Chapter 549 Merle is Dead
Zhou Xun from Tingwei's Mansion and Li Shilang, who was in charge of the criminal department at Shangshutai, went to Dali Temple. Knowing the importance of the matter, they decided to have a preliminary trial of the case in Dali Temple after seeing the ceremony.

Cai Siqing then said to Zhu Li: "Trouble Zhu Yingshou, let your people bring that Merle up!"

But after waiting for a while, no one came, and he felt ominous when he didn't understand. At this time, someone hurriedly came to whisper something to Zhu Li. Zhu Li's face changed greatly. Cai Liang asked hurriedly, "Zhu Yingshou , what happened?"

Zhu Li said with a dark face, "Meile is dead!"

"what happened?"

After everyone was shocked, Zhou Tingwei looked at Cai Siqing, "Lord Cai, what's going on?"

Cai Liang looked aggrieved, "I don't know that, apart from borrowing a room, Dali Temple has never touched this Merle from the beginning to the end, and it's all controlled by Zhu Yingshou!"

Everyone looked at Zhu Li again, and Zhu Li called Qu directly, "You don't think I was the one who guarded me and killed Merle, do you?"

At this time, Li Zemin, who was hiding aside, finally spoke, "My lords, this is not the time to argue about these things. The lower officials think that we should first ask you to find out the cause of Merle's death, and everyone who has been in and out of Dali Temple today should do so." For interrogation, I have to trouble Cai Siqing to inform the people below."

This happened in Dali Temple, no matter what, they couldn't get rid of Dali Temple until the matter was cleared up. Even if Cai Liang was not happy, he knew that he could only cooperate.

Mei Le is Zhu Li's subordinate, so naturally he can't get away, but Zhou Tingwei and Li Shilang are a little dissatisfied, "I and Li Shilang have only just arrived, why do we have to interrogate?"

"Where is the interrogation of your two adults? This is to ask you two to help sit in the town!" Li Min has been working for so long in the position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, who is not a big official, but things are messy and messy like twine. , has long learned how to deal with superiors and subordinates, and knowing that they are dissatisfied, he quickly explained with a smile, "It is natural for the subordinates to run errands for this matter today, but it is inconvenient for Master Cai and Zhu Yingshou now, you two are here for Mei Le Come here, as the saying goes, don’t bother the two masters with one thing, I have to trouble you two to help take care of one or two.”

Li Min said, looking at Mu as if asking for help, and Mu Wuxin comprehended and persuaded him: "Master Li is right, if you have no objections, I, the Qingwei Division, will be in charge of the direction of Dali Temple for the time being." , when the case of Mei Le is found out or the Shangshutai in the palace has a more appropriate method, all adults will be able to return home safely."

These words were soft but hard, and Li Min was sweating profusely and admired, he was worthy of being His Majesty's man, although he came from a humble background, he did not show any timidity.

Several adults took a fixed look at Mu Wu, and then looked at each other. They all saw the surprise and absurdity hidden in each other's eyes, and then shook their heads and smiled helplessly. Master Cai's meal is ready."

Cai Liang also smiled boldly, "Come, come, I will make tea for the three adults myself!"

"Okay, then I'm very lucky, I've heard that Master Cai is a master at cooking tea!"

Speaking of the four of them sitting around the fire, Cai Liang asked someone to prepare the chessboard again, and the few of them seemed friendly in an instant, while Mu Wu and Li Min, who were obviously neglected, could only leave in a resentment.

When the two of them left the room, Mu Wuhan glanced back, and looked at Li Minze with some doubts, "Lord Li, I am a little puzzled why these adults are so disgusted. Merle died for no reason. Check it out, and only after the investigation is clear can they be cleared!"

Li Min shook his head and sighed, "Boss Mu, you should know that Merle's case is a hot potato. No matter what the truth is, there may not be a good result!"

"Why?" Mu Wu was still puzzled.

Li Min slapped his forehead, and suddenly remembered why he came out today, "Boss Mu, I have something to tell you today, that's right, my people heard another rumor today."

Mu Wu suddenly realized, "Maybe Merle's death is also related to them!"

"Maybe, I can guarantee that this matter must have something to do with them!" Li Min's tone must be complicated.

"Dali Temple is not an ordinary yamen, and there is still that person living there. It seems that there are no heavy guards on the surface, but there are many people hiding in the dark. This person dares to do something here, he is a ruthless hand!" Mu Wuxiang spoke with He is different, he knows a thing or two about how many mysteries are hidden in Dali Temple.

"The most capable person in Dali Temple is Cai Hui," Mu Wu guessed.

Li Min shook his head, "No, Cai Liang has old friends with that person, but he is upright and the most principled. If he wants to complain about that person, he will go to Xianyang Palace to talk to His Majesty in person instead of secretly Do these nasty things!"

"Lord Li knows Cai Siqing quite well." Mu Wu said with curiosity, but Li Min smiled, "I have had some contacts in the past few years, and I know a little bit."

The two didn't dare to chat for a long time, so they parted outside the gate of Dali Temple, and went about their own work. Today is destined to be another sleepless night.

After the two of them left, Zhu Li looked outside the door, then at the calm elders, and suddenly realized, "The two of them also came in with us today, why didn't they stay?"

"Master Mu is someone in His Majesty's secret channel. Although his status is not on the table, who dares to keep him?" Li Shilang picked up a white piece and landed on the star position with a 'slap', and smiled back at him.

"As for that Mr. Li, he entered the mansion alone today, and he has not left since entering this room, so there is no suspicion." Cai Liang scooped him a cup of tea and explained with a smile, "And he stayed, who Work? Who will investigate Merle's case?"

Fortunately, Wu Zuo was not far away, and arrived in less than half an hour. After careful inspection, Wu Zuo told Li Minze, "This person should have died of poisoning."

"What kind of poison might it be? He was in a coma before he came in. Could it be that he was poisoned at that time, and the poison came out after he came in?"

Zhou Shangshu rushed to ask.

Wu shook his head embarrassingly, "I haven't seen this poison before? If you want to distinguish the poison, you have to find another expert in poison!"

"Where can I find this poisonous person right now? People in the Tai Hospital often deal with these medicinal herbs, maybe they can know?" Li Min asked anxiously.

"If someone from the imperial hospital is good at poison, how dare the imperial physician let him in?" Li Shilang sneered.

Li Min hadn't come up with a solution yet, Zhou Shangshu interjected again: "Master Li, how is the investigation of these people here?"

Li Min didn't answer yet, Li Shilang also interjected and asked, "Have you and the people brought by me been to the house where Merle is? If you don't have me, you have to leave. If it drags on, it will be dark." !"

"Look at what the two adults said, the two of you are working in the town here, how can I stop the two of you from going back to the mansion? It's hard to find out what happened today. Send someone to take the two of you back home!" Li Min said hastily.

"No need, Mr. Li is busy too, we can just go back by ourselves!"

After Zhou Shangshu and Li Shilang left, Li Min looked at Cai Liang embarrassingly, but Cai Liang patted him on the shoulder and said gently: "Your Majesty Li, don't worry, this is Dali Temple, and I am the Minister of Dali Temple. Don't go anywhere until this case is over!"

He pointed at the servant next to him, "Look, I have all the quilts ready!"
