Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Three days later, Lu Xunhuan returned to Changzhou City.

Wanted posters were posted everywhere in the streets and alleys of the city.

He leaned over to take a look, and as expected, the government determined that Xia Yin had poisoned Shangguan Shangshu and was fleeing for fear of punishment, so they issued a warrant for Xia Yin's arrest.

After taking a quick look, he left.

Xia Yin has already become a royal concubine in Dongyan, where can they capture her?

He returned to Xialou and met Captain Ma head-on.

Captain Ma said, "The backyard."

There are only three people sitting under the pavilion now.

Captain Ma asked, "Overnight, you disappeared, Qingxia and Zixia also disappeared, and then Shangguan Shangshu was poisoned. This matter..."

Lu Xunhuan said, "Zixia got upset and wanted to go back to the North. Qingxia and I had no choice but to send her back overnight. After we went back, Qingxia said she wanted to stay for a few days to accompany her father, so I came back first."

"I've seen the wanted notice and I'm quite surprised. Why would Xia Yin, the head maid in the Shangshu Mansion, do such a thing? Could it be that someone is instructing her? Have you found out the real culprit behind this?"

Captain Ma stroked his short beard and said, "Everyone suspects that the Fifth Prince is the real culprit, because after the Shangshu was poisoned, his son-in-law has been staying indoors."

"According to gossip, his son-in-law Cheng Bufan had an affair with a maid in the Shangshu Mansion."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Does everyone think that Cheng Bufan deliberately seduced that maid and ordered her to poison him?"

Captain Ma shook his head. "But the situation is strange. Cheng Bufan seduced Chunxiang, but the one wanted for poisoning was Xia Yin. Moreover, after Chunxiang was arrested, from the interrogation, it was clear that she knew nothing about Xia Yin poisoning the Shangshu."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "So the truth can only be revealed after we capture Xia Yin."

Captain Ma said, "Based on my experience, it's impossible for the truth to come out. Xia Yin suddenly disappeared. Where did she go? I'm afraid she was silenced and buried in the earth long ago."

Lu Xunhuan agreed: "That's right, they can't catch Xia Yin again."

Captain Ma pondered and said, "Why is Cheng Bufan acting so abnormal? He has a lot of business to take care of. It doesn't make sense for him not to go out."

Lu Xunhuan gestured, "Come closer and listen."

He whispered, "It was Princess Manman who asked me to go to the Immortal Ancestor Temple. She wanted me to catch Cheng Bufan cheating on him. I did catch him, and I brought Cheng Bufan and Chunxiang's underwear to Princess Manman. Princess Manman was furious and wanted to lock Cheng Bufan up for six months."

"Shh," he said to the two of them, "I shouldn't have told you about my client's confidential information, but I want to tell you the truth about why Cheng Bufan doesn't go out, so that you don't have any wild thoughts. His privacy must be kept confidential."

After hearing this, the two of them suddenly realized.

Captain Ma said, "So that's how it is. What a coincidence! Then, who instructed Xia Yin to poison the Minister?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "Who knows? They didn't ask us to investigate the case, so why should we worry about it?"

Captain Ma said, "Even if they ask us to investigate this case, we can't take it. The person who dared to poison Shangguan must be extremely powerful. If we take it, they will destroy us."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Captain Ma said, "You should go to the Northland again. Even if Zixia doesn't come back, you have to bring Qingxia back. This is a sensitive moment, don't let people suspect you."

Lu Xun Huan stood up: "Okay, I'll go again."

He went into his room to pack some clothes, then left Xialou and headed north.

Two days later, he arrived outside the General's Mansion in Beidi City.

The soldier guarding the gate already knew him and let him in politely.

Zixia and Qingxia were both in the mansion, and to Lu Xunhuan's surprise, Hua Mengdie was also there.

The three of them were chatting and laughing together.

Seeing Lu Xunhuan coming, Zixia jumped up and ran towards him: "Supreme Treasure, you're here?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Yes, I am here to take Qing Xia back on Captain Ma's orders."

Zixia put away the bright smile on her face: "What do you mean, you won't let me go?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Let's talk about it later."

He walked in and bowed to Hua Mengdie: "Sister Mengdie."

Hua Mengdie smiled and said, "I'm so glad to see you."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Because he's still alive, right?"

Hua Mengdie nodded: "Yes."

Qingxia said, "Since you're here, let's get down to business. News has come from Changzhou City that Shangguan Shangshu was poisoned to death. What exactly happened?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "I don't know either. That's why Captain Ma is so nervous. You happened to leave Changzhou City at this time, and you're afraid of being suspected by others."

Qingxia nodded: "Okay, you rest for a night, we will go back tomorrow morning."

She stood up: "I'm going to arrange for everyone to make dinner."

Zixia chased after him and said, "Wait, I want to cook a dish for Zhizunbao myself."

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the living room.

Hua Mengdie quickly sat closer to Lu Xunhuan and asked quietly, "Have you been there?"

Lu Xunhuan shook his head: "No."

Hua Mengdie asked again: "Are you afraid to go for the time being because you've encountered difficulties?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "The Fifth Prince recently married his seventh wife, Ye Yayun from the White Crane Sect. Unfortunately, Ye Yayun has passed away."

Hua Mengdie nodded slightly: "She was probably like me, ordered to steal that thing. She might have stolen the prince's seal and went there on her own, but she couldn't avoid the trap."

Lu Xun Huan said, "I don't know the specific circumstances, but before she took action, she left a letter for the head of the White Crane Sect. I read the letter, and it clearly told the head of the White Crane Sect that someone forced her to go."

Hua Mengdie sighed: "It seems that I was really lucky at that time. After the failure, my choice can be considered the right one."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What choice?"

Hua Mengdie said, "I took the initiative to ask Mr. Zhuang to divorce me. Anyway, no matter whether he divorces me or not, I'm going back to my parents' home."

She asked Lu Xunhuan, "So, are you still going?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "We must go, even if we die in there, we must go."

Hua Mengdie reached into her arms, took out something, and handed it warmly to Lu Xunhuan.

When Lu Xunhuan lifted the cloth, he saw a huge seal that was one inch square.

He turned over the seal and saw the name of the Fifth Prince engraved on it.

He looked at Hua Mengdie: "You didn't steal that thing, but you stole a seal?"

Hua Mengdie gestured to him, "Put it away quickly."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Why didn't you give it to me last time?"

Hua Mengdie shook her head: "That's very risky after all. I'm not giving it to you for your own good."

Lu Xun Huan put the seal in his pocket and said, "Now you are not afraid that I will be in danger?"

There was a hint of helplessness in Hua Mengdie's eyes: "But you have to go anyway. I'll give it to you so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Isn't that good?"

She asked Lu Xunhuan, "Minister Shangguan is a sworn enemy of the Fifth Prince in the court. According to your analysis, could it be that the Fifth Prince ordered someone to poison him?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "I really don't know about this. I have no evidence, so I can't say anything without any proof, right?"

Hua Mengdie asked again: "You just said that someone forced Ye Yayun to steal that thing. Who forced her?"

Lu Xun Huan lowered his voice: "She said in the letter that she is the president of the Immortal Friends Association. Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone else."

"The situation is a bit confusing right now. We need to wait and see how it develops and avoid getting into trouble."
