Farming and reading family

Xu Boyan would definitely not rush to the front when it comes to the matter between Marquis Jingyang and the Crown Prince, unless he did so to sow discord.

Gao E didn't ask about this matter and just pressed the snake's head. Suddenly, a piece of the snake's head popped open, revealing the cavity inside, which scared Gao E.

Xu Boyan raised his hand to throw the snake head away, but when he saw the snake head bounce away and there was no movement, he slowly retracted his hand.

"Look how scared Lord Xu is." Gao E looked at the cavity.

Xu Boyan was speechless when he heard Gao E say this. Was he scared?

Gao E looked at it for a long time, then leaned forward to smell it. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "I understand."

"What?" Xu Boyan was suspicious.

"The man now takes snake venom and injects it into this container, and then uses this fake snake head to bite people while injecting the venom at the same time. The effect is almost exactly the same as a snake biting a person." Gao E pointed at the snake's fangs.

"Extracting snake venom now?" Xu Boyan had heard of it.

"Yes." Gao E nodded. "Snake venom remains toxic for a while after leaving the body. We just need to use it up during this time."

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E, wondering how she even knew this: "Bai Hao, try to see if this snake head is really like what Madam Chen said."

Bai Hao nodded and took the snake head from Gao E.

The main springs of this snake staff are all on the snake's head. There are only two thin wires in the hollow snake staff, which are used to control the bite of the snake's fangs and inject venom.

Bai Hao injected water into the snake's head to test it, and by pulling the thin filaments inside, he was able to bite and inject venom.

Now that they had figured out who was bitten by a snake in such a big prison, Xu Boyan could explain it clearly when he went to find Qiu Zhen.

"Lord Xu called me here early in the morning just for this?" Gao E felt that Xu Boyan could figure it out himself.

"I'll give it back to you." Xu Boyan took out a small box.

Gao E opened it and took a look. Inside was a wax ball, which was her snake-attracting incense.

"I sealed it with wax again. Don't use this thing lightly." Xu Boyan reminded.

"I'm not stupid. This thing will become less and less every time I use it." Gao E put it away.

Who knows when this weird thing might come in handy?

"Then I'll go first." Gao E said and left.

Zhu Mo went to see Gao E off, and Bai Hao collected the snake head.

"I didn't expect Madam Chen to be so knowledgeable and talented that she even knows about something as obscure as snake venom." Bai Hao sighed, thinking that as long as he gave Madam Chen time, maybe she could really find the murderer.

Xu Boyan originally did not doubt Gao E's identity, but as he got to know Gao E better and better, he became more and more suspicious. How could a place like He County produce such a remarkable woman like Gao E?

Gao E ate something at a roadside restaurant. If she went to Yueyuan now, she would definitely meet other people, and she would be a bit conspicuous.

"Where are we going later?" Lu Qingluo wanted to go to Yueyuan.

"Let's find a tea stall." Gao E wanted to wait and see.

At this time, most of the people sitting in the teahouse are idle. They have nothing to do after breakfast, so they come over to order a pot of tea and listen to storytelling and singing. Even if there is no storyteller or singer, they can still gossip about what is happening in the city.

Gao E chose a seat in the middle, as the three women sitting in the middle looked awkward.

Soon people started talking about the long period of rain in He County, which was due to the evil spirit left by the previous fish demon that turned into a dragon, and there might be another natural disaster.

When talking about natural disasters, we have to mention the dead snakes on the streets in the morning.

After talking about Dead Snake, I have to talk about these people who came to He County these two days...

Anyway, as long as there are a lot of people, they can think of everything and talk about it clearly.

Gao E sat there listening to the excitement, thinking about what would happen this morning.

After having breakfast, Xu Boyan took the snakehead to find Qiu Zhen.

"I just happen to have something to talk to Lord Xu about." Qiu Zhen said as he took out a box.

Xu Boyan took the box and opened it to see a box of banknotes inside: "Miss Qiu, this is..."

"All the Zhao family members are dead. The princess may not believe what you and I say. Lord Xu is the magistrate of He County. Think of a solution." Qiu Zhen looked at Xu Boyan.

Her meaning was very clear, she wanted Xu Boyan to forge the evidence.

Xu Boyan took the box directly: "Miss Qiu's goal is to make the princess believe it, why go through so much trouble."

"Oh?" Qiu Zhen looked at Xu Boyan. "Master Xu, do you have a solution?"

Xu Boyan took out the snake head and demonstrated it in front of Qiu Zhen: "This is the murder weapon that killed everyone in the prison. The murderer is now hiding in He County, and I am arresting him."

Qiu Zhen lowered her eyes and figured out the key point. Someone attacked the Zhao family just because they didn't want them to speak. So the princess might really believe them.

"Come with me to see the eldest princess." Qiu Zhen said as he stood up.

She must deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more trouble.

"Yes." Xu Boyan and Qiu Zhen went over together.

After seeing Qiu Zhen leave, Ye Linchuan followed the path to look for Jin Ruyi.

Zheng Xiaoshun brought Que'er to find Jin Ruyi. Que'er was not afraid when she arrived at Yueyuan, and she walked around him like Zheng Xiaoshun did.

Suddenly, she accidentally bumped into Ye Linchuan who was coming out of the small road. She was so scared that she immediately hid behind Zheng Xiaoshun.

Ye Linchuan glared at them and left quickly. He didn't have time to bother with these people.

Zheng Xiaoshun breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that they would encounter someone who was difficult to talk to and would give them a hard time.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zheng Xiaoshun comforted Que'er.

"You're afraid." Que'er looked at Zheng Xiaoshun in disbelief.

Zheng Xiaoshun was indeed a little scared: "We still have Master Jin and my second sister-in-law. It's okay."

Que'er started laughing when she heard Zheng Xiaoshun say this.

Jin Ruyi sat in the pavilion waiting for Zheng Xiaoshun. The pavilion was very close to her residence and not too remote. The eldest princess's residence could easily be seen from here.

But she didn't wait for Zheng Xiaoshun, but saw Ye Linchuan coming over cautiously. He stood up and walked over after seeing her.

She lowered her eyes and ignored Ye Linchuan, waiting to see what he wanted to do.

Ye Linchuan pretended to be passing by and walked to Jin Ruyi's side: "You are Jin Ruyi."

"Lord Ye, whether he is blind or has lost his memory, how could he not recognize me?" Jin Ruyi sneered.

"You..." Ye Linchuan gritted his teeth, "Then what about you yesterday..."

"I did it on purpose." Jin Ruyi looked up at Ye Linchuan, "I just wanted to slap you."

Since she chose to meet Ye Linchuan, there was no way they could reconcile, so why be so cautious?

Ye Linchuan took a deep breath: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"What can I do?" Jin Ruyi said with a relaxed expression, "I had already hidden in He County, and it was you who found me."

Ye Linchuan still wanted to find out his son's whereabouts and didn't want to fall out with Jin Ruyi right away: "I did that for your own good. If I didn't let you leave, the Cao family would have made you disappear completely."

Jin Ruyi started laughing when she heard Ye Linchuan say this.

"What are you laughing at?" Ye Linchuan said angrily, "You don't know yet, your Jin family is gone."

Jin Ruyi suddenly clenched her teacup: "How dare you mention it!"
