Shuntian Prefecture.
Qin Ye and Zong Zhengchen came quickly, and Ling Qianyi ran out immediately, asking several questions with concern:
"Uncle, Qin Ye, you are finally back! Is everything alright? What's going on in the palace? What did the royal grandfather say?"
Qin Ye didn't have time to say more. He just said "three days limit" and went straight to the point:
"Where is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture?"
He set fire to the body, his behavior was suspicious, maybe he knew the truth.
Interrogating him might yield some results.
Ling Qianyi pointed to the house behind him and said, "He has been staying in the house the whole time. I stood guard at the door and didn't leave for a moment. I kept a close eye on him."
He patted his chest and said proudly:
"Uncle, I'm very reliable! Since I'm so reliable, can I have the incense burner that you've treasured in your study for many years..."
Zong Zhengchen: "No."
He smiled gently: "Go away."
Ling Qianyi: “…”
He used the gentlest tone to say the harshest words. My uncle is such a stingy, petty, and miser!
At this time, only Qin Ye knew the truth.
I sighed in my heart:
——Young Marquis, it’s not that your uncle is unwilling to give it to you, it’s that your uncle is really poor. In my two lifetimes, he is the poorest prince I have ever seen.
Zong Zhengchen: “…”
Heaven.
If he is guilty, he can be punished by divine punishment. Why should he let the woman he loves despise him so much?
His dignity!
Qin Ye strode towards the courtyard and kicked the door open, only to see...
A body was hanging from the rafters.
Shuntian Prefecture Governor!
His face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ling Qianyi, is this what you mean by staring someone to death? He really stared someone to death!"
Dead as a whim!
"This...how could this be..." Ling Qianyi widened his eyes in surprise.
He had been guarding the house without leaving, and no one had come in or out. He thought that the Shuntian prefect had confessed his crime in the house, but he didn't expect...
Dead!
Once the Shuntian prefect died, the clues were gone!
Zong Zhengchen patted Ling Qianyi's shoulder kindly, raised a fatherly smile like an elder, and said very kindly:
"Xiao Yi, you've worked hard. Come to Prince Chen's mansion for dinner tonight. I'll cook for you myself."
Recipe: Stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots.
Ling Qianyi's neck shrank in fear, and he clamped his anus tightly in panic: "No, no... no need... I, I, I'm not hungry..."
Ball finished!
"I suddenly remembered that my mother wanted to talk to me about something, so I went home first!"
After saying that, he greased his feet, slapped his butt and ran away.
Qin Ye rubbed his brows and sighed:
"Someone wants to frame you, so they've made all the necessary preparations. It's not something Ling Qianyi can stop alone."
"How about this, you check when and how the jade pendant was lost? I'll go to the imperial capital to find out where the poison came from and who bought it."
"good."
The two reached a consensus and acted separately.
Zong Zhengchen returned to Prince Chen's mansion to investigate, while Qin Ye went to the imperial capital.
However, just as she left Shuntian Prefecture, Jing Yi suddenly appeared.
Medical clinic.
"Miss, the poison you want to check is specially made. It is not available in the imperial capital. According to my guess, it must have been specially ordered from the drug maker at a high price. This kind of transaction is very secretive and generally cannot be traced." Jing Yi said in a deep voice.
"I have been secretly watching the Wei Mansion these past few days. After Wei Siyi was poisoned, she became very quiet and there was nothing unusual. However, her father, Lord Wei..."
Jing Yi opened his mouth, and after a moment's thought, he said in a deep voice,
"It is reported that Lord Wei is an aide to King Chen and has always been loyal to King Chen, but... he is not a trustworthy person."
