After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The two of them didn't say another word until they finished buying the candied haws.

Meng Qianqian returned to Fengshui Hutong with two strings of candied haws.

He didn't give a definite answer as to whether he was willing to help him deal with Concubine Li.

"Then why are you asking?"

Meng Qianqian also has a temper.

But life is more important.

The next day, Tan'er accompanied the old lady to the theater, and Meng Qianqian went to the library.

Surprisingly, the door to the corridor leading to the fourth floor was opened today.

Even if she had to pry open the lock, she wanted to get in, not to mention the door was open, so she naturally wouldn't be polite.

Meng Qianqian walked through the corridor and entered the library on the fourth floor.

All the windows were propped up, and the warm spring breeze and sunlight filtered in, shining on the rows of quaint and silent bookshelves.

Meng Qianqian guessed that because the weather was good today, Manager Cen came up specially to ventilate the fourth floor.

This level contains no ordinary books, but files from various government offices. The Chu family’s case is so big, it shouldn’t be difficult to find.

Sure enough, Meng Qianqian found the Chu family files in the third row of bookshelves.

"The seventeenth year of Emperor Chong'an..."

This file is incomplete, as the part concerning the torture is missing, but the results of the autopsy are detailed.

The King of Chu was originally the leader of a rebel army. He neither submitted to the imperial court nor was he an enemy of it. He only fought against the Northern Liang enemy at the border. After being recruited by the imperial court, he was named a king of a different surname.

The King of Chu was seriously injured in a war and could no longer fight on the battlefield. It was thought that the Chu family would decline, but his son was better than his father. Not only did he perfectly inherit his mantle, he also founded the Black Armor Army, subdued the Twelve Guards, was invincible, and was named the Grand Marshal of the Army by the court.

This autopsy result belongs to Marshal Chu.

Poisoning and a penetrating wound in the left lower abdomen. The murder weapon was a single-edged dagger, which has been confirmed to belong to Marshal Chu. Judging from the amount of blood at the scene, Marshal Chu lost too much blood, but the fatal wound was the silver needle piercing his heart with Mrs. Chu.

Meng Qianqian frowned.

There are too many flaws. Madam Chu is Marshal Chu's bedmate. It would be easy for her to kill him. Why would she have to poison and stab him?

Unless Marshal Chu had already become suspicious of Madam Chu, making it difficult for Madam Chu to succeed and forcing her to resort to some tricks, this would not stand up to scrutiny.

After he was poisoned, Mrs. Chu could have used the Thirteen Ghost Needles to kill him. Why did she stab him with a knife? What a waste of time!

In Meng Qianqian's opinion, it was more like someone stole Madam Chu's silver needle, killed Marshal Chu and put the blame on Madam Chu.

"Even I can see so many flaws, but the court hastily closed the case. Why?"

"Could it be that the real culprit is in the imperial court?"

"He is in a high position of power and can manipulate all officials who deal with the case."

Speaking of high-ranking officials, the first person Meng Qianqian thought of was Lu Yuan.

"No, it won't be him."

At that time, Lu Yuan was still undeveloped. He had not yet helped the young emperor ascend the throne, nor had he taken over the Jinyiwei. He did not have such great power.

Meng Qianqian read the autopsy results carefully again, word by word.

The second problem was soon discovered.

The person who could poison Marshal Chu and stab him directly must be someone close to Marshal Chu, and he must be able to get Madam Chu's silver needle.

She could only think of one person who could meet all the above conditions at the same time - the Twelve Guards.

There is a traitor among the Twelve Guards!

If she couldn't even trust the Twelve Guards, who else could she trust...

"Grand Governor!"

Ah Fu's voice came from the first floor.

Meng Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses, quickly sorted out the files, and put them back intact.

She walked down the stairs quickly, her steps very light.

She met Lu Yuan with a vicious look on his face on the first floor.

Lu Yuan sat with his back on the clean new floor, leaning against the wall, with one of his long legs stretched out and the other casually bent, looking lazy and unrestrained, yet revealing endless elegance and unruliness.

Bao Shu sat beside him dejectedly.

Meng Qianqian was very surprised.

Baoshu is full of energy and whines every time she comes. This is the first time she looks so listless.

"Meet the Grand Commander."

Meng Qianqian bowed to Lu Yuan and asked curiously, "What happened to Zhao Zhao?"

Lu Yuan had a cold face and did not answer.

Well, the Grand Admiral has a bad temper and she can’t afford to offend him.

Meng Qianqian came in front of Baoshu.

Baoshu looked at her cheap father with resentment, and Lu Yuan also looked at her.

The big one and the small one snorted at the same time and turned their heads to their respective sides.

Meng Qianqian was stunned. Are the father and daughter... having a quarrel?

She didn't dare to coax the older one, nor could she do so, so she decided to coax the younger one.

Since Baoshu often comes here, the library is stocked with a lot of Baoshu's little gadgets. Meng Qianqian took a red rattle from Baoshu's exclusive shelf to amuse Baoshu.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly.

Bao Shu grabbed the rattle and crawled to Lu Yuan using her hands and feet. She stood up tremblingly, holding on to Lu Yuan's arm.

Meng Qianqian smiled with relief, knowing that she was getting close to her father. What a good child...

Bao Shu grabbed her father's shoulder with one hand and raised the rattle high with the other hand, and smashed it on Lu Yuan's head with anger!

Lu Yuan, the treacherous minister, was furious and laid to rest with millions of corpses: "You are seeking death!"

Baoshu dropped the rattle in horror and crawled towards Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian didn't expect that the little guy was so fierce that he even dared to hit his own father.

She was really afraid that Lu Yuan would crush the little one to death, so she quickly hugged Bao Shu, did a backflip, and knelt on one knee ten steps away.

"Grand Commander, I'll take Baoshu out first, and come back to tidy up the library later!"

If she didn't leave, she was afraid that he would crush her to death along with her.

Only after running back to Tinglan Garden in one breath did Meng Qianqian breathe a sigh of relief.

She looked at the aggrieved little guy in her arms and said with a smile: "You beat someone up, and you're still feeling aggrieved?"

Baoshu pointed to the study.

Meng Qianqian carried her in, and Baoshu pointed to the table again.

Meng Qianqian walked closer and took a look, and was surprised to find three portraits of Miao girls on the table.

Looking at the trash can next to it, it was full of torn portraits.

Baoshu started to complain loudly.

When Meng Qianqian was confused, Qingshuang appeared and explained expressionlessly: "They are the fiancées selected by the Madam for the Grand Commander. Miss Baoshu tore up their portraits, and Grandma sent another hundred."

Baoshu felt so wronged. There was no way she could tear it apart. There was no way she could ever stop tearing it apart!

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized that the "Madam" who could interfere in Lu Yuan's marriage should be Lu Yuan's mother. The group of people she saw yesterday were sent by her, and the elder was her grandma.

She just didn't expect that they came for Lu Yuan's marriage.

Lu Yuan was unhappy last night and angry this morning, were they all caused by marriage?

Qingshuang continued, "The Grand Commander doesn't want to marry them, and Miss Baoshu doesn't want them to be her mothers."

Meng Qianqian whispered, "I can see it."

That's not right. You two have the same goal and should be united against the same enemy. Why are you fighting among yourselves?

Qingshuang: "Ms. Baoshu, I want Miss Meng to be my mother."

"cough!"

Meng Qianqian choked.
