Farming and reading family

Prince Bin also lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked over here. It would take a long time for wealthy families to prepare for an elegant gathering, let alone a family like the Chen family. He really couldn't understand why the Chen family wanted to hold an elegant gathering.

"Then we'll trust you again." Kang Jingran had no choice but to compromise. "I didn't expect Du Weiqing to be so unreliable."

If this gathering is not held well, Du Weiqing's reputation will be completely ruined.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to solve any problem no matter what it is," Gao E promised.

In fact, Tang Song and his companions also met Kang Jingran and his companions' carriage, but at that time they had just left He County, so they didn't recognize them and didn't stop to say hello.

At this time, Tang Song and his companions had already arrived at Yue Garden. When they heard that the literati had left, they had no choice but to go back to discuss with Madam Chen.

Gao E calculated the time and felt that they must have missed it.

If Tang Song went back and forth like this, if he arrived at Yueyuan and turned back immediately, he would probably meet them again at the city gate, so he hung up the curtains and looked outside.

Sure enough, when we were almost reaching He County, we met Tang Song and the others coming back.

"Thank you for your hard work this time." Gao E asked Jin Ruyi and Tang Song to take the literati back to Yueyuan.

Jin Ruyi nodded: "You go and do your work first. With Prince Wang here, no one will be in any trouble."

"Be careful." Gao E reminded again.

Jin Ruyi nodded.

Jin Ruyi got directly into Prince Bin's carriage, which made Xue Hanyan unhappy.

"Where is Madam Chen going?" Prince Bin thought Gao E was going to handle the matter personally.

"She had some conflicts with a squire in He County before. I heard that the squire died in prison, so the magistrate sent someone to call her over for questioning." Jin Ruyi said directly.

Prince Bin suddenly realized: "Is the squire's imprisonment related to Madam Chen?"

"It doesn't seem to be related, but on the day the squire was imprisoned, Mrs. Chen went to his house and caused quite a commotion." Jin Ruyi only talked about the surface.

Prince Bin thought that since Xu Boyan knew that he and Gao E knew each other, he would not make things difficult for Gao E, and it would probably just be a formality.

"Why do you suddenly want to go back to Yueyuan?" Prince Bin made small talk.

"A steward of the Chen family was injured before, but he's now almost recovered and can do his job. I'm here to watch them take over." Jin Ruyi looked at Prince Bin. "Why are you asking about this?"

"Nothing." Bin Wang laughed. "I just saw that you're busy running around every day."

"Maybe it will be better after the gathering is over." Jin Ruyi guessed.

Gao E and Bai Hao went to the yamen. Now Qiu Zhen's people were all in Yueyuan, so they didn't have to worry about being run into.

The body in the cell was carried out for the coroner to check the records, but it has not yet been sent to the funeral home.

Bai Hao brought Gao E here directly.

"Why did you bring her here?" Xu Boyan signaled the coroner to cover the body quickly.

"It's okay." Gao E said she was not that fragile.

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E. Most women would be terrified when seeing a corpse, but she didn't seem to have any reaction?

"Let's talk in the back court." He said as he was about to take Gao E away.

"Did the murderer leave any traces?" Gao E stood there without moving.

The assassination of Qiu Zhen and the killing of all the members of the Zhao family showed that the prince's men were involved.

"How can you be sure that this is not an accident but a murderer?" Xu Boyan looked at Gao E.

Of course he knew that someone did this on purpose.

The assassination of Qiu Zhen last night might have been a diversionary tactic.

If this is true, it only means that the prince has a spy on Jingyang Hou's side, and the spy is someone very close to Jingyang Hou.

"Snakes aren't stupid." Gao E looked at Xu Boyan with some disdain. "Why would you come here and bite people when you have nothing better to do? You can't eat them."

It was the first time Xu Boyan heard someone talk about snakes like this: "So what kind of traces do you think they will leave?"

"Then you have to make sure how many snakes there are, what kind of venomous snakes they are, and where the people who were bitten were bitten..." Gao E analyzed.

Xu Boyan called Gao E to discuss the matter of Princess Qingfeng returning to the eldest princess, not to ask her to help find the murderer.

What matters to him is not the murderer but how the matter should proceed.

As a result, Gao E actually became concerned about the case itself.

"Then what's the point of you saying all this?" Xu Boyan spread his hands.

"This can help find the murderer." Gao E said directly.

Xu Boyan was speechless, then suddenly calmed down and looked at Gao E seriously: "Can you find the murderer?"

"No..." Gao E hesitated for a moment, "It's not impossible."

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E in surprise: "Really?"

"Did you forget the snake-attracting incense?" Gao E suddenly thought of this. "Since he would let a snake bite people, he is probably a snake-controlling expert and keeps snakes as pets."

Xu Boyan thought the same thing: "But once the snake-attracting incense is used, it will attract all the snakes around it."

"But snake tamers react differently to snakes than others," Gao E analyzed. "Besides, most local snakes are not venomous. A highly venomous snake like this is likely brought in from outside."

Xu Boyan thought about it and said, "We can give it a try."

"Let me take a look at the bite wounds on those people." Gao E suggested.

Xu Boyan asked the coroner to only show Gao E the wounds on the body.

Most of the bites were on the calves, wrists and necks, and the bodies were all bruised.

"This...may not be a snake bite." Gao E said uncertainly after looking at it several times and comparing it repeatedly.

"It wasn't a snake bite?" Xu Boya said seriously. "What was it?"

"It should be..." Lu Qingluo also looked at it carefully, "a weapon that looks like a snake mouth."

"How do you explain the snake venom?" Xu Boyan was certain that these people died from snake venom.

"Could it be a weapon similar to a snake bite, which can inject venom after biting a person?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo. "Is there such a thing?"

"I haven't seen it." Lu Qingluo frowned, "But the Master of Mechanical Skills should be able to do it."

Gao E suddenly realized that snake venom quickly loses its activity outside the living body. If it was indeed snake venom, it should have been the one taken at that time. "Has anyone spotted any poisonous snakes in the city these days?"

"Go investigate." Xu Boyan ordered.

Bai Hao nodded and left with the two yamen runners.

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E and said, "Send someone back to get the snake-attracting incense."

Gao E asked Lianxin to go back and get it. At this time, she should be able to enter the city before the city gate is closed by riding back and forth.

Jin Ruyi had already brought people to Yue Garden, arranged those literati, and then went to question the frightened guests yesterday.

The eldest princess didn't even enter the door. Only the servants said it was okay as long as they didn't disturb their master.

Finally, they were going to Miss Qiu's place. Jin Ruyi was actually a little excited at the thought that there was a high possibility of meeting Ye Linchuan. She wanted to see what expression Ye Linchuan would have.

As a result, before she met Ye Linchuan, Mo Xun met Ye Linchuan first. They both went to decide what to eat for dinner. Qiu Zhen was injured, so he had to be careful about what he ate.

"Lord Ye, long time no see." Mo Xun looked at Ye Linchuan.

The assassination attempt on his life in He County that year was directly attributed to Ye Linchuan, but he had no direct evidence.
