The willow leaves are slowly

Chapter 31 What did they go through?

Ye Hansheng walked slowly closer and protected Liu Qingyin behind him.

"This must be Ye Hansheng from the Shadow Pavilion, Mr. Ye, right?"

"Is it over so soon?" Liu Qingyin poked him and asked quietly.

"Well, it's not complicated at all." Ye replied coldly.

The two of them started chatting with each other, completely ignoring Mo Chen's existence.

"Ahem," Mo Chen coughed twice awkwardly to indicate that he was still here.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" came a thin, high-pitched eunuch's voice.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Ye Hansheng and Mo Chen knelt down to pay their respects. Seeing this, Liu Qingyin also knelt down hurriedly and hid behind Ye Hansheng to reduce her presence.

"Keep your voice down! You're almost deafening me!" The prince frowned and said to the eunuch next to him, "I've told you so many times. If you don't remember, I'll replace you!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. Your Highness, please forgive me. I know I was wrong." The little eunuch replied in panic.

"Please stand up quickly, please stand up quickly!" The prince stretched out his hand to signal them to stand up.

"Achen, why don't you wait for me?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled when he saw Mo Chen.

"Your Highness, it took you a long time to change your clothes. I was worried that Your Majesty would be anxious, so I came here to report. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

"It's okay, it's okay, Ah Chen, you don't have to do this." The prince glanced at the eunuch next to him, "They insisted on dressing me in such a complicated way."

The young eunuchs shrank back.

Liu Qingyin was speechless. This prince... was really humble.

"A Sheng, when did you come back? You didn't even inform me." The prince looked friendly and seemed to have a good relationship with Ye Hansheng.

"Your Highness, I just returned to the capital a few days ago and dealt with some matters within the cabinet, which delayed me for a few days."

"Father asked you to come here to handle the human pig case?" The prince's expression turned serious.

"Yes," Ye Han replied.

"Ah Sheng must do his best to solve the case as soon as possible. Such a tragic case happened in the important capital, under the feet of the emperor. The people are in a state of panic all day long. This palace is really worried."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to be in much better shape."

"Yes, thanks to Ah Chen. By the way, let me introduce you. This is Mo Chen, the Gu doctor who treats my body. You are all my close friends. You must get along well with each other in the future."

"Master Ye of the Shadow Pavilion, how could you not know my identity? I'm afraid you know exactly what color my underwear is."

"This Mo Chen's weird skills are on par with Ye Hansheng's." Liu Qingyin thought.

"Ye is not interested in Mr. Mo's underwear, Mr. Mo, there is no need to panic."

"I have an important case to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes care of himself. I'll visit you in the East Palace when I have time." Ye Hansheng bowed and took his leave. Liu Qingyin followed him quietly. It was better for her to remain invisible in the high-end game of the big guys.

"Miss Liu, I'll take you to visit Beijing when I have time!" Mo Chen shouted from behind.

"Don't cue! Can't this guy see that I want to be invisible?!" Liu Qingyin muttered to herself.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mo. When we get to the capital, I will take her on a tour!" Ye Hansheng said this without even turning his head, then pulled Liu Qingyin and walked faster.

"Slow down, slow down, if you go any faster we will take off."

After leaving the palace, Ye Hansheng slowed down, "Stay away from Mo Chen from now on."

Liu Qingyin looked up at his serious expression and said, "Shengsheng seems to dislike him very much."

"People in Southern Xinjiang are good at using Gu, and those who use Gu respect the Gu Tomb. Mo Chen is a top Gu master in the Gu Tomb, with good medical skills and even better at poisoning. He was invited to treat the prince several times before, but he refused to come. He must have an ulterior motive for coming this time."

"Poison, neither you nor Liuyun can cure it?"

Ye Hansheng shook his head: "Generally, the poison can be cured, but if this person takes action, Liuyun and I will not be completely sure."

"Ah? Then let him stay in the palace? What if he assassinates Your Majesty and the Crown Prince?" Liu Qingyin said in horror.

"No, Southern Xinjiang and Dongling have been friends for generations, and the Queen of Southern Xinjiang is the sister of His Majesty. This time, Mo Chen took the initiative to ask for permission to treat His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and followed the Southern Xinjiang envoy into Dongling. He must have other purposes and would never assassinate him."

"I see. But the prince looks healthy. What disease does he have that requires treatment from a Gu doctor? Has he been poisoned? No way?" Liu Qingyin asked curiously with eyes wide open.

Ye Hansheng looked at her in silence for a moment, and said meaningfully: "Ayin, you will know it later."

Liu Qingyin's face was full of suspicion. "I suddenly don't want to know anymore. Just pretend I didn't ask."

"You must stay away from this person!" Ye Hansheng patted Liu Qingyin's head and said again.

"Is this an order from your superior? Or is it advice from a friend? Or... " Liu Qingyin raised her eyebrows.

"Or what?"

"Or is it the wish of the pursuer?" Liu Qingyin tilted her head and looked at him jokingly.

Ye Hansheng leaned over, slowly approached her, stared into her sparkling eyes and said, "Whatever Ah Yin feels, that's it."

Liu Qingyin stretched out her finger and tapped his forehead, saying, "Shengsheng is really good at Tai Chi."

"What is Tai Chi?"

"Tai Chi gives birth to two opposites, two opposites give birth to four symbols, four symbols give birth to eight trigrams. The harmony of yin and yang is the source of change. This is an ancient secret technique. You mortals should not try to pry into the secret." Liu Qingyin pretended to be mysterious and ran away towards the carriage.

Ministry of Justice, morgue.

"Gah ah!!!" Liu Qingyin was mentally prepared, but after seeing the corpse, she still couldn't help but vomit.

Ye Hansheng patted her back and said, "Ayin, it's better for you to wait in the carriage."

Liu Qingyin waved her hand: "I'll be there soon, don't worry, just focus on the autopsy and don't worry about me, I'll come find you later." She patted her chest and took a deep breath.

"Okay, Ayin's reaction is normal. Don't force it. He will be fine once he gets used to it."

Liu Qingyin nodded, and Ye Hansheng entered the morgue again.

After a pause, she mustered up the courage to walk in. Ye Hansheng was carefully examining the two bodies. The Minister of Justice and the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture stood respectfully beside them. The coroner of the Ministry of Justice was explaining the autopsy results in detail.

"Both deceased were around 20 years old. They had paralytic and hallucinogenic intoxicating flowers in their bodies. They were completely purified intoxicating flowers, and their effects were more than a hundred times stronger than normal ones."

"From the perspective of the knife marks, they cut themselves. Only their right hands and arms were cut off by others. The knife marks on their right hands and arms are very neat. The murderer is skilled, very strong, and the blade is extremely sharp."

"The murderer is good at using a knife and is very familiar with the human body structure." Liu Qingyin analyzed.

The coroner nodded: "What the girl said makes sense."

"Also, there is one more thing, they..." The coroner hesitated.

"Speak!" Ye Hansheng raised his eyes and looked at the coroner.

"They were all poisoned," the coroner frowned, "poisoning caused by taking a large amount of tobacco paste at one time."

"It's the tobacco paste again!" Liu Qingyin frowned and clenched her fists, her fingertips turning white.

She stepped forward to observe the two bodies. One of them had a red mole on its neck. "Hallucinations, poisoning, and self-slashing. What did they experience before they died?"

"Sir Liu, have there been any missing persons cases recently?" Ye asked coldly.

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Liu Gong bowed and replied, "My lord, no one has been reported missing recently."

"All cases involving women in their 20s in the past three months, no matter how big or small, were compiled into a brief report and sent to the Shadow Office."

"The mayors of each street and alley shall submit their diaries for the past three months to the Shadow Pavilion."

"Yes!" Liu Gong replied.

"Minister Li."

"I'm here!" Li Ziyuan, the Minister of Justice, bowed and replied.

"The body has been sent to the Yingge Pavilion. The coroner from the Ministry of Justice will be temporarily transferred to the Yingge Pavilion and will come back after the case is closed!"

"Wei Chen obeys!"

"I obey your command!" the white-haired coroner Bai Rongshan replied respectfully.

"Shengsheng, what does a street chief do?" Liu Qingyin asked quietly.

Ye Hansheng gave her some popular science. To put it in today's terms, the street chief is like a "surveillance camera", equivalent to the director of the neighborhood committee. They are responsible for all matters in the area. Some things will not be brought to the government office, so they will be handled at the street chief's home. The street chief's log records what usually happens in the area.

Shadow Pavilion, inside Moying Garden.

Moying Garden is where Ye Hansheng works. He set up a small table for Liu Qingyin in the room.

"Is this... prepared for me?" Liu Qingyin asked, looking at the table.

"That's right!" Ye Hansheng returned to his desk and sat down, ready to look through the case brief.

"Well, for a temporary worker like me, being able to sit in the same office with the big boss is a pretty good treatment." Liu Qingyin sat at the table, patted the table, moved the chair, and adjusted to a posture that suited her best.

Ah Cheng brought in another stack of files and prepared to put them on Ye Hansheng's desk.

"Give these to her!" Ye Han said calmly.

"Yes!" A Cheng said respectfully.

"Please, young lady." A pile of files blocked Liu Qingyin, leaving Ah Cheng with only his hat.

"This... is this a briefing??? Is this all?" Liu Qingyin was surprised. "How long will it take for the two of us to read it?"

Ah Cheng brought the street chief's diary again, "Sir, this?"

Ye Hansheng gave a look and all the diaries were piled on Liu Qingyin's desk.

"Acheng, is there anything else?" Liu Qingyin looked bitter.

"No more, young lady." Ashen replied respectfully.

Liu Qingyin sat up straight and patted her face, "Cheer up and try your best!!"

"Ayin, do you know what you want to see?" Ye Han asked softly.
