The two turned around and walked outside. A woman's voice kept coming from behind them. What she said was incoherent and difficult to understand.

Qin Shi returned the key to the jailer and led Jiang Yueyang out.

The two jailers looked at the figure disappearing around the corner and couldn't help gossiping, "That girl is really pretty. Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know, but she must be a noble lady."

"Alas, the rumors outside are spreading like wildfire, why are our adults acting like nothing happened?"

"Tell me, is that true?"

"pretty close."

"Then why didn't I see you cancel the engagement?"

"How should I know? For a family like yours, once a marriage is arranged, it cannot be cancelled just like that."

"My lord, you are so pitiful. You have been cuckolded before you even get married."

Qin Shi didn't know that he was pitied by the two jailers. When he led Jiang Yueyang back the same way, he stopped at the door of a room.

"Miss Jiang, I want to go in and get some information."

Jiang Yueyang subconsciously glanced at the sign hanging in front of the door - Archives.

"Oh... OK. Go get it."

Qin Shi: “…”

Isn't Miss Jiang very curious? Why didn't she ask to go in together now?

Seeing Qin Shi standing there without moving, Jiang Yueyang asked in confusion, "Uh... aren't you going to get the information? Why don't you go in?"

"I have a lot of information to get."

"It's okay, I can go back by myself."

Qin Shi hesitated to speak.

Jiang Yueyang looked at his tangled look, and suddenly thought of something, and asked uncertainly: "Do you want me to help you?"

Qin Shi nodded immediately.

"If you want my help, just tell me. Don't be shy. But, can I enter a place like this?"

Under normal circumstances, people who are not officials of the Dali Temple cannot enter casually.

But he has other intentions, and I'm sure the higher-ups won't say anything if they find out.

"That's fine. I'm only dealing with common cases."

Jiang Yueyang nodded without any doubt.

Qin Shi walked in first, and Jiang Yueyang followed closely behind him and stepped over the threshold.

The archives of the Dali Temple are similar to a library, with rows of neatly arranged shelves classified by time and case type, making it easy to see at a glance.

Qin Shi led Jiang Yueyang straight inside. The further they went inside, the thicker the dust accumulated on the wooden shelves, which showed that the place was not cleaned often.

Jiang Yueyang saw Qin Shi take a stack of files from a shelf marked "Backlog of Cases", which were covered with a thin layer of dust.

Qin Shi wiped it with his sleeve casually, then reached towards the shelf again.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang felt that he couldn't just stand there, so he also reached out to the shelf.

But he was stopped by Qin Shi.

"There's a lot of dust on it, don't touch it, it's dirty."

Jiang Yueyang: "...but don't you want my help?"

Qin Shi was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't think it would be so dirty."

"It's okay, just wash it if it gets dirty."

Jiang Yueyang reached out to the wooden frame again, but was stopped by Qin Shi.

He wiped the file on his hand again and again, and after making sure it was clean, he handed it to Jiang Yueyang, "Take this."

Jiang Yueyang took it subconsciously, and at the same time felt that Qin Shi was quite caring.

Then, Qin Shi took another stack of files and said it was okay.

Afterwards, the two men walked out one after the other, holding the files.

Jiang Yueyang looked down at the five or six files in her hand, then looked up at the files in Qin Shi's hand and frowned slightly.

[Xiaogua, do you think Qin Shi is in poor health? ]

【Um? 】

[Otherwise, why can't he get a few files and still need my help? 】

Qin Shi, who was in poor health, almost fell down when he heard this, and he finally experienced the feeling of guilty conscience in his lifetime.

The two of them quickly returned to Qin Shi's office with the files, but Minister Jiang was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Yueyang put down the file and asked, "Where's my father?"

"The master has gone to change his clothes." Qingzhi replied.

Jiang Yueyang nodded and said "oh", then found a seat and sat down to wait for her father.

Cui Yuan poured her a cup of tea.

Qin Shi thought about it, took a file and sat down on the chair next to her, while flipping through the file in front of her.

Jiang Yueyang looked over subconsciously, and then saw the record on it: "In the 20th year of Daxia, Mr. Zhang died at home. The coroner found that except for the marks on his neck, there were no other scars on Mr. Zhang's body, and there were no signs of struggle. It is suspected that he committed suicide by hanging..."

She asked curiously, "What are these cases?"

Hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but get excited. It came, it finally developed as he had imagined.

He replied calmly: "These are old cases, that is, cases that have not yet been solved."

"So you are finding these files now in order to reopen the case?"

Qin Shi nodded, "I have this plan, but these cases happened a long time ago, and it's hard to find the murderer."

At this time, the system said: [Host, there is a big news, do you want to hear it? ]

【What's the big news? 】

Cui Yuan, who was secretly looking at Jiang Yueyang, suddenly widened his eyes, but when he saw that his master could not hide his excitement, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

The system said: [It is the case that Qin Shi is looking at. The person who died is not actually Mr. Zhang. ]

[What?] Jiang Yueyang asked in surprise, [Who is the dead person?]

[He is Mr. Zhang’s twin brother.]

There was a hint of surprise in Qin Shi's eyes. He had seen Mr. Zhang's file before, and it did not indicate that Mr. Zhang had a brother.

The system continued: [In Mr. Zhang’s hometown, there is a saying that twins are unlucky, so usually only one of the twins can survive. But Mr. Zhang’s parents couldn’t bear to part with the child, so they secretly kept him.

Gradually, the two brothers grew up, but one was bright and beautiful, while the other could only live in darkness.

Unexpected things happen in life. Zhang Yuanwai's parents died one after another. Before they died, they asked Zhang Yuanwai to take good care of his younger brother.

Mr. Zhang had a good business sense and soon earned a fortune and settled in the capital. He also kept his younger brother in a secret room. But Mr. Zhang, who looked so handsome, had a secret that no one knew about.

What secret?

Jiang Yueyang felt that listening to the system say these things was like listening to stories.

She loves to listen to it, especially the kind with a hint of suspense.

Before this, she was confined to the mansion and the only gossip she could hear were trivial ones.

It's either someone getting chased by a dog on the street and having their pants bitten off, or the maids getting together to gossip and laugh until their teeth fall out.

It's funny, but not exciting enough.

The system continued: [Mr. Zhang is not good in that aspect.]

Qin Shi immediately flipped through the files, which clearly stated that Mr. Zhang already had two children. How could he not be good in that aspect?

No, Miss Jiang isn’t yet of age, right?

He suddenly felt a little regretful. Why did it happen to be like this?
