Chapter 215 - The murder case of the Jiangzhou

Night fell. In the blink of an eye, the night passed and the stars faded.

Because Yun Qin and Qing Yao were pregnant, the two men had to submit to him no matter what.

The maidservant placed the sour plum and green oranges on the table. As Qing Yao ate, she ridiculed Wen Le: "He studies those medicinal soups all day and chased after me to let me drink. I feel like vomiting whenever I smell the medicine right now."

Just as his voice fell, Wen Le's voice sounded from outside the door: "From afar, drink your medicine."

Wen Le stood outside the door with a tray in his hand, and walked in.

Seeing Qing Yao's twisted sinister little expression, Yun Qin could not help but burst out laughing, causing Wen Le to faintly raise his eyes: "You have a share too."

He brought out the two bowls of medicinal soup from the tray, and assured Yun Qin: "Don't worry and drink it. If you drink it in the future, your son will definitely be at ease, if your daughter is fair and beautiful!"

"Then I'll give it a try, and see how hard it is to make the drug change its color while talking about it from a distance." Yun Qin curled her lips, picked up the bowl and took a small sip. It did not have the bitter and unpleasant taste of traditional Chinese medicine, it was just like ordinary soup, neither salty nor sweet.

After drinking for only two days, she already did not want to drink anymore, not to mention that Qing Yao had been drinking for a few months straight. At night, Wen Le brought the soup over as well and Yun Qin gave Ye Han a pleading look.

Ye Han took the medicine from the tray and asked, "You want me to feed it to you?"

"I don't want to drink anymore, I want to vomit." Yun Qin clenched his teeth, looked at her with a threatening gaze, and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes: "From a distance, I said, you don't need to drink, and she doesn't want to drink, so I wronged you."

Yun Qin sighed, and obediently continued drinking. What kind of sin was this!?

On the morning of the second day, Yun Qin crept out of Qing Yao's room. Looking left and right, she approached the door and saw a maid guarding the door. She called her servant and asked: "Where is Wen Le?"

Madam, Wen Gongzi went to the kitchen.

Just as she expected, Qing Yao, this lazy pig, was still sleeping. She pushed her a little: "Quickly get up and drink some medicine."

"Stop messing around, let's sleep a bit more."

Yun Qin sighed, "If you don't get up, Wen Le will really bring the medicine back."

Once she said that, Qing Yao suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing Yun Qin smiling at her, she propped herself up from the bed and asked in a daze, "Why are you here?"

"The early bird gets the worm, the late bird gets to drink the medicine." Yun Qin groaned, and urged, "Get up quickly, we are going out to play."

When Qing Yao heard that she could stop drinking the medicine, she immediately became more spirited and let Yun Qin wait for her outside. She quickly changed her clothes.

The two of them sneaked out of the courtyard, and Yun Qin said: "Let's call Yi Ren over too, he's so close to suffocating in our residence, we aren't familiar with the Jiangzhou, so we can let her lead the way."

Qing Yao nodded happily. After all, it was more lively with one more person.

When they reached the courtyard that Wen Niang and the others were staying in, they saw that Yi Ren was already dressed neatly, and was squatting on the stairs to water the flowers. Seeing Yun Qin and Qing Yao, she was surprised: "Big sister Xin, Big sister Yao, why have you come?"

"We are preparing to go out to play, so we came over to ask you." Yun Qin said.

Yi Ren put down the sprinkling kettle, and said with a smile: "Then wait a moment, I'll go inside to inform mother."

The three happily went up the street. The morning market was not as lively as the afternoon. The lanterns outside the tavern were still burning, and the air was especially fresh.

Yi Ren opened his hands and took a deep breath, then said with a smile: "Big sister Xin, Big sister Yao, let me bring you guys to eat sesame seed cakes?"

"The thin and brittle ones?" Qing Yao asked, seeing Yi Ren nod, she said, "Alright, I'm hungry right now."

Just as the three were about to leave, they heard footsteps from behind them.

A group of officials with blades hanging from their waists walked over. Yi Ren saw Nie Feng among them with a glance and was slightly surprised. Could it be that something happened again?

Some of the brothers recognized Yi Ren. Seeing him standing on the street, they mocked him, "Little Nie, your little Cyan Plum is waiting for you at the side of the street."

Yi Ren ran over happily and called the constable at the front "Master". The constable laughed, and since Nie Feng was his disciple, the girl also called him Master.

"Big brother Nie Feng, where are you guys going in such a hurry?" Yi Ren walked over to Nie Feng and asked.

"There's another murder case in Jiangzhou, right by the river. I'll be leaving first." Nie Feng said.

Yi Ren nodded his head. When Yun Qin and Qing Yao heard about the murder case, they were a little curious and asked: "Does the Jiangzhou always have murder cases?"

Yi Ren shook her head, she wasn't too sure either.

"It just so happens that uncle who sells sesame seed cakes is by the river. Let's go take a look." Yi Ren said.

Yun Qin and Qing Yao nodded.

When they reached the river bank, the three of them bought some sesame seed cakes and came out of the shop. They saw that there were quite a few people gathered around the river bank.

Yun Qin and the rest squeezed past the corpse and saw that her body was swollen and pale white, obviously she had been dead for one or two days.

At this time, a people shouted out, "Isn't this the Gongzi of the Old Li Clan? During the Hundred Flowers Festival, he was even ordered to eat with the Lady Yuexin."

The surrounding people all pointed at her. Some of the women said in a shrill voice, "I've already said that that woman is not a good person. She's just a seductive fox that only knows how to seduce men!"

Nie Feng walked up to the first people and asked, "Old Uncle, are you sure?"

"Official Lord, my house is right next to his, do you think I wouldn't know him? The Li family only has such a single child. This youngest son also looks like a genius. I'm afraid this time, he'll cry until his eyes go blind! "

"Alright, then I'll ask uncle to come back with me later to be my witness statement."

Yun Qin looked at the man and saw that he did not have any visible injuries, only some strangling on his neck. Until the constable ripped his clothes off, he saw that there was a small, deep, round wound on his chest.

The constable got up and ordered: "Take them back so that they can be examined."

"Wait!" Qing Yao walked out, "There's only one here, what coroner are you looking for, let me take a look."

As she spoke, she was about to head over when she was stopped by an official.

Nie Feng saw that it was a friend of Yi Ren's, so he sent his people away.

"Miss, can you do it?"

"I have studied medicine for many years, so of course I have this bit of ability." She motioned for Nie Feng to get out of the way. Nie Feng glanced at the constable and nodded his head.

Qing Yao squatted down beside the corpse, put her index and middle finger together and touched the man's throat, then looked at the wound on his chest.

It was obvious that the move in his throat was already dead, so why did he make another move? Is he a homicidal maniac?

He saw that there were flower marks around the wound on the chest. It was obviously a sharp object that hurt people. Moreover, there were flowers on the wound, usually used by women.
