Yesterday, Qu Ling met Huo Xinyi at the South Wind House's back door, and Huo Xinyi spread the news of Qu Ling going to the noodle house. That night, she went to the South Wind House 'back door, and the cause of death was poison, and there was a "Jiang" written on the side of the corpse with her blood.

From the looks of it, this matter seemed to be related to Qu Ling.

Qu Ling was so angry that his brain was bulging. Gritting his teeth, he said, "If I find out which bastard did it, I will definitely throw him into the Hundred Insect Lake to feed the bugs!"

Xiao Jingyue splashed her with cold water ruthlessly, "You should think about how to wash away this suspicion first."

Qu Ling usually liked to play the fool, but he was not really a fool. Upon hearing Xiao Jingyue's words, he immediately snorted: "I didn't go out since returning home yesterday morning, so if I have any suspicions, Xiao Yi will definitely be held responsible."

Xiao Yi was taking a nap outside the study. "…"

Xiao Jingyue got up and walked out of the study, "This general will be making a trip to the Caoital Officials Palace.

Of course Qu Ling had to go. Not only did she want to go, she also wanted to ruthlessly beat up that bastard who plotted against her.

The two of them walked out of the study room one after another. Xiao Jingyue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

She puzzledly raised her head, only to see Xiao Jingyue turning around and expressionlessly looking down at her, "Go and wash your face first."

Qu Ling, "..."

Without waiting for Qu Ling to go find water, Xiao Yi appeared in front of her with a basin of clear water.

Qu Ling was emotionally moved, "Thank you."

"Madam is too polite." Xiao Yi smiled as he thought to himself, "Seeing that I've given you water to wash your face today, you'll be favored in the future. Please don't try to get even with me yesterday."

Qu Ling looked into the water above the basin and saw that the left side of his face was covered with ink and it was dark.

It was no wonder that Xiao Jingyue could not tolerate it.

rode on the horse. When she rode on the carriage to Caoital Officials Palace, Xiao Jingyue had already sat down and started drinking warm tea.

Speaking of which, Qu Ling had some connections with the Caoital Officials Palace.

In the past few years that Qu Ling was brought back to the capital by the Prime Minister Jiang, every time he went out on the streets, he would create some trouble, either by making the person cry or by scaring the person unconscious. As a local official, naturally the Caoital Officials couldn't do nothing about it.

The old and the young had fought with their wits and courage for many years, so they were already very familiar with each other.

Qu Ling greeted the Caoital Officials listlessly: "Old Man Li, long time no see."

Ever since her South Wind House was established, she rarely brought poisonous bugs and scorpions with her as she roamed the streets.

Since the two of them had not caused much trouble, it was only natural that their chances of meeting each other would be miniscule.

Dressed in a dark blue official's attire, the pot-bellied Caoital Officials cupped his hands and bowed towards Qu Ling: "Mrs. Xiao."

What Mrs. Xiao, who is Xiao Jingyue's wife! Qu Ling glared at Caoital Officials in displeasure and asked sinisterly: "Where is Huo Xinyi's corpse?"

Caoital Officials was used to Qu Ling's attitude, he laughed out loud and said: "In the mortuary, the coroner is there to watch."

Qu Ling was familiar with the Caoital Officials Palace, so there was no need for the servants to bring him around. When he walked towards the morgue, from start to finish, he did not even glance at Xiao Jingyue, who was seated on the main seat.

The Caoital Officials watched as Qu Ling left, then turned around and said to Xiao Jingyue: "General, do you want to go together with me?"

Xiao Jingyue looked up, and suddenly asked: "Master Li, do you know this general's wife?"

As a local official, I have interacted with the Mrs. Xiao a few times. The Caoital Officials said calmly.

Xiao Jingyue did not ask further, he stood up and walked out, "Lead the way."

The so-called "morgue" was actually just a room. Inside the house, there was nothing but a few old mats.

Thus, the cause of death was related to the Madam the Grand Marshal's wife. The Caoital Officials did not dare underestimate her and sent several famous coroners to examine her.

When Xiao Jingyue stepped into the morgue, Qu Ling was squatting next to the corpse. The four coroners were standing beside her, looking at the female corpse on the ground.

Qu Ling rubbed the corpse for a while, then raised his eyebrows, as though he was thinking about something.

Xiao Jingyue frowned, and looked at Qu Ling with some displeasure, but did not say anything to disturb him.

On the other hand, the pot-bellied Caoital Officials walked to Qu Ling's side, and asked with a kind expression: "Mrs. Xiao, did you find anything?"

Qu Ling raised his head, stared at Caoital Officials's fat face for a while, then nodded and shook his head.

Just as Caoital Officials wanted to ask more, Qu Ling waved and stood up. He looked at the four coroners and asked Caoital Officials: "Will the corpses be brought to the memorial hall?"

The Caoital Officials shook his head, "The rules are that those who do not solve the case will have to wait for three days before they can be transferred to the memorial hall."

"Then what about South Wind House?"

"According to the rules, the company needs to temporarily close its business. Only when the case is closed and it is confirmed that it is innocent will it be reopened."

Hearing that, Qu Ling said that he would come again tomorrow, and then said his goodbyes to Caoital Officials, and left the Caoital Officials Palace.

"What did you find?" Xiao Jingyue asked after following her out of the Caoital Officials Palace.

Qu Ling thought for a while, then said: "Huo Xinyi was indeed poisoned to death by people, and the poison was Red Crane Peak, so it's not that hard to find. Furthermore, she is dressed well and there are no traces of struggle on her body. The poison should have been drunk by herself, or in other words, was deceived. "

It was no different from what the coroner had said. Xiao Jingyue acknowledged, and asked: "Is there anything else?"

"There's more?" Qu Ling tilted her head and stared at Xiao Jingyue's face that was beyond handsome, for a while, before rolling her eyes, her beautiful and exquisite face purposely revealed a perverted smile, and she said while rubbing her fists: "Let me touch it, I will tell you."
