"Your marriage is not something you can control. As a prince, you can only marry whoever your father wants to marry you." Lu Zhixing's warning was still echoing in his ears.

Yes, as a prince you have never had freedom in these places. Once the imperial edict comes, you can only accept your fate.

but......

Lu Ci Qiu glanced at Ye Jianqing who had just gotten off the carriage behind.

In addition to protecting his family, he seemed to have another small wish.

......

Lu Zhixing wanted to go to the inspection room to check those papers, but Ye Jianqing parted ways with them and chose to go to the morgue to check out the two bodies. For some reason, she always felt that there might be something strange about the two bodies.

The bodies of Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe were still in the morgue. The coroner, Master Zhang, had completed his work and left. The entire morgue only contained those two bodies.

Earlier, because Master Zhang didn't let Ye Jianqing in, Ye Jianqing could only see the general idea and didn't see the rest clearly. Now that Master Zhang is not here and with Lu Zhixing's permission, it is convenient for her and she can look around freely.

The body was placed on the left side, on two wooden beds, one on each side. Master Zhang would cover the body with white cloth after each autopsy. On the one hand, it was to prevent it from being exposed to the air and rotting too quickly. On the other hand, it was to respect the deceased and not let people easily see the deceased's appearance when he died.

Coroners show the utmost respect to the deceased.

Ye Jianqing lifted the white cloth. Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe put their hands on both sides, dressed neatly. It seemed that the coroner had helped them put on their clothes.

Ye Jianqing started to lift up the clothes layer by layer. Although there was no such technology in ancient times to hide things in the human body, who knows what if they had hidden them somewhere?

Unfortunately, Ye Jianqing looked around and found nothing. He even took off their shoes and looked around but still found nothing.

In that case, let's take a look at the clothes.

On the surface, the outer clothes of both of them were very clean, without any trace of patches. After all, they were all employed by the Ministry of War, and the salary from the court was more than enough to buy a set of clothes.

After all, Lin Xuan had some wealth, and the clothes he wore were much better than Cheng Tianhe's.

Ye Jianqing turned over their clothes but didn't find anything strange. Just as she was about to help them pack up and leave to find Lu Ci Qiu, she suddenly felt something strange about the chest part of Cheng Tianhe's underwear.

So she quietly took off her clothes and looked at them carefully bit by bit.

......

Trace inspection was not difficult for the Dali Temple. When Lu Zhixing brought those pieces of paper to his colleagues at the Dali Temple for processing, they gave an answer in a short while.

Although there was only one corner on the paper, Lu Zhixing, who had stayed in Beiguan for so many years, could still see it at a glance.

The picture on this paper shows Beiguan.

So there is a high probability that the piece of paper above is a march distribution map.

Lu Zhixing, who had a deep affection for Beiguan, turned dark the moment he saw the painting. The aura he exuded made people afraid to approach him, and he even spoke with gritted teeth: "How audacious."

Everyone present knew that Lu Zhixing came from Beiguan, and naturally knew his feelings for Beiguan, but what they didn’t understand was that even if this was not Beiguan, but any other place in Da'an, Lu Zhixing would be angry.

Because this means that in the court, among their colleagues who work together every day, there are actually spies. Everyone knows the importance of the marching distribution map, and everyone knows how great the loss of this map will be for Da'an, but they are still willing to do so. No matter what the reason is, they are betraying the country.

The crime of treason shall be punishable by death.

"Second brother." Lu Ci Qiu saw his second brother's face change, and felt a little worried, so he called him softly.

Lu Zhixing clenched the paper in his hand and shook his head at Lu Ci Qiu, indicating that he was fine.

Now that the distribution map of Beiguan has fallen into the hands of the enemy, the most important thing at present is to notify General Ye Honghai in Beiguan to deal with this matter, but I don’t know if this short time is enough.

"The people who went out to investigate should have come back. Let's go and listen." Lu Zhixing said and left the room.

The person who was arranged to investigate was just as Lu Zhixing said, and was already waiting for him in Lu Zhixing's study.

"Your Majesty."

Lu Zhixing waved his hand, signaling him not to be polite, "Go ahead."

"Yes."

The person in charge of the investigation is Du Lekang from the Dali Temple. He is young and promising, and knows everything in the Dali Temple. No one knows what his brain is made of, but no matter what you want to know, just ask him and you will get the answer.

Whether it's about eating, drinking, playing, or what happened today, or wanting to know where something is and who is there, he knows it all. He has his own way of getting information, and he is very fast at finding out news.

"Your Highness, we all know that Cheng Tianhe often hangs out in casinos and refuses to go home. He lost all his family fortune but still doesn't go home. But who brought him into the casino and started gambling? That's right, it was Lin Xuan." Du Lekang is a good person in every way, but he is a bit talkative and lively. Even in front of Lu Zhixing, he speaks quite lively.

"This Lin Xuan is an old gambler. I heard that his family is in the tea business. The business is good and they can make a lot of money every year. Lin Xuan is not short of money, and he has nothing to do every day. Over time, he was taken to gamble. The more he gambled, the more exaggerated he became. In the end, he lost most of his family property. Then, his father forced him to find a job and used his connections to come to the Ministry of War in the capital.

But after coming here, although he gambled less, he gambled a lot every time. He became more and more addicted and owed a lot of money. I don't know how I convinced Cheng Tianhe, so I took Cheng Tianhe with me.

Who would have known that Cheng Tianhe was also a person with no self-discipline. He would never stop gambling, and he lost his entire family in gambling away. He also owed a lot of money. His family had been visited by creditors many times, and they almost took his wife away to pay off the debts.

All of Cheng Tianhe's creditors were connected by Lin Xuan, which should be the reason why Cheng Tianhe was controlled by Lin Xuan. I heard that Cheng Tianhe didn't want to gamble anymore, and he was instigated by Lin Xuan. "Du Lekang told everything he knew in one breath.

"So, Lin Xuan used the gambling debt to threaten Cheng Tianhe to help him steal the pictures? Then why did Cheng Tianhe make fake pictures himself? Did he want to contact the seller secretly?" Lu Zhixing frowned. Is this reason reasonable?

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard from people in the casino that Lin Xuan and Cheng Tianhe had an argument in a casino box." Du Kekang added.

"quarrel?"

"Yes, it is said that Lin Xuan brought Cheng Tianhe with him on purpose. The more Cheng Tianhe lost, the more money he owed to his creditors. The creditors would let Lin Xuan go temporarily, or even let him pay less. That day, Cheng Tianhe found out about this, and then he had an argument with Lin Xuan in the box. He blamed Lin Xuan for leading him astray, and Lin Xuan accused him of not knowing how to restrain himself."

"They are both birds of a feather. No one should criticize anyone else." Lu Ci Qiu said with disdain.

When it comes to gambling, anyone who gets involved will suffer.

"Then how did Lin Xuan get in touch with Xinri?" Lu Zhixing asked.

"That's not clear, but I guess Lin Xuan doesn't know who Xinri is. The creditor who lent Lin Xuan money, the people in the casino said that he was elusive, and those gamblers in the casino basically borrowed money from him." Du Lekang really couldn't find out anything about Xinri.

But Lu Zhixing didn't blame him. New Japan had always been elusive, and they had been investigating for so long but still had no news.

"However, Your Majesty, we have already sent people to keep an eye on the casinos in the capital. As long as this creditor shows up, he will be arrested and interrogated immediately. Even if he is not Xinri, he must be connected to Xinri." Du Lekang said actively. Although he was a talkative person, he was still capable of doing things, and Lu Zhixing was also relieved.

"Have you checked Cheng Tianhe's home?" Lu Zhixing asked. He had also instructed them to investigate Cheng Tianhe's home, as he might have taken the things home and kept them there.

"I went there, but found nothing. His wife seemed to know that he was dead. When I got there, she asked me to confirm it. But she was strong and let me search. She also said that she was taking Cheng Tianhe back to her hometown." Speaking of Cheng Tianhe's wife, Du Lekang's mind emerged with that poor woman with a little baby. When hearing the news of Cheng Tianhe's death, Du Lekang was prepared for her to faint, but she just swayed a little and stood firm. However, Du Lekang still saw sadness on her face.

"I understand. You can go down." Lu Zhixing rubbed the root of his nose. It was really annoying that he still didn't know where the marching distribution map was.

But where could it be? It wasn’t in Cheng Tianhe’s house, nor in the rooms of the two people in Bingbu Si. So where could it be?

"I found it." When Lu Zhixing was extremely troubled, Ye Jianqing's voice suddenly appeared in his ears. The gentle words were like long-lost rain falling on the dry desert, allowing him to find a glimmer of hope in despair.

"What did you say?" Lu Ci Qiu looked at Ye Jianqing in surprise who suddenly appeared at the door.

"I said I found it." Ye Jianqing said as he took out the thing in his hand and handed it to them: "See if it's this."

After handing the map to Lu Zhixing, Ye Jianqing was really exhausted. She quickly sat down and poured herself a large glass of water. Immersed in the joy of finding the marching distribution map, Lu Zhixing didn't bother with her at all.

"Where did you find it?" Lu Zhixing asked excitedly. This map concerns the whole of Da'an, so he would be thankful if he found it.

"In Cheng Tianhe's clothes."

"?"

"?"

Lu Ci Qiu and Lu Zhixing looked confused. In Cheng Tianhe’s clothes?

How is this going?

Why didn’t the coroner find it during the autopsy?
