Before Ning Ziqing could answer, a man squeezed into the courtroom and pointed at Master Liu and said angrily: "Mom, it's my father's wife who wants to kill me!"

Mr. Liu and the old lady were stunned on the spot.

The dead Mr. Liu suddenly appeared in front of everyone. The people kneeling in the hall were so frightened that they repeatedly exclaimed: "It's a fake corpse!"

"Master Liu is not dead?" Everyone was shocked.

"What exactly is going on?"

Jing Zhaoyin was stunned for a moment, then stood up in shock.

Huo Yunjue's face was full of suspicion. He raised his eyes and saw Ning Ziqing winking at him slyly, and he immediately understood.

It was the little fox who did this. Huo Yunjue sighed and chuckled, motioning for her to continue.

Ning Ziqing smiled proudly and explained to everyone: "Actually, this case is not complicated. Zhong Jiu knew that Mr. Liu was in poor health and deliberately invited him to the Sifang Building to get together, but secretly tried to frame Mr. Liu. Sifanglou and me. After he sent Mr. Liu back yesterday, he went to Mr. Liu's outer room again. He instigated her to take this opportunity to get rid of Mr. Liu so that Mr. Liu could take her back to the Liu Mansion. "

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone looked at Mr. Liu strangely for having an extramarital affair.

Hearing the malicious comments, Mrs. Liu was stunned, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

Mr. Liu kept wiping his sweat in panic.

Ning Ziqing grinned, looked at Mr. Liu and his wife with gloating, and continued:

"The Liu family only has an only son, Mr. Liu. He has been in poor health since he was a child and has not yet been married. Mr. Liu is worried that he will have no heirs, but he is also afraid of the power of Mrs. Liu's natal family, so he has never dared to take a concubine. He had to secretly raise her outside many years ago. He had an outhouse and had a son and a daughter."

"Yesterday, at the instigation of Zhong Jiu, for the future of himself and his two children, the outer room secretly bribed the housekeeper of Liu Mansion to poison Mr. Liu's medicine, which caused Mr. Liu's condition to suddenly worsen and he almost died. Fortunately, The people I sent found out in time and rescued him, and then I used the trick to convince Mr. Liu to pretend to be sick and gave him the "Guixi Pill" that made people fake death. Everyone knows what happened after that."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her whole body trembled violently, and she looked at Mr. Liu in shock.

Mr. Liu shrank in fear and panicked: "Madam, listen to me..." Before she could finish her words, Mrs. Liu slapped Mr. Liu hard on the face, making him scream repeatedly.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she grabbed Mr. Liu's lapel and said bitterly: "Liu Tianzhong, you beast, the little bitch you raised actually wants to kill my son. You two adulterers and adulterers will not die well!"

For a moment, there was chaos in the hall, and Mrs. Liu got into an emotional struggle with Mr. Liu.

Yuanli was worried that they would hurt Ning Ziqing, so he protected her and retreated to the door.

When Huo Yunchue saw this, he shouted angrily, "That's enough!" The hall fell silent instantly.

He stood up and looked at Jing Zhaoyin with a stern face and said impatiently: "Master Gao, it has been found that this case has nothing to do with Sifanglou and Miss Third. Immediately clear their names and let them go."

Meeting Huo Yunjue's cold eyes, Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help but feel nervous.

Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Jing Zhaoyin respectfully replied "yes", declared Sifanglou innocent in public, and released Ning Ziqing and Shopkeeper Hao.

Seeing that the matter was finally resolved, Huo Yunchue breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly towards Ning Ziqing.

Ning Ziqing and Shopkeeper Hao bowed and thanked Jing Zhaoyin. When they left, Ning Ziqing reminded him with a serious expression: "I would also like to ask you to investigate Zhong Jiu and Liu Mansion carefully. Maybe we can also interrogate the real people behind this." Who is the messenger?"

Jing Zhaoyin heard the hidden meaning behind her words and was suddenly shocked.

Knowing that there was more to the matter, he sent Huo Yunjue and the others away, not daring to slack off, and sat down again to continue the trial.

After leaving Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Jin Wuwei Zhonglang saluted Huo Yunjue and said goodbye.

After he walked away, Huo Yunjue pulled Ning Ziqing around to a corner and asked her, "You just said there was someone behind this incident? Who is it?"

"Master Jiarou County." Ning Ziqing replied bluntly, telling him what happened yesterday.

Huo Yunjue frowned: "She is really haunted. How about I have someone teach her a lesson and warn her to be more honest."

Ning Ziqing shook his head and rejected him: "This is a trivial matter, and it doesn't require His Highness the Fourth Prince to take action. I can handle it."

Huo Yunjue chuckled, stretched out his hand to smooth the hair in front of her forehead, and said angrily: "Why did you send yourself to jail? It would have been better if you just reported it to the police yesterday, so as to save you all the trouble today."

Ning Ziqing snickered twice, smiling with a cunning look on his face: "If I didn't make such a big fuss, they would think I'm easy to bully."

With that said, he took out a thick booklet from his sleeve and called Yuanli over, handed it to her and gave instructions.

"Yuanli, go back to the Liu Mansion and ask for ten times the price of today's funeral team. Our people have been busy for most of the day and we can't give them any advantage. Then spread the news that I have this booklet in my hand."

"I obey my orders!" Yuanli responded.

"What is this?" Huo Yunjue curiously took the booklet from Yuanli's hand and took it over to read.

""Secrets of Kyoto"?" Huo Yunjue was puzzled, "Where did you get this?"

Ning Ziqing raised his eyebrows and said: "I compiled it in my spare time. It records the little secrets of some important people in Kyoto. With this, let's see who dares to make trouble in front of me. If you dare to mess with me, I won't let him All the embarrassments of the eighteen generations of our ancestors have been exposed."

Seeing Ning Ziqing's arrogant look, Huo Yunjue couldn't laugh or cry.

"Who dares to offend a little bully like you, who is so vindictive? This time I'm going to give someone a funeral, and next time I'm afraid I'll dig up someone's ancestral grave."

He shook his head helplessly, returned the book to Yuanli, held Ning Ziqing's hand and said seriously: "Qingqing, although Kyoto is calm on the surface now, the secret struggle has never stopped. I don't want you to be involved. Promise me not to involve anything related to party strife, okay?"

Ning Ziqing knew that Huo Yunchue was concerned about her safety, so in order not to worry him, she nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Ah Jue, I will never put myself in danger. You should also be more careful about the second prince, he is not easy to deal with."

Huo Yunchue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her assurance.

"I will." He smiled happily, took Ning Ziqing's hand and walked towards a carriage parked ahead.

"I still have military affairs to deal with, so I can't send you back today. I'll come find you after I'm done for a while, okay?" Helping Ning Ziqing get into the carriage, Huo Yunchue explained to her softly.

Ning Ziqing turned around and stared at him reluctantly.

I saw him dressed in military uniform, standing in front of the carriage, with a tall and straight figure that was very heroic.

He looked at himself tenderly, and the corners of his lips curved beautifully.

The palms wrapped by him were feeling hot. Ning Zi's blue eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly turned around and quickly kissed Huo Yunjue on his eyebrows.

Gu Liaohe and the others who were standing not far away pursed their lips and snickered when they saw this.

Huo Yunjue was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, Ning Ziqing let go of his hand and entered the carriage.

He replied cheerfully.

"Then I'll wait for you!"

When Huo Yunjue heard her words, he curled up his lips and smiled happily.

Yaoyao came over angrily and climbed into the carriage, tutting sourly.

The two people showed off their affection in front of her without scruples. She barely noticed. When she opened the curtain and went in, Yaoyao noticed that Ning Ziqing's cheeks were flushed.

This man was actually shy.

Yaoyao glared and curled her lips in displeasure and complained: "Can you two be more careful in the future? Kissing me in front of me will hurt me a lot!"

Ning Ziqing smiled happily: "Why don't you find someone to show your affection?"

"No, I'm not interested." Yaoyao flatly refused.

After Huo Yunjue left on horseback, Gu Liaohe stepped forward to say hello and farewell to Ning Ziqing.

As soon as the carriage started, one of Gu Liaohe's subordinates ran back anxiously and said: "Sir, the poison in those people you brought back earlier has taken effect."

Gu Liaohe was startled and hurriedly stopped Ning Ziqing's carriage.

Upon hearing this, Ning Ziqing immediately ordered Yaoyao to go to Su Mansion to invite Su Yanqi, then called Gu Liaohe and got into a carriage to rush to Dali Temple.

The two people in the car looked at each other worriedly.

"Miss Third, if there is no antidote, we can't save these people." Gu Liaohe frowned.

Ning Ziqing panicked instantly. She didn't expect that Xu Zheng and others would be poisoned so early.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Ziqing calmed down and could only hope that Su Yanqi had concocted the antidote to "come and regret".

Yuanli drove the carriage speeding down the street.

Suddenly, the light outside the car dimmed, and in an instant, dark clouds rolled in from the blazing sky that had been clear just a moment ago, and dark gray clouds quickly covered the entire sky.

Outside the car window, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder, as if the sky was being torn apart.

In the blink of an eye, heavy raindrops began to pour down.

A thunder exploded above the carriage, shaking people's hearts.

Ning Ziqing closed her eyes tightly and covered her ears, feeling filled with uneasiness.
