Chapter 123: Poisoned, beaten

She first beat Cao Junjie today, let her go to Pingyang Hou Mansion to accompany Yun Ting for most of the day, and then went to Jingzhao Mansion at night, and so many things happened.

This time, it's really a bit unbearable.

"I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep." After this relaxation, Si Ning really felt that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes

"Yes, the slave maid will go and prepare the bath water, and the county lord will take a good bath in a while to relieve his fatigue."

"Well, go ahead."

After the dew drops left, Si Ning leaned back in her chair, and soon she fell asleep in a daze.

When Dew Drop came in after directing the maid in the courtyard to prepare the things to be used for the bath, she saw Si Ning leaning on the chair and falling asleep.

Although the weather has been good recently, Dew Drop is still worried that she will catch a cold if she falls asleep like this.

He stepped forward and whispered to her, "County Lord, County Lord, wake up, don't sleep here, I'll catch a cold for a while."

"Huh?" Si Ning opened his eyes in a daze, "What's wrong?"

Dewdrop: "County Lord, wake up, the bath water is ready, let's go back to sleep after taking a bath."

Although Si Ning's eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, when he heard the dewdrops' words, Si Ning still bothered and said, "Well, let's go."

She tried to keep her eyes open to refresh herself, and then went to the inner room to wash up.

Because he was so sleepy, Si Ning didn't soak for long, and after washing hastily, he plunged into the quilt and soon fell asleep again.

Si Ning had a good night's sleep, but Jingzhao Mansion was already brightly lit.

After Si Yunlan and the others left, Jing Zhaoyin immediately asked someone to call Liu Chengzuo, and Liu Chengzuo soon came over with a box containing the guy's business.

Afraid of delays, his pace was fast, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but had a sense of calmness.

The master behind Jing Zhaoyin saw him like this, glanced at his mouth, he would pretend, and there were no outsiders at this time, why was he still like this.

Master's expression was so obvious, Liu Qi naturally wouldn't have seen it, but he had long been accustomed to his expression, and his gaze just swept over his face and didn't care.

Liu Qi said in a cold voice, "What about the deceased?"

Master: "Here, get out of the way and let Liu Yan take a look first."

Although Master Ping Suli and Liu Chengzuo don't have a good relationship, he knows his methods, and he can always see something wrong with what corpse he sees.

The other officials were obviously very convinced of this Liu Yanzuo, and when they heard the master say this, they quickly made way for him.

Liu Qi walked to Cao Er's corpse with the box, then opened the box and took out a cloth soaked in vinegar from the inside and tied it to his mouth and nose.

"There are too many people here, so stay away."

Liu Qi said as he laid Cao Er's body flat, leaned over to check his condition, broke his eyelids with his hand for a while, and opened his lips for a while, and asked as he moved, "Tell me, what was the situation before the deceased died?" Do you know the cause of death of the deceased? Anything suspicious?"

The people of Jingzhao Mansion had long been accustomed to his questioning, and everyone was not surprised.

Jing Zhaoyin looked at Wang Zheng, the official who was standing beside Cao Er when he died, "You were by Wang Er's side just now, you come."

"Yes." Wang Zheng thought back to the situation before Cao Er's death, frowned and said, "I originally followed Cao Er to sign and draw the documents here, and nothing unusual happened during this period.

Cao Er's death was very sudden, obviously he was fine one moment, but the next moment he fell to the ground."

Liu Qi pressed all over Cao Er's body with his hands, and the corpse was already slightly stiff, "Who was the first person to discover the assassin?"

Jing Zhaoyin looked at Wang Zheng again, and this time before he could say anything, Wang Zheng spoke first, "It's still me, but I didn't find the assassin, I just guessed it myself after seeing Cao Er's painful expression when he fell."

"Guessing?" Jing Zhaoyin didn't expect to hear such an answer, "This Cao Er can't have some hidden disease, right?"

If that's the case, then they're really unlucky.

"It's not." Liu Qi got up and wiped his hands with the handkerchief he had prepared in advance, and said indifferently, "No, he's right, it's murder."

"Murder? What is the cause of death?" Sure enough, I guessed correctly.

"The cause of death was poisoning, you can see that his lips are slightly purple, which is a sign of poisoning, but the corpse has been dead for a short time, so the color is not obvious."

"That's ......" What kind of poison?

Before the master's words were finished, Liu Qi spoke, "As for what kind of poison it is, I have to check it carefully, and take the corpse to the corpse first."

Before the master could say anything, he held back, quite a little up, he glared at Liu Qi, he seriously suspected that he did it on purpose.

"Come on, take Cao Er's body to the corpse first." After Jing Zhaoyin finished instructing, he looked at Liu Qi on the side, "Liu Yanzuo, I guess you also know that Your Majesty has set a time limit for this case, so I have to trouble you to go and check it overnight and tell me the cause of Cao Er's death as soon as possible."

Liu Qi's face was still calm, and his voice was not in a hurry, "Don't worry, my lord, this is originally my business.

In that case, I went first."

"Go, go." Jing Zhao Yin wished he could go quickly.

Liu Qi left with the two officials who escorted Cao Er's body, and looking at the dozen or so people in the room, Jing Zhaoyin said in disgust, "The witnesses are all dead, what are they all doing here, what should they do!"

The officials naturally saw that the adults were in a very bad mood now, and they didn't want to stay, but now when they heard that he had sent them away, everyone scattered as birds and beasts.

In the candle-lit room, only Jing Zhaoyin and Master were left for a while.

Jing Zhaoyin glanced at his master, "What are you still doing here?"

"Adult, villain with you, isn't it afraid that something will happen to you." The master said and looked out cautiously.

Looking at him like this, Jing Zhaoyin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "With you in the place, can there be no accidents?"

"Yes, your Excellency is right...... Alas? Wait, what did you mean by that, my lord?" The master subconsciously flattered, and only reacted after the words were spoken.

"Forget it, just stay put, I'm too lazy to deal with you." After Jing Zhaoyin finished speaking, he looked at the vicinity of Cao Er's body and observed, trying to find some clues from it.

But unfortunately, he didn't find anything, Jing Zhaoyin was standing where Cao Er stood before he fell, his brows furrowed, how did he get poisoned? What was the Assassin's modus operandi?

Suddenly, a human face appeared in front of Jing Zhaoyin, Jing Zhaoyin's heart jumped, and he subconsciously swung his fist up, hitting the person's eye socket.

"Huh-" Master covered his eyes and screamed.
