Lord Zhuang clasped his hands, "Yes, Lord Prime Minister."

The officials sitting on both sides of the table put down their glasses and got up from their chairs. They then followed the prime minister to Xiu-Er's room.

When the prime minister and the officials arrived at the entrance of the servants' room, Ling Feng was standing there with an icy expression, guarding the scene and not allowing anyone to enter.

Only when the prime minister and the marshal arrived at the room's door did Ling Feng move his body away, allowing the marshal and the marshal to enter the room. He followed the two of them into the room.

After Master Zhuang entered the room and looked above his head, he saw a woman in white, with her hair hanging loose in the air, "Lingfeng, carefully carry the corpse down and put it on the bed. I want to examine it here!"

Ling Feng and a few servants came forward and carefully carried the corpse off the rope and laid it on the bed.

Lord Zhuang took out clean gloves from his chest pocket and put them on. He rolled up his sleeves and walked to the front of the bed. With a grave and respectful expression, he looked at the corpse and said, "Lady, please excuse me."

"Ling Feng, record down all that this official has said." Lord Zhuang turned his head and ordered Ling Feng.

"Yes, milord." Ling Feng respectfully accepted the order.

The Prime Minister, who was standing at the side, ordered the maidservants standing behind him, "Get a brush and ink."

The young maid left the room with a brisk jog. Not long after, she brought the brush and ink over. Ling Feng took the brush and ink and sat down at the table.

As Master Zhuang examined Xiu-Er's body, he described what he saw to Ling Feng, "The dead, Xiu-Er, sixteen years old. The hair of the dead was messy, her face was blue, her face was purple, and her eyes were bleeding. There were two bruises on the dead man's neck, one resembling finger marks, the other marks of rope straining. From this, it could be concluded that the victim had been strangled and then hung from the beam of the house. It was he who had killed him, not committed suicide. The faces and limbs of the dead have turned cold, and spots and stiff bodies have begun to appear. The time of death was about two hours ago, which is the Hai time. "

After that, Master Zhuang carefully examined Xiu-Er's arms and palms. He found some things in Xiu-Er's fingernails. He took them out carefully, "The nails of the deceased had a small amount of skin, which should have scratched them during the struggle. And a little red thing, what is it? "

Finally, Master Zhuang took off Xiu-Er's pants and separated her legs, "The lower part of the victim's body was not damaged." After a pause, he continued, "But she is not a virgin."

Ling Feng carefully recorded what Lord Zhuang had just said on a piece of paper. When he heard that the young maid was not a virgin, he paused for a moment.

"Wear Xiu-Er's clothes." After the autopsy, Lord Zhuang ordered a young maid to stand by the side.

Although the maids were afraid, they had no choice but to obey Lord Zhuang's orders. Trembling, they walked to the bed to help Xiu-Er put on her underwear. The other two maidservants prepared a basin of clean water for Lord Zhuang.

As soon as Lord Zhuang finished talking, the Prime Minister and the others who were standing in the room were shocked, especially the Prime Minister. He looked at the stiff body of Xiu-Er lying on the bed. There was actually a murder in his house, and on the day of his birthday, almost all the civil and military officials were in his house.

He looked at Master Zhuang with a cold face, "Master Zhuang, you have to find Xiu-Er's killer for me." He definitely wouldn't allow the culprit who killed the people from the Prime Minister's Hall to get away scot-free!

"Don't worry, young master. If you find out that the culprit was this official's accusation, this official will do everything in his power to find the culprit." Mr. Zhuang said confidently to the Prime Minister.

The prime minister looked at Sir Zhuang with great trust, "Then I shall leave this place to you."

"This official accepts the order." Lord Zhuang then looked at the crowd at the door and asked coldly, "Who was the first to find the body?"

The two servants pushed the maid down in front of Lord Zhuang. The maid didn't even dare to look at Xiu-Er who was lying on the bed. She knew that she was still scared, so she answered timidly, "My … My lord, it … My servant found Xiu-Er's body first."

"What's your relationship with the deceased?"

"I am your servant and Xiu-Er's maid. We are from the same village. That is why we are on good terms with each other."

"Tell me how you found the body." Lord Zhuang looked at the young maid with a serious expression.
