The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

Princess Duanning has always been an object of admiration, and she was very surprised to see that the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was so rude to her.

Then he defended Bao Zhao: "He is my good friend. We came here together to watch the beast fight. Why, is that not okay?"

The Dali Temple official said slowly, "Of course you can, but the county lady should be more cautious in making friends."

Seeing that the man had a bad look on his face, Shen Baozhao cautiously lowered his head and followed beside Princess Duanning.

Princess Duan Ning has always looked down on others. There are not many people in the Dali Dynasty who can teach her a lesson. She was dissatisfied with this person's attitude of "I am doing this for your own good" and said, "Don't bother you to worry about this."

"Can I leave now? Oh, by the way, call my maids and servants here." Lady Duanning ordered the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.

The man had a stern face and was not respectful to her because of her status as Princess Duanning.

He refused: "I'm afraid not."

"The Sixth Prince was killed by a wolf. I came here to investigate immediately after receiving the notification from Brahma Mountain."

The Duanning County Lady was furious and shouted, "Do you suspect that I am the murderer of the Sixth Prince?"

The Dali Temple Minister explained calmly: "Until it is confirmed that this is an accident, everyone in Brahma Mountain today is a suspect."

"What's more, the princess was the other party in the beast fight with the Sixth Prince. According to common sense, the princess is also suspected, and the suspicion is not small."

Princess Duanning glared and frowned: "How dare you doubt me."

The Dali Temple official did not seem to take Lady Duan Ning's anger to heart, and said leisurely: "Does Lady Duan Ning not want to find out the truth and clear her suspicion as soon as possible?"

This person didn't care what Princess Duan Ning continued to say. He just stared at Shen Baozhao with sharp eyes and asked, "May I ask why the lady smells like Xuepo Pills?"

As he spoke, he paced around Shen Baozhao.

Shen Baozhao thought to herself that it was bad. In order to save Princess Duanning, she had not had time to wash off the smell of Xuepo Pills from her body.

The Xuepo Pill was naturally the thing that had stood behind the Sixth Prince and had been crushed and bounced to the side of the Sixth Prince using internal force.

However, she could guarantee that there was not a single particle of Xuepo Pill on her body, only a faint smell from contact with it.

She herself couldn't smell it. She thought to herself that this person must be born in the year of the dog, so his sense of smell was so sensitive.

She pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What is Xuepo Pill? I really don't understand what you are saying, sir."

"Whether you understand or not, it doesn't matter. Someone, take the person away for me." After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the officer to come forward.

At this time, Shen Jie Ling's voice came from outside the house: "Sister."

He just ran in, followed by Feng Feiyang and Mei Qianhe.

Mei Qianhe bowed to the Dali Temple official and said, "I wonder what crime Lord Xiao has brought against Miss Shen?"

When the Dali Temple official heard the words "Miss Shen Fourth", his eyes flickered and he asked, "Which Shen family is this Miss Shen Fourth from?"

Mei Qianhe said casually, "Of course she is the fourth daughter of the Ning'an Earl Shen family. Her father is the new director of the Imperial College, Mr. Shen."

After hearing what Mei Qianhe said, the man stared at Shen Baozhao and his sister for a few more seconds.

Someone happened to come and report: "Sir, Boss Jin said that a suspicious person was caught."

The Dali Temple Minister left with a group of people. When he walked out of the private room, he looked back at Shen Baozhao.

Shen Baozhao didn't understand why, but she knew that this person had doubts about her.

Then he bowed and thanked Mei Qianhe: "Thank you for today, Master Mei."

He helped me time and again, and today he saved Shen Jie Ling. Although Shen Baozhao was a little afraid of him because of the unfounded familiar feeling.

But today's thanks are sincere.

Seeing that Lady Duan Ning was still in the private room, Xiao Yuanhuai didn't know what to say. He just politely replied, "Miss Shen, you don't have to be polite."

He also reminded: "The man just now is the newly appointed Dali Temple Minister, young and promising, and can solve cases like a god."

Shen Baozhao nodded. Indeed, the man was very perceptive. He caught the slightest smell. But for some reason, he gave up asking further questions.

Xiao Yuanhuai soon answered Shen Baozhao's doubts: "This man's surname is Xiao, and he is the young master of Prince Yu's Mansion, Xiao Li."

The young master of Prince Yu's mansion? Isn't that the nephew of Nanhua County Lord, his cousin?

Shen Baozhao thought, no wonder this man stopped pursuing the matter when he heard that she was the daughter of the Ning'an Earl's Mansion and her father was the director of the Imperial College.

It turns out that this young and promising Dali Temple Chief who is as good at solving cases as a god would also let things slide.

Shen Baozhao no longer found this man with a serious face, as if someone owed him a hundred or eighty taels, annoying.

Shen Baozhao thanked Mei Qianhe again.

Shen Jie Ling, who was standing by, was also telling Shen Baozhao how Mei Qianhe had helped him and his friends out of trouble.

Seeing them thanking each other, Duan Ning County Lady became impatient. But seeing that this Mei Master was gentle and handsome, although not as good as her brother Xue Sheng, he was still pretty good in this imperial city.

Then he blushed and said, "Master Mei, you helped my friend's brother, so I, Duan Ning, owe you a favor."

Mei Qianhe hurriedly said, "I dare not." At this time, the servants of the Duanning County Master also came one after another.

He did not have the chance to talk to Shen Baozhao alone, so he said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Over there, Lady Duan Ning was still staring at Mei Qianhe's back in a daze.

And Brahma Mountain was not closed for long. After all, many of the people who came to watch the beast fights were children of powerful and wealthy families.

The officers caught a suspicious person but it was inconvenient to trap everyone in Brahma Mountain for a long time.

If this group of people go back and make trouble in front of their elders, the officials will submit memorials at the court tomorrow, and the Dali Temple will be in big trouble.

Shen Baozhao and Shen Jieling naturally followed Princess Duanning and went down the mountain in her carriage.

To express her gratitude, Lady Duanning sent Shen Baozhao back to the Ning'an Earl's Mansion, and reluctantly agreed that they would visit each other frequently.

On this side, Lord Xiao Lixiao, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, brought his men to meet with Jin Yuxin and others.

The bodies of Black Wolf, Man-Bear and the Sixth Prince were all carried into a hall. Of course, the Sixth Prince was noble, so he had already been buried in a coffin.

The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince also did not leave. The Sixth Prince was bitten to death, and they were both present. The Second Prince wanted to clear himself of suspicion.

The fourth prince was really sad. Although the Concubine Shu usually favored the youngest son, and the fourth prince was jealous of his younger brother, the two brothers also had feelings for each other.

He yelled at Xiao Li: "Why should we unseal Brahma Mountain? What if the murderer escapes?"

"My sixth brother died so tragically, you must find out the real culprit, otherwise I will make you pay for it!"

Xiao Li ignored the mad dog-like Fourth Prince.

The second prince couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Fourth brother, please save your energy."

"Everyone saw it. It was you who pulled our sixth brother over to block him. That's how our sixth brother fell into the wolf's mouth."

"You should wait until you return to the palace before pretending to be sad in front of your father. Maybe it will be of some use."

When the Fourth Prince heard the Second Prince's sarcastic remarks, he could not help but rush forward and the two of them started to fight.

Xiao Li had no choice but to order his men to pull the two apart.

Over there, the coroner finished dissecting the human bear and the black wolf, washed his hands, and walked up to Xiao Li.

He bowed and reported: "Sir Shaoqing, both the man-bear and the black wolf have been poisoned."

"The human bear was drugged, which will slowly make it lose its fighting power. The black wolf was drugged with the secret medicine of the Poison Star Valley."

Xiao Li said coldly: "Oh? The secret medicine of Poison Star Valley?"

"tell me the story."
