"Keep your voice down! Leave quickly!" Prime Minister Sun said in a stern tone.

The confidant said worriedly, "Master, why didn't you tell the young lady that you were sick? The young lady has superb medical skills, she must have a way, and there is Princess Anping, they will definitely be able to save you."

"I know my own health. The news of my illness must be kept secret and must not be leaked. Once the secret is leaked, there will definitely be many people eyeing the position of Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Sun straightened his back, as if he was getting stronger with age, "Now that the Qin Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, we cannot cause trouble to the emperor at this time."

"Yes, sir." The confidant's tone became more respectful.

County Palace.

"How are those two doing today?" Shen Yan asked Qiu Yu.

Qiu Yu replied, "I rested for a day and there was no movement."

"If you let them start working tomorrow, you must give them a chance. Otherwise, how will you catch them?" Shen Yan's voice was cold.

"Yes, county lord."

The next day.

The genius is gray and bright, and it comes late at night,

"Pavilion Master, something happened!"

"What's the matter?" Shen Yan asked.

"Ma San is dead!" Ye Chi looked solemn, "We have found his body."

Ye Chi truthfully reported the whole story to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan's expression turned cold after hearing this, "Where are those people who dug up corpses?"

"Imprisoned in Tiandao Pavilion."

"Go to Jing Zhaoyin to beat the drum and complain in the name of Ma San's mother." Shen Yan said.

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Although he was going to complain in the name of Ma San's mother, when Jing Zhaoyin saw Ye Chi, he knew how urgent the matter was.

Shen Yan is a popular person in the capital, and Ye Chi, as her bodyguard, is her face.

"Sir, you have to make the decision for my son." Ma San's mother knelt on the ground and cried loudly, "My son never came back after leaving home yesterday. He died today. He died unjustly."

"Old man, you are blind, how do you know that the deceased is your son?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.

"My son was scalded by boiling water when he was a child. There is a scar on his back. I have been touching this scar for more than [-] years. When I touched this scar, I knew it was my son." Ma San's mother cried.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the case, Jing Zhaoyin still summoned Ma San's neighbors. After identification by the neighbors, it was determined that the deceased was Ma San.

"Guard Night, how come you know how to check Ma San?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.

Ye Chi told the story about Sun Huanxin being robbed by Ma San, and added a few words, "My princess was worried that Ma San would rob other people again, so she sent me to arrest Ma San. But Ma San left his mother behind. There was no trace, and the princess felt something strange, so she ordered me to continue the investigation, and found out that these people were digging up Ma San's body."

Two people were kneeling next to Ye Chi. He caught them when they went to dig up Ma San's body.

Jing Zhaoyin asked the two men who dug up the body, "Tell me honestly, did you kill Ma San?"

"No, sir, it's none of our business." The fat man among the two replied.

"It's none of your business, why are you digging up Ma San's body?" Jing Zhaoyin slapped the crowd and asked sternly.

The thin man among the two replied, "Sir, we thought there were burial objects in the new grave and we wanted to dig them out and use them."

"Nonsense!" Jing Zhaoyin obviously didn't believe their nonsense.

At this time, Wu Zuo came in and reported, "Sir, during the post-mortem examination, Ma San was stabbed in the abdomen. However, this was not his fatal injury. He was buried alive and suffocated to death."

"The methods are cruel. You two are serious about it. I can treat you leniently. Otherwise, I will punish you severely!" Jing Zhaoyin threatened.

One fat and the other thin, the two still spoke harshly, "Sir, we were wronged."

"Come here and be punished!" Jing Zhaoyin ordered.

People's lives were at stake, so Jing Zhaoyin used severe torture. The yamen servant inserted sharp bamboo sticks into the two people's ten fingers one by one.

In an instant, screams of pain resounded throughout the courtroom, but within two cups of tea, both of them confessed.

"Yes, it was Ma San who was ordered to be killed by Guard Yu."

"Which Yu guard?" Jing Zhaoyin asked.

"The bodyguard of His Highness the Fourth Prince," the fat man replied.

Jing Zhaoyin heard that His Highness, the Fourth Highness, was the legitimate son of the middle palace. How could Jing Zhaoyin like him afford to offend him?

However, now that things have come to a point, he has to move forward.

So, he immediately sent people to arrest Guard Yu. Capturing Guard Yu would definitely alarm Xie Chengxuan, and by then, Xie Chengxuan would definitely come to court.

He definitely can't be restrained.

Since Ye Chi is here, he knows that Shen Yan must know about this.

So, he sent someone to invite Shen Yan. Shen Yan was also related to the case. She was a witness and could help him shock the court.

Jing Zhaoyin felt that he was too smart.

As everyone knows, everything is under Shen Yan's control.

Xie Chengxuan and Guard Yu arrived first.

"I have met Your Highness." Jing Zhaoyin stood up and saluted Xie Chengxuan.

Xie Chengxuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Yan was not present.

"Sir, I already know the ins and outs of this matter. These two people used to be in my house. They were kicked out of my house because they made mistakes. The guards who are now testifying against me must be waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."

Xie Chengxuan put all the blame on these two people, with a righteous look, "Now that they have committed the crime, these two are cruel and ruthless. I feel that the law should be punished on the spot to serve as a warning to others!"

"Your Highness, your words are wrong."

Shen Yan's voice sounded coldly at the door. When the voice fell, she had already entered the courtroom.

Behind her, Sun Huanxin followed.

Xie Chengxuan frowned. The reason why he came so quickly was because he wanted to settle the matter before Shen Yan arrived.

"Princess Anping, what do you mean?" Xie Chengxuan sounded dissatisfied.

"Your Highness, you said that these two people were waiting for an opportunity to retaliate. Wouldn't it be more vindictive for them to directly accuse you of instructing them to kill? Why bother to beat around the bush and say it was your bodyguard?"

As soon as Shen Yan said these words, Xie Chengxuan was speechless.

Jing Zhaoyin felt that Shen Yan's words were reasonable, and he continued to ask, "In Princess Anping's opinion, are the confessions of these two people credible?"

"Of course it's credible, because what they told is the truth." Shen Yan said.

"Shen Yan!" Xie Chengxuan was anxious, and he tried hard to control his emotions.

"How do you know they are telling the truth? Now I have reason to suspect that you have colluded with these two people to frame this prince!"

"Your Highness and I have no grievances, why do we want to frame His Highness?" Shen Yan asked.

Xie Chengxuan thought about it and found that there had never been any direct conflicts between him and Shen Yan, except for yesterday at the hospital.

"Yesterday at the hospital, you and I had a fight. You felt resentful towards me. You want to take revenge on me!"

Shen Yan smiled coldly, "Your Highness still remembers what happened at the medical clinic yesterday. If I hadn't deliberately disturbed His Highness, how could His Highness have ordered someone to exhume the body for confirmation?"

"Princess Anping, what do you mean?" Xie Chengxuan raised his voice.

"It means that the real murderer who ordered these two people to kill Ma San is you!" Shen Yan said sternly.
