Chapter 77 No way

Although Zhuang Zhi only answered Lu Qing's question, his answer seemed to be a slap in the face of Jingzhao Yin, making Lord Wu's face even uglier.

"If that's the case, then it's easy." Lu Qing smiled, turned around and pulled Zhu Yu out from behind him, and said to Jingzhao Yin, "This is the chief official of my palace, and he is quite capable in autopsies.

If Lord Wu is trustworthy, why not ask him to help check it out?
Perhaps the corpse of the young lady from the Zhuang family can tell us in person whether General Cao's nephew was the real murderer.

Cao Chenfeng had no dealings with Lu Qing before. He only knew that he was the King of Freedom. It seemed that he had no interactions with his uncle on a daily basis. He did not expect that he would stand up and speak at this critical juncture.

He quickly looked at his uncle, wanting to see what his uncle's attitude was towards this.

Cao Tianbao was as surprised as he was. He frowned and looked at Lu Qing, as if trying to guess what he was up to.

The others also looked at Lu Qing in surprise. Normally, everyone knew that Duke Yan's faction and King Xiaoyao had never been on good terms, so they didn't know for a moment whether Lu Qing stood up at this critical moment to help Cao Tianbao or to take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury.

Instead, it was Duke of Yan, Zhao Bi, who looked at Zhu Yu's face and looked at her carefully. He finally recognized that she was the person who rescued the poisoned guard on the night of Lu Qing's wedding, and then snorted with disgust.

Before Cao Tianbao could say anything, Zhuang Zhi spoke up first to express his opposition.

He wiped his tears and cried, "That won't do! My poor daughter is still unmarried, a pure and innocent girl!

Just because he was young and ignorant of the ways of the world, he was deceived and abused by others. This is shameful enough!

Now she has met with an unfortunate misfortune and died tragically at the hands of a butcher. The coroner of Jingzhao Prefecture has already examined her body. How can I, as her father, let a man examine her body again!
This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Lu Qing ignored him and only looked at Jingzhao Yin and Cao Tianbao.

Jingzhao Yin felt that in all his years as an official, he had never been as embarrassed as he was today.

"General Cao..." He tentatively called out Cao Tianbao.

Cao Tianbao was also frowning and thinking just now. He looked at Zhu Yu with his tiger eyes. Now, like Duke Yan, he recognized that Zhu Yu was the person who took action at the wedding banquet.

However, his attitude differed from Duke Yan's. Instead, he relaxed his frown slightly and asked Zhu Yu, "Are you the one who rescued Prince Yi's guard at Prince Xiaoyao's wedding banquet that day?"

Zhu Yu quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Replying to General Cao, it is me."

In fact, in her opinion, a simple autopsy could reveal most of the truth, but these people all had their own concerns and no one was willing to get straight to the point.

Because of Cao Tianbao's previous attitude towards Lu Qing, Zhu Yu had suppressed her curiosity about the truth and just wanted to watch the excitement from the other side of the river. Unexpectedly, Lu Qing took the initiative to speak and pushed her out.

What was this guy planning? After thinking about it, she really wanted to see how Miss Zhuang died.

"Okay! I was there that day, and I saw that you really have some skills, not just a show-off!" Cao Tianbao also clasped his fists towards Zhu Yu, "Then I'll ask you to help me check what happened today! If the death of the Zhuang family's daughter has nothing to do with my useless nephew, then my nephew can't bear the blame for the murder for nothing.

But if it was really his doing, then let the law handle it, and I will not protect him in the slightest! Everyone present today is a witness!"

Jingzhao Yin breathed a sigh of relief at this moment and nodded to Lu Qing with some gratitude.

"No! No!" Cao Tianbao had already said it very frankly, but Zhuang Zhi was still stubborn. "If you want to see it, just look at the records of the medical examiner!
My daughter died so tragically, why do you still want to humiliate her like this!"

"Boss Zhuang, you're wrong." Lu Qing said lightly, with the attitude of a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter. "You insist that Cao Chenfeng is the murderer of your daughter. Apart from the fact that he had an affair with your daughter and met with her the night before you found her dead, do you have any other evidence?
What was the maid's name? Are you sure that your young lady died after Cao Chenfeng left the embroidery building?

"This servant, Xiao Tao'er," the maidservant Xiao Tao'er hurriedly shook her head. "This servant only knew that the man left in a panic. I didn't go upstairs to check at the time. I don't know whether the young lady was dead or alive at the time."

Zhuang Zhi was unable to answer Lu Qing's question. He stiffened his neck with a look of grief and indignation and remained silent.

“So, whether Cao Chenfeng is the real murderer remains to be confirmed.

If the purpose of your trip is to identify General Cao's nephew as the murderer, then stick to your guns and don't let go.

If you are looking for the real murderer, Cao Chenfeng was mistakenly killed, and the murderer of your daughter is still at large." Lu Qing reminded Zhuang Zhi.

Zhuang Zhi didn't expect him to say that, and hurriedly said, "I have no grudge against General Cao. I'm just a small businessman in the capital. Why would you wrongly accuse his nephew for no reason?

I just don’t want my daughter to be looked at over and over again after her tragic death…”

Lu Qing waved the fan in his hand and said to Zhuang Zhi slowly, "If you think your daughter's reputation is more important than the truth, you should have concealed the truth from the beginning, found some kind of emergency, buried her quietly, and told everyone that she died suddenly of illness.

This way, your daughter will have a good reputation until she dies.

Now that you've made such a fuss, everyone knows that Miss Zhuang had an affair with General Cao's nephew. You've lost all the face you should have. If you continue to say that you don't want to be examined for the sake of your reputation, it will only make it more obvious and make people wonder what your intentions are."

His words made Zhuang Zhi's face turn pale and red, and his teeth were almost broken. But every word he said hit the nail on the head, making it impossible to refute.

Lu Qing didn't give him a chance to speak, and added indifferently, "If you don't care about the truth behind your daughter's murder, then others will naturally not care either.

The worst that could happen is that General Cao's family would be disgraced, and since Cao Chenfeng couldn't explain himself clearly, he was simply treated as a murderer and dealt with accordingly."

His last two truths were really not pleasant to the ears. Cao Tianbao couldn't help but snort and turned his face to the side.

After hearing what Lu Qing said, Zhuang Zhi no longer had any valid reason to oppose the autopsy. He could only stamp his feet with red eyes: "Forget it! Do it! I only hope that the real murderer who killed my daughter can be punished. Nothing else matters!"
