"Father, don't worry. Although my skills are not as good as those of my third brother, I can still handle a few government servants. What's more, I have some knowledge of pharmacology, so I may be able to spot some problems."

After hearing what Lu Zhiyan said, Lu Jingyuan did not continue to refuse. The most important thing now was to find a way

"Then you two should be more careful when moving together."

"The minister didn't struggle when he died. It seems that even if he was poisoned, it was done without him noticing."

Lu Wushuang carefully recalled the situation he had just seen. The minister should be a martial arts practitioner. Let alone a sneak attack, even if he really put some medicine in his diet, he should be on guard.

"Are there any other clues?"

Lu Zhiyan always felt that things were a bit strange, "All the clues point to the prince so unanimously, someone must have arranged all this behind the scenes."

"No more. All the letters and evidence have been received in the Yamen. There are special personnel watching. I can't enter that place."

Furthermore, since the mastermind behind the scenes dared to put the evidence there, he must be absolutely sure.

"This is troublesome. The Minister of Civil Affairs is dead. Even if we want to check his handwriting, we have to have his previous handwriting for comparison, right?"

[It’s easy to find the handwriting I wrote before. After all, he was an official. He must have his notes in his study. Why don’t you take them back and study them? 】

Lu Youyou provided them with a new idea. Before this, they had never thought of tampering with it.

"Then I'll take another look tonight."

Of course, they didn't need to worry about Lu Wushuang's skills, and Lu Zhiyan consciously wasn't going to join in the fun.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Lu Wushuang walked out of the room while rubbing his eyes.

"I compared his previous documents, and there is no difference in handwriting. It seems that we made a mistake."

As soon as Lu Wushuang got the evidence, he hurried back to find the document written by the former Minister of Civil Affairs. He compared his eldest brother's and his own, and then confirmed that it was the handwriting of the Minister of Civil Affairs.

"Have you checked everything carefully?" Lu Jingyuan picked up the crumpled paper still lying on the table by Lu Wushuang, "Where did you find it?"

"I was afraid that someone had deliberately done what was written on the page, so I found a few pieces of paper from the discarded paper, compared each piece, and also took a few pieces from the table."

Lu Wushuang pointed to the other pile he put aside, "All the notes are the same. Now I'm afraid we can only start with the prince's handwriting. The imitation will not be exactly the same, but we can't see it now... "

"wrong."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Jingyuan interrupted him.

"The handwriting is correct, but these words are definitely not written by the same person."

"Well, it's definitely different."

Lu Jingyuan didn't understand these calligraphy, so Lu Shengqing also came over to take a look and saw what he meant at a glance. It was indeed not the handwriting of the same person.

"This word, and here, the order of writing is different. A person's writing habits will not change. If you look carefully, you can tell that these are indeed not the handwriting of the same person."

Lu Jingyuan turned the paper over and saw something was wrong as expected, "I just remembered that this Minister of Civil Affairs was a military general before, and his right hand was injured. It was impossible for him to write so steadily. Moreover, in the middle of the words written on the waste paper There are ink spots, but there are no these on the table, it should be someone imitating the handwriting."

"If the investigating officials didn't even notice the scraps of paper put aside and just made a casual comparison, wouldn't it be a sure thing?"

Lu Jingyuan felt that the person behind him was controlling the whole thing. He seemed to have arranged every step very tightly, but there were some omissions in every step. Fortunately, they discovered it. Lu Wushuang also reacted, "This is our chance. It seems that we still have to take a look at the body of the minister to see if there are any new discoveries."

Afraid of long nights and many dreams, and fear that the body might be tampered with, they had no choice but to go to Yizhuang again that night.

Although Lu Zhiyan's skills were not as good as Lu Wushuang's, he was still able to dodge a few guards.

"If others see our two young masters from the General's Mansion arriving at Yizhuang in the middle of the night, will they think that we two have special hobbies?"

Lu Wushuang carefully lit a small fire. Seeing that the guards were not so strict today, they were much more courageous.

"Stop talking, you still have to be careful, let's hurry up."

Although the weather is cold, if no measures are taken, the body will not be preserved for long. It has only been a few days and it has already begun to turn pale.

"Sure enough, there is an injury on the right hand."

Lu Wushuang checked the external injuries on the body again. This time there was light, and he made a new discovery.

"What kind of wound is this?"

The wound had festered, but it could still be seen that it was a wound from the inside out. It looked a bit strange, and Lu Wushuang was startled.

Lu Zhiyan quickly covered Lu Wushuang's mouth, "Keep your voice down, do you want to call everyone over?"

"Uh huh huh..."

Lu Wushuang winked desperately to indicate that he would not talk nonsense, while pointing to the wounds on the body.

Only then did Lu Zhiyan notice it and quickly moved closer to the fire source so he could see clearly.

"Look, there's something wrong with this wound."

After looking at it carefully for a long time, Lu Zhiyan nodded, "There is indeed a problem. The wound is from the inside out. If I guessed correctly, this should be the poisonous insects coming out of the host after its death. The wound below."

Even if a skilled coroner is really called in, as long as he has never seen such a wound, he probably won't be able to see the problem.

Lu Zhiyan had seen such wounds when he was doing business with people in southern Xinjiang in the early years, but the people he came into contact with at that time were relatively kind, and most of them used voodoo insects to treat diseases.

It was at that time that he had seen this kind of wound.

"You mean, this person actually died from poison?"

The capital is at least a thousand miles away from Southern Xinjiang, and the only one who can come into contact with people from Southern Xinjiang is Sheng Jingxuan.

Lu Zhiyan did not continue. He knew that Lu Wushuang had the same idea as him, and it seemed that the mastermind behind the scenes was ready to be revealed.

"This wound can explain a lot of problems. As long as we have this evidence, we can at least pin the prince's grievances."

The two of them couldn't stay here longer for fear of being discovered, so they had to quickly pack up and leave.

As for Sheng Jingxuan, after he came back from Southern Xinjiang, he specially introduced a Gu master from Southern Xinjiang to the emperor, saying that he could make pills to prolong life, but the emperor was always dubious.

Looking at this capital, he is the only one who can control these officials with Gu insects.
