Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Coroner Yan knew that the kid in front of him was much better than those people who said they wanted to investigate strange diseases but actually just wanted to show off in front of the city lord and get some benefits.

Therefore, he also felt compassion, and patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said, "Although you are young, you are much more honest than those adults. In this case, it doesn't matter if I tell you."

"Thank you, old man." Gu Chan clasped his fists and thanked him.

Coroner Yan put the pipe in his hand aside and said in a serious tone, "When I performed the autopsy before, I found the blood of a mysterious beast in that person's blood. If I am not mistaken, this should be the blood of the ghost bat beast that only the royal family of our Yexing Kingdom has."

"Ghost bat beast? Never heard of it." Gu Chan shook his head.

"Your Tiancang country doesn't have this kind of mysterious beast. Only the royal family of our Yexing country has it. This kind of mysterious beast is a powerful spiritual beast. It can control the minds of two-legged beasts and other mysterious beasts through blood, making them run madly to find it and fall into its trap." Yan the coroner explained.

Gu Chan frowned and said, "How do you explain the half body in the City Lord's Mansion? Let's not talk about the cause of the strange disease, whether it is the blood of the ghost bat beast, just saying that the half body is still alive, isn't it incredible?"

"Then have you ever thought that this might be the guard's unique physical skill? There are many talented people in the City Lord's Mansion. It is normal to have a guard who knows this unique physical skill!" said Yan Coroner with a faint smile.

Gu Chan's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, and the doubts in her heart were finally resolved at this moment.

She said that she had been investigating in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion for so long, but she still couldn't figure out why that half body was still alive, and now Coroner Yan had given her the answer.

This world respects physical skills, and the several physical skills she possesses are also very unique. In this way, even if someone else possesses the physical skill that allows one to still be alive after the body is separated, it would not be surprising, right?

Thinking of this, Gu Chan said with great gratitude, "Grandpa, thank you, you have finally solved my doubts."

"Don't be too happy. This is probably the beginning of your nightmare. Think about it carefully. The Ghost Bat Beast is only found in the royal family of the Night Star Kingdom. If this is the cause of the strange disease on the border, does it mean that someone in the royal family deliberately used this spirit beast to disrupt the border? Why did this person do this?" Coroner Yan reminded.

Gu Chan said in a deep voice, "The royal family wants to control the border in their own hands, and they don't need a city lord as talented as Ye Tianyang."

"That's right! So think about it yourself and decide whether you want to continue investigating!" Coroner Yan patted Gu Chan on the shoulder and said.

Gu Chan put her hand on her forehead, her expression looking extremely ugly.

As expected, the struggle for power is the same in any country. The Ye family of Yaoye City is quite powerful. It is impossible to easily overthrow the Ye family and take control of the entire border.

Not to mention, the Ye family might have someone from the royal family backing them up. In this case, this sudden strange disease must be the result of a chain reaction caused by the struggle within the royal family.

It is no wonder why even though Coroner Yan had discovered some facts, he did not dare to make them public easily.

This matter not only concerns the survival of the Ye family, but also the life safety of all the people along the border of the Yexing Kingdom!

After figuring this out, Gu Chan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "It seems that Ye Tianyang's situation is more dangerous than mine!"

"That's all I have to say. It's up to you how to deal with this matter next," said Coroner Yan.

Gu Chan nodded quietly, took out the two ingots of silver, stuffed them into his hands and said, "Take this silver. After I leave, quickly pack up and leave Yaoye City. Get as far away as you can. As for the Lord of Ye City, I will find a reason to exonerate you."

"Do you know? The reason why I waited for so long and didn't escape was to wait for a suitable person to tell him all the secrets I knew. Now it seems that I have finally waited for this person." Coroner Yan said with a long sigh of relief.

Gu Chan nodded without comment.

Then she didn't stay any longer, but quickly got up, said goodbye and left.

Not long after she left, Coroner Yan packed his luggage, carried a bundle and quietly ran out of the back door of Shengheyizhuang.

In the afternoon dusk.

Gu Chan led the little maid back to the city lord's mansion.

After telling the maid to go and rest, she went to the study in the backyard alone and found Ye Tianyang.

Ye Tianyang sat behind the desk and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"Of course there are gains. You quickly give me a certificate that proves that the shipload of medicinal herbs is worth five million taels of silver. I promise that I can cure your strange disease within half a month." Gu Chan said confidently.

"I've already told you that your shipload of herbs is not worth so much money. Why are you still trying to play tricks on me? You want to cure my strange disease in half a month? What are you bragging about? Do you think I'm a fool?" Ye Tianyang said coldly.

"I'm not bragging. I'm serious. My boatload of medicinal herbs can cure strange diseases. Do you still think it's not worth it?" Gu Chan said with a sly smile.

"Are you serious?" Ye Tianyang asked with his eyes wide open.

If what she said was true, then the medicinal herbs on the Great China were indeed worth the five million taels of silver.

Gu Chan patted her chest and said, "If I lie to you, I won't go back to Jiangnan to be the lord. I will stay here and let you do whatever you want."

"Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it, this proves that I will give it to you." Ye Tianyang agreed readily.

After saying that, he immediately took out a pen and paper, and with a wave of his hand, he directly gave Gu Chan a certificate of the value of the herbs, and then stamped it with his city lord's seal.

After Gu Chan got the certificate, she smiled and said, "Then I will go back to the inn first. You just wait for my good news later."

"Remember what you said and don't even think about running away, otherwise I guarantee you won't be able to leave Yaoye City." Ye Tianyang reminded.

Gu Chan smiled and nodded.

After that, she did not stay in the study for too long, and immediately said goodbye to Ye Tianyang and left.

Not long after she left, Ye Tianyang sent someone to call the little maid who had been with Gu Chan during the day to ask her.

The little maidservant naturally told him in detail what happened during the day she followed Gu Chan, but she had no idea what Gu Chan had said in private to Wang Tianxiao, Ding Xiang, and Yan the coroner.

In the end, Ye Tianyang could only frown and order the maid to leave.

"Gu Chan, what exactly did you find out? Why did you seem so confident when you came back in the afternoon?" Sitting behind the desk, Ye Tianyang muttered to himself in confusion.

At this moment, he had no way to deal with Gu Chan, so he could only calm down and wait quietly.
