The man froze for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, "This is... I haven't seen it before."

"Since you haven't seen him before, why do you believe that person when he says he is Tang Luoyu?"

Bai Changlin sneered.

The man became impatient again, and hurriedly said: "She said it herself, and I also charge money to do things like a villain, so who cares who she is!"

Jing Zhaoyin also heard something was wrong, and stepped forward a few steps to Bai Changlin, "Master Bai, I think this matter is a bit strange, I'm afraid someone is playing tricks on it."

"That's right," Bo Changlin nodded, "Send someone to Xue's residence and call Xue Lince. Remember to bring a portrait of Tang Luoyu."

When Jing Zhaoyin heard the words, he summoned a young servant with quick legs and sent him on a trip.

The boy was gone for less than half a stick of incense, when Xue Lince hurriedly brought Tang Luoyu's portrait.

This man didn't recognize Xue Lince, and he didn't react at all when he saw him coming.

"Lin Ce," Bai Changlin said to him, although his voice was still stern, but he was much gentler, "This person is the thief who administered the medicine. He just confessed that Luo Yu ordered him to administer the medicine."

Surprised, Xue Lince contacted Bai Changlin to ask him to bring a portrait of his wife, and immediately made a wild guess about the matter.

He frowned, took out the portrait in his arms, unfolded it carefully and brought it to the man, "Just take a look, the person who ordered you is this woman?"

The man was sweating profusely. He wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, then squinted his eyes to look at the portrait for a long time, and finally said after a long while: "No, the woman who gave me money and medicine has a bigger face. The nose is also longer, and the eyes are smaller."

Xue Lince breathed a sigh of relief, and in order to confirm it, he said more severely: "You can see clearly, it is really not this person?"

The man shook his head like a rattle, "I saw the woman who ordered me face to face. She looks completely different from this one. The villain is sure of that."

Hearing this, Xue Lince put away the portrait, and exchanged a glance with Bai Changlin.

"Do you know that the person I showed you just now is the real Mrs. Xue?" Bai Changlin glanced at the man, "It's really not her?"

The man was startled, "She is Mrs. Xue? Impossible! The woman who gave money to the villain is definitely not her!"

"Stop talking nonsense," Xue Lince interrupted him, "Since you have seen the woman's appearance clearly, you can describe it clearly, come here, the four treasures of the study."

The boys started to act one after another, and after a while, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were presented together. The man swallowed his saliva, and had no choice but to dutifully describe the appearance of the real mastermind behind the scenes.

After drawing last time, Xue Lince was much more proficient this time, and quickly drew the appearance of the culprit. It was clearly a woman she didn't know at all, and her appearance was not even half similar to Tang Luoyu.

"But this person?"

He spread the portrait in front of the man.

"It's her! It's her!" The man exclaimed in surprise, "It's exactly the same!"

Hearing this, Bai Changlin took a few steps forward and took over the drawing paper from Xue Lince's hand. After looking at it for a while, the two brows twitched at the same time, because neither of them had any impression of the woman in the painting.

In order not to startle the snake, the two did not hang up the portrait, but rolled it up and took it back to Bai's house.

It was afternoon at this time, the sun was just right, the sun was shining brightly, making people limp and weak in the sun, and there were many green bamboos planted in the courtyard, with lush branches and leaves, which blocked the hot sun outside and just faded away the summer heat.

Mrs. Zhao prepared tea, and as soon as she entered the room, Xue Lince smelled a refreshing fragrance.

The two brothers sat down in the hall, and Xue Lince unfolded the drawings and observed them carefully, trying to get some new clues.

"Isn't the matter cleared yet?"

Mrs. Zhao came in carrying a pot of sour plum soup. Her voice was calm and her face was calm, but her eyebrows were slightly frowning, and her face was a bit haggard.

"There's no definite date yet," Bai Changlin shook his head wearily, "There is still a black hand behind the scenes manipulating it, and the person who gave the drug has been caught today, but neither Lin Ce nor I have seen the culprit he confessed to. I asked the yamen, but no one recognized him."

Mrs. Zhao sighed softly, "Why don't you post the portrait?"

"Hey," Bo Changlin waved his hand, "This matter is still a family matter, and it's not time to arrest the criminal, so it's better not to post this portrait."

Mrs. Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, she nodded helplessly, and then stepped forward to share the sour plum soup between the two.

While pouring water, she caught a glimpse of the portrait in Xue Lince's hand, and her heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened. There was no other reason, all because she recognized the woman on it!
"Is this the culprit?" She raised her voice a few degrees, her eyes lit up with unbelievable light, and her temples twitched twice.

The two of Bai Xue were also startled when they saw her, "Do you recognize her?"

Mrs. Zhao didn't say anything, but hurriedly took the drawing paper from Xue Lince's hand, unfolded it fully, and looked at it carefully again, the disbelief in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by a layer of obvious anger.

"I can't be wrong," she gritted her teeth, as if speaking to the two of them or talking to herself, "it's her."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and asked at the same time: "Who is it? Do you recognize her?"

Mrs. Zhao calmed down quickly, then raised her head, and said softly, "This is Liu Xiang's granddaughter-in-law, Liu Zishao's wife. She is arrogant and arrogant, and she doesn't bother to befriend others, so few people know her. I saw her before she was married, and although her face is round now, she must be unmistakable!"

"Okay!" Bai Changlin got annoyed at once, and slapped the table hard, and the porcelain piled on it made a crackling and colliding sound.

"This woman actually made an idea of ​​coming to the Bai family, and dared to pretend to be Tang Luoyu's identity. She has more than ulterior motives!"

He scolded, and then his face suddenly froze. He grabbed the blueprint in Mrs. Zhao's hand, raised his legs and walked out, "Today I will go to the Liu family to ask for an explanation! My Bai family and the Liu family have no grievances or enmity. I want to see how these people argue!"

Mrs. Zhao was startled, but since it was too late to stop him, she could only let him go. Xue Lince was worried, and also chased after him.

Both of them were very angry, the Bai family and the Liu family were not far away, the two senior brothers walked all the way, and within less than a cup of tea, they appeared in front of the gate of the prime minister's mansion.

The guard at the gate looked at the angry two people and was startled, and tried to stop them, but was stopped by Bai Changlin, and then the two walked directly into the yard holding the blueprint.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the maid in the front yard hurried to the hall to inform Liu Xiang. He was surprised when he heard that someone came to the door, but then quickly regained his composure.
