The Dali Temple arrived very promptly, but their whereabouts were also very low-key. When Mu Gu asked his men to inform the Dali Temple Minister Jia Jingtian, he specifically left a message, which was not to make this matter public.

Therefore, when Jia Jingtian came to Zuiyun Tower, he brought two of his trusted subordinates with him.

Even though the people in the Dali Temple were experienced and had seen countless big scenes, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw the cause of Qin Yanwei's death.

This death is too tragic.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince was frightened, but I still need to bother your Highness the Seventh Prince and his wife."

Mu Gu raised his eyebrows to show that he didn't care, then looked at Xiao Ruge, who had the same attitude.

Jia Jingtian moved aside to make way for the exit.

"Then I will have to inconvenience His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and his wife to use the backdoor."

……

The group walked cautiously in the dark to the Dali Temple. Qin Yanwei was lying soundlessly on the table with a white cloth covering his face. Apparently, after being examined by the coroner of the Dali Temple, Qin Yanwei was confirmed dead.

After all, they were the Seventh Prince and his wife, so Jia Jingtian naturally did not dare to be too presumptuous. Even to the only two witnesses who might very well be the murderer, he respectfully invited them to sit in the hall and brewed the best tea and served them.

He listened quietly to Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge's account of what had happened. Although Jia Jingtian was afraid of the Seventh Prince and his men, he behaved very rigorously within his job responsibilities.

"So, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince asked me not to act in a high-profile manner. Do you not want to alert the people who killed Qin Yanwei?"

Mu Gu hummed softly.

"That's right. Just like I said, Qin Yanwei was not the mastermind behind the embezzlement of the national treasury's money. There was someone else behind it. Just when Qin Yanwei was about to reveal that name, he was assassinated. It was not a coincidence."

Jia Jingtian nodded thoughtfully.

"Your Highness has a point, but logically speaking, there are not many people who have the ability to control the Jinbu Division, so it is not difficult to investigate."

"That person wouldn't be stupid enough to contact Qin Yanwei personally."

Xiao Ruge's sudden words attracted everyone's attention. Mu Gu looked at them calmly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Jia Jingtian had long known that Xiao Ruge was General Xiao's only daughter, but he had never met her. When he met her today, he found that she was just as the rumors said, brave, resourceful, courageous and knowledgeable.

"Then please give me some advice, Madam Xiao?"

Xiao Ruge nodded. She was just thinking about this question. There were indeed not many people who had a vested interest in Qin Yanwei's car, but since that person could make Qin Yanwei do such a thing without anyone noticing, he must not be a simple person.

The means are unfathomable.

"Since he dared to assassinate the person we found in front of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, he must have calculated that we would not be able to find his contact."

Upon hearing this, Jia Jingtian nodded in agreement. In other words, they were now in a passive situation and almost in a dead end. Thinking of this, Jia Jingtian couldn't help but frowned.

For some reason, Kyoto has been busy with many cases, both big and small, these days, which has kept him busy and overwhelmed. It was not easy to get things done a while ago, but now such a complicated matter has appeared again.

It’s difficult. Very difficult.

"I do have a way to lure the snake out of its hole."

Jia Jingtian's eyes, which had been dull just now, suddenly lit up again. If someone could provide him with a solution and he didn't have to rack his brains on his own, why not do it?

"Please, Madam, tell me about it?"

Xiao Ruge thought about it for a while and thought that this method should be determined first before speaking. He turned to look at Mu Gu, who had been admiring his wife's heroic figure beside him.

The latter came to his senses when he noticed the gaze fixed on him.

"what happened?"

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, I think whether this method will work depends on the emperor's opinion, so..."

This time, Mu Gu didn't let Xiao Ruge wait and stood up immediately.

"I understand. We will go to see the emperor tonight. You, Jia Siqing, just wait for our good news. There is no need to be too anxious." After saying that, he took Xiao Ruge's hand and walked out of the morgue.

No matter how anxious Jia Jingtian was, he dared not say anything in front of these two ancestors. He could only force a smile and send the two men out of the Dali Temple gate, and then obediently arranged a carriage for them and watched them go to the palace.

"Boss? Do you believe them?"

Jia Yunsheng, Jia Jingtian's chief confidant, after following his boss's work for half a night and listening to their conversation, it was obvious that he did not believe what Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge had just said.

What Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge said just now seemed more like an excuse to leave the Dali Temple as soon as possible.

Jia Yunshui raised his hand and hit Jia Yunsheng on the head with the scabbard of his sword. Then he heard Jia Yunsheng's cry of pain and a resentful look.

"Yunshui, what are you doing!"

Jia Yunshui just glanced at Jia Yunsheng indifferently and spoke lightly.

"Are you stupid? Qin Yanwei has a grudge against His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince? And against Madam Xiao?"

Jia Yunshui thought he had made himself clear enough, but when he saw Jia Yunsheng's confused expression, Jia Yunshui just wanted to roll his eyes at this stupid Jia Yunsheng.

"What do you mean?"

When Jia Yunsheng asked this question, Jia Yunshui could no longer bear it and rolled his eyes to the sky.

"If I say you're stupid, you really are stupid!"

Being scolded by Jia Yunshui in such a senseless manner, he immediately became furious.

"Don't play tricks on me! If you have something to say, just say it straight!"

Jia Yunshui really didn't want to waste time arguing with this idiot, so he turned his head and kept silent. Jia Yunsheng's eyes widened and he was ready to step forward and resolve the conflict with force.

Jia Jingtian couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. Seeing that the two guys were about to fight, he quickly stood between the two men.

"Okay, okay, calm down, both of you."

Jia Jingtian looked at the two guys who turned their heads away and didn't look at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He really had a miserable life. In addition to the work of the Dali Temple, he also had to deal with the conflicts that occurred from time to time between his two cronies.

"His Highness the Seventh Prince has no grudge against Qin Yanwei, so he will naturally not kill Qin Yanwei. It will not benefit them, and will only cause trouble for them."

The question was raised by Qin Yunsheng, so once someone answered it, they would naturally come forward to get to the bottom of it.

"But Qin Yanwei is a corrupt official. Does His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince need a position to kill him?"

Jia Jingtian shook his head, looked at the direction where Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge left not far away, and spoke slowly.

"Even if His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince wants to kill him, why would he do it himself for such a small fry? Just ask someone to do it."
