The daughter of the prime minister died tragically and was reborn to kill people everywhere

The emperor himself knows best whether he has done it or not.

But after something like this happened, he also had some doubts. If it wasn't him, it could be someone else.

When he took over the country from his father, it was already in a precarious situation. No matter how diligent he was, he could only barely keep the country from falling into the hands of others.

It would be extremely difficult to go further. Nowadays, with internal and external troubles, there are very few people available in the court.

If the world was peaceful and prosperous, why would he use Xiao Qianyi's knife? After all, in troubled times, severe punishments were needed, and he had no choice but to do so.

Emperor Dekang looked at Xiao Qianyi with complicated eyes, and said after a while, "I don't care who you suspect, just investigate it thoroughly. I will give you another three months. If you can't give me a result, I will not let you off easily."

Xiao Qianyi had no choice but to answer and waved at him to leave.

Xiao Qianyi stood up, bowed, turned around and left without any hesitation.

After Xiao Qianyi left, Wu Daban served Emperor Dekang another cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."

"Wu Daban, you have been with me since I was a child. Do you think it is right or wrong for me to use him?"

It's not like he didn't hear the criticisms of Xiao Qianyi in the court, saying that he was cruel and murderous, vindictive, and a traitor. But if he didn't use him, how could he control those ambitious and rebellious people?

Wu Daban handed the tea to De Kangdi without answering the question directly.

He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty has his own intentions in employing Governor Xiao. How can others understand the deep meaning behind it?"

This seems to say everything, but in fact it says nothing.

De Kangdi looked up at him twice, but didn't say anything in the end. Anyway, he didn't really want to ask him what he thought.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Qianyi subconsciously touched his chest and found that the hairpin was still lying there quietly. The corners of his originally tense lips curled up unconsciously.

He himself didn't even realize that there was someone who could easily affect his emotions.

He rubbed his fingers on the body of the hairpin twice more and was about to withdraw his hand when he found something was wrong.

Xiao Qianyi didn't have time to think about it. He took out the hairpin from his arms and looked at it in the candlelight.

It’s just that the mark on the body was too small, so small that I didn’t notice it and just thought it was an accidental scratch.

But Xiao Qianyi was different. His fingertips were extremely sensitive. He knew it was not a scratch but a special mark just by touching it.

"Qingmo, bring the lens."

Xiao Qianyi shouted loudly, and soon a figure flew in from outside, holding a crystal-polished lens in his hand.

Xiao Qianyi didn't even look at him. He reached out to take the lens and started to take the picture of the hairpin. He changed the angle again and again and finally saw clearly what the mark on it was.

It turned out to be the word "Autumn" written in small calligraphy with hairpin flowers.

He had just entered the palace to report about the extermination of the Qiu family. Now, he had a hairpin with the Qiu family's mark in his hand.

Xiao Qianyi couldn't help but frown. What does she have to do with the Qiu family's affairs?

"Master, your sweetheart is the girl from the Qiu family?"

Just as he was frowning in deep thought, Qing Mo suddenly exclaimed.

"But, but hasn't the Qiu family been wiped out? Then wouldn't the girl you like be..."

Qing Mo hadn't finished his words yet, but after Xiao Qianyi glared at him, he fell silent.

Xiao Qianyi threw the lens back into Qing Mo's arms and ordered in a cold voice.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

Qing Mo made a gesture as if to sew his mouth shut.

Xiao Qianyi didn't see him acting funny, but he felt in his heart that he should find an opportunity to meet Miss Mu.

Was it her intention or unintentional way that she gave this hairpin to me?

In fact, he did not tell the whole truth to Emperor De Kang when he entered the palace tonight.

The Qiu family's case is somewhat different from the previous two murders.

The Qiu family was not completely wiped out, at least one person survived.

She was the wet nurse of the mistress of the Qiu family. Because of her advanced age, the Qiu family treated her respectfully, returned her marriage contract, and gave her good land, and the servants allowed her to live with the family in her old age.

Because she had fallen ill when she left home, everyone in the Qiu family thought that she would not survive the New Year.

Madam Qiu asked her to leave the house because the old lady wanted to be with her children and grandchildren before she passed away.

No one expected that after leaving the house and returning to her family to recuperate, the old lady's health became better and better. This also made her the only survivor after the Qiu family was wiped out.

No one knew about this except Xiao Qianyi and his confidants.

Xiao Qianyi had no intention of telling even the emperor.

Because he also suspected the emperor, he would not tell him all the facts he had found out until he found out that he had nothing to do with the matter.

In Xiao Qianyi's eyes, it doesn't matter who becomes the emperor. What matters is that the world is peaceful and the people live in peace. It doesn't matter even if the world calls him a traitor.

He also got some clues from Nanny Qiu, including the mark on the hairpin.

Only girls from the Qiu family would mark their personal belongings.

And the location of the mark varies depending on identity and ranking.

So was this hairpin something Mu Yunyao accidentally bought as stolen goods, or was it originally given by the Qiu family?

Either way, this is a very important clue.

But Xiao Qianyi was troubled by what identity he should use to meet her.

After all, if I go directly to their door and let others know, it will cause criticism from others.

Her current situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion was already difficult, and Xiao Qianyi didn't want to make things difficult for her.

Just when I was distressed and confused, a snow-white dove flew in through the window.

It cooed at him and then raised its left foot which had the mailbox tied to it.

Just as Xiao Qianyi was about to reach out to open the mailbox, the little guy suddenly flapped his wings and flew up, perfectly avoiding his outstretched bony palm.

"laugh."

Xiao Qianyi chuckled, "It really is a creature that resembles its master."

He smiled and took out some of the best bird food from a porcelain jar on the side and sprinkled it on the table.

Sure enough, the next moment the pigeon landed lightly, pecking at the food while lifting its feet to make it easier for Xiao Qianyi to open the mailbox.

The main point is to refuse "freeloading".

Xiao Qianyi opened the letter and there was only one sentence on it.

"Tomorrow at noon, at Deyue Tower, it's your treat."

He was too lazy to even write a signature, and Xiao Qianyi didn't care.

He casually lit the note and ignored the pigeon. After all, it would leave on its own after eating.

That person dared to set his sights on his wallet, probably because he had some clues about the matter he was investigating.

In the prime minister's residence, there was a busy night because two injured people were brought back at once.

Even the imperial physicians in the palace were invited to treat Mu Junsheng. However, after several imperial physicians jointly diagnosed and confirmed that Mu Junsheng's leg bones were broken and he could not stand up again, Shen Qianyao finally couldn't bear it and fainted.

"Second Madam, Second Madam."
