King Ying ordered another official, and most of the officials kneeling on the ground trembled, fearing that they would be the ones King Ying ordered next.

The named criminal minister imitated the general and did not stand up immediately. Instead, he looked up at the emperor standing in front of young prince Qu.

Zhai Yuan thought to himself that this criminal minister was his new one who had been in office for two years and had nothing to do with the events at that time. "Answer."

With the emperor's advice, the criminal minister immediately replied: "General Zhou was indeed found at the end of March in the third year of Jian'an. It was indeed in Dongyang City that the body was discovered by the people who went up the mountain. After the previous two criminal

Your Excellency has determined that General Zhou’s death should have been caused by a landslide!”

"Okay, I am very satisfied with the answer of the criminal minister." Zhai Xiying turned his head and returned to the general.

Asked: "Has the general seen the body of General Zhou?"

"Yes." How could Xiong Ye forget Zhou Zhou's body, the brother he once worked with?

"Then I'm curious, didn't the general carefully observe the body of General Zhou at that time?" Zhai Xiying knew very well what kind of person Xiong Ye was.

Kumano is a rough man, but being rough does not mean that he is not careful in some aspects.

After years of excavation by Zhai Xiying, Zhai Xiying learned that Xiong Ye had secretly observed Zhou Zhou's bones before the corpses were brought into the palace.

As a general with profound martial arts skills, Xiong Ye should know that there are sword marks on Zhouzhou's corpse!

In the criminal record, there are several scratch marks on Zhou Zhou's body from the claws of wild beasts, but if you think about it carefully, is it so simple?

Kangshan is a mountain that people enter all the year round. Even if there are ferocious beasts in the mountain forest, they are unlikely to attack humans. If a beast kills someone on Kangshan, it will definitely spread to Dongyang City!

The wounds on Zhou Zhou's body were criminally judged as beast wounds, which is an extremely confusing explanation. As a general who also practiced martial arts, General Zhou would always be able to escape even if he couldn't defeat the beast, right?

If he were alive, Zhou Zhou would not have the chance to be hurt by wild beasts, but if he were dead, the wild beasts would not even bother to chew the dead, cold rotten meat!

"General, I have indeed studied the scars on General Zhou's corpse. The weather in mid-March has gradually turned cold, and the corpse's decomposition is very obvious!" Xiong Ye will not hide anything.

Zhai Xiying continued to ask, and Zhai Yuan did not stop him... "Didn't the general recognize that the wounds on General Zhou's body were sword wounds, not scratches?"

"The sword penetrates the bone, the general should understand this truth." Even if the body is struck with internal force, the bones in the flesh will leave traces, proving that the place has been injured.

The sword is sharp, and if it penetrates the body, it will definitely leave scratches on the bones!

"There are indeed a few fatal sword scars!" Xiong Ye did not look at the emperor, otherwise the emperor would definitely be wary of him.

"In that case, why didn't the general report the real cause of General Zhou's death nineteen years ago?"

What's strange about Zhai Xiying is this. With Xiong Ye's temperament, how could he not report the truth to the criminal justice department? What's more, the deceased was a general he knew well!

"This..." Xiong Ye paused and moved his eyes to Qu Lishang.

Zhai Xiying narrowed her eyes. It seems that this matter is related to Qu Lishang, Qu Lishang's father: Qu Xiangbei?

"King Ying, you treated me as nothing in the court and went beyond me to question so many officials. This is extremely treasonous!"
