Chapter 217 There are clues
Hua Xiangying got back on the horse and looked back at Jian Huaimu.

The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and then continued towards Dali Temple.

However, when the two of them first came to Dali Temple, they noticed that a jailer came out carrying two corpses.

The corpse was still covered with two pieces of white cloth, and when the jailer passed by the two of them, Hua Xiangying stopped them with a feeling.

"and many more."

The jailers stopped and turned to look at Hua Xiangying.

After recognizing Hua Xiangying, several people greeted each other.

"See General!"

Hua Xiangying stepped forward, looked at the white cloth covering the corpse, and gently rubbed her fingers against her side, but was still hesitating whether to open the white cloth first.

The guards seemed to have seen Hua Xiangying's thoughts, and one of them took the initiative to lift the white cloth. Isn't the face under the white cloth the lady from the dim sum shop?
At this moment, the thousands of words in Hua Xiangying's heart converged into a sigh.

Then she frowned and reprimanded: "What's going on? Didn't you just come back for interrogation? How could people disappear?!"

The jailer also said helplessly: "Forgive me, General, the proprietress of the dim sum shop, her daughter, and the shop assistants are all very suspicious, but they were poisoned and died before our side could interrogate them. We have no choice but to acquiesce in the conclusion that they committed suicide after poisoning the distinguished guests in order to destroy the evidence."

When Hua Xiangying heard this, her brows were furrowed instantly: "It's a piece of nonsense! This aunt's daughter is already married, so how can this matter have anything to do with her?"

"General, everything I said is true." The jailer said, and hastily added: "If it is according to the past, this matter really has nothing to do with this old lady's daughter, but these days, The aunt’s daughter went back to the store to help, and today is no exception, all the people in the store were taken back to Dali Temple, but without exception, all of them were poisoned and died, even the young ones couldn’t help it.”

Jian Huaimu nodded: "I've wasted your time, go get busy, we won't delay your business."

The jailer quickly responded, and then without wasting any more time, he carried the corpse and left.

At this time, Ming Guize also found Dali Temple.

Seeing Hua Xiangying's and Jian Huaimu's more serious expressions, Ming Guize shook his head and said to Hua Xiangying: "This king has something very important to discuss with the general, Mr. Jian please go back first."

Jian Huaimu himself felt that Ming Guize was not a kind person. If he and Hua Xiangying were to be alone together, Jian Huaimu would feel really worried.

Ming Guize could also see Jian Huaimu's hesitation, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and said, "What? Could it be that Mr. Jian still suspects that this king will do something bad to the general? In broad daylight, this king is not stupid yet. At this point, Mr. Jian can rest assured."

Hua Xiangying naturally understood this truth in her heart, so she nodded and said to Jian Huaimu: "Huaimu, you go back first, I will continue to investigate this matter, and I will not let the aunt die in vain."

Jian Huaimu said: "Compared with those, I am still more worried about your safety. The most important thing is to take care of yourself first."

Hua Xiangying nodded: "Don't worry."

Having said that, Jian Huaimu also nodded slightly, and then left.

After Jian Huaimu left, Ming Guize took Hua Xiangying to the tea house.

After the two entered the tea house, they went directly to the private room on the second floor.

The waiter here seems to have known Ming Guize's taste for a long time, so he didn't even ask, and directly served a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.

Ming Guize pushed the snack in front of Hua Xiangying.

"Let's have something to eat."

Hua Xiangying just glanced at the snack in front of him, but didn't make a move.

At this time, Hua Xiangying had completely calmed down, she looked up at Ming Guize, and asked, "The corpse in the alley just now..."

Ming Guize also seemed to know that Hua Xiangying would definitely ask him, and he didn't intend to hide it from her, so he told her the truth: "Ben Wang happened to pass by at that time, and he was already dead when he arrived. I happened to pass by, and I chose to leave because I was worried about being misunderstood, but the identity of the deceased has nothing to do with the killing of the distinguished guest, and the death of the mother and daughter of the dim sum shop may also be related to it."

Hua Xiangying listened, frowning tightly: "Where is that corpse now?"

"I'm currently in Dali Temple." Ming Guize replied: "After leaving that alley, I came directly to Dali Temple. I just explained the situation to the secretary of Dali Temple. When I was about to leave, I ran into you and Mr. Jian's family."

After a slight pause, Ming Guize asked again: "Did you have an argument with someone on the way here just now?"

Hua Xiangying froze when she was about to raise her hand to take the teacup, and looked at Ming Guize.

"How did the Regent know about this?"

Ming Guize raised his chin at her sleeve: "Go back and ask your wife to make up for you."

Hua Xiangying lowered her head following what Ming Guize pointed at, and saw the marks on her right arm that had been cut open by a sharp weapon.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I met some assassins who were overwhelmed."

"Where are those assassins now?" Ming Guize asked.

Hua Xiangying shook her head: "I don't know, I ran away."

Hearing this, Ming Guize smiled and said: "It seems that the general knows the reason why the poor should not chase after them."

Regarding this, Hua Xiangying did not explain too much, but asked: "Your Highness brought me here on purpose, what is the important matter, and you want to discuss it with me?"

"There is indeed something very important, and I want to tell you." Ming Guize paused for a moment, and then said again: "The imprint that you commissioned me to investigate, I found out."

When Hua Xiangying heard this, her pupils shrank slightly.

She moved her lips, as if she wanted to ask, but Ming Guize didn't give her a chance to speak, and said directly: "The king found some clues about the imprint in the palace. This imprint originated from the Kingdom of Meng. The assassin was most likely a Meng countryman, but we have no grievances with Meng country, maybe someone pretended to be a Meng countryman, these are also unknown."

Hua Xiangying listened, and did not directly answer Ming Guize's words, but after thinking for a while, he asked him: "The minister once asked the people in the palace about the imprint, but there was no clue. I don't know where His Highness the Regent is. Looking for news?"

Ming Guize: "..."

Hua Xiangying even asked other people in the palace?

This is really unexpected...

"Well, maybe the person you asked just doesn't know. The king's inspection in the palace is to read the classics, not to ask others. After all, it is a matter entrusted by the general. Without the general's permission, this king will naturally not tell other people about it. people."
