Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Lu Qiying raised his foot and stepped on Xiang Meng's heart.

The unique ruthlessness of the Ministry of Justice was revealed in him: "Stop pretending to be so nagging! The Crown Prince's Consort provided us with such an important clue, she is a great hero! If you dare to disrespect her again, I will break all your bones first!"

"We will naturally verify the characteristics of the Western Region Purple Crow! However, before the verification results come out, you shut up! There is no need for a beast like you to teach our Ministry of Justice how to do things!"

"The Crown Prince's Consort is not the only one who knows this. She just said that this is the characteristic mentioned by Second Young Master Gu! Second Young Master Gu is the number one child prodigy in Dafeng. You haven't seen his abilities, but I have! He must know things that others don't know!"

Xiang Meng spat out blood again after being stepped on by him, but he has always been different. The more he was beaten and the more painful it was, the more ruthless and tenacious he became.

"Lord Lu, we need evidence to handle cases. Don't say that I have never come into contact with the Western Regions Purple Crow. Even if I have, what does that prove? If a person accidentally touches some strange poison, will he be convicted and beheaded?"

Xiang Meng's voice was extremely miserable: "General Xin, don't be fooled, I really didn't kill your family! You also saw that I was just a scapegoat, the real murderer is someone else! But if I die, the Ministry of Justice will definitely close the case, and then you will never find the real murderer!"

Xin Huailin clenched his fist tightly. If he hadn't tried hard to control himself, his fist would have landed on Xiang Meng long ago.

The reason why he didn't hit Xiang Meng was not because he didn't dare, but because Xiang Meng would die instantly with one punch from him.

Regardless of whether Xiang Meng is the murderer or not, he is now the most suspected person and he cannot die no matter what.

He looked at Lu Qiying and pleaded in a hoarse voice: "Xin begs Lord Lu to be gentle on him. The evidence is indeed as he said, not sufficient."

"The remains of my family have not been found yet. If he really killed the person, he might be the only one who knows where the remains of my family are buried. He cannot die."

"There are thirteen people in my Xin family, young and old, I want you to see them alive or dead!"

Lu Qiying looked at his sunken eye sockets and his bloodshot eyes, and finally sighed deeply: "Okay, General Xin, I promise you, I will keep Xiang Meng alive."

"Thank you, Lord Lu."

As Xin Huailin spoke, he bowed deeply to Shen Wantang and saluted: "Today, there is such a big breakthrough clue. I would like to thank the princess. If the Xin family case can be made public, I will definitely come to thank you!"

Shen Wantang said softly, "General Xin, you don't have to thank me. Although I felt that Xiang Meng's hands turning blue was strange, I didn't take it too seriously because I didn't know the characteristics of the Western Region Purple Crow."

"I was chatting with Miss Gu today, and I accidentally heard her mention the strange poison her second brother mentioned, so I paid attention to it and came to verify it."

"If you want to thank someone, thank Second Master Gu!"

Xin Huailin said hoarsely: "Everyone should be thanked. The Crown Prince's Consort should thank you, as should Miss Gu and Second Master Gu."

Lu Qiying had already ordered someone to tie up Xiang Meng. He was just about to take Xiang Meng back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation when he heard Shen Wantang say, "Master Lu, wait a minute."

Lu Qiying turned around and said, "Princess, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Shen Wantang shook his head: "I don't have anything to tell you."

"Then you are..."

"I haven't finished talking about the abnormality of Xiang Meng. I've only mentioned one, and there's a second one."

Lu Qiying's heart was shocked, and he looked at Shen Wantang in disbelief: "Is there something else wrong with him?!"

"Yes, and it's out in the open."

Lu Qiying was surprised and ashamed when he heard this.

What was surprising was that more and more clues and evidence were obtained today. What was embarrassing was that Shen Wantang said that the abnormality was obvious, but no one in their Ministry of Justice noticed it. He felt hot on his face and felt that his job as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice was in vain.

Although he was ashamed, Lu Qiying felt that saving face was a minor issue and solving the case was a major one, so he immediately asked, "What's wrong with Xiang Meng? Please tell me clearly, Princess."

Shen Wantang pointed at Meng's face and said, "Lord Lu, there is a small bruise on his face. Did you notice it?"

Lu Qiying glanced at Xiang Meng and nodded: "I noticed it. I also asked Xiang Meng and he said it was a birthmark."

"This is not a birthmark. Xiang Meng never had this bruise on his face before."

"Could this also be the poison left by the Western Region Purple Crow?"

"No."

Lu Qiying frowned: "It's not a birthmark, nor is it a toxin, so what is it?"

He couldn't help but step forward and press the bruise on Xiang Meng's face, and Xiang Meng actually cried out in pain.

Lu Qiying became suspicious: "Why are you barking like a dog? Are you in pain?"

Xiang Meng's entire body began to tremble slightly. "Lord Lu, I have a wound on my face. You...you hit me too hard, so I couldn't hold it back."

He did have wounds on his face, caused by the beating from the Ministry of Justice and Shen Guannian just now. It seemed normal to feel pain from being pressed.

But Lu Qiying is very perceptive. His years of experience in solving cases tells him that sometimes the more normal things are, the more abnormal they appear.

He turned to look at Shen Wantang: "Princess, do you remember when this black spot on his face started to appear?"

"Two years ago, around the time Xiu Lu disappeared."

Although Lu Qiying trusted Shen Wantang, he still adhered to his duty to solve the case and asked a question that made him suspicious: "Why does the Crown Prince's Consort remember it so clearly? As a guard, why did you notice these subtle changes in him?"

Shen Wantang looked at him calmly and indifferently: "Lord Lu, my memory is quite good. I didn't just notice the subtle changes of Xiang Meng, a guard. I can remember the characteristics and changes of everyone. If you don't believe me, you can verify it on the spot."

Lu Qiying was surprised. He had heard that the last person with this ability was Gu Qianhan. It was rumored that Gu Qianhan had an extraordinary memory and could remember everything he saw. He even felt pain at one point because he could remember too many things.

He pointed at one of his men and said, "You, turn your back!"

The men obeyed the order immediately.

"Princess, how many moles does my subordinate have on his face?"

"Three, one at the corner of the mouth and two on the chin."

Lu Qiying pulled his men over to take a look, and sure enough, there were three!

He didn't believe it, so he picked up a book by Shen Guannian, opened it and showed it to Shen Wantang, then closed the book and asked her, "What's the fifth word on the third line?"

"Yes."

Lu Qiying just asked casually, he himself didn't even know what the word meant.

With a skeptical attitude, he opened the page again, counted and saw that it was really the word "years"!

He was extremely shocked: "You, you actually have a photographic memory!"
