Chapter 779 Su Wuming 78

"You..." Changshi was speechless for a moment, and his finger pointing at Su Wuming was trembling.

Chu Huan followed Su Wuming in stealth because she was worried about him. As a result, she had a disagreement with the governor and the chief secretary.

She rolled her eyes, and came up with a plan. She leaned close to Su Wuming's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Su Wuming, why should we waste our breath on them? Can't we just do a secret autopsy at night? It will be done without anyone noticing, and it will save us a lot of trouble."

Su Wuming was stunned for a moment and looked around subconsciously. He didn't see anyone, so he realized it was Huan'er and felt relieved.

"Huan'er, you must not do this! As an official appointed by the imperial court, how can you break the law knowingly? If you are discovered, wouldn't you be giving them an advantage?" Su Wuming muttered softly.

Chu Hua curled her lips: "Pedantic! Really pedantic!"

Su Wuming had sharp ears and heard Chu Hua's muttering, and sighed helplessly. He knew Chu Hua's personality very well, she was eccentric and did not play by the rules. But as an official appointed by the court, he had to set an example and uphold the dignity of the law.

"Sima Su, what are you talking about there alone?" The Chief Secretary stared at Su Wuming suspiciously, as if he was looking at a lunatic.

Su Wuming then realized his misstep and coughed twice in embarrassment: "I was just thinking about the case."

He secretly glared at Chu Huan. It was all this girl's fault. She almost got him exposed.

Chu Huan stuck out her tongue at him and made a face.

Governor Xiong was in a dilemma. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously, "Sir Su, is there any other way? Opening the coffin and performing an autopsy is really..."

Chu Huan shook her head and decided that she had to do it. She went out in stealth, then pretended to go to the door of the governor's mansion and asked someone to pass the message.

"Governor, Miss Chu Hua from the Sima Mansion has arrived. She said she has something to discuss with you."

The governor is almost collapsed, which makes it very difficult for us. I didn't expect that girl to come too. I heard that this girl is not easy to deal with, and she is also with Su Wuming...

Su Wuming was even more worried. This girl was full of tricks. Was she going to do anything weird again?

Not long after, Chu Huan came in and bowed gracefully: "Greetings to the Governor, Greetings to Sima Su, and Greetings to the Chief Secretary."

Governor Xiong smiled and said, "Miss Chu Hua, I am honored to be here. What can I do for you?"

Chu Huan smiled slightly, but her eyes were cold: "Governor, the cause of Yan Yuanfu's death is unknown. If we don't open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people. If the people's hearts are unstable, it will not be good for you or Nanzhou."

She paused and added, "If this matter were to spread to Chang'an, I'm afraid..."

The corners of Su Wuming's mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

He is indeed not attached to any prince or princess, but this does not prevent him from occasionally "borrowing" their names to intimidate some blind officials. Chu Hua, this little girl, has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

The smile on Governor Xiong's face froze. What was going on? Why were they going back to opening the coffin and performing an autopsy?

"Miss Chu Hua, this... opening the coffin for an autopsy is really against etiquette! It will be hard to explain to the Yan family!"

Chu Hua raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a smile: "Governor, what you said is not easy to explain to the Yan family, but is it easy to explain to the people of Nanzhou? Yan Yuanfu died unclearly, and half of the four sons of Nanzhou are now dead. Even the people on the stone bridge map are only Zhong Boqi and Leng Ji. Now rumors are spreading in the city, and people are in panic. If the truth cannot be found out as soon as possible, it will probably cause greater panic!"

Su Wuming listened quietly at the side and nodded secretly in his heart. This girl was indeed eloquent. She silenced Governor Xiong with just a few words.

Seeing that Governor Xiong was embarrassed by Chu Hua's words, the Chief Clerk quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Miss Chu Hua, opening the coffin for an autopsy is not a trivial matter after all, and we need to think about it carefully! How about this, let's go back and discuss it first, and give you an answer tomorrow?"

Chu Hua chuckled and shook her head. "Chief Secretary, the longer this case is delayed, the worse it will be for Nanzhou. Rumors are spreading all over the city now, saying all sorts of things, and some even say it's a demon. Wouldn't this make the people of Nanzhou even more panicked? Instead of doing that, it's better to find out the truth as soon as possible to calm the people."

Governor Xiong and the Chief Secretary looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. This girl was clearly forcing them to open the coffin and perform an autopsy!

"But..." Governor Xiong wanted to struggle again. After all, he didn't dare to make a decision easily on such a serious matter as opening the coffin for an autopsy.

Upon seeing this, Su Wuming stepped forward, bowed and said, "Governor, I am willing to sign a military order and will find out the cause of Yan Yuanfu's death after opening the coffin. If I cannot find out, I am willing to accept the punishment and leave it to you, Governor." His tone was firm and loud, leaving no room for doubt.

"I dare you to deal with me!"

Chu Huan didn't want to waste any more time, so she reached her slender fingers into her lapel and took out a finely carved token from a brocade bag embroidered with delicate patterns.

This was a token that the princess had given her when they were discussing a major plan. The princess held her hand and solemnly handed the token to her, saying that the token represented her and that seeing the token was like seeing the princess herself.

"Governor Xiong, do you recognize this thing?" Chu Huan held the token in front of Governor Xiong with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Governor Xiong wanted to delay further, but when he saw the phoenix pattern on the token, his face turned pale instantly, and he fell to his knees with a plop, sweating profusely: "The token of Her Royal Highness...! Your humble servant, your humble servant..." He trembled and could not speak, and he cried out in pain in his heart. This girl actually brought up Princess Taiping! What should I do now?

The Chief Secretary also panicked and fell to his knees, not daring to breathe.

Su Wuming was stunned as if struck by lightning. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: When did Huan'er and the princess know each other? What is their relationship? Why didn't Huan'er tell him? What did she want to do by taking out the princess token?

Could it be... Could it be that Huan'er approached him at the behest of the princess? When Su Wuming thought of this possibility, his heart was filled with mixed feelings, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty.

No, the first person Huan'er met when she came to this world was me. It's impossible...

He secretly glanced at Chu Hua, and saw a sly smile on her lips, as if everything was under control.

How many secrets does this little girl have? Su Wuming sighed inwardly, it seems that he still knows too little about her.

Governor Xiong and the Chief Secretary were already scared out of their wits, and kept kowtowing and begging for forgiveness, muttering things like "I deserve to die" and "I deserve to die a thousand times". Chu Hua, however, remained calm, as if this earth-shattering scene had nothing to do with her. She slowly put away the token and chuckled, "Governor Xiong, can we open the coffin and examine the body now?"

How could Governor Xiong dare to say no? He nodded quickly: "Yes, yes!"

Su Wuming held Chu Huan's hand and walked quickly, almost jogging as they left the governor's mansion.

Chu Hua stumbled as he dragged her along, and she almost fell down several times. Chu Hua was wearing embroidered shoes, which made it difficult for her to walk, and now she looked even more embarrassed.

"Su Wuming! Slow down! My shoes are going to fall off!" Chu Hua finally couldn't help but protest and struggled to break free from his hand.

Su Wuming then stopped and turned to look at Chu Huan, his eyes complicated, with a hint of grievance and confusion: "Huan'er, when did you...when did you meet Her Royal Highness the Princess? Why didn't you tell me?"

Chu Hua stood still, looking at Su Wuming's aggrieved look, and laughed in her heart. She pretended to be puzzled, tilted her head, and asked back: "Why should I tell you?"

Su Wuming was stunned when he heard this, and the grievance in his eyes became even more intense. He pursed his lips and whispered, "Huan'er, is there any secret between you and me that cannot be told?"

"Secret?" Chu Huan raised her eyebrows and smiled mysteriously.

Su Wuming's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chu Hua really had some unspeakable secret? He stared at Chu Hua nervously, afraid to miss any subtle expression on her face.

Chu Hua looked at Su Wuming's nervous expression and felt even more proud. She paused deliberately, and then said slowly: "My true identity... is actually a fairy from the fairyland."

Su Wuming: “…”

He looked at Chu Hua talking nonsense seriously, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This girl was teasing him again!

"Huan'er, stop making trouble." Su Wuming sighed helplessly and reached out to hold Chu Huan's hand.

Su Wuming asked anxiously, "What is your relationship with the princess? Why did she give you such an important token?"

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of grievance: "Huan'er, why didn't you tell me this before?"

Chu Hua looked at Su Wuming's nervous appearance and burst out laughing.

"Hey, Su Wuming, why are you so nervous? I'm just joking with you." Her eyes moved with a hint of cunning.

Su Wuming felt relieved when he saw her smiling so easily, but his doubts grew. He sighed and said, "Huan'er, you are always so mysterious that I can't figure you out."

Chu Hua put away her smile and became serious. "Su Wuming, the reason why I didn't tell you is because this matter is of great importance and involves many people. I am afraid of getting you into trouble."

Su Wuming's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What is it? Just tell me, I will do my best to help you."

Chu Hua's eyes were firm and bright, and she said calmly: "Su Wuming, I do all this not only for myself, but also for thousands of Chinese women."

She paused and continued, "They should not be bound by fate or the times. They should have a broader world and a freer life."

Chu Hua's voice was sonorous and powerful: "For them, to change this unfair history, I must do it!"

Su Wuming was shocked by Chu Hua's passionate words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
