The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

Servant?

An absurd thought flashed through Qin Miaoxi's mind, and she couldn't wait to ask, "Where's the servant?"

"The servant is dead."

"Dead?" Qin Miaoxi was shocked. "How did he die?"

A trace of fear flashed across Lu Yingxue's eyes. "The old lady strangled him to death. She said she wanted him to be buried with Guangyuan."

"Ridiculous! Tian Guangyuan's body is still in the government office, why should he be buried with the deceased?" She was dumbfounded and wanted to say: Who buries a living person with the deceased nowadays?

Lu Yingxue shook her head. "I don't know. No one can go against the old lady's decision."

"What's the relationship between Tian Guangyuan and the servant?"

Lu Yingxue asked curiously, "What do you mean by that? It's just like the relationship between a master and a servant. If you make a mistake, you'll be punished. If you do it right, you'll be rewarded."

Qin Miaoxi took a deep breath and decided to speak more bluntly, "Did they do anything strange? For example, any physical intimacy?"

Lu Yingxue's face changed instantly when she heard this, and she slammed the table and stood up, "You woman are really dirty. My husband is a decent man, how could he be ambiguous with another man?"

Qin Miaoxi just stared at her silently for a while. Isn't this a typical love-brained person?

Lu Yingxue was completely broken by her. She snorted coldly and stood up and left in anger.

Liang Hongkai poked his head out from the corner, watched the two of them part unhappily, and asked in a low voice, "Are you done talking now?"

"Sir, you have already seen it." Qin Miaoxi shrugged. The information she got from Lu Yingxue was useful, but not much.

Liang Hongkai hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. They just came back to report that they found out the reason why Tian Guangyuan was injured earlier."

"Oh! How did he do that?"

"It was done by Pan Xun, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites."

"What's the relationship between the two of them?"

"It seems that Tian Guangyuan caught Pan Xun's secret and wanted to report him to the emperor. But somehow the news leaked out, so he scolded Tian Guangyuan and warned him not to talk nonsense. After that, Tian Guangyuan really behaved himself and didn't dare to make any move."

"Then how did they find out?"

"Not many people know about this. Pan Xun said it as a joke when he was drunk."

Qin Miaoxi thought for a moment, "Do you know what weakness Tian Guangyuan has caught him in?"

Liang Hongkai was also helpless. "That's unknown. He has always been a solitary person. I guess only those around him know something."

Qin Miaoxi felt dizzy with anger when she thought about the servant beside her being strangled to death. The Tian family was not reliable at all and it seemed like they did it on purpose.

Liang Hongkai suddenly said, "It's strange, but I heard that Pan Xun is going to be promoted to Minister of Rites."

He muttered to himself, "You said Tian Guangyuan just died and he was about to be promoted. Could there be any connection between these two things?"

"Where's the evidence?"

"I'm just guessing because I have no evidence." Liang Hongkai laughed awkwardly.

"Then investigate where he was when Tian Guangyuan died? What was he doing? And investigate everyone around him. Since there's no evidence, we have to investigate. We can't miss any details that might be clues."

After saying that, Qin Miaoxi stood up and prepared to leave.

"Ouch! Where are you going?"

"investigation."

Walking on the noisy street, Qin Miaoxi was still absent-minded. She looked indifferently at the people coming and going around her, like a lonely boat without direction on the sea, drifting around.

"I heard that the young marquis is getting married. I wonder which noble lady will marry into his family and suffer."

Suddenly a familiar name caught her attention, and she instinctively followed the person who spoke into the teahouse.

I had just ordered a pot of tea when I heard whispers from the next table.

"What are you talking about? If you marry her, you'll be a marquis' wife. How can you say you're suffering?"

"What do you know? The Marquis' Mansion can't even pay the servants, and they're swamped with debts. If I marry her, I'll have to use my dowry to fill the hole. Isn't this suffering?"

"How could that be? The young marquis's title was bought with silver. Who would believe you if you said he had no silver?"

"You can't help but believe this. My third aunt works in the Marquis's mansion, how could she not know? The young Marquis has money, but the Lu family doesn't!"

The man spoke vividly, "I heard that the Marquis' Mansion is in chaos now. The servants are asking the young Marquis for their wages, but he doesn't have their indentures, so he definitely won't pay! So they went to the Lu family to ask for it. But everyone knows that the Lu family has been fed and clothed with the dowry left by the young Marquis' mother for years. Now that the dowry has been presented to the emperor, how can they afford to pay the servants?"

"Now that you mention it, I understand. I heard that a woman had been relying on the young marquis before. That woman was the niece of the Lu family's concubine. She was trying to get money from the young marquis in disguised form!"

"That's right. That family is shameless and eats free food without even considering who is feeding them."

"But why is there news now that the young marquis wants to see someone?"

"You don't understand this! Although Lu Yuande is a piece of shit, he is the young marquis's biological father. It's his parents' order and the matchmaker's words. The young marquis can't resist even if he wants to."

"That's right. In the end, he has to marry the niece of a concubine. Just thinking about it is frustrating enough. It's not easy for the young marquis either."

"What do you call this? Every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoer. Let's just watch the show."

Qin Miaoxi couldn't help but nod. Although she knew that Lu Qingchen would not compromise, she was sure that she would not be able to avoid the fate of getting married. She didn't know which woman would be unlucky enough to marry into his family.

Just as I was thinking this, I looked up and met a pair of surprised eyes. Lu Qingchen ran over with sweat on his forehead and said, "So you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."

Seeing that more and more people in the teahouse were paying attention to them, Qin Miaoxi put down a piece of silver and walked out with Lu Qingchen.

"What do you want from me?"

Lu Qingchen said as a matter of course: "Investigate the case!"

Qin Miaoxi's mouth twitched, "You are not from the Dali Temple, so there is no need for you to investigate the case."

"It is now. The emperor has just appointed me as the chief judge of the Dali Temple. Now we are colleagues."

"..." Qin Miaoxi said thoughtfully: "Isn't this your new strategy to avoid getting married?"

Lu Qingchen's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "How do you know... Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense. When will I get married? My wife can only be the one I choose."

His deep eyes fell on her, making Qin Miaoxi's body hairy. She said "Oh" and turned away from the burning gaze, thinking to herself: Is this guy trying to drag me into the fire pit? Haha, he was dreaming.

Lu Qingchen followed Qin Miaoxi closely, and the two of them obviously became a beautiful scenery.

"Could you please stop following me?"

"Investigating a case requires cooperation. You have the weapons, I have the money. Together we are invincible."

Qin Miaoxi paused, frowning in disdain, "Who's following you? Just don't hold us back."

Lu Qingchen grinned like a scoundrel, "Hehe! Then you let me follow you, let's go!"

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

After walking all the way, they came to Xiaoxiang Lake. Qin Miaoxi looked at the lake in distress, and Lu Qingchen could see what she was thinking at a glance.

"Do you want to go and see where Tian Guangyuan fell into the water?"

"Well, maybe there are clues to the murderer at the bottom of the lake." Qin Miaoxi sighed, "But there is no boat to cross. It's a pity that I don't know how to swim, otherwise I can swim over and take a look."

"That's not difficult." Lu Qingchen raised his eyebrows proudly. He clapped his hands and a huge monster slowly approached from the distance.

When I looked closer, I saw that it was actually a ship.

Qin Miaoxi stared at him dumbfoundedly, "You...you did it?"

"Yes! I saw you wanted to go down to the lake before. With this boat, you can go wherever you want." Lu Qingchen held his head high, with an arrogant look that said, "Women shouldn't worship me."

"Are you crazy? How can a ship enter the lake?" Qin Miaoxi was speechless. Is this man's brain normal?

Lu Qingchen was dumbfounded. "Aren't they all boats? Why can't we get in?"

At this time, Wen Zhu came over jogging, "Master, I'm ready."

"So, are we going to go in the water?"

Lu Qingchen cautiously stole a glance at Qin Miaoxi. Seeing her pitiful appearance, she felt sorry for her. "Since we're here, let's go down and take a look. I won't care if it sinks."

Lu Qingchen was instantly happy again, "Of course you don't need to worry about it, it's not a lot of money."

A critical hit called "wealth and power" hit Qin Miaoxi's eyebrows hard. She gritted her teeth and thought: God, please take away all this guy's money! From now on, I will hate the rich.
