"The deceased was murdered to death. The murderer is in Qinghui Garden."
When Qin Wan's clear and calm words came to an end, everyone's spine shuddered, it turned out to be a murder case!
Qin Wan handed the bowl to Wang Huaiyu, Wang Huaiyu hurriedly took it, Qin Wan continued, "Datura flowers are not common, and most people in the world know that they are poisonous, and although liquor mixed with Datura flower poison can make people sleepy However, the murderer did not necessarily put the poison in the flagon. Master Pang and Liu Yuntong also drank together, but there was no sign of being poisoned, which shows that the poison was not put in the flagon. Therefore, the murderer probably put the poison in the flagon. The poison was put on something that was used only by the dead."
Qin Wan took off the protective gloves on his hand while talking, Wang Huaiyu was a little embarrassed to see that Qin Wan's hands were also stained with blood, "Yes, yes, I have written down what Miss Jiu said, thanks to Jiu girl..."
Qin Wan shook his head, and Yan Chi stepped forward and said, "Since it is confirmed that it is a murder case, Mr. Wang will take more care. The Shuangqing Class will continue to interrogate, and we can't relax here. There is a murderer hiding in the Pang Mansion." The murderer isn't very nice."
Wang Huaiyu nodded, then turned to look at Qin Yan, "I heard that Prince Qin is leaving tomorrow?"
Qin Yan glanced at the area surrounded by the screen, "We were going to leave tomorrow, but since a case has occurred, we probably won't be able to leave..."
Wang Huaiyu smiled wryly, "It's true according to the rules, but..."
Wang Huaiyu glanced at Yan Chi, "However, Nine Girls helped this time, so it should have nothing to do with you."
If the members of the Qin family were related to the murder case, why did Qin Wan help in this way
Qin Yan glanced at Qin Wan, and then said seriously, "Let's follow the rules. Master Wang trusts us, but others don't. It's better to check clearly to avoid future troubles."
Ever since he was delayed in Baicao Garden, Qin Yan was not in a hurry to rush back to the capital. It is only the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, and it only takes a few days to go to the capital. The Pang family has old friends, and this Liu Renli is the one he has won over for the crown prince. Now that there is a murder case in the place where the two are located, Qin Yan always feels uneasy. There is any turmoil, and a little bit of old things can be fatal, so Qin Yan planned to stay and see what's wrong with Pang Fu and Liu Renli for the sake of caution.
It would be fine if the two were innocent, but if there was any trouble, Qin Yan didn't want to set himself on fire, not to mention leaving at this time, if Wang Huaiyu didn't find out the murderer in the end, wouldn't they who left earlier become the objects of suspicion
After much deliberation, Qin Yan quickly made a decision—
Wang Huaiyu held his lips happily, "That would be the best, but it will waste the son's time."
Qin Yan shook his head, and Wang Huaiyu looked at Pang Fuliang, "Master Pang, it's really a murder case right now, don't underestimate it, I'll let He Butou come here, and all the servants in the mansion will ask for it later." Inquire."
Pang Fuliang's expression was somewhat panicked and dignified. Obviously, he never thought that there would be a murder case in his mansion. After Wang Huaiyu's words settled, he was stunned for a moment before he nodded, "Okay, okay, please Mr. Wang."
Wang Huaiyu glanced at Pang Fuliang, saw that Pang Fuliang didn't look like a fake, and then patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, the investigation started just after the incident, and there is still a good chance of finding out."
Pang Fuliang smiled wryly for a moment, "I wish I could find out now..."
This is to say that he has no suspicion, Wang Huaiyu nodded and said, "Before the manpower from the government office comes, you should let a few people guard the gate of this yard first, and then go back to the front and wait."
As he said that, Wang Huaiyu looked at Qin Wan again and said, "Ninth Miss, please go back and clean up. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Ninth Miss later."
Qin Wan nodded, looked at Qin Yan, and Qin Yan said, "Let Sixth Sister go back with you to freshen up."
Qin Wan said "Mm", and was about to step up, but subconsciously turned her head to look at Yan Chi, Yan Chi said, "It's hard work Nine Girls, let's go first."
Qin Wan nodded, and then walked out with Qin Shuang.
As soon as she went out, Qin Shuang covered her nose and took a step back, "How dare you..."
She looked at Qin Wan with some distaste, but her eyes were filled with shock, "You... you're not afraid? Did you cut her belly open just now... You..."
The more Qin Shuang said, the more incredible he felt. Thinking of that scene again, his stomach couldn't help but feel a little sour.
Qin Wan looked at her, "Didn't you say that I would dare to dissect a living person?"
Qin Shuang felt a chill down his spine when he said this, and when he looked at Qin Wan again, Qin Shuang felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
"No wonder... no wonder you dared to drag me into the lake earlier..." Qin Shuang resentfully brought up the earlier incident, and glanced at the Hanyue that Qin Wan was still holding, but his tone was a little sighing, "Thank you so much for not using a knife at that time."
Qin Wan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard the words, but she just wanted to teach Qin Shuang a lesson to Qin Shuang at that time.
In the cold night, the cold wind was piercing, Qin Wan's cloak had long been withdrawn, and now he was walking in only his jacket and skirt, so he naturally wanted to walk faster. They returned to the courtyard within a cup of tea, and Qin Wan returned to the house. Cleaned her hands first, and then changed her skirt again, so the smell of blood disappeared from her body. After changing the dress and it took two cups of tea, Qin Wanzheng didn't know whether to go there or wait in the room. Zhou Huairen had already arrived the door.
"Miss Nine, everyone is waiting in Deyue Tower right now, the prince asked the villain to pick you up."
Qin Wan responded, and turned to look in the direction of the main room, "Do you want to go with Fifth Sister?"
Zhou Huai nodded, "Of course I want it." As he spoke, he walked to the main room to knock on the door.
As soon as the door knocked, Wan He opened the door, Zhou Huaidao understood the purpose of coming, Qin Xiang said a few words in surprise in the room, and after a while, he came out wearing a cloak, Qin Shuang stood beside Qin Wan gently He snorted, "Look at her unhappy look, I don't want to tell you what happened last time, but her tail is getting higher and higher."
Qin Wan glanced at Qin Xiang, shook his head and didn't answer, and walked out with Qin Shuang first.
When the group arrived at Deyue Tower again, Deyue Tower was already brightly lit. Before the people from the Yamen arrived, Yan Chi, Yan Li, Qin Yan, Pang Fuliang and others were all waiting in the room. Wang Huaiyu was asking Pang Fu Liang and Wang Huaiyu were talking, and when they heard the movement, they looked over. After a while, Qin Wan's dirty skirt was replaced, and now she changed into a smoky blue pleated skirt with a goose skirt covering it. The egg-green slanted-breasted short jacket, and the outer cloak was replaced with a snow-blue moiré cloak.
Qin Wanzhou only had a sapphire hairpin in her hair, no accessories, no makeup on her face, and the usual colors on her body were mostly fresh and elegant, but for some reason, it was like this When the pale color covers her body, it makes people look at her indescribably pleasing to the eye. It always reminds people of the warm and melting wind, the sparse and faint clouds, and the clear blue sky. Although the clear lake with vast sky and endless green waves is very elegant, but because of her exquisite facial features, it is more slender, and the whole person only needs to stand there, and it is natural and amazing.
Different from other people's beauty with heavy makeup and smeared clothes and temples, Qin Wan's calm beauty does not have an aggressive edge, but somehow people think it is noble and bright, as if there is some kind of introverted hidden in her slender body. The powerful power comes from the bones, and the wind and snow are indestructible, and the beauty is so beautiful that ordinary people can't match it.
Wang Huaiyu stared blankly for a moment, thinking that Qin Wan was born in the Qin family, and the Hou family specially brought the three sisters of the Qin family into Beijing. After all, Wang Huaiyu, who is also a human being, suddenly understood what was going on. He almost thought of what Qin Wan would accept after entering Beijing. look.
"Okay, I see." Wang Huaiyu nodded and walked to Qin Wan's side instead.
"Miss Jiu, it's getting late, I'll ask you first, after I ask Miss Jiu, I'd like to go and have a rest earlier."
Wang Huaiyu's voice was warm and polite, and Yan Li, who was sitting in the main seat, sneered, leaned sideways and approached Yan Chi, and said, "It's amazing, in just such a short moment, this Lord Wang is quite subdued. "
Yan Chi looked at Qin Wan, and watched her answer Wang Huaiyu's question in a leisurely manner. Yan Li only saw Qin Wan in Yuzhou, so he was naturally more amazed, but Yan Chi was also surprised when he went. Wan was born in the capital, and after her parents died, she was raised in the Marquis's Mansion, but after three years, she was sent to Jinzhou. However, the years she was sent to Jinzhou were the most important years for a girl's family. Noble girl, before she is ten years old, she has to learn etiquette, talent, and any possible means and abilities from the foster mother. Qin Wan doesn't know if there is anyone in the capital's Houfu to teach her, but Jinzhou definitely doesn't have one.
When he was in Jinzhou, Yan Chi discovered that Qin Wan, who had been treated coldly in the Qin Mansion, was able to remain calm in any situation. No matter whether it was in the Hou Mansion or in front of him, any superior status was not enough In order to make her flustered and nervous, she came out of Jinzhou and arrived in Yuzhou. Yuzhou is more prosperous than Jinzhou. She met Prince Yu and saw more people. Yan Chi found that Qin Wan's aura seemed to be getting more stable and more attractive. People are paying attention, which is really incredible.
"Since that's the case, the three ladies will be fine. It's getting late, so you can go back and rest."
After Wang Huaiyu finished speaking, Qin Yan said, "I'll take you back—"
Just like the Qin Mansion where the accident happened, the entire Qinghui Garden must know about Qingyun's death right now, and most people are panicked from top to bottom, and there are still many people Wang Huaiyu wants to ask next, Qin Wan and the others will naturally go back It is better to rest.
Qin Wan responded, turned around and left, seeing that Qin Wan and the others were about to leave, Yan Li laughed, "Seventh brother, this case has just come up, so should we stay in Yuzhou and wait for the case to be clarified?" ?”
Speaking of which, Yan Li said again, "You are the procurator of the criminal division."
Yan Chi frowned slightly and said nothing, Yan Li then smiled and said, "I didn't expect investigating the case to be so interesting, Brother Seven still needs a deputy?"
"There is still one missing." Yan Chi finally said something, then turned to look at Yan Li again, "Do you want to do it?"
Yan Lixi smiled, "Yes, yes, Seventh Brother, just let me be your deputy envoy!"
Yan Chi nodded, "It's not impossible—"
Yan Li's amber pupils lit up immediately, "Okay, okay, then it's settled!"
Yan Chi said "Yes" and raised his chin, "I heard that the servants of the Qinghui Garden outside have gathered. Go ask and see if you can find any clues."
Yan Li was assigned an errand right after he took office, so he was naturally very interested!
He responded with a crisp "Okay", but when he took a step forward, he paused again, "What about you, Seventh Brother?"
Yan Chi got up and stood up, "I'll check other places in the mansion."
He said this in a loud voice, not only to Yan Li, but also to Wang Huaiyu, Wang Huaiyu quickly responded, Yan Chi was the one with the highest status, not to mention that he was going to investigate the case, even if he said that he would go back to sleep now OK
Seeing Yan Chi strode out of Deyue Tower, Yan Li smiled and went straight to the courtyard where servants gathered outside.
…
…
It was indeed late, and although the case had nothing to do with the Qin family, it was a dead person, and even Qin Shuang didn't have the mood to joke, so the three sisters went back to the courtyard and went to their rooms to rest.
Naturally, Bai Ying also knew about the accident in Qinghui Garden. Seeing that Qin and Wan came back, she hurriedly got out of bed, "Miss is back, how is it?"
Qin Wan was quite tired from the autopsy tonight, Fu Ling said, "I don't know the situation yet, the magistrate is investigating, he called us over and asked what we did all day, and then he let us back. "
Bai Ying looked at Qin Wan worriedly, and Qin Wan said, "It's okay, let's wash up and rest, and see if there is any result tomorrow morning."
Fu Ling hurriedly went to prepare after hearing the words, Qin Wan rested and lay down after a while, Fu Ling turned off the light, and went to sleep with Bai Ying, and Qin Xiang and Qin Shuang also rested very quickly after returning to the room, without any delay. For a long time, the entire guest house was plunged into darkness.
Qin Wan lay on the bed and waited for a quarter of an hour with his eyes wide open, when there was a noise outside the window.
Qin Wan felt a gust of cold wind pass by, and then, a figure fell into the room.
Qin Wan propped herself up, she was wearing an outer robe, but she was still sleeping with her clothes on, "Yan Chi?"
She hurriedly asked, and as soon as she finished speaking, a figure sat beside her bed, "If you keep the window open like this, aren't you afraid that others will come in through the window?"
Qin Wan lowered his voice, Yan Chi also lowered his voice, Qin Wan shook his head when he heard this, "How could someone else come?"
Yan Chi sighed, smeared and grabbed Qin Wan's hand, "Are you tired?"
The room was pitch-black, and the snowy light outside the window could only vaguely let Qin Wan see Yan Chi's outline and his eyes full of stars, and he just came in from the outside, and his whole body was covered with Facing the chill of the winter night, but his palm was warm, Qin Wan touched the thick callus of his palm, the rough warmth reassured her.
"A little bit." Qin Wan paused slightly, and then asked, "What do you think about this case?"
Yan Chi raised his hand to caress Qin Wan's cheek, if he was not afraid of attracting her little girl, he really wanted to light the lamp to see what she looked like now, "It's a bit weird, what else can your autopsy find out? "
Qin Wan shook his head, "That's all. The dead person had calluses on her hands, mainly on the tiger's mouth and palms. She was born from martial arts at that time. In addition, despite her age, her figure is still very slender, and her joints are not as stiff as ordinary old people. Besides, she still has a few scars on her body, I have seen them, they are all old wounds, so what Pang Fuliang said is probably true."
Yan Chi came to look for her, although he also expressed concern, but now the two of them coincidentally attach importance to this case.
"So what Pang Fuliang said is true."
Qin Wan nodded, "Yes, but the strange thing is, if it's really like what he said, they just met by chance, and later became old friends and regular customers. Why did Qingyun die in Qinghui Garden this time? With people like Huiyuan, the murderer either has a grudge against Pang Fuliang, or has a grudge against Qingyun, or both. "
Yan Chi had seen Huo Huaixin handle the headless bride case, and personally participated in the case of the Qin family. He knew the complexity of each case. It's a lie, half-truth, half-false, the most unpredictable, Qin Wan paused slightly, and said, "There is also Liu Yuntong—"
"Oh?" Yan Chi questioned, "How do you say it?"
Qin Wan said, "If he was involved in it by accident, then he is very wronged, but what if he and Pang Fuliang are hiding something? Before you came, Pang Fuliang had no intention of reporting to the officials, and the biggest concession was to let people secretly Go down and talk to the magistrate Wang, and he will definitely take it lightly. It can be seen that Pang Fuliang wanted Qingyun's death to be hanged, and he didn't want to make a big fuss. Maybe it was for his reputation, or maybe it was for other reasons. I'm not sure. , but Liu Yuntong, his feelings for Qingyun seem to be unusual... "
"Pang Fuliang was going to do it for us tonight. He didn't intend to invite Qingyun over. He was the third brother who said that it was not good to neglect the guests in the house. At that time, Pang Fuliang was a little hesitant. Liu Yuntong was the first to say that Qingyun should also come over. , and... After learning about Qingyun's accident, Liu Yuntong's reaction was the biggest, he was the first to come to Qingyun, and I was very sad to see him."
Yan Chi kept holding on to Qin Wan's hand, and frowned slightly when he heard this, "Liu Renli?"
Qin Wan nodded, "Exactly, I was very surprised at that time."
Qingyun has retired for many years, and Liu Renli has been an official outside for so many years, so he should have rarely met Qingyun. According to Pang Fuliang, Liu Renli met Qingyun through him, and he can only be regarded as an old friend. So, why is it more sad than what Pang Fuliang expressed
Speaking of Liu Renli, Yan Chi hesitated, "What did your third brother and Liu Renli say?"
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, "I don't know about that, they talk about the court affairs in private."
Hearing her words, Yan Chi sighed as if he was on guard, "Tell your third brother, no matter what you promise Liu Renli, after returning to Beijing, it's best not to let him get too close to the Hou's residence."
As soon as Qin Wan heard this, she knew it was not easy, "What happened?"
Yan Chi's voice dropped two points, "The matter of the salt transportation is very complicated. A few salt transportation envoys in the east have been brought to justice for corruption. This Liu Renli is not clean either!"
Qin Wan felt a chill down her spine, and soon, an idea popped up in her mind.
"The third brother said that the salt transport envoys in the east were greedy for tax money..."
"Exactly." Yan Chi squeezed Qin Wan's hand, "Tax corruption is a serious crime, not to mention that people are often killed in the transportation of salt."
Qin Wan said in a slightly serious voice, "Do you already know what happened to Liu Renli?"
Qin Wan asked this question because she knew that Qin Yan probably had reached a certain consensus with Liu Renli. If Liu Renli was already in serious trouble, then she had to remind Qin Yan. Since she has taken up the status of Ninth Miss, she has to consider it from the perspective of the Qin Mansion, not to mention that the Qin Mansion is also where she will live in the future. She does not ask for the convenience of the Qin Mansion's background, but only wants the Qin Mansion to be stable. So that she would have enough thoughts to plan her father's affairs. Secondly, she also wanted to figure out the idea that came to her mind just now.
Hearing her question, Yan Chi knew what she was thinking, he leaned slightly in the darkness, "Well... I naturally know, but your heart towards the Qin family is so obvious, I can't tell you in vain."
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, "Then you want to do—"
Before the word "what" came out, Yan Chi moved closer all of a sudden, his scorching breath fell on her face, and he was just a minute away from touching her lips...
Qin Wan didn't need to ask any more, she knew what he meant.
The corners of Qin Wan's lips were tightly pursed, perhaps after waiting too long, Yan Chi let out a "hmm".
With a slight threat, Qin Wan closed his eyes and kissed his lips lightly. Although the time was too short, Yan Chi was not satisfied, but he couldn't help but chuckled. Come.
In the darkness, Yan Chi's laughter hit the ears gorgeously, Qin Wan's face became slightly hot when he heard it, and he gritted his teeth, "Are you going to say it or not?"
Yan Chi withdrew his smile, and said from such a close distance, "Liu Renli came to Pang's family this time mostly to ask for money. He is the head of the Salt Transport Envoy in the south. Although the Salt Transport Envoy has an important position, he has been outside If he wanted to be promoted, he had to manage from top to bottom, and his background was not high, so naturally he spent more on this aspect. Not only that, he was honest and upright in Huzhou on the surface, but secretly he was extremely extravagant and lustful, and the Qin government was rampant. The girl’s case was later investigated in Huzhou, but because it was too old and interested people obstructed the investigation, the prefect Huo and I speculated that the officials on the Huzhou salt transport also did this kind of business.”
Qin Wan's breathing became lighter all of a sudden. Thinking about the case of the Qin family now, she feels very heavy. Although it is also a crime, seeing young children suffer like that always makes her even more unbearable. She did not expect that this The case involved so much behind it, and even someone above the Yan Yun had his hands on it, no wonder he was delayed in Jinzhou for a long time.
"Because of this, his private expenses are naturally huge, and the officials of the two lakes have a tendency to compare themselves in private. In the early years, this Liu Yuntong did not know where the money came from, and he had not used tax money. At the beginning, there were problems with the tax bank of the two lakes, and no one noticed it before, but this year the east side was investigated first, so he was naturally very flustered."
Qin Guan seemed to be in deep thought, Yan Chi suddenly pecked her on the lips when he saw this, and when Qin Wan realized it, Yan Chi had already continued talking, "Unless the tax money is paid before anyone participates in this matter, It is still unknown whether he can save his life, let alone get promoted."
Qin Wan didn't care about Yan Chi any longer, and asked softly, "Is there someone already planning to participate in this matter?"
Yan Chi said "Yes", "So I'm telling you, third brother, that Liu Renli is not the best candidate."
Qin Wan nodded in the dark, but he was a little scared in his heart. If Yan Chi hadn't told her about this, the Qin family would have been in trouble after returning to the capital, "So that's the case. I thought of it when you said it just now. Liu Renli came to Pang My family is here to ask for money..."
After a slight pause, Qin Wan said again, "But generally speaking, Liu Renli's request is huge, and Pang Fuliang may not agree to him... Could it be that the Pang family wants to do the official salt business?"
Yan Chi pondered and said, "Pang Fuliang said that he met Liu Renli on a social occasion, and then introduced Liu Renli to the head of the Shuangqing Class. Qingyun retired eight or nine years ago, and Liu Renli had not yet arrived in Yanshan eight or nine years ago. As for the position of envoy, at that time, he was at most a first-rank official, and Pang Fuliang would not necessarily make friends with him."
Having said that, Yan Chi suddenly said, "Speaking of which, we just need to find out where Liu Renli was an official eight or nine years ago."
Qin Wan nodded her head and said "Yes", "I'm afraid I have to check Qingyun's whereabouts after she retired, and whether she has lived in Dingzhou as Pang Fuliang said."
Yan Chi replied "OK", and at this point, the two of them have almost said about the case.
The room was pitch black, and the two of them were on the bed and the other was beside the bed, and they were so close. Once the silence fell, everything seemed a bit ambiguous. Qin Wan pursed her lips and broke the silence first. "We're not leaving, what about you?"
Yan Chi bent his lips, "I am the procurator of the procuratorate, and now there is a case in Yuzhou, how can I leave now?"
Qin Wan tilted his head and thought for a moment, "That's exactly what it should be, otherwise it wouldn't be suspected of dereliction of duty?"
Yan Chi smiled inaudibly, as if a little helpless, he had been holding Qin Wan's hand, but now he let go suddenly, Qin Wan didn't know what he was going to do, but felt that he was about to She pulled over.
Yan Chi hugged her and stroked her back with one hand, Qin Wan rolled his eyes, "By the way, why are you here tonight?"
Before Yan Chi came, he must not have known that there was a murder case in Pang's house. He brought Yan Li and Wang Huaiyu here, did he come to see her
"If you want to leave, I will be a little behind you these few days. Naturally, I won't be able to see you, so I want to come and see you."
Yan Chi's voice was pure and honest, and Qin Wan's heart softened again. She found a place to lie on Yan Chi's shoulder nest, and lightly hooked Yan Chi's waist with her hands. There were only two people left in the room quietly. breathing.
After hugging like this for a while, Qin Wan suddenly said, "I... seem a little sleepy..."
Qin Wan is a very self-disciplined person, and will never go to bed late unless necessary. When she said this, she seemed to be chasing guests. In addition, the two of them finally got along, but she was sleepy. what happened
Yan Chi hugged her back fiercely, Qin Wan hissed, and just when he felt something was wrong, Yan Chi snorted and let her go, "Since you are sleepy, go to sleep .”
Qin Wan felt a little embarrassed, "I..."
Yan Chi grabbed Qin Wan's hand and bit it lightly, "I'm going back to the capital, you'll have to suffer."
After saying this, Yan Chi pushed Qin Wan down on the bed, and pulled Jin Quilt to cover her nose, then turned around and left, with a "click", he even closed the window for her up.
Qin Wan only felt that her hands were still itchy, so she bent her lips in the darkness.
Her drowsiness came on time, and Yan Chi's presence made her feel very at ease, so she naturally fell asleep...
Qin Wan pulled the quilt to expose her chin, but when she thought that Yan Chi had covered her with the quilt, she hesitated again, retracted her hand, and just fell asleep like this...
When Yan Chi returned to Deyue Tower, Yan Li was still asking those servants who looked panic-stricken.
In the courtyard where the cold wind was blowing, Yan Li narrowed his eyes fiercely at everyone passing by.
All the questions were asked by Wang Huaiyu, he was only in charge of "watching", the poor servants of Pang's mansion were stared so nervously by him, they could only stumble and answer the questions, so Yan Li became suspicious of everyone.
Seeing Yan Chi's return, Yan Li immediately said, "Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother, why do I think these people are all suspects?"
Yan Chi glanced at the crowd, "Why do you see that?"
Yan Li said, "They didn't dare to look at me. I only saw them for a moment, and they were sweating like rain. The two were fighting and wanted to run away. Isn't this a guilty conscience?"
Yan Chi frowned, "Did you reveal your identity before the interrogation?"
Yan Li looked at Wang Huaiyu, "Master Wang revealed it."
Yan Chi looked at Yan Li as if he was looking at a fool, "They are just ordinary servants, and your status as the Prince Gong's son is here, wouldn't it make them nervous and tormented?"
Yan Li was speechless for a moment, "There is some truth in saying that, but I remember... those people in the capital are not afraid of me!"
As soon as these words came out, Yan Chi's originally helpless eyes dimmed, and he patted Yan Li's shoulder after a while, "If you really want to know how the case will be tried, look at Prefect Wang..."
Yan Li glanced at Wang Huaiyu, said "That's so boring", then asked as if thinking of something, "Seventh brother, where did you go just now?"
"Walk around the mansion."
"Oh? Brother Seven, what did you see?"
Yan Chi's eyes glanced at the servants standing in front of Wang Huaiyu, his brows were slightly frowned, "The small courtyards in this mansion are all connected in all directions. From the route alone, anyone may commit a crime and leave quietly."
Yan Li frowned, "Isn't that difficult?"
Yan Chi didn't speak, and glanced at Pang Fuliang who was standing at the door of Deyue Tower. After another look, Liu Renli seemed to have disappeared. Yan Li followed Yan Chi's gaze and said, "Liu Yuntong is finished with the questioning. Since he is a guest, let's go to rest first." gone."
Yan Chi raised his eyebrows, "Has the Mistress of the Pang Mansion ever appeared?"
Yan Li nodded again, "It has appeared, it has appeared, just now, I came with the third young master of the Pang family, and the prefect Wang left after asking." Yan Li said, "It is possible to disguise a sleepy woman as a hanged woman. It must be a man of considerable strength, although Qingyun is not fat, but I guess that man stepped on a stool to pick him up and hang him up... weak strength is not enough."
Yan Chi frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't immediately confirm it. What Yan Li said was right according to common sense, but Yan Chi clearly remembered the case of the Qin Mansion. He and Qin Wan were also trapped by such thoughts at the beginning. Everyone knows that such a big demon-suppressing stone needs a strong man to move it, but they didn't expect that man to use the flexibility of bamboo, but Qingyun is much lighter than that demon-suppressing stone , in fact, a strong woman can do it.
"Seventh brother, am I right?"
"No." Yan Chi ruthlessly denied Yan Li's words, and then walked to Wang Huaiyu's side. Wang Huaiyu naturally had a way of interrogating people, Yan Chi didn't speak, just listened, but things were far from as simple as Yan Chi thought.
After all the servants finished interrogating, they still had no clue.
Wang Huaiyu temporarily dismissed all the attendants, and said while entering the Deyue Tower, "Almost everyone has clearly stated what they were doing during that time, and they have not found out where the mandala poison was placed. When meeting at the mansion and seeing Master Pang, all the tea, water and food are not enjoyed by Qingyun alone, it is impossible, she took poison before entering the mansion?"
Wang Huaiyu rubbed his forehead, and seeing that it was getting late, he said, "Your Highness, go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow. I can't ask anything else for the time being tonight."
Yan Chi didn't speak, Yan Li yawned and said, "Prefect Wang, what did the people in the kitchen say?"
The meals are all cooked in Fuchu's kitchen, and the people in the kitchen are naturally the key.
Wang Huaiyu hurriedly said, "I've asked all of them, and several people don't admit it. Everyone's wealth is recorded in the house. On the surface, it seems impossible to have any enmity with Master Pang and Qingyun."
Yan Li spread his hands, "Isn't this the only way to get stuck here?"
Wang Huaiyu smiled wryly, and Yan Chi said thoughtfully, "Then let's do this first, let's go."
Wang Huaiyu naturally responded repeatedly, Yan Chi explained a few more words, and led Yan Li out first.
Yan Chi and Yan Li left Deyue Tower and headed for the gate of Qinghui Garden. After leaving the mansion, Yan Li suddenly looked behind the two of them, "Hey, where is Bai Feng? Brother Seven has assigned him a job?"
Yan Chi was noncommittal, and got on the horse's back.
Seeing Yan Chi's appearance, Yan Li knew that he had planned something, so he also smiled and rode away.
Wang Huaiyu, who was one step behind, also left the Pang Mansion not long after, leaving only a few servants guarding Qing Yun's body. Because of the murder, the whole Pang Mansion was panicked, and those who were called to interrogate everything were anxious. Uneasy, only when the lamps in all parts of Pang Mansion were extinguished, the panic and uneasiness was covered by the night.
After confirming that Wang Huaiyu had left, Pang Fuliang, who was supposed to be resting, headed towards a guest courtyard due north. The guest courtyard was unguarded, and a dim light was on in the main room. When Pang Fuliang pushed the door and entered , just seeing Liu Renli's sad and sad expression, Pang Fuliang's eyes narrowed, "I said, put away your appearance!"
While talking, Pang Fuliang closed the door...
There was no outsider present, and Liu Renli was no longer so afraid of Pang Fuliang. He said in a heavy tone, "Honestly, is it you? In your house, who dares to be so bold?!"
Pang Fuliang's eyes were cold, "Be sober! Don't fight among us at this time!"
Liu Renli sneered, "Infighting?! I'm afraid you're so cruel that you forget that we're on the side... I can't figure it out. She has such a temper, and she will be strong for the rest of her life. How could she hang herself?! Now it's been found out, she It was murdered by others, isn't it the most convenient for you to ingest that poison..."
Pang Fuliang clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "I will drink all the wine, vegetables and tea with you, how come I am not poisoned?!"
The corners of Liu Renli's lips twitched, "Then who else..."
Pang Fuliang narrowed his eyes, as if he had thought of a long time ago, Liu Renli saw his expression change, "You mean, the one who hurt her was—"

Without saying much, he strode out of Liu Renli's guest house.
Half an hour later, Bai Feng quietly entered Yan Chi's residence in Prince Yu's Mansion.
"After Wang Zhifu left, Pang Fuliang went to find Liu Renli immediately. His subordinates seemed to be aware of it as soon as they were about to approach Pang Fuliang, and then he left." Bai Feng lowered his head, "It's the subordinates who are incompetent."
Yan Chi waved his hands when he heard the words, "Not doing your business, what else?"
Bai Feng thought for a while, "He went back to his residence, turned off the lights and took a rest. The subordinate waited for a quarter of an hour and came back to report to the master first, but... but the subordinate passed by a remote backyard in the north of Pang Mansion. At that time, I found that although the backyard was locked, there were people in the house... "
Yan Chi's attention was attracted, "Who?"
Bai Feng said in a deep voice, "A...a little girl..."
