C31 (2/2)

Qin Feng was really tired, and only after sleeping for almost four hours did she slowly wake up.

He went over to take a look at Fifth Prince's condition, and it was already much better, but his body was weak, so he still had to sleep on the bed. Fourth Prince did not say anything, he directly called for people to prepare dinner, and ate with Qin Feng.

After eating dinner, Fourth Prince and Qin Feng sat together speechlessly. Just as Qin Feng was about to lose her patience and try to escape from this awkward atmosphere, a servant reported that a man outside the door who claimed to be the Master Li requested an audience.

The two of them said in unison, ”Quick, let him in.”

As soon as Xue Ming entered the inner hall, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit tense. He immediately became annoyed that he shouldn't have come.

After bowing to the Fourth Prince and Qin Feng, he said: ”Your Highness Fourth Prince, this official just came over from Zhou Yixue's house. I have already explained everything to his widow, and she is willing to let us inspect Zhou Yixue's corpse.”

”I'm sure his widow doesn't believe that Zhou Yixue committed suicide either?” Fourth Prince asked.

Xue Ming nodded and said: ”That's right, Zhou Yixue's widow firmly believes that his husband was murdered.”

”Oh? Did you ask why she said that? ” Qin Feng felt that the unfortunate woman seemed to know something.

Xue Ming cupped his fist towards Qin Feng and praised: ”Princess Huo Wu is indeed intelligent. Zhou Yixue's widow told this lowly official that on the night before Zhou Yixue's death, Zhou Yixue had shown her all of the accounts in the family, saying that if there were to be no more, he had to rely on himself to continue this family business. At that time she was confused, and asked a few times, Zhou Yixue just stammered, and said that he deserved it. ”

”Looks like Zhou Yixue was forced to do this. He only pitied his widow and brought a young child to be a widow. Luckily, he had a share of the family business, although he worked hard, he could still endure it.” Qin Feng sighed.

”If that's the case, then let's hurry up and go. The sky has already darkened. It wouldn't be good if it's too late.” Fourth Prince had someone prepare three palanquins and the three of them went to Zhou Yixue's home.

Zhou Yixue's widow was called Cai Bi. In order to prevent her from looking at him with sorrow, he told her to stay in his house with the baby. Zhou Yixue's corpse would need to be covered with coffins and nailed onto the ground tomorrow, no one would find anything wrong with it.

Fourth Prince and Xue Ming brought Zhou Yixue's corpse out and placed it on a unused bed. Xue Ming pointed at Zhou Yixue's neck and said to Qin Feng: ”There's only this one wound, there's really nothing else. It's very strange.”

Qin Feng said coldly, ”You must remember, there are many ways to kill a person. There are also many ways to kill a person without leaving a mark on their body, and the number of ways to do so cannot even be counted with ten fingers.”

Qin Feng took off the life clothes on Zhou Yixue's body, and took out a sharp dagger.

”Esteemed wangfei, you …” Xue Ming asked in fear.

”Anatomy? What? Haven't you seen it before?” Qin Feng was a little curious. In ancient times, coroners would dissect corpses when they were examined.

Xue Ming stammered, ”But, this, this is the dead body's size, harming the King's body, this, this is too against the heavens!”

Qin Feng was a little speechless. She looked at Xue Ming's tall and sturdy body, but did not expect that she would actually say such words that went against the heavens and defied the heavens.

Qin Feng shot a glance at him, did not bother to pay attention to him, and slashed down directly with her blade.

Fourth Prince and Xue Ming could not bear to watch and they hid at the side with their faces turned away, unwilling to watch the scene unfold.

”I found it, come over and take a look …” I say, you two men are so interesting! ” Qin Feng roared.

The dignity of the man was questioned, only then did the two turn their heads to take a look. Seeing that was not important, Fourth Prince hurriedly covered his mouth, he could still accept seeing the corpse, but seeing his internal organs being exposed, he was unable to accept it.

Compared to Fourth Prince Xue Ming, it was much better. He had seen too many corpses, and already did not feel much. Xue Ming had even seen corpses that had been eaten by wild beasts before. The degree of the devastation was even greater than this.

”Look, this is Zhou Yixue's heart.” Qin Feng said as she pointed to Zhou Yixue's chest.

Fourth Prince forced himself to turn his head to look back, only to see the place that should have been his heart, was green, like a piece of emerald emperor.
