"That's enough," Eunuch Fu suddenly said.
"Come closer and tell me the details of this case."
Everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. The Fifth Prince—that is, Xiao Fengque—stepped forward respectfully and asked, "Does the eunuch still have those three pills?"
“Of course,” said Eunuch Fu in a shrill voice. “That’s important evidence in this case, so naturally I carry it with me at all times.”
"Please show it to me, sir."
Grandpa Fu snorted in dissatisfaction, took out a yellow paper package from his pocket, spread it on the table, and saw three pills the size of green dates lying on the yellow paper.
The three pills were red, black, and white. They were round like pearls and soft like jujube paste. They emitted a unique, pleasant fragrance.
Xiao Fengque reached out to touch it, but was stopped by Eunuch Fu: "This is evidence. Just tell me, don't touch it."
Xiao Fengque withdrew his hand, pointed at the three pills from a distance, and asked, "Did Eunuch Fu find any toxicity in these three pills?"
"No!" Eunuch Fu shrieked. "Those quacks at the Imperial Hospital can't see anything! They're really making me angry."
"If you can't tell, that's good," Xiao Fengque said with a smile. "Because these three pills are not medicine."
"Not medicine? Then what is it?" Eunuch Fu sneered. "Young man, don't try to fool us!"
Xiao Fengque asked, "Does Your Excellency know about drawing lots?"
Eunuch Fu looked suspicious: "Of course I know, but what does this have to do with the pills?"
“These three dumplings are no different from the lots we drew.” Xiao Fengque stood by the table, his eyes lowered, a glint of light surging within them, but his tone became increasingly gentle and harmless.
"You think our family is like yours?" Grandpa Fu sneered.
Xiao Fengque extended two fingers and made a pinching motion: "In the previous dynasty, there were wandering knights who formed an organization dedicated to avenging people. Before assassinating officials, they would put three pills—red, black, and white—into a bag to search for them. The one who found the red pill would kill the military official, the one who found the black pill would kill the civil official, and the one who found the white pill would preside over the funerals of the other two."
Following Xiao Fengque's fingertip, Eunuch Fu's gaze fell on the pills on the table... one black, one white, and one red.
Xiao Fengque picked up a black pill and twirled it in front of Eunuch Fu: "Think about it, wasn't the official who had a black pill beside him before he died a civil official?"
Grandpa Fu paused, his expression gradually becoming unpredictable.
Xiao Fengque put down the black pill, then casually picked up the red pill and waved it in front of Eunuch Fu: "Think again, what was the position of the official who had the red pill beside him before he died?"
Eunuch Fu's expression shifted several times before he said in a sinister tone, "Then this white pill..."
Xiao Fengque approached Eunuch Fu without making a sound, "Bai Wan, naturally you will be in charge of the funeral arrangements."
Old Master Fu frowned, sensing something amiss: "Whose funeral are you presiding over?"
Xiao Fengque chuckled lightly: "Naturally, I will preside over Eunuch Fu's funeral."
Grandpa Fu trembled, suddenly startled!
Like an arrow responding to a critical moment, like a bowstring being released, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Fengque roared and flicked his two fingers!
With a "plop" sound, an extremely tiny red object embedded itself in the Baihui acupoint on the top of Grandpa Fu's head!
Baihui acupoint is a major acupoint in the human body. The blow injured Grandpa Fu, temporarily rendering him unable to move. Although it was only for a short while, it was enough.
Thunderclaps are too fast to strike, lightning cannot fly.
Xiao Fengque lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped up, kicked up the Wind Whisper Blade on the ground, caught it with his hand, turned around and slashed!

The blade, sharp as snow, illuminates the bright and clear world.
