"Master Ji, the prince said he wanted to dissect the body and retrieve the items." Ah Que said this with a cold face, which directly shocked several people.

Especially Lord Han almost knelt down when he heard it.

"Dissect the body?" He couldn't even speak clearly.

Lord Ji was in deep thought, and reached out to press the hard object in Mr. Zhu's stomach. He couldn't tell what it was from the feel. Thinking of the man in black who was looking for the secret letter, he had a hint of doubt in his heart.

So he looked at Chen Xuan and saw that Chen Xuan was holding the tools and looking at him excitedly. He only needed his order to dissect the body in an instant.

"Crown Prince? How come this general didn't see any Crown Prince? The Crown Prince of the First Prince's Mansion is still recuperating in the mansion, where did the Crown Prince come from?"

The Second Prince's men had never participated in the investigation by the Dali Temple, but they stood up to oppose it after Jinyou proposed an autopsy.

Jin You suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, walked between the two groups, took out He Qianzhao's badge, and retorted domineeringly: "Here is the Regent's token. Seeing this badge is like seeing the Regent in person!"

You don’t have to treat him as the prince, but you can just bring He Qianzhao out and scare you to death.

So the person who was speaking knelt down reluctantly with a distorted face.

"Hello, Prince!" he said with some gritted teeth.

But Jinyou didn't even look at him. Wouldn't it be better for him to just be a wooden stake quietly without barking or stopping him? Why did he have to come up to him and ask for trouble!

"Master Ji, since there are doubts about Mr. Zhu's death, the Minister of Rites and the Second Prince both want to know the truth. Naturally, we can no longer be perfunctory as before."

The little unknown Lord Han stood in the corner and wanted to speak but was stopped by Lord Ji with a look.

"What does the prince want to do?" Ji Zhonghuan asked.

"Of course we have to perform an autopsy. What if what was in Mr. Zhu's stomach was what killed him? Can we close the case so hastily? This prince is standing here as the regent. If anything goes wrong, I will bear all the consequences."

This is exactly what Ji Zhonghuan was waiting for. It is not impossible to perform an autopsy, but it absolutely cannot be proposed by someone from the Dali Temple.

"In that case, Chen Xuan will dissect the body and retrieve the items."

Chen Xuan couldn't wait any longer. He had only read in ancient books that some ancestors dared to perform autopsies to collect evidence, so he had always wanted to give it a try. However, he had no one to back him up, so he had to suppress this idea until today, when he finally got the chance to do whatever he wanted.

Prince! You! Are my God!

Chen Xuan had all the tools he needed, and when Ji Zhonghuan told him to do a dissection, he rushed forward and prepared to do it.

"No cesarean section!" Zhao Zhen'er bit her lip and rushed to the coffin. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she stopped Chen Xuan and shook her head repeatedly, "No cesarean section!"

"The prince has spoken, why are you still trying to stop him? Don't you want to clear yourself of suspicion? Or do you know what this thing is?"

All his enthusiasm was blocked, and the usually taciturn Chen Xuan also started to angry mode.

"If you can explain it clearly, then tell me. If not, get out of the way. Otherwise, the knife will not fall on the deceased but on you."

Zhao Zhener bit her lips tightly. She couldn't say anything and just shook her head repeatedly. If they really dissected her, everything would be over.

No one present was stupid, and Zhao Zhener's reaction already said it all.

Ji Zhonghuan's face was ashen and he didn't give face to anyone.

He directly ordered: "Someone take her away. If you interfere with the investigation again, you will be beaten with a stick!"

Zhao Zhener's already pale face became even paler at this moment, but she really had no way to stop it.

When she was being taken away, she looked at the second prince's guards reluctantly, hoping that they could stop her, but the guards remained unmoved.

"Prince..." Chen Xuan looked at He Jinyou again and asked for his opinion.

Jinyou said, "Let's do a cesarean section."

It has come to this point. No matter what it is, we have to take a look at it. If it is really a secret letter, it will be worth it.

The moment the knife was cut open to dissect the body, the stench hit them in the face, and except for Chen Xuan, everyone else's face turned green from the stench.

"Ugh~" The whole yard was filled with the sound of vomiting.

Even Aque, who had seen blood, couldn't stand the smell and retched beside Jinyou.

Fortunately, people who practice martial arts can hold their breath for a long time, so after vomiting twice, the smell disappeared.

Chen Xuan performed the dissection carefully. He did not stubbornly remove the hard object, but also carefully observed other parts.

He performed the dissection for a full half hour, and everyone else endured it for half an hour as well.

It turns out that there is a reason why autopsy is banned. Most people can't stand the smell, and before the results are found, people are suffocated to death.

Chen Xuan took out the paper ball stained with gastric juice, turned around and said to Ji Zhonghuan: "Sir, it is a paper ball with words on it."

At this moment, several people from the Second Prince's Mansion looked at each other and started fighting for the paper ball.

Before everyone could react to what was happening, Jinyou shouted, "Stop them!" At this time, Aque had already rushed over.

The Jinyiwei reacted instantly and rushed forward.

Chen Xuan held the ball of paper in his hand in astonishment. No one said that taking the thing out would be life-threatening!

Bai Mo came to Jinyou and took over Aque's duty of guarding Jinyou. The man in black disappeared.

Jinyou asked him, "Where is the man in black?"

Bai Mo said, "Leave it to Master Ji."

Jinyou nodded, moved closer to him and whispered, "Bring the paper ball over here secretly."

Bai Mo nodded without saying a word. He just followed the order. The prince naturally had his own reasons.

So when the Second Prince's men were about to break through the human wall to snatch the paper ball, the paper ball had already appeared in Bai Mo's hands.

Idiot, do you really think we have to fight to decide who owns the paper ball? How can a sneak attack not be considered a tactic?

"Bring it back."

The paper ball was brought to Jinyou, and he pinched his nose in disgust to block out the sour smell.

Trying hard not to spit it out, Jinyou said, "Take the paper ball back to find Qingfei and save the contents of the paper ball."

Finally, when the second prince's personal guard broke through the siege and came in front of Chen Xuan, the paper ball had disappeared.

At this time, Aque retreated to Jinyou's side and whispered something, and Jinyou's face changed drastically.

Ask her: "Is that true?"

Aque nodded, and seeing Jinyou start to think, he stopped talking.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands. Several guards were exhausted and pinned down by the Jinyiwei, unable to move.

Jin You had regained his composure by this time. He turned to Ji Zhonghuan and said, "Master Ji, I'll leave the assassination to you. This prince has some things to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."

Ji Zhonghuan knew that he had already obtained the paper ball, but he did not want to keep him. "Take care, my prince."

Lord Han was completely stunned. He huddled in a corner, hugging his black hat. The knife almost cut off his head.

Wasn't it just a simple business trip to handle a case as usual? How did he almost lose his life?

This is how I escaped, but there is still another disaster.

He held his official hat tightly, stroking it a few more times. He was really in danger now. How would he explain to the Minister of Justice when he got back?

Here, Jinyou and Aque rode their horses towards the mansion.

Aque said that the few people brought by the second prince's guards did not look like locals, and looked a bit like the Yanzhi people.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that the Second Prince is colluding with foreign enemies?

I don’t know how many people in the court follow the second prince. Is it just one person or a group of people who have rebellious intentions?

Jin You was racking his brains, the situation was a bit tricky. If there was evidence to prove that the Second Prince was colluding with foreign enemies, killing him in one blow would also reduce the obstacles for Xiao Yunzhen. But if not, it would only make Emperor Xuan wary, which would make their forces even more precarious, and even affect Xiao Yunzhen in the palace.

So the content of the secret letter is indeed crucial!
