330 Important Clue
Seeing that Luo Pingsha was still ignoring him, Wei Liao deliberately lowered his voice.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll expose you?”
Lo Pingsha finally acknowledged him this time.
“Go. When the emperor asks, we’ll say that you came up with the idea of opening the coffin and performing an autopsy.”
Wei Liao said disdainfully, “You’re just slandering me. The emperor won’t believe you!”
Lo Pingsha said, “You went down to the tomb with us and even opened the coffin with us for an autopsy. What’s wrong with saying that you came up with this idea?”
“You’re the one doing the autopsy. I didn’t!”
Lo Pingsha asked, “Who would believe you?”
Wei Liao choked, then laughed.
“That’s right. Other than me, everyone else here is on your side. They will definitely testify for you. I was careless this time. I actually followed you down to the tomb alone. I admit defeat.”
Lo Pingsha ignored Wei Liao and spoke to one of the Eagle Guards.
“Bring the oil lamp over.”
The Eagle Guard immediately brought the oil lamp to Lo Pingsha.
Lo Pingsha carefully examined Imperial Concubine Yue’s remains under the dim yellow light.

Inside the Justice Department, Yu Niaoniao read Wang Xue’s information seven or eight times but did not see any problems.
According to the information, Wangxue’s ancestral hometown was in Hexi County, west of the river. Her parents had died when she was young. In order to survive, she had no choice but to sell herself as a slave. After a few twists and turns, she was sold to the Wen family and became a maidservant to the eldest daughter of the Wen family.
Later, Miss Wen married into the palace and became the empress. Wang Xue also entered the palace and became the most useful palace maid on Empress Wen’s side.
This information had been investigated by the Eagle Guards. There should be no mistake.
How could an orphan with no parents be threatened?
Yu Niaoniao fell into deep thought.
There had to be something that was amiss.
She must have missed something!
Yu Niaoniao took a big gulp of Fat Otaku Joy Water, then widened her eyes and stared at the handwriting on the paper, planning to read it again.
This time she read it especially carefully, almost word for word.
Halfway through, her heart skipped a beat. Her gaze shifted back to the line on the far left—
Her ancestral home was in Hexi County.
Yu Niaoniao stared at the words. She felt like she had heard someone mention Hexi County somewhere.
When was it?
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her mind was replaying everything that had happened in the past few days.
In the end, she found nothing.
Yu Niaoniao was not discouraged. Her memory could not be wrong. Since she could feel that Hexi County was familiar, someone must have mentioned it to her.
If it hadn’t happened recently, it had happened much longer ago.
She pushed her memory forward to four months ago. In Xingning City of Liaodong County, the county governor’s residence, the wife of the county governor, the Shu family…
Madam Shu!
Yu Niaoniao immediately remembered that Madam Shu was from Hexi County!
Previously, when she was in Xingning, she had heard someone mention the Shu family and knew that she was from a famous family in the west of the river.
Because it was just a casual mention and not anything important, she did not take it to heart. She actually did not remember it immediately just now.
Yu Niaoniao knocked her head. “To think you have a photographic memory. You didn’t even remember.”
She got up and ran out to find Meng Xizhou.
“Help me find information on the Shu family in Hexi County.”
Meng Xizhou did not understand why she wanted this, but he still did as she said.
