Yu Chisu explored the man's body. The body was not cold and the blood was not solidified. He was just dead.

She quickly checked around, but found no clues, and no trace of the murderer. She even became upset. If she had come in earlier, this person would not have died.

This person was a widower. Her uncle and Major General Ye Mansion did not believe that Cheng Wenbo, Yin of Yuezhou Prefecture, committed suicide out of fear of crime. After several days of investigation, they found out that the widower was suspected.

This prisoner was the one who examined Cheng Wenbo's body. He may prove that Cheng Wenbo did not commit suicide out of fear of crime.

In the post house, Ye Zelin played a game with Yu Xuanji. His white piece defeated Yu Xuanji's black piece. He smiled at Yu Xuanji and said, "Master Yu, it's your turn."

Yu Xuanji looked at the chess game and thought about picking up a black stone from the chessboard. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became a little annoyed. This chess game was a dead end. He would lose to Ye Zelin no matter where he played. He suddenly understood that he had two more options: "In this game of chess, the young general has set a trap for me from the very beginning. Don't you think it's despicable?"

Ye Zelin smiled and said: "Master Yu, playing chess requires concentration. It's not that I set the trap, but that you have been distracted since the beginning of the game."

Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "The Major General has superb chess skills. Even if I concentrate on my work, I will definitely not be the Young General's opponent." He glanced at the sky and ordered the servants beside him, "Go and prepare the meal. I and the Major General A little hungry."

The servant then withdrew to prepare the meal.

Yu Xuanji was thinking about how to make a move. Ye Zelin took the black stone from his hand and dropped it on the chessboard, "Isn't this solved? Master Yu, I really don't have any tricks. Your chess skills are not bad. If you observe carefully, you will know where to move." where."

Hearing this, Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "I heard that the Major General once served as His Majesty's attendant and had a close personal relationship with His Majesty. I wonder what His Majesty said to the Major General after the Japanese official left."

Ye Zelin was slightly startled. He never expected that Yu Xuan would ask him about this. Did he discover something?

He was alert and was about to fool him when Yu Xuanji said again: "Young General is from a martial arts family. When it comes to criminal investigation and handling of cases, everyone in Dali Temple is better than you. However, Your Majesty did not point out that Dali Temple is good at criminal investigation and handling cases." You are assisting me. You say you are assisting but you are actually monitoring. Major General, I may have made a mistake."

Ye Zelin couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes. He finally understood why Yu Xuanji was able to stand alone in the intrigues between the party and the government and firmly control the criminal department. In addition to his talent, he also had a shrewd mind and a pair of piercing eyes.

Yes, as Yu Xuanji said, it was a lie that His Majesty ordered him to assist Yu Xuanji, but it was true to monitor him. The ultimate goal was to take him for his own use.

Seeing Yu Xuanji's calm expression, Ye Zelin couldn't help but feel sarcastic.

When he was not sure whether the person spying on him would be harmful to him, he easily asked whether Yu Xuanji was courageous or stupid and blindly confident.

Yu Xuanji seemed to have seen through Ye Zelin's guess and said, "Are you wondering why I want to expose this matter, especially when I am not sure whether the person monitoring me will harm me."

Ye Zelin raised his eyelashes slightly and looked at Yu Xuanji's calm face, but Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "If the young general wants to do evil to me, you don't really think you can kill me, do you? Not to mention the things I brought with me The entourage, even Major General Su Su, may not be an opponent."

Ye Zelin could guess the meaning of Yu Xuanji's words, "So Master Yu thinks that I won't take action against you."

Yu Xuanji nodded, "You really won't kill me because you don't dare."

Ye Zelin became interested and asked, "Why don't I dare?"

Yu Xuanji said: "Firstly, His Majesty did not send anyone to you, so you alone cannot kill me. Secondly, the Ye family cannot bear the charge of murdering an official of the imperial court. Thirdly, you have other agendas."

He expected that Ye Zelin would not kill him. If the people behind him wanted to kill him, they would do it on the way to Yuezhou. He was sure that Ye Zelin had a reason not to kill him.

As for what the reason is, he doesn't know, but he is certain that this reason must be closely related to the situation in the DPRK.

Hearing this, Ye Zelin was very happy. He really admired Yu Xuanji's ability to see fire. He thought that he had never revealed his flaws, but Yu Xuanji still noticed it.

Yu Xuanji is a talent that can be used. If he can be conquered, it will definitely be a huge help to His Majesty.

Just as he was about to speak, Yu Xuanji's niece Yu Chisu came over. Her first words were: "That man is dead."

"What?" Ye Zelin and Yu Xuanji were both stunned and said in unison.

Yu Chisu told the incident from beginning to end, "This is what happened. I checked the surroundings and found nothing unusual. The murderer who killed Ya Zuo was gone when I went in. I also brought his body back. Ya Zuo is doing an autopsy. .”

The two of them followed Yu Chisu to take a look. As she said, Wu Zuo was conducting an inspection of the body. Not long after, Wu Zuo came to the result: "This person was pierced through the heart with a sword and died. The time of death should be Between noon and midnight, his eyes were opened and his pupils were dilated, indicating that the deceased may have seen something that frightened him before he died."

Yu Chisu immediately said: "It's the murderer."

Yu Xuanji said: "The deceased may have known the murderer."

Ye Zelin asked: "How can Master Yu determine that the deceased knew the murderer?"

Yu Xuanji did not answer, but looked at Wu Zuo, "Old Qiao, what else is there?"

Wu Zuo Lao Qiao presented a jade pendant to Yu Xuanji and said, "This was found on the body of the deceased."

Yu Xuanji took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. It was mutton-fat jade of high quality. "The mutton-fat jade on the market is at least dozens of taels, hundreds or even thousands of taels, and even tens of thousands of taels. This mutton-fat jade The fat jade is worth at least one hundred taels of silver. The deceased was just a small man with an annual salary of less than seven taels of silver. Even though he was frugal and didn't have much money left all year round, how could he afford such an expensive mutton-fat jade."

Ye Zelin continued: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that the murderer killed the murderer to silence him, which means that the murderer was related to Cheng Wenbo's death, which further proves that Cheng Wenbo did not swallow 100,000 water conservancy funds."

Yu Xuanji said: "Whether Cheng Wenbo swallowed one hundred thousand wages remains to be discussed. The most important thing at the moment is to find out the real cause of Cheng Wenbo's death."

He gave the mutton-fat jade to Yu Chisu, "Susu, check the relationship between that person and see who he has had the closest contact with in the past month or two, and then check the origin of this mutton-fat jade. "

Yu Chisu said yes and took the mutton-fat jade. Yu Xuanji tilted his head and said to Ye Zelin: "Major General, go to the Cheng family and tell them that the man who performed the autopsy on Cheng Wenbo is dead. Try your best to persuade the Cheng family to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy. If the Cheng family really doesn't agree, don't force it."

Ye Zelin said: "Okay."

Yu Xuanji said: "You go ahead."
