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

If I were to expose myself, it would only cause her trouble.

Li Kai gradually came to understand these things.

Ultimately, with the help of this mysterious young man, they rode in a carriage and chose Li Kai.

As for where to go next?

Li Kai didn't know either.

He plans to find a quiet place to live out his remaining years.

As that person said, some things are already in the past, and there's no need to bring them up again.

Han Fei was naturally unaware of what Jiang Chuan had been doing in secret.

After having Ru Shuang kill the vulture, Jiang Chuan found Li Kai and sent him away.

Jiang Chuan cut off all the clues.

If Han Fei can still solve the case under these circumstances, then he is truly remarkable.

Han Fei immediately realized the difficulty of the case.

All the clues have gone cold.

It's difficult, extremely difficult.

Even though he learned from Hu Meiren that Madam Hu had some problems, and even suspected that Liu Yi's death was related to Madam Hu, he could not interrogate Madam Hu without concrete evidence.

And so, the case remained unsolved.

Chapter Seventy-Five: The Deadly Withering Gu

"Being a Minister of Justice is not an easy job."

Jiang Chuan also knew that Han Fei had recently fallen into a predicament. After becoming the Minister of Justice, he was unable to solve the first case he encountered. Many people in the court had begun to doubt Han Fei's ability to solve cases.

However, no blame was placed on Han Fei.

Ultimately, besides his official position as Minister of Justice, Han Fei was also the Ninth Prince. Even though he was not valued by the King of Han, he was still a son of the King of Han, and his status was extraordinary.

At most, many officials could only question his incompetence and lack of official authority.

He held the position of Minister of Justice, yet he did nothing of importance.

But he would absolutely not be impeached for this.

Ultimately, how many officials in this imperial court are there who hold positions without performing their duties and are mediocre in ability? They are as numerous as hairs on a cow.

As for the fact that the case of Liu Yi's death could not be solved, no one really cared.

After all, it's different from military pay of 100,000 taels of gold, which is a lot of money.

Liu Yi was just one person.

Even if he was the Left Sima.

But how can people be compared to money?

He's dead, so someone else will take over as the new Left Sima.

Just like the case of the ghost soldiers robbing the funds that Han Fei solved, even though 27 pieces of lost gold were recovered, the deaths of those presiding judges were still unsolved because the murderers were not brought to justice.

The same applies to Liu Yi's case.

Seeing that Han Fei was unable to solve the case for a long time, King Han became impatient and hastily closed the case. At the same time, he issued an edict to arrest the murderer who killed Liu Yi.

But in reality, this meant there was no intention to investigate further.

How can we apprehend the murderer if we don't even know who he is?

Han Fei was naturally unwilling to accept such an outcome.

He was unwilling to accept it, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Because there are too few clues.

All known leads eventually came to a standstill.

It was as if someone was deliberately erasing the traces.

What exactly was involved in Liu Yi's death?

For some reason, Han Fei thought of Jiang Chuan, whom he had seen at the gate of Liu Yi's residence that day.

Is Liu Yi's case related to Jiang Chuan?

……

It must be said that Han Fei guessed correctly this time.

Those clues were indeed severed by Jiang Chuan.

As for the reason?

Of course, it's all for the purpose of secretly plotting against Nongyu.

Nongyu is able to play melodies that resonate with the heartstrings, demonstrating extraordinary talent in music. It's possible she possesses some special physical constitution.

Jiang Chuan has now completely let himself go.

After realizing the special nature of his cheat ability, he could openly admit that he was lusting after Nongyu's body.

At the same time, having such a golden finger, he wouldn't mind going through a bit more trouble to take on a few more concubines.

Nongyu was a concubine he had chosen long ago, even before Yanlingji.

To be honest, it seems like it's been a long time since I've favored Yan Lingji.

Such intense flames must be cooled down by flowing water; only in this way can one avoid being burned by the flames and suffering from unbearable heat.

But let's skip it today.

Jiang Chuan followed the secret passage behind the palace and once again secretly sneaked into the palace.

After his first infiltration, he became increasingly adept at subsequent infiltrations.

"Madam, I'm here again."

Upon entering Madam Mingzhu's bedroom, Jiang Chuan revealed a strange smile.

When Madam Mingzhu saw Jiang Chuan arrive, her expression immediately turned cold. She looked like she was gritting her teeth, but when Jiang Chuan actually did something indecent to her, she did not resist.

The official explanation given was that she had lost her powers and was unable to resist.

But actually, for some reason, when she was fighting Jiang Chuan, she felt a connection with him through blood.

Driven by her body's instincts, she was unable to resist Jiang Chuan's actions and even couldn't help but reciprocate.

After World War I, Lady Mingzhu resisted while simultaneously enjoying herself.

After she was exhausted.

Jiang Chuan had just let her go and started talking about something else.

"I forgot to tell you, Madam, that I have learned all the Gu techniques you taught me, including the most difficult ones to refine. I am now confident that I can refine them myself."

"Impossible!" Madam Mingzhu insisted on her original opinion on this matter.

She was able to refine those Gu poisons because of her special constitution.

Jiang Chuan doesn't have that kind of physique, so it's impossible for him to refine those Gu.

Even her cousin Bai Yifei admitted that he couldn't create those Gu poisons himself and needed her help to refine them.

"They say that a night of marriage brings a hundred nights of kindness. We've been together for so many nights, and I don't know how much kindness I've shown you. Don't you trust your benefactor at all?" Jiang Chuan couldn't help but sigh.

Immediately, he said to Madam Mingzhu, "It's just a special constitution, as if no one has one."

As he spoke, he deliberately pricked his finger, and a few drops of blood flowed out.

Madam Mingzhu immediately smelled a delicate fragrance.

She was very familiar with this scent.

Because her blood also emits this fragrance, it is an outward manifestation of her special constitution and blood. In order to conceal this, in addition to her Gu poison, she also studies the art of incense making, using blended spices to mask the scent emanating from her blood.

As it turns out, this despicable person in front of me also has this kind of constitution.

Madam Mingzhu could not accept this, as it meant that Jiang Chuan could actually learn those Gu techniques.

Immediately afterwards, Madam Mingzhu remembered something her cousin had mentioned and suddenly exclaimed, "Impossible! How could you possibly have such a constitution? You're lying to me!"

"Why can't I have this kind of physique?" Jiang Chuan asked rhetorically.

"My cousin said that in our clan, only women can possess this kind of physique," Madam Mingzhu unexpectedly dropped a bombshell.

"Huh?" Jiang Chuan looked at Madam Mingzhu in surprise, not expecting such a turn of events.

In other words, Bai Yifei, who taught Lady Mingzhu the Gu technique, did not possess this physique, and he was unable to refine many Gu.

Feeling Jiang Chuan's curiosity.

Perhaps because Jiang Chuan had used illusion magic on her and discovered many secrets from her, Madam Mingzhu knew that even if she wanted to hide them, she couldn't, as Jiang Chuan had a way of knowing those things.

She might as well just tell Jiang Chuan the truth directly.
