C49

Not only Yang Shoucheng, even Yan Yuan and Yan Shuo, the uncle and nephew pair would never have thought that Liu Tianxin, a princess from the imperial family, would actually be so calm in such a shocking scene.

"Master Yang, are you sure the two Tutor Yun s were burned to death?"

Liu Ruoqing asked Yang Shoucheng after he finished looking at the corpse.

After being questioned twice by Liu Ruoqing, Yang Shoucheng naturally had some complaints in his heart, but he still nodded his head, "Reporting to Prince Jing's Wife, micron has already carefully examined it. Moreover, with last night's huge fire, there shouldn't be any suspicions regarding the cause of Master Tutor's death."

After Liu Ruoqing heard him finish speaking, he sneered and said: "Master Yang, it seems like you did not have to worry about your master's death after all."

Yang Shoucheng's expression immediately darkened. Although the person in front of him was the Prince Jing's Wife, he was still just a woman, how many cases had he, a dignified Chief Judgement of the Board of Justice, handled? How could she, a woman, criticize him?

As an imperial court judge, Yang Shoucheng was naturally unhappy to be mocked by a woman. She calmly said, "If Princess Consort has any objections to this official's autopsy, Princess Consort might as well recommend someone more experienced than myself to come and have a look.

Yang Shoucheng did not care about the presence of Yan Shuo and Yan Yuan, as he sullenly looked at them.

Liu Ruoqing was not polite, and nodded his head on the spot, and said: "There's no need to recommend me, but Master Yang, you make a bet with me, if you lose, then you can give me your position in the punishment department, what about it?"

Liu Ruoqing's suggestion caused a look of displeasure to appear on Yan Yuan's face. He immediately spoke up to stop her: "Liu Tianxin, this isn't a place for you to mess around."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm making a bet with Lord Yang, you can just stay by the side."

Liu Ruoqing glared at Yan Yuan in annoyance and looked at Yang Shoucheng again, "How is it, Master Yang, do you dare to bet?"

Regardless of whether or not Liu Ruoqing instigated them, at this time, Yang Shoucheng would not reject Liu Ruoqing's suggestion just for face.

Moreover, he was confident enough to make this bet. He didn't believe that he would lose to a little girl.

"Then what if the wangfei loses?"

Liu Ruoqing smiled and shook his head, the confidence in his eyes did not waver in the slightest, "I will not lose."

For a moment, Yan Yuan was stunned. Just as he had thought before, this woman had the characteristics of being extremely intelligent and foolish.

Seeing Liu Ruoqing being so conceited, Yang Shoucheng laughed coldly in his heart, she was truly an unmodest girl, even if she wanted to show off in front of the Duke, she did not need to fight with him over this kind of matter, was she not seeking humiliation?

"In that case, I ask for your guidance, Consort Wang."

There's no need for me to give you pointers, what This wangfei is doing is simply asking Kaiser to owe me a favor, so that things will be easier in the future.

Liu Ruoqing muttered in his heart, but on the surface, he still replied modestly, "Master Yang is too serious, Tian Xin is just using his skills to make a fool of himself."

Yan Yuan looked at her, annoyed at her.

What are you pretending to be modest for? Where did that conceit go?

Liu Ruoqing slowly walked to the two corpses and said, "Master Yang, in my opinion, this Madam Yun did indeed burn herself to death."

Yang Shoucheng did not speak, but the expression on his face showed that he was clearly mocking Liu Ruoqing.

Was this how the wangfei made a bet with him?

"But ?"

Liu Ruoqing added, pointing to the corpse of the Tutor Yun, "However, before the fire had even begun, the honored tutor had already died."

"What?"

Yang Shoucheng didn't believe it at all as he raised his head to look at Liu Ruoqing. He didn't look like he was joking, but the ridicule in his eyes was still obvious.

When she saw him chuckle disapprovingly, she said, "Esteemed wangfei, this corpse has already been burned to this state, can you tell that the honored tutor died before the fire?"

Liu Ruoqing ignored the ridicule and provocation in Yang Shoucheng's eyes, pointed to the two corpses and said to Yang Shoucheng: "Master Yang, come take a look, what's the difference between these two corpses?"

Although Yang Shoucheng was very sure of his judgement, he still listened to Liu Ruoqing's suggestion. He casually looked at the two corpses and said: "Other than the difference in size, this official was unable to see anything."

"Lord Yang, do you really not need to take a serious look?"

Liu Ruoqing laughed, at the same time, the two of them heard Liu Ruoqing's question, and curiously looked at the corpse.

The corpse had been burnt beyond recognition, and it was indeed hard to look at it directly. Other than its body shape, it was hard to see any other differences.

In the next second, Yan Yuan seemed to have noticed something, and his brows twitched a little.

His gaze went back and forth between Tutor Yun and his wife's corpses, and his eyes immediately lit up.

The difference between these two corpses was so huge that Yang Shoucheng couldn't even see this point.

Yan Yuan looked at Yang Shoucheng with a sullen expression, but he did not make a sound, he only stood quietly at the side and watched Liu Ruoqing's performance.

"Princess, this official has been looking at these two corpses since dawn. I really haven't seen much of them."

Yang Shoucheng's tone had already become somewhat impatient.

Liu Ruoqing did not mind his impatient attitude, his hands scratched the skin on his head and said: "Didn't you notice, that Tutor Yun's corpse was still lying there extremely peacefully, trying to ask who it was that would not even have the slightest bit of struggle when facing the raging flames? The only possibility is, that this person had already died, and you can see Madam Yun's corpse, with both hands in the shape of claws, twisted body, clearly because he was suffering from extreme pain while being burnt ?"

Only after hearing Liu Ruoqing's reminder, did Yang Shoucheng's expression change a little. This time, he looked at the corpses of Tutor Yun and Madam Yun seriously, and it was exactly as Liu Ruoqing had said.

However, he was unwilling to admit this point, and could only bite the bullet. "Perhaps the fire was too fast, and Tutor Yun did not even have the chance to struggle before he was burnt to death."

This reason was very far-fetched, even Yang Shoucheng himself did not have much confidence.

But Yang Shoucheng, as a Procurator, admitted defeat. Where would he put his face, and furthermore, there were Kaiser and Prince Jing here, he was even more unwilling to admit it.

Liu Ruoqing smiled meaningfully. It seemed like he really wasn't going to use his trump card, the Punishment Elder wasn't satisfied.

"Then you say that Madam Yun is in the same room as Lord Yun. With the same amount of fire, she has a chance to struggle, but Lord Yun doesn't. Why is that?"

"This ?"

Yang Shoucheng was unable to refute his question for a while.
