The mind-reading coroner drove the court crazy

The sky gradually darkened. Lu Qingchen had been running around with Qin Miaoxi all day. He was so tired that he collapsed on the ground. Feeling abandoned, he asked dissatisfiedly, "Why are you following him? You're not really attracted to that boy, are you?"

During these few hours, Qin Miaoxi had been following Shan Yu, watching him wander around the village.

At this moment, he finally remembered the condition he and Qin Miaoxi had agreed on when they were getting engaged: if the other party fell in love with someone else, the other party would have to sign a divorce agreement unconditionally.

[I can't be that unlucky! Being abandoned before even getting married?]

Qin Miaoxi suddenly pulled him up and said, "Don't sit here anymore. The person has left."

"If you don't tell me the reason, I'll scream!"

Although Lu Qingchen said this, his body still followed her obediently.

"There's something wrong with this person."

Lu Qingchen was overjoyed. "You finally figured it out? There's something wrong with him, so let's go! Stay away from people like him."

"Then aren't you curious about why he's here?"

Lu Qingchen shook his head sincerely, "I'm not curious."

Qin Miaoxi: "..."

She thought it was unnecessary to ask and continued to follow him. However, this time Shan Yu went to Latagou again and brought tools with him to fish and pick up things in it.

"Is he seeking death? He's seen the poisonous water in Latagou, yet he still jumps in. Isn't he afraid of being poisoned?"

"It looks like what he's looking for is in the ditch. What could it be?"

Lu Qingchen glanced at the ditch and grinned in disgust, "It can't be a corpse!"

Qin Miaoxi did not comment on this and stared at Shan Yu's every move intently.

"Aren't you here to look for the Ghost-Faced Judge? Why don't we go find those people from the Ministry of Justice? Maybe they've found a clue already?"

"The Ghost-Faced Judge is not here."

"how do you know?"

Qin Miaoxi said firmly, "He wants to kill those wealthy businessmen who are unkind and greedy, or corrupt officials who exploit the people. There are no such people in this village, so he won't come."

Lu Qingchen couldn't help but admire, "If I hadn't known you were the coroner of the Dali Temple, I would have thought you were the Ghost-Faced Judge's man! You actually know him so well."

"It's not hard to speculate. With the Four Imperial Guards keeping watch over the court, and most of the corrupt officials already eliminated, he wouldn't risk taking action near Jingzhao. But most wealthy merchants are in the south, so he's been active there. The Ministry of Justice's investigation was misguided from the outset."

"Actually, he's not as good as you say."

Lu Qingchen muttered something in a low voice, which immediately made Qin Miaoxi furious. "He's not good, how are you?"

"Ahem, I am better than him. At least I dare to show my true face to others."

Qin Miaoxi sarcastically said, "You only have a decent face!"

At this moment, Shan Yu dug something out of Latagou and placed it on the edge of the ditch.

"Shut up!"

The two looked intently, but the sky was dark and they could not make out what it was.

Seeing Qin Miaoxi's curiosity, Lu Qingchen volunteered, "I'll go take a look."

"Oh my god, you're so clumsy you'll be easily discovered."

After Shan Yu slowly moved forward for a distance, she approached him quietly like a ghost.

When she finally saw the scene clearly, she gasped in shock, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to her heart.

It was the body of a baby, half a meter long. It was obviously a full-term child, but it was abandoned so cruelly.

Further ahead, there are broken limbs, dead cats, sparrows, and snakes. No wonder the water in Latagou is so poisonous! It's really all-encompassing.

Qin Miaoxi took a few glances and then stepped back, "It's not something useful, wait a little longer!"

"Still waiting?"

Lu Qingchen said indignantly, "Who knows how long that grandson will dig? Aren't you tired?"

"Then you go back first, I'll take a look and then come back."

Lu Qingchen didn't believe her at all. He had experienced this before, and she had made solemn promises, but in the end she was busy all night and couldn't sleep alone in the Dali Temple.

"Well, I'll send Wen Zhu to keep an eye on it, and we'll find a tree to rest."

"Wen Zhu? He's not here now."

"Who said that? It's right there!"

Looking in the direction he pointed, I saw that there was indeed a person hiding in the tree.

"Master! You called me?"

"Go and keep an eye on him and see what he does. If anything happens, wake us up immediately."

In this way, he finally managed to pull Qin Miaoxi away.

There is an indescribable smell in Latagou at night. It is damp and eerie, and I feel inexplicably uncomfortable all over.

A night passed, and the morning light shone on the earth, but Shan Yu was still digging. The skeletons of seven or eight children were found on the land beside the ditch.

"He's really crazy. What's in the ditch?"

Lu Qingchen didn't understand his actions, and even more so, she didn't understand why, since he was the prince of the Jie tribe, he didn't bring people to look for him together?

"No, he's been poisoned too."

Qin Miaoxi jumped up and ran over.

"This is a great thing."

The three men came to Shan Yu one after another. At this time, his lips were black purple, his face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were empty and distracted. It was obvious that he had fallen into a state of unconsciousness.

His lips opened and closed, and one could faintly hear: "Brother Huang, don't be afraid, I will definitely find you and bring you home!"

Qin Miaoxi and the other person looked at each other and immediately used silver needles to seal his major acupoints.

Lu Qingchen checked his limbs and said, "There are no wounds on his body."

"Even if there were no wounds, a normal person wouldn't be able to endure soaking in the ditch water all night."

Qin Miaoxi called Wen Zhu over to carry the man. "He's too weak to be bled out to remove toxins. He needs a medicinal bath combined with acupuncture to remove toxins. Take him to the clinic in Yunyin Pavilion. The doctors there are proficient in acupuncture and will be able to help him eliminate the toxins as quickly as possible."

When Lu Qingchen heard that Qin Miaoxi didn't need to treat him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said proactively: "I'll go with him. The two of us will work faster together."

Qin Miaoxi was surprised by his enthusiasm and said after a while, "Thank you for your help."

"It should."

The two of them hurried away with Shan Yu, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared from sight.

Qin Miaoxi looked at everything that was salvaged from the shore, feeling sad. When she looked towards Lata Valley again, the sunlight just happened to fall on it.

"That is……"

-------------------------------------

On the other hand, after Lu Yuande took Lu Shiya's banknotes, he immediately started to make large purchases and spread the news that Lu Qingchen was about to marry Princess Xinglan to everyone.

Inside the palace, Eunuch Wu reported to the emperor in a hurry, "Your Majesty, I heard that Marquis Lu is going to marry Princess Xinglan."

The emperor was furious. "What's going on? Didn't he just come to ask for permission to marry that female coroner? He's playing a trick on me. Lu Qingchen is so bold."

Who was Princess Xinglan? She was the first princess from a different family to have her own fiefdom and the tiger talisman that controlled 30,000 troops. She was powerful and influential, and she would never let Lu Qingchen marry Lu Shiya.

Eunuch Wu knelt down hurriedly to explain, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This wasn't spread by the young marquis, but by his father. He didn't know that the young marquis had asked Your Majesty for permission to marry."

"The gigolo who took his wife's ancestral property and killed her?"

The emperor asked coldly, "What's going on?"

"I heard that it was Master Lu who personally went to find Princess Xinglan, and then there was news that the young marquis was going to marry Princess Xinglan."

The emperor gradually breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that this was their own idea. Considering the relationship between Lu Qingchen and his father, that kid will never listen."

"Your Majesty, but who knows about this kind of thing! Princess Xinglan is as beautiful as a flower and very rich. There's no guarantee that the young marquis won't fall in love with someone else! And that person is, after all, a serious elder of the young marquis. What if the young marquis compromises?"

Eunuch Wu knew what the emperor was worried about. He was afraid that while the emperor was still trying to make trouble here, his family would be stolen there, and in the end he would give Lu Qingchen a good marriage for nothing, and he would have no room for regret.

"You are right. Send the imperial edict granting the marriage to the Marquis' Mansion immediately and tell Lu Qingchen that the Imperial Household Department will be responsible for all his marriage matters. Let him just prepare to be the groom."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will bring it to you faithfully."
