After an hour, Su Li finally checked the death of Ma Ling and the other four people.
"Lord Chen, the cause of death of Ma Ling and the other four people is the same. They were all poisoned. I may need to go back to the Affiliated School to do a test. But one thing is clear. The poison in their bodies is different from that of the guests in the restaurant. It is a more sophisticated mixed poison. "
"A mixed poison different from that of the guests in the restaurant?"
Chen Gong raised his eyebrows slightly. Finally, he heard a key point that was different from what the coroner said.
"Yes." Su Li took off her gloves and came to Chen Gong. She said carefully, "When I helped others to suppress the poison in the restaurant that day, I found that the poison was fierce but not immediately fatal. But Ma Ling and the other four people were poisoned by the Throat Sealing Poison. There was no time to rescue them."
"That is to say … someone wanted them to die immediately. Dead people tell no tales …"
Chen Gong's eyes flickered. What was the reason that Ma Ling and the other four people were killed immediately without saying a word? Ma Ling was not a small figure. He was the only son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If he was not famous and adhered to the rules, Ma Weiming would have come to the Ministry of Penalty and asked him to punish the Su Family immediately.
However, Chen Gong heard that Ma Weiming had told the matter to the emperor. If he didn't hurry to find out the truth, Su Li would be in danger …
People thought that the emperor and the royal preceptor were as close as father and son. But only Chen Gong knew that the relationship between the emperor and the royal preceptor was not harmonious. On the contrary, the emperor was only afraid of Qi Xianqing.
Otherwise, how could Qi Xianqing not stay in Yunjing? He clearly knew that if he appeared, the emperor would be stimulated. But why did he frequently send disciples to Yunjing?
This was the only thing he was confused about.
"Lord Chen?"
Su Li called him. Chen Gong came to his sense and got rid of distractions. He said, "In this case, I will accompany you to the Affiliated School. However, if the behind-the-scenes manipulator is really prepared, I am afraid that the Affiliated School … "
"Lord Chen, don't worry. The Affiliated School will be fine. But my current identity … "
Su Li glanced at her nondescript clothes helplessly.
A rare smile appeared on Chen Gong's face. He took out a good-quality disguise pill and said, "You can be my assistant for the time being and help me solve the case."
Su Li was surprised. The grade of disguise elixir given by Chen Gong was not low. At least, it could hide from the eyes of warriors below the inborn realm. The value of this elixir was very high.
"Lord Chen, there's no need for that." Su Li ran the secret method, and her face changed into another person. "My master taught me the secret method of disguise, and now it comes in handy."
This time, it was Chen Gong's turn to be stunned.
Qi Xianqing must have taught her that the secret method of disguise could not be easily shown to others. Did she trust him so much?
For a moment, Chen Gong's thoughts became more complicated.
…
When Ling Li came back, Ling Mo saw that there was no one behind him, so he felt strange. Could it be that even the master couldn't enter the Ministry of Penalty now?
"Young Master …"
Before Ling Mo asked, Ling Li waved his hand and interrupted him. He changed his clothes and sat back in the wheelchair. He rubbed his chin and said strangely, "Ling Mo, what do you think can move Chen Gong's heart?"
Ling Mo was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why the master suddenly asked this, but he still replied, "Probably not. Do you remember that Chen Gong's uncle committed a crime a few years ago? Chen Gong was cold-hearted and didn't show any mercy. He tortured Chen Gong to death and confessed. After this incident, Chen Gong truly became a loner. All of his relatives refused to contact him even if they died. Even family affection couldn't move him. Is there anything else that can surpass family affection? "
"What you said is reasonable, so it is more strange."
Ling Li rubbed his lips with his fingers and said, "Why did Chen Gong only treat Su Li differently and even violate his own principles to rescue her from the dungeon?"
Hearing this, Ling Mo and Ling Xian were both shocked.
If Ling Li didn't say it himself, they even thought that someone was joking.
Ling Xian's eyes flashed with wisdom and she said softly, "Young Master, Chen Gong's past has always been vague. No one knows what he experienced in the past to become like this. Maybe he doesn't want to mention it. But even the Tianya House can't find it. It is unreasonable. It is very likely that Su Li really has a secret relationship with Chen Gong! Su Li seems to have a clean background, but all kinds of signs show that her background is not simple. Young Master, when you contact with her, you should be careful. "
Ling Li frowned and a light flashed in his eyes. He ordered in a low voice, "Use the spies of the Ministry of Penalty to investigate all the cases related to the Chen Palace. Since the Supreme Judiciary can't be found, the Ministry of Penalty is his territory. He should leave some clues."
Ling Xian was shocked and said repeatedly, "Young Master! It is not easy to cultivate spies. Once exposed, it is easy to alert the enemy. Just for Chen Gong, it is really … "
"Ling Xian!"
Ling Mo suddenly interrupted her with a cold voice.
Ling Xian's face changed slightly and her heart thumped. She immediately looked up and saw a frosty face. She felt more bitter in her heart.
She didn't realize it and violated the taboo of the Young Master.
"Xian, how many years have you been with me?"
Ling Li said lightly, which made Ling Xian panic. She bowed her head and said obediently, "Young Master, you picked me up when you were seven years old. It has been ten years."
"Ten years. Haven't you learned the rules of staying with me?"
Ling Xian's eyes were full of tears when she heard Ling Li's increasingly severe tone. She said aggrievedly, "I know I am wrong. I am also worried about you. I accidentally … Please punish me, Young Master."
Ling Li looked indifferent. He closed his eyes and waved his hand, "The punishment is the same as before. Go out."
Ling Xian was slightly happy and immediately went out of the study. As long as she could get the forgiveness of the Young Master, she was willing to run a thousand or ten thousand laps, let alone a hundred laps.
Except for Ling Li, there was only Ling Mo in the room.
Ling Mo glanced at Ling Xian who was running crazily on the martial arts field. He couldn't help but be speechless. He turned back and said, "Young Master, I am afraid that Ling Xian …"
Ling Li looked a little annoyed. Ling Mo immediately swallowed the second half of the sentence.
Ling Li closed the file and a trace of tiredness flashed through his eyebrows. He said, "Why did she do that? The Ling Mansion is a dangerous place. Second Brother and I both know it. We won't let any woman suffer after entering the Ling Mansion. Even if you … "
"Young Master!"
Ling Mo stood straight and his eyes were as firm as a rock. He said, "I am the sword in the hand of the Young Master. Where I am, the sword is!"
If the man died, the sword would die!
The second half of the sentence sounded in his heart. His life was given by the Young Master. If the Young Master died, he would definitely follow the Young Master without any hesitation.
Seeing Ling Mo like this, Ling Li was even more worried. All of them were like this.
If they were all like Su Li, avoiding him as if he was a plague, he would worry a lot less.
No!
That was not good!
When he thought of Su Li's face, which was full of smiles to everyone but him, he couldn't help but hate her. Did he owe her in his previous life?
Even if he was a playboy, his appearance was not ugly. His family was a super rich and powerful family in Yunjing. Why did she hate him so much?
It was just a kiss forced by the situation. Did she have to slap him so hard?
Looking at the uncertain expression of the Young Master, Ling Mo consciously retreated and closed the door. It was better to stay away from the Young Master in this state.
…
In the Affiliated School of the National Academy.
Without Su Li, the Affiliated School was not as lively as imagined. Ma Ling was also the top playboy in Yunjing. Now he suddenly died. Everyone was in danger. Many Young Masters hid at home and didn't dare to go out.
Chen Gong pushed the door and walked in with Su Li. He saw a fat man sitting in the school and staring blankly at the teacher's desk.
Chen Gong didn't expect that someone dared to stay here. He couldn't help but be stunned. Then he was more surprised when he saw the face of the latter.
The First Master of the Tang Family, Tang Lei, was known to be weak. He was one of the three useless people in Yunjing. It seemed that he was not as timid and weak as the rumor said.
Su Li was surprised when she saw him.
Today, Tang Lei was completely different from the liveliness on the first day. There were two dark eye sockets on his round face. He exuded the lethargy of an old man.
He was dying!
When Chen Gong approached, he also noticed that Tang Lei was in a bad state. He immediately became serious.
Tang Lei heard the noise and looked at the door. When he saw that it was Chen Gong, his joy immediately turned into panic. He didn't expect that he waited here for three days. Instead of Su Li, the most terrible person in Yunjing City came!
"Lord Chen, I'm Tang Tang Tang …" Tang Lei stammered for a long time, but he didn't say his name. He was so anxious that he almost cried, "I, I … I'm going!"
Then, he was about to rush past Chen Gong. But Chen Gong grabbed his back collar and said sternly, "Stop! You can't go anywhere today. "
"Ah?!"
Tang Lei was very flustered. When he thought of the inhumane means of Chen Gong in the rumor, he was so scared that he almost cried.
Chen Gong shook his head again and again. The rumor was true. No wonder that person called him "a rotten wall that can't hold up the mud".
He slowed down and asked, "I won't catch you. What are you doing here? Tell me the truth. "
Tang Lei was caught by Chen Gong, but he couldn't escape. He could only accept his fate and said obediently, "I come here because … to find Lecturer Su. I want to ask her if there is any more of the medicine she gave me. "
What?
Tang Lei sighed and said weakly, "The medicine that Lecturer Su gave me made me suffer a lot, but it's not a big deal. But after a while, I felt heavier. Especially recently, I could sleep very well. But my eye sockets were dark. It seemed that I didn't sleep at all. I was so scared. After thinking about it, I could only come here to find Lecturer Su. "
Chen Gong was slightly moved. He turned to look at Su Li beside him, but Su Li looked more serious than him. She said, "What unusual things have you eaten recently? Or … where have you been? "
Tang Lei was extremely gentle. Although Su Li dressed like a jailer, he didn't feel insulted when she asked him. Instead, he thought about it seriously and murmured, "I haven't been anywhere. Brother Li has been fascinated by Lecturer Su recently. He always said that he would study at home to increase his talent. I have no place to go, so I stay at home. But I seem to eat more than before … "
Su Li's eyes flashed. She grabbed Tang Lei's fat wrist. A green light that couldn't be detected by people of the inborn realm flowed into Tang Lei's body along the tendons and vessels.
"Ouch!!"
Tang Lei immediately squatted down holding his belly and farted several times. Ignoring Chen Gong, he immediately ran to the latrine pit. Chen Gong frowned and waved his hand to disperse the stench. It was not like … but a rotten smell of a corpse.
"Su Li, what's wrong with him? What did you give him before? "
Su Li didn't hide it. She told Chen Gong what she found when she met Tang Lei for the first time. Chen Gong frowned. In this way, someone wanted to kill Tang Lei secretly. But Su Li's means seemed to alarm him, so he accelerated the speed of killing Tang Lei.
