Xinye looked shocked, "Did the coroner say I sent him?"
"Not exactly, Jiang Yichun and I went quietly, and at the time we had to hide, we saw him tampering with the body. The situation was unclear, so I didn't directly approach him," Bai Ruozhu replied.
"It wasn't arranged by Lord Luzhi. He didn't mention it to me, and he doesn't even know I've secretly kept a Shadow Ninja. Given his nature, even if our relationship is close, he'd hand me over to General Chisong for punishment at most, or plead for leniency for me," Xinye said.
Bai Ruozhu couldn't figure it out. If it wasn't Xinye's people or Luzhi's, then who was secretly helping Xinye?
"Isn't there anyone secretly helping you?" Bai Ruozhu asked, "Someone skilled with poisons or a prestigious family?"
Xinye shook his head, "My family is in decline, as you can see."
Bai Ruozhu mused silently. Clearly, Xinye didn't know the situation, and no amount of questioning would yield anything helpful.
