Xie Qiao looked at the Crown Prince and asked again.

Zhao Xuanjing nodded slightly. “He’s now the provincial governor of Yuanzhou.”

“So the influence of ghouls varies from person to person. Some people are born with a tough character. Even if they stay there for a night, this ghoul can’t do anything to him. Didn’t you say that one of Zhao Xuzhi’s subordinates even cut himself? I think that person’s character is very weak and his mind is unstable. He was affected by the shock and the dark energy, so he cut himself,” Xie Qiao said.

It was a better explanation.

After all, they could not see the ghoul.

If Xie Qiao guessed correctly, the ghoul must have held that person’s hand to cut him with the knife.

When Li Qingyu and the others heard that, they were glad that they did not stay at the temple.

Xie Pinggang did not mind. All these years, he had never seen anything strange, so… he guessed that he should be a person with a tough character.

At that moment, Zhao Xuzhi was lying on the bed.

The teeth marks on the back of his neck were obvious, and the color was really terrifying.

He had already taken the antidote and cut the wound to draw blood a few times. He was fine now, but he did not have the strength to stand up.

He had not expected that he would have such a bad start!

The Crown Prince was definitely laughing at him!

“First Young Master, are we still investigating this case?” His subordinate asked.

The people who had come with him were still in fear. Even though they had not seen anything evil in the temple, the atmosphere was really scary. How would they dare to go there again?

They did not even dare to think about it.

Zhao Xuzhi’s expression was ugly. “Go where? Where else can I go now?!”

He now suspected that it was the Crown Prince who released the poisonous snakes in the temple!

The Crown Prince was really vicious. He knew that he had to investigate this case, but he deliberately stopped him. In fact, he had released so many snakes there that almost lost his life!

Unfortunately, he had no evidence!

“Then… are we going back?” The subordinate wanted to cry, but he had no tears. He quickly asked again, carefully, afraid that he would make this man unhappy.

Zhao Xuzhi felt unwell and indeed wanted to go back to the capital to look for the imperial physician.

However, he was unwilling to accept it.

The Crown Prince, Xie Pinggang, and the others were all here. If he left, it would be as if he had run away in a sorry state. He would really lose his dignity.

“Let’s wait a little longer.” Zhao Xuzhi insisted.

His subordinate was helpless and could only agree.

This was not the end. Zhao Xuzhi thought for a while and decided to get someone to go to the inn where the Crown Prince was staying. He booked a few rooms and moved them over there.

He was, after all, the son of the imperial family. No matter how much the Crown Prince disliked him, he could not chase him away, right? Otherwise, if word got back to the capital, the imperial family would be the first to be complaining.

Even if he could not solve the case, the Crown Prince might not be able to!

…

At that moment, in the Crown Prince’s room, the old steward of the Pang family took the initiative to look for him.

“I heard that you’re here to investigate the fire murder case. This humble one… knew some things. I don’t know if it will help you,” the old man said respectfully.

It was said that he was a big shot.

Even Elder Li, who had gone home to offer sacrifices to his ancestors, was respectful to this person. His status must be unattainable.

Zhao Xuanjing sat leisurely and glanced at the old man. “Why did you only tell me today?”

It was not a secret that he was here to investigate the case. The old man had heard about it when he was at the Pang family’s grave.

If he really wanted to help, he would not have waited until now.

“This humble one has a favor to ask!” The old man knelt on the ground with a perturbed expression, “I’m old and have no children. I only have the Young Lady by my side. She’s the master, and she’s still young. I have not been well these two years and I don’t know when I will leave her….”
