Cheng Jin followed Chu Chengye and sat where the officials were interrogating.

Chu Chengye thought that since he was here, he might as well take a look at the cases being interrogated these days.

The official stood at the bottom and was so frightened that he was sweating.

Chu Chengye had made a big change in the people of Dali Temple before, and the Zhenfu in front of him was also chosen by himself.

He was promoted from a small official, but he was from a lower background and was not willing to join the others. It was a good thing that he had not been promoted for so many years.

Chu Chengye checked the file and didn't find anything, so he just wanted to make a few remarks.

"You can be considered serious in your work. I have seen all these cases and handled them well."

Zhenfu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. These are all matters within the scope of my duties."

"But what you just did was very wrong."

Zhen Fufang felt relieved again, thinking that Chu Chengye was unhappy with the torture he had just given.

"I am guilty, but I am stupid. I hope the emperor will make it clear."

"If you don't listen to the palace maid, it's like not complaining to the common people. How can you solve the case cleanly and make others innocent?"

Zhenfu immediately knelt on the ground.

"The minister is guilty."

Although Cheng Jin didn't say anything beside him, he complained about Chu Chengye in his heart.

[This tyrant is really more capable of causing trouble than the nuns in the palace. 】

[Isn’t this nit-picking? 】

[And this chastity, does this tyrant mean what he says?Your uncle pampers him. 】

[Don’t you feel aggrieved that he asks you to do this even though he can’t do it himself?Just agreed? 】

Chu Chengye just turned his head slightly and glanced at Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin immediately lowered his head feeling guilty.

[You are a monkey, you have eyes on the back of your head, can you still hear me scolding you? 】

【What are you looking at?Neuropathy. 】

Cheng Jin noticed that Chu Chengye didn't look away for a long time, and forced a smile again.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"

"I think Concubine Rong seems to have something to say." Chu Chengye slightly raised his lips, deliberately teasing Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin immediately shook his head, "In a serious sense, this can be regarded as a state matter of the previous dynasty, and I don't dare to do it."

"Don't you dare?"

Chu Chengye pondered these two words carefully.

Cheng Jin didn't dare, he was too daring.

He said all the ugly things, and when he was so angry, he wanted to stab himself directly, but he didn't dare to do so.

Cheng Jin raised his head and smiled at Chu Chengye.

Cheng Jin's fake sweet smile made Chu Chengye feel uncomfortable all over. As soon as he frowned, Cheng Jin screamed in his heart.

[You are the best, you are the most wonderful, you are the emperor! 】

[Stop asking if it’s okay! 】

Chu Chengye nodded.

Although Cheng Jin is so rude, he is the most comfortable.

Chu Chengye casually arranged a few words of reply. The time for a stick of incense had arrived, and Cheng Yishou thought of going in to see Xiao Shunzi and Ningru.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, he saw the jailer leading the way suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Zhenfu saw the jailer stopped and hurried forward to check. "He, he, he, Xiao Shunzi and the palace maid are all dead." The jailer was so frightened that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"what!"

"Dead? How could he be dead?"

Chu Chengye and Cheng Jin exclaimed at the same time.

Chu Chengye quickly stepped forward to check.

As expected, Xiao Shunzi was still tied to the pillar, but he was stabbed several times in the abdomen, and he was already dead. He was completely dead.

Looking at Ning Ru who was lying on the ground, she was curled up in pain and had been stabbed several times.

Although Cheng Jin was a little scared, what happened was too strange. She squatted down to check Ning Ru's injuries.

She was stabbed in the abdomen, and it was obvious that she died from those stabs, but Cheng Jin found half an uneaten pastry in Ning Ru's hand.

When it was given to Zhenfu, he smelled it right away.

"It's poison. There's poison on this pastry."

Chu Chengye asked, "But the poison in Northern Xinjiang?"

Zhenfu shook his head, "No, it's just ordinary crane-top red."

The poison in northern Xinjiang is hard to come by and only Chu Chengye can use it.

As for Xiao Shunzi and Ning Ru, although it would be detrimental to the people behind the scenes, they would not resort to such poison on these little people.

"The remains of the pastry are also on Ning Ru's sleeves. She must have secretly brought them in to feed Xiao Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi made such a big mistake, how could he still have a chance to live?"

Cheng Jin twisted the remains of Ningru's sleeves, which were exactly the same as those in her hands and mouth.

"I guess I didn't want to see Xiao Shunzi suffer such torture again, so I thought I'd go with Xiao Shunzi."

Zhenfu checked Xiao Shunzi's mouth and found that it was exactly what Cheng Jin said.

"But didn't Ning Ru agree to the emperor to ask Xiao Shunzi who is the person behind the scenes?" Zhenfu asked, looking at the things on Xiao Shunzi's body.

"Yes." Cheng Jin said, "She promised the emperor that the poison did not take effect so quickly. She could have dragged us in after a stick of incense and came in to talk before she died. But who knows, Xiao Shunzi's speech may not stop Ning Ru heard it herself."

Chu Chengye looked around the dungeon and found nothing strange at all.

But they were obviously sitting not far away, and there was only one exit. How could that person kill Xiao Shunzi and Ning Ru so blatantly under their eyes?

Cheng Jin also couldn't figure out that the people replaced by Dali Temple were basically Chu Chengye's people, and none of them were suspected of colluding with the party for personal gain.

It can be said that this matter can clearly find out the person behind this matter, so that Chu Chengye may be able to live for two more days.

Who knew that something like this would actually happen.

Who on earth has such great ability?
The matter was not resolved, and the witness was killed right under his eyes.

Zhenfu knew he was guilty and immediately took off his black gauze hat to plead guilty.

"This matter is due to the neglect of duties by a minor official. I have committed a serious crime and should be punished by the emperor."

Chu Chengye was extremely anxious, but now it was useless no matter how angry he was. He fumbled with the jade ring on his thumb to think about something, and waved his hand to let Zhen cover up.

"You are guilty, but I just wanted to give Xiao Shunzi and Ning Ru time to talk alone. It was because I didn't think so much that I allowed this traitor to succeed."

"I will give you a chance to make amends for your past mistakes. A thorough investigation of everyone in Dali Temple, including the criminals in the prison, and give me a blueprint of this dungeon. I don't believe that the person killed someone and died. Disappeared into thin air.”

Chu Chengye didn't believe that the man killed someone so blatantly and then disappeared. If he did such a thing, he would definitely leave clues.

This Dali Temple is so big, he turned everything upside down to find that person.

If he dared to do this, he was undoubtedly not provoking Chu Chengye Zaixuan.

Let him know that he is such a failure as an emperor that he doesn't even know who around him is useful.

You can't even save yourself from drinking poison, but you still hope to save the life of a young eunuch?

Chu Chengye clenched his fists so hard that his arms were shaking.

He must find this person and cut him to pieces in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
