It was almost dawn when the second young master woke up.

Knowing that the situation was good, Fan Yucheng secretly exclaimed that God had treated the Fan family well. After this incident, he must go to the temple to worship and offer a stick of incense to the Bodhisattva. The incense is so good!

He led Chen Guanlou to the cell immediately.

As for Jailer Fan, he continued to reflect on his duties.

We didn't sleep all night, but everyone was in high spirits. There was a sense of nervousness and fear about doing something big, and we didn't feel sleepy at all.

Arriving at the cell, the medical officer was taking good care of the second young master.

The second young master drank half a bowl of millet porridge and his complexion improved a lot. He was sure that he was far away from death.

"Your Majesty, I would like to pay my respects to the Second Young Master. Your Majesty is guilty. Please punish me severely."

Fan Jiucheng knelt down on the spot.

The superior officer was kneeling, but Chen Guanlou, as a subordinate, could not stand. In desperation, he could only kneel down. Even the medical officer on the side knelt down along the edge of the bed.

The second young master stared at the three of them and was silent for a moment before speaking, "I already know the matter. I am lucky enough to be able to save a life."

"Second Young Master's fortune is shining brightly, and he will be able to prosper. The lower official's poor management has caused such serious consequences. The second young master was injured and the lower official will be punished with death!"

Fan Yucheng kept saying he was guilty and did not defend himself. This is the countermeasure we discussed together last night. Be kind and don't try to deceive. Honest apology is better than anything else, and maybe you can create an impression of honesty and sincerity. The first impression is very important. Once you have a good impression, it will be easier to talk later.

The second young master sat on the bed and stared at Fan Yucheng. After a while, he slowly said: "If something happens to me on your territory, you really deserve to die."

Fan Jiucheng was sweating coldly, feeling uneasy and extremely scared.

"Whether there is someone inside the Tianlao who has been bribed to plot against me, this matter has not yet been determined. However, I can keep quiet for the time being and give you a chance to investigate. If no results can be found, If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, then you all should go talk to Jin Yiwei. I believe Jin Yiwei will be happy to do it for you."

Fan Yucheng is granted amnesty, as long as the Second Young Master is willing to give him a chance. I'm afraid that I won't even be given a chance.

"Second Young Master, don't worry. Your Majesty will definitely find out about this matter. If someone in Tianlao is really bribed, Your Majesty will definitely say this on behalf of Second Young Master."

He was all-inclusive, full of promises and guarantees. Chen Guanlou on the side frowned.

He coughed lightly and tried to remind the other party.

Unexpectedly, the second young master was the first to ask, "Tou Chen has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Fan Jiucheng suddenly looked back at Chen Guanlou with a warning look in his eyes.

What could Chen Guanlou do? He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I dare to ask the second master, what if this matter is someone deliberately plotting against Tianlao?"

When the second young master heard this, he frowned at first, and then laughed, "I know what you mean. As the grandson of the emperor, the person who dares to poison me and murder me is someone you cannot afford to offend in Tianlao. You guys Go ahead and investigate, no matter who you find, report it in time, and I promise not to hold you accountable even if the palace asks, I will try my best to save your lives."

Can you believe him?

In the current situation, even if he didn't believe the second young master, he could only choose to believe it. He actually had some doubts in his heart. When the second young master learned about the poisoning, his reaction was somewhat unusual.

Fan Jiucheng can't control that much. At this moment, he promised loudly that he would try his best to find out the truth and give an explanation to the second young master. He just wants to get through the current difficulties, and he will solve the problems later. He also warned Chen Guanlou with his eyes not to talk too much and just do what he was told.

Chen Guanlou closed his mouth silently.

After bidding farewell to the second young master, Chen Guanlou reminded Fan Jiucheng, "The floodgates should be opened, and no one can see anything unusual. All the names of those who were on duty last night have been registered, and a gag order has been issued."

"What you said makes sense. The gate cannot be closed all the time, lest others see the clues. Take someone with you to find out first. I know Prisoner Fan well. He will never have the guts to poison the emperor's grandson. It must be him. Being used. Find out the details of the wine seller and follow the clues, hoping to find the mastermind. I also want to know who is using Tianlao to achieve ulterior motives. "

Chen Guanlou took the order and left.

He took his henchmen and went to the wine shop according to the address given by Warden Fan.

The door is closed!

No one answered the knock on the door.

Several people bypassed the courtyard wall, came to the back door, and climbed directly over the wall to enter.

As soon as he landed, Chen Guanlou smelled a pungent smell, the smell of blood. He opened the door and saw the boss's family of four and two clerks, all lying in a pool of blood, already dead.

Xiao Jin was experienced and avoided the blood on the ground. He stepped forward to explore and said: "He has been dead for at least four or five hours. Mr. Chen, this is clearly a murder and silence. The clue is broken, what should we do next? How? Explain to the Second Young Master?"

Chen Guanlou said nothing, but walked around several corpses, looked over the marks on the wounds, and tried to deduce. He even replaced himself as a killer. What would happen if he wanted to kill someone?

"There should be only one killer. After climbing over the wall, he first met two guys, one with a knife. Then came the boss's two children, and then the boss and the boss's wife."

"Chen Tou knows the names of criminals, but he can actually investigate the scene?" Xiao Jin looked impressed.

Chen Guanlou shook his head and did not explain, "The killer must know the situation of this family very well. He doesn't even have anyone who can beat him, so he dares to come in and kill people."

"But everyone is dead, and we don't know who killed the boss and his family."

Chen Guanlou continued to talk to himself, "The killer uses a knife, and the strength is not bad." He was at the peak of the first rank, but his sword skills were average. Anyway, compared to his sword skills, it was too poor.

He only recited these contents silently in his mind and told no one. You must not reveal your details just because you are investigating a case.

Xiao Jin was very worried, "Tou Chen, what should we do next? Why did the second young master give us the responsibility of investigating the case? As long as he doesn't pursue the case, even if the Jin Yiwei is alerted, we should be fine."

"Just because he doesn't pursue the matter doesn't mean His Highness Prince Jin doesn't pursue it, and it doesn't mean that the palace doesn't pursue it. However, from the Second Young Master's point of view, it is indeed a bit strange not to publicize this matter."

He was almost poisoned to death, but when he woke up, he was able to calmly negotiate terms with Tian Tian, ​​​​and even agreed to hide it, weird!

Last night, when he came up with the idea to have a good talk with the Second Young Master, he actually didn't hold out hope. He just wanted to take this opportunity to guide the matter into the palace and seek a chance to escape.

Things developed far beyond his expectations.

"What did Mr. Chen think of?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head and denied it.

"Do you want to report it to the official?"

Chen Guanlou shook his head again, "The restaurant is closed for no reason, and the surrounding neighbors will report it to the government sooner or later. Let's not do anything unnecessary. Let's go, there is no value here."
