When Bao Qing and Zhan Zhao and Zhan Fei rushed to Li's mansion, Cheng Lin, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, had already brought people to investigate.

"Oh? The news about Bao County Magistrate is so fast?" Cheng Lin teased when she saw Bao Qing.

"Where is it? I happened to pass by, pass by! Haha!" Bao Qing said, and kept stretching his head and looking in.

Cheng Lin had no good feelings for Bao Qing. He and Wang Su were friends. Seeing that Bao Qing had arrived specifically and pretended to be passing by, it was really annoying.

"Then the county magistrate Bao will pass by! Sorry, I have to go in and check it out!" Cheng Lin went straight into the Li Mansion without looking back.

Seeing this, Bao Qing hurriedly took Zhan Zhao and Zhanfei to follow him, but was stopped by the constable who was guarding the gate.

"What, can't you go in and take a look? I'm also an official!" Bao Qing regretted it a little. He should have been wearing official uniforms. Unfortunately, this official in the Song Dynasty did not have an official certificate, which was really troublesome.

Zhan Zhao quickly took out a waist card from his arms, but it was the waist card of the captain of Changyuan County, Luzhou. Zhan Zhao handed the waist card on it.

"What brand is this? It doesn't work! You'd better leave! Didn't you see that we lords don't like you? Otherwise, I'd invited you to come in and take a look!" said the gatekeeper.

"Hey! You, a gatekeeper, can see clearly. Then what should I do if I have to go in?" Bao Qing was a little angry. Why did he meet some unfavorable masters these two days?

After Bao Qing finished speaking, he rushed inside. Seeing this, the detective wanted to draw his sword, but Zhan Fei, who was beside him, had already removed his arm and screamed in pain.

"Good skills! I didn't expect that any follower around Lord Bao was so powerful!" Bao Qingxun looked at him and felt a little embarrassed. Isn't that Cao Sheng, the father of the Cao sisters?

Bao Qing bowed and said, "What a coincidence, where is the general going?"

"What a coincidence? I'm here to chase you. I guess you'll come to the Li Mansion. Why? Lord Bao doesn't plan to investigate my daughter's kidnapping? Do you think the case is too small? But he came to the Li Mansion to join in the fun."

"If it's not the case, I want to go in, but I'm blocked by others!" Bao Qing pretended to be helpless.

"Hmph, these people are just looking down on the people. Lord Bao, come, I will take you in!" After Cao Qi said that, he stepped into the gate of Li's mansion, and Bao Qing followed.

Li Hai died in the study. When Bao Qing and the others arrived, the scene had been destroyed by the constable brought by Kaifeng Prefecture Cheng Lin.

Bao Qing looked carefully. Li Hai sat upright on the chair in front of the desk, his head slightly upward, as if he was thinking about something, but his face was extremely ugly. Bao Qing stepped forward gently and approached the dead Li Hai carefully. Looking carefully, there seemed to be a sense of unwillingness and anger on Li Hai's face.

Hey! Why is Li Hai's mouth a little red and swollen, as if he is burned by something?

Bao Qing turned around and looked around again. The study room was quite messy, with books everywhere. It seemed that the ground had not been cleaned for a while. Some official documents from the Ministry of Works were scattered on the desk. There was a long-mouthed teapot in the center of the table, which should be used by Li Hai for tea.

Bao Qing saw that the teapot was a bit strange, and probably the burn on Li Hai's mouth was the one that burned the spout of the teapot. Bao Qing was about to pick up the teapot and carefully consider it.

"Don't move, just look at it, why do you still do it? Besides, Lord Bao, you, a long-term county magistrate, don't need to come to the capital to investigate the case." Cheng Lin said without hesitation, and Bao Qing had to retract his hand when he heard this.

"Hmph, isn't it the prefect of Kaifeng? Have you cut off a few major cases? Is our Lord Bao here to help you know? I really don't know at all!" Zhan Fei had long disliked Cheng Lin.

"Ha, I didn't expect that I would need a yellow-haired boy to teach me a lesson."

Seeing that the two were about to arguish, Cao Yan couldn't help but frown and said to Cheng Lin: "Don't you call me! Don't you just look here? You are using this! You asked me to tell me, Cheng Lin, don't be angry. Just the prefect of Kaifeng this year, you just help people find missing puppies all day long, and which girl has been teased again, go and have a good relationship. You Kaifeng Mansion has never encountered any major cases. My daughter was tied up, so it can be regarded as a major case in Bianjing. I'll ask you Cheng Lin, when will you catch the murderer for me?"

Cheng Lin was speechless when Cao Yan said, right? The Kaifeng prefect usually did these messy things. But it can't be entirely blamed. Didn't any prefecture in previous years come like this? The key is that the water in the capital is too deep, and there are high officials who are better than him everywhere. Whenever he encounters something, it's his turn to make decisions.

"Haha, I have nothing to say! Brother Bao, come on, what's the good thing about this teapot?" Zhan Fei reached out and took the teapot and wanted to hand it to Bao Qing, but his hand slipped and fell to the ground, and was immediately dropped into pieces.

"You! Lord Bao, you are too bold!" Cheng Lin shouted.

Bao Qing smiled slightly after hearing this, and said to Zhan Fei: "It's okay, let Kaifeng Mansion quote a price. How much is it? We will pay according to the price!"

"Sir Bao, look, Li Hai is really good at choosing the news, and he got the news from the palace. He probably sent an imperial edict in the afternoon. He probably heard that he was dismissed from office, so he committed suicide. Isn't there a saying that goes? It's better to live without death." Cao Yan said with emotion.

"The coroner just saw it. Li Hai committed suicide by taking poison at about noon. The teapot that your follower accidentally broke was Li Hai's teapot. The coroner found that the tea was poisonous in the tea." Cheng Lin said.

"How can you conclude that Li Hai committed suicide?" Bao Qing looked around and found nothing else.

"It goes without saying that Li Hai must be unable to bear it after learning that he was going to be dismissed from office, so he couldn't think of it for a moment and committed suicide by taking poison!" Cheng Lin said.

Bao Qing shook his head and said, "This is not enough to be sure that Li Hai committed suicide. This kind of thing cannot be based on guesses, but it must be supported by corresponding evidence. Lord Gong, why don't we make a bet, I bet that Li Hai will definitely not commit suicide."

"Okay, I'll bet with you, and I lost and held a banquet of flowers in Shenglong Building in Bianjing!" Cheng Lin said.

"Okay, I want all Li Hai's servants to come here to accept my inquiries. I wonder if it's okay?" Bao Qing asked.

"Of course! I want to see how Bao Shenduan investigated the case! The person who came, called all the servants and maids of the Li Mansion to ask questions." Cheng Lin sneered.

Cao Qi quietly pulled Bao Qing's sleeve and whispered: "You are really betting, do you know what Baihua Banquet is?"

"What? It's just a banquet!"

"It's just a banquet? The Hundred Flowers Banquet is to let a hundred beautiful beauties accompany you to have dinner? The most noble banquet in Shenglong Building!"

"One hundred beauties? Haha, okay, okay!" Bao Qing laughed loudly.

"Don't be proud of yourself, I've called you all!"

Bao Qing looked at it at first sight and looked like eleven or two people.

"Often, who are you here to clean the study and who will serve Mr. Li's daily life?" Bao Qing asked.

The dozen servants and maids looked at each other. An older servant walked out, bowed, and said to Bao Qing: "This master, I usually serve the master's food and daily life. The master's study room is never allowed to be entered, so we have never cleaned it."

"Oh? Tell me in detail, what are your master's hobbies and habits?"

"This is not easy to say!"

"If you ask me to say it, what's not easy to say?" Zhan Fei was a little anxious.

"This, the master usually likes the little orchids in Shenglong Building, and often goes to see her secretly." As soon as the butler finished speaking, the servants below laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

"We all know about this matter of the master! That little orchid is actually equivalent to the master's concubine!"

"What other hobbies do you have? Your master usually likes to drink tea?" Bao Qing asked.

"Yes, the master usually likes tea very much. As long as he enters the study, the tea will continue to continue." The butler replied.

"Then tell me, will your master be unable to think about poisoning his own tea and then drink it and commit suicide?"

"This!" the housekeeper hesitated, "I can't explain this clearly. I'm afraid that the master will not be able to bear the blow after hearing the news of dismissal!"

"What do you mean is that you also think that your master can't stand the blow and commit suicide?" Bao Qing asked.

Cheng Lin interrupted Bao Qing with a sneer and said, "Look, the butler thinks so too!"

Bao Qing smiled and said, "Sometimes, what everyone thinks is not necessarily the truth!"

Bao Qing continued to say to the butler: "Your adults usually like to drink warm tea. He hates hot tea the most, so he is used to drinking warm tea!"

"Hey, sir, how did you know?" The official was a little surprised.

"And just recently, the tea you served was actually a newly boiled hot tea. Your master took a sip and then burned his mouth, so he scolded you very angrily!" Bao Qing asked again.

The butler didn't say anything, but other maids and servants interrupted, "Yes, we heard the master's scolding, saying that the tea was too hot and wanted to burn him to death!"

"Yes, I was so careful today that I didn't cool down the tea before I sent it." The butler said.

"You are lying!" Bao Qing suddenly shouted.
