Master Cui felt much better after resting for a while, and was about to ask someone to invite Miss Qin Wu to come to his study to discuss matters, when he saw a cell boss stumbling in with a pale face, kneeling down and kowtowing and begging for mercy, muttering, "Dead... All dead... My lord... Spare your life!"

Master Cui heard this, and couldn't help but shout with a calm face: "What the hell is going on?

Originally, he just said that, but he didn't expect the cell boss to raise his head suddenly when he heard this, and said in surprise: "My lord, you know everything?"

"What do you know?" said Master Choi's face sank even more.

The cell boss shouted: "The prisoners, the prisoners, are all dead......

"What?" Master Cui stood up, because he was in a hurry to get up, his body did not stabilize and fell backwards, but a catcher who had just entered the door hurriedly supported him.

He didn't hear what Master Cui was suspicious of being a cell boss, so he asked again: "What did you say? Who died?"

The cell boss had no choice but to put his heart on his head and cry with a sad face: "Don't dare to hide it, my lord, the prisoners in our prison died just now..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Cui had already rolled his eyes and fainted.

Standing behind him, he didn't have time to salute, and hurriedly helped him to the couch over there to lie down, and went to the door to call for a doctor.

Qin Yue talked with Mrs. Cui in the backyard for a while, and was about to go to the front yard to discuss the follow-up arrangements with Master Cui, when he just walked into the courtyard and saw the officials in a panic and hurry.

She called one and asked him what had happened.

And the servant told him what had happened.

Qin Yue was shocked.

Although the law and order in Jinzhou has always been very good, and there are not many people detained in the government jail, there are still a few, and not all of them have committed capital crimes, and some of them have to be released after a few years.

can do such a ruthless thing, and have this means, except for Ye Li, there will be no one else. Unexpectedly, in order to kill his mouth, Ye Li actually killed those irrelevant people together...

It is obvious that such a big thing happened and cannot be hidden.

However, the other officials in the office also rushed to hear the news, all of them were gray, angry, and all of them had no master.

They didn't know about the plan to capture the white wolf this time, and the prefect waited until the matter was completed before he handed over the matter to them, who would have thought that the angry people would stone the prisoner to death in the first trial of the case, and now there is such a big thing, how can this be good? But Lord Cui himself is unconscious...

Qin Yue looked at them coldly for a while and couldn't help shaking his head, coughed lightly, and then ordered one of the officials to lead the way to the cell, and let another official pass on the work.

Although the prisoners are dead, they must always give an explanation to the people and the sufferer, at least to find out how they died, who the murderer was, and why they died.

The officials were stunned for a moment, and then they caught a glimpse of their colleagues who were already following Miss Qin Wu, so they also consciously embellished themselves.

The group came to the prison.

Sure enough, I saw many corpses in prison clothes lying on their stomachs or lying on their backs or upside down in each cell, and the piercing blood stained the gray prison clothes on their bodies into jujube red, and the pungent smell of blood could be smelled from a distance.

Qin Yue instructed the leading official to open the door of a cell and get in.

June, who had been following him, squatted down in front of him to look at the corpses of the prisoners, and finally got up and nodded to Qin Yue, "Miss, they all died of poisoning." “

"What poison?"

"Arsenic. ”

Qin Yue sighed, not surprised. This was originally Ye Li's way of doing things, in addition to being vicious, he also liked to be concise and clear the most, and he was not afraid of being known by others at all.

"Look again, where does the source of the poison come from?"

The officials who followed her covered their mouths and noses one by one, turning their faces away and not daring to look at the corpses that described horror... I knew that the cell was so terrifying, so I shouldn't have been brave enough to accompany Miss Qin Wu in...

June carefully inspected all the utensils in the prison, and finally looked at the black-faced steamed bun crumbs scattered on the ground, picked up some and spread them in his palm and sniffed them close to his nose, and finally let go of his frowning brow.

"Miss, arsenic is in steamed buns. ”

It's not a clever trick, but it works. The inmates in the prison are fed at a fixed point every day, and they are usually only half-full, and by the time they eat the next meal, they are already hungry, and they can't wait to eat when they see the food...

If you really want to investigate it, there must be a lot of people involved, but you can't help but pursue it. Regardless of whether the person who poisoned him was a ghost who was bought by him in the government or a white wolf who was impersonated and infiltrated into the prison, in short, there must be his manpower in the government, but I don't know whether this person escaped or stayed to continue to do evil after he succeeded.

So Qin Yue made up her mind to check.

After arriving at the scene, all the corpses were collected and filed in accordance with the regular procedures, and the autopsies were made one by one, and the records were recorded, and the official determined that all the prisoners had been poisoned by arsenic and died.

Qin Yue left the cell and came to the study in the outer courtyard of Lord Cui.

At this time, Master Cui had woken up, but he couldn't get up, his spirit was still weak, and he was still anxious to get angry while lying on the couch.

All the officials stepped forward to offer their condolences.

In front of all the officials, Master Cui said that the matter would be handled by Miss Qin Wu with full authority, and asked everyone to cooperate with her.

The crowd responded. They thought that they couldn't take over this hot potato, although Lord Cui's move was not in line with the system, but after all, this Miss Qin Wu was not only the young lady of the Qin State Mansion, but also the lord of Chunjun given by the Holy Lord, and she was half a royal person, and it was reasonable for her to take the lead.

It's a matter of urgency.

Qin Yue did not shirk either, and immediately responded to the matter.

Even if she let someone else take care of this matter, she really didn't feel at ease, after all, there were too many secrets involved. But in this way, she couldn't take the time to rush to meet her grandfather and Brother Tang, let alone go to Nanyu Kingdom with them.

It's okay, it's an indirect decision for her.

Qin Yue immediately instructed the officials to send Master Cui back to the backyard.

As soon as Mrs. Cui, who got the letter in the backyard, walked to the second gate, she saw her husband being carried back, her pale face couldn't help but turn a little whiter, and her body almost fell down.

Seeing this, Master Cui, who was half-lying on the soft sedan chair, hurriedly ordered the sedan chair to be stopped, and called his wife to comfort him.

Mrs. Cui reluctantly settled down, wiped her tears and ordered to get up the sedan chair and then hugged her husband to the backyard.

Qin Yue gave orders in Master Cui's study.

Since the officials had already agreed to this matter in front of Master Cui before, of course, they also wanted to try their best to cooperate with Miss Qin Wu at this time. As long as you don't let yourself do real work with the white wolves, you can still do the work of running errands.

Qin Yue originally didn't plan to let these people charge. Everyone has their own strengths, and letting them play to their strengths is the best way to make the most of them. Therefore, they are instructed to do what is within their power and within the scope of their duties.
