In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

[Master Liu must have taken some miraculous medicine for his cold. He recovered so quickly, in just one day.]

Of course Mo Sheng knew that Liu Qile didn’t really have a cold, and it was normal for her to take a day off. She just didn’t want to go to class.

She already knew these things a long time ago, so it's a bit difficult for her to pretend like a child who doesn't know them.

Liu Qile looked at Mo Sheng kindly.

Don't try to avoid studying.

System: [Young Master, Yan Zigui’s body has been found]

[As expected, it was her father who took action. This speed is much faster than the Duke's Mansion finding someone on its own.]

I just don’t know if her Master Liu left any evidence. It would be terrible if there was any.

After all, she still likes Liu Qile, the original heroine, and knows her inside and out.

If she dies, another weird female lead will come in.

It’s really frustrating to think about it.

Liu Qile on the side just stared at Mo Sheng reciting the lesson. As for Yan Zigui's death, she was not worried at all.

Because she knew that Yan Zigui, a living person of her age, had a high status, and her disappearance was a very conspicuous thing, so it was only a matter of time before her body was discovered.

So when she went to the appointment yesterday, she paid special attention to her outfit. She didn't wear any sachets or handkerchiefs that could easily fall off and become evidence of a threat to her.

She didn't wear any accessories on her head, and only used a wooden hairpin to fix her hair.

Yan Zigui herself was also stupid, and in order to eliminate her own suspicion, she was also quite cautious.

It can be said that no one noticed their meeting yesterday, so Liu Qile was not worried at all that Yan Zigui's death would implicate himself.

…………

Over at the hunting ground, Mo Jinyi and the other ministers were waiting for the result. Some of the ministers even played the game of pitching pots for fun.

Suddenly, Lin He came over with a serious look on his face, followed by two soldiers carrying a corpse covered with white cloth on a stretcher.

The more timid officials and their wives present turned their heads away in fear.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Lord of Zigui Township has been found."

The Duke of Junguo and Yan Jiqing stood up excitedly and asked happily.

"Really? The old minister's daughter has been found. Where is she?"

"I found my sister. Where is she? Why didn't she come with you? Did she go back to the camp first?"

Lin He looked at the soldiers behind him and motioned for them to put down the stretcher, his face solemn.

Mo Jinyi sat lazily on the platform. As soon as he saw the stretcher, he knew clearly that this must be Yan Zigui's body.

Seeing that Lin He was having trouble speaking, Mo Jinyi said in a cold voice.

"Tell me, where is the person?"

"Reporting to your majesty, the Lord of Zigui Township has been killed. This is the body of the Lord of Zigui Township."

As soon as Lin He finished speaking, the Duke of Junguo and Yan Jiqing's smiling faces froze.

Yan Jiqing couldn't stop backing away.

The Duke's legs went limp and he sat down on the bench, breathing heavily.

How could this be?

Wasn't his daughter just missing and hungry?

"Impossible, General Lin. My sister is just missing. You didn't find anyone, so you just randomly found someone's body to fool us."

Yan Jiqing asked in a low voice without showing any composure.

Although he is a scoundrel and has a bad reputation outside, he has a very good relationship with Yan Zigui.

Anything delicious or fun will be delivered to her first.

But now someone told him that the sister he had loved since childhood had died.

How could he accept this? She was laughing and playing beside him yesterday morning, so lively.

These people must be fooling them because they are afraid of being held accountable by the Duke's Mansion. His sister is just missing and must be waiting for them to rescue her somewhere.

"Master Yan, I understand your grief, but the Yulin Army is not here to eat and do nothing, and there is no need to find someone to fool you."

"We are so sure that she is the head of Zigui Township because the name of the head of Zigui Township is on a series of personal items such as jade pendants and handkerchiefs present at the scene."

Lin He comforted him in a businesslike manner, and then explained in a cold voice.

"If you don't believe it, you can lift up the white cloth and see for yourself."

The Duke of County finally recovered from his shock, but when he heard Lin He's words, his blood surged again.

This daughter was not born to the man he loved, but their relationship was still acceptable. The Duke was not very sad about her death.

He was so sad about Yan Zigui's death because the Duke's Mansion was now in decline and the children in the family were very mediocre. Only Yan Zigui, who had saved the Queen Mother and had the status of a village chief, was able to save them from complete decline.

If Yan Zigui died, their family would be doomed.

The Duke of County has always been concerned about his reputation, so how could he accept the fall of the Duke's Mansion in his hands?

He stood up tremblingly with the help of the eunuch beside him, wanting to verify for himself whether the person lying below was his daughter.

The Duke of County trembled as he walked to the stretcher, lifted the white cloth, and was suddenly so frightened that he sat on the ground.

There was no complete body under the white cloth; it was clearly a pile of bloody skeletons.

He suppressed the nausea and grief in his heart, turned around and asked Lin He beside him in disbelief.

"General Lin, are you lying to me that my eyes are blurry and I can't recognize them clearly? You said that these... ... bunch of people are my daughters?"

"Master Yan, please accept my condolences."

"You said this is my daughter. Do you have any evidence? And how did my daughter die? Why is this......"

The Duke's voice trembled and he looked up at Lin He.

"Master Yan, when the soldiers found your daughter, we checked the cloth and accessories scattered around her and confirmed that this was her.

As for the cause of death, preliminary investigation shows that he encountered a large beast and was attacked."

Lin He polished his words before saying that the situation at the scene was in chaos when they arrived.

Moreover, there were many footprints of wild beasts at the scene. He suspected that the head of Zigui Township was besieged by many wild beasts, not just one.

Yan Jiqing slumped in the chair, clenching his teeth tightly.

The other officials present were also silent. They guessed that Yan Zigui's running around and not returning all night must have meant that something bad had happened to him. No one expected that he would die so tragically.

The body will not be intact after death.

"The jungle is so dangerous. Why would my sister go to the jungle alone?"

When Lin He heard this, he sighed inwardly.

How would he know? He was not his sister, so who knew what she was thinking.

He is just responsible for finding people, okay?

"My dear Lord Yan, please accept my condolences.

As for why the Zigui Township Lord went to the dense forest and why he was killed, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"As for this case, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are responsible for investigating it. I want to find out why the Zigui Township Lord died so tragically."

Mo Jinyi comforted the Duke of the County who looked very sad.

The Duke of County is an old fox. If he hadn't hired someone to keep an eye on their house every day, his every word and action would be displayed on his desk, and everyone would know what kind of person he is.
