Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

"Ji Er, a grassroots citizen, lives in a small mountain village in Lu County. He went to Beijing in advance to take the exam in order to get married next year. He met a bandit on the way and robbed him of his expenses. He arrived in the capital by chance and was already half dead.

It was Sister Xia who gave me a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge that allowed me to survive. Now I make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings. I heard that Sister Xia had died a few days ago, so I hurriedly inquired and found out that Sister Xia had passed away because of me.

The grassroots felt guilty, and before they had time to thank Sister Xia, she was killed by an adulterer. So I found Sister Xia’s body and asked you to make the decision.”

The scholar bowed solemnly to Qing Xiao and knelt on the ground unable to get up. Qing Xiao gave the yamen servant next to him a look, and the yamen servant stepped forward to help him up.

"Come here." He looked at Lao Zhou again, and this time it was him who said the words.

Lao Zhou was finally able to speak, and looked at Ji Er with a look of indignation, "I made up this nonsense. It was obviously you who committed adultery with my wife, and I discovered it. So he knelt at my feet and cried bitterly. I forgave you at that time."

Who knew you were so shameless that you would do it a second time. At that time, I drank some wine and was so angry that I accidentally killed Ah Xia, but you were so frightened that you ran away, and even the government officials couldn't find you.

Now he dares to show up and accuse me unjustly. He is worse than a beast. Your Excellency, please do not believe him."

Lao Zhou cried bitterly, worshiped Qing Xiao again and again, and kept shouting that he was wronged, which aroused the kindness of the crowd.

"Lao Zhou was so nice that he even gave me a second chance."

"That's right, if it were me, I would probably do it the first time."

"This scholar is too shameless."

Abuse filled the hall. Qing Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd. As his eyes glanced, the place he glanced became quiet, and he did not dare to speak anymore.

"Do you have evidence to prove that you were not present when he killed his wife?" he was asking the scholar.

"No, I didn't go out that day because I felt unwell."

"Of course he didn't, because he was right there," Lao Zhou was very excited and said directly.

"What you two said, no one else can prove it. The only person who can testify is also dead."

"Yes, yes, I went out to drink that day, and the owner of the wine shop knew about it. And I am so nice to Ah Xia on weekdays, and the neighbors also know about it."

"Yes, yes, we can all see clearly, Lao Zhou is very kind to Axia."

"That night I saw a drunk old Zhou returning home."

People in the crowd began to testify one after another. Qing Xiao frowned and looked unhappy.

That's why he only sentenced Lao Zhou to half a month because there was insufficient evidence. In front of everyone, he is just a good old man, and people will not recognize what he knows unexpectedly.

That would make the people lose confidence in Dali Temple, and they would not dare to report any unjust cases.

A cold light flashed in Qing Xiao's eyes. He wanted to solve the problem behind his back. It was just a death in prison, it was no big deal.

"Someone, bring...".

"Wait a minute!" Qingyun interrupted Qingxiao.

She could see what Qing Xiao was thinking, but she had an easier way.

Hearing her voice, the crowd made way for her. Qing Xiao wondered, "Xue'er? Why are you here?".

Only then did the people know Qingyun's identity. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple had a sister who was the princess of the dynasty.

The people knelt down one after another to "see Your Highness the Princess."

"Everyone, get up."

Qingyun raised her hand and helped the people around her. She felt a little guilty after being worshiped by so many people at once.

When she walked into the main hall, she had a higher official position than Qing Xiao, so Qing Xiao naturally gave up her position to Qing Yun and let her take the lead.

Qingyun pointed to the body on the ground and asked: "Has the autopsy been done?"

"no".

"Then why not test it?".

"The body has been there for more than ten days and it stinks. Everything can be found in the body."

"Then why wasn't there an autopsy before?"

"It had been days since she was found."

Qingyun looked at Lao Zhou in shock, "Have you stayed with a corpse for so many days?"

"That's not a corpse, that's the wife of a common man."

Lao Zhou looked heartbroken, regretful of his previous appearance, and burst into tears. The people behind him were so moved by him that even some ladies wiped away tears.

"This old Zhou is really affectionate."

"Yes, yes, better than anyone else in my family."

"It's true that Axia actually did something stupid."

Qingyun frowned, it was really difficult to say this. The only person who can tell the truth now is probably the corpse.

Qingyun turned her attention to the corpse and said, "Autopsy now."

"Okay, I'll go ask the widow to do it."

Qing Xiao didn't ask, why did he need to do an autopsy when he knew clearly that the body was decomposed and nothing could be seen. But if Qingyun wanted to do it, he would help her do it.

"No, I'll test it myself."

"No," Qing Xiao said without thinking.

He could leave Qingyun to do other things, but conducting an autopsy in person was definitely not an option.

It is illegal to perform an autopsy on a woman, not to mention that it will ruin the woman's innocence. Any woman who touches the corpse and no one wants to marry is considered unclean.

Qingyun's words not only shocked Qingxiao, but also the people around him found it incredible. Qingyun is a doctor and has saved flood patients. They all know this.

But for the autopsy, it is unreasonable not to say whether she can do it or not, just because she is a woman.

Qingyun didn't speak, she just kept staring at the body on the ground. She is engaged in an ideological struggle, fighting against this society with feudal ideas.

In the end, Qingyun was defeated. She didn't have to worry about herself, but she couldn't ignore the Prime Minister's Mansion and Qing Xiao.

She compromised and said calmly, "Please hire a widower."

Qing Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Qing Yun would rebel again and he would not be able to control it.

Wu Zuo came quickly. He was an old man. He came over in a hurry. It was obvious that he was called temporarily.

Qingyun walked down from her seat and came to the body. Qingxiao followed her step by step, fearing that she would do something suddenly.

Qingyun looked at Wu Zuo and said, "Do as I say."

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."

This coward is very obedient, does not violate Qingyun's wishes at all, and moves very quickly.

"Lift the white cloth."

Wu Zuo lifted up the white cloth, and a stench spread across the floor, causing Lao Zhou to kneel and take several steps back. Even the people behind could not help holding their noses and retreating. Only Qing Yun, Qing Xiao, Wu Zuo and the scholar remained in place.

Ah Xia has rotted beyond recognition. Qingyun squatted down, and Qingxiao instantly put a hand in front of her, "What do Xueer do? Let big brother do it for you."

Qingyun rolled her eyes at him and slapped his arm, but Qingxiao didn't move. Qingyun turned to look at Wu Zuo and "took off all her clothes."

"No, no, that's my wife, we can't let others see it."

"She is no longer your wife, she is just a corpse now." Qingyun glared at Lao Zhou and "stopped his mouth."

The yamen officer stepped forward and blocked Lao Zhou's mouth. Some people around him wanted to say something, but they were frightened back by Qing Xiao's look.

Wu Zuo didn't have any reaction. They usually strip the corpse during autopsy, regardless of gender.

When Wuzuo was undressing Axia, Qingyun carefully observed Ji Er's reaction and found that he just frowned and looked at her with self-blame in his eyes from time to time, without any other unnecessary emotions.
