Di Xuegang hurriedly stepped forward to stop the man: "Who are you?"

The man claimed to be Zhao Yusi, Zhao Yufeng's brother. He knew that his little sister had run out to look for Feng Shaoning, so he followed him out, but he never thought that she was dead!

"I am the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. Now I have taken over Zhao Yufeng's case. Please be patient. I will take you back to Dali Temple now."

After Di Xue finished speaking, he separated a few people and took everyone back to Dali Temple with Chu Ran.

After returning to Dali Temple, Feng Shaoning was naturally imprisoned on suspicion of murder.

Zhao Yufeng's family members are also waiting at Dali Temple.

After Di Xue prepared everything, she followed Chu Ran into the room. The body of the female corpse on the stage was already somewhat swollen abnormally.

The whole body feels a little loose.

After Di Xue pulled out the arrow, the blood of the corpse flowed out, and the color was red and yellow.

Apparently it was the poison that caused the corpse's current condition.

And through dissection, Di Xue found that the internal organs in the female corpse had also dissolved to varying degrees.

It seems that this poison is very powerful. It can dissolve flesh and blood and turn people into a water-like state.

Looking at the female corpse on the stage, Di Xue had a question in her mind.

That's exactly how the rabbit disappeared.

Di Xue looked at the blood on the chest of the female corpse. It had not solidified yet, and it was getting more and more. The flesh of the corpse was also dissolving little by little.

She suddenly seemed to have figured out something and asked: "Is it possible that the rabbit you saw also decomposed like this corpse?"

Chu Ran was a little stunned by her question, and then returned: "You mean the rabbit we saw is fake?"

Di Xue nodded:

"The corpse has a lot of blood. If someone uses glutinous rice paper to make a rabbit look like it to lure Feng Shaoning to shoot an arrow. If the rabbit reaches Zhao Yufeng's chest and Feng Shaoning's arrow hits him, the rabbit made of glutinous rice paper will melt away with the blood, so it looks like An arrow hit Zhao Yufeng."

"It's very possible that if this person can use Zhao Yufeng to set up a game, he must know Brother Feng. Brother Feng loves hunting rabbits most, so we usually won't compete with him when we go to the hunting grounds!"

After Chu Ran finished speaking, Di Xue received: "And there were no other rabbits in the hunting ground that day."

"But if it is a fake rabbit, how can it be so fast? Moreover, the rabbit is moving. Although the movements behind it are stiff, it is still moving."

Di Xue nodded, recalled the scene at that time, and then returned:

"Maybe it's a real rabbit in front, but I might know how the rabbit moves behind."

"How?"

"You can tie a rabbit made of glutinous rice paper with a silk thread, and then hide it in the grass! When Feng Shaoning gets close, he will pull the thread to make the fake rabbit move, so there are traces of cutting on the grass."

After Di Xue finished speaking, Chu Ran nodded to express understanding, then left and went back to search ancient books to find out the source of the poison.

Han Shu walked in and looked at the state of the female corpse, which made him retching:

"Sir, the Zhao family is making trouble outside, saying they want Feng Shaoning to pay for it with his life!"

Di Xue waved her hand: "Send someone to keep an eye on the prison where Feng Shaoning is being held. No one can solve it privately until the truth comes out!"

Then she returned to the question of motive. Now it seemed that Feng Shaoning's case was planned by someone behind the scenes.

But why is it designed like this, and what is the purpose of the design?

Did he choose Zhao Yufeng because he wanted to frame Feng Shaoning, or did he choose Feng Shaoning because he wanted to get rid of Zhao Yufeng.

Or is it both?

Di Xue couldn't think of a clue for a while.

So Zhang Yinghanshu could only be summoned and decided to go to the residence of Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Industry to see what Zhao Yufeng was like.

Di Xue arrived at Zhao Mansion soon after riding in the city.

I saw that the front door of the mansion was deserted, with no servants looking after the door. The back of the door was also a bit shabby, but it was very simple.

After walking in, I heard the comments from people around me and an elderly aunt said:

"It is said that Minister Zhao is not taken seriously in the court. His qualifications are mediocre and he is snobbish, and no one promotes him."

Another aunt returned with a disdainful tone:

"It's just that if you think of using a girl to marry the young master of Feng Shangshu, people will look down upon you."

At this time a young woman interrupted:

"That's not necessarily true. I don't think she can have an affair. Maybe they want her to be younger."

The aunt then said:

"I think it's the outer chamber. If the outer chamber hadn't been able to promote it in Yuanjing like this, look at how self-contemptuous it is."

Another young woman obviously had a good impression of Feng Shaoning and returned:

"That's right, how could Mr. Feng marry her if he is so charming?"

Listening to what the woman said, the aunt joked:

"Hey, you met him a few times, and then you called Mr. Feng, but now your Mr. Feng has killed someone."

After listening to the discussion of several people, Di Xue did not stop, but knocked on the door, only to see the housekeeper coming out to open the door.

After the housekeeper knew that Di Xue was an official of Dali Temple, he immediately invited Di Xue into the house politely.

Di Xue saw that the landscaping in the mansion was very old and there were very few servants. It seemed that life was not easy.

"There's so much trouble today. Is Minister Zhao here?"

Di Xue asked the housekeeper and shook his head: "Master, he went fishing in the suburbs of the city, and everyone else in the family went to Dali Temple."

Di Xue nodded, but this is how unexpected it is for Minister Zhao. After such a big thing happened to his daughter, he can still go fishing!

"Is the mistress of the house here?"

The housekeeper shook his head again: "There is no mistress in the house. As early as ten years ago, the mistress reconciled with the master!"

After Di Xue learned about the situation, she also gave up the idea of ​​visiting and went straight to the point to see Zhao Yufeng's room.

After entering the room, I found that there were many paintings hanging in the room, all of them were portraits of Feng Shaoning, and the paintings were well preserved.

Then he looked inside the room, only to find that Zhao Yufeng did not have any ordinary eldest lady's jewelry, just a few simple silver hairpins and gilt bracelets.

It seems that Zhao Mansion is indeed relatively poor.

"Sir, unfortunately, another body has been fished out from the river. It looks like it was just dead!"

While Di Xue was checking Zhao Yufeng's room, Zhang Ying hurried in and said.

Di Xue hurriedly followed Zhang Ying out and saw a female body fished out from an inland river not far from the Zhao Mansion.

Di Xue looked around and saw that the female corpse was dressed in coarse cloth and looked like she was doing rough work.

The people nearby recognized it immediately:

"Isn't this the maid of the young lady from the Zhao family? Why did she die here?"

"My god, I'm afraid there's some evil in his family. Why did the young lady die just now and the maid also died?"

"Isn't this maid very fierce on weekdays? She will be gone if she doesn't take care of her. If the Zhao family doesn't have her to take care of it, it will really break up."

Di Xue came closer and took a closer look at the female corpse. She saw that the mouth and nose of the female corpse were clean. It seemed that she was not drowned, but died when she was thrown into the river.
