Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 951

Yun Shang looked the woman up and down, and then turned to look at Qin Yi, who was following her. She felt surprised and said, "If you weren't standing by my side, I wouldn't have been able to tell who is real and who is fake."

Yun Shang then ordered the guards to check the woman's disguise. The guards squatted down and carefully touched the temples around the woman's face. With a slight pause, they suddenly lifted the woman's mask and pulled it off.

The woman's face was exposed to everyone's eyes. Yun Shang turned around to look at the people behind her, only to find that the steward standing on the far left was staring at the woman lying on the ground, and his face suddenly changed.

"Eh?" looking at the woman's face, Qin Yi cried out in surprise.

Yun Shang turned to look at Qin Yi and smiled, "Does Qin Yi recognize her?"

Qin Yi was also confused. She frowned and answered Yun Shang's question, "This woman looks familiar, but I have forgotten where I have met her. I'll think about it carefully."

Yun Shang nodded, "Let's go inside." Then she went through the yard and entered the room. The room was also full of corpses. Yun Shang went down the steps and entered the underground cell. A lot of torches were lit at the interrogation place. Perhaps because a lot of people had just been interrogated yesterday, there were still some condensed blood on many instruments of torture.

Several stewards behind her were trembling, but Yun Shang kept calm and passed through the interrogation area of the long prison. There were still many people locked in the prison, and they were all staring at Yun Shang and the others.

When they walked to the innermost part, Yun Shang saw Li Fuhua's corpse lying on the hay in the prison. There was a bed of cotton on the hay, which should be put in according to Yun Shang's instructions after she left yesterday.

The guard opened the door of the cell, and Yun Shang walked in. She stared at Li Fuhua. Li Fuhua held a dagger in his hand, which looked very ordinary, but from the wound on Li Fuhua's neck, the dagger should be very sharp.

Yun Shang looked at the wound on Li Fuhua's neck and frowned. She noticed the dagger was really too sharp. Li Fuhua didn't know kung fu, but Yun Shang was sure of it. An ordinary man who didn't know kung fu cut his neck without hesitation. Fie was killed by the knife, and all the blood vessels in his neck were cut off.

All these about him didn't make sense.

She was still thinking when she heard Qi Ruihai say, "Fie was killed with one stab."

Yun Shang, who was about to squat down, paused for a moment. Then she looked up at Qi Ruihai and asked, "Master Qi, do you think Lord Li committed suicide for fear of punishment?"

"Yes, your majesty." Qi Ruihai replied softly.

Yun Shang sneered, lowered her body, and reached out to lift Li Fuhua's hand. Flis hand was very rough with many calluses. Fie must have been used to doing heavy work, but the position of the calluses was a little strange, which was a little different from what Yun Shang thought. The calluses on his fingers were relatively small, mainly accumulated in the middle of the joint on the right side of his index finger. There were many calluses in the palm of his hand, but they went through the palm from the point between his thumb and forefinger to the left and bottom of the palm.

He was killed with one stab without any hesitation. He must have been good at using staggers and had no concern in his heart. The people who were good at using knives were no more than those severl types of people. According to the callus on the man's hand, the one who died should be a cook.

Yun Shang looked up at Qi Ruihai with a touch of coldness in her eyes. "I heard that you and Lord Li are very familiar with each other, but I didn't expect that Lord Qi couldn't recognize him at the moment. If Lord Li knew this, he would be very sad."

Yun Shang raised her voice, "Guards, take off his mask."

The guard bowed and took off the man's human skin mask. Linder the mask, it was a middle-aged man who looked less than thirty or forty years old.

Yun Shang sneered, stood straight, turned around, and glanced at the crowd slowly, "Li Fuhua, has run away."

The several stewards standing behind didn't look good. They stood still. Yun Shang kept silent for a moment and then said, "Go and gather the imperial guards to watcht the Neishi Bureau. Send someone to the Taiji Palace to report this to the his majesty. Master Qi has a good relationship with Li Fuhua, so it's not appropriate for him to get involved in this matter. Tell his majesty to send Li Qianmo from the Ministry of Justice here to investigate it."

The guard obeyed and left in a hurry. Yun Shang paused for a moment, and then stood up as if nothing had happened. "Let's go back to the Weiyang Palace. We invited everyone here today to discuss about the banquet, but we didn't expect to be disturbed by such a messy thing. I'll leave the case of Li Fuhua to the people of the Ministry of Justice to investigate. Let's go back to the Weiyang Palace and talk about the banquet."

Yun Shang smiled, turned around and walked out of the cell in the Neishi Bureau.

Everyone looked at each other and saw a little fear in their eyes. They didn't dare to neglect her anymore and hurried to follow her.

When they returned to the Weiyang Palace, Yun Shang just sat down on the host seat. Suddenly, Qin Yi screamed and turned to Yun Shang, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remember that I have seen the woman before who disguised herself as me in the Neishi Bureau."

"Oh?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and looked at Qin Yi. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw one of the stewards tremble violently. Then she smiled and said, "Where have you seen her?"
