Wang Bozhen used his "money power" to quickly gather a group of victims' families to the Dali Temple to sue Wen Qingcheng for murder. He also used his relationship with Mr. He Sanye to get Wang Yunxi's body back immediately.

Lord Tao, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was the prince's man. He immediately asked someone to send a letter to Mo Jinghong, and the two met in one of Mo Jinghong's private teahouses.

Mo Jinghong arrived at the teahouse in a low-key manner in a carriage. Tao Shaoqing had already been waiting inside. When Mo Jinghong arrived with Ah Falcon, Tao Shaoqing immediately stood up and bowed to Mo Jinghong with a smile. Mo Jinghong extended his hand to signal him to sit down first.

After taking a seat, Mo Jinghong asked anxiously, "But what's the matter with Wen Qingcheng?"

"No, no, no, it's not Miss Wen. Prince, the family of the deceased He Wangshi came to ask for He Wangshi's body and want to take it back for early burial."

Mo Jinghong said coldly: "The Dali Temple is investigating this case, so you can't give them the body."

"We are currently planning to have the coroner perform an autopsy, so we haven't asked them to take the body back yet, but..." Tao Shaoqing moved closer to Mo Jinghong and whispered, "I heard that the Wang family has found someone at the Dali Temple to take Wang Yunxi's body away."

Mo Jinghong stood with his hands behind his back. His intuition told him that there was something fishy about this matter. The Wang family was willing to use all their connections to get Wang Yunxi's body back. This might be more than just wanting her to be buried in peace as soon as possible.

Tao Shaoqing continued, "Sir, there is one more thing that is very unfavorable to Miss Wen's situation."

Mo Jinghong's expression tensed, and Tao Shaoqing continued, "Today, a group of relatives of the deceased came to the Dali Temple. It seemed that they had discussed it beforehand and came to sue Miss Wen for murder."

"Are they the family members of those hooligans?" Mo Jinghong asked.

"Yes, everyone has brought a complaint, so we have no choice but to accept it. I will tell the prince so that he can make a plan as soon as possible."

Mo Jinghong nodded, frowning in thought. These people must have been instigated by someone, otherwise they would not have gone to the Dali Temple to file a complaint. With so many lives at stake, the Third Prince and the Queen would definitely tell His Majesty if they wanted to get rid of Wen Qingcheng. If His Majesty issued an order, the Crown Prince would have very little room to maneuver, and Wen Qingcheng would surely die.

"Master Tao, thank you for taking the trip for this matter. I have another matter to trouble you with." Mo Jinghong said.

"My Lord, if you have anything to ask, just tell me. I will do it without hesitation."

"The Wang family is so eager to get Wang Yunxi's body back. I feel like there's something fishy about this. I want to go to the funeral home tonight to take a look."

"Your Highness wants to go, of course that's fine. I'll send someone to the charity cemetery to say hello, and you can go directly there. Do you need to arrange for a coroner?"

Mo Jinghong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, it's best to have a coroner." Mo Jinghong suddenly thought of a possibility, maybe Wang Yunxi was not killed by Wen Qingcheng. He heard Yingge describe the situation at that time, Wen Qingcheng fired a crossbow in an emergency, but he knew that Wen Qingcheng's accuracy was not that high, and it was impossible for her to be killed with just one arrow.

At night, Mo Jinghong brought Ah Falcon, both wearing black cloaks, to the charity cemetery. Outside the charity cemetery, only a dim candlelight was lit in the gatehouse, and the surroundings were filled with endless darkness, as if to swallow up the only light. It was not yet the end of the first month of the lunar year, and the weather was still very cold. As soon as I walked to the door of the charity cemetery, I could already feel the cold wind.

"You must be the prince, right?" A middle-aged man walked out of the gatehouse and bowed when he saw Mo Jinghong.

"That's right." Seeing that he knew his identity, Mo Jinghong knew that he was the coroner Xu arranged by Lord Tao.

"Master Tao has already given instructions. Please wait a moment, my lord. I will go get the lamp."

"Good work."

Coroner Xu quickly took a gauze light and led Mo Jinghong into the morgue. The room was dark, and the stench of corpses hit them. Mo Jinghong and A Falcon covered their mouths and noses. Coroner Xu lit the white candle on the table, and Mo Jinghong could see that there were more than a dozen beds neatly arranged in the room, and there was a corpse lying on each bed, all covered with white cloth.

Ah Falcon then pulled open the white cloth on a corpse. There was a plum blossom dart stuck on the forehead of the corpse. Ah Falcon and Mo Jinghong recognized it at a glance. This was Yingge's method. Coroner Xu introduced enthusiastically, "These are all the victims of Wen Qingcheng's case. All of them are here."

"Where is Wang Yunxi?" Mo Jinghong asked.

Coroner Xu extended his hand to signal Mo Jinghong to go inside, "Prince, the one in front is Wang Yunxi, but...Prince, do you really want to see her?"

"how?"

Coroner Xu curled his lips subconsciously, "Wang Yunxi's death was quite tragic, with a bloody mess on her face."

"Oh? Why did Wang Yunxi die so tragically? Open it and take a look." Mo Jinghong said.

Upon hearing this, A Falcon lifted the white cloth. Under the candlelight, he could see the bloody face, deformed facial features, and split head. It was indeed a tragic scene.

Coroner Xu said: "We found her in a mine. She must have been pushed into the deep pit and fell into this state."

Mo Jinghong seemed to have grasped the clue, and was puzzled. Yingge said that Wang Yunxi had gunpowder tied to her body and rushed towards Qingcheng, and Qingcheng fired a crossbow arrow to protect herself. When Wang Yunxi fell, her body crushed the gunpowder fuse. After that, they left and did not push Wang Yunxi into the deep pit. There was only one possibility, that after they left, someone pushed Wang Yunxi into the mine!

Mo Jinghong peeled off all the white cloth on Wang Yunxi's body, revealing the entire body. "Coroner Xu, please check what was Wang Yunxi's fatal injury?"

Coroner Xu went over and checked the crossbow arrow on Wang Yunxi's chest, then shook his head and said, "Although the crossbow arrow is in her chest, it won't kill her directly..." After a careful inspection, Coroner Xu made a surprising discovery, "Prince, look, there are marks of strangulation on the deceased's neck!"

Mo Jinghong and A Falcon moved closer and saw the deep blood marks on Wang Yunxi's neck. "Prince, look, these marks are caused by the thin rope, and it has cut into the flesh. The marks are on the front of the neck, so it is concluded that the murderer strangled Wang Yunxi from behind."

The coroner Hen explained professionally while checking Wang Yunxi's shoes. "Look, the deceased had struggled violently before he died."

At this time, Mo Jinghong noticed that one of Wang Yunxi's hands was loose, and the other hand was clenched into a fist, as if she was holding something. "She seems to have something in her hand."

Coroner Xu pried open her hand, and saw a jasper water drop earring inlaid with gold and jade in her palm. Coroner Xu presented it to Mo Jinghong like a treasure.

Mo Jinghong recognized the earrings at a glance. This was a piece of top-grade jasper that his grandfather had just obtained years ago. He ordered people to make some jewelry and gave them to the women of the He family. The second and third wives all had them. Wen Qingcheng didn't have one, and Qingcheng didn't have pierced ears! So Wang Yunxi was not killed by Wen Qingcheng at all! And his little girl still thought that it was her arrow that killed Wang Yunxi.

He and the prince could save her life, but she was a senior pharmacist. If she was always suspected of murder, it would be very damaging to her reputation. The murderer had to be found as soon as possible to clear her name. As for the dozen hooligans, she didn't kill them. They were evil people, so Yingge and the others killed them to get rid of harm to the people.
