Chapter 182 The Corpse in the Well

A corpse was found in a well on Deshun Street behind the Xunyang Posthouse.

The body was highly decomposed, with large stones tied to its body, and appeared to have been murdered.

The cause of the incident was that the residents of Shunyi Street, Deshun Street, and Dexing Street before and after the posthouse often suffered from repeated outbreaks of seasonal epidemics.

The government doctor thought that there might be a problem with the nearby water source, so he proposed to search the well, and found such a corpse.

Since the body was tied with stones, it should not be a suicide.

When it comes to a lawsuit involving human life, the person digging the well immediately reported the case.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement. The degree of corruption of this corpse should have been soaked in the well for a long time. Thinking of drinking the soaking water for the past few months, the nearby residents were disgusted and vomited one after another.

Cai Siyuan came and ordered the body to be moved back to the government office.

Before moving the corpse, Wu Zuo untied the stones tied to his body. He didn't know how to do it, so he accidentally pulled his pants, and then, under the eyes of everyone, he accidentally discovered that this person was an eunuch——
For the ordinary people who watched the excitement, they only felt that the fact that the corpse was an eunuch was too unlucky. If they drank the eunuch's corpse soaking water, would they lose their children and grandchildren from now on?

Coincidentally, King Ze happened to pass by and saw this absurd scene.

King Ze felt that he was about to get a needle's eye. He should have stayed in Wangqiu Courtyard to accompany An Fupei, but the guard Tie Song found a house next to the well.

These golden lotuses should have been hoarded by the mysterious person before the outbreak of the epidemic.

It's just that the owner of this house has died of the epidemic.

The clue seems to have been broken, and it seems that with the appearance of the eunuch's corpse, there is a clever connection again.

Ordinary people who have nothing to do will eunuch themselves. Since they are eunuchs, there is a high possibility that they are eunuchs in the palace.

King Ze immediately ordered Tie Song to secretly follow Wu Zuo to the morgue of the government office.

Tie Song clings to the eaves of the morgue, and pulls away the tiles to peek at the dead body.

The corpse was indeed drowned, and the time of death was about two months ago, and when it died, it had already been infected with the epidemic.

Tie Song reported the news to King Ze.

King Ze pondered, two months ago, it was around the time of the outbreak of the Xunyang epidemic.
-
So, did this eunuch die before the outbreak of the epidemic, or after the outbreak of the epidemic?

If this person died after the epidemic broke out, then the eunuch's death was an ordinary murder case.

But if this person died before the epidemic broke out, then this eunuch would be the zeroth infected person of the Xunyang epidemic.
-
This thing is too strange.

King Ze thought that three months ago, the crown prince visited Nankang on behalf of the heavens. On the way back, he passed by Xunyang and stayed in a posthouse for one night.

The prince went on tour on behalf of the emperor, so there would naturally be eunuchs to serve him.

As for this business, whether or not any eunuchs were damaged on the way, and where the damage occurred, we have to check the East Palace to find out.

Another thing is that because Yaowanggu developed a prescription for anti-epidemic, according to Ji Ruhou himself, after developing the prescription for anti-epidemic, he wrote to Emperor Yue.

Of course, Emperor Yue did not receive this letter, otherwise, after the outbreak of the epidemic in Xunyang, he would not be so flustered.

Is it possible that the crown prince hid this letter from Yaowanggu?
Medicine King Valley is located in Nankang.

During the prince's tour, have you ever been to Yaowang Valley?

If the prince had been to the Valley of the Medicine King, then—the epidemic in Xunyang would have nothing to do with the prince.

Tie Song patted his thigh, "There is no need to investigate this matter, the prince must have done it!"

The crown prince Ying Jinglong is the son of the original queen Pan, but now the Pan family has been abolished, and Ying Jinglong is still the crown prince.

Ying Jinglong felt very sorry for this, and feared that he would be deposed.

After the outbreak of the Xunyang epidemic, Bei'anhou bought genetic preparations from the Wu people and sent genetic assassins to assassinate An Fupei who was curing the Xunyang epidemic.

Bei'anhou is the prince's affiliated party.

The Marquis of Bei'an sent people to block off the surrounding area of ​​Xunyang, so that the news that the epidemic in Xunyang was over could not be spread.

The truth is already out.

King Ze learned that Ji Ruhou had led the disciples of Yaowang Valley back to Xunyang, so he immediately went to find Ji Ruhou and asked the prince if he had been to Yaowang Valley before.

Because this kind of epidemic has not appeared in the world for a long time, only Yaowanggu is developing anti-epidemic prescriptions, which means that Yaowanggu has the virus of the epidemic.

As long as the prince had been to the Valley of the Medicine King at that time, then the mastermind of all this was undoubtedly the prince!
King Ze hurried to the hall of Wangqiu Courtyard, just as he walked into the courtyard, he saw An Fupei sitting on the main seat in the hall, talking to Ji Ruhou with a smile.

But Ji Ruhou looked furious.

A flash of light flashed in King Ze's mind, realizing that An Fupei was forcing Ji Ruhou to fulfill the bet.

Originally, the bet was made, and it was only natural for Ji Ruhou to fulfill the contract. In normal times, if Ji Ruhou was thick-skinned and refused to perform the contract, King Ze would beat Ji Ruhou up.

King Danzi's mind turned extremely fast at this moment.

All kinds of evidence now show that Yaowang Valley is related to the epidemic in Xunyang.

Once An Fupei took over the stall of Yaowanggu, she would be forced to be involved in the conspiracy of Xunyang Shiyan.

Although King Ze kept a close eye on the major events in the court, he himself did not want to get involved in the open and secret struggles in the court.

He also didn't want An Fupei to get involved in it.

King Ze's handsome brow frowned, he had to stop An Fupei from continuing this bet.

He raised his legs and walked towards the hall, and just as he reached the door, he heard Ji Ruhou's reserved voice, saying to An Fupei, "What are you, if King Ze hadn't looked at you, a woman like you would be nothing! "

King Ze glanced inward, and saw Ji Ruhou looking at An Fupei with contempt.

"You're just a second-in-law wife. Don't think that you can despise me if you know some medical skills. As a woman, the most important thing is to be virtuous. In this regard, you have failed!"

King Ze was suddenly stabbed in the heart. An Fupei's background and experience caused her to suffer a lot of criticism. This time, she was the one who won the bet against Yaowanggu, but Ji Ruhou looked down on An Fupei and tried every possible means. Refuse to fulfill the bet.

If he went in now to make An Fupei give up the bet, Ji Ruhou would think that even he would not support An Fupei anymore!Ji Ruhou must be even more proud.

King Ze really didn't want to see Ji Ruhou use this face to deal with An Fupei.

But Medicine King Valley is really dirty, if he helps An Fupei get Medicine King Valley right now, it will cause endless disasters in the future.

King Ze thought about it seriously, what method should be used to make An Fupei give up Yaowang Valley without hurting her face?
