"Don't try to fool me with these things. Who knows if you might plant something intentionally to frame me! Ming Pin is dead; you're certainly looking for someone to take the blame. Are you trying to drag me into this by pretending to make a gesture like this?"
Despite her panic, He Changzai quickly threw the matter back.
Even if the seductive powder was found, she could still claim it was intentionally planted by Lin Xingzhi.
Her unwillingness to relent perplexed Lin Xingzhi.
As the two of them remained at an impasse, Dong Yuzhong arrived.
He hurried in, clearly carrying an imperial command from the Emperor.
As expected, after entering and greeting He Changzai, he handed the Imperial Gold Medal to Lin Xingzhi.
"General Lin, this item is bestowed by the Emperor. During the investigation, you may search anyone's courtyard without obstruction in both the traveling palace and the Imperial Palace."
Upon hearing this, He Changzai's expression turned grim.
