Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Without waiting for Xiao Qingyuan to speak, Gu Qianhan walked around him indifferently and went inside.

Originally, if Xiao Qingyuan could treat Shen Wantang well, he would not have spoken so harshly, nor would he have embarrassed Xiao Qingyuan in front of the entire Ministry of Justice.

But before he came to the Ministry of Justice, he went back to the Duke's Mansion, and the servant in the mansion told him that early this morning, Xiao Qingyuan had caused trouble for Shen Wantang again, and even complained that Shen Wantang had taken away his credit.

How could he bear this?

The woman he couldn't marry and didn't dare to touch, the woman he tried his best to protect, was actually despised by Xiao Qingyuan. He was very restrained in not kicking Xiao Qingyuan out.

Originally, he wanted to solve the case within three days so that he wouldn't appear to be too talented.

But he didn't want to wait anymore.

The case was solved extremely quickly within one day, which just slapped Xiao Qingyuan in the face.

He entered the case handling hall of the Ministry of Justice and began to give orders to his subordinates.

Lu Qiying and Xin Huailin no longer cared about Xiao Qingyuan at this moment. They stood on the left and right of Gu Qianhan, looking as if they were also following his orders.

Logically speaking, Gu Qianhan, a temporary official of the Ministry of Justice, was not as high in rank as Lu Qiying, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. However, Lu Qiying did not treat him as his subordinate. Instead, he was very aware of the situation and took the initiative to serve as Gu Qianhan's subordinate.

Who said Gu Qianhan had real talent and knowledge? Who said he was the nephew of the Queen? Who said he was the second son of the Duke's Mansion?

Any one of them would give one an identity that would allow him to walk all over the capital.

Lu Qiying is not a rookie who has just started out, so how could he possibly offend Gu Qianhan? He is very smart!

As for Xiao Qingyuan...

Lu Qiying looked back at him and saw him standing at the side of the hall with a gloomy face. He couldn't help but shook his head.

He had reminded Xin Huailin before that Xiao Qingyuan solved the case on a whim and would not take it too seriously, and asked him not to put too much hope on Xiao Qingyuan. However, Xin Huailin did not listen and treated Xiao Qingyuan as a life-saving straw.

Now? Didn't Xin Huailin also realize that the person who could really solve the case was Gu Qianhan? Otherwise, he wouldn't stand by Gu Qianhan.

The personnel of the Ministry of Justice were quickly deployed. Some went to follow Xiang Meng's father, some went to interrogate Xiang Meng's mother, some went to the Shen's house to look for clues, and some were arranged to go to the Xin's house to search carefully.

Everything was arranged in an orderly manner by Gu Qianhan.

But the only person that Gu Qianhan did not arrange to continue interrogating was Xiang Meng.

He didn't say the reason, but Lu Qiying felt that Gu Qianhan's idea should be the same as his.

Since Xiang Meng was able to kill all thirteen members of the Xin family, young and old, it was enough to show that he was extremely strong inside and a tough guy. Interrogation was meaningless to him.

Instead of spending the energy on interrogating Xiang Meng, it would be better to send more people to look for the bodies of the thirteen members of the Xin family.

The sky gradually darkened, and the moonlight shone on the winter snow that had not yet melted, making it appear pale and making the already oppressive Ministry of Justice even more solemn and murderous.

Time passed little by little, and the people sent out by Gu Qianhan came back one after another.

When one of them came back, Xin Huailin approached them expectantly and asked, "Do you have any clues? Any news about my family?"

However, everyone shook their heads at Xin Huailin.

The hope in Xin Huailin's eyes gradually turned into despair again.

Xiao Qingyuan watched from the side and said sarcastically, "Gu Qianhan, aren't you the number one genius in Dafeng? Why is it not working? I thought you were so capable, but in the end you are just like me, with nothing to show for it!"

"Oh, it's different. I'm not like you, making a fool of the entire Ministry of Justice. In such a cold day, you order them around and make it seem like you are so powerful."

"Everyone is intimidated by your pretentious aura, but in fact, you are just a paper tiger, with nothing but appearance."

Gu Qianhan sat in the main seat in the hall with an indifferent expression, and ignored Xiao Qingyuan's provocation.

He was reborn, so he actually knew where the bodies of the Xin family were buried.

However, he also had his own pride, and he disdained to use the advantages brought by his rebirth to deal with Xiao Qingyuan.

Among the people he sent out, there were naturally some who were arranged to go to the real burial place of the Xin family, but that place was quite far away, and he deliberately sent people there last, so the news naturally came back late.

He knew the result, so he was very calm.

But the rest of the people couldn't sit still anymore, and people in the hall began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

"We are not really going to work for nothing again, are we? The New Year is almost here. If we can't solve this case before the New Year, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves to the Emperor!"

"This case is not that easy to solve, otherwise the Dali Temple and Jinyiwei would have taken away the credit long ago. How could it be our turn in the Ministry of Justice?"

"But doesn't Mr. Gu have a clue? Just convict Xiang Meng. He has a strange poison from the Western Regions and a half needle hidden in his cheek. He is clearly the murderer."

"You are from the Ministry of Justice. How can you convict Xiang Meng with just these few clues? So what if he was poisoned by a strange poison from the Western Regions? Does this prove that she killed someone? This is only half of the evidence. The other half depends on whether our genius Master Gu can find it."

"Tsk, this is terrible. It's already midnight and almost all of us who went out have returned. It's still the same as the past few days. We found nothing. That Xiang Meng has wiped out all the traces!"

"Alas, I thought the genius would be different, but it turned out to be a false alarm. I think General Xin can hardly hold on any longer."

Gu Qianhan's hearing was much sharper than that of ordinary people. They thought they were speaking very softly and that he couldn't hear them, but in fact, he could hear everything.

However, he didn't care.

Whether in his past life or this life, he has never paid attention to what others think of him, is rarely shaken by external things, and will never doubt himself because of other people's doubts.

Xiao Qingyuan was visibly relaxed at this moment. He even walked leisurely in the hall, constantly swaying in front of Gu Qianhan.

From time to time, he heard people in the hall questioning the genius Gu Qianhan, which made him feel much better - it was not that he was incompetent, but the Xin family case was so difficult to solve that even a genius was helpless!

He glanced at the clock and saw that it was already midnight, so he patted Xin Huailin on the shoulder and said, "Huailin, it's getting late, come back with me to Prince Ning's Mansion! Take a rest first, it won't be too late to continue solving the case tomorrow. You've been wasting time here, don't let the case be solved by then and you collapse first."

Xin Huailin shook his head slightly. He said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Sir, I want to wait a little longer. There are still two people who haven't come back yet. Maybe they will bring back some clues."

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible. Do you really think Gu Qianhan can solve the case? He came here just to challenge me. He can't find any clues!"

However, as soon as Xiao Qingyuan finished speaking, a figure hurried in.

"Report! Lord Lu, Master Gu, our people found thirteen corpses in the south of the city!"
