Chapter 215: Monopolize (first update)

On hearing that Rui'an King took over the case, Fen Ling pondered for a moment and quickly left the Dali Temple.

After spending two days there, he realized the depth of intrigue within the court. The entire Dali Temple was as leaky as a sieve. He wondered how the Minster of Dali Temple managed to remain in his position without being ousted by various factions.

He could not even figure out who poisoned the old madam and when.

Bitterly disheartened, he simply left without uttering a second word.
