Having probably received the order, Li Yi went in without any hindrance.

The Ministry of Rites and Yuan Wailang are jointly responsible for the Ministry of Punishment and Dongwei.

At this moment, the commanders of Dongwei staying at the scene are two Qianhu, one of whom is Yin Ding.

Li Yi always wanted to find an opportunity to get in touch, but it was too abrupt to stick to him directly.

This case did provide him with convenient conditions.

In terms of official position, Li Yiyuan was higher than Dongwei Qianhu, and he was extremely favored by the emperor. Therefore, when everyone saw him, even though they felt a little contempt in their hearts, they still bowed respectfully on their faces.

"Can you let the widower pass the test?"

"Preliminary judgment is that he took arsenic." Yin Ding replied to Li Yi.

Arsenic? Li Yi raised his eyebrows. That thing is extremely painful. Is this suicide or murder?

Li Yi took a step forward and took a look at the body of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette. The symptoms of poisoning were obvious, so there was no doubt about it.

Then Li Yi went to the study of Wai Lang, the official of the Ministry of Etiquette, and found the handwriting he usually wrote. He compared it with the letters he left behind and found that they were exactly the same.

He gave the letter to Yin Ding, and Li Yi asked him to take it to a specialist to verify the authenticity.

He arrived in a hurry, and Li Yi didn't bring anyone from the Punishment Department with him, so he had to trouble Dongwei.

The actual reason is that Li Yi is in the Ministry of Justice and has no confidants. Since this matter cannot be leaked, he should be the polished commander first.

If rumors start to spread, at least the blame will not be thrown at him.

"Where did the arsenic that the minister of rites took, the foreign minister, come from?"

"Checking."

"Where was the arsenic dropped and was it taken by Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites?"

"It was detected in the tea."

"The boy serving tea, have you checked carefully?"

Yin Ding nodded, "I said the tea I brewed is the same as usual, and no one else took over. Judging from its shape, it doesn't look like I'm telling a lie."

Li Yi raised his eyes and said, "If you take arsenic, you will definitely struggle for a while, but no one will hear anything outside?"

"At that time, there was only Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, inside and outside the house. It was later when the boy serving tea knocked on the door and saw that there was no movement inside, that I discovered that Yuan Wai Lang was dead."

"Did you find anything from the attendant of the Minister of Rites, Wailang?"

"According to him, after Yuan Wai-lang went to Qingquan Teahouse, his whole body changed. He looked very frightened."

"Who did he meet at Qingquan Tea House?"

"The attendants don't know, we are investigating." Whatever Li Yi asked, Yin Ding answered.

"Is the situation true for the scholars mentioned in the suicide note of the Minister of Rites, Wai Lang?"

"Still checking."

The time is too short, and the investigation has just begun, so it is difficult to make substantial progress.

After basically understanding the situation, Li Yi left the house of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites.

"I don't know what the emperor was thinking, but he actually asked him to take charge of this matter." After Li Yi left, another Dongwei Qianhu looked at the direction he left and said to Yin Ding.

"Feng Yi, don't be affected by the rumors. Don't you think there is something good about this person?"

"What he just asked is extremely relevant to the case and very well organized."

"Isn't this the most basic part of investigating the case?" Qianhu, who was called Feng Yi, said casually.

"For us, yes, but don't forget, he, the Minister of Justice, is not someone who has been trained step by step."

"You and I both know that in the Criminal Department, he really took over very few things."

"I have absolutely no experience in this area."

"What does it mean?" Yin Ding looked at Feng Yi.

Feng Yi condensed his expression, "Either he hid it before, or he is extremely talented and intelligent."

"Which way do you lean?"

"The latter." Feng Yi spoke slowly. He was not stupid. If Si Jian was favored by the emperor and even placed in the position of Minister of Justice, his background and origins would be clearly investigated.

"We don't need to hold him back, but since the emperor has asked him to take charge of the punishment department, we should cooperate." Yin Ding has a calm personality and has his own rules for acting. Although he obeys the emperor's orders, he is relatively normal.

.

He is a little more indifferent than ordinary people, but his humanity is still there.

This is also the reason why Li Yihui chose him to be close to him among all the people in Dongwei.

After leaving the house of Wai Lang, the Minister of Rites, Li Yi went to Weng Mansion.

Weng Jing definitely sees this kind of major case more thoroughly than he does.

"The fraud in the scientific examination is probably true, but it is not necessarily the case that the official of the Ministry of Etiquette took poison because he was afraid of the crime." Weng Jing stared.

"Don't be impatient, pay attention to what's going on in all directions."

"Be careful, don't become a pawn in the hands of others."

"The Ministry of Rites, the Left Prime Minister, and the Right Prime Minister all have disciples. Whether it is related to them or someone is deliberately trying to get involved is particularly critical."

Weng Jing was deep in thought and looked at Li Yi for a moment, "This case is extremely difficult. It's no wonder that the emperor will make you responsible."

"Master Weng, you mean, but I am more capable of taking on big responsibilities than others?" Li Yi bowed his head shyly.

Weng Jing's face was twitching. It's not yet known whether he can take on a big responsibility, but he will definitely not waste his "talent" if he takes on the responsibility.

After explaining a few more words, Weng Jing waved his hand to Li Yi's house.

At this time, it was already dark. Li Yi, who got on the carriage, pouted and complained. The old man was really stupid. At this point, he didn't even leave him a meal!

Can he live in a pauper's house or what?

"Madam, are you awake?" After returning to the house, Li Yi asked the maid he met while walking inside.

"Uncle, Miss woke up an hour ago."

"I was worried that you hadn't come back yet, so you asked me to come and see you again." The maid replied with a smile.

Li Yi chuckled lightly, saying that he didn't bump into her. He strode past the maid and walked towards the courtyard.

Yun Niang had just coaxed Wei Qi to have a meal, and looked at the door from time to time.

What did the emperor say when he summoned Li Yi? After leaving the palace, he went to several places, but he still hasn't come back yet.

"Qier, let's play by ourselves first. I'll go out and wash you up later."

Yun Niang knelt down and told Wei Qi that she planned to go to the door to have a look.

As soon as he left the house, he saw Li Yi walking towards him.

Yun Niang's heart suddenly relaxed, she raised her lips and smiled, "Have you had dinner?"

"How can I do that? I have to come back to accompany my wife." Li Yi stepped forward and held Yun Niang's delicate hand, saying softly.

"You always say nice things, but no one wants to keep you?"

"It hurts my heart." Li Yi scratched Yun Niang's nose, "The old man is very stingy and didn't even mention it. However, I am more willing to come back and eat with my wife."

"It's beautiful and delicious." Li Yi leaned close to Yun Niang's ear and said with a smile.

"Go to the side room for a meeting, and I'll have the food delivered there."

"Let Qi'er wash up, and I'll go have dinner with you." After straightening Li Yi's clothes, Yun Niang raised her eyes and said with a smile.

"good."

Li Yi shook Yun Niang's hand and turned around to go to the side room.

The food was prepared early in the morning, and soon the maid brought it over.

After washing Wei Qi and asking the maid to take care of her, Yun Niang went to the side room.
