Chapter 402 Troubleshooting

As soon as he finished speaking, the talent from the Dali Temple popped his head out from the steps below.

The person who came was actually the Dali Temple Minister Chu Liang, who was followed by two subordinates.

Chu Liang was quite surprised to see Zhou Chang, so he stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness Prince Yi, why are you here?"

Zhou Chang returned the gift and repeated it.

Everyone who sees Prince Yi asks him this question, which shows that Prince Yi's appearance here is really abrupt.

Chu Liang laughed heartily: "Haha..., His Royal Highness Prince Xian didn't forget to go hunting in the mountains today. His Royal Highness Prince Duan is still seriously injured and hasn't recovered yet. Only His Royal Highness Prince Yi can hide away and have some free time."

"Everyone knows that I am not good at riding and shooting. But if I were not delayed here, I would go to visit my brother Prince Duan." Zhou Chang responded verbally, but he couldn't help but think about Prince Xian again.

It was inappropriate for King Xian to go into the mountains to hunt at this time, unless he was in a hurry to deal with the assassins or destroy some evidence.

Chu Liang then greeted Tang Mao and Fang She respectively. He was very comfortable with this aspect and was not in a hurry to see the corpses.

However, no one had the time to greet him.

Chu Liang stopped talking nonsense and turned to look at the body.

However, he only took a quick look and turned away: "Alas, it's a pity that there is no coroner among the people accompanying us, so I can only let my subordinates take a quick look. If we want a detailed investigation, we have to wait until we return to Jindu."

"It's such a hot day, and the body is in this condition. Can we wait until we get back?" Zhou Chang was worried about the body.

Chu Liang just wanted to fool around: "Your Highness Prince Yi is right. We should find some lime and bury them on the spot. The epidemic in the south is serious now. Don't let the hunting palace cause any more trouble at this time."

Zhou Chang nodded in agreement.

Chu Liang ordered his subordinates behind him: "You two go over and take a look at the cause of death so that you can prepare a closing statement."

As they were talking, the two were about to decide Liu Dexia's death.

"This is inappropriate..." Peng Liang opened his mouth, but unfortunately no one listened to him.

Firstly, his father Peng Pai was not present, and secondly, Marquis Wu'an was too old to come on this hunting palace trip.

Come to think of it, I had no one to support me at the moment, so I didn't dare to act rashly.

In front of their direct superior, two of Chu Liang's men were reluctant but had to personally take action. After a rough search of Liu Dexia's body, they came to the conclusion: "It must be that there was a fire in the hunting palace last night, and this eunuch Liu encountered a fire and an assassin, who strangled him to death and threw his body into the dry well."

Chu Liang thought about it for a moment and thought that it was logical, but he asked Zhou Chang again: "What do you think, Prince Yi?"

Zhou Chang acted as if it had nothing to do with him, and stood with his hands behind his back: "I was dragged here to make up the numbers, why is Lord Chu asking about me?"

Chu Liang smiled and looked at Tang Mao again.

The Imperial Guards have always had the worst impression of the eunuchs, and Tang Mao obviously didn't want to bother with the affairs of the eunuchs: "I am only responsible for guarding the palace and protecting the safety of Your Majesty. The Imperial Guards have no right to interfere in the affairs of the eunuchs."

Chu Liang finally looked at Fang She and said, "General Manager Fang, what do you think?"

At some point, Fang She had already been playing with a string of white giant clam bracelets, saying indifferently, "Amitabha, in my opinion, Lord Chu is wise. These two subordinates of yours are not coroners, but they are better than coroners."

Chu Liang asked around, and no one had any objections, so he looked relaxed: "In that case, let's close the case. However, the weather is hot, and the body is prone to rot, and the fire may cause plague. Therefore, I would like to trouble Lord Tang to borrow two hands to help sprinkle lime on the body and carry a thin coffin so that it can be transported back to Jindu."

Tang Mao frowned when he heard this, obviously this was not the job of his imperial guards.

Chu Liang also saw it and laughed: "Haha, it's not that I'm looking for trouble, but now the Hunting Palace is in ruins and my Dali Temple has been ordered to help investigate the assassin and arson. I really can't spare any manpower. After all, the Imperial Guards have many elite soldiers and generals, so I shamelessly asked Lord Tang for help."

Tang Mao refused to speak easily, and kept silent with a tense face.

Everyone knows that Dali Temple Minister Chu Liang is a man from an aristocratic family who is always pushing things around.

Zhou Chang also wanted to avoid any more trouble: "Lord Chu, why do you have to go to so much trouble to make a coffin? Since the cause of death has been determined, just deal with it together with the people who were burned to death and killed by assassins last night. Do we have to carry the bodies of those people back to Jin one by one?"

Fang She nodded beside him.

If it was really a coroner who performed an autopsy, there is no guarantee that he would find out that Liu Dexia was fed poison and then strangled to death, which would then lead to a series of incidents.

Zhou Chang also thought that Wen Qingyan was still a time witness last night. Fortunately, Tang Mao seemed to have forgotten that he had seen him nearby last night, so he was looking forward to finding out about this matter this morning.

Chu Liang glanced at Fang She and the eunuchs around him, and thought to himself: "If Eunuch Liu was an ordinary eunuch, then it would be what His Royal Highness Prince Yi wants, but he is at least a eunuch of a certain rank. At this moment, His Majesty will naturally not care about him, but if he remembers him later, he must give an explanation."

Fang She smiled with a fake smile, and he couldn't hide his contempt for Liu Dexia's body: "Lord Chu is worrying too much. If His Majesty has any questions, we are here, and it will never be Liu Dexia's turn to come near."

"Lord Chu, isn't it enough to explain the conclusion just now?" Zhou Chang had no idea about criminal case procedures.

Chu Liang has always been a person who does not seek credit but only avoids mistakes. He only wants to clear himself of all responsibility: "It's so hot, I don't mind the trouble, but I'm afraid that one day someone will ask about it..."

Tang Mao was even more afraid of trouble, so he was able to think of a quick solution: "I will report to Commander Sun right away and ask him to report directly to the emperor so that His Majesty can deal with it directly. At that time, how to deal with the body will be entirely up to His Majesty."

"That's great, and thank you, Deputy Commander Tang." Chu Liang also wished this would happen.

Would he be willing to carry the corpse of a eunuch back to Jindu?

Zhou Chang looked at Fang She and said, "Lord Fang, aren't you going back to report to His Majesty as well? Why don't you go with Deputy Commander Tang and settle this matter, so as to save both Lord Chu and Deputy Commander Tang from trouble."

Fang She was happy to do this favor: "Your Highness Prince Yi is right."

Fang She did it right away and left with Tang Mao.

Chu Liang couldn't leave for a moment. He took another look at the corpse on the ground and couldn't hide his disgust: "These people in the inner palace have been in the palace for a long time. I don't know how many people they have offended in order to get promoted. If we really investigate, there will be a myriad of connections that will never be exhausted."

"Lord Chu is a smart man. There is no need for him to get involved in such a lawsuit in such hot weather." Zhou Chang had half of the "big thing" done when he caught a glimpse of Peng Liang out of the corner of his eye and his mind moved again.

Last time, Nettle failed to deal with this guy, but today he came to the door on his own.
