Wen Chen's tall horse was being led by a Jin Yiwei. Lan Ying'er walked up to the horse and was about to get on Wen Chen's horse as usual, but she heard Wen Chen coldly say to a Jin Yiwei: "You put the horse on the horse. Come out to Miss Lan."

"Yes."

That Jin Yiwei led his big black horse to Lan Yinger.

Lan Ying'er blushed immediately, looked at Wen Chen with a pitiful expression: "Master Wen, I, I don't know how to ride a horse."

Wen Chen frowned slightly. He originally thought that he should keep a distance from this girl in the future, so as not to be disturbed by her and to think wildly all day long.

But at this moment, when she heard that she couldn't ride a horse, she felt a little helpless. She glanced at her horse, and then looked at her: "Get on the horse!"

The corners of Lan Ying'er's lips curled up, revealing a pair of dimples at the corners of her mouth, she quickly stepped on the saddle and got on the horse's back.

Su Qi watched Wen Chen get on the horse with a cool face, hurriedly led the horse to Wen Chen's side, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you want Miss Lan to sit on my horse?"

Wen Chen glanced sideways at Su Qi, and then pulled the horse's head. Su Qi's horse neighed in shock, and its two front legs stood up, causing Su Qi to stagger and almost fall.

Su Qi stabilized his horse, but he wasn't annoyed, he just smiled and looked at Wen Chen and Lan Ying'er who were walking forward, shook his head, and whispered to the subordinates beside him: "Brother is so tender."

The subordinate snickered and nodded.

Jin Yiwei and his party walked on the street in a mighty manner. According to Lan Yinger's knowledge, Qin Shihai bought a large mansion next to his uncle's uncle, General Gu's mansion after his grandfather and father passed away one after another. Surprisingly, the place they went to was not the road of the General's Mansion, but a small house in an alley after walking a few streets in the opposite direction.

The rules of this small courtyard are similar to those of Su Yu's. It is very simple to enter three rooms.Due to the regulations of the imperial court, there should be no more than three common people's halls, so there are especially many small houses with this layout in the capital.

After dismounting from the horse at the gate of the small house, Lan Yinger saw Wen Chen throwing the reins to his subordinates and walked in with her hands behind her back. She didn't dare to catch up and ask, so she moved closer to Su Qi and asked, "Where is this place?" Where?"

Su Qi said: "This house belongs to Qin Shihai's outer room, he died in this house last night."

Lan Yinger nodded: "That's how it is!"

Qin Shihai's body was still placed in this small house, guarded by four yamen servants and two Jinyi guards from Yingtian Mansion.

It was inconvenient to investigate the scene at night, it was Wen Chen's order that the scene was not allowed to be destroyed, and the corpses were not allowed to be taken away.

There was a lot of noise in the small courtyard, and the Jin Yiwei inside saw Wen Chen coming, and hurried forward to report that Qin Shihai's mother and wife had come, and they wanted to take the body away. Qin Shihai's outer chamber was lynched, and Luanyu in the outer chamber was beaten till he was left breathless.

When Wen Chen stepped into the threshold, he saw two women in plain dark clothes walking towards him, one old and one young. The old woman was Qin Shihai's mother Shui Shi, and the one supporting her was Qin Shihai's wife Wei Shi .Both held silk handkerchiefs and wiped away their tears.

"My lord, my son died in vain, please make the decision for him!" Shui Shi said and wanted to kneel down to Wen Chen.

Wen Chen hurriedly helped Shui Shi up, and said: "Madam, please express my condolences. Ying Tianfu and Jin Yiwei will work together to find out the truth about your son's case."

Wei wiped his tears and said: "My lord, it is said that my husband committed suicide in fear of crime. This is really unfair. It is absolutely impossible for my husband to kill those five judges."

Wen Chen said: "Young Madam, whether your husband committed suicide in fear of crime or homicide can only be determined after the case is clarified. What is rumored in the market is just someone else's imagination." Then he looked at the old woman Shui Shi, "So please Madam Go home first with the young lady and wait."

Wei glanced at the courtyard angrily, and there was a woman lying on the ground, covered in blood.She turned her gaze back to Wen Chen's side: "My lord, since my husband is dead, the corpse should naturally go home. It's really shameful to put it here." My man died on the other side of the outer room, and the corpse cannot be returned. It really made her real wife so heartwarming.

The woman in the courtyard who was beaten bloody was Qin Shihai's waifu Luanyu.

Wen Chen's eyes were cold: "Until the case is clarified, the corpse must not be moved. This must have been explained to the young lady by the Yamen." He also glanced at the outer room, "And the young lady is lynching at the place where the case happened. Both reason and law are inconsistent, and please ask the young lady to go home first, the woman is still suspected, if you beat her to death, the case will not be clear."

Wei Shi looked at Luan Yu in the outer room, gritted his teeth and said, "It must have been this vixen who poisoned my husband to death." She turned to look at Wen Chen, and suddenly knelt down towards him, "My lord, please be sure to kill her." Bring her to justice and never let her go."

Wen Chen didn't help her, but said coldly: "If it is found out that she is the murderer of your husband, I will send her to the Ministry of Criminal Justice according to the law, but before it is found out, please cooperate with the young lady." Outside of the investigation, don't meddle in this matter."

Seeing that her husband's body was not returned, Wei was inevitably a little discouraged, but he had no choice but to say to her mother-in-law: "Mother, let's go home first, anyway uncle will be back soon, and then let him be the master for us. "The uncle she was talking about was General Gu.

Shui Shi looked at the coffin in the hall, and wept bitterly again, his body was going limp from crying, Wei Shi hurriedly called for the maid, who helped Shui Shi out of the small house, and climbed onto the door that stopped the door. Big carriage.

Lan Ying'er saw Wei Shi go out the door, and gave Luan Yu another hard look, that look seemed to be spitting poison.

After Qin Shihai's mother and wife left, the small house finally became quiet, except for Luan Yu, who had been beaten to the brink of death, moaning in pain.

Lan Ying'er quickly walked over, squatted down and looked at Luan Yu lying on the ground, seeing that her face had been slapped to the point where she was disfigured, just now she noticed that Wei Shi's hand was a little red and swollen, it must have been Wei Shi's hand slapped.Also, her leg seemed to be broken, and the shirt on her back was oozing with bloodstains, which showed how viciously the guards from the General's Mansion had beaten her.

Wen Chen walked over.

Jin Yiwei, who was in charge of guarding Qin Shihai's body, reported to Wen Chen: "My lord, the humble job has been inspected by others, and there is no trace of fighting in the house. According to the mother who served Luan Yu, after Qin Shihai's evening meal yesterday evening, the mother was in the kitchen. When she heard the cry, Qin Shihai was already dead. It has been found that there is no poison in the tea soup, nor in the food and drinks."

After Wen Chen arrived at the scene last night, due to insufficient light, it was inconvenient to investigate the case. In order not to damage the scene, he only ordered Wu Zuo to take Qin Shihai's blood and the contents of his stomach.

Wen Chen: "Can the plates and wine glasses be inspected?"

Jin Yiwei: "There are inspections, but there is no poison. But there is a box that is very suspicious."

Wen Chen: "Bring it here."

At this moment, Luan Yu turned her head to look at Wen Chen with difficulty, and cried, "My lord, I didn't kill Lord Qin, it wasn't me..."

Wen Chen looked at Luan Yu fixedly, but didn't speak.

Lan Ying'er raised her face and said to Wen Chen: "She is seriously injured, I need to find a stretcher to carry her for treatment."

Wen Chen frowned: "You want to send her to your Brother Ayu?"

Seeing that Wen Chen's handsome face was tense, Lan Ying'er felt that he seemed unhappy, so she asked, "If you don't send her to brother Ayu, how do you plan to arrange her, Master Wen?" By the way, he said Why do I always feel a little weird when I say "your Brother Ah Yu"?

Wen Chen was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the subordinates beside him: "Get a stretcher, arrange a carriage, and take her to Dr. Su who turns right and then turns left in Tangzi Alley."

After the subordinates bowed their hands, they started to arrange the carriage and stretcher first.

Seeing that Luan Yu's legs were bent and out of shape, Lan Ying'er was worried that the stretcher would cause a second injury, so she found a wooden plank in the yard, picked up a shirt that was thrown aside and tore it into cloth No, she thought the shirt should belong to Luan Yu.She fixed the plank on Luan Yu's leg and tied it with cloth strips.

Wen Chen squinted at Lan Ying'er's concentrated appearance, and thought that this girl actually understood this, and she seemed to have learned it from Su Yu.

In the process of binding Luan Yu's leg bones, Lan Yinger quickly asked, "Luan Yu, Qin Shihai was poisoned, how did he get poisoned?"

Just now Wen Chen said that when he arrived last night, Luan Yu was frightened and passed out because he also drank some wine, so there was no interrogation.

Luan Yu swallowed her thirsty throat from screaming in pain, and seemed a little speechless.

Lan Ying'er glanced at Wen Chen hurriedly, and Wen Chen ordered his subordinates to bring water for Luan Yu to drink.

It wasn't until Luanyu drank the water that Luanyu endured the great pain, and said in a very weak voice: "During dinner yesterday, Lord Qin was in a bad mood, so I went to warm the wine for Lord Qin to drink, and I also drank a few times with you. After eating the wine, I boiled water and made a bowl of tea for Master Qin to drink, but Master Qin suddenly vomited blood before holding the tea cup, and passed away after a while. But I swear to the sky..." She stretched out her blood-stained hand to the sky, "I definitely didn't kill Master Qin, never..." As she spoke, her body went limp and she fell into a coma.

Wen Chen was holding a small exquisite mahogany box, and was going to ask Luan Yu about the small wooden box, but seeing that she had passed out, he handed the small wooden box to Lan Yinger.

Lan Ying'er opened the wooden box, and smelled the sweet smell that remained inside. There was also a different smell in this smell, which seemed a little familiar.

She looked up at Wen Chen: "This wooden box must be a kind of dessert, a very sweet dessert, and it is poisonous."

Wen Chen nodded slightly: "I'll show it to your Brother Ayu."

Lan Ying'er: "..." It's your Brother Ayu again!

Damn, Mr. Wen must have taken a fancy to brother Ayu, he is jealous of me.

At this time, the stretcher had already been brought over, and the two Jinyi guards carefully carried Luan Yu onto the stretcher, and then sent it to the carriage.

Wen Chen asked his subordinates to bring over Madam Hu who was serving Luanyu.

Madam Hu was probably frightened a lot, her body was shaking all the time, she couldn't even straighten her back.

Seeing that Nanny Hu didn't dare to look up at him, Wen Chen glanced at Lan Yinger, thinking that if Lan Yinger were to interrogate him, it would be easier to ask questions.

Lan Ying'er understood the meaning, and hurriedly walked to Madam Hu, helped her, and let her sit down on the chair, and then asked softly, "Mother Hu, what happened after dinner last night?"

Nanny Hu looked up at Lan Yinger, saw that she had a lovely face, she felt relieved inexplicably, and said, "After dinner yesterday, Master Qin and the girl went to the living room after eating. The girl made a pot of water and put it on the stove to cook. Later, the old slave went to take the dishes and chopsticks on the table to the back kitchen for cleaning. Later, when the old slave heard the girl yelled, he hurried over and went. At that time, I found that Master Qin had vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the girl also passed out."

Lan Ying'er handed the small wooden box to Nanny Hu: "Nurse Hu, have you seen this little wooden box?"

Madam Hu shook her head, expressing that she had never seen it before.

Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Wen Chen asked his subordinates to take Hu Nanny into custody temporarily, and then took Lan Ying'er into the hall to see Qin Shihai's body.
