"I won't go," Mrs. Lin stood up from the pool of blood, "I will speak out about my son's grievances myself. You want to stay with your Lin family and be afraid of death, but I am not afraid."

Shao Xingjian did not let Lin Shiqiang get close to Mrs. Lin. He glanced down and shook his head at Gu Qinghe who was about to come forward. The imperial physician whom he had sent people to find in advance had also arrived.

Mrs. Lin was helped inside. Whether she sued or not, the blood had to be stopped first, otherwise she might die before she could say a few words.

Jingzhao Yin didn't want to get involved in this matter. He paced back and forth, stroking his beard, looking at Shao Xingjian, then at the people from the Ministry of Justice, and opened his mouth and closed it again.

This matter had nothing to do with the Ministry of Justice. Seeing that Jingzhao Yin was about to push this hot potato away, the Minister of Justice waved his hand and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with. Lord Lu is busy, so I will go back first."

There was only Shao Xingjian left, and the Jingzhao Yin refused to let him go no matter how hard he tried.

He is old, but Shao Xingjian is young. Besides, he is from the Duke's Mansion and is valued by the emperor. With him around, Jingzhao Yin can feel at ease.

"Master Shao, do you think we should inform His Majesty about this first?"

Shao Xingjian said nonchalantly, "The Minister of Justice has heard about it and rushed over to watch the fun. Do you think His Majesty doesn't know about it?"

"Well, then, then, what does your Majesty mean now?"

"Since no one has come to inform us, then we will naturally handle the case impartially. Your Excellency should conduct the interrogation in the manner you wish. Otherwise, Your Majesty should have sent someone to inform us long ago."

That's true. Jingzhao Yin calmed down and felt that what Shao Xingjian said made a lot of sense.

"But where did Madam Lin come from when she said that the King of Wu imprisoned someone else's wife?"

"You will know after you have tried the case. Since the case has been reported, I believe that Madam Lin must have some evidence."

He glanced at the sky outside. "When I heard that Madam Lin wanted to sue King Wu for killing her son Lin Cong, I sent someone back to get the case file of Lin Cong. You may want to take a look at it later so that you can be prepared in advance."

"Lord Shao is still very thoughtful." Jingzhao Yin looked at Shao Xingjian with admiration in his eyes. It seemed that he was really old, and he was not as calm as these young people in handling things.

The file was brought in quickly. Jingzhao Yin studied it carefully, frowning more and more. "Lin Cong was said to have died of suffocation before. How come the file was modified later?"

Shao Xingjian's expression also became serious. "I personally took people to examine Lin Cong's body. At that time, all the signs on the body showed that Lin Cong had indeed died of suffocation. But later, the Lin family said that there was a problem with the autopsy results. Mrs. Lin found signs of poisoning on Lin Cong's body."

"I took someone to examine the body again, and it was indeed as Mrs. Lin said. The changes on the body surface were very obvious."

The Lin family was rich and took good care of Lin Cong's body, so there was no sign of it decaying.

The results of the second autopsy were very different from the first death by suffocation. In addition to suffocation, Lin Cong also showed signs of poisoning.

This made Shao Xingjian wonder why Lin Cong suffocated. Was he killed by the poison, or was he really suffocated to death by the woman he loved?

With Mrs. Lin's permission, Shao Xingjian performed a small autopsy on Lin Cong's body and determined the cause of Lin Cong's death.

It was indeed death from suffocation, but he was not suffocated to death. Instead, his larynx was swollen and he couldn't breathe, so he suffocated to death.

How could Mrs. Lin accept that her son died in such a tragic way? Hence the scene of beating the drum to report the incident today.

Jingzhao Yin stroked his chin and his expression became solemn.

He has been in the position of Jingzhao Yin for many years. When he was young, he served as a prefect in other places. He solved countless cases, both big and small, and was praised by the people. Later, he was transferred to the capital and moved up step by step until he sat in his current position.

After sitting here, he gradually discovered that this position was far from as easy as he had imagined, and solving cases was no longer an exciting and joyful thing for him.

Just like now, he has to weigh the pros and cons, consider his family, and not offend this one or that one.

Shao Xingjian looked at him and said slowly, "Sir, just do it as long as you have a clear conscience."

……

The people who were watching the excitement outside dispersed, and Lin Shiqiang was not allowed to enter. Looking at his pale face, if one didn't know, one would think that he was really worried about his wife.

Qi Mingyue walked over and deliberately annoyed him, "Master Lin, Madam Lin is really admirable. Don't worry too much. Master Shao is kind-hearted. Since he has called the imperial physician, Madam Lin should be fine. You just need to wait patiently."

Lin Shiqiang looked up at him, but his gaze fell on Yao Shiliang who was about to turn around not far away. He clenched his teeth tightly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out directly and burn Yao Shiliang.

It's all his fault, it's all his fault. If it weren't for him, how could he be involved in these things, and how could his son die? His Lin family was doing business well, even if they suffered a disaster, it would have been many years later, so how could they end up like this now.

His son died, but Yao Shiliang's son was still alive. This man watched the joke of his Lin family from afar, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Shiqiang could no longer stand still. He didn't care about anything else and started to curse, "Yao Shiliang, don't even think about getting away with it! It's all your fault that I'm in this situation today! You framed Zhongliang and teamed up with the thieves to kill my son. You want my Lin family to take the blame for you? You're dreaming!"

There was an uproar all around. Yao Shiliang turned back under everyone's gaze and said slowly, "Master Lin may have gone crazy with fear."

He continued walking forward. Who would care about what a madman says?

Gu Qinghe looked at the two of them with a puzzled look in his eyes, slowly lowered his head, and turned away.

She parted ways with Qi Mingyue and planned to go to Uncle Fu's place.

Even though Prime Minister Li failed to successfully expose her identity in front of the emperor that day, the emperor must have guessed her identity, and Uncle Fu could no longer stay here.

Before reaching the courtyard, Gu Qinghe was suddenly picked up by someone.

Her scalp exploded and she subconsciously wanted to shake out the powder in her sleeves, but the familiar smell she smelled made her stop.

Shao Wei held her wrist tightly, his voice full of smiles and fatigue, "Which powder do you plan to use?"

"Of course it's specially made for those who cheat on you," Gu Qinghe glared at him fiercely, "Aren't you afraid of frightening me to death by doing this?"

Shao Wei sneered, somewhat sarcastic, "You are so brave, how can you be scared so easily?"

"Don't be so weird, why did you come back?"

After giving him a glare, Gu Qinghe couldn't help but look at him. The dust on the hem of his clothes showed that he must have come back in a hurry and didn't have time to go back to the general's mansion to change clothes, but came straight to her.
