Yun Xi took back her hand and Qingmu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Xiang Ji doesn't obey, she will be exposed.

This jade pot has been dripped with medicinal juice by Yun Xi, neutralizing the original poison of oleander. Now let alone making tea, there is still residual poison of oleander, and the medicinal properties have been eliminated.

When the tea is actually poured into Xiang Ji's mouth and no poison is released, then the iron-headed Xiang Ji's mouth will be like a clam and he will be unable to ask any questions.

She and Lu Qingfan were betting that Xiang Ji was lucky and that he was afraid of death.

Not to mention Yun Xi, the interrogating officer who held his breath and saw Xiang Ji let go was also frightened.

It’s so exciting!

The "torture and extortion of confessions" carried out by Mr. Lu and Yun Wu is really heart-rending and thrilling!

However, it was very effective. It pinpointed Xiang Ji's weakness and forced him to change his mind immediately!

Yun Xi retreated, and A-Shan, who had just restrained Xiang Ji, also let go. The frightened Xiang Ji lost his support and fell limply to the ground.

"Xiang Ji, why don't you call it for real!" Lu Qingfan was stunned. Xiang Ji, who was still immersed in the fear of death, raised his head in confusion, and then realized that he had already called it.

"...I poisoned my second brother to death, as you said."

Xiang Ji didn't even want to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The young prince who had lost his arrogance was actually so weak.

"Second brother, he is about to inherit the title. I was unwilling to accept it, so I secretly poisoned him." Xiang Ji laughed bitterly: "He and my wife have been in love for a long time, but I only heard about it in the hall today."

"We didn't..." Mrs. Wei, the young princess, covered her face and said in pain: "Why don't you believe it!"

"If you don't bother to take the pot away, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to discover my identity." Xiang Ji pursed his lips: "Why bother?"

This jade pot and halberd had been given to Xiang Zhun a long time ago so that he would not be suspected when he poisoned people to death.

It just so happened that his wife's behavior ruined the plan.

Lu Qingfan nodded, "That's true."

When Yun Xi told the autopsy results and speculated that someone had hidden something poisonous, Lu Qingfan already suspected that Xiang Ji was involved, but there was no evidence.

Now this "court trial" has not only alienated the relationship between the couple, but also found evidence and falsely confessed Xiang Ji. It really kills three birds with one stone.

"The words of Mr. Xiao Guo really hurt people's hearts."

Yun Xi defended Mrs. Xiaoguo in a deep voice: "Mrs. Xiaoguo acted like this just to protect Mr. Xiaoguo. When she was about to be searched and humiliated, when you abandoned her, she was not thinking about herself, but about herself.

I want to hide this 'criminal evidence' for you."

If he didn't love his husband deeply, who would live in fear every day with a piece of evidence of poisoning and murder?

Xiang Ji's expression relaxed, and he lowered his head to look at the young lady who was weeping silently. After a moment, he said, "I let you down."

"Oh, you two poisoned my husband, and then you pretended to be in love in front of everyone? Xiang Ji, you killed your own brother just for the sake of being a mere Duke of the country. Do you know that he succeeded him because of you?

From the Duke’s Mansion!”

Guan said in pain: "You ruthless and unjust things, have you ever thought about the future of me and Jin'er?"

"For me? Are you out of your mind?" Xiang Ji said angrily: "He is doing it for power!"

"He is not." Guan said seriously: "If he is for power, there is no need to succeed you in the Duke's office at this time."

Lu Qingfan and everyone in the hall were silent.

The prince is in decline, and if the emperor wants King Yi to gain power, he will definitely suppress the many distinguished nobles who follow the prince's lineage.

The performance of the Duke of Jin in the imperial study room last time speaks for itself.

Xiang Ji and his wife were kept in the dark. Looking back at it now, they realized that it was probably the old Duke and Xiang Zhun who had discussed "abandoning the car to protect the commander" and found an excuse to "send" Xiang Ji out of the capital and join the army.

Wait for a while.

After the situation in the capital is stable, he will return and inherit the title.

This method of procrastination is an excellent method, but Xiang Ji has been arrogant and smooth for several years, and has developed some dissatisfaction with his brothers... which led to this tragedy.

Seeing Xiang Ji, he still didn't believe it. Lu Qingfan got up and walked to the back hall, then helped the old Duke of Jin out.

"You bastard!" The crutch in the old Duke of Jin's hand hit the ground hard, admitting his plan in front of everyone.

"Could it be that I killed my second brother by mistake?" Xiang Ji found it hard to believe it. All of a sudden, all that came to his mind was Xiang Zhun's good fortune, and he felt increasingly guilty and self-blame.

Yun Xi sighed: "If I had known today, why did I do it in the first place?"

Lu Qingfan helped the old Duke of Jin sit down and heard the old man whisper: "Master Lu, I have lost a son. I hope you will treat this beast kindly and make the rest of his life easier..."

The Holy Spirit said that he would personally investigate and solve the case, but the Duke of Jin could not do it without handing over the case.

Lu Qingfan pursed his lips and said: "It will not be difficult for me to be the Duke of a small country."

After saying this, he signaled to the officers to take the person into custody, and the young lady went into the prison to hear the trial and wait for the Holy Inquisitor's decision.

Facing the morning sun, the case of the Duke of Jin was solved.

Yun Xi and his entourage watched the old Duke of Jin getting into the carriage with the help of Guan, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning, and sighed in their hearts.

"The same goes for the old Duke of Jin. Why didn't he tell his eldest son about this plan? It caused such a big misunderstanding and cost the life of one of his sons." Chao Zhong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate murmured.

Yu Zhi, the master of Dali Temple, said in a low voice: "This is a serious matter. If all the big families use this method to 'escape the golden cicada', it will be considered as contempt for the emperor's power, and I am afraid it will attract the wrath of the Holy Emperor."

The more secretive the plan, the better it is that fewer people know about it.

Lu Qingfan watched the old Jin Duke and his entourage leave in a carriage with a complicated expression, and thought to himself that Xiang Zhun's "seizing the throne" might not be a cover-up.

At least according to the clues he investigated, this person is an ambitious man who is not willing to be subordinate to his elder brother and just serve as an idle servant of the clan.

This is not enough for outsiders to understand.

There are still two cases that have not been solved. Lu Qingfan suggested that everyone take a break for a few hours before continuing to sort out the autopsy results of the other two cases and deduce the murderer.

After everyone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple said goodbye, Yun Xi and his entourage sat down and rested in Master Ran's mission room.

She yawned delicately, wiped the tears from her eyes, and took a nap on Qingguo's shoulder.

"Great, we solved one case in one day; if the last two cases maintain this speed, wouldn't it be enough for us to stay up for three nights?"

Ran Piao was still excited after watching a wonderful court trial. He pulled Master Ren who was dozing off excitedly and said, "The emperor will not reward us with another gold plaque by then!"

Yun Xi was so excited by what he said that she quickly sat up straight and said, "Don't give me a plaque, I'm afraid."

Yun Xi got goosebumps when she thought of the name "Yipin Wu Zuo".

"It's not that easy." Lu Qingfan pursed his lips and said, "The case of the Duke of Jin is quite special, so it's easier to make inferences."

Although it was a murder case, Master Ran provided quite complete files, which allowed Lu Qingfan to make reasonable deductions. In addition, the deep dissatisfaction between the two brothers gave him the luck to solve the case quickly.

"Does Second Master Xiang and Mrs. Xiaoguo have any relationship..." Qingguo secretly stretched out his two index fingers and tapped them together.

"Mrs. Xiaoguo is telling the truth." Yun Xi said softly: "Those Xue Tao notes don't look like those given by Mrs. Xiaoguo."

It is not known how Xiang Zhun was taken away.

[Author's digression]: Xiang Zhun:???Please let me go!

Yun Xi:...Sir, what did he do?

Lu Qingfan: I often do bad things.

Yun Xi: Okay, get on the knife.
