At that moment, Qi Yunxiao was eating cucumbers and chatting with Shen Qingyu when the guard reported to his colleague at the gate and then headed towards Qi Yunxiao.
Qi Yunxiao knew something urgent had happened.
Because when he and Shen Qingyu are alone, they cannot be disturbed unless there is an urgent matter.
This is a rule that all the Dragon Guards know.
"What is it? Speak."
The guard said, "Today we caught someone spying on us at the soap shop in town."
"Who are they?" Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu remained unconvinced, their tone calm.
"He's dead. He bit the poison out of his mouth."
Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu were both dumbfounded, each holding half a cucumber.
Did he bite down on the poison in his mouth?
Is he a suicide squad member?!
Such assassins are not something that ordinary families can train.
But that woman is already dead, so who else can they offend?
Which wealthy and powerful family would go to such lengths to spy on us?
Qi Yunxiao didn't say much, but simply stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Shen Qingyu immediately stood up: "I'll go too."
Qi Yunxiao glanced at her: "You shouldn't go. That person died a horrible death, and you're a woman..."
Shen Qingyu wasn't afraid at all and chased after them.
Why would a doctor be afraid of dead people?
Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to take them along, but he kept reminding them along the way: "When we get there, don't go inside. Just talk to the people working there."
"If there are any clues, that would be better, but if there aren't, it's alright..."
It was almost as if she was being told to stay away; there are men who would naturally handle these kinds of things.
When the two arrived in town, it was already dark.
By lighting the oil lamp, Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu saw the assassin.
He was plain-looking, but bleeding from all seven orifices.
Shen Qingyu reached out to unbutton the assassin's clothes, but Qi Yunxiao grabbed her hand and frowned, "What are you doing?"
"How can we tell his background and environment without seeing his features clearly?"
“But you are a woman,” Qi Yunxiao emphasized.
Shen Qingyu pouted: "I'm a doctor too, so I can see people's conditions from a more professional perspective..."
Qi Yunxiao had no choice but to step aside.
The guards at the gate: Is it normal for you two to be fighting over a dead man, especially one bleeding from all seven orifices?
After the inspection, Qi Yunxiao immediately wanted to go to the prefectural city, but Shen Qingyu stopped him: "It's already dark. If you run to the prefectural city like this, you won't be able to get in. The city gates are all closed!"
"Shall we go first thing tomorrow morning?"
As soon as Qi Yunxiao finished speaking, Shen Qingyu immediately said, "I'm going too!"
It just so happens that Miss Yuqiao is heavily pregnant and hasn't been in town lately, so she'll go and check on her.
The next day at daybreak, the two got up and left.
Fifty dragon guards followed closely behind and set off as well.
As such a procession passed by, passersby dared not even glance at it, for fear of bringing trouble upon themselves.
That's pretty scary.
It's scary, so be it.
In these extraordinary times, neither Qi Yunxiao nor Shen Qingyu dared to be careless.
After entering Tongxin Mansion, the two went to Qian Mansion.
Now that Mr. and Mrs. Qian knew Qi Yunxiao's identity, they were naturally very polite and immediately escorted them to the back.
Yu Qiao was overjoyed to see Shen Qingyu.
Qi Yunxiao saw Cheng Ping, but his face remained ashen.
"Are the people who came to spy on the soap factory today your people?"
Qi Yunxiao went straight to the point.
Cheng Ping sneered, but Cheng Ping just smirked.
"If I really wanted to kill you, why would I deliberately let people find out in broad daylight?"
Well……
Qi Yunxiao didn't say much: "Then do you know who it is?"
Cheng Ping: "...Isn't that your real purpose?"
Qi Yunxiao curled his lip: "Anyway, if we can't find out who this person came from, I'll assume it was done by your people."
Cheng Ping: "Young Master, you're being far too unreasonable!"
"You suspect I attacked you, shouldn't you be the one to find evidence to prove it was me?"
"Why would you ask me to prove that it wasn't me?"
Cheng Ping laughed in anger as he spoke: "If everyone acted like this, then the world would just be framing people and then demanding that the other party prove it wasn't them?"
Qi Yunxiao glanced at Cheng Ping: "I don't believe you."
Cheng Ping was already sitting in the recliner, so he simply spread his hands and leaned back: "Do whatever you want! I'm lying flat! Do whatever you want!"
Qi Yunxiao looked at Cheng Ping helplessly: Sure enough, Cheng Ping is better at cheating.
"Then who do you think it is?"
The tone of those words was noticeably more gentle.
Cheng Ping retorted, "What does it matter to me who it is? It's not me anyway."
Qi Yunxiao sighed: "If you want the Emperor's approval, I can help you, but you also have to help me."
"I have no one to rely on now. I've been dismissed from my post, didn't you know?"
Cheng Ping still refused to cooperate.
Qi Yunxiao: "Where are the assassins your mother left behind?"
Cheng Ping: "..."
"If you want to protect your loyal followers, help me find the people behind them..."
As Qi Yunxiao came out of the courtyard, he smashed a cup.
Cheng Ping looked at the white clouds in the sky with a complicated expression: "What a sly fox..."
How could I have ever thought this person was so incredibly righteous?!
Are you blind?
The two men had already resolved the issue, while the two women were still chatting.
And there's a trend of them getting more and more excited as they chat.
Upon seeing this, Qi Yunxiao quickly pulled his wife away.
If we don't leave now, they'll get so caught up in their conversation that we won't be able to get home today.
Who knew that they would run into Qian Wanliang at the door.
Qian Wanliang's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Shen Qingyu approaching!
