After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

"Threatening letter?"

Lin Shuning leaned back on the cushion and smiled disdainfully: "What era is this? You're still using threatening letters. How childish."

Chen Zhao was concentrating on driving the carriage and didn't hear clearly what Lin Shuning said. He asked, "Miss San, what did you say?"

"Nothing." Lin Shuning closed his eyes and took a nap, remaining silent.

The carriage did not return to Prince Rui's Mansion, but drove directly to the Dali Temple. About half an hour later, Lin Shuning heard Chen Zhao's voice: "Miss San, we are here."

"Yeah." Lin Shuning opened his eyes, straightened his clothes, got off the carriage, and followed Chen Zhao into the Dali Temple.

The Dali Temple governs all the government offices under the capital. If any place encounters any difficult cases, they will be transferred here and handled by the people from the Dali Temple. Because they investigate the highest level cases, the rules and regulations here are very strict.

Lin Shuning personally watched Chen Zhao present the token no less than ten times before he was able to pass through layers of inspection and enter the prison.

The temperature in the dungeon is very low. Even if it is scorching hot outside, the dungeon is as cold as an ice cellar.

Lin Shuning couldn't help but shiver, and he tucked his head into his collar, blowing on his hands from time to time.

If I had known this, I would have worn more clothes.

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, a still warm crane cloak was suddenly draped over her body, and then a hot water bottle was stuffed into her hand.

Lin Shuning looked up and saw Jiang Yu looking at her deeply, with a faint smile on his lips. His deep voice fell into her ears like drumbeats: "You are well disguised today, but you are wearing too little."

? !

Lin Shuning opened his lips slightly, feeling extremely shocked.

Did he see through all this? Weren't there two old men standing next to him just now?

Could it be that he is the reincarnation of Sun Wukong, and he really has the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils? !

Lin Shuning pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, revealing an ugly smile.

Well, total defeat.

It was such a waste that she got up so early and didn't even have time to sleep in. If she had known this, she wouldn't have argued with him.

Jiang Yu, who was being criticized at the side, inadvertently raised the corners of his lips, and his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed, looking like he was in a good mood.

Chen Zhao didn't notice the changes in the expressions of the two people at all. Instead, he lifted the white cloth covering the body and said with a worried look on his face, "Miss San, are you scared? This person was hanged to death. His tongue is so long that it's creepy to look at it."

Lin Shuning raised her eyebrows. There were only three of them here and no outsiders, so she didn't need to pretend to be an old man. She strode over, put the medicine box in her hand aside, and then tore off the white cloth.

The tongue was indeed stretched out, and the death was indeed horrific, but our newly appointed Chief Coroner Lin's expression did not change at all. She skillfully put on gloves, took out tools, and immediately began the autopsy.

Jiang Yu's eyes fell on her, gradually becoming deep. Chen Zhao, on the other hand, squatted beside her with a curious look on his face, looking here and there, jumping up and down: "Miss San, why haven't I seen gloves like the ones you wear before? They are as thin as cicada wings and as fine as gossamer. They are really unique."

While checking it, Lin Shuning replied, "I developed this myself. If you like it, I can sell you a few pairs. Ten taels of silver for each pair."

"So expensive?" Chen Zhao said angrily, "I'd better not use it."

After all, his monthly salary is only fifty taels. Although the master is rich, he is not generous to everyone.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhao looked at Jiang Yu sadly.

Jiang Yu didn't even spare him a glance, but instead focused on watching Lin Shuning's busy figure, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This man had been dead for nearly twelve hours, and dark green corpse spots had already appeared on his body. Perhaps because the temperature in this dungeon was too low, there was no peculiar smell, and it had a certain preservation effect. There were deep eight-character marks on his neck, and the lines were clear and regular. It was obvious that the deceased had hanged himself.

Lin Shuning walked around according to the procedure and found that there were no other fatal injuries on the rest of his body.

Finally, she checked the man's eyelids, lips, fingertips, and soles of his feet, and then took off his gloves.

"How is it?" Jiang Yu asked.

"It was suicide, but not pure suicide."

Lin Shuning threw away the gloves, looked at Jiang Yu, and said calmly: "This person was poisoned before he died. There is a kind of poison called Broken Throat Grass. After taking this poison, there will be no abnormalities within three days.

But once this time is exceeded, the poisoned person will feel unbearable pain in the throat. In order to relieve this symptom, the poisoned person will scratch with his hands. Look at the marks on his neck, there are many scratching marks. "

Chen Zhao hurried forward to check, and said in a surprised tone: "My Lord, it really is there. I thought it was because his neck was strangled and he scratched it subconsciously when he struggled."

"The person who poisoned you knew you would have this thought, so he used this method. If you look closely, you will find that some of the scratches below the marks have already scabbed over. The poison is so powerful that it will only explode on the tenth day. At this time, the poisoned person will often choose to commit suicide because he can no longer bear it, and after death, there will be no symptoms of poisoning."

After Lin Shuning finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "I have only seen this poison in medical books. This person must have put in a lot of effort to find this poison. Maybe he is the same person who poisoned you in the first place."

Jiang Yu's face was gloomy, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking: "Then can I understand that I only need to investigate those who had contact with him ten days ago?"

"Correct."

"My Lord," Chen Zhao seemed to remember something, his expression was worried, "We only arrested this official seven days ago, which means he had contact with many people ten days ago. If we investigate, it will be very difficult."

"Where was he ten days ago?" Jiang Yu asked with a gloomy face.

"He has been staying at his house, but I have already sent people to guard him. No one else has been in or out of his house these days. Could it be that his family poisoned him?" Chen Zhao was a little unbelievable. "He has a legitimate wife and four concubines in his house. On weekdays, this official has the most contact with the fourth concubine. It seems that this is because the fourth concubine is his new favorite and has just been brought into the house, so he loves her especially hard."

"This doesn't prove that the poison was given by the fourth room. The three days left are enough for him to come into contact with all the concubines and servants in the mansion." Jiang Yu's eyes changed and he said in a deep voice.

"This is easy," Lin Shuning said calmly, "Take me with you, I can recognize who poisoned you. The poison contains a spice that sticks to the skin and won't dissipate for a month. Ordinary people can't smell it, but it's not difficult for doctors who deal with medicinal herbs all year round to smell it."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Then please come with us again."

Lin Shuning waved his hand: "It's not hard, not hard."

Then she stretched out two fingers, waved them in front of Jiang Yu, and showed a little fox-like smile.

With her cunning starry eyes and smiling lips, even the old man's outfit could not hide her beauty.

Jiang Yu's heart trembled for a moment, and he couldn't help but smile and pressed her finger down: "Two hundred taels, I promise you."

The hot palm brushed across the back of her hand, and Lin Shuning couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in her heart, making her feel slightly itchy. But when she turned around and heard the man's promise of two hundred taels of silver, she didn't care about anything else, and laughed even more happily, and even her steps as she walked out were much more cheerful.

Jiang Yu followed her closely, his eyes fixed on her but never moving away for a moment.

Chen Zhao followed the two people and felt vaguely that something seemed to have changed, but if he was asked to explain exactly what had changed, he didn't know where to start.

In short, his master seems to dote on the third young lady too much!

When they walked out of the prison, the three of them bumped into Gu Wen who came to greet them. Lin Shuning didn't know who he was, but when she saw him, she immediately got into the role of an old man, hunching her waist and back, and even walking unsteadily.

Gu Wen's face was filled with surprise that could not be concealed. Was he seeing things?

His Royal Highness Prince Rui actually stared at an old man with such a burning gaze. Could it be that this old man had some extraordinary qualities that he didn't know about?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Shuning several more times.

With such enthusiastic attention, Lin Shuning became more motivated and performed even harder.

Jiang Yu just looked at her with a faint smile in his eyes.

The only true VIP audience lived up to everyone's expectations. In the end, they were certain that he was just an ordinary old man, and he was very old, with bad legs and waist.

He turned his head, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Jiang Yu glanced at him and responded indifferently.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, where are you going?" Gu Wen couldn't help but ask when he saw the carriage ready outside the door.

Chen Zhao replied from behind him: "Master Gu, you may not know that we have just found out that the official was poisoned before committing suicide. It was this poison that forced him to commit suicide, so we are preparing to go to the official's house to investigate."

"So that's how it is. I won't bother you any more then." Gu Wen made way for him and bowed respectfully.

"Let's go." Jiang Yu said.

Lin Shuning smacked her lips and moved forward at an extremely slow pace, like a snail. When Gu Wen's figure completely disappeared at the end of the road, she straightened up and got into the carriage in a few steps like a cat.

Jiang Yu also lowered his body and squeezed in, and Chen Zhao once again acted as the coachman.

In the spacious carriage, Lin Shuning and Jiang Yu looked at each other, and their breathing stagnated for a moment.
