After a long time, it was already pitch-black outside. I also started to exhale, when Guo Jia suddenly said, "Zheng Jiejie has woken up!"

When I regained my spirit, I immediately looked over. "Zheng Jiejie, are you awake?"

"My, my hands are numb, can you untie them first?" Zheng Jiejie cried.

As I said that, I pulled out Zhan Zhao's sword.

Zheng Jiejie curled up her body in panic, "I … I really didn't see it clearly …"

"Speak!" Seeing how Zheng Jiejie refused to drink without a fight, I no longer had any patience.

"I opened a pharmacy. You know, I specialised in selling medicine. That day, after someone bought medicine from me, Second Widow Wang's child disappeared. Later, I found out from my countrymen that this child had been stolen …"

"What kind of medicine did you buy?"

"I said, I'm finished!"

"I'll speak up for you. Half a tael of Aroma Potion, half a tael of rouge and blood, three taels of Vermillion Crane Grass!" Bao Zheng threw the account book on the ground.

Seeing that, Zheng Jiejie looked like he had lost all his energy, and laid flat on the ground: "I'll say, I'll say everything! The person who came to buy the medicine was an old man with white hair and a red mole on his forehead.

"Is there such a person?" I asked Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng shook his head, "This humble official has not even seen the Scholars of Nanjing."

"To be able to concoct such a poison and to set up such a trap, how could those useless fools in the east be able to do so? They should be some travelling rangers or bandits in the martial arts world." Zhan Zhao said, "Currently, there are still many bandit's lairs in the east of the river, and these people all hate our lord, because every time our lord goes to a place, he will exterminate all the bandits' lair, including many thieves of the era."

"If they were bandits, how could they have entered the manor?" I asked.

"It was that someone had secretly made friends with someone within the Palace, or perhaps with a certain clan within the Jiangdong Scholars." Bao Zheng analyzed.

Zheng Jiejie, who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have thought of something. He said: "If I provide some clues, can you spare me?"

"Oh?" As if seeing the dawn, I immediately walked over. "What clue?"

"When that person with the red mole tied me up, I struggled with everything I had. I saw a jade plate on that person's belt." Zheng Jiejie clenched his teeth and said, "He wanted to kill me, and I did my best to pull down that plate. I remember clearly, there was the word 'King' on it."

"A jade plate represents something unexpected. Did you find anything else?" Bao Zheng said.

Zheng Jiejie seemed to have received some inspiration, and immediately said: "No, I mean, I have seen this jade plate before. In our Nanjing Red South Tower, there is a young lady, the last time I went to find this girl, I met a guest who was generous, and also had this jade plate on his waist!"

"Which girl?!" I asked quickly.

"Liu Qingqing."

That night, we went to the Red South Tower. The Red South Tower was also the biggest red house in Nanjing. This place was where nobles and officials gathered. At night, it was even more lively.

But tonight, no matter what, it won't get lively, because I had already caught Liu Qingqing and brought him back. This even caused a commotion.

Liu Qingqing released waves of wuwu sounds, as though she had already woken up. Zhan Zhao was the one who secretly brought her back.

The two of them immediately walked over, and after the two of them took off their hoods, what appeared in front of them was a furious Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing wiped away the makeup on her face and frowned, as if she was about to spew fire.

"Don't look at me like that. Right now, your little life is in my hands. If you don't say it, I will let you know what pain is!" I said indifferently.

Liu Qingqing could not believe it and immediately struggled, but her hands and feet were tied, and with a sudden mistake, the chair she was sitting on fell to the ground.

I grabbed onto Liu Qingqing's long hair and pulled out my sword, pressing it against her neck.

But this Liu Qingqing was still unwilling to speak.

At this time, Zhan Zhao suddenly brought a hot teapot over, and instantly pinched Liu Qingqing's mouth. Just as he was about to pour hot water, Liu Qingqing screamed, "Don't, don't! "No!"

I am extremely impressed by Zhan Zhao's methods, to think that he could even interrogate his like that.

"Did you say it already?" I glanced at her.

"I'm just someone who wants to sell. What do you guys want to know?"

"Liu Qingqing, did you encounter anything special this week?"

Liu Qingqing was puzzled: "What?"

I nodded towards Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao's copy of the order badge was drawn according to Zheng Jiejie's narration.

I pointed at the jade tablet and said, "Do you recognize all of these jade plates?"

"I remember, but I have to start from two months ago."

"Go ahead."

At that time, I hooked up with a rich young master. He was twenty-seven years old, so I just said a few words and fell in love with him. During that time, I didn't come out to do business. Liu Qingqing twisted his waist, the charm deep inside his bones was revealed without hesitation.

I thought to myself, This is a woman who understands men.

"This young master's name is Wang DeShun, a very old-fashioned name, but this young master's background is extraordinary. I thought that if the man in front of me truly loves me, then I would throw away my past and live with him."

I smiled, but said nothing.

"Are you making fun of me?" Liu Qingqing looked at me with her sharp eyes. "Do you think that the women who do this thing are as dirty as feces?"

"No, no, no, Liu Qingqing, you misunderstood, that was a kind smile on my face." I said, "What is Wang DeShun's background?"

Liu Qingqing coughed a little, showing her doubt. She continued: "Son of Wang Lang!"

In that instant, my mind was cleared, and I immediately spoke out: "A group of people from the mysterious sect, capture old Wang Lang for me!"

"Yes sir!"

Zhan Zhao immediately walked out, and Liu Qingqing continued to speak: "Wait, who are you?! Why did you want to capture me?! "

Bao Zheng sneered: "The lord in front of you guys is the lord of the river, the great governor of Lin Xiongtu!"

In that instant, Liu Qingqing and Zheng Jiejie were dumbstruck, their faces filled with shock as they looked at us.

The great army had moved, and not long after, they had brought Wang Lang back. Wang Lang knelt in front of me and said: "My lord, what are you doing? "I did not do anything to hide from you. What crime has this humble subject committed?"

"My lord, this is the Wang family's steward." Bao Zheng walked into the hall and pulled up a man with a mole between his eyebrows. Almost all the Wang family members were sent over.

I looked into the distance and saw a woman tied up. I said, "Who is she?"

Half a year ago, Wang Lang had recommended his own Queen of Justice, Xue'er, to serve her husband. Wang Xue'er is as beautiful as a flower, but when her husband rejected her offer, he treated her as his servant, and never expected that this Wang Xue'er would actually poison Qing Huan, Qingyue and Yue'er. She also killed Yun'er's teacher, Mister Shi, and she even used the chance to place our Yun'er in a wooden bucket that they prepared beforehand. Zhen Mi walked over at this time.

At this time, Zhen Mi's face was filled with rage. It seemed like she knew the sequence of events in the case, the gentle and amiable appearance from before had already disappeared, and she was now an angry mother!
