Chapter 18 Jasper Toad

He Changyang died in his study room. The case was definitely not blocked. After all, the Shangshu, the head of the six ministries, and the dignified court official, suddenly died at home. It would be shocking news for the civil and military officials of the court.

Even Ni Canghai was shocked when he heard the news. After thinking about it for a while in the car, he realized the strangeness.

Not to mention the particularity of the identity of the Minister of Personnel, let alone He Changyang is still an important chess piece in his hand. He died in a flash. If it were the original Ni Canghai, there would definitely be many people who would have fallen to the ground.

Ni Canghai is not that bloodthirsty, but he still feels strange.

Death by chance means not natural death, but another abnormal way of death. According to the report of the Imperial Guard, He Changyang was bleeding in seven orifices, that is, blood was flowing out of both eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth, and there were obvious traces of incontinence in his lower body. He initially investigated that there were dark spots on his ears and tongue, and it was suspected that he had been poisoned and died.

He strode into the backyard of Shangshu Mansion. He was blocked after learning that He Changyang had already been blocked after he saw Ni Canghai walking in. A group of Qinglong Guards knelt on the ground and greeted Ni Canghai.

Ni Canghai waved his hand and signaled the many guards to rise up. Chenlong, Chouqiu and Maotu followed him and called someone up: "Lead the way forward."

"yes."

Several guards led the way, turned around and came to the study room of the Shangshu Mansion.

There was more than one person in the yard here. The courtyard was filled with He Changyang's family and many maids and servants. They were both uneasy and crying. They were surrounded by more than a dozen guards and watched. Many of the families were so scared that their legs were weak.

He Changyang has a wife and two concubines, three sons and two daughters. Two of them are officials all year round and they will only go home at the end of the year. The youngest son is six years old this year, and a little boy who knows nothing is curled up in the arms of his concubine, staring at the guards present in fear.

There were seven other maids, one housekeeper and twelve servants in the Shangshu Mansion. Three of them were the first to guard the secret spy outside the study room for the secret spy hidden here. They noticed something was wrong. The name Zhang Zhong, who saw Ni Canghai walking, immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed to apologize.

"Super the Lord, if his subordinates do things in a bad way, they deserve to die. Please forgive me."

After several consecutive rings, the bluestone slabs on the ground were knocked "bang" and made a "bang" sound.

"Get up and come in with me."

Ni Canghai glanced at He Changyang's family, and didn't have much interest in talking to these women and children, and walked straight into the study.

As soon as I entered the study, Ni Canghai's attention was not on these numerous scrolls and collections. At first glance, he was attracted by the body that tilted his head and fell to the desk.

As the person below reported, He Changyang died of blood in his seven orifices, and even the rice paper on the flat table was stained with a lot of blood.

"The Buddha told Subhuti... to have such a mind, and I should destroy all sentient beings, and to save all sentient beings, but there is no sentient being who has actually destroyed... There is no Dharma to develop the Anuttara Samyaksambodhicitta."

Ni Canghai glanced at the handwriting written by He Changyang, but it was a Diamond Sutra.

"Zhang Zhong."

"Subordinate is here."

Zhang Zhong was waiting by the side, and he didn't dare to breathe. He felt extremely uneasy. He had caused a big disaster this time, but he didn't notice that He Shangshu had an accident. Such a dereliction of duty, according to the Qinglong Guard, would be a crime.

"You waited here all night last night. Is there anything wrong with He Shangshu before?"

Ni Canghai withdrew his gaze and focused his attention on the spy.

"Report to the governor, there was nothing unusual about Shangshu He before the incident, subordinates, subordinates..."

Zhang Zhong was sweating profusely and his knees were trembling.

At this moment, the Chou Niu followed him in, came to Ni Canghai, and whispered: "Master, they have asked everyone in the Shangshu Mansion, especially the family of Shangshu He. They also said that they did not notice any strangeness. All the food and sandalwood were found, and they have not found it yet."

“Where is the coroner?”

He said calmly against the sea.

"The coroner's preliminary autopsy was found, but he could only determine that he died at about three o'clock in the morning."

"What poison is not found?"

Ni Canghai frowned slightly.

"The Lord of the Supervisor has sent someone to invite the snake, and it should be coming soon."

The ugly cow said.

Among the twelve zodiac signs, or within the entire investigation department, if anyone is most familiar with poison, it is the snake that is respected. With the ability of the snake, it is definitely possible to find out what kind of poison He Changyang was killed by it.

Ni Canghai looked at He Changyang's body again. Logically speaking, He Changyang had no reason to commit suicide. He lived a good life and secretly defected to him. How could he commit suicide?

When he was pondering about it in the sea, there was a guard outside reporting.

"Report, the governor, the Snake Commander, and ask for a visit outside the gate of the Snake Commander."

"Let him in."

The twelve zodiac officials were appointed as the chief inspector of the Investigation Commander, with a rank of fifth rank. Even if they were in the important places of the capital, they were not too small, and they were still in the Qinglong Guard, which everyone feared like a tiger. However, among these twelve people, it was probably the most strange of the snake.

He was eight feet tall, but his figure was relatively thin. He did not wear the official uniform of the Investigation Department. He just wore a dress of ordinary people, and walked in with his hair disheveled and his hair was like a beggar.

Such a dress and figure were not informed in advance, and who outsiders could believe that this was actually a commander who investigated the Qinglong Guard of the Si.

"Shit, see the Lord."

Nothing as respectful as other zodiac signs, the snake vaguely raised her hands at Ni Canghai. When her eyes lit up, she walked straight to where He Changyang's body was.

"Interesting, interesting, this taste..."

The snake, regardless of the eyes of the others present, lay on the body and sniffed it with its nose.

Ni Canghai is calm on the surface, but in fact he is curious inside. Of course, he cannot show it on the surface. Instead, he has to look so calm.

After sniffing the smell of the corpse, the snake checked the tongue and other parts of the corpse, and finally nodded, and turned around and said, "It's hard to see, it's really not seen in several years."

"Snake, do you know what poison He Shangshu was infected with?"

The ugly cow said curiously.

"Shit..."

The snake's eyes were almost covered by its messy hair, but a trace of eyes could be seen vaguely from the gaps in the hair.

"This is a poison prepared by Jade Toad and a bunch of flowers and plants."

"Jade Toad? What is that?"

Everyone standing next to him was stunned, but they had never heard of such things.

"Jade Toad?"
