The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Under Lu Qingchen's enthusiastic guidance, Qin Miaoxi and Liang Hongkai followed closely behind. The three of them walked through the bustling and lively streets. After turning into several winding and deep alleys, the atmosphere in front of them suddenly changed and became quiet and peaceful. Even the surrounding houses became large courtyards with tall gates. It was obvious that this place was the residence of the ministers in the court.

Finally, they arrived at a magnificent mansion. Above the vermilion gate hung a plaque with the words "Ye Mansion" inscribed on it.

"This is the residence of Lord Ye, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."

Lu Qingchen stood in front of the door, patting his sleeves with a look of pride on his face. "The young master of the Ye family, Ye Junyan, is my good brother. We can find out anything by asking him this time."

Qin Miaoxi looked up at the towering gate tower, feeling a little surprised. She then talked about the Ye family's family background: the Ye family was a famous scholarly family in the capital, and Ye Daxueshi was an important official in the court with a prominent status.

How could their young master become brothers with Jingzhao's number one playboy? I don't understand, I don't understand at all.

When she looked up, she saw Lu Qingchen winking at her, then he strode forward proudly and started knocking on the door with his hands.

A moment later, footsteps were heard from inside the door, and the door slowly opened. A doorman stuck his head out and looked at them warily.

"Who are you looking for?" The doorman asked in a cold tone, obviously not welcoming strangers.

Lu Qingchen said with a smile, "I am Lu Qingchen, the Marquis of Xuanping, and I'm here to see your young master Ye Junyan. Please let him know that his good brother is here."

Unexpectedly, when the doorman heard the name "Lu Qingchen", his expression suddenly changed and he said coldly: "So you are the young marquis!"

"Yes, it's me!"

Lu Qingchen's eyes became more and more proud, and Qin Miaoxi could even see from his eyes: Look, this is the status of the number one playboy in Jingzhao.

"and many more!"

He was about to follow when the door slammed shut, giving him a thud.

Liang Hongkai asked worriedly, "Young Marquis, are you okay?"

Lu Qingchen fought back tears, rubbed his nose and hummed, "No...nothing! My brother will be here soon, and he'll invite me in."

Liang Hongkai nodded with a smile, but he didn't dare look at him any longer, for fear that he would burst out laughing and embarrass the young marquis.

The three of them waited outside Ye Mansion for a while, and the door opened again.

"You can come in now!"

The doorman pulled out a pickaxe from behind the door, pointed at Lu Qingchen and shouted, "My master said you are not allowed to enter the Ye family again! You are not allowed to see my young master either."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorman rushed forward with a pickaxe.

Lu Qingchen was beaten so hard that he kept crying, "No, didn't I beat him last time? How can you beat him twice for the same thing?"

"My master said that he will beat you every time he sees you from now on."

"Ouch! Be gentle, you're spanking me. I'm your young master's good friend, how could you do this to me?"

The doorman said nothing and just kept knocking.

Lu Qingchen dodged the doorman's cudgel and shouted in panic, "Ouch! Stop it! I'm here to see Junyan. I have something important to tell him! Go and let him know. Junyan will definitely see me."

The doorman showed no mercy, brandishing a pickaxe and chasing him aggressively: "My master said that you are the one who led my young master astray! If you don't leave, I will kill you!"

Lu Qingchen was chased by him and almost vomited blood. My parents said, my parents said, is this guy a parrot?

Qin Miaoxi stood aside, watching Lu Qingchen being chased all over the yard, and couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.

She had just said it casually, but she didn't expect it to come true. This scene was really hilarious.

"Young Marquis, it seems that you don't have a very good reputation in the Ye family." She teased with a hint of joking in her tone.

Lu Qingchen dodged and shouted with a bitter face: "Wife, stop making fun of me! Help me think of a solution!"

Qin Miaoxi shook her head and said with a smile: "I can't help you. This is a 'grudge' between you two. It's not easy for me to interfere."

Lu Qingchen had no choice but to continue hiding in the yard.

Although the doorman was young, he was very agile and wielded the cudgel with great vigor. Lu Qingchen was unable to resist for a moment.

At this moment, a clear shout suddenly came from the yard: "Stop!"

When the doorman heard the voice, he immediately stopped what he was doing and respectfully stepped aside.

Lu Qingchen felt relieved, squatted on the ground, panting, and looked weakly towards the source of the sound.

I saw a young man in a green shirt walking down the corridor. He had delicate features and an elegant temperament. He was none other than Ye Junyan, the young master of the Ye family.

"Junyan! You're finally here!" Lu Qingchen ran to him as if he had seen a savior, patting his chest. "If you hadn't come soon, I would have been beaten down by your doorman."

Ye Junyan shook his head helplessly, his tone tinged with reproach: "Young Marquis, why are you here again? My father has issued a death order, forbidding you to enter the Ye family again."

Lu Qingchen smiled awkwardly and scratched his head: "I have something urgent to do! Besides, we are good brothers, you can't just stand by and watch me die, right?"

Ye Junyan sighed, turned his gaze to Qin Miaoxi who was standing beside him, and was slightly stunned: "Who is this?"

Lu Qingchen quickly introduced: "This is my wife, the coroner at the Dali Temple."

Ye Junyan suddenly realized, "You are the county lady appointed by the emperor."

"She is my wife, the Marquis's wife." Lu Qingchen corrected stubbornly. Whether it was the county lady or not, how could the Marquis's wife sound more pleasant to him?

Ye Junyan glanced at them deeply and asked, "Is there something important that you came to see me about this time?"

"Of course, it's about a serial murder case."

Upon hearing this, Ye Junyan's expression suddenly became serious. He turned to the doorman and said, "You go down first. There's nothing for you to do here."

The doorman responded respectfully and retreated, but judging from the direction he ran, he should be going to inform others.

Ye Junyan then said to Lu Qingchen and the others, "Let's talk somewhere else. Please follow me."

The three of them walked through the corridor and came to a secluded study.

Ye Junyan closed the door, turned around and asked, "Madam Hou, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qin Miaoxi stepped forward and bowed to him: "Master Ye, we are here to inquire about someone."

"Oh? I wonder who Miss Qin wants to find out about?" Ye Junyan asked.

"Green bamboo." Qin Miaoxi said bluntly.

When Ye Junyan heard the name, he looked confused. "I've never heard of this name, let alone this person."

"Master Ye, Cuizhu is closely related to the cases of Yan Xiao, Nie Kangshun, and Ge Shu. Please think about it carefully."

Ye Junyan was silent for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "I don't know Cuizhu, but I know the other three people you mentioned. They are students from Qingyuan Academy."

Liang Hongkai nodded and said, "Yes, they are the three great talents of Qingyuan Academy."

Ye Junyan was stunned and corrected him, "Master Liang, you are wrong. Qingyuan Academy actually has four great talents!"

"The Four Great Talents?"
