Chapter 171 The clue is broken
In the middle of the night, Quan Niang rushed back from the outside in a hurry. At this time, the mansion was no longer as noisy as when she left, but was completely silent.

"Huh...it should be fine."

She patted her chest with lingering fear, and after looking around for no one, she sneaked back to her room in the courtyard.

As soon as the door opened, Quan Niang couldn't wait to walk in. When she turned around and was about to close the door, the room suddenly lit up.

"Who?"

Quan Niang was so frightened that she quickly turned around, only to see Song Baoling standing by the candlestick, watching her calmly.

"It's so late, why is the Lord Jingling in the old man's room?"

Song Baoling lowered his head and slightly hooked his lips, "Then what are you doing so late?"

"By the way, I've been in your room for a long time. Even if you go to the latrine, I'm afraid it won't take so long."

As soon as these words came out, Quan Niang's expression changed drastically. She looked around vigilantly, and after not finding anyone else, she felt a little calmer.

"The county lord was joking. Just now, the old man was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, so he went to the kitchen to get something to eat."

"is it?"

Song Baoling's eyes kept looking at her, and then he raised his foot to approach her, "But why do I feel that you did something else? For example...you have something extra on your body."

Seeing that Quan Niang was taken aback, but she returned to normal in an instant, and said with an apologetic smile: "Master, I really went to the back kitchen. If you don't believe me, you can report this to the prince."

"However, although Laoshen is a servant of the Wangfu, she is also Madam's nurse after all. The prince will definitely not treat Laosang harshly in terms of food."

Song Baoling frowned unhappily when he heard the words, "It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin, since that's the case, why don't you search the body first."

Speaking of this, Song Baoling turned around her, and finally his eyes fell on her waist, "There seems to be a rare thing hidden inside your belt."

Quan Niang held back the shock in her heart, and when she was about to speak, Song Baoling suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her with one hand, and stretched out the other to her waist.

"do not move!"

A pack of medicinal powder fell from Quan Niang's body, Song Baoling looked at her panicked face, and said with a smile: "It seems that we really have to report this matter to the lord."

After the words fell, Chai Liang walked out from behind the curtain, and Quan Niang knew it was over the moment she saw him appear.

lobby--

Quan Niang was escorted to kneel in front of Jun Tianlin, she raised her head tremblingly and saw several people in the room, her face turned pale with fright.

"My lord, take the stolen goods and get them at the same time."

Chai Liang put the found medicine powder on the table, Jun Tianlin glanced at it, and asked coldly, "Say, why did you poison the deer?"

At this time, Quan Niang was so frightened that she couldn't help herself. Facing the majestic and cruel Jun Tianlin, she even forgot to fabricate a lie, or she knew that it was useless to say anything now.

"My lord, in fact, half a year ago, the old man was suffering from a serious disease, and there was no cure for it, but just one month ago, someone gave the old man a medicine, and after taking it, the symptoms were relieved."

"But no matter how much the old man begged, that person refused to give medicine for free. He said that unless the old man did something for him, in order to survive, I had to..."

Hearing this, Song Baoling already guessed the follow-up, presumably the other party had already set his sights on Quan Niang, and wanted to coerce her to poison Jun Yinlu with medicine.

After Quan Niang explained what had happened, she knelt and crawled forward suddenly: "My lord, please forgive me, I have no choice but to do this to save my life."

"I don't want to harm the young master, and I will reduce the dose every time I poison it. I beg the prince to spare my life for the sake of my wife's wet nurse."

Jun Tianlin's face was dark all the time, his eyes were deep and complicated, he didn't know what he was thinking, until Quan Niang's kowtow interrupted his thoughts, and then he slapped the table and got up.

"You have been in the mansion for more than 20 years. For Madam's sake, this king has turned a blind eye to what you have done all these years, but now that you have poisoned the deer, this king will never do it again. I forgive you."

Realizing what he wanted to do, Song Baoling quickly dissuaded him: "My lord, no matter how hateful Miss Quan is, she was only coerced."

"If you want to find out who is behind the scenes, you need her help. It's better to keep this person and deal with it after the truth is found out."

However, Jun Tianlin didn't listen to her persuasion at all, pulled out Chai Liang's accompanying sword, and beheaded Quan Niang with a wave of his sword.

Song Baoling looked at the person who was still alive a moment ago, but now died tragically in front of him, and he didn't know what it was like.

"This king will find out about this matter, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Now that Quan Niang is dead, if you want to investigate, you can only hope in the 'Bamboo Mirror' library. Song Baoling and Jun Tingsheng looked at each other, and instantly understood what the other was thinking.

"My lord, this matter is related to the life of the son, not to mention that it was caused by the little girl, so..."

"You want to investigate?" Jun Tianlin interrupted her, staring straight at her, "Everyone is dead, the king will send someone to investigate the rest, and Miss Song doesn't have to participate in it. "

Song Baoling didn't seem to hear what he said, and said to himself: "When the little girl followed Quan Niang, she found that she had gone to the library. The prince should send someone there as soon as possible, so that the people behind the scenes won't notice..."

At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from outside in a panic, Jun Tianlin's face darkened immediately, and he yelled: "You are so brave, I didn't know to notify you before entering the door!"

"My lord, please calm down. Your subordinates will lose courtesy when they have to report something important. I hope your lord will forgive me."

Jun Tingsheng got up and walked to the man, and asked, "What happened?"

"Hui Shizi, according to your order, I sent people to guard outside the library, but for some reason, the library suddenly burst into flames, and it is almost burnt down now."

Hearing his words, the expressions of all the people present changed drastically, and Song Baoling was even more annoyed when he came back to his senses.

"If I had known, I would have followed in. Maybe I would have had the chance to see who is behind the scenes."

However, Jun Tingsheng didn't think so. If Song Baoling ventured in at that time, once he was discovered, he would have to be silenced.

Compared with the others, Jun Tianlin seemed to be calmer. He sat on the chair and said expressionlessly: "In this way, there is no way to continue the investigation."

"In my king's opinion, let's stop this matter. It's almost dawn, so you go back first, and the king will come to thank you later."

Jun Tingsheng saw that he was perfunctory, and it was only about Jun Yinlu's life. Such an attitude is really doubtful, or does he already know who is behind the scenes?

"In that case, Linger and I will go back first."

At this time, Song Baoling was still immersed in the incident of the burning of the library, and was dragged away by Jun Tingsheng without knowing why.

Seeing this situation, Jun Yinlu guessed that the two would not give up, so he wanted to join in the fun, but was scolded by Jun Tianlin, as if he didn't want him to intervene again.
