Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 694 It's a matter of human effort
Emperor Chu sat high on the dragon chair, with an unpredictable expression, and said calmly: "Xiao Qing's words are not unreasonable, and Dali Temple may prove to be true. This case will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for a thorough investigation."

When Cao Shangshu heard the words, he lamented in his heart, the time was not good, but he shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

If there is no court, Shen Cheng generally does not have to go to the court. After the court, Cao Shangshu will go to Dali Temple to find him.

Seeing that Rong Jiu was also in Dali Temple, Cao Shangshu hurriedly saluted and said, "Princess has also come to Dali Temple."

Rong Jiu smiled and pushed a plate of pastries in front of Cao Shangshu: "The mother in the mansion made yam cakes, and brought them to the son-in-law to taste, and Mr. Cao also tasted them. They added bean paste fillings, which are sweet but not greasy."

"Thank you princess,"

Cao Shangshu squeezed a piece, with a mouthful of yam cake still in his mouth, and heard Shen Cheng ask: "Why did Mr. Cao come to Dali Temple today, but what's the big deal?"

When Cao Shangshu heard this, his expression became serious: "Last night, there was a female ghost revived in Chang'an City. Did Mr. Shen hear about it?"

Shen Cheng nodded: "Ghosts are only in people's minds, it's just someone pretending to be a ghost."

Cao Shangshu lamented, and said distressedly: "Last night's commotion led to the old case of Xue's family ten years ago. In the early court, there was almost a quarrel. Your Majesty ordered the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation."

Shen Cheng was stunned, apparently he did not expect that Emperor Chu would bring the Ministry of Punishment into trouble, no wonder Cao Shangshu was crying.

After a moment of daze, Cao Shangshu asked: "Does Mr. Shen know about the old case of the Xue family?"

Shen Cheng said indifferently: "I heard from my father that he was dismissed because of this case back then."

Cao Shangshu sighed again: "The old case from ten years ago has lost all clues, how can we find it?"

Rong Jiu saw his sad and moaning face, pushed the yam cake in front of him again, and said with a smile: "I heard people say that eating some sweets will make you feel better. You don't need to worry too much, Mr. Cao, as long as you have done it before. However, no matter how long it has passed, there will always be traces to check, it is man-made, and there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed."

"That's what the princess said."

Shen Cheng drank his tea and suggested: "Since this case is thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple together, it is better for us to do it separately. Dali Temple investigates the old cases from that year, and the matter of the female ghost's revenge is handed over to Mr. Cao for a thorough investigation. Mr. Cao What do you think?"

"Very good," Cao Shangshu said in response, then frowned and thought, "It's strange to say that the female ghost was floating in the air, and the people in Chang'an heard the cry for their lives. It’s the same in my ear, could it be that the female ghost really came to take revenge?”

Shen Cheng's face remained calm, and he said in a slow voice: "No matter how seamless the layout is, there will still be flaws. The so-called female ghost is just a way to cover up the eyes, but we just can't get it right."

Cao Shangshu nodded, ate a few pieces of yam cake and got up to leave, Shen Cheng stopped him: "Master Huang is involved in the case, Dali Temple can't act alone, please send someone to come over, please Master Cao."

Cao Shangshu stopped in his tracks and looked at him in astonishment, a little stunned: "Master Shen wants an autopsy? The Xue family?"

Shen Cheng nodded slightly: "We don't have any clues now, so we can only investigate from the beginning."

"People have been dead for ten years, and there is only a handful of bones left. What can be found?"

"Lord Cao, the only thing in this world that can't lie is a corpse."

"I'll let Uncle Zhu come to Dali Temple immediately."
