The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Chapter 41: Looking for clues? No, stacking gold ingots

The housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly: "No, our young master only has one young mistress, and there is no connecting room."

Lu Qingchen agreed, "Lu Yingxue is a petty and aggressive woman. If she knew Tian Guangyuan had someone else, she might even eat him."

"Then why did he go to all that trouble to leave in the middle of the night and avoid everyone?"

It is very unreasonable for a timid person to use shadow puppetry to avoid everyone and leave. This is also what Qin Miaoxi cannot understand the most.

The servant nodded repeatedly, "Our young master has never been like this before, but he has indeed been a little abnormal recently."

Lu Qingchen's spirits were visibly high. "Tell me in detail."

"My young master has been absent-minded recently. He's been distracted while writing memorials, and he hasn't attended poetry gatherings with friends. He comes home exhausted every day."

"Do you know the reason?"

The servant shook his head. "It must be because there are too many things going on at court! The young master is so busy that he's either reading in his study or sleeping in his bedroom. But even so, he's lost a lot of weight. It's heartbreaking to see him like that."

Lu Qingchen curled his lips and muttered softly, "Isn't the censor quite free these days? What is there to be busy about?"

Seeing that they couldn't get any information out of him, Qin Miaoxi and the other two prepared to leave. Unfortunately, when they reached the gate, they were stopped by the women of the Tian family.

Madam Tian, ​​who was in the lead, bowed first and said, "Greetings, Young Marquis."

Lu Qingchen frowned and looked at the newcomer, saying unhappily, "What is Madam Tian doing?"

This is Tian Guangyuan’s grandmother, a very powerful person.

Madam Tian's sharp gaze fell on Qin Miaoxi, "Are you the woman who took away my grandson's body?"

Qin Miaoxi responded calmly, "It's me."

Their eyes met in the air, an invisible collision.

Madam Tian suddenly lowered her head. When she looked up again, her eyes were red. She looked straight at Lu Qingchen and said, "Young Marquis, I only have one grandson, Guangyuan. Please tell me, was he really murdered?"

Lu Qingchen subconsciously looked at Qin Miaoxi, and after seeing her nod, he said, "We examined the body and found that he died of suffocation and was thrown into Xiaoxiang Lake."

"What a sin! Who killed my grandson?"

She beat her chest in grief, looking like she was about to faint, and immediately a group of women burst into tears.

Lu Qingchen frowned, and suddenly a figure rushed out from behind.

"I will kill you, you evil beast, to avenge my husband." Lu Yingxue rushed towards Lu Qingchen with a sword in her hand, but she was stopped by a group of women after taking two steps.

Madam Tian scolded sternly, "How dare you! Who let you out when you weren't guarding the mourning hall?"

Lu Yingxue fell to her knees and said, "Madam, I haven't avenged Guangyuan yet. I feel so bad."

Madam Tian scolded coldly, "You can't use a knife or a gun against the young marquis. How can that be disrespectful? Come over here and kowtow to the young marquis and confess your guilt."

Lu Qingchen sneered when he heard this. It was true that two kinds of people could not sleep in the same bed, and only one kind of people could come out of a family. This old lady really thought she was blind. She put on a show and still had to make fun of him.

He stood up straight and said coldly, "Didn't you hear what the old lady said? Come here quickly and kowtow to me and admit your mistake."

Lu Yingxue suddenly lost control of her anger and was pushed back by Qin Miaoxi as soon as she stood up.

She looked directly into Lu Yingxue's eyes and said slowly, "Mrs. Tian, ​​if we want to find the real culprit as soon as possible, please cooperate with us."

There was a terrifying murderous look in her eyes that frightened her so much that she couldn't move. She trembled all over and asked, "How can I cooperate?"

Qin Miaoxi smiled with satisfaction and whispered a few questions. Lu Yingxue's face instantly flushed red. She pushed her away in anger and shouted, "Ridiculous! How dare an unmarried woman like you ask such vulgar questions?"

Qin Miaoxi stood up leisurely and looked down at her condescendingly, "Your man died on this, why shouldn't I ask?"

Lu Yingxue's face turned red and white, and she gritted her teeth and said, "No."

Qin Miaoxi looked at her deeply, walked to Lu Qingchen and said, "Let's go!"

"Young Marquis, please stay!"

Madam Tian stopped them again and said, "I wonder when you can bring my grandson's body back? I want him to be buried as soon as possible."

"After finding the murderer."

The two of them left without looking back and did not see the cruel eyes of Mrs. Tian.

Walking on the street, Lu Qingchen's depressed mood finally dissipated a little. The atmosphere in the Tian family was inexplicably irritable.

He tilted his head and asked, "Where to now?"

"Go back to the paper-making shop."

"Did you forget to take something?"

"Stacking gold ingots."

This made Lu Qingchen a little confused, "Aren't we going to look for clues?"

"Master Liang is already investigating."

She smiled like a money-grubber, "The Tian family's only son has died, so we have to burn more paper money for him. This is a big deal."

"Will the Tian family buy from you?"

Qin Miaoxi's smile froze. "Of course not. They specifically went to find my rival."

"Then you still...?"

"So I bought all the Yuanbao paper and Huangbiao paper in the city in advance."

The corners of Lu Qingchen's mouth twitched fiercely twice, "You are such a cruel woman."

"I am over-flattered."

"Are you really not going to look for clues?"

"Young Marquis, why are you more nervous than the people in the government office?"

Lu Qingchen's face suddenly darkened, and he muttered in his heart, "I'm doing this for you, a dead woman. Are you really not afraid that the Tian family will cause trouble for you?"

Qin Miaoxi stared at him in confusion, only to find that this guy's ears had turned red again.

"You have such a bad temper! You can get so angry about such a small thing that your face turns red and your neck thickens."

"You and I……"

Qin Miaoxi walked straight ahead, then turned around to find Lu Qingchen following behind her angrily. "Why are you following me?"

Lu Qingchen looked around aimlessly, "I will definitely send you back safely."

Qin Miaoxi rolled her eyes, and after taking a few steps, she saw Wen Zhu wandering on the street. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she ran over quickly.

"My sword!"

"..."

Wen Zhu also saw the two of them, but the expression on his face was a little stiff, and he was speechless.

The moment Lu Qingchen saw Wen Zhu, his expression changed from sunny to gloomy, "Why are you here?"

Wen Zhu pursed his lips tightly and kept glancing behind him.

He looked suspiciously and saw a woman smiling at him shyly.

"who is she?"

"Master! She is the niece of Master's concubine, Zhao."

Hearing about the Zhao family, Lu Qingchen immediately showed a look of disgust, "Drive them away. This Marquis doesn't want to see anyone related to the Zhao family."

"But she came with a mission."

"What mission?"

"To seduce you."

"..."

Lu Qingchen gnashed his teeth secretly and said, "Shouldn't she be asked to leave?"

Wen Zhu nodded expressionlessly, but his eyes were filled with surprise, "Young Marquis, please tell me yourself."

Lu Qingchen laughed and scolded: "Look at your little achievements."

He walked up to the woman and said disdainfully to her infatuated face, "This Marquis does not want to have anything to do with the Zhao family. You will never appear before me again."

Who knew that just as he finished speaking, the woman burst into tears and even said shockingly: "Young Marquis, don't you want to take responsibility?"

what?

Lu Qingchen immediately started to curse in a panic, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

He turned around and explained to Qin Miaoxi: "Woman, I don't know her."

This time, the woman cried even harder, and her deafening cries attracted countless curious people.

"It was you who asked my aunt to bring me to the Marquis' Mansion. Why don't you admit it now?"

"I don't even know you, why would I pick you up?"

"Marry me!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue. Lu Qingchen felt his mind go blank and stared at her blankly.

"Can you say that again!"
