After more than an hour of hard work, Nan Xi earned 75 merit points. When she saw the numbers on the system panel, she almost jumped up with joy.

"Good luck brings good luck to you, good luck brings joy and love..."

She sang and danced back to Yunyan Pavilion.

"The song the girl sings is so beautiful." Shaoyao held a late-night snack just delivered from the kitchen in her hand.

Hanlian is making Nan Xi's bed.

It's getting colder, the windows have been closed, and the gardenias beside the window are in full bloom, with a pleasant fragrance that fills the whole room.

"The girl is pure and kind. She has helped many guards in the mansion solve their physical problems. She should indeed have good luck." Hanlian said, then checked a few windows to see if they were closed tightly, and then went to change to warm tea. .

She and Shaoyao had a clear division of labor and kept Yunyan Pavilion in order every day. Over time, they had a tacit understanding. They knew how to do many things without Nan Xi saying anything.

Nan Xi was in a good mood as he ate his late night snack: "Master is a kind man and he asked me to do a physical examination for the guards in the mansion."

Hanlian and Shaoyao both responded with a smile.

Since the girl came, the atmosphere in the house has become better and better, and even the master can often see smiles on his face.

This night, the Zhuangyuan Alley was particularly lively, and the candidates who had finally finished the exam were completely relaxed.

Well done, celebrate like crazy.

Those who feel that they did not do well in the exam are also drinking and crying, vowing to make a comeback in three years.

Nan Mingkun came to find Shen Wenjin. The two planned to go to Flower Street to find a girl. On their way out, they met Jiang Zhicheng who had returned from abroad at the entrance of the alley.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, you are still here. I heard that you didn't have time to take the exam, and I thought you had gone back to your hometown." Nan Mingkun patted Jiang Zhicheng on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter. When I become a high-ranking official in the future, I will take care of you." Come on, let’s have a drink together.”

Jiang Zhicheng said in a low voice, "I won't go."

Shen Wenjin next to him said "haha", "You don't really blame us for not being able to enter the examination room in time, do you? We also drank that night, how could we get up? You don't know how to drink well, you nerd Even if you are allowed to enter the examination room, so what? You still won’t pass the exam."

Nan Mingkun snorted disdainfully, stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Zhicheng aside, "If you don't pull him down, Wen Jin, let's go."

Jiang Zhicheng staggered as he was pushed. He clenched his hanging hands tightly, turned his head, and calmly watched Nan Mingkun and Shen Wenjin leave.

The next day, the sky was overcast, and the clouds were thick and dark, as if they would fall at any time.

"what!"

An exclamation came from Zhuangyuan Alley.

At the Regent's Palace, Nan Xi was changing gauze for Li Qingmo in Yongningyuan, and Lan Jue hurriedly walked in.

"Sir." He cupped his fists and said, "There was a murder in Zhuangyuan Alley. Mr. Tang sent someone to ask Miss Nan to help with the autopsy."

Nan Xi looked at Li Qingmo with expectant eyes.

【Please do some good deeds! 】

Li Qingmo didn't understand how this girl could maintain an optimistic attitude all the time. She wanted to know how many merit points she earned by helping those bastards check their bodies last night, but she didn't know how to speak.

After thinking about it, he put his hand on Nan Xi's head. Now he was very familiar with doing such an action, and he had just the right amount of strength.

"Go back home at the same time." This was still his only request.

Nan Xi smiled and leaned her head up, rubbing his palm: "Okay!"

When Nan Xi went out, the soft color in Li Qingmo's eyes disappeared. He changed his sitting position and asked Lan Jue: "What was found at Li Jiang's residence?"

Lan Jue looked solemn: "Li Jiang is very cautious. There is a basin in the bedroom filled with ashes. He should have burned all the evidence. However, our people guarded there for two days and found a homing pigeon."

He presented the note he had taken from the carrier pigeon with both hands.Li Qingmo took it over and took a look.

There are only four words on the note.

Business as usual.

But what exactly is the plan?
Who is executing this plan with Li Jiang?
After pondering for a moment, Li Qingmo said: "You imitated Li Jiang's handwriting and replied, just saying that the plan has changed and you need help."

"clear."

Lan Jue is not only good at disguise, he is also good at imitating handwriting. Especially since he has worked with Li Jiang for many years and they were like brothers, so he is naturally familiar with Li Jiang's handwriting.

……

In Zhuangyuan Hutong, when Nan Xi arrived with Hanlian and Shaoyao, the government officials surrounded the courtyard where the accident occurred, and Tang Jingjing stood with the family members of the deceased.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My son, he just finished the exam yesterday, and he told me that he would definitely pass high school. Why did he just..."

"Sir, you must make the decision for my son. He can't just die in vain..."

Nan Xi had an impression of these two mourners.

Aren't they the parents of Shen Wenjin?
At first, they threatened to spend money to buy exam questions for their son.

"Master Tang." Nan Xi walked over.

Tang Jingjing asked the yamen to separate Shen Wenjin's parents and led Nan Xi into the house.

The body was not far from the entrance, lying prone with one hand reaching towards the door. It must have tried hard to crawl out before death, but it was too late.

"Alas!" Tang Jingjing sighed, "After ten years of hard work, I finally finished the exam, but lost my life like this. I heard that the Shen family was still an only son, and now it cost them half their lives."

Nan Xi asked Han Li to record the orientation and posture of Shen Wenjin's body, and then asked the yamen to turn him over.

The conjunctiva of the eyeballs is congested, the complexion is pale, the lips are black and purple, and the skin visible to the naked eye is purpuric and swollen, especially on the lower limbs.

Nan Xi rolled up Shen Wenjin's trouser legs and found two small wounds on his calves.

"He probably died of snake poison."

"Snake venom?" Tang Jingjing looked around, "This place is far away from the mountains, how can there be snakes?"

Nan Xi suddenly remembered something: "It's not surprising that there are snakes. Someone was bitten by a centipede here yesterday."

It stands to reason that centipedes that can bite people are not small, and they should not appear in places like Zhuangyuan Alley.

"Shaoyao, go back to your house and call the guard who was bitten by the centipede yesterday." Nan Xi said.

"Yes, girl." Shaoyao turned and left.

Nan Xi made a closer inspection of Shen Wenjin's body, and then went outside the house with Tang Jingjing.

Shen Wenjin's parents were still crying, and suddenly the white-haired person gave away the black-haired person, which was unbearable for anyone.

"Sir, how did my son die?" Mother Shen suddenly stepped forward and asked.

Nan Xi answered on his behalf: "The initial judgment is that he was poisoned by snake venom, but we have to wait for detailed inspection after returning home."

"Snake venom? How can there be a snake when it's so good?" Father Shen looked at Nan Xi with clear doubt in his eyes: "Could it be that you made a mistake in the test?"

Then he looked at Tang Qingqing: "Sir, does the government office have nothing else to do? Let a little girl examine my son's body. If the judgment is wrong and the real murderer is released, who will bear the responsibility?"
