Chapter 82 The Strange Minister Li
Yun Que looked at Li Jin's spirited back with great sympathy.
Old Wei's cursing was incredibly foul!
Let us mourn for him.
Qin Jinzhi returned to the Prince's Mansion with Yun Que. In the evening, she changed into men's clothing and went to Tianxiang Tower.
With Liu Yiyi's medicine, Luo Xiangfu's wounds improved a lot, but her voice was still a little hoarse.
"Aunt Luo is really vigorous for her age. With so many injuries, she will be fully healed in a few days."
Luo Xiangfu flicked her silk handkerchief, "That's right, I, Luo Xiangfu, am blessed with good fortune and a long life!"
Qin Jinzhi sat at the table. "How's the matter I asked you to investigate going?"
Luo Xiangfu immediately said with a gossipy look:
"Last time you said you suspected Li Chao's son, Li Mi, was having an affair, and you were right!"
Li Mi kept a mistress behind Li Chao's back.
They also arranged for many servants and men to serve them, and even a considerable number of guards were assigned.
My men came back and said that the woman seemed to be heavily pregnant!
She really is a woman.
Qin Jinzhi felt something was strange when she led a few people to perform an autopsy last time.
Li Mi's body was clearly the result of someone venting their anger.
In particular, his manhood was also cut off.
Moreover, Liu Yiyi said that Li Mi's left arm was chopped off many times before it was severed.
This proves that the person who made the first cut to dismember the body had very little strength.
She couldn't help but suspect that a woman with a romantic entanglement with Li Mi had killed him.
However, it's likely that someone helped her dispose of the body at Tianxianglou.
But none of these are the strangest.
The strangest one is Li Chao.
Instead of investigating Li Mi's cause of death, he relentlessly pressed Luo Xiangfu to reveal who was behind her.
It doesn't seem like they want to know who the murderer is; it's more like they want to interrogate Luo Xiangfu about what she knows.
Moreover, before the case was closed, Li Chao took Li Mi's body home.
When Liu Yiyi performed the autopsy, there were no signs of an autopsy on Li Mi's body.
As the Minister of Justice, Li Chao's first step in solving the case was to examine the corpse and investigate the murderer.
How could he not take any action at all?
If he were to say he was too grief-stricken to remember, Qin Jinzhi's visit to Li Chao that day didn't seem like she had lost all sense of propriety.
In the conversation with Qin Jinzhi, besides anger and doubt, there was also worry.
What is he worried about?
Qin Jinzhi's lips curled into a smile; things had become extremely interesting.
She looked at Luo Xiangfu, "Have you been in contact with the Sixth Prince?"
Luo Xiangfu laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"Don't even mention it. Ever since the whole capital has been saying that the Sixth Prince is the master behind Tianxiang Tower, that idiot hasn't dared to come looking for me again."
My men came back that day and said that when Yang Wenxuan came out of the Sixth Prince's residence, his face was covered in blood. He probably went home and cried to his wife.
Qin Jinzhi smiled along with her; she could already picture her good uncle flying into a rage.
"I plan to visit Chengzhi tomorrow. Is there anything you want to bring him?"
Luo Xiangfu was not polite at all, and handed her a bundle, saying, "If you don't tell me, I'll let someone else go."
Qin Jinzhi took the bundle, saying, "Take this with you."
"Tell that brat to study hard, and I'll come see him when I have time."
That's it?
"It's gone."
Qin Jinzhi got up and left with her bundle.
After leaving Tianxiang Tower, Qin Jinzhi looked at the address found by Luo Xiangfu in her hand and asked her to see if this woman had really killed Li Mi.
The carriage stopped at the west street entrance, and Qin Jinzhi and Yun Que leaped into a house.
The two searched for the woman quietly.
This house is quiet and secluded, and it's clear that the owner has put a lot of thought and effort into its maintenance.
The two reached the roof of the house, and just then, the bedroom door was quietly opened.
A woman wearing a nightgown and with her hair down walked out of the room.
Her belly is already swollen, and she looks about four or five months pregnant.
The woman was barefoot and walking hurriedly toward somewhere.
Qin Jinzhi and Yun Que followed quietly behind the woman.
The woman eventually ran to a courtyard.
Just then, someone in the house suddenly shouted, "Miss is missing! Quick, find Miss!"
"Miss! Where are you!"
Hearing the shouts, the woman didn't turn around and jumped straight into a well.
Yun Que stared wide-eyed at Qin Jinzhi, wondering if she should be saved.
Qin Jinzhi's gaze was indifferent; she wasn't my mistress.
However, Qin Jinzhi heard the shouts from a distance, so she picked up a pebble and knocked off all the tiles not far away.
Splash!
"What's that sound!"
"It's the backyard!"
"Go and see!"
"There's a well in the backyard! Miss, you didn't jump into the well, did you?"
"Go find it quickly!"
Soon, a maidservant came running over with a group of guards.
The process of drowning is extremely painful; even suicide involves struggling.
As soon as the guards reached the well, they saw the woman inside!
"Save the young lady! Save the young lady!"
One of the guards immediately jumped down, and after a short while, the people above threw down a rope and pulled the two of them up.
The woman's face was ashen. Qin Jinzhi then noticed that the woman's forehead was bandaged with gauze, and bloodstains had appeared after being soaked in water.
Both of his wrists were wrapped in gauze.
Add to that the image of the woman resolutely jumping into the well.
Is this woman trying to kill herself?
Suicide out of fear of punishment?
However, the people in the manor were always worried that something might happen to this woman.
"Quickly call a doctor! If anything happens to the young lady, the master will not forgive you!"
Is the master the maid mentioned Li Mi? News of Li Mi's death has already spread throughout the capital, but this household has not yet received any news.
Does Li Mi have other women?
The moonlight shone on the woman's thin face.
The woman's eyes were tightly closed.
Qin Jinzhi frowned slightly. Why did this woman look so familiar?
After everyone had left.
Qin Jinzhi and Yun Que climbed out of the house.
"Hibari, don't you feel like you've seen that woman somewhere before?"
Lark had the same feeling, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen this person before.
"Have someone keep an eye on this place and the Li residence."
The next day, Qin Jinzhi, dressed as a man, arrived at the Imperial Academy.
She changed to a completely black carriage, without any markings of the Prince of Zhenbei's residence.
I arrived at the gate of the Imperial College just as the students were leaving school.
A very handsome young man saw the carriage at the door and immediately ran over excitedly.
He stood by the carriage curtain and called out happily, "Third Brother!"
Qin Jinzhi heard the sound and lifted the carriage curtain, smiling as she looked at the boy who had grown quite a bit taller.
"Get in the car."
The boy happily entered the carriage.
"Third Brother! When did you get back?! I missed you so much!"
The boy was about to rush over and hug Qin Jinzhi when he spoke.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and stopped him, saying, "Third Brother is injured."
The boy asked anxiously, "How did Third Brother get hurt!"
Qin Jinzhi said nonchalantly, "It's just a minor injury. Your mother made you some new clothes and asked me to bring them to you."
Luo Chengzhi said sadly, "Third brother, Mother is always so busy. I haven't seen her for almost a year. And you too, you've been gone for three years. I'm almost an unwanted child!"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you're already sixteen. Why are you acting like a spoiled young lady?"
