In less than half an hour,

Shui Rong already had the whole story of what happened in Qin Mansion tonight in his hands.

And there was a lot of information that his subordinates had found out that even Ningguo Mansion didn't know.

Just then, a servant came to report that Mr. Wuzhai had arrived.

Shui Rong quickly came to his senses.

"Please!"

Soon, Mr. Wuzhai walked into the study and was about to salute Shui Rong.

Shui Rong waved his hand.

"Sir, no need to be so polite, please take a seat!"

Mr. Wuzhai nodded slightly, sat on a chair beside him, and looked at Shui Rong solemnly.

He knew that the prince had called him in late at night, and that he must have something important to discuss.

Feeling Mr. Wuzhai's gaze, Shui Rong picked up a few pages of paper on the table, walked up to Mr. Wuzhai and handed them to him.

"Sir, please take a look at this coroner's autopsy record!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Mr. Wuzhai took the records handed to him by Shuirong and began to check them.

The first page was very simple and clear, it was a standard autopsy record written by a government coroner.

The deceased was a 17-year-old female. There were no signs of fighting or struggle at the scene...

After reading it, Mr. Wuzhai looked at Shui Rong, who was standing at the table with his hands behind his back, with some confusion.

He didn't understand why the dignified Prince of Beijing,

Why would you care about the coroner's records of a woman who was burned to death?

"Your Majesty..."

Before he could ask, Shui Rongtou waved his hand without even turning his head.

"Sir, please read the last one first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mr. Wuzhai nodded, then took away the first page and looked at the next page.

But after reading the second page, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Huh? This..."

Shui Rong slowly turned around and said solemnly,

"This is my hidden treasure, which I took out from the mouth of the coroner who performed the autopsy."

When Mr. Wuzhai heard this, he frowned.

"Your Majesty! In this extraordinary time, how can you..."

Seeing Shui Rong still expressionless, Mr. Wu Zhai had no choice but to give in and asked,

"Your Highness, I wonder who this woman is? Is she worth your time and effort?"

Shui Rong sighed softly, shook his head slightly and did not answer.

Mr. Wuzhai immediately put down the record, stood up, bowed to Shui Rong, and said seriously,

"Your Highness, we are in the Emperor's presence in Shenjing City. Our every move is under His Majesty's watchful eyes. Your actions are truly..."

Shui Rong was silent for a moment, then smiled and said to Mr. Wu Zhai,

"Don't worry, sir. The coroner will hang himself at home at noon tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wuzhai's brows relaxed slightly and he nodded slightly.

Thinking that the death of the daughter of a mere fifth-rank official could attract the attention of the dignified Prince of Beijing, it means that this woman must be of extraordinary status.

Then he looked at Shui Rongdao,

"Could it be that this woman from the Qin family is very important to the prince?"

Shui Rong nodded slightly, and then shook his head slightly.

"Alas! No matter how important it is, now that I'm dead, it doesn't matter anymore!"

Then he looked at Mr. Gosai.

"But since this girl is gone, we have to change some of our plans. That's why I asked you to come here overnight!"

Although Shui Rong did not state the reason explicitly, Mr. Wuzhai still clasped his fists solemnly.

"I am willing to share the prince's worries!"

Shui Rong nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sir, I wish to expedite the suppression of bandits in Yangzhou! What do you think?"

Mr. Wuzhai's expression did not change after hearing this. He thought for a moment and then looked at Shui Rong and asked,

"Does the prince not want Wang Ziteng to interfere in the Beijing camp? He is planning to send the Jia family..."

Shui Rong was silent for a moment, but still nodded slightly.

"That's right! I've lost the card that holds the Jia family's life and death. Since that's the case, I might as well let go of the sand I can't hold on to!"

Mr. Wuzhai thought about it and said,

"Your Highness, the Jia family has two dukes, several generations of business, and countless connections in the military. If you want to uproot them directly, I'm afraid it will be..."

Shui Rong smiled but said nothing when he heard this.

Mr. Wuzhai's eyes narrowed slightly, then brightened in an instant, and then he looked up at Shui Rong.

"I understand. Your Highness wants to use this as an excuse. Rather than injuring ten fingers, why not cut off one?"
