Chapter 436: So there is no one to testify?
Thinking that she had asked Zhang San and Li Si to do this, she could not help but glare at the two yamen runners in the corner.
Zhang San and Li Si were just getting terrified. When they saw the adult's gloomy face, they were so panicked that they almost cried.
They...they don’t know what’s going on either.
Although it was dark and the wilderness was frightening, they were so scared when they heard the wolves howling that they ran away in panic.
Afterwards they thought that if they left the body there, wild animals might come and eat it all, saving them the effort of burying it.
Later, they went to take a look early in the morning and found that there was only a pool of blood and pieces of clothing left on the place where the body was placed.
Thinking that the body must have been eaten by a wild beast, he went back to report to his superiors.
Who...who knows how this corpse appeared now?
They were almost scared to death.
Prefect Xue was so angry that he wanted to curse, his face was mixed with emotion, he felt like sitting on pins and needles, and he was very panicked inside.
Ji Yunfei raised his head with red eyes and glared at Ji Xuan angrily: "Your Highness, do you find this corpse familiar?"
Ji Xuan's expression was slightly stiff, her eyes flickered slightly, she flicked her sleeves and said coldly: "What do you mean by familiar or not familiar? This lady doesn't know what you are talking about."
Ji Yunfei clenched his fists tightly, his face grim: "Your Highness, do you know that the person lying in the coffin is the legitimate young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"
Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and she said disdainfully: "So what?"
"Heh~ How is it?"
Ji Yunfei sneered, stared at Ji Xuan with hatred, and asked sarcastically.
"Your Highness and Lord Xue both said they had never seen the body, but I heard yesterday that the body was taken away by Her Highness the Crown Princess."
"Now that a body has appeared out of nowhere on the street and has been tortured, shouldn't Your Highness give me an explanation?"
"What a joke!" Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with anger: "What does this have to do with me? What can I explain?"
"You just randomly pulled a corpse and said it was the young master of the Zhenguo Mansion. There are so many similar people in the world. What makes you think that this corpse is the person you are looking for?"
Ji Huashang thought it made sense after hearing this, and looked at Ji Yunfei and asked in a calm voice.
"How did Master Ji determine that the body belonged to Young Master Ji?"
Although she didn't like the princess very much, as a member of the royal family, she couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Ji Yunfei had also heard of Her Royal Highness Prince Rui, and had admired her for her youth, potential, bravery and fighting skills.
Compared with his indifference towards the princess, his attitude towards Prince Rui was somewhat more relaxed.
Then he said, "There is an old wound on Fu'er's arm. It was accidentally scratched when she was practicing sword when she was a child. Also, when Fu'er was born, there was a cinnabar mole on the back of her neck. You can tell at a glance."
Hearing this, Ji Huashang looked at Prefect Xue, who immediately sent someone to check.
Sure enough, an old scar and a cinnabar mole were found on the corpse's arm and neck.
Ji Xuan was slightly panicked, her face gloomy and ugly: "Even if that's the case, what does this have to do with me?"
"Since I came to Liuzhou, I have been staying in my house and have never done anything that is against the will of heaven or earth. I have never even seen your nephew, so how can I say that I have killed someone?"
Ye Changlin said coldly: "But someone at the auction saw Her Royal Highness take Fu'er away with his own eyes."
Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with anger, and she retorted: "That's just your one-sided statement, where is the evidence?"
Prefect Xue's eyes turned slightly, and he whispered, "Your Highness, it is said that the witness Shen Sanniang who saw you died unexpectedly last night."
Ji Xuan was startled when she heard this, then she smiled: "So there is no one to testify?"
There is no witness, and no physical evidence. How can we convict her?
