In less than two years, Qiao Fugui died.

Mu Si sighed. After all, he was his former subordinate and he came to him, so he should be dealt with properly.

"Go and take a look," Mu Sinian said this while he had already taken a few steps forward. Suddenly he remembered something, stopped, and turned back to look at his wife.

"Yao'er has just recovered from her illness. Madam and Yao'er should not go."

After all, he is a dead person. The women in the inner room will inevitably be scared when they see him, and they are also afraid of being contaminated by unclean things.

Madam Mu understood and nodded in agreement.

Only then did Mu Sinian feel relieved and leave.

Mu Luan looked at her father and brothers who were leaving. She suddenly lifted up her skirt and ran a few steps quickly. She grabbed Mu Qingyu who was walking at the end, avoided her mother, walked to the corridor, and solemnly reminded him, "Second brother, remember to find a coroner to perform an autopsy."

Mu Qingyu looked at her in confusion. Although he didn't know who Qiao Fugui was, if it was a murder case, it would naturally be investigated by the Dali Temple.

As for the autopsy, there must be a special coroner in charge, and there is no need for others to do it.

Although he didn't understand his sister's nonsensical words, he nodded subconsciously, gave Mu Luan a reassuring smile, and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

Mu Luan looked at the backs of his father and brother as they left, his heart sinking slightly.

Jiang Yanyun and her two sons?

In the previous life, these three people had bad intentions and were the beginning of all nightmares.

I didn't expect this life to come so soon...

In front of the General’s Mansion.

Two women and one man were seen kneeling in the open space in front of the stone steps in mourning, crying bitterly at the corpse in front of them which was padded with a straw mat and covered with a white cloth.

There were already quite a few people gathered around watching the fun, pointing and talking at a few people.

"Who is this person? He actually carried the corpse to the front door of the general's mansion. Is there some injustice?"

"You are stupid. If you have a grievance, why don't you go to the Dali Temple? Why go to the general? General Mu is a loyal minister who leads troops to fight in battles. How can he be Bao Qingtian who can solve cases like a god?"

"Then why don't they just kneel down at the entrance of the Dali Temple? Could it be that this unjust case is related to the general?"

"Who knows? If the loyal and brave general's mansion gets involved in a murder case, it will be a disaster." "This world is full of officials who protect each other and are two-faced. This orphan and widow are really pitiful."

"If you don't know the truth, you'd better say less, or you'll get into trouble."

"Hey, look, General Mu is here."

The red-painted door slowly opened from the inside, and a dozen guards with swords quickly surrounded the gate of the mansion, isolating the onlookers.

Mu Sinian, his son and his two sons walked out of the mansion with steady steps and stood in front of the steps. In an instant, the noisy noise in the crowd became much quieter.

Jiang Yanyun was delighted when she saw Mu Sinian coming out. She raised her voice instantly and cried, "General, we are an orphan and a widow, and we are really desperate. Please, General, take into consideration our family's past achievements and protect us, an orphan and a widow."

She deliberately emphasized the word "merit" in the hope of successfully attracting Mu Sinian's attention.

She wiped her tears with the back of her hand and glanced at Mu Sinian.

He is indeed worthy of being called a brave and mighty general. Although he is over forty, he is still heroic and dashing.

But he is much better than that dead guy!

No wonder the sons she gave birth to were all handsome and extraordinary. If...

Mu Sinian's face was solemn. The moment Qiao Fugui was expelled from the military camp, he no longer had any achievements to speak of.

This woman actually dared to mention her so-called "achievements" in public. Either she was desperate or she had ulterior motives.

Mu Sinian frowned, walked down the stone steps, approached the corpse step by step, and swept his tiger eyes over the three kneeling people.

He had been a murderer all his life, and he had a natural majesty and a compelling aura that made the three kneeling people unconsciously move closer to each other.

Jiang Yanyun swallowed and spoke bravely, "General, we are desperate. Fugui kept repeating your name before he died. You have been kind to him, so you are the benefactor of our family."

Mu Luoheng ignored the crying woman, stepped forward and lifted the white shroud.

A pale and bloodless face suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The corpse seemed to have been dead for some time. There were patches of corpse spots on it, and the flesh on its face had begun to rot, and it emitted a foul odor. However, it was still vaguely recognizable that it was Qiao Fugui.

The onlookers were frightened by the horrific face of the corpse and stepped back one after another, some even ran to the corner and vomited.

Even Jiang Yanyun and her son and daughter beside her couldn't help but move away in disgust.

Mu Luoheng and Mu Sinian looked at each other and covered the shroud again.

Then Jiang Yanyun covered her face with a white handkerchief and cried bitterly, "That bastard spent money like water before he died. He lost all the family property and didn't care about us orphans and widows at all. But he...he was the only pillar of the family after all. Now he's gone. Poor woman like me, I can't even afford the funeral expenses. I have no choice but to..."

"How did he die?" Mu Sinian interrupted Jiang Yanyun and asked in a deep voice.

Before Jiang Yanyun could speak, the other woman kneeling beside him sobbed and said, "My father has been depressed since he retired from the army and became thinner and thinner. He had called a doctor to see him before he died. He said that it was caused by phlegm and fire disturbing his heart and damaging his heart qi. I thought he would be fine after recuperating for a while, but I didn't expect that he passed away suddenly half a month ago."

There are all kinds of people in front of the mansion, and Qiao Fugui is involved in the assassination of the emperor that year.

Since the person is dead, Mu Sinian doesn't want the family to continue mourning here to avoid unnecessary trouble.

So he ordered the guards, "Give her ten taels of silver."

The servant quickly took out some silver and handed it to Jiang Yanyun.

Mu Sinian waved at them and said, "Go and bury him properly."

The moment Jiang Yanyun saw the silver, his eyes lit up and his face was almost filled with joy.

But she seemed to be still worried about something. She glanced at the crowd casually, then quickly lowered her head to hide her expression, knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you for your mercy, General."

Soon Jiang Yanyun, her mother and her two sons carried the body away. Seeing that there was nothing interesting to see, the onlookers also walked away, and the front of the mansion returned to its usual silence.

Mu Qingyu followed his father and elder brother with a lack of interest, holding a grass root picked from somewhere in his mouth and chewing it boredly.

He originally thought it was a big deal and he was ready to show off his skills.

I didn't expect that the poor common people would come to their door like beggars to beg for burial expenses. Did they really think that their general's mansion was a charity?

Seeing that his father and brother didn't take the matter seriously, Mu Qingyu naturally wouldn't take it to heart either.

But my mind suddenly echoed with my sister's instructions...

So at the fork in the road, he looked up and glanced at the two people discussing business in front of him, turned on his toes, and quietly ran towards Shaoguang Courtyard where Mu Luan was.
