Chapter One, Arriving in the Capital (3).

This little girl who can be arranged by Jingyi may also be someone who has seen the world.

Thank you, two honorable individuals!

Are you...Chuchu?

The old coroner sighed silently. Before they performed the autopsy, they would always use soapnut and patchouli to remove the stench from the corpse. When the smell was too strong, even the experienced coroners would have to chew on slices of scallion and ginger. During the examination of this body, because the smell was particularly strong, they even lit incense. Despite stirring it several times, no one could detect the musky scent hidden within the foul odor of the corpse.

The old man quickly got up, limped down the steps, grabbed Chu Chu by the collar with a black face, and shouted at the sedan, "This wild girl doesn't know any better, please forgive me, Your Highness, please forgive me..."

Even the female constable who speaks boldly and bluntly while rolling in the pile of dead bodies in the capital may not be able to handle this and say such words...

Chuchu carefully covered the corpse with the thick cloth, then quickly collected the cloth, gloves, and took her wooden sign. She carried the floral bundle on her back and ran to the back door of the morgue. She scooped a ladle of vinegar from the wooden barrel next to the door and poured it into the charcoal brazier outside the threshold. Taking advantage of the rising smoke, she hopped over, then hopped back, and hopped over again before running away.

The chin hasn't been retracted yet, and then I saw Chu Chu's little mouth curling, clear and crisp, "It's so rotten and still holding it up, I don't know how much medicine he took before he died, pretending to be dead!"

Long live the Emperor!

Chuchu knelt solemnly in the middle of the road, facing the sedan chair of Prince An, with two great generals from the Prince An's mansion holding lanterns on horseback, glaring at him with black lines on their faces.

They are currently conducting an examination in the autopsy room.

Those that are obviously external injuries are not in vital areas. The severe blows were added after death. It's the musky smell that's surprising. What kind of medicine with so much musk can even be used by such a strong and robust man? It hasn't dissipated even after all this time!

Wu Jiang immediately frowned and said, "My lord, Mr. Ye has repeatedly instructed that you absolutely cannot..."

It's not that they look down on this girl, it's just that the corpse chosen...

These people disappeared before my eyes, and the old man was still in a state of confusion. But with just one sentence, Chu Chu brought his soul back.

There was no movement inside the sedan chair. The bearers lifted the sedan chair directly onto the steps and carried it into the gate of the Ministry of Justice, while the two riders on horseback went around to the back door.

As soon as Chu Chu entered the room, she saw a tightly wrapped corpse lying in the middle of the floor, next to which stood an old coroner.

The scribe felt a churn in his stomach.

As usual, all the injuries on the corpse must be reported and recorded, but looking at the bag of stuff she has, who knows what it will turn out to be if she insists on examining it!

My lord, after inquiring thoroughly, that young lady is called Chu Chu. She is seventeen years old this year and came to take the examination for funeral rites from Chushui Town, Zizhu County, Suzhou.

Wu Jiang shook his head, "No, not really. I heard that there are about sixteen or seventeen people taking the exam in the capital, and nearly ten people from the outskirts of the capital, but she's the only one from out of town. I heard... Wu Jiang hesitated slightly, "I heard that this girl was instructed by Lord Jing."

The old housekeeper remained silent for a moment. Chu Chu thought that what she had just said was not enough, and added, "These wealthy families always love to waste good things, for no reason..."

Xiao Jinyu put down the teacup and picked up the letter, flipping through it casually.

The old martial artist quickly interrupted her words with a few dry coughs, snatched the wooden plaque with the word "1" written on it from the dumbfounded scribe's hand, and said, "That's settled... You go out from the back and go to the adjacent side hall to test your injuries."

So reckless, this little girl, but her handwriting is clean and elegant.

Xiao Jinyu furrowed her brows lightly, "Just recruit two morticians to fill the vacancies. How did the official list end up being sent to Suzhou?"

You can ignore not picking herbs and not burning incense, but at least make a sound!

After Jingyi left yesterday, he was busy all night at Sansige, without time to deal with the injuries on his face, so his usually calm face looks particularly lively today.

The old man held his aching waist, with his heart still pounding, and walked towards the gate. Just as he was about to lift his foot to step inside, he suddenly heard a voice even clearer and brighter than before.

Watching her carefully remove the smell of vinegar, the two people in the room looked at each other in surprise.

The scribe saw that the one who responded was a half-sized girl, and he was stunned for a moment.

The scribe busily wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and recorded Chu Chu's words.

Let them put the documents on the table as soon as they are delivered.

This old face has been completely lost today...

The old man didn't have time to think carefully, so he rushed out. When he hurriedly stepped over the threshold, he stumbled and fell to the ground. Without time to get up, he knelt directly on the ground and shouted loudly, "Long live the Emperor! Long live, long live!"

Chuchu thinks that the Sixianmen is just the Sixianmen. Taking the exam to become a coroner is more troublesome than other places. You have to fill out a very long form just to enter the door.

Wu Jiang nodded and took out a few pages of paper from his body, respectfully presenting them to Xiao Jinyu, saying, "These are the examination forms she just filled out at the gatehouse. Please review them, Your Highness."

Today, the case to be tried by the Ministry of Justice is said to involve members of the royal family. Prince An himself will personally appear, and it is not impossible for the Emperor to come and supervise the trial.

Moreover, he has been working as a clerk in the Ministry of Justice for almost a year. He has never seen any coroner who did not first use soapberry and mugwort to disinfect before conducting an autopsy!

The young scribe hurriedly grabbed a piece of ginger and tried to stuff it into his mouth, but before he could do so, he turned around and vomited all over the floor, causing the old supervisor's face to darken.

Waiting for Chuchu to help Tianqi fill out the exam form, while listening to his scattered talk about the things in Beijing, and rushing to the west morgue, there was already a line of people standing at the base of the wall. The clerks of the Ministry of Justice were shouting "Number One Chuchu" throughout the courtyard.

Isn't that the emperor?

Xiao Jinyu nodded gently and handed the paper back to Wu Jiang, "Has the exam already started?"

Xiao Jinyu calmly interrupted Wu Jiang's words, "I know."

This time, the scribe also turned his head and widened his eyes to look at her, even the convulsions in his stomach stopped.

Golden top sedan lotus lantern, tall head big horse driving together, Mr. Dong said so... You also shouted long live the emperor, and even shouted long live ten thousand years!

She was originally the first to arrive and finish filling out the form, but just as she finished filling it out, a fifty-something old man approached with pen and paper, saying that he didn't know many characters and asked her to help him fill it out.

Chuchu is willing to help others since childhood, but few people are willing to ask her for help. When the old man asked for her help, she readily agreed.

His gaze fell on a line of words, and Xiao Jinyu frowned again. "You are familiar with Suzhou, but have you heard of the Chu family, a prominent official family in Zizhu County?"

The old guard saw that it was a young girl who came in, and after a moment of stunned silence, he exchanged a silent glance with the scribe.

What is that fragrance coming from? It even smells like musk...

Xiao Jinyu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Jing Yi?"

After kneeling for a while without hearing any voices, the old man gathered up his courage and raised his head slightly to take a glance below the steps. He almost fainted on the spot.

He hasn't finished vomiting the breakfast yet, and Chu Chu's clear and steady voice has already come through.

Here I come! Here I come!

I know.

Personnel over there are mixed, let me accompany you.

This corpse was carefully selected by several old morticians from the Ministry of Justice among the many unidentified corpses in the morgue. In order to ensure fairness, the scribe only saw the corpse list of this corpse when he arrived at the Ministry of Justice early in the morning. No one can imagine such a smell just from the two words "foul odor".

Old man Tianqi, a suburbanite, has spent most of his life working in many government offices as a coroner, participating in the trial of many major cases. The number of corpses examined by her father and brother combined probably doesn't even compare to a fraction of what others have done. Chu Chu, while writing on paper for him, admires him with shining eyes, calling him "Uncle Seven" repeatedly.

After saying this, Chu Chu's eyes fell directly on the lower body of the male corpse. The old coroner watched as this half-grown girl reached out and pinched it, calmly rubbing it up and down several times, making his jaw drop in shock.

Chuchu couldn't understand what was so good about asking this, but she felt that since it was the examination of the Six Doors, maybe someone deliberately tested her.

They hadn't finished making eye contact yet, but Chu Chu had already squatted down and opened the small floral bundle, revealing a bag filled with various peculiar-shaped tools.

Lord Jing is not in the autopsy room at the moment.

I really thought this little girl liked that taste...

You can tell that it's the emperor by the way he holds the book.

There's no need. I'll just have a few words with Lord Jing.

Chuchu handed the wooden plaque with the word "1" written on it to the scribe, saying, "Yes, Chuchu is charming."

Wu Jiang doesn't know how others are reacting, but he is almost suffocating from internal injuries at the moment.

The skin and hair are starting to peel off, the lips are turned outward, the eyes are protruding, and there are a few maggots going in and out... It should have been dead for almost three months.

The attention of the old gravedigger and the scribe was just drawn to those tools, and Chu Chu put on a pair of white cloth gloves and "brushed" off the cloth on the corpse in one go.

As soon as she mentioned dissecting the body, especially the male genital area, the old coroner's neck suddenly felt hot, and he quickly cleared his throat and said, "There is indeed no mistake... It's just that there are several obvious external injuries on the corpse. How did you immediately find them?"

When Wu Jiang entered the door, Xiao Jinyu was sitting in the room holding the cup of tea that had just been brewed with hot water, and the leaves had not fully opened yet, waiting for the clerks of the Ministry of Punishments to bring over the relevant documents for the case to be tried later.

Wu Jiang shook his head again and said, "Zizhu County is a remote and small county, without any prominent official families. However, there have been quite a few criminal cases reported in recent years."

Looking at the expressions of these two people, Chu Chu became anxious and reached into the bag, picking up something that looked like a small knife. "I guarantee it's correct! If you don't believe me, I can cut open this place and show you!"

Madam, please keep quiet!

The deceased was a man in his thirties. His body was decayed and emitted a strong odor mixed with a trace of musk. It is suspected that he had taken medicine containing musk during his lifetime.

When several old forensic experts were examining the body, they all checked the front side first before noticing that particular area. This girl...

Then came the sound of a sedan chair landing with the sound of horse hooves.
