Chapter 67 A terrible conjecture
Xu Yue has been disguising herself as a man since she was young, and has been performing autopsies alongside coroners.

The position of coroner is hereditary, and every generation there must be someone in the family who becomes a coroner for the court.

Xu Yue's eldest brother has always been very timid. He is afraid of corpses and is unwilling to perform an autopsy.

Xu Yue, who had been naughty and fearless since childhood, had a strong interest and talent in autopsies.

The coroner asked Xu Yue to stay by his side, dressed as a man.

Xu Yue's eldest brother runs a coffin shop. He originally wanted to sell food, but when people heard that his family was a coroner, no one was willing to buy food from his shop.

I can only sell paper money, candles, coffins and the like.

On the contrary, business is pretty good.

They got married early.

He always felt guilty for letting his sister pretend to be a boy and work as a coroner, and always wanted to give birth to a boy to replace Xu Yue, but he gave birth to five children in one go, all of them were girls.

"Young Madam is really capable. All of us didn't realize that Xu Chunhua wasn't her real self, but she found out as soon as she arrived."

Xu Yue felt a little admiration, after all, Xu Chunhua's body was examined by her father himself.

She also looked at it in detail.

She had noticed scars on Xu Chunhua's face, but she thought they were caused by being beaten.

I didn't expect that Xu Chunhua had been replaced by someone else.

"I grew up with my sister. Her hands have never done heavy work. Their hands are as white as jade, so they can be recognized at a glance." Xu Qiuyue explained to Xu Yue.

"I see!"

Xu Yue suddenly understood.

It turned out that this was the problem. She had taken it for granted. She thought that since Xu Chunhua was from a peasant family, she must have done farm work.

No wonder Xu Qiuyue dared to touch Xu Chunhua's face to confirm its authenticity.

Because Xu Qiuyue had already discovered that it was fake.

Naturally, you won’t be afraid anymore.

"I heard from my husband that it is said that the Luosha Sect has a secret technique of changing faces, which is said to help people change their fate. For example, if you hide in the identity of a noble person in advance, know the noble person's life and past, imitate the noble person's behavior, and then put on the noble person's face, even a vicious person can live a life respected by thousands of people.

Although no one knows whether this secret technique is true or false, there are too many people who want to change their fate. No one knows who this dead girl is. She hopes that the government can help her find her real face so that when she is buried, her real name can be written on the tombstone.

No matter what, she died for my sister. I'll have to trouble you to keep the twenty taels of silver for me!

Regardless of whether her true identity can be found out or not, I hope someone can help her bury her.

If there is any left, it will be considered as my hard work reward."

"Young Madam is really kindhearted. Don't worry, I will definitely help her choose a good Feng Shui site."

Xu Yue did not refuse.

Her family was not well off, so twenty taels of silver was not a small amount of money.

What's more, even if we find out the girl's true identity.

The girl was still young and died in vain. I'm afraid her family may not be willing to pay for her burial.

She would not take the extra money. She would burn more paper money for the girl so that she could be reborn into a better family in the next life.

Moreover, Xu Qiuyue’s words shocked Xu Yue too much.

She grew up in Taohua Town.

I have never encountered such a major case.

But she has read many files of the Sheng Dynasty.

The Rakshasa Cult does have a secret technique of face-changing, and it was successful. It is said that they replaced the face of a general's only daughter, who lied that she had lost her memory and remembered nothing.

But her temperament changed drastically. The general's only daughter was kind by nature, but this woman was very vicious and acted differently from the general's only daughter.

She also killed the maid and nanny who had served her since she was a child.

Because only the face was changed, the body was different, but the maids who served her closely recognized her.

The general made one mistake after another for his only daughter. When he was finally imprisoned, he allowed his confidant to escape with his daughter, and he himself was willing to accept the punishment.

But the truth was eventually discovered by the Dali Temple.

It was precisely because of this incident that the imperial court made up its mind to wipe out the Rakshasa sect. Otherwise, given the fame of the Rakshasa sect's inner elixir, the imperial court would not have made up its mind to wipe out the Rakshasa sect.

After all, it is an elixir of immortality that is as famous as the Blood Witch's Immortal Fountain.

Those big shots are even more afraid of having their faces replaced.

After all, those big shots don't need to defy fate.

They feel that everything they have is the result of their own hard work, that they have the ability to get what they want, and that they don’t want to change their faces.

Xu Yue thought of a lot of things in an instant.

This was no ordinary big case, it was bigger than she thought.

Although the one who died was just an ordinary maid.

But her age is about the same as Princess Nanyang.

Xu Qiuyue thought that someone might be practicing the secret art of face-changing.

But she thought a lot.

Xu Chunhua's size and age, as well as the age of the dead girl, are similar to those of Princess Nanyang.

The murderer's target was Princess Nanyang.

It would be normal to stage an assassination and say that the princess was frightened, lost her mind, and forgot some things.

This is a princess of a country.

If the replacement is successful.

It will be easy to replace him with someone else at that time, such as the prince.

The more Xu Yue thought about it, the more terrifying it became.

Xu Yue didn't even know when Xu Qiuyue left.

Wait until Xu the coroner comes back.

Xu Yue immediately told Coroner Xu her guess.

Xu Yue's idea was only guessed after being pointed out by Xu Qiuyue.

But Xu Yue didn't want to cause trouble for Xu Qiuyue, so she didn't tell anyone about it.

She also didn't want the people behind the scenes to notice Xu Qiuyue, as it would be bad if Xu Qiuyue was implicated.

The coroner also thought of the key to the matter at this time.

He also felt that Xu Yue's guess made sense, so he took Xu Yue to see Lu's father to explain the seriousness of the matter.

·············
According to Xu Qiuyue's memory of her previous life, no important figures died in Taohua Town in her previous life.

Those who disappeared were all innocent girls.

But ordinary people’s lives are also lives.

If this matter is not exaggerated.

How could those nobles make up their minds to investigate the case seriously?

What's more, Lu Yuan was nice to Xu Qiuyue and was also her nominal husband. He was framed for no reason.

Xu Qiuyue also wanted to vent Lu Yuan's anger and scare the Princess Nanyang who had targeted her in her previous life.

If there was no murderer, she would create one.

Xu Qiuyue lived a long life in her previous life, and due to her noble status, she had read quite a few miscellaneous books.

I have also seen the unique skills of the Rakshasa sect.

Although I haven't practiced it, it's not a problem for me to imitate a little.

The most important thing is that Xu Qiuyue has now achieved some success in her magical skills, and she also wants to see how strong she is.

Xu Qiuyue said to Xingzhu, "My husband was framed. It's not Xu Chunhua who died now. He still has the title of scholar. There's no reason to keep him in prison. Go find some witnesses and evidences quickly so that you can submit the complaint tomorrow. Let my husband suffer less and get out soon. Chunzhu and Hongling are at your disposal. I want to see useful witness testimony before dawn tomorrow."

Here are fifty taels of silver. Take it and handle this matter well."
