Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Bai Hongxian raised his eyelids and looked at him: "How is Mrs. Jiang doing?"

"To answer your question, sir, those wasps are extremely poisonous. One or two of them could kill a person, let alone a group of them."

Bai Hongxian frowned. If someone was killed, it would be a big case.

"Is your life in danger?"

The doctor did not give a direct answer, but said: "I will do my best."

Bai Hongxian waved his hand, and his attendants took the doctor out.

He leaned back in his chair and knocked on the paper bag on the table. "Madam Hou, the evidence is irrefutable. Do you have anything else to explain? I saw this thing with my own eyes. It fell out of your sleeve."

He slammed his palm on the table: "You still want to deny it!"

Liu's face had already turned pale at this moment. She was so frightened by this palm that her body trembled involuntarily: "No, it's impossible! This thing is not mine. I have never hidden such a thing. Someone must be trying to frame me!"

Bai Hongxian snorted softly: "Madam Hou, you have to provide evidence when you speak. There are so many people here and so many eyes are watching us. If you say someone wants to harm you, tell me who that person is!"

Bai Hongxian's two words, neither light nor heavy, blocked her previous words.

Liu's forehead was covered with sweat. She really couldn't remember how this thing appeared in her sleeve. She had no idea who put it in.

Who exactly wants to harm her?

"I said this thing is not mine, and it is definitely not mine. Lord Bai, you are the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. You can find out the origin of this thing by checking its origin. I have never bought it, let alone let the servants in the prefecture buy it. I am innocent."

Compared to before, Liu's voice was even lower, a little anxious, and even a little pleading.

But Bai Hongxian didn't seem to buy her story, and said in a businesslike manner: "Madam Hou, you don't need to teach me how to solve the case. I will send people to investigate. But now, I have to trouble Madam Hou to accompany me to the Jingzhao Prefecture Prison."

"No, I won't go! This thing is not mine, I haven't done it, I won't go!"

Liu shouted that if she was taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison today, her life would be over.

Her daughter's face has been disfigured and she can't get married, but she still has a son.

The Marquis would definitely divorce her for the sake of his son. Even if she could be proven innocent later, he would never tolerate her.

Bai Hongxian stood up: "Madam Hou can't not go."

He shouted outside, "Someone come."

Immediately, two yamen runners came in and stood on Liu's left and right.

Bai Hongxian stared at her and said calmly, "Madam Hou, please."

Liu's face was as pale as paper. The Jingzhao government office was a very bad place. Even if people didn't die, they would be skinned alive if they went in.

"Master Bai, please send someone to check who bought this thing, okay? I really haven't done this before, and I can't go to the Jingzhao prison."

Bai Hongxian was unmoved: "Madam, there are so many people watching outside. Do you want me to escort you out, or do you want to go out by yourself? It will not look good if someone escorts you."

"Master Bai, are you really going to do this? You don't even show me any mercy? I am a marquise after all. My husband and Master Bai have served in the same court for decades. We have seen each other every day. Please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future."

Bai Hongxian raised his hands and said, "I am the emperor's salary and I am loyal to him. Handling the case impartially is my way of repaying the trust placed in me by the emperor and the crown prince. Madam Hou, you should keep your words to yourself."

After saying that, he turned around and opened the door.

Outside the door, everyone stood there, waiting for the result of Bai Hongxian's interrogation.

Liu said nothing more, raised her head and strode outside.

However, when the door opened and she saw her husband, Liu suddenly felt a surge of grievances in her heart.

Tears welled up immediately: "My Lord, I didn't do it. Someone framed me. I didn't do it."

Yongning Marquis Su Yueming had an extremely cold expression on his face. He cupped his hands and said to Ling Yan, "Fifth Prince, my wife would never do such a thing. She must have been wronged. Please investigate clearly."

Ling Yan raised his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why is Marquis Yongning so anxious? Lord Bai is deeply trusted by my father. He has been the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture for more than ten years. He has handled hundreds of cases, if not thousands, and has never made a mistake in handling a case."

"If the Marquis' wife really didn't do this, Lord Bai would never wrongly accuse her. However, now that all the evidence points to the Marquis' wife, I can't be partial, right?"

Liu broke free from the guard's hand and knelt in front of Ling Yan: "Fifth Prince, I really didn't do it. It must be Jiang's trick to harm me!"

Hearing this, Lu Ziqi was furious and said, "What a vicious woman who confuses right and wrong! If my wife wanted to frame you, why would she risk her own life to harm you? Now she is still unconscious, and the doctor said she is in critical condition, but you are here slandering her!"

Lu Ziqi also knelt down in front of Ling Yan: "Your Highness, I beg you to severely punish the murderer!"

Li Shuangxi, who was standing behind the crowd, trembled involuntarily twice, clenched her hands tightly together, and forced herself to remain calm.

She did it very cleanly and no one would know it was her.

When Qiao'er bought it, she reported Shuang'er's name.

And Shuang'er had died of illness several months ago.

Moreover, she asked Shuang'er to buy several kinds of medicinal herbs, which she ground into powder herself.

The most important thing is that one of the medicines was extra when she bought it half a year ago.

She didn't understand pharmacology and didn't have any extra money, so she just mixed those strong things together.

However, she didn't understand why the mixture she made became a medicine that attracted poisonous wasps.

Besides, the medicine she made didn't have any fragrance.

Li Shuangxi didn't understand what went wrong.

Liu was speechless after hearing Lu Ziqi's question. She had just heard the conversation between the doctor and Bai Hongxian. It was still unknown whether Jiang could be saved.

She knew very well that it was impossible for a person to risk his own life to harm her.

She and Jiang family have always been at odds with each other, and the person behind the scenes took advantage of this to frame her.

Who is it, and who has a grudge against both of them?

Now she had no way to defend herself and could only beg Bai Hongxian to find the person who bought the poison powder as soon as possible.

Liu was taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture prison by the bailiffs.

At this time, Fan Jiang, who had gone to seal up Yanxue Pavilion, also came back: "Sir, I found a batch of materials used to make gouache in the warehouse of Yanxue Pavilion. After investigation, I found that they are poisonous. I have ordered people to seal up all Yanxue Pavilions in Shengjing City."

Bai Hongxian nodded: "You did a good job."

Then he turned to Ling Yan and said, "Your Highness, I have an important case to attend to, so I have to leave first."

Ling Yan nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bai."

Lu Ziqi also bowed and said goodbye to Ling Yan.
