After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

As the New Year approaches, Kyoto becomes more and more lively.

Jiang Hao was busy between the Jiang Mansion and Prince Ning's Mansion, and before he knew it, the second and third rooms had already moved out.

She was clearing the obstacles for Ji Zixuan in advance.

There were too many dirty things going on in the backyard, and there was no guarantee that some people would have evil intentions towards Ji Zixuan one day. In order to prevent future troubles, it would be easier to drive them out.

On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Hengshan sent an invitation to Jiang Hao, inviting her to Zuixianlou for a chat.

Also traveling with them was Xu Xing.

When Xiao Hengshan saw the two people arrive, he warmly invited them to take a seat, personally poured tea for them, and then asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

"Sir Xiao, the New Year is coming to an end, and the government should be the busiest time. How come you still have time to treat us to a meal?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hengshan quickly said, "It's still the previous case."

The only case involving them was the one of poisoning and murder to silence the witnesses.

Jiang Hao put down his teacup, raised his eyes and asked, "Why, have you found the murderer?"

Since the case was transferred to the Dali Temple, Xiao Hengshan has always attached great importance to it. But the old man Qi is a lonely man, living and eating in Zuixianlou. He searched his residence but did not find a few taels of silver, let alone other clues.

"No clue at all."

Xiao Hengshan was also in a state of headache: "After the coroner performed the autopsy, the old man simply stabbed his neck with a knife, leaving no clues."

"The people in the kitchen asked several times, but no one saw him interacting with strangers."

"As for the poison, the roaster said that a customer that day thought the roast duck tasted good and had never eaten such delicious roast duck before, and he insisted on seeing him, so he left for a while."

"That guest was the fourth master of the Jiang residence. I personally went to record his statement, and it was consistent with what the roaster said..."

"Wait, who are you talking about?"

Jiang Hao interrupted Xiao Hengshan: "Jiang Huaiyi?"

"Ah, that's him."

Xiao Hengshan nodded: "Lord Jiang hosted a banquet, and the guest thought it was delicious, so he wanted to reward him, so he asked the roaster to come."

"Do you know who that person is?"

"Lord Jiang only said that the colleague who went back to Beijing to report on his work has already returned to the local area."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao and Xu Xing looked at each other at the same time, and had some vague guesses in their hearts.

Such a coincidence?

not necessarily.

"Prince, County Lady, I'm afraid this case is a headless one."

Xiao Hengshan came here today just for this matter: "Before the New Year, all the cases in the government office, big and small, must be counted. Those that should be closed should be closed, those that should be shelved should be shelved, and those that should be sealed should be sealed, so..."

"I understand Lord Xiao's difficulties. It's okay."

Jiang Haoxiaoxiao.

Xiao Hengshan felt slightly relieved. He was afraid that Princess Jiahe would be dissatisfied and Prince Xu would also be unhappy, and that the case would not be solved.

Since the two of them don't have much idea about this unsolved case, they will put it aside for the time being but not seal it. They will continue the investigation when they have time next year.

Anyone who dares to poison the county lady must be of high status.

The food is served.

The roast duck was given by the shopkeeper. It was freshly baked and the aroma was fragrant.

However, the three people at the dinner table were all terrified of duck, especially Lord Xiao. So, after the meal, the plate of roast duck was completely cold and no one touched it.

After dinner, the three of them went their separate ways.

After Xu Xing and Jiang Hao got into the carriage, Jiang Hao said, "That day, I got a hint from Jiang Hong that Jiang Huaiyi was secretly the King of Qi's man."

If he was the King of Qi's man, then the speculation that he sent the roaster away that day in Zuixianlou and created an opportunity for Old Man Qi would be valid.

Everything pointed to the King of Qi.
