The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

When the group arrived at Jingzhao Prefecture, Zhou Quan hurriedly asked his subordinates to brew the good tea that he was reluctant to drink, and stood aside, not daring to sit down.

Chu Heng smiled and said, "We are just joining in the fun. Lord Zhou can judge us however he wants. Just pretend we don't exist."

Zhou Quan muttered to himself, can he pretend that these two huge Buddhas don’t exist?

"Then I will..."

Chu Ze nodded and sat beside Chu Heng.

Zhou Quan sat at the top of the table. He banged the gavel, and the servants of the Liang residence were brought into the hall one by one for questioning.

"Last night, my master went to Prince Wang's house to drink. They have a good relationship and would meet for drinks every few days. My master came out last night at midnight. Seeing that the night was very beautiful, he said he would not take the carriage and would walk back home."

"I followed him back. After walking for a while, he said he forgot to take the jewelry he bought for his wife, so I went back to get it."

"I took the jewelry and trotted back home. I didn't see my master along the way. When I got home, I asked the doorman, and he said that my master had not come back yet."

"My master sometimes likes to send us servants away to go... to a brothel... This has happened before, so I didn't think much of it."

"Yes, my lord said the moonlight was beautiful, so he didn't want to take the carriage and asked me to drive back home first. My lord, please check it out. This matter really has nothing to do with me..."

"My Lord and his wife are very affectionate. Although my Lord sometimes goes out to drink and have fun, he never brings anyone back home..."

Cheng Jiuyuan listened to the testimonies of the servants in the Liang Mansion and felt that she would not be able to get anything out of them. She quietly approached Chu Heng and whispered, "I want to see Liang Bo's body."

Chu Heng nodded, and the two of them quietly stood up and walked out.

Chu Ze turned his head and saw that the seat was empty, so he quickly stood up and followed the two of them.

The officer took the three people to a room and said, "The coroner is doing an autopsy. You'd better not go in."

"It's okay, you go back first."

"Yes."

Cheng Jiuyuan was about to go in, but Chu Ze reached out to stop her.

"Second Miss Cheng, please don't go in. Autopsies are not a good look."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at him, and she actually saw concern in his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Rui, for your concern, but I am not afraid." After saying that, she walked in.

The smile on Chu Heng's lips faded a little, and he followed Cheng Jiuyuan.

Chu Ze grabbed Chu Heng and said, "Why did you bring her to such a place? She is a woman, and she won't be able to sleep well at night..."

"My fiancée, please don't worry about her." After saying that, he shook off Chu Ze's hand and went inside.

Chu Ze shook his head and entered the room.

In the room, the coroner was carefully examining Liang Bo's body.

Seeing several distinguished guests coming in, he hurriedly bowed.

"No need to be so polite, just continue your test and ignore us."

Cheng Jiuyuan walked around the corpse and his eyes fell on Liang Bo's waist.

She stretched out her hand, but Chu Heng stopped her.

"I won't touch it. I just want to see his sachet."

Chu Heng glanced at the sachet on Liang Bo's waist, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, took out the sachet, wrapped it in the handkerchief and handed it to Cheng Jiuyuan.

Cheng Jiuyuan took it and looked at the sachet carefully.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this sachet?"

Cheng Jiuyuan put the sachet to her nose and smelled it.

Chu Heng took the sachet and said, "I'll help you open it."

"No, there's nothing wrong with the contents of the sachet. The problem lies with the embroidery thread."

Since Chu Ze came in, his eyes have been on Cheng Jiuyuan.

There was no sign of timidity on her face and she seemed very interested in it.

He curled his lips.

Thinking of the first time I met her in the suburbs.

That's right, how could a woman with such great martial arts skills be afraid of a corpse?

Chu Heng looked down at the purse in his hand: "Is there a problem with the embroidery thread?"

"Look, the leaves of this crabapple tree should be green, but now they have turned red. Many embroiderers like to soak their embroidery threads in red sui powder, which makes the threads less likely to get tangled and have a floral scent."

Chu Heng and Chu Ze both looked at her with confusion; they knew very little about needlework.

Cheng Jiuyuan continued: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. This is also a very common practice."

Chu Heng felt that since she brought it up, this sachet must be very important.

Cheng Jiuyuan carefully observed the body for a while and found that it was indeed drowned, there was no suspicion.

She turned and left the room, and Chu Heng naturally followed behind her.

Chu Heng threw the sachet to Chi Zhang: "Keep it."

"Yes."

The three of them returned to the hall, where Zhou Quan was already interrogating Master Wang, who had been drinking with Liang Bo last night.

"Last night, Brother Liang and I drank until midnight. In the past, we have drunk later than this. He seemed unhappy recently, so he drank a little too much. I persuaded him to stay at my house, but he said that his wife asked him to come home, so... I didn't expect that last night would be the last time I saw him..."

That young master had a look of regret on his face and his voice was a little choked up, and it seemed that he had a very good relationship with Liang Bo.

Cheng Jiuyuan approached Chu Heng: "Ask him what he drank and ate last night."

She suddenly came closer, and a faint fragrance wafted over.

She sat up straight immediately after she finished speaking. The fragrance seemed to be his hallucination.

Chu Heng looked at the young master surnamed Wang and asked slowly, "What kind of wine did you drink and what did you eat? The more detailed the better."

Prince Wang thought for a while and replied, "He and I share the same interests and both like Qinhuaichun. He brought several bottles of Qinhuaichun to my house last night. As for the side dishes, there are pine jerky, Sanhe pickled fish, Chunzi pickled fish, celery sprouts and pigeon meat, Jiuxiang snails, and snow-covered deer antler treasures..."

Chu Heng looked at Cheng Jiuyuan and saw a smile on her face, then she turned and walked out.

"Why did you leave?" Chu Heng asked.

"The cause of Liang Bo's death has been found. Deer antler, wine, and red sedge are all non-toxic when separated. Even if they are combined, nothing will happen. But when these three are mixed together, they will cause people to fall into a coma."

"I guess Liang Bo passed out halfway through his walk after drinking. If someone took off his shoes and threw him into the well, he wouldn't struggle."

"So, this prince and the owner of the purse are the most suspicious. The purse looks very new, and someone must have just sewn it. Tell King Rui about this and let him investigate. Don't get involved."

"Then I'll have someone take you back home first."

"No need, go and get busy." After saying that, Cheng Jiuyuan took the two maids out of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chu Heng turned back, found Chu Ze, told him the cause of Liang Bo's death, and gave him the purse.

"Fifth brother, you have helped me a lot. I'll treat you to a drink some other day." Chu Ze looked at the wet purse with a look of joy on his face.

"It's inconvenient for me to intervene in this matter, so I'll go back first."

"it is good."

Chu Heng is now openly the prince's man, so he really cannot interfere in this matter.

Chu Ze looked at the purse in his hand and smiled.
