Yoohseok gave a bow to the scholars before walking outside of the chamber.
"We have the horses prepared." Sunoo spoke gesturing Yoohseok to walk ahead.
Yoohseok gave him a nod. "Did you inform Minji?" Said Yoohseok.
"Yes, i did." Sunoo replied.
•••••••
"The crown prince is here. Bow down!" The guard announced halting his horse at a place.
Yoohseok climbed down from his horse and walked towards the river, he watched the crowd giving him several bows.
"Your highness...there is her body..." The guard pointed at the dead body laying in the mud near the river.
They all covered their nose when they could smell a strong rotten odour.
"I don't want to go near..." Sunoo whispered, his stomach started rumbling just with the smell.
He stopped in between and watched Yoohseok's back.
"Your highness... We will stop here..." One of the guard spoke looking at Yoohseok for permission.
Yoohseok gave him a nod and walked towards Yongsoon's lifeless body, she was naked, her body had several deep cuts, her face had a sharp cut starting from the forehead and ending at her chin, her body was surrounded by rats and maggots which made the scene horrible to even look at.
Yoohseok looked back at his guard.
"She died three days ago..." The guard spoke.
"Why is her body still here?" Asked Yoohseok.
The guard looked around at the people who started crowding the area. "You people are from the same town, none of you took care of her body, why?" Said the guard looking between the people.
A man walked out and looked at Yoohseok with an apologetic smile, "She's a courtesan. How can we touch her body?" He spoke.
"Great..." Yoohseok replied, "Since her body is completely rotten, it will be impossible for us to-"
"We can carry her body on a plain wooden..." The guard spoke looking at Yoohseok.
"Are you sure? I don't want any of you to be uncomfortable." Yoohseok spoke.
"No worries your highness. We will do it." Another guard replied.
"Alright, take her to the place where i usually conduct the court. We will bury her body there." He spoke.
"Alright your highness..." The guard replied.
"Collect the evidences, looks like it was a royal. There's an arrow under the tree, and the knives are near her head. Collect as much evidences as possible." Yoohseok spoke before walking towards Sunoo some of the guards followed him, others started doing the work.
"Take me to her husband." Yoohseok spoke looking at Sunoo. Sunoo gave him a nod.

Yoohseok sat on the chair which was placed for him by Gyan.
At this point Gyan was sweating alot which increased the suspicion more.
"Gyan, we won't hurt you. Whatever you know, you should tell us. Truth will be respected doesn't matter how harsh it will be, but if you lie, you will pay the consequences." Sunoo explained clasping his hands behind his back.
"W-What...are you talking about?" Gyan stuttered, his eyes roaming all over the guards before they stopped on Yoohseok.
"He is talking about Yongsoon. Your wife, who died three days ago. Why didn't you pick her body from there for three days?" Asked Yoohseok resting his arms over the arm rest.
