Chapter 396 is the above request
Qin Miaoxi pursed her red lips into a straight line, and said with a firm gaze, "I must see the body."
All her judgments were her inferences, and only by seeing the body could she find the answer.
"Come on, I'll accompany you to the Ministry of Justice again."
Lu Qingchen turned to the Ye brothers and sisters and said, "You guys go back first!"
"Then let's go visit the princess first." Ye Junyan's face was pale, and his eyes were still full of worry.
"It's better not to. The Ministry of Justice is searching the Princess's mansion right now. Going there will only cause more trouble. Go back and wait!" Qin Miaoxi comforted softly, "Don't worry, the Princess will be fine."
But judging by their reactions, they obviously disagree.
She stopped trying to persuade him. She said this because she was afraid of causing trouble for Ye Daxueshi. But it was not a big deal. Lu Shiya had already agreed to Ye Junyan's marriage. Once the two families made it public, the result would be the same whether she went or not.
At the Ministry of Justice Yamen, before the two men could get close, they were stopped by the yamen runners at the door.
"Young Marquis, please stay, Madam Marquis!"
Lu Qingchen said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
"Young Marquis, Lord Shao has ordered that no outsiders are allowed to enter."
"Look carefully, I'm working at the Dali Temple. How can I be considered an outsider?"
As he said that, Lu Qingchen stepped forward and was about to force his way in.
The yamen runner stood in front of him awkwardly, his expression firm, and he said coldly, "Young Marquis, please don't make things difficult for us."
"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The two stood opposite each other. Lu Qingchen did not have a single dandy look on his face. His tall figure looked strangely familiar to Qin Miaoxi.
His back... I seem to have seen it somewhere!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer. What kind of nonsense was she thinking? She had been married to him for more than half a year, so she was naturally used to seeing his back.
In just a moment of distraction, Lu Qingchen had drawn out his sword and was holding it on the opponent's neck, but the opponent... hugged his waist and thighs like a sloth, not letting him move forward even a step.
Her pupils trembled violently. This action was really... not very elegant!
Shaking her brain, she hurried forward and grabbed Lu Qingchen's wrist, growling, "What are you doing? Put down the sword."
The other party was also stubborn, and he entangled himself tightly with his limbs. "Young Marquis, even if you kill me today, I will not let you pass."
Qin Miaoxi: "..."
Lu Qingchen was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and roared, "Let me go."
At this moment, a man walked out of the yamen quickly, "Young Marquis, Madam Marquis, Lord Shao invites you!"
"Did you hear that? Let me go, damn it."
The yamen runner immediately retreated three feet away from the command, with a flattering smile on his face, "Young Marquis, please come in!"
Lu Qingchen: "..."
His face was filled with an indescribable bitterness, [Wow, I actually hugged a man, I'm dirty.]
Qin Miaoxi couldn't help laughing. No wonder his eyes almost popped out just now. It turned out that he cared about this.
The bailiff led them to the back hall, where Shao Kun had already prepared tea for them.
Qin Miaoxi and the other person looked at each other. This posture was unusual!
"Young Marquis, please take a seat, Madam Marquis!"
Shao Kun still had a smile on his face. "Why don't you two come to the Ministry of Justice when you have time? I heard that the Dali Temple has a lot of old cases piled up, and the Marquis is solving them one by one."
Qin Miaoxi's lips curled up slightly, with a deep look in her eyes. "The living are always more important than the dead. My husband and I are also worried that this murder is the work of a serial killer, and we want to prevent more people from being killed."
"Since this case has been taken over by our Ministry of Justice, we will naturally prevent such incidents from happening again. Madam Hou, please rest assured."
"Master Shao, you're wrong. As the saying goes, one more person means more strength. After all, the Ministry of Justice hasn't caught the Ghost-Faced Judge yet. If they devote more of their attention to investigating the case, they might not be able to do it!"
"Ahem!" Lu Qingchen choked on his tea. "Speaking of the case, Lord Shao, just tell me why you won't let us participate in the investigation! I want a reason."
Shao Kun's expression changed slightly, and he just lowered his head and drank tea.
After a long while, he said bluntly: "Young Marquis, I will be frank with you. This case is not an ordinary one. No one can interfere."
The two were stunned when they heard this. They had never expected such an answer.
"Then let me ask this another way. Why would the Ministry of Justice take over a commoner's case? And where is Lord Shi, the Jingzhao Yin?"
Shao Kun gave Qin Miaoxi a bitter smile and said, "Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, Madam Hou. I can only say that this is a request from above."
It goes without saying who is the one who can give orders to the Minister of Justice.
It is already puzzling how the Ministry of Justice handles this case, and if it is the above, it is even more confusing.
"So the reason you rejected us so harshly is..."
"Yes." Shao Kun sighed, "If possible, I would also like to ask Madam Hou for help. After all, the death of the three girls was so tragic, and I also want to find the real culprit as soon as possible."
Lu Qingchen moved his chair towards him, pressed close to him and said, "Then why don't you let us take a look, Lord Shao?"
"No."
"You refuse without even thinking about it. Don't you respect me?"
Shao Kun pondered for a long time, and just when Lu Qingchen thought there was a turning point, he spoke.
"Well, no."
Lu Qingchen: "..."
It’s the same as not saying anything, it’s a waste of his expression.
In the end, Shao Kun politely asked the two to leave the yamen. Lu Qingchen slapped his forehead in regret and said, "I forgot to ask the princess. Let's go back and ask her."
"Forget it. The princess will send someone to inform you if she has anything to say. You go back first. I'll go to the shop."
Lu Qingchen watched her walk away quickly, "This isn't the way to the shop!"
On that day, the long-lost Lord Xuanwu arrived in the palace.
She chatted with the emperor in the imperial study for half an hour and then left. Soon, the imperial study was replaced with a new batch of porcelain, and there was also an oral order to the Minister of Justice Shao Kun.
Outside the palace, Qin Miaoxi returned home contentedly, but turned back halfway. She seemed to have seen her senior sister at the door of Yunyin Pavilion just now.
I walked over quickly to ask, but of course found nothing. I ordered two dishes and waited at a table in the corner, so that I could see the guests coming in and out of the main door.
Hard work pays off. She had only finished half of her dish when she saw her senior sister hurried downstairs.
"division……"
"Please stay, my lady. Here are your things."
Xia Liqian returned a sachet to Lu Shiya, and the two whispered something before separating.
Qin Miaoxi came to her with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Senior Sister, do you know Princess Xinglan?"
"Little junior sister!"
There was no joy in meeting each other. Xia Liqian frowned and dragged her into the side room. After closing the door, he began to scold her. "What's wrong with you? How can you use your status as a guard to say such specious things to the emperor?"
Qin Miaoxi lowered her head guiltily. "I just entered the palace, and the news has reached you so quickly, Senior Sister?"
"Don't play dumb with me. Tell me why you're here."
"It's not..." Qin Miaoxi angrily complained, "I just wanted to help with the investigation, but they were so cautious about it like they were thieves. There must be something fishy going on."
"Then you shouldn't act impulsively. If the emperor becomes suspicious of you, just wait and see!"
"Senior Sister, let's not talk about this for now. Why did you make an appointment to meet with Princess Xinglan?"
Xia Liqian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said solemnly, "She has something related to the murder of the eldest prince."
"she……?"
Qin Miaoxi's surprised smile quickly disappeared. Judging from her senior sister's expression, she was afraid that she didn't get what she wanted.
