The cousin is beautiful but ruthless.

Chapter 214 Autopsy

Li Jiangui was waiting for the autopsy results when Zhao Wanfu covered his mouth and nose and went in to take a look at the body.

The stench of decay wafted out, and Zhao Wanfu frowned uncomfortably.

"Based on the characteristics you described, Prime Minister, we have compared them one by one, and they do indeed match Jiang Fengxiao's physique and bone structure. It's just that his face is severely decomposed, otherwise we could be more certain."

Zhao Wanfu nodded, glanced at it, and then looked away.

"Judging by his figure alone, he does indeed resemble Feng Xiao." He spoke with sadness, glancing down at the body. "This scar on his body was also left by Feng Xiao on the battlefield back then."

He pointed to the scar on his arm, and each and every detail confirmed Jiang Fengxiao's identity.

The points of doubt decreased one by one, and it seemed there were no mistakes.

"It seems that the Prime Minister and Lord Jiang Fengxiao have a very good relationship."

Lai Shun, who was behind him, suddenly said something.

Zhao Wanfu sighed: "No matter what people say, from the day I took him as my godson, I have truly treated him as my own son."

Lai Shun nodded: "The Prime Minister is truly sentimental."

Zhao Wanfu didn't say anything more. Lai Shun was Li Jiangui's man, and the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. He couldn't let anyone see through his scheme.

Li Jiangui received the news that the corpse was Jiang Fengxiao.

Zhao Wanfu stood below, "Your Majesty, Feng Xiao is dead. How should we investigate this matter?"

Lee Geon-kyu kept his eyes closed and didn't speak.

Zhao Wanfu couldn't figure out Li Jiangui's intentions. Since the matter involved Lizhou, things were really hard to say.

"Leave the body here and continue the investigation."

Li Jiangui spoke calmly.

The body should remain here. Zhao Wanfu's eyes flickered, but he did not refuse.

"If Your Majesty has any instructions, please tell me, and I will do my best to fulfill them."

"I need to take a good look at those letters from home that were sent over earlier."

Jiang Fengxiao's body had been dead for some time, but the letters home had never stopped during that time.

"Then let's investigate along this path," Li Jiangui said, looking at Zhao Wanfu.

"Is Prime Minister Zhao alright?"

"Natural nature."

Zhao Wanfu walked out, and Li Jiangui seemed to suspect him.

After Zhao Wanfu left, Li Jiangui called over the coroner who had performed the autopsy. The coroner wrote down everything Zhao Wanfu had said about Jiang Fengxiao.

Looking at the description above, Li Jiangui said, "Can a person remember that clearly?"

Even the coroner couldn't say for sure.

"There should be some discrepancies due to memory issues, and Zhao Xiang and Jiang Fengxiao haven't seen each other for many years, yet Zhao Xiang's description is exactly the same as the current Jiang Fengxiao."

The coroner also noticed it, which is why he didn't say anything at the time.

That's exactly what Li Jiangui was talking about. In order to convince them that it was Jiang Fengxiao, Zhao Wanfu ignored this obvious detail.

Zhao Wanfu could still describe people he hadn't seen for years without missing a single detail.

The corpse was Jiang Fengxiao, whom Zhao Wanfu had carefully prepared for them.

"It's really kind of him to go to so much trouble."

Lee Geon-kyu said something.

The coroner lowered his head: "Also, when Zhao Xiang was describing the scene, he inadvertently revealed a little bit about the wording we coroners used, which was probably something he had consulted with someone."

Lee Geon-kyu crossed his arms; just as he expected.

"Continue the investigation. Since we can't find Jiang Fengxiao for now, let's follow Zhao Wanfu's trail and see how much he has done."

Why are you being so secretive? Do you know what Jiang Fengxiao did?

Zhao Wanfu was once Li Jiangui's most trusted minister, but now things seem to have changed.

"Times have changed, and things are different now."

Lee Geon-kyu put down what he was holding.

"Keep the body safe, it might come in very handy later."

Pei Du received the news from the palace and immediately informed Shen Hanyu, knowing that Shen Hanyu was also eager to find out the cause of Shen Yanzhi's death.

"His Majesty has already ordered people to search for Jiang Fengxiao everywhere; it's only a matter of time."

No one in the world has more power than Li Jiangui. If Li Jiangui wanted to, he could find Jiang Fengxiao as long as she was alive.

Shen Hanyu has no shortage of time, and she does indeed have a lot of things to do.

"What's troubling me is still my father's matter. His body has disappeared without a trace, and the people back in our hometown of Suzhou don't know about it yet. It involves Lizhou, and besides Princess Huaijiang and you, I haven't told anyone else."

Pei Du looked around and said, "I've secretly sent people to those locations on the paper. They might be able to find some clues. Also, be careful during this time."

Shen Hanyu was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

“The organization we investigated last time has recently made a move again, and it’s most likely targeting you. I’ve left people here to protect you, and I’ll also have people follow you on your way to the girls’ school.”

Shen Hanyu was only worried for a moment before she regained her composure.

“Continuing the investigation would be very disadvantageous for them. They’re picking on the weak, mainly because of what I have.”

Those people should have more or less guessed that Shen Hanyu had obtained what Shen Yanzhi left behind, so they would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.

"With me here, there's no need to worry about that. Besides, General Ji is coming back."

Ji Yuxiu's return took quite a while this time. Her return was also quite timely, as it was soon the wedding day of Pei Xingzhi and Liang Ruochu.

The invitations had already been sent over. I don't know what they were thinking. After the mess they made last time, they still sent invitations to her and Pei Du.

"Her return is timely; things are a bit chaotic right now."

Those with ulterior motives within Chang'an City also revealed their true colors.

After Pei Du left, Shen Hanyu took out the books that the teacher had given them.

"Miss, Azhi is outside requesting an audience."

"Ah Zhi," Shen Hanyu looked up, "let her in."

Ah Zhi walked in from outside. Having been raised in the mansion for so long, she had become quite plump.

"girl."

Shen Hanyu looked at her and asked, "What happened?"

Azhi shook her head: "No, it's just that I've been thinking about some things about myself in bits and pieces lately."

Shen Hanyu knew that Azhi had lost her memory, and she listened as Azhi continued to speak.

"I remembered my father's and mother's faces, but I can't remember where they are, so I would like to ask you for help."

Shen Hanyu gave Miaocui a few instructions, asking her to go out and find someone who could draw a portrait based on a person's description.

"Thank you girl."

Ah Zhi's smile brightened even more. Now that she knew her background, her headaches had subsided, and everything was going smoothly at the girls' school. There couldn't be anything better than this.

"I heard you're one of the girls from the next batch to participate in the imperial examinations?"

Ah Zhi nodded.

"Yes, the previous batch is in preparation. I'm in the second batch. Because I arrived late, the progress is a bit slower."

Shen Hanyu looked at her approvingly: "Where's Xiao Tao? Is she too scared to come over and is she slacking off at the girls' school again?"

"How could she dare? Xiao Tao is just a little slow to learn, she's not lazy."
