Now that the girl has come to investigate the truth, the two of them are eager to tell each other everything they know.

"Auntie, could you describe in detail what the body of the deceased looked like?" Qin Wanying asked one of the women.

The woman recalled, "Her lips were pale, and her eyes had dark circles, but otherwise, there didn't seem to be anything special..."

Qin Yonghua looked at his younger sister and knew that she might have discovered something amiss.

Qin Yonghua and Qin Wanying didn't have much contact, but he was extremely good at judging people.

He knew that Wan Ying was a very intelligent person who remained calm in the face of danger, planned things out, and always came up with the best solution.

Judging from the younger sister's expression, it seemed that she had found a breakthrough in the matter.

I wanted to hear what my little sister was thinking, but right now, I can't hear anything.

"Please think carefully about this person's ears. Were their earlobes blackish-purple?"

The woman thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yes! Yes! I remember now, my earlobes were indeed a bit dark purple!"

Qin Wanying nodded.

[He was bitten by the Eastern Abyss's Death Spider.]

Qin Yonghua was surprised.

He didn't know what a Death Spider was.

However, Dongyuan was a country located in the eastern part of Dayao.

My little sister even knows these things?

Qin Wanying summoned the Shadows again and ordered them to investigate whether the ten dead people all had pale lips, bluish eye sockets, and dark purple earlobes.

The bodies had all been transported to the Dali Temple, so they couldn't inspect them freely and had to investigate on their own in Zhongdian County.

Seeing his younger sister calmly directing the shadows, Qin Yonghua couldn't help but smile.

My younger sister is only fifteen years old, but she has the demeanor of a general and remains calm in the face of danger.

When Qin Yonghua learned that Shadow was being handed over to her for management, he was worried about whether his younger sister could manage it well.

Now it seems that my worries were completely unnecessary.

"Little sister, have you discovered any clues?" Qin Yonghua asked.

"The signs of death include pale lips, bluish eye sockets, and dark purple earlobes. These are signs of being bitten by a Death Spider. The Death Spider is a type of Eastern Abyss Poison Spider."

"A person will die within 15 minutes after being bitten by this venomous spider."

The novel mentions the Death Spider, which the protagonist, Xiao Dongqian, kept for assassination.

However, Da Yao knew nothing about this poisonous spider.

However, there is no scene in the novel where Qin Yunzhu heals the dead.

It seems that her arrival changed the storyline.

Hearing Qin Wanying's words, Ah Rong, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but look at Qin Wanying with new respect.

I originally thought that the Second Miss, having been stranded in Yuanzhou, probably didn't know much.

But now, after hearing what the Second Miss said, he realized that she was very knowledgeable. He had never heard of the Death Spider before. Even after following the Fourth Young Master Qin Yunzhu for so many years and learning about all kinds of poisons, he had never heard of the Death Spider.

The second young lady even knows this.

Seeing the Second Miss calmly directing the Shadows, who all obeyed her orders, he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Qin Wanying.

He also secretly blamed himself, realizing that he shouldn't have underestimated the second young lady.

[With the Shadow faction destroyed, the male and female protagonists felt a sense of crisis, and Xiao Dongqian couldn't wait to take action.]

Qin Yonghua's eyes turned cold as he listened to Qin Wanying's thoughts.

There are only a few people who can harm his fourth brother.

This Xiao Dongqian dared to touch his brother and even intended to destroy the Marquis's mansion; he would never let him go.

An hour later, all the shadows returned.

Just as Qin Wanying had said, all the dead died in the same manner.

However, Yao did not understand the Death Spider.

If you were to rashly say that these people were poisoned by the Death Spider, probably no one would believe you.

Ideally, I'd catch a deadly spider and bring it back to Kyoto.

The person who manipulated the Death Spider to commit the crimes has probably already left with it.

In a county like Zhongdian, entry into the county is not strictly controlled. Everyone does not need to register, so it is impossible to find out how many outsiders have entered the county recently. Therefore, finding the murderer is a very difficult task.

Qin Wanying summoned a shadowy figure.

She had previously studied each shadow in detail.

This shadowy figure had carried out a mission in Dongyuan.

"What are your orders, Second Miss?" Shadow knelt before Qin Wanying and asked, bowing his head.

"You previously carried out a mission in Dongyuan. There is a kind of poisonous spider in Dongyuan called the Death Spider. Do you know it?"

"Please forgive me, Miss, I have never heard of this before."

Qin Wanying nodded. It's normal that she hadn't heard of it.

“You know the terrain and routes of Dongyuan. Go to Dongyuan immediately. On the back of Zhenxu Mountain, where Dongyuan and Dayao meet, where the sun never shines, there is this kind of poisonous spider. Go and catch one for me.”

In the book, when Xiao Dongqian was guarding the frontier, he fought with the enemy and ended up in Zhenxu Mountain, where he was rescued by a poison master who lived in seclusion there.

The poison master told Xiao Dongqian about the living habits and methods of capturing this deadly spider.

The book also details the entire process of Xiao Dongqian capturing the Death Spider.

Qin Wanying told the shadowy figure how to capture the Death Spider, and sent a highly skilled shadow guard with him, ordering the two to return within two days.

Because of the Empress Dowager's obstruction, Shadow could not become His Majesty's private guard and could only be kept in the Marquis's residence. Qin Yezhong would also report intelligence to His Majesty regularly.

This shadow is incredibly useful.

The two men accepted the order and left quickly.

Qin Wanying stayed in Zhongdian County for the next two days; she still had important matters to attend to.

She discussed it with Qin Yonghua beside her, and the two of them went their separate ways to visit Zhongdian County and collect testimonies from local witnesses to prove that Qin Yunzhu was wholeheartedly dedicated to treating the epidemic and devoted herself to the cause.

Not only is evidence necessary, but a battle for public opinion is also required.

We absolutely cannot let Xiao Dongqian succeed and ruin the reputation of the Marquis's mansion.

Two days later.

The two men who had been ordered to capture the Death Spider returned, travel-worn.

The shadowy figure held a sealed bamboo tube in its hand.

Qin Wanying carefully took it and gently lifted the lid of the bamboo tube.

These elusive spiders are photophobic and will not come out once the lid is opened.

Qin Wanying looked into the bamboo tube and saw a small, colorful spider, about the size of a little fingernail, crawling inside.

This little thing contains a deadly poison that can poison a living person in a very short time.

Qin Wanying quickly closed the lid and prepared to return home.

She went back first, and her third brother would arrive shortly after.

Upon returning to the capital and entering the Marquis's residence, I learned that Qin Yunzhu's case was going to trial that very day.

This matter was also notified to the Marquis's residence in advance, as if they were afraid that the Marquis's residence would be prepared in advance.

Qin Wanying hurriedly rushed to Dali Temple.

She was not originally allowed to enter, but according to the laws of the Great Yao, relatives of the person being tried were allowed to attend the hearing.

The Qin family members have all arrived at the trial hall.

Qin Ye was extremely anxious. He hadn't expected the trial to start so soon. Upon receiving the letter that morning, he immediately sent someone to inform Qin Wanying and Qin Yonghua.

I wonder how well the two of them have gathered their evidence.

If there is not enough evidence to prove Yunzhu's innocence, what will happen to Yunzhu?

With the Empress Dowager's aggressive approach this time, will she inadvertently and confusedly convict someone?

Furthermore, since the other party has already spread rumors among the people, even if they are convicted in a muddled way, the people will not feel that Yunzhu is innocent; they will only feel that it is a great relief.
