Chapter 124 Clues in the Ashes



Hua Yuanshan almost couldn't help laughing out loud when she heard the voice. That bitch usually showed off everywhere relying on the rustic medical skills she learned from who knows where.

Look, it's like the boat capsized in the ditch, right?

"You said that it was your elder sister who ordered you to do it?" Hua Yuanshan raised her head and glanced at Hua Yuanzhao who came over after hearing the voice.

"Eldest sister, even if grandma scolds you a lot, it's all for your own good! How could you murder grandma?"

Hua Yuanzhao was too lazy to pay attention to this brainless woman. He walked around the screen and went forward to examine the hallucinogenic drugs that were presented as evidence.

When this medicine is sprinkled on flowers, its efficacy is diluted many times, but it is only good enough to kill insects!

What's more, this hallucinogenic drug is of inferior quality and is far inferior to Nanzhao Huangliang!

Hua Yuanzhao curled his lips in disdain and was about to speak when a violent roar suddenly erupted in the room.

"It's so stupid! It's so stupid!" Old Madam Hua suddenly cursed.

Hua Yuanshan was so frightened that her eyes were dumbfounded and she was pulled aside by Aunt Su with her neck shrunk.

"A servant like this who talks nonsense should be beaten to death! Mu'er!" Old Madam Hua raised her voice and shouted.

Prime Minister Hua suddenly came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Don't worry, mother."

He cleared his throat and ordered Li Gu to drag the man away, regardless of how the gardener begged and cried.

Madam Hua listened to the noise outside, frowned, took a deep breath, and then continued, "If I die, it will not benefit the Hua family at all."

Just the matter of mourning makes Prime Minister Hua spend a lot of time and effort!

"Instead of messing around at home, why not focus on the outside!" Old Madam Hua said tiredly: "Go and see if there are any shady people among your colleagues..."

It doesn’t matter if there aren’t any. As the prime minister, how could he have few political enemies?

Now, using the excuse that my mother was poisoned, I picked out a few unlucky people and eliminated them...

Prime Minister Hua suddenly had an idea and replied in a dull voice, "Yes."

"Let's all go, just let Zhao'er stay..." The old lady stammered, "I'm getting a headache listening to you guys talking so much..."

"But..." Hua Yuanshan was unwilling and wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Aunt Su.

Prime Minister Hua gave a few more instructions and then hurried out. The room had been bustling with activity just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left.

Hua Yuanzhao reluctantly went back to the inner room, and after thinking it over again and again, he said to Madam Hua: "I can find out who did it by looking at the poison on the flowers."

This drug is volatile, and anyone who has come into contact with it must have been affected, which can be detected through a blood test.

Madam Hua remained silent for a long while before she gave a bitter smile and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Grandma has lived most of her life. Wasn't that quite a failure?"

Even her own daughter wants to kill her now!

Hua Yuanzhao's pupils shrank slightly, and the guess in his mind suddenly had an answer.

No wonder the old lady was suddenly knocked unconscious, no wonder Mrs. Han came alone after the fire last night, no wonder the old lady kept being vague...

It turns out that the murderer is really Han!

But judging from the original body's memory, this old lady spoiled her daughter in every way. What kind of hatred or grudge was there between the mother and daughter that made Madam Han commit suicide by harming her own biological mother?

The biological grandmother of the eldest daughter of the Hua family is seriously ill and needs care. Even if the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has a hundred reasons, it is impossible for them to forcibly break in and take her away.

Princess Lin'an lived in peace for a few days, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to the door.

She did nothing else but sit in the room staring at Hua Yuanzhao, and from time to time she touched her new whip.

Old Madam Hua has calmed down a lot since she was almost killed. Seeing this, she was amused and asked Hua Yuanzhao to take Princess Lin'an to the garden to play.

Hua Yuanzhao was unwilling in his heart, but he had been staying in the house every day for the past two days and was very suffocated, so he had to nod and agree.

Princess Lin'an was immediately delighted upon seeing this, and she took Hua Yuanzhao's arm affectionately and dragged him out.

Hua Yuanzhao didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw her walking further and further away, he suddenly stopped.

She looked at Princess Lin'an with an innocent look on her face and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

Princess Lin'an chuckled and hugged Hua Yuanzhao's arm with a flattering smile: "Sister Hua, well, it was my brother who asked me to come this time."

As she spoke, she looked around and motioned Hongying and Fuling to stand guard at the side.

Princess Lin'an looked mysterious as she took out a neatly folded handkerchief from her waist. When she opened it, she saw a long needle that had been burned so badly that its original shape could hardly be seen.

Hua Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows and looked at the thing in confusion.

Princess Lin'an said disdainfully, "My brother asked me to show it to you. He said he found it from some jailer."

Hua Yuanzhao silently retracted his outstretched hand and stared at the burnt long needle in a daze.

She had said before that she wanted to perform an autopsy on the jailers who died suddenly in prison, but when Rong Xiu went there, she found out that the bodies of the two jailers had already been taken back by their families.

They went to the deceased's home, but found out that the man had died in an ignominious way and had been cremated.

Naturally, the two of them didn't believe this reason, but they couldn't ask others to dig out the urn for them to examine, right?

This matter was delayed like this and became a mystery that weighed on Hua Yuanzhao's mind.

But I didn't expect that Rong Xiu, that rascal, would actually dig out the clue from someone else's ashes and send it to me.

If the jailer who "died suddenly" died from this long needle...

Hua Yuanzhao took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, and his eyes were filled with anger.

When Chang Zhen killed people several times, there were not many people present. After investigation, there were even fewer people left. All the clues piled up and pointed directly to Gu Ci!

If Gu Ci was really the one who killed the jailer, then what did he want? Did he just want her to escape from the capital?
