The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

Perhaps it was because she saw that figure a few days ago that she couldn't help but search for that person, and then discovered some hidden truths from the past.

Previously, she genuinely had no idea that the person's murder was related to Liu Yi.

Perhaps it was for this reason that when she heard of Liu Yizhi's death this morning, she did not feel much grief, but rather a sense of relief.

Today, the person behind Liu Yi's organization has arrived.

Madam Hu thought the other party was seeking the truth about Liu Yi's death, but instead, she heard from the other party about the whereabouts of another piece of fire rain agate.

"Could it be that everything was predestined?"

I thought of that familiar figure I unexpectedly saw a few days ago.

Then he thought of what Jiang Chuan had said at that moment.

Mrs. Hu suddenly had this feeling.

Her tone subtly changed, and she couldn't help but ask Jiang Chuan, "Have you really seen a Fire Rain Agate that's exactly the same as this one?"

Jiang Chuan replied, "That Fire Rain Agate does indeed look very similar to the one you're wearing, Madam. But perhaps I'm mistaken. So, to make sure I'm not mistaken, would you please hand over the Fire Rain Agate you're wearing to me?"

"Let me compare them?"

Jiang Chuan made a request that surprised Madam Hu.

Mrs. Hu was taken aback when she heard this request.

She was caught in a dilemma.

This fire-rain agate is something that carries her thoughts and feelings.

Should we deliver it?

If what the other party said is true, and there really is another piece of Fire Rain Agate, wouldn't I be unable to find the other piece of Fire Rain Agate if I don't hand it over?

Mrs. Hu hesitated for a moment, but finally made up her mind.

Liu Yi is now dead.

She no longer had so many worries; she wanted to find her daughter.

Therefore, Madam Hu decisively took off the Fire Rain Agate she was wearing and handed it to Jiang Chuan, saying, "I'm entrusting it to you, Mr. Jiang."

"It's alright," Jiang Chuan said with a smile. "Your wife is the widow of Zuo Sima. Now that Zuo Sima is dead, as his close friend, it is my duty to take care of her and help her overcome her troubles."

Fortunately, Liu Yi died; otherwise, even he wouldn't have known that he had such a close friend as Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan came quickly and left quickly.

He claimed to have come because of Liu Yi's death, but in reality, he didn't even go to the crime scene.

He came here merely to pay his respects to Madam Hu, as if he had come for Madam Hu's sake.

The steward in Liu Yi's household keenly noticed this.

"This man, could he have taken a fancy to the lady?"

The butler's eyes darted around as he began to make plans in his mind.

Now that Liu Yi is dead, it's no wonder that Madam Hu, a beautiful widow, is coveted by others. As for myself, as Liu Yi's steward (the capable Zhao), my position is also in jeopardy after losing Liu Yi as my powerful backer.

Although he was backed by the night, in the past, his support in the darkness was Liu Yi.

If one could seize the opportunity to curry favor with this newly favored figure in front of the general, it might be a way out.

The butler couldn't help but think of such things again.

Jiang Chuan was unaware of the thoughts of the steward in Liu Yi's household.

Just as he was leaving Liu Yi's residence, two more people arrived at Liu Yi's mansion, having come to investigate the truth.

The visitors were none other than Han Fei, the newly appointed Minister of Justice of the State of Han, and Zhang Liang, the grandson of Chancellor Zhang Kaidi.

As they passed by the door, Jiang Chuan glanced at them without saying a word.

Han Fei also noticed Jiang Chuan, and his eyebrows rose slightly.

Although it was their first formal meeting, he was no stranger to Jiang Chuan. He hadn't expected that Jiang Chuan would arrive here before them.

Chapter Seventy-Two: Changes in Blood

"That person just now..."

Watching Jiang Chuan leave, Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Han Fei said in a deep voice, "Liu Yi was a member of Ji Wuye's faction. It seems that Ji Wuye is very concerned about Liu Yi's death."

He didn't say who that person was, because Zhang Liang actually knew.

Zhang Liang's expression grew increasingly solemn.

Liu Yi had just died when Ji Wuye's men appeared at Liu Yi's residence. What exactly was involved in Liu Yi's death?

With this in mind, Zhang Liang followed Han Fei into Liu Yi's residence.

Then Han Fei began to examine the crime scene where Liu Yi died.

Through his examination of the scene, he concluded that the room was not the primary crime scene.

Then, they continued to search for clues and eventually found a secret room in Liu Yi's room.

Inside the sealed room, blood splattered on the floor, leaving mottled marks.

Han Fei immediately confirmed that this was the primary crime scene.

Then, in this secret room, he discovered a strange symbol.

This symbol was left with fresh blood.

Han Fei keenly sensed that this symbol was very likely a key clue to solving the case.

"This is the script of the Baiyue region."

Although Zhang Liang was young, he was well-read and knew a lot of obscure knowledge, so he immediately recognized the origin of the symbol.

"In the Baiyue script, it represents—a promise of life and death!"

Why would the symbol 220 appear here?

"Is the person who killed Liu Yi connected to the Baiyue?"

Zhang Liang began to speculate.

After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Han Fei also said in a deep voice: "More than ten years ago, the State of Han and the State of Chu joined forces to invade Baiyue. Liu Yi was a participant in that battle. Perhaps it was the people of Baiyue who were seeking revenge against Liu Yi back then."

Of course, this is just his guess.

No one knows the truth.

Immediately afterwards, Han Fei and Zhang Liang went to see Lady Hu.

Because Han Fei discovered a suspicious point.

It is extremely strange that Liu Yi and Madam Hu, who are clearly husband and wife, did not share a bed in the same room.

Then, when asking Mrs. Hu questions.

Zhang Liang discovered some more details: Lady Hu was secretive about Liu Yi's death, and even seemed to be secretly pleased.

Han Fei naturally noticed these details as well.

And so, he came up with a new guess.

Could it be that Madam Hu was the one who killed Liu Yi?

Perhaps because Jiang Chuan took away the Fire Rain Agate that Madam Hu was wearing first, Han Fei did not notice this, which led to new guesses and new ideas.

……

Jiang Chuan returned to the mansion with the Fire Rain Agate he had obtained from Madam Hu.

"My husband has been so busy these past few days."

Ru Shuang, holding Yan'er's hand, smiled at Jiang Chuan.

Yan'er can now take a few steps with someone holding her hand.

It has to be said that children grow up very quickly, almost changing every day.

"Some things have been going on lately."

Jiang Chuan explained to Ru Shuang, "However, I have discovered something."

"What is it?" Ru Shuang asked curiously.

Jiang Chuan said to Ru Shuang, "That is, my body is indeed quite strange."

"Ok?"

Like frost that cannot be dispelled.

Jiang Chuan said, "That day, after taking Yan Lingji as my concubine, I gained the Fire Virtue Body. Last night, in order to verify certain things, I had a sparring session with that Tide Demoness and took her 'red pills.' In the end, I discovered that my body had changed again."

Jiang Chuan did not hide anything from Ru Shuang about his relationship with the Tide Demoness, appearing quite frank.

"My husband, you really are..."
