like to trouble you villagers to carry these corpses to the government office."

With so many lives lost, we cannot simply ignore this.

Those villagers were quite happy to receive the money.

They had just heard them say that there was a prince's son in their group.

With officials around, what do they have to fear?

He readily agreed.

After Meng Huaran, the former prefect of Anzhou, returned to the capital, he was succeeded by the prefect who was originally Meng Huaran's subordinate.

This man's name is Akira, he is around fifty years old, and he has just taken office.

The government office.

Ming Zhiyuan never expected that on his first day as prefect, he would receive such a major case involving several murders.

His expression changed slightly. He looked at his subordinates and asked, "How did the common people discover those bodies? And where did they find them?"

The subordinate replied, "They were found on the shore of a lake downstream of the moat, where dead fish and shrimp carcasses accumulate year-round. Today, when they were cleaning up the fish and shrimp, they found those bodies under the pile."

Akira's expression darkened. "Have there been any reports of missing persons recently?" he asked.

"Your Excellency, I have been reviewing the case files these past few days and there are indeed several reports of missing persons. One of these cases has a number of people that are quite close to the number of these corpses."

"Oh? Who reported this?"

The subordinate said, "Sir, the village chief and village head of Fushui Village, thirty miles away, reported that an entire family of eleven surnamed Zhuang from their village has gone missing."

"The entire family of eleven has disappeared?" Mingzhiyuan frowned. "Never mind, let's go to the court first, find out the situation, and then go to Fushui Village to summon the village chief, village head, and villagers to identify the bodies."

When they arrived at the court, not only were the people who had discovered the body there, but Ying Yufu and others were also present.

Ying Yufu arranged for a room to be taken to Tongfu Inn, which was under the name of the Mu family business in Anzhou City. She, the Crown Prince, Shangguan Fei, and Young Master Jiang were waiting for questioning in the government office.

With Young Master Jiang, the heir of the Prince of Qinjiang, present, they no longer need to reveal their identities here.

Upon arriving at the courtroom, Ming Zhiyuan immediately slammed his gavel and asked, "Who is here? What is the charge?"

After saying that, he glanced around and his gaze fell on Ying Yufu and her group, his brows furrowing slightly.

Upon seeing this, the subordinate's expression immediately hardened, and he turned around and whispered a few words in Akiohara's ear.

Ming Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly, and he turned to glare at his subordinate: "The Crown Prince of Qinjiang is here, why didn't you say so beforehand?"

The subordinate was taken aback. He had previously neither believed nor believed the man and had not taken him seriously.

Surprisingly, the adults actually believed it.

Just as the villagers were about to explain their identities and the reason for their visit, they saw Ming Zhiyuan suddenly stand up and walk towards Ying Yufu and the others.
