Fu Lingyun took the list handed by Chu Qingruo and glanced at it.

Zhang Hong, who cheated in the examination room, somehow hanged himself in the prison, and a bunch of suspicious people were written on the list brought by Dali Temple. Chu Qingruo looked at the names on the list with a headache, and eliminated them one by one, but in the end, he still found nothing and had no clue.

In desperation, he pulled Fu Lingyun, a general with considerable experience in solving cases, to come over to support. Fu Lingyun pointed to an unsurprising name on the list and asked, "Qingruo, do you have an impression?" ”

“？”

Stretching out his head curiously, Chu Qingruo glanced at the name he was pointing to: "It's indeed a little familiar." ”

Xu Yong also glanced at it and squinted his eyes: "This person has participated in the case of King Jinyang's rebellion, and he has contributed to the Huangyan case. Now it's on the list of fraud cases again, master, this person is a little interesting~"

Chu Qingruo was surprised: "This person is involved in so many things, how can he still hide in the court?" ”

"There is no time for the change of the DPRK and China." Fu Lingyun's face was slightly worried.

Mingzong has just ascended the throne, the foundation is unstable, and this person is a three-generation old minister, if he is moved, at this moment, I am afraid that it will provoke changes in the DPRK and China, and the Mo country, which has just stopped, is afraid that it will be ready to move again.

On the second day, Chu Qingruo, the waist card given to her by Mingzong, came to the prison to investigate the cause of Zhang Hong's death.

Walking into the cell where she was being held, Chu Qingruo smelled a faint fragrance. "Cell boss? This taste is ......."

The cell boss hurriedly stepped forward and laughed: "Mrs. Fu, this is the incense that the little people are afraid of the smell in the prison, and they collide with snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”

Chu Qingruo pointed to his nose and frowned: "Then there is a labor prison leader to talk about the situation at that time." ”

The cell boss arched his hand: "Yes, ma'am." She was fine in the first half of the night, crying and crying in prison, and suddenly went crazy in the second half of the night, kneeling and kowtowing to the wall, and her mouth was still chattering. ”

"Oh? Can you hear what she said? Chu Qingruo asked.

The cell boss smiled bitterly: "We have been in prison for many years, and we can't bear to see a lot of prisoners who are crazy in our own cases, so ...... Didn't pay much attention to it. After a pause, he suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, at that time, Ah Si, Ah Si thought she was noisy, so he ran over and stopped her." ”

Chu Qingruo hurriedly asked, "Who is Ah Si?" ”

The cell boss looked behind her, saw a figure flickering, and hurriedly beckoned: "Ah Si, come!" ”

The man named Ah Si came when he heard the voice: "I've seen Madame." ”

Chu Qingruo raised his eyes and saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, burly, and somewhat honest man kneeling in front of her and waiting for her to question.

"You're Ah Si? Get up. When you went to drink Zhang Hong that day, did you hear her say something? ”

Ah Si stood up, his face full of horror: "Madam, this is too evil, the villain thinks it is ......" said and looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Little suspicion, this prison ...... Ghosts! ”

The head of the cell had the tip of his ear, and after hearing it, he slapped him on the back of the head, and reprimanded him sharply: "Madame was ordered to investigate the case, and she will talk nonsense!" ”

Ah Siyi shrank his neck and hung his head aggrievedly: "Everyone is saying this, and I'm not the only one who thinks so." ”

Then he raised his head again and said nervously, "Madam, really." That day she knelt and bowed to the wall in the corner, and there were words in her mouth. I went over to stop her, and I didn't hear what she was saying, but when I did, the red turned her head, smiled at me, and reached out to dip her head into her head, and the blood that came out drew a faint in the air. Then he turned back to the wall and said a word, as if to say something, and went first. She hanged herself that night. ”

Chu Qingruo asked again: "How did you hang yourself?" ”

The cell boss pointed to the skylight in the cell and said, "She tore her dirty clothes into strips, tied them with her trouser belt, and hung herself on the skylight, and that's it...... Haned. ”

Took two steps towards the skylight, compared the height, the lowest part of the skylight, just to her neck, Chu Qingruo felt incredible, such a height, unless it was a dwarf, there was no way to hang himself no matter what.

"That red hanged himself on his knees." The cell boss saw Chu Qingruo's face full of doubts, so he stepped forward to make a statement.

Chu Qingruo suddenly realized.

Leaving the prison, Chu Qingruo went to Dali Temple again. Li Shaoqing personally led her to the room, and after saluting them, he uncovered the white cloth on Zhang Hong's corpse and explained to them: "My lord, madam, after the villain examined Zhang Hong's corpse, he found several suspicious places. ”

Chu Qingruo asked him to elaborate, and said: "First, the prison is cold and damp, but the body of the deceased is ruddy and abnormal, and the villain has examined it, and there is no sign of poisoning. Second, although the deceased hanged himself, he did not hang himself. ”

"And how did she die?" Chu Qingruo was puzzled.

He was ashamed: "The deceased was covered in the upper and lower bodies, with strangulation marks in the neck, and there were no other injuries, and the five organs were intact and there was no fatality." Villain...... The cause of death could not be found. ”

Li Shaoqing and Chu Qingruo were both surprised, there were no deep scars, how could a good person die?

Back at home, Chu Qingruo told Fu Lingyun and Xu Yong about this weirdness, and Xu Yong was speechless: "Weird, is there really a ghost in this world?" ”

Fu Lingyun frowned: "Ridiculous! ”

Chu Qingruo: "I have been walking in the land of three religions and nine streams since I was a child, why don't I go to him and ask him what thaumaturgy the people have?" ”

Fu Lingyun nodded in agreement and raised his voice to call Xu Fei.

On the second day, Xu Fei was ordered by Fu Lingyun to accompany Chu Qingruo through the streets and alleys of the imperial capital. The two came to the door of the shop where Xu Fei used to sell the stolen goods, knocked on the door, and led her in.

After listening to them finish talking about the case, Uncle Qiu touched his chin and sank to death for a moment before saying: "When the villain used to go south and north, he heard that there was a cult in Sang Yunguo fifty years ago, and he believed that people could reach the realm of omnipotence through a kind of magic. And this kind of magic, there is only one evil god in the Mantian God Buddha, so everyone in this sect believes in this evil god. As Madame just said, the way the deceased died was somewhat similar to the way the cult dealt with traitors. ”

"Cult? Traitor? Chu Qingruo felt that this matter was becoming more and more confusing, and a case of fraud in the examination room was actually involved in the cult forces of other countries, but she couldn't figure out what the connection was between the two.

Uncle Qiu said again: "Madame doesn't know that it's not surprising, that cult has been eradicated by the Sang Yun Kingdom fifty years ago, but in recent years, there seems to be a resurgence of the ashes. It was rumored that some of the cult's members who were still young escaped death and were infiltrated in various countries and social strata in various countries, and with their abilities, they could easily amass wealth and status. ”

His words reminded Chu Qingruo, yes, Zhang Hong can cheat in the examination room, isn't it her family paving the way for her behind her back?

So Chu Qingruo and Xiao Yao shifted their attention to Zhang Hong's family.

Who knows, just when they were about to interrogate Zhang Hong's father, Zhang Jizu, Zhang Jizu disappeared, as if the world had evaporated, and no trace of him could be found in the whole city.

Mingzong had to announce to the world a wanted warrant, and Zhang Jizu was wanted by the whole country, but a month has passed, and this person has still not been caught. The case of Zhang Hong's bizarre hanging and officialdom fraud was also put on hold. In order to appease so many students who were still stranded in the capital, Mingzong had no choice but to redraft the test questions and reopen the scientific examination.

This time, under the heavy precautions of Mingzong, the scientific expedition was carried out smoothly.

A month later, the results of the scientific examination came out, Chu Qingruo became the champion of the first female department without any suspense, and after the Golden Palace thanked her, Mingzong also worshipped her to become the Great Yan Country, and it can even be said that she is the first female appearance in the world!

After becoming a female prime minister, Chu Qingruo had no time to celebrate with her family because she remembered the unsolved case of Zhang Hong's bizarre death and the real culprit behind the fraud case in the examination room.

The first thing he did when he took office was to patrol the sky on behalf of him.

At the gate of the imperial capital, Chu Qingruo looked at his relatives and friends with emotion, and remembered the scene when Fu Lingyun returned from suppressing bandits, carried himself on his shoulder, and laughed that she was his trophy, as if it happened yesterday. Now that she has fallen out, Fu Lingyun is reluctant to send her away.

Sitting on the official sedan chair carried eight times in the morning, Chu Qingruo tearfully waved goodbye to her family and embarked on a journey that belonged to her.

There are Chu Qingruo's master, Xiao Yao, and Gao Bo as a guard.

Soon, a group of people left the imperial capital city, and they arrived at Xuanzhou Mansion.

"Your Excellency!"

Arriving at the outskirts of Xuanzhou Mansion, Gao Boyang stopped the team's footsteps, walked to Chu Qingruo's official sedan chair and arched his hand: "The front is Xuanzhou Mansion, do you want to investigate clearly, or do you want to make a secret visit?" ”

Now Chu Qingruo's identity is different, Gao Bo didn't dare to go over, and called her: "My lord."

Gao Bo looked at her beautiful face, his heart still couldn't stop throbbing, he was a rough man, although he knew her and was young, but now she is **, and he has become a brother with General Fu, and he really shouldn't think about those who have or don't. It's better to call an adult and distance yourself from each other.

Chu Qingruo was stunned when he heard this, but he guessed his thoughts, smiled and nodded. Sure enough, the little overlord is still the little overlord of the year, and his character is not bad after all.

Chu Qingruo: "This is the closest state capital to the capital, presumably they already know our appearance and itinerary." ”

Gao Bo realized after pondering, and was about to wave his hand.

"Help! Help, help me! ”

As soon as the sedan chair man lifted the sedan chair, Chu Qingruo heard a female voice of Qili not far away, shouting for help.

"Stop the car!" Hurriedly commanded in a deep voice, and after the sedan chair landed, Chu Qingruo walked out. Gao Bo hurriedly dismounted and followed: "My lord, I'll go with you to have a look." ”

The two men had walked a few steps to the forest path where the sound had come when they saw a woman with her hair scattered and covered in wounds, walking like a madman, crying loudly, and running towards them with her head in her hands.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me, help, help!"
