Hidden in the court

Chapter 170 Find a new way

"The strychnos nux vomica is also called the arrow poison tree or the scissors tree. Its sap is milky white and highly poisonous. But it also has certain medicinal value, and has cardiotonic, emetic, and anesthetic effects."

The old uncle closed his eyes silently. "Although my son did not study pharmacology with me, as a drug dealer, he knows this very well..."

"So he volunteered?"

"To put it bluntly, he agreed to testify in court yesterday. But when he saw that someone was able to deliver the poison to the Censorate, he no longer trusted us. He chose to die, probably to appease the murderer and keep his family safe."

After hearing what Zhao Yao said, Hu Die fell silent again.

"Your Excellency, it is not a pity for my son to die. I only ask that you must catch the murderer who caused chaos in Qingzhou with the poisonous incense and save the people of Qingzhou."

Although this was a reasonable statement, it undoubtedly hit Hu Die's heart like a heavy hammer, making her feel very uncomfortable. The more she thought about it, the more she felt incompetent and the more guilty she felt.

Zhao Yao sensed something was wrong with her, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, then took out some money and said to his uncle, "Take the man back and bury him first. We will definitely catch the murderer."

After the uncle left, the three of them sat together and began to systematically analyze the matter for the first time.

"First of all, we just arrived in Qingzhou. The most problematic ones are these temples, but after we caught the monks in these temples, we followed these monks to Wangchun Tower, where they also used that kind of incense. The third floor of Wangchun Tower sold fake goods and accumulated money. And they never made first-hand transactions, but after we went to the warehouse for the first time, the silver was transferred. The fake paintings were also sold out at once before the second visit to the warehouse. When we went to the warehouse, the drug dealer was so frightened that he gave away Wang Xie that night. But when we turned around, the people in Wangchun Tower had run away...

These are the things that are incomprehensible. The subsequent denials by the drug dealers, including suicide and even the spies in the Censorate, can all be explained. The only thing is that Wangchunlou's operation, as a third party, is like predicting our actions, which is unreasonable. "

Seeing that the two were silent, Ji Mingshang continued, "We need evidence against Wang Xie now, but there is none. We can't catch the spy from the Censorate. We can't find anyone from Wangchunlou. We don't even have 20 people available. How can we handle this? We can't just push it aside like I did before, without even a charge."

After discussing for an entire afternoon, nothing came of it. Ji Mingshang was so thirsty from talking that his mouth was dry, but there was still no response.

The three of them returned to the Censorate, but fortunately Rowling brought some news.

"I wrote to Dad when you started investigating these poisonous incense. Dad and His Majesty have discussed it. Their meaning is: 'You can do it yourself.'"

Everyone looked at the piece of paper and fell into deep thought. Isn't it the same as not saying anything? Why bother?

Hu Die, Luo Lin and Su Mengyang only thought of this as a test. However, Ji Mingshang did have some ideas.

It would be really difficult for me to figure it out on my own. Although I am not good at finding evidence, I am good at making it up.

Everyone looked at each other. The case became more complicated and confusing. This was just the tip of the iceberg, and the truth was far from being fully revealed. However, Ji Mingshang couldn't hold back his laughter.

The moonlight is hazy and the stars are sparse.

The night was like a huge black curtain, covering Qingzhou City. In this quiet night, two figures quietly appeared in the corner of a house. They were Ji Mingshang and Hu Die. Their eyes met, revealing a hint of firmness and determination.

"Old Hu, extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures. I just don't believe this guy has no record of corruption or bribery."

Ji Mingshang whispered, a sly look in his eyes.

Hu Die took a deep breath and said, "This is a huge governor's mansion with such tight security. We will split up tonight. But we need to be careful. We can't find him and we can't be discovered."

"it is good……"

The lights in the governor's mansion were bright and the guards were patrolling closely. Ji Mingshang and Hu Die, taking advantage of the cover of the night and the bricks and tiles, quietly avoided the guards' search like two cats walking at night and came to a rockery in the backyard.

With this kind of guarding force, Ji Mingshang would not believe you if you said there was nothing here. However, he did not intend to go to great lengths to look for it. He came here today to "present evidence."

Hu Die didn't know what he was thinking, and was still groping on the other side. Suddenly, she discovered the secret of the rockery in the yard. She carefully moved the rocks of the rockery, and actually revealed a narrow hole. Without thinking too much, she went in and walked along the winding passage. The air in the cave was moist and turbid. Not long after walking, she came to the end of the passage. In front of her was a tightly closed wooden door. She gently pushed the wooden door open, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she knew that she had come to the study of Governor Wang.

The study was filled with bookshelves filled with all kinds of classics. Fortunately, the lights were off and no one was there.

Hu Die quickly searched the bookshelf, keeping an eye on the movements outside from time to time.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard. Hu Die's heart tightened and she quickly jumped onto the beam.

Several guards walked to the door, but did not come in, nor did they find anything unusual. After they left, Hu Die breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down again, and began to search.

At the same time, Ji Mingshang went to Wang Xie's room and found that the old man was not there yet. He found a place to hide the accounts he had written. He was going to go back to find Hu Die and run away. He only needed to search here tomorrow and find the accounts he had written.

Suddenly there was a noise at the door, and Ji Mingshang was so scared that he immediately rolled under the bed.

"Master, is it you?"

The person who came in was a woman, who seemed to be Wang Xie's wife. Ji Mingshang was a little scared, and it looked like she was going to sit directly on the bed. If she stayed there and didn't leave, it would be troublesome.

As expected, the man lay down and didn't move. What's more terrible is that after a while, Wang Xie also came in.

"lady…"

The worst thing was that the bed board above my head slowly started to make noises...

Hu Die was still searching in the study when she heard footsteps behind her. Without hesitation, she turned around and threw a punch, but she missed and was strangled instead.
