While Xia Qianqian was deep in thought, her eyes fell on a few banknotes with larger denominations on the ground.

She picked up the banknote with her hand, looked at it for a few times, and then put it to her nose and sniffed it.

A special smell filled the tip of her nose, making her feel dazed, and then she smiled.

She waved the banknote in front of the two barbarians and said happily: "Is this a reward from your master behind the scenes?"

She clicked her tongue and praised: "The smell on this is so fresh!"

As she spoke, she handed the banknote to Cao Ran and suggested: "Master Cao, this banknote has the aura of the previous master on it."

Cao Ran waved his hand, and outside Juwang Tower, several soldiers came in leading several tracking dogs.

The bank note was placed in front of the dog's nose. Several tracking dogs sniffed randomly, then turned their heads and headed towards the second floor.

Several soldiers followed closely and followed the tracking dogs to the door of a private room.

The door was suddenly kicked open. At the table in front of the window of the private room, a man in a dark purple brocade robe looked horrified when he saw the people who broke in.

Several tracking dogs rushed forward and kept barking at him.

Jiang Chengyun was drunk and blinded, and he glared angrily, "What are you doing? Get out!"

Who among the soldiers would listen to him? They swarmed up and cut his hands behind his back.

Jiang Chengyun was mostly drunk.

"Master Cao, what do you mean?" He asked, looking at Cao Ran who was following behind.

Cao Ran said coldly, "Jiang Chengyun, you colluded with the barbarians and deliberately murdered other people's lives. Follow me and return to the General's Mansion!"

"Master Cao, I'm here for a drink, and I have absolutely nothing to do with the murder."

"If you had nothing to do with the murder, why did the banknotes carried by the poisoned Nanman have your breath?"

"False accusation! It's just a false accusation."

Jiang Chengyun looked at Ji Zimo behind Cao Ran and said angrily: "Master Cao, you may not know that the real master behind the Juwang Tower is actually Mo Yu."

"Hu Tang was poisoned in Juwanglou. The person who poisoned was their cook. Even those Nanman people were captured in his restaurant. Here, the biggest suspect is Mo Yu, not Me."

Jiang Chengyun was not convinced and argued with reason: "Mo Yu's whereabouts are uncertain and his family is unknown. Please investigate his details thoroughly."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Xia Qianqian again, and he taunted: "Everyone in Jiang City knows that I, Jiang Chengyun, once wanted to take Xia Qianqian as my concubine, but unfortunately I failed and ended up in prison instead."

He deliberately guided everyone and said: "Now, I finally know the reason."

"It turns out that Xia Qianqian is Mo Yu's woman."

"As for that Hu Tang, no one knows that he is devoted to Xia Qianqian and chases her back and forth. Do you think Mr. Mo will tolerate it if he sees it in his eyes?"

"He used the guise of a barbarian to kill Hu Tang and put the blame on me. This is not unjustifiable."

As soon as Jiang Chengyun said these words, everyone in the lobby started talking, and the looks in their eyes towards Xia Qianqian and Ji Zimo changed.

Xia Qianqian was thin-skinned and her face suddenly turned red.

After a mental battle, she took out a Shuxin Ning Dan Pill from her Ruyi bracelet, crushed it in her hand, then stepped forward, confronted Jiang Chengyun and said, "Young Master Jiang is so good at imagining."

The girl's unique scent of Shuxin Ningdan Pills can disturb people's minds and make them unable to distinguish between reality and dreams for those who have taken Psychedelic Powder for a long time.

She said: "Today, Mr. Jiang's poisoning was an impromptu idea, so it was full of loopholes."

"When I first entered the gate of Juwang Tower, you happened to see me on the second floor. So, you wanted to test the poison you just bought from the barbarians, and your eyes fell on Hu Tang in the private room."

"You wanted to poison him, but you didn't want to do it yourself, so you gave the poison to the cook who was passing by with wine."

That cook is not only the singer of your Qiuyue Boat, but also the go-between between you and the barbarians.

Xia Qianqian's face was cold and she said confidently: "So, after she is exposed, she would rather die than recruit you."

"But..." Xia Qianqian smiled, "Everything you say and do is clearly seen and heard by Hu Tang. What else can you say to defend yourself?"

As soon as she said this, Jiang Chengyun, under the influence of alcohol and aromatherapy, blurted out: "Nonsense! How can Hu Tang hear me clearly when he is drunk?"

"Besides, the snake venom he was poisoned has no solution in the world and he will definitely die. He told you the truth? Xia Qianqian, are you just dreaming?"

The words that were on my mind came out of my mouth.

In the lobby, everyone was stunned. When Jiang Chengyun realized what he was doing, his expression changed drastically.

Xia Qianqian scoffed coldly and asked: "We have never said from beginning to end that what Hu Tang was poisoned by was snake venom. How did you know?"

Jiang Chengyun suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and told the truth.

"I...I'm just...just guessing...the southern barbarian side is a grassland, and there are many venomous snakes and insects..."

He still wants to quibble.

But his sophistry was too pale.

Cao Ran raised his hand and ordered: "Take them all back and interrogate them carefully!"

"Master Junjun, listen to me, I am really..."

A group of soldiers stepped forward, escorted Jiang Chengyun from the private room, and headed towards the General's Mansion with great fanfare.

In Juwang Building, the waiter cleaned up the barrels at the corner of the stairs and opened the windows for ventilation.

Shopkeeper Qiao stood at the entrance of the stairs, bowed his hands in front of everyone, and said, "Dear guests, what happened today is a vicious person who committed crimes wantonly. It disturbed everyone's interest in drinking and listening to books. This can be regarded as poor management of our Juwang Building."

"We Mr. Mo said that we, Juwanglou, will pay for today's drinks. Before you leave, if you are willing, the man can give you a pot of special brewed wine, and the woman can give you a cup of special fragrant milk tea. Please don't hesitate to show your displeasure."<

/p>

Most of the people in the lobby are regular visitors to Juwanglou.

Hearing that Shopkeeper Qiao was doing things like this, they all nodded with satisfaction. Psychologically, they were comforted.

This group of people was about to leave, but unexpectedly, some people who usually liked to listen to gossip and chatter came in a hurry after hearing the news. They stopped these people and inquired about what happened.

So, this group of people sat down again, and while eating and drinking, they elaborated on what had just happened.

As a result, the business of Juwanglou today became more and more prosperous because of a tragedy.

Hu Chenkun had already rushed into the house to check on Hu Tang.

Geng Zhong approached Xia Qianqian and asked shamelessly: "Girl, how did you know that the cook was the one who painted the boat in Qiuyue, and why did her hand turn blue when she put it in the bucket of dirt?"

Xia Qianqian smiled and replied: "There are food residues in the dirt, which contain starch. When the starch encounters water with iodine added later, the fingers will turn blue and black. I made an excuse to let them touch the dirt.
