The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 330: Poisoning the Poison King

In the Dali Temple, Liang Hongkai and Shao Kun sat opposite each other.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

They both sighed in unison, looked at each other, and then quickly looked away.

After a moment, their eyes met again.

"Master Liang, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Master Shao, this is what I should say to you."

"You are from the Dali Temple."

"You're still from the Ministry of Justice!"

After arguing for a few sentences, the two stared at each other in silence, which eventually turned into a deep sigh.

"I'm powerless in this case. Who could have dug a tunnel inside the emperor's study and even hidden dozens of wanted criminals inside? The answer is obvious."

They suspected and investigated, but because they didn't find any clues, they pointed the finger at that person.

There was bitterness on the corners of their mouths. The investigation of the case led to the emperor. It was not that they did not dare to continue investigating, but the border was in turmoil and they could not investigate further.

The enemy country suddenly announced that it had stolen the new seeds of Longyuan Kingdom. Now that a good harvest has been achieved, when peace and prosperity are restored, it will surely remember the grudges between the two countries and intend to attack Longyuan Kingdom.

"But what if it's not His Majesty?"

"That's even more terrifying. He was able to avoid even the heavily guarded imperial guards. I can't imagine who he is."

Shao Kun suddenly paused, "There really is such a person."

Liang Hongkai's expression froze for a moment, then turned solemn again. "Are you talking about that person...?"

Shao Kun took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

The two men looked at each other in bewilderment. This was even more horrifying than if the emperor was the one who started it.

Liang Hongkai rubbed his brows and changed the subject, "Did the Ghost-faced Judge find out?"

Shao Kun replied with a look of how could it be possible, "The Ministry of Justice has been chasing him for so long and still can't find him. Can they find him in the next few days?"

"What about the deaths of the concubines and ten officials?"

"A concubine died tragically in an ice cellar, yet she held the key to the tunnel beneath the imperial study. Do you think this was really the work of the Ghost-Faced Judge?"

Liang Hongkai was silent for a moment before saying coldly, "It seems more like someone familiar with the Ghost-Faced Judge's ways framed him."

"Feel the same."

"But we need to catch the real culprit."

"Keep investigating! What else can we do?"

“You check!”

"Haha! You check."

The two of them once again became cross-eyed. They were both in the same boat, so why bother making things difficult for each other?

-------------------------------------------------- ----

Far away at the border, Lu Qingchen always stayed by Qin Miaoxi's side to heal her injuries, and her injuries recovered faster than he had imagined.

But he also started to talk too much, chattering endlessly every day, and Qin Miaoxi's ears were almost callused from listening to him.

"Now that your injury is under control, you only need to take pills every day."

"Woo woo! Wife, the pills are too bitter. Can't you make me some sugar pills?"

Qin Miaoxi roared, unable to bear it any longer, "Don't push your luck."

He has been feeling unwell these days and has developed severe drug excretion. Every time he drinks the medicine, he vomits violently and even vomits bile.

She had no choice but to grind the herbs into pills, but it took a lot of effort to ensure the efficacy of the pills.

After finally making the pills, this fussy guy complained about it. Doesn’t he know that adding anything else will affect the efficacy of the pills?

It really makes me want to bite his crying and shameless face into pieces.

"Wife~"

Lu Qingchen's voice choked, and he immediately put on a grief-stricken expression, "Do you dislike me now? Do you not like me anymore?"

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

When did she say she was used to him?

"Woo woo! You don't like me, and my mother-in-law doesn't like me either. Do you, the Qin family, want to return me? I'm telling you, I absolutely won't agree. Once a wife, always a husband. Even if I die, I will be buried in your Qin family's ancestral tomb."

Lu Qingchen's righteous roar and disobedient nonsense are still very pleasing to the eye.

Qin Miaoxi looked up at the sky speechlessly: "You are not marrying into the family."

"You are the daughter of the Regent of Yanhuang Country. When you return to Yanhuang Country, you will have a new identity. What if you abandon your husband?"

Lu Qingchen rubbed his hands nervously, "Anyway, I'm marrying into your Qin family now. If you dare to abandon me, I will..."

"How would you like?"

"I will spread the news of your philandering and fickle behavior throughout the world, and let everyone know that I am the most miserable man."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

As expected, one shouldn't have too much hope for this guy. She stood up and left angrily, and the door slammed loudly.

Lu Qingchen stared blankly at the door, pursing his lips. He said in a cold voice, "Sir, please come out!"

A black shadow flashed before his eyes, and suddenly the Poison King Xiao Yan stood in front of him, staring at him intently with a pair of gloomy eyes.

Lu Qingchen was secretly on guard, with cold sweat already covering his back. He had just sensed Xiao Yan's breath, which was why he drove Qin Miaoxi away with nonsense.

"Senior Poison King, how are you? Did you come here specifically to poison me?"

Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but looked at him with a deep gaze, and suddenly a stream of poisonous gas sprayed towards his face.

Lu Qingchen quickly stepped back and angrily asked, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"

Although he was saying this, the long sword behind him had already flown out of his hand and flew towards him at lightning speed.

"You little brat!"

Xiao Yan stretched out his dark hands and grabbed his neck with lightning speed.

"You think I dare not kill you?"

Lu Qingchen was defeated by the enemy in one move, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he looked at him calmly and said, "Senior, if you wanted to kill me, you could have poisoned me months ago, but you didn't. I guess you have other intentions."

Xiao Yan laughed heartily, "You are indeed a clever boy. I will put the poison in Qin Miaoxi's food."

"impossible."

Lu Qingchen refused without hesitation, "If you want to kill me, kill me. If you dare to touch my wife, I will kill you at all costs."

Xiao Yan seemed shocked by his words, his eyes constantly wandering over him.

"You love her very much?"

"Of course, if I don't love my wife, how could I love you?"

"why?"

"There's no reason for that. I just like it."

Xiao Yan paused for a moment, "So you are willing to do anything for her?"

"Yes, even if it means death."

Lu Qingchen's light-hearted promise drew a sneer from the other party, "Love or not, it's not something you can just say with your mouth."

After saying that, Xiao Yan stuffed a pill into his mouth.

At the same time, he felt a piercing pain on the back of his hand.

"What did you just do to me?"

Xiao Yan grabbed his neck fiercely and questioned him, the black color on the back of his hand visible to the naked eye was moving towards his heart.

Lu Qingchen smiled palely, "Senior, you are good at using poison, so you must have heard of Gu worms! I have poisoned you with a mother-child Gu, and the mother worm is in my wife. If my wife is injured, you will suffer ten points; if she dies, you will not survive alone."

Xiao Yan calmly widened his eyes, "You actually...!"
