Who knew that Qin Shuyao shook his head.

"At this point, it was already very serious, but what happened next was completely unexpected."

Qin Shuyao returned to his house, and after eating and drinking, he changed into a night suit and went to Tongquetai.

The clothes he brought over were found, but Qin Shuyao searched for a long time in the room of Tongquetai, and he didn't see Xiyue.

Obviously, the other girls were sleeping well in their rooms, and Qin Shuyao had found the three girls who had received him last time, but he hadn't seen Xiyue.

Things started to go a little unusual.

But there was no time, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he found a random wilderness, set his clothes on fire, and then returned to his house from the main gate in the bright sky.

The servants saw Qin Shuyao who had returned, although they didn't know when the adults went out, but it was good to be back.

Immediately, Qin Shuyao went to the official mansion, after all, his master was still thrown in prison by himself, in order not to be exposed, he had to deal with the relationship first.

As a result, as soon as he entered the official mansion, Qin Shuyao saw a group of people surrounding him as if they had seen a fortune, and he was startled.

"My lord, you're finally back, it's a big deal!"

There were a bunch of officials around him, and Qin Shuyao's face showed a puzzled look: "I'm sorry, there were some personal matters that need to be dealt with yesterday...... What happened? ”

Next, Qin Shuyao listened to them talk about Yan Shao from everyone's mouths.

"What?" Qin Shuyao pretended to be surprised, "Yan Shao is dead?" Or was he killed by the woman in the Qinglou? ”

Bing Cao stood next to him and saluted Qin Shuyao: "My lord, that's exactly the case, Lord Yue was on the scene of this matter, but I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Qin Shuyao looked back at Yue Wenhui: "Yan Shao was killed in the Qinglou, why did you see the whole process?" ”

This was to the point, Yue Wenhui was a little hesitant, and glanced coldly at Bing Cao on the side.

Didn't this force him to explain why he was in the Qinglou!

"Back to my lord." Yue Wenhui saluted Qin Shuyao, "I was invited by Yan Shao to go to the Qinglou yesterday, and my adults also know that I have a very good relationship with Yan Shao in private. ”

This is the same as what Yue Wenhui and Bing Cao explained yesterday, it always sounds suspicious, but if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.

However, Qin Shuyao, as an eyewitness to yesterday's incident, knew exactly what they were doing, but he couldn't say that he had to find evidence.

In fact, this evidence is in the hands of those Qinglou women, but whether Yue Wenhui took advantage of his absence to embarrass them is another question.

However, Qin Shuyao was sure that Yue Wenhui would not go to "Xiyue", because Yan Shao said that Xiyue herself was the person they were working with, and she knew what to say and what not to say.

And Yan Shao is dead, and it is very likely that he will take his place next, and when the time comes, Miss Xiyue will have to cooperate with her, and she will definitely not give him out.

"So, did you do an autopsy?" Qin Shuyao seemed to quickly enter the working state.

After all, Yan Shao died in the state capital, if this matter is not handled well, not to mention that the official position is not guaranteed, he may have to apologize for his crimes.

Although he knew what had happened, the general suspicions had been passed through in Qin Shuyao's mind, but the necessary process still had to be taken, in case the slightest hint of the horse's feet, the next thing was unimaginable.

After all, there are still a lot of people in this state capital who want to attack him, and he can't leave a handle on these people.

Subsequently, Qin Shuyao followed a group of officials around him to the place where the autopsy was conducted and saw Yan Shao's body.

Qin Shuyao has also seen a lot of corpses, Yan Shao is obviously the one who died more miserably, not to mention the bleeding of the seven orifices, his face is dark, and he knows that it is poisoned at a glance.

"Back to my lord." When he saw Qin Shuyao's arrival, he reported the results of his autopsy, "Yan Shao died of poisoning." ”

Qin Shuyao furrowed his eyebrows and observed Yan Shao's corpse.

Sure enough, he died of poisoning.

Except for the poisoning, the rest of Yan Shao's body looked nothing unusual.

After looking at it for a while, Qin Shuyao shook his head for a while, and nodded again for a while, not knowing whether he understood it or not.

"Take me to meet those Qinglou women." Qin Shuyao was humane to the people behind him.

"Yes."

So Qin Shuyao followed his subordinates to the heavenly prison again.

First of all, Qin Shuyao went to meet two other relatively ordinary Qinglou women.

The two little girls were obviously frightened, and had been imprisoned for a night, but now they saw a bigger official come in, and their faces were white.

"You go out first." Qin Shuyao was humane to the people behind him.

Everyone also knows that Qin Shuyao has the habit of interrogating alone, and in the past, although the time dragged on for a long time and they pulled each other's skins, in fact, every time Qin Shuyao could ask what he wanted to ask in various ways.

So the people behind him obediently withdrew, and Qin Shuyao came to the little girl alone.

Maybe it was because she saw that Qin Shuyao was more kind, and the little girl knelt down in front of Qin Shuyao, crying pear blossoms with rain.

"My lord, I really didn't do it!" This little girl is the one next to Yan Shao, "If I have half a lie, the sky will thunder, and I will not be able to marry for the rest of my life!" ”

"Don't rush to swear just yet." Qin Shuyao squatted down and looked at the little girl at eye level, "Tell me what happened yesterday." ”

So the little girl cried and told everything about yesterday, and there was nothing wrong with what Qin Shuyao saw with her own eyes.

From another little girl, Qin Shuyao also got such news.

After questioning, Qin Shuyao asked the jailer for some food and served it to the little girls.

Next, Qin Shuyao went to find "Xiyue".

The master sat in prison in women's clothes for a night, for fear that someone would come to find him and ruin Lord Qin's affairs, and at this time, he looked at Qin Shuyao with two heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he was distressed and funny.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qin Shuyao also brought some food to the master, "I'll find someone to do it for you when I go back." ”

The master had a wry smile on his face.

Although he knew that Lord Qin was forced to do so, he was almost the same.

"Sure enough, as I expected, Yan Shao was poisoned." Qin Shuyao said to his master, "But I still don't know who gave the poison." ”

"I'm going to find the real Xiyue today, so you can come out."

The master nodded, anyway, he didn't have to work in this kind of place.

After saying a few words and gathering some time, Qin Shuyao walked out of the prison door.

Bing Cao was obviously a little anxious, and asked Qin Shuyao about the situation as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Shuyao just shook his head slowly.

"Sure enough, I didn't ask anything." This soldier Cao seemed to have expected it a long time ago, "My lord, use the torture, I don't believe it, the big punishment will serve them and say nothing!" ”

Qin Shuyao stretched out his hand to stop Bing Cao: "Don't worry, let's go to the scene for another two days." ”

If Bing Cao is allowed to enter the torture now, the master will soon be exposed, and he will definitely be unlucky at that time.

The current situation is that you must find the real Xiyue.

Without further ado, Qin Shuyao immediately took people to Tongquetai to find a woman in the Qinglou who was close to a few people to understand the situation.

But everyone said that on weekdays, these three women are very gentle people, and they are also timid, and it is impossible to kill people at all.

This is not the point, the point is that Qin Shuyao can't find the real Xiyue.

It stands to reason that Xiyue was knocked unconscious by him, and she should wake up after a while, but she didn't expect that she would be gone.

And the rest of the women all said that Xiyue was taken away by the government yesterday and has not come back yet.

This Xiyue refers to Qin Shuyao, where did Xiyue, who was knocked out by Qin Shuyao, go?

And like Xiyue, the old bustard who pleaded for himself yesterday is gone.

The two of them seemed to have evaporated from the world.

But Qin Shuyao must find Xiyue.

Because if he can't find it, then it's confirmed that the one in the official prison is the real Xiyue!

And that Xiyue is actually equal to Qin Shuyao himself!

Qin Shuyao found that this matter was even more complicated than he thought.

"Over the next few days, I searched the entire state capital." Qin Shuyao said, "But I didn't expect that I would actually find the body of the real Xiyue in a small corner in the north of the city. ”

Corpse?

Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing glanced at each other, knowing that the matter was really serious.

"So, you actually suspect that someone is targeting you?" Lin Jinxiu thought of a very bad possibility.

Qin Shuyao nodded: "Yes, some people want to use such an opportunity to completely eradicate me, preferably the kind that has no name and no surname, and disappears inexplicably." ”

The best way to make a good official disappear legitimately is to first ruin his reputation, then get rid of his cronies, and finally consider whether this person can make a comeback and decide whether to eliminate him directly.

But from Qin Shuyao's narration, it can be known that this Qin Shuyao is an official who is selfless and wins the hearts of the people, perhaps because he is too upright, invincible to all poisons, and his own talent is outstanding and he is deeply loved by his superiors, which will cause the current result.

It is estimated that it is a bit difficult to tarnish his reputation, so just skip the first two steps and let him die.

But he himself has practiced martial arts, and there are many secret guards around him, and he has worked hard for those people on the other side to make so many fancy intestines.

"Moreover, while I was investigating, there was an edict from above." Qin Shuyao began to rummage through his body and took out a box longer than his palm, and inside it was actually a golden letter.

The letter is in a book on a scroll, but it is well packed from paper to box, which is obviously ......

"The emperor's handwriting?" Huai Yanqing said Lin Jinxiu's thoughts.

Qin Shuyao nodded solemnly: "I don't know what the big Sinong said to the emperor, the emperor actually gave me an edict, asking me to solve this case within a month." ”

"If I can't break it, maybe I'll have to lose my head."

I'm afraid this is the direct reason why Qin Shuyao wants to come for help.

This case itself is quite strange, and there is no helper who can be used in the state capital, so Qin Shuyao can only find someone he trusts.

And this person is Huai Yanqing.
