Unable to get any useful confession, An Tingyu and Tang Liuzhao had no choice but to leave Mrs. Bai's courtyard. However, they did not leave the Bai Mansion immediately, but instead walked around the mansion. -- --
"Woof woof!"
Suddenly, the sound of a dog barking brought An Tingyu back to her senses from her thoughts, and at this moment, the security guard who heard the dog barking also rushed over.
"Miss An, it's you! I thought there was a thief!" said the security guard.
Hearing this, An Tingyu stared at the dog and suddenly laughed.
"Are you the security guard of the Bai Mansion? How long have you been working here? What's your name?" An Tingyu asked.
The guard bowed and replied respectfully, "Miss An, my name is Luo Yang. I've been working as a guard here since the master and his family moved to Tianmen."
"Has this dog always been in the backyard?" An Tingyu asked again.
Luo Yang nodded. "Yes! The front yard has always been guarded by guards. Although we also patrol the backyard, for safety reasons, the master kept a dog in the backyard. The dog is called Wangfu. The master likes the dog very much, so he often goes to the backyard to play with Wangfu! But I didn't expect the master to pass away like this."
"Did you hear the dog barking last night?" An Tingyu asked again.
"No!" Luo Yang said with certainty.
"How can you be so sure?" An Tingyu narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Because I had a stomach upset last night and didn't sleep well the whole night. My room is not far from the backyard. If Wangfu calls, I will definitely know."
An Tingyu's beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam of light. No? The only person who can stop a dog from barking is its owner, or someone who is very close to the dog. Otherwise, why would Wangfu not bark?
"Did you hear any suspicious noises yesterday, like talking or shouting?"
Luo Yang shook his head, "No!"
"Okay, I have nothing else to ask. You can go and get busy!" An Tingyu smiled slightly and sent the man away.
Only after Luo Yang left did An Tingyu's smile fade away, a cold flash in her eyes. "People's hearts have really changed! Bai Chengyi died at the hands of his own people. It seems that Bai Yuan's death may not be simple after all."
"So what are you going to do now?" Tang Liuzhao certainly understood what An Tingyu meant from her words, but even if they knew these questions, they could not confirm who the murderer was. After all, there were more than twenty people in the Bai Mansion, including guards, maids, cooks, etc. Now they could only be sure that the murderer was among them, but who was it?
Hearing this, An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily and said with a bit of amusement: "Tang Liuzhao, it seems that you are the official, right? Isn't it you who is going to do it? Why are you asking me?"
Although she was the nineteenth concubine, strictly speaking, she was just a commoner. It was a strange thing for an official to ask a commoner how to handle a case.
"But your methods of handling cases are better than mine, and this case is not unrelated to you, so please contribute your brilliant brain! Otherwise, I'm afraid I will have to resign and return home."
"Are you under a lot of pressure because of this case?" An Tingyu asked because she understood what he meant.
Tang Liuzhao sighed helplessly and said, "Bai Yuan was originally a nobleman and not a citizen of the Dragon Flame Nation, so many people are paying attention to this case. But now that his father is dead, and even his eldest son Bai Chengyi is dead, it's only natural for people above him to put pressure on him."
Tang Liuzhao pointed upwards as he spoke. Although he did not specify who it was, Tang Liuzhao was definitely referring to his immediate superior.
An Tingyu curled her lips and said, "I was thinking of wishing you a happy new career, but I didn't expect this case to be so complicated. Don't worry! If you get into trouble, I'll be there to take the blame."
An Tingyu patted his shoulder. In fact, she was facing a more serious problem than Tang Liuzhao. Although she had asked Dang Yan to find out that there was nothing wrong with their drugs, her one-sided statement was untenable. If someone came out and pointed out that it was the drugs that harmed people, she would not be able to escape the frame-up. Therefore, she wanted to know the truth of this case more than Tang Liuzhao.
"It seems I shouldn't complain to you." Tang Liuzhao said.
An Tingyu is now also a clay Buddha. What she is involved in is enough to bring about a catastrophe. Whether she will sink or rise depends on the truth behind it.
Sometimes, what people fear will usually come true. Under Tang Liuzhao's suppression, the possible cause of Bai Yuan's death was unknown to people outside except the Bai family and the parties involved. However, the matter that had been hidden for so long was finally spread.
That day, early in the morning, An Tingyu was awakened by Dang Yan's voice.
"Miss, are you up this morning?" Dang Yan knocked on the door. His voice was faint and flat, but when he knocked on the door so early in the morning, An Tingyu knew something had happened.
"Tell me! What's the matter?" An Tingyu asked.
"The news about the fake medicine has spread, and now everyone in the streets is talking about it."
An Tingyu sat up from the bed, rubbed her brows with a headache, and whispered: "Sure enough, it got out."
There is no wall that is impenetrable. An Tingyu never expected that the matter could be kept hidden forever, but she didn't expect it to spread out so quickly. It seems that she doesn't have much time left.
"Miss, Master Feng is here, and Master Tang is here too."
At this time, Xing'er's voice was also heard.
It seemed that Feng Beijian and Tang Liuzhao had also heard the rumors on the street. An Tingyu replied calmly, "I'll be there soon. Let them wait a moment."
After saying that, An Tingyu quickly put on her clothes, washed up briefly, and then went to the hall.
"Yu'er..."
"Okay, stop talking, I know everything!" An Tingyu interrupted Feng Beijian and said, "You came here so early in the morning, you didn't have breakfast, right?"
Feng Beijian and Tang Liuzhao looked at each other without saying a word.
An Tingyu didn't wait for their answer and said to Xing'er directly: "Xing'er, go prepare some light breakfast. I'm hungry."
"You still have the mood to eat?" Feng Beijian sighed helplessly, thinking, doesn't she know what's going on outside? Now people outside are saying that she sells fake medicine, harms ordinary people, and is a murderer. Those people have already started targeting her. If things go wrong, she won't even be able to leave the house.
"Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat, you will die. You don't eat when you should. Do you want me to starve myself to death before others kill me?" An Tingyu raised her eyebrows lazily, as if she didn't take the problem to heart, but in her heart, she was already dead, and her opponent took action.
Because if the news was not spread intentionally, it would not have spread so quickly. However, even if she knew what was going on, she could not panic, otherwise she would definitely lose.
