Chapter 49 - Chapter 49 049. post-mortem examination

Not only Yang Shou Cheng, Yan Yuan and Yan Shuo this uncle and nephew both did not expect that Liu Tian Xin, a Princess from the royal family, a girl, would actually be so calm towards this kind of shocking scene.

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

Liu Ruo Qing asked Yang Shou Cheng after he finished looking at the corpse.

After being questioned twice by Liu Ruo Qing, Yang Shou Cheng naturally had some complaints in his heart, but he still nodded his head, "Reporting to Crown Princess Jing, this humble subject has already carefully examined it. Besides, with last night's huge fire, there won't be any suspicious about the cause of death of Master Tutor."

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

Yang Shou Cheng's expression immediately darkened. Although the person in front of him was the Crown Princess Jing, 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 a court official, Yang Shou Cheng was naturally unhappy to be mocked by a woman. He then said in a calm voice, "If Consort Wang has any objections to this lowly official's autopsy, why don't you recommend her to a person with more experience than myself?"

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

Liu Ruo Qing was not polite, and nodded her 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 Ruo Qing's suggestion caused a look of displeasure to appear on Yan Yuan's face. She immediately spoke up to stop his: "Liu Tian Xin, 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 Ruo Qing glared at Yan Yuan in annoyance and looked at Yang Shou Cheng again, "How is it, Master Yang, do you dare to bet?"

Regardless of whether or not Liu Ruo Qing instigated them, at this time, Yang Shou Cheng would not reject Liu Ruo Qing'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 Ruo Qing smiled and shook her head, the confidence in her eyes did not waver in the slightest, "I will not lose."

That appearance of hers, that was so confident that it seemed to be a little conceited, made Yan Yuan stunned for a few seconds. Just as he had thought before, this woman had a character that made her seem like a fool.

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

Liu Ruo Qing muttered in her heart, but on the surface, she 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 Ruo Qing slowly walked to the two corpses and said, "Master Yang, in my opinion, this Madam Yun did indeed burn herself to death."

Yang Shou Cheng did not speak, but the expression on his face showed that he was clearly mocking Liu Ruo Qing.

Was this how the wangfei made a bet with him?

"But …"

Liu Ruo Qing added, pointing to Tutor Yun's corpse, she said, "But Master Tutor died before the fire."

"What?"

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

Seeing him laugh disapprovingly, she said: "Esteemed wangfei, this corpse has already been burnt to this state, can you tell that Master Tutor died before the fire?"

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

Although Yang Shou Cheng was very sure of his judgement, he still listened to Liu Ruo Qing'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 Ruo Qing laughed, at the same time, the two of them heard Liu Ruo Qing'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.

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

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

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

Yang Shou Cheng's tone had already become somewhat impatient.

Liu Ruo Qing did not mind his impatient attitude, her hands scratched the skin on her 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, twisting body, clearly struggling from the extreme pain of being burned …"

Only after hearing Liu Ruo Qing's reminder, did Yang Shou Cheng'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 Ruo Qing 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 Shou Cheng himself did not have much confidence.

But Yang Shou Cheng, 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 Ruo Qing smiled meaningfully. It seemed like she really wasn't going to use her 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 Shou Cheng was unable to refute his question for a while.
