Lin Ran nodded firmly: "Yes, we must perform an autopsy. We can't fail to find out the real cause of death!"
The Jingzhao Yin gritted his teeth, rushed over to the people and said, "Even if you don't trust the Supreme Court Minister Lin Ran, you should at least trust me. I promise you, even if the King of Li blames me, my head will count as one. Let him chop it off. I only hope to calm his anger. I will never terminate the peace agreement between our two countries!"
After the words were spoken, the angry people did not calm down immediately.
They continued to shout in anger, "Destroying human corpses, how cruel! Even if all your heads were counted together, the King of Li would not forgive you. No autopsies are allowed. Anyone who dares to do so will be throwing the lives of border soldiers into a fiery pit!"
The accusations one after another made Jingzhao Yin almost unable to stand steadily. He was caught off guard and the old woman rushed in again.
She roared angrily, "If you dare to perform an autopsy, I will commit suicide right in front of you. I will trade my worthless life for a little bit of your consideration for the people!"
After saying that, she pulled out the silver hairpin from her hair and stabbed it into her throat.
Lin Yiwan saw the opportunity quickly and grabbed her wrist.
She said in a deep voice, "Old woman, I long more than anyone else for those soldiers on the border to return to Beijing and reunite with their families. My husband's soldiers are among them, as well as my adoptive father and brother. They've been fighting outside for a long time, and I miss them too!"
The old woman murmured, "If that's the case, why did you allow your maid to kill the young prince of Li Kingdom?"
Lin Yiwan explained in a serious tone, "She didn't. As long as my uncle performs an autopsy, I can find out the truth. Besides, believe me, the King of Li Kingdom won't mind this matter. He is a wise ruler and won't bring hatred to innocent people!"
The old woman sobbed suddenly, "How do you know the King of Li doesn't care? This is his own son. His own son was disemboweled, and he's not furious? You're lying!"
Before Lin Yiwan could object, a cold voice rang out from the crowd, "This monarch agrees that Dali Temple Minister Lin Ran should perform an autopsy on the young prince Wu Ninglei!"
The old woman's face was filled with shock. She subconsciously turned around and saw King Wu and Marquis Zhan Yan walking side by side.
Behind the two of them was Ying Yi, whose eyes were red, and whose face was full of anxiety and worry without any concealment at all.
Obviously, he was very worried about Zi'er.
He walked quickly to her and asked cautiously, "Are you okay?"
Zi'er's originally strong strength collapsed in an instant, but she still bit her lips tightly and said, "I'm fine!"
Although he said this, his body was already trembling slightly.
Yingyi didn't say anything, but put his cloak on her.
He knew Zi'er might not be cold, but he wanted to give her warmth. He wanted to use this way to tell her that he was her support.
Sure enough, she clutched the cloak tightly, and her bloody lips, which had been tightly bitten, suddenly loosened.
The joy of having a backbone instantly filled her chest.
She couldn't help but think that the wooden Yingyi was really good!
At this time, everyone was unable to pay attention to the subtle interactions between the two people. Their attention was all attracted by the King of Li who agreed to perform an autopsy.
As the father of the little prince, how could he agree to see his own son being disemboweled?
This, this is too incredible!
King Wu scanned the crowd with his cold eyes. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "The young prince was abducted by Qin Tianhao, a traitor from the Kingdom of Li. This king was extremely worried about him and sent people to search for him secretly. Now, he has been found dead in front of the Lin Mansion. This king has reason to suspect that this was a conspiracy by Qin Tianhao, who was deliberately trying to sabotage the success of the peace talks between the two countries!"
Just one sentence caused an uproar among the people.
So this is ah!
King Wu continued, "The friendly agreement between our two countries was hard-won, and this king cherishes it deeply. Therefore, even if it means enduring the grief of losing his son, he must tell everyone the truth. He must not allow this treacherous minister to sow discord and affect the diplomatic relations between our two countries!"
His righteous words instantly won the support of the people.
What they feared most was the end of the peace talks between the two countries. Now that the King of Li had expressed his attitude in public, they were naturally very happy.
They no longer dared to disturb the autopsy and quickly retreated to a safe distance.
At this moment, no one noticed the fleeting sarcasm in King Wu's eyes.
Qin Tianhao is really stupid!
He calculated that he would not publicize the fact that Wu Ninglei was not his biological son, so he used his death to sow discord between the two countries.
But he didn't expect that he could take advantage of the situation.
Not only will it make the Zhan Yihou Mansion more grateful to him, it will even win the hearts of the people of Sheng Dynasty and make the relationship between the two countries stronger.
After all, Wu Ninglei's death brought him only benefits and no harm.
He said in a sorrowful voice, "Lord Lin, I leave the little prince in your care. I hope you can find out the true cause of his death to comfort his soul in heaven!"
After he finished speaking, he actually shed a few tears.
Seeing this, the common people couldn't help but think that King Wu was truly a good father with a righteous heart.
Only Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan knew that Wu Guojun's performance was impeccable.
He has been deceived for so many years, he must have nothing but hatred towards Wu Ninglei, right?
How could I care about his life or death?
After getting permission, Lin Ran immediately cut open Wu Ninglei's stomach.
When his belly was cut open, a lot of black blood gushed out.
Lin Ran said in shock, "All the organs are shattered? What kind of poison is this that's so potent?"
Lin Yiwan and Wu Guojun said almost in unison: "It exploded!"
King Wu remembered the ball-like object emitting poisonous smoke that Qin Tianhao threw when he escaped.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It was Qin Tianhao, this despicable fellow. He tried to murder my king but failed, and even poisoned my son. He deserves death!"
Zhan Yan immediately spoke up: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best to apprehend Qin Tianhao and make sure he has no place to hide in the capital!"
King Wu nodded sadly: "It all depends on Zhan Yihou. My son was killed. I want to take him back to the posthouse first!"
He staggered and carried away Wu Ninglei's cleaned body, his eyes filled with tears.
Everyone was deeply moved by the old father, and some even shouted, "Farewell, little prince!"
Hearing the sounds coming one after another behind him, the mocking smile on the corners of Wu Guojun's lips grew wider and wider.
He couldn't help but think proudly that Qin Tianhao had never expected that Wu Ninglei's death not only did not disrupt the peace talks between the two countries, but even made him, the monarch, more respected in the Sheng Dynasty.
A good reputation is priceless, and it all depends on idiots!
After he brought Wu Ninglei's body back to the inn, he threw it directly to the guards: "Go, find a random place to bury it!"
