Outside the palace gate, a guard approached.
"Your Majesty, are you going back to your home?"
"Go to the Beijun Mansion." Sima Ying was really not tired at all, "Just walk over."
"Yes." He looked at his master strolling forward, as if he was taking a casual walk at night.
This pace was as leisurely as when he sent the queen back to the palace just now. The guards who followed also slowed down and were still a little uncomfortable.
Sima Ying's personal bodyguard Chen Dali followed beside him and whispered: "Today, Sima Lun and Sima Jiong's people have been following from a distance."
"Huh, what's the use of such a little trick!" Sima Ying continued walking forward with her hands behind her back, "Is the man riding past Sima Lun's grandson?"
"Yes." Chen Dali's voice was even lower. "This man is very arrogant. He relies on his grandfather to be Sima Lun and engages in all kinds of debauchery and even gambling..."
"Who else was injured today?"
"There are a few passers-by, all with minor scratches." Chen Dali looked around. As the lights went out at night, Zhuque Street had become quiet, and some shops were closing their doors. "Many people have been hurt, but everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out."
"Let's check this matter again." At this time, Sima Ying had already arrived at the Beijun Mansion. Sima Ying looked up at the lantern at the gate moving in the wind, and suddenly laughed again, "Master Zhu is going to be busy."
The Beijun Mansion was brightly lit, and the soldiers standing in the north wind couldn't help but shiver.
The guards followed Sima Ying into the Beijun Mansion without anyone stopping them.
There were many people walking around in the yard, and some were talking quietly.
When he saw Sima Ying walking in, he immediately saluted.
"What?" Sima Ying asked a person who walked over quickly.
This person is Qin Chao, the military guard under Zhu Mo.
"Your Majesty, a body was found in Luohe tonight. It has just been transported over and is being inspected."
"Well, where is Mr. Zhu?"
"In the second hall, will I take you there?"
"No need, I will go there myself." Sima Ying was also very familiar with this place and walked to the second hall by herself.
Sure enough, Zhu Mo was sitting in the second hall in a daze, looking at the tea cup in front of him with a dark expression.
"Master Zhu."
Sima Ying called him, and then she came back to her senses. She hurriedly stood up and saluted Sima Ying, "Your Majesty."
"What's going on?" Sima Ying asked knowingly.
After Zhu Mo asked him to sit down, he said: "I wonder if the prince has heard about it? Just now someone found a corpse under Feihong Bridge, and it was also a corpse with a broken face."
"Well, I was in Mingyue Tower at that time and saw it." Sima Ying nodded, "So? What did you find?"
"It's been transported to the backyard quarantine office for Grandma Ruan to perform an autopsy."
"Female corpse?"
"Yes." Zhu Mo asked someone to serve tea to Sima Ying. "When the Empress left, she said that Ruan Apo didn't tell the truth. The official immediately beat Ruan Apo with a stick and didn't let her go. He continued to remove the female body again. Let's do an inspection and write a report with Chen Wuzuo. Now that's good, another female corpse comes, so I can show it to her too."
"When will there be results?" Sima Ying did not touch the tea in front of her.
"Soon." Zhu Mo also became irritated, "This is another murder case. King Zhao will definitely punish me."
"If you solved the case in time, I should reward you."
"How can it be so easy... Lei Dayong is still crying to death... Hey... I am also having a bad time, so I should go to Hongguang Temple to burn incense." Maybe it was because of the night, Zhu Mo was also very tired, and in Sima Ying seemed much more casual in front of her.
"I still want to remind you that if you can't solve the case, you will have to guard the city gate." Sima Ying still looked polite and upright, "Let Grandma Ruan come over."
"Okay, okay." Zhu Mo knew that he was a little rude, so he quickly stood up and went to the door to give instructions.
Grandma Ruan was beaten with a military stick and had some difficulty walking. She was helped in by Chen Wuzuo.
The faces of these two people were not very good, and they looked even paler under the candlelight.
"This is a woman. She has been soaking for four or five days. Because it is cold water, the foaming is not too severe." Grandma Ruan endured the pain and stood still. "He is about thirty-five to forty-five years old. His face was hit with a sharp weapon and his appearance is no longer visible. There are no external injuries on other parts of his body. It's just..."
"What?" Zhu Mo frowned.
"It's just that there is a suspected birthmark on the back of the neck. But because the hair is soaked on the body, we have to control the water to see if it is a birthmark or a corpse spot."
"Oh, then we have to wait a while?" Zhu Mo rubbed his forehead, "That's all?"
"Yes." Grandma Ruan lowered her head.
"Birthmark?" Sima Ying caught the key word and suddenly asked: "Today, Lei Dayong's daughter said that her mother had a birthmark on the back of her neck..."
"...Could it be that?" Zhu Mo trembled, "Someone, let Lei Dayong come over and identify the body."
This time, his movements were extremely fast.
Sima Ying stood up and glanced at Granny Ruan again before saying, "Did you tell me all that?"
"I told you, don't dare to lie." Grandma Ruan had already been beaten, so she was naturally very frightened.
"Let Lei Dayong identify the body after the body is dried tomorrow." Sima Ying emphasized again, "Close the case as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Mo followed behind, "The Queen, do you want to say something?"
"We'll wait until the results come out tomorrow." Sima Ying couldn't help but glance at him. It seemed that many people knew about what happened between him and the queen in Mingyue Tower today.
"Your Majesty." Grandma Ruan suddenly spoke. "The common people have a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not."
"Say." Sima Ying was unambiguous.
"The Queen is attentive, can you please come and take a look..."
"Presumptuous, what are you talking about! How can the Queen look at such filthy things!" Before Sima Ying could speak, Zhu Mo had already shouted, "There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. How could she do such a thing?"
"The common people just think that when the Queen was helping the common people take notes today, her handwriting was beautiful and her observations were careful..." Granny Ruan was really straightforward.
"Let's discuss this matter later." Sima Ying couldn't help but press her forehead, "It also depends on what she wants."
"Yes, yes." Zhu Mo lowered his head again.
"The grassroots are going to write a detailed autopsy report now. Tomorrow morning..." Grandma Ruan kept looking at Sima Ying.
"I will be here early tomorrow morning." When Sima Ying said this, she looked at Zhu Mo, "I am the supervisor, and these two murder cases must be solved as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes." Zhu Mo quickly bowed, but his mouth had already been turned aside, and he felt very aggrieved.
