The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 443 The Inhuman Corpse (Update )
When the cry rang out, Xu Jing and the others were already very close to the Man Yue Tower, and they were basically just around the corner.

Xu Jing's heart suddenly thumped, and she suddenly looked up in the direction of the Full Moon Tower. Sure enough, she saw a large ominous black smoke rising in the sky there.

Her eyes widened slightly, she quickly took steps and ran towards the Full Moon Tower. Song Qingyun and the others were startled and quickly chased after her.

Outside the Man Yue Building, there were already many people gathered around and people running anxiously to help put out the fire. Before Xu Jing could stand firm, a familiar voice came from not far away, "Ms. Xu!"

But it was Governor Zhang who had disappeared for almost a day and a night.

Xu Jing waited for Governor Zhang to run up to her and then asked: "What happened? How is the situation now?"

Governor Zhang's face was even uglier than the terrible smoke, and he said: "The situation is very bad. The room on fire was His Highness Prince Ling's room. Fortunately, the boy named Shuang Rui next to His Highness Prince Ling found it in time and ran out to notify him immediately. other people.

Princess Ling and the others were rescued before the fire got bigger. Apart from being a little frightened, the problem was not too big.

But...His Royal Highness Prince Ling...is gone..."

Xu Jing clasped her hands tightly and said coldly: "What do you mean it's gone? Please tell Governor Zhang clearly!"

Governor Zhang was obviously a little panicked. He gritted his teeth secretly and said, "It's literally gone. His Royal Highness Prince Ling was burned to death! When Shuang Rui came out to call for help, he said that His Royal Highness Prince Ling should have lit the fire on his bed. He was working outside at the time and didn't notice it immediately. It wasn't until he felt smoke drifting over that he realized something was wrong and rushed over, but... but at that time the whole bed... was already engulfed in a sea of ​​fire. Ling His Highness Wang's whole body was on fire...

He panicked and immediately ran out to ask for help. General Han happened to be guarding outside. After listening to Shuang Rui's words, he immediately rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire and desperately fished His Highness Prince Ling out of the sea of ​​​​fire, but it was already too late... …His Royal Highness Prince Ling has been burned to a state of disgrace…

General Han was severely burned as a result and is receiving treatment there. "

As he spoke, he pointed to an alley opposite the Man Yue Tower. Inside, one could vaguely see a man lying on the ground, surrounded by a doctor carrying a medicine box and several soldiers with obviously worried faces.

Xu Jing's face became colder and colder, and she suddenly asked: "Where are those Shuangrui?"

Governor Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if he had not noticed this matter. He was stunned for a while before saying: "That boy... I didn't pay attention to where he went... Maybe he was staying with Princess Ling and the others? Princess Ling saw Ling. The moment His Highness’s body was found, he fainted, and Concubine Fang’s condition was also very bad. I could only temporarily place them in the carriage..."

As he spoke, he pointed to two carriages not far away that looked low-key but very strong and spacious.

Xu Jing just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, and continued: "You just said that it was Shuang Rui who ran out to tell everyone that there was a fire, but the guards outside clearly saw him?!"

Governor Zhang became more and more confused. He didn't understand why Madam Xu was still paying attention to that boy when King Ling was burned to death?

Could it be that she thought that Prince Ling was burned to death by that boy?

It is indeed possible. To be honest, this flashed through his mind the moment he heard what happened. It was just because General Han fell and the scene was in chaos. As the only person who could take charge, he was so busy. I can't think deeply about this issue at all.

The more Governor Zhang thought about it, the heavier his face became. He said, "I was busy directing people to put out the fire just now. I haven't asked about the specific situation. Most of the guards outside His Royal Highness Prince Ling's door are close associates of General Han. Now almost all of them are guarding General Han, let’s go over and ask him immediately.”

With that said, he led Xu Jing and quickly walked towards the opposite alley.

After Xu Jing passed by, she subconsciously glanced at Han Yi lying on the ground, only to see that almost all of his clothes were burned away. His entire upper body and most of his face were burned, red, swollen and congested. The most serious thing was that he Both of his arms were oozing out a large amount of plasma, and they were a mess of flesh and blood. Even a hard-blooded man like General Han couldn't bear the pain. He gritted his teeth with a ferocious look on his face. As the doctor applied the medicine, he would occasionally scream in agony.

Song Qingyun and Chunyang, who had also followed, suddenly looked away unbearably.

Xu Jing took a look and found that the doctor was still treating patients like this in an unhurried manner and applying medicine very skillfully. She knew that this was a reliable doctor and temporarily put her mind back.

At this time, Governor Zhang had already called a soldier who was originally guarding General Han, and said, "I remember that you used to guard outside His Royal Highness Prince Ling's room. When there was a fire, where were you?"

The soldier immediately saluted and said: "As reported to the governor, General Han sent the villain to His Highness Prince Ling from the very beginning. The villain has been following His Highness Prince Ling all the way."

"Well, I just heard a rough idea of ​​what happened when the fire broke out. It is said that the person who came out to report the fire was Shuang Rui, the servant next to His Highness Prince Ling. Did you pay attention to his demeanor at that time?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment and said: "No, it should be said that the villain can't see his expression clearly."

Governor Zhang frowned suddenly and said, "What on earth is going on?"

"When the boy came out to call for help, he had a wet handkerchief covering his face, covering about two-thirds of his face, and only a pair of eyes were exposed."

The soldier recalled for a while and said: "He should have seen His Royal Highness Prince Ling's bed on fire, so he temporarily wet a handkerchief with tea or something and covered his mouth and nose to prevent inhaling too much smoke.

In addition, at that time, we heard that His Highness Prince Ling had fallen into a sea of ​​fire, and we were all so anxious that we didn't even bother to pay attention to the boy's condition. "

Governor Zhang couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and immediately ordered a yamen servant who was following him, saying in a cold voice: "Go and find this young man named Shuang Rui quickly!"

"Yes!"

Xu Jing pursed her lips slightly and suddenly said: "Where is the body of His Highness Prince Ling? I want to see it."

The soldier just now gestured to a stretcher covered with white cloth deep in the alley, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness's body... we have put it over there for the time being."

Xu Jing immediately strode over, and under everyone's surprised gaze, she knelt down and lifted up the white cloth covering it!

Immediately, a corpse that had been burned to the point where there was no trace of a human being appeared in front of Xu Jing. The upper body of this corpse was obviously more severely burned than the lower body. Almost no part of the skin and flesh on the upper body was intact, but The burns on the lower body, especially near the feet, were not very serious, and even a few intact skins could be seen.

The shoes on the deceased's feet were even well worn.

After Governor Zhang came to his senses, he quickly walked to Xu Jing's side. He frowned and said, "Ms. Xu, do you want to examine His Highness Prince Ling's body? However, His Highness Prince Ling's body has been burned like this. How can it still be examined?" What's going on?"

If she really wanted to do an autopsy, she would still be able to find out something even if the body was burned and mummified.

But...the most important thing now is not the autopsy.

Xu Jing stared at the corpse on the ground for a long time before saying word by word: "How do you know that this is the body of His Highness Prince Ling?"
