Niu Jingyuan didn't seem to expect that someone in the world would express his hatred for him so frankly. He stared at Yun Xi who had begun to diagnose his pulse, and all the tears he had shed just now disappeared.

"It's not bad. Although I felt suffocated for a while, it's nothing serious." After Yun Xi concentrated on checking her pulse, she took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill and handed it to Niu Jingyuan.

Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Yun Xi smiled and explained: "It's medicine to moisten the lungs, not poison."

If you really want to poison him, why do you need anyone to do it?

Niu Jingyuan also felt that his villain's heart was like a gentleman's. He quickly took the pill and swallowed it. Instantly, a warm current flowed from his esophagus to his limbs, and his mind felt a little clearer.

"Since you hate me, why do you want to save me?" Niu Jingyuan was very puzzled: "If I die, won't it eliminate the hatred in your heart?"

Yun Xi had already picked up several things and was about to leave. When she heard Niu Jingyuan's words, she turned her head with confusion and said: "I am a doctor, how can my personal emotions affect my original intention of treating diseases and saving people? Master Niu should pay due due for his mistakes.

The price is."

Can simply dying bring the deceased back to life? Revenge cannot bring back the ten years of being without a father and a mother.

Niu Jingyuan was suddenly stabbed in the lung tube by Yun Xi.

She, a little girl, would respect medical ethics at critical moments, but what about him? As a fifth-rank bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the leader of the world's top students, what did he do?

"Master Niu, you must be more careful in the yamen these days. This fire only burned Xin Hao to death. The people behind the scenes may not keep an eye on you again."

Yun Xi repeatedly told Niu Jingyuan not to act alone to avoid being caught and committing crimes.

Now that the situation is gradually becoming clear, Niu Jingyuan is more valuable to the Ministry of Punishment and Lu Qingfan if he is alive; it is self-evident who wants him dead.

Niu Jingyuan looked at Yun Xi and murmured: "Yun Wuzuo, I, did I make you lose everything..."

"How can you be so confident, sir?" Yun Xi curled her lips: "There are many people like me who have lost their most precious family members, but I have also gained a new family."

Everything in life is not in the past, but in the future.

"It was my fault! I shouldn't have helped the tyrants and seek skin from the tigers!"

Niu Jingyuan seemed to have made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Listening to what you have to say is worth ten years of reading. I still have some inside information that I have not revealed, and I would like to make up another confession."

This was an unexpected surprise.

Yun Xi was slightly surprised, then nodded slightly and said, "I'll go find Master."

After a while, Ren Danqing, who put aside his work, followed Yun Xi's master and servant to the mission room.

He was a veteran at recording confessions. He sat at the table and nodded to Yun Xi, indicating that they could start.

Yun Xi didn't waste any time and said to Niu Jingyuan, "Can you tell me what else you want to add to your confession, Mr. Niu?"

"Hey, I didn't leak the topic accidentally, but did it deliberately. At that time, I was impeached by another bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and several students who had been severely scolded by me were obstructing me. The emperor then

I was so angry that I deliberately exposed the issue..."

This matter was a long story, and Niu Jingyuan knew the key to it. He hit the point every word, and soon everyone got a valuable confession.

After recording the confession, Niu Jingyuan's mind had settled and he couldn't help but said to Yun Xi: "I've finished talking about those old things. Now even if someone wants to silence me, you don't have to worry about my life anymore."

His heartfelt words made Ren Danqing very unhappy. After putting down the pen, he said angrily: "Did we save your life because of this confession? Without your confession, the truth of that year would have been revealed to the world sooner or later!"

Investigating the truth and making the case known to the world is a just matter and is never done for the so-called "purpose".

Niu Jingyuan underestimated the righteousness of the people in the Ministry of Punishment.

Niu Jingyuan was speechless and said hurriedly: "I made a mistake."

Coming out of the mission room, Ren Danqing asked curiously: "Girl Yun, what did you say to Niu Jingyuan? Why did he suddenly let go."

Xin Huo has already made it clear how this person behaves, and everyone has long known that Niu Jingyuan is dishonest in his words. Does the sun rise in the west today?

"He didn't say anything. He figured it out on his own."

Ren Danqing looked unbelieving and thought Yun Xi was unwilling to share the gossip with her.

Just because she doesn't say it doesn't mean Qingguo doesn't want to say it!

"Oh Master, you should ask Qingguo about this!"

Qingguo grabbed the master's sleeve and recounted the conversation between the two. Ren Danqing stroked his beard and smiled proudly. At the end, he said: "I really found out what you said."

Yun Xi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this.

Ren Danqing continued to record the confessions of the remaining officers, so Master Yunxi returned to the mission room to wait.

After Ran Piao finished investigating the kerosene matter, he led Yun Xi and his servants back to the mission room first.

"Master Ran is back, how is the situation?" Yun Xi asked.

"Those two guards are stupid," Ran Piao said angrily: "I didn't know what to do after asking, so I went to the shop specifically and found the supplier: The man said he bought it from Jiangnan Merchant Ship...

"

Jiangnan merchant ships?

The first thing that came to Yun Xi's mind was Zhang Shuo.

"The boat owner's surname is Zhang?"

"How do you know?" Ran Piao was surprised, and then his beard twitched instinctively: "You mean Zhang Shuo, the vendor who reported Bao Youchun?"

Yun Xi nodded heavily.

Without further delay, Ran Piao and his master and servant Yun Xi immediately went to the inn where Zhang Shuo was staying to look for him.

When the two arrived, the boatman said that Zhang Shuo had taken the merchant ship this morning and had just left not long ago.

"Oops, I can't catch up." Ran Piao's face turned a little pale, "I'm afraid I've gotten into a big trouble."

"Lord Ran, don't panic." Yun Xi bit her lip, and a map of the entire capital city appeared in front of her eyes.

Since the person has just left, he can still catch up.

"Sir, let's take a small road." Yun Xi couldn't help but grabbed Ran Piao's sleeve and pushed him into the carriage. She ordered the coachman to stay while Qingguo drove, and the three of them rushed to the dock immediately.

"Yun, Miss Yun, can we make it in time? The store owners say they have already set off. Even if we get to the dock, the boat may have already sailed."

Yun Xi calculated the best route in her mind and said to Qingguo: "Turn left, turn right ahead!"

"Okay!" Qingguo said nothing and just drove the horse.

Ran Piao wanted to ask again, but he was pushed back into the carriage by force. He fell all over and could not get up again.

The daily boat sailing time in the south of the Yangtze River is fixed, especially at the Beijing Pier, the bayonet is strict.

Before the share of salt and iron was released, Zhang Shuo sneaked away secretly without informing the Ministry of Punishments. There must be something fishy.

If we can catch Zhang Shuo, we might be able to find some clues about the arson case!

Qingguo followed Yun Xi's route and arrived at the pier in less than half a cup of tea. She immediately jumped out of the carriage and hurried to find the official at the dock before the ship left, and revealed her identity.

"Why do you, a coward, come to us to take care of the errands of entering and exiting the ship? Let's go, let's go! The little girl doesn't do anything serious!"

When the officer saw that Yun Xi was a widower, he didn't take her seriously at all, so he raised his hand and tried to chase her away.

"You can't ask, but I, a member of the Criminal Department, can you ask?" Yun Xi was about to continue arguing when Ran Piao was hurriedly helped in by Qing Guo!

He held the token in his hand and said sternly: "The Ministry of Punishment is dealing with an important matter. You let go of an important ship. If something goes wrong, the Holy Spirit will ask you. Can you bear it?"

The officer recognized Ran Piao's token, his expression changed, and he hurriedly asked people to stop the boat!

Yun Xi ignored the snobby guard and quickly walked to the dock to look for Zhang Shuo.

The Zhang family's ship was magnificent and should not be underestimated. Yun Xi quickly recognized its location and shouted to the deck.

Coincidentally, Zhang Shuo was standing on the deck at that time. He was surprised when he saw Yun Xi: "Yun Zuo, why are you chasing me?"

"Shopkeeper Zhang, could you please lower the deck!" Yun Xi saw that Zhang Shuo's tone was normal and he didn't seem to be running away. She looked relieved and asked him to come down to talk.

Zhang Shuo hesitated for a moment, then saw the figure of Master Ran not far away, and knew that he was probably here for the case?

Is there any trouble again?

"Shopkeeper Zhang, it concerns the internal safety of your Zhang family. Please come down and listen to the daughter of the people!"

Seeing that Zhang Shuo's expression had relaxed, Yun Xi continued to lobby.

When Zhang Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but said to the people around him: "Why are you still standing there, put it on the deck quickly!"

"Shopkeeper, the boat is about to sail!" the boss of the boat urged.

"That's a good idea. I have ordered that no ships are allowed to leave. Do you still want to leave?" Mr. Ran put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Hurry up and lower the deck!"

The two of them tried hard and soft, and the ship boss had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Shuo walked off the boat with a long stride, "Yun Wuzuo, Mr. Ran, what happened? You came here in such a hurry."

"Has shopkeeper Zhang been selling kerosene recently?"

"No." Zhang Shuo was confused by Yun Xi's question: "I'm in the salt and iron business, what kind of kerosene do I get?"

This is strange.

Yun Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and when she was about to continue asking, she heard a huge noise from the palace!

She suddenly turned her head and saw wisps of black smoke floating in the sky in the direction of the palace.

"Well, that's artillery?" Ran Piao murmured: "Who dares to use artillery right under the imperial city?

"Oops." Yun Xi's expression tightened.
