Chapter 130
The fire in the coffin was so big suddenly, it was obvious that it was doused with fire oil. Those two sneaky people must have come to destroy the corpse.

Rong Changfeng was worried that it would be dangerous for Qin Yue to pursue him alone, so he quickly followed.

After chasing around the corner of the street, he saw squatting on the ground, lying in front of him were those two people wearing bamboo hats.

"My lord, are you alright?" Rong Changfeng asked worriedly.

Qin Yue looked at the two of them, then looked around, and thrust his sword into the ground bitterly.

Just now when he chased here, he heard a dart coming from the wall. He thought the target was him, and dodged to avoid it, but he didn't expect that the dart not only prevented him from pursuing, but also directly shot the two arsonists to death.

Qin Yue chased over the wall, but he didn't see the man who shot the dart, so he had no choice but to turn around to check the injuries of the two people.

While the two were moving at high speed, they were still shot in the neck, which shows that the skill of the dart shooter is extraordinary.

There was poison on the dart, and he died instantly.

Helpless, Qin Yue could only bring Rong Changfeng back.

Looking back, I saw that the Wang family's funeral procession was all squatting on the ground, beating their chests, stomping their feet and crying loudly, while Master Luo was in a panic and could only stamp his feet.

Mrs. Wang's body, together with the coffin, had been burned to black charcoal.

"My lord, the fire is so fast that Mrs. Wang's body was obviously doused with kerosene. There is no river or well water here. We have tried our best to put out the fire, but still..." Lord Luo reported the situation with a mournful face.

"Qin Yue, you bastard, you are so vicious. Today, I, Wang Yibo, will not hack you into pieces. I swear I will not be a human being." Wang Yibo wiped away his tears, and rushed towards Qin Yue with his knife in hand.

Rong Changfeng was eager to protect the lord, so he didn't wait for Qin Yue to accept the move himself, and raised his sword to meet him.

Before the two had time to fight, they heard a rush of horseshoes coming, and immediately one of them ran in palace clothes, waving the imperial edict in his hand, and shouted loudly from a distance: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

As soon as he heard the imperial decree, no matter how angry Wang Yibo was, he had to stop.

All the people present knelt down and listened to the decree.

The man on the horse didn't get off the horse, so he rode on the horse and read out: "The emperor has a decree: Xuanhailing King Qinyue and Tanhualang Wang Yibo will enter the palace immediately to discuss the case of the Wang family's wife being murdered. Hereby!"

After the imperial decree was announced, both the onlookers and the parties were surprised, and the scene was in an uproar.

Qin Yue was surprised that the emperor obviously didn't want to care about it before, but now he cares about it again; Prince Wang felt that his mother committed suicide after being humiliated by Princess Hailing, so why was she killed again?This is clearly a disguised attempt to exonerate Princess Hailing!
"Eunuch, what does the emperor mean by this?" Wang Yibo's anger was evident in Lian, his eyes were furious.

"Tanhualang, the emperor's meaning has been clearly stated in the imperial decree. There are doubts about the cause of your mother's death, and I call you to go to the palace with King Hailing immediately to face the saint." The father-in-law who announced the decree said kindly.

The father-in-law has been serving the emperor personally all year round, and he does not evade when discussing politics.The minister of the Ministry of Rites is a close minister of the emperor. After a long time, they became acquainted and became friends.

Now that Wang Yibo asked aggressively, he naturally told him well.

Wang Yibo was angry and said angrily, "I think the emperor is partial to Qin..."

Before he finished speaking, the father-in-law gave him a wink, and the big inner guard who followed him immediately stepped forward and covered Wang Yibo's mouth.

If such remarks that are below the level of the emperor reach the ears of the emperor, then it will be fine.

Now that the Wang family is suffering, the father-in-law is a good friend of the Wang family, of course it is impossible to see the young master of the Wang family ruining the Wang family with his mouth. It is for his own good to cover his mouth.

Wang Yibo didn't know his father-in-law's good intentions, and wanted to attack the Ouchi guards.However, even though he is a Wu Tanhua, the Ouchi guards are not idle people, one on the left and one on the right, subdued him, and forced him onto the horse's back.

"My lord, please get on the horse." The father-in-law said to Qin Yue.

After explaining a few words to Rong Changfeng, Qin Yue mounted his horse and followed his father-in-law into the palace.

After entering the palace, Qin Yue felt something was wrong.

The father-in-law did not take them to the Golden Luan Hall, nor did he go to the emperor's imperial study, but to the northwest corner of the palace.

Before he got close, bursts of inexplicable cold came.

This place is where eunuchs, maids and other personnel in the palace temporarily park their bodies after they die of old age or illness.

Wang Yibo also had a lot of doubts in his heart. Her mother's body was burned, and now bringing him to such a place, in his opinion, is more like a kind of irony and secondary injury to him, and the resentment towards the emperor in his heart has deepened.

After entering the air-conditioned small courtyard, everyone tightened their clothes.

On the cold bed, lay a dead body, covered with a white cloth, only a pair of feet were exposed, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

The father-in-law greeted Wang Yibo and motioned him to walk to the cold bed.

"Elder-in-law, what does this mean?" Wang Yibo asked puzzled.

"Open it and take a look and you'll know."

Wang Yibo cast a sideways glance at Qin Yue who was standing beside him, secretly swallowed a mouthful of cold saliva, stretched out his hand, and slowly pulled the white cloth off the corpse.

Looking at the face of the corpse, Wang Yibo was in a bad mood, he was taken aback for a moment, knelt on the ground and cried.

Qin Yue frowned, and was also quite shocked.

This corpse is actually Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's body is here, the one that was burned in the coffin...

The strangle marks on the neck of the corpse are especially obvious at this time.

Qin Yue secretly let out a long breath, realizing that things were much more complicated than he expected.

There was someone with all-hands-eyes who secretly replaced Mrs. Wang's body, even Wang Yibo was concealed from it.

The corpse appeared in the palace, and the mystery inside could be guessed without asking too many questions.

Wang Yibo cried all the time, he was astonished as he was, and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

He is impulsive and doesn't like reading, but he is not a fool.For such an obvious matter, he can still understand the key points.

"Take Tanhualang to rest. My lord, you come with my servant." Gonggong said.

Qin Yue followed his father-in-law and went straight to the imperial study.

After entering, Qin Yue was quite surprised that Wang Weizhong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was kneeling here.There were still some wet marks on the animal skin carpet in front of him. It was obvious that the emperor was angry and threw the teacup in front of him just now.

"My lord, Qin Yue, pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live long live!"

"Be flat!"

This time, the emperor only let Qin Yue stand, and did not give him a seat.

"This, take a look." The emperor pointed to a list on the table, and the father-in-law beside him immediately carefully brought it to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue took a look and couldn't help frowning, not knowing whether to be worried or happy.

This is a post-mortem sheet, on which it is clearly stated that Mrs. Wang was strangled to death before being hung up, and the final name was Tang Xiang, a well-known academician of Dazhao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

This person judges cases like a god, and there are almost no cases that cannot be solved through his hands.For some major unjust cases in some places, it is the first time in more than ten years. Once the case is filed in the capital, the emperor will often send him to investigate and retrial to restore the truth.

The autopsy report issued by him can be said to be the most authoritative in the world.

Many of the details were not noticed and analyzed by Qin Yue and Gu Mingshu when they investigated the cause of Mrs. Wang's death at night.

"Your Majesty is wise. I don't know if the murderer has been caught." Qin Yue asked.

The emperor snorted angrily, and glanced at Wang Weizhong, "That's him."

Qin Yue was startled when he heard that, but he never thought that the one who killed Mrs. Wang would be her husband who had slept with her for decades.

Without waiting for a question, Wang Weizhong said: "It was indeed I who did it. I was confused for a while, listened to the rumors, and couldn't control myself in a hurry, so I accidentally killed my wife. In order to escape the crime, I pretended to be my wife because He was so ashamed that he hanged himself."

After all, Wang Weizhong raised his head and glared at Qin Yue, "I am indeed guilty, but if your wife hadn't spread rumors to slander my wife, I wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, and I admit it. According to the law of Dazhao, murder pays for life, and I am willing to pay for the crime. But the cause of the incident was all caused by Princess Hailing spreading rumors and humiliating others, and she is the culprit in the whole incident. Your majesty is wise, please make the decision for the guilty minister and my unfortunate wife, and arrest and convict Princess Hailing. Only then can I show that I have strict laws and my majesty is selfless."
