Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Wang Youfu agreed!

He nodded heavily.

There was no reason for him to refuse the two hundred taels of silver! He had to earn this money. Even if the shit was unpalatable and the money was hard to earn, at least he didn't have to worry about Chen Yucheng refusing to pay.

Chen Yucheng was trustworthy and promised to pay him two hundred taels of silver. He would pay him every penny after the work was done. In this way, he could not only live a prosperous life, but also buy a few rooms and some furniture in his current place. He could also buy a few new clothes for his family and settle down completely.

He licked his dry lips and said, "Sir, if you need help, how much silver can be withdrawn from the public account?"

"Fifty taels, no more." Chen Guanlou gestured with his fingers.

Wang Youfu thought about who he could hire for fifty taels of silver, and went through several names in his mind. "Can I withdraw fifty taels first?"

"Sure! If you want to ask for help, I won't stop you. But let me make it clear in advance, if anything goes wrong, you will be fully responsible."

"Don't worry, sir. The helpers I want to help are brave and ruthless. They will do the job of lingchi corpse cleanly and neatly, and will not bring shame to the Tianlao, nor to you, sir."

"That's great! On the first day of the execution, not only will people from the palace watch the execution, but all officials from the Ministry of Justice will come to watch the execution! Including the Minister. You should be clear about the interests involved. This job can be done roughly, but you must be bold, careful, and quick, so as not to make the spectators dissatisfied. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I'll go find someone right away!"

"Go ahead!"

The hardest part is solved. What remains is nausea, and still nausea.

Thinking of the upcoming scene, Chen Guanlou poured himself two cups of tea, but still couldn't suppress the nausea in his stomach! He felt so uncomfortable before it even started. When the day of the formal execution came, he couldn't imagine that he would vomit like a fool.

Those disgusting people in the palace are really talented. They can come up with such disgusting means to please the emperor. I don’t know if King Cheng’s coffin can be covered. Will King Cheng’s family go crazy after learning about this? Will the people in the northwest cry out for King Cheng!

Within two days, King Cheng's body was delivered to the capital.

With the addition of ice in winter, the body is preserved perfectly as if it were alive.

Chen Guanlou had met King Cheng once, but who could have thought that when they met again, they would be separated by death.

He muttered, "A few years have passed, and I've become thinner and darker. Old Mu, come and see how King Cheng died."

In front of the escorting yamen runners, he called in Doctor Mu to perform an autopsy. The key was to verify the identity of the body. Don't let someone suddenly jump out and say that the body is not King Cheng. That would be a big deal!

Therefore, before receiving the body, every procedure must be strictly followed and not be sloppy. For this reason, he also specially applied to the Ministry of Justice to find someone who had seen King Cheng in person to testify.

The person that the Ministry of Justice had brought was a servant from Prince Cheng's mansion! In order to survive, this guy naturally cooperated with them.

"Yes, yes, this is His Royal Highness King Cheng!"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Let me ask you, are there any obvious characteristics on King Cheng's body?"

"I remember that there is a mole the size of a grain of rice on the sole of your left foot, right next to your big toe. Also, your Highness was injured while hunting, and there must be a scar on your right leg."

As the servant spoke, the jailer checked and found that everything matched. Mu Qingshan wrote down the autopsy process and the characteristics of the body.

"Anything else?"

"The waist! Your Highness's waist. He was injured years ago and left a wound. There must be a scar after healing. It's at this location." The servant pointed to the kidney.

"King Cheng didn't have to go to the battlefield himself, so why did he get injured in the waist?" Chen Guanlou had to ask these details clearly for later inspection.

"It was a concubine in the backyard who injured me. I don't know the details because I can't enter the backyard. The concubine was executed the next day, and her family also suffered."

"What else?"

"Your Highness has a mole behind his right ear! There is also a scar on the back of his head from childhood."

"That's all, nothing more?"

“No more!”

Chen Guanlou looked at Doctor Mu and asked.

Doctor Mu nodded, "They all match! Looking at the scars, they are all old injuries. The skin is also real, there is no fake. As for the cause of death..." Doctor Mu secretly took a breath of cold air. He walked up to Chen Guanlou and whispered, "It seems to be poisoning! Should I write this down?"

"Write it down!" Chen Guanlou said firmly, "The person didn't die in our prison, so why should you be afraid? Write down everything. Don't be careless, just in case."

The real purpose is to not give anyone a chance to find fault. Even if you want to find fault, don't come to the Tianlao.

"It is said that success leads to failure. Poisoning is the cause of death. Could it be..."

"Are you worried about affecting the reputation of the court, or affecting the Marquis of Pingjiang? Or causing His Majesty's displeasure? What are you afraid of! Do you think the palace doesn't know the real cause of King Cheng's death? Do you think that when the news of the defeat came, the Marquis of Pingjiang didn't report the real cause of King Cheng's death? Those who should know have already known it. We are just doing a routine and recording it truthfully."

"I have observed that the poison in King Cheng's body was not formed overnight, but over many years. I am afraid there is something to this matter."

"No matter what he says, we didn't poison the person, and we didn't kill him. We have a clear conscience. If anyone is held accountable, it's not our turn to take the blame."

Chen Guanlou was very ruthless, mainly because he knew clearly that King Cheng was poisoned and the poison had already penetrated deep into his bones and there was no hope for him to be saved. He was able to hold on until now only because of the doctor's superb medical skills and his own willpower. Poisoning was also the main reason why King Cheng finally made up his mind to rebel!

However, these inside stories are not known to outsiders.

Seeing his firm attitude, Doctor Mu signaled Mu Qingshan to record everything truthfully.

After identifying the body, Chen Guanlou personally signed and received the body.

The body is kept in the morgue.

Tomorrow we will see the execution, Lingchi!

The jailers were setting up the venue and temporarily built a high platform in the yard of the morgue for people to watch the execution. Wang Youfu, with helpers from outside, checked the body under the supervision of the jailers, felt the feel of the body, and discussed how to cut, where to cut, and how many cuts to make on the first day.

Three thousand dollars, definitely the most important first day.

Officials and people in the palace would only watch the execution on the first day and would definitely not be present on the following two days.

Therefore, as long as you can successfully complete the first day's task, it means you have completed most of it, and you will get the money smoothly.

However, they soon received bad news.

"In order to ensure that King Cheng's body was cut into pieces, the palace sent people to watch the execution for three consecutive days. Not only did they watch the execution, they also counted the number of cuts themselves to ensure that not a single one of the three thousand cuts was missing!"
