Rewind the clock to a few days ago.

When Jiang Ning left the Prime Minister's Mansion and came to the Imperial History Mansion, which had now been banned, what he saw was a blank space.

According to Zuo Du Yushi's statement of his crime in the Inspectorate, there should have been a corpse in his wife's boudoir.

However, because the time has dragged on for a long time, the body has been collected and buried in time at the request of his Li Yanxi's father-in-law.

In other words, even if Jiang Ning wants to find some clues on the corpse, it will not be so easy, unless he can figure out where Li Yanxi's wife is buried, and go there to pull out the grave and open the coffin for autopsy.

However, after the corpse was buried in the ground, it had taken such a long time, it could not have been decomposed, although his cultivation was superb, but after all, he was not a professional worker, if he wanted to figure out the techniques, he had to use some of the strength that Jiang Ning's body originally had, but according to the current situation, it was impossible to do it.

Therefore, he had to be patient and carefully investigate in the Imperial Mansion.

Fortunately, although Li Yanxi's health is not very good, his eyesight is extremely good, and with the support of Jiang Ning's acquired cultivation, his eyesight has reached a point that is rare in this environmental world.

After all, he still found some flaws.

Because, in the dark, that power of time also seemed to be related to Jiang Ning's primordial spirit, so that when he looked at Li Yanxi's wife's boudoir, in a trance, time seemed to have gone backwards.

It's a pity that the backtracking time is not long enough, and the light and shadow that Jiang Ning saw was just a woman's corpse, and he couldn't see what happened when she was alive.

"It seems that my attainment in the power of time is still far behind!" Jiang Ning sighed helplessly.

Fortunately, being able to see the corpse is also a reward.

The woman was lying on the ground, with a three-foot white silk hanging on the beam, and she was already dead of anger.

Just when Jiang Ning wanted to take a closer look, he suddenly realized that when the time had just gone back, there was a light and shadow flashing behind him, which seemed to be the back of a person leaving this room in a hurry, and it seemed that it was just a dog and a cat passing by behind the door.

What exactly was that shadow, Jiang Ning was not able to see it clearly, and when he wanted to use the power of time to look at it again, he failed inexplicably.

He had no choice but to turn his attention back to the woman's corpse.

There are crimson strangulation marks on the neck, and in addition to this, there are some white marks.

At first, Jiang Ning didn't realize what it was, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, Jiang Ning suddenly understood.

If a person hangs herself and is strangled by Bai Aya, then there should be a thin and deep blood-colored trace on her neck, if the strangulation time is very long, the blood of the corpse is completely coagulated, this thin and deep blood mark will slowly turn black, and people who often deal with corpses still have a better understanding of these basic changes that occur on the corpse.

However, if the mark was put on after the woman's death, even if the same white silk was used, the mark on the corpse's neck would be white and thick after death, and as the corpse's blood coagulated completely, the color would turn purple or brown, in short, it would not be black.

Then, the cause of this woman's death is very clear.

She was indeed strangled on top of the white silk, and after she died, someone removed her body from the white silk and then pinched the corpse's neck with both hands, so that the white marks were left on the corpse's forehead and neck.

And the scene that Jiang Ning came back to just now, it was obviously the scene where the guy who took the corpse off the white silk and then left a handprint on the corpse's forehead and neck had just finished his work.

This also shows that the woman he saw at this time had just died, so the handprint was white.

In addition, he heard from Li Yanxi's mother and sister that Li Yanxi's wife is a Hedong lion, although Li Yanxi is a Jinshi and the first, and he also took the name of Tanhualang, but after all, the foundation of this poor scholar is still too thin, and he can't raise his head in front of his wife's family at all, and he is always pointed at by outsiders, saying that he eats soft rice.

Forget it, this wife is very fond of chasing after the wind and shadows, because Li Yanxi is really personable, dignified, and there are women who admire him wherever he goes, plus he is famous, but he is also the number one person, so there are indeed many ordinary women and official ladies who love him in the capital, and sometimes they meet it, and it is inevitable that they will have some contacts, which makes the lioness overturn the vinegar jar, and every once in a while, the two of them will quarrel because of Li Yanxi and other women.

At first, Li Yanxi also knew that his wife was jealous because of her love, no matter how she made trouble, she didn't care, but felt that she was taken to heart and was very happy.

It's just that after a long time, he can't stand it anymore, you said that when you were newly married Yan'er, he was a handsome son, and it was very normal to be loved by others.

But the two of them have been married for a few years, the old husband and wife, who am I, Li Yanxi, you should always be clear, right? But that woman still loves to eat flying vinegar as always, if she doesn't coax, she will cry, make trouble and hang herself, this comes and goes, there are many times, Li Yanxi will always have a time of aesthetic fatigue, women occasionally eat vinegar, sprinkle a little coquettish, very cute, pitiful, but if it is like this every day, every day, it will become annoying!

So with the passage of time, although the husband and wife love and love between Li Yanxi and his wife are still there, the goodwill in some aspects has been reduced to the freezing point.

For example, at the beginning, when he cried and was about to hang himself, Li Yanxi would be very nervous and distressed, for fear that his wife would do something that he would regret for the rest of his life because of a little thing, but the number of times he made such a fuss was too much, it was a little bad.

It's like the story of the wolf, when you are going to hang yourself every time, and you don't die in the end, when you really want to hang yourself, everyone doesn't want to pay attention to you, anyway, if you make a fuss for a while, you will come down from the white silk after a while.

When by chance, Li Yanxi found that the white silk that his wife was about to hang was tied with a live buckle from beginning to end, and he would not hang people at all, although he didn't say it, but whenever his wife was about to hang herself, he was not very happy to care.

But when Jiang Ning looked up, the white silk tied on the beam was clearly tied with a dead knot!

At this moment, Jiang Ning's heart had doubts.

"That Bai Aya, is it really Li Yanxi's wife who tied it herself?" Jiang Ning lowered his head and muttered to himself.

It is undeniable that there are indeed some women who, after bluffing many times, find that they can't defeat their purpose or are completely disappointed in their man, so they will make this extreme choice, but generally speaking, those who dare to commit suicide will succeed in committing suicide when they commit suicide for the first time, while those who dare not commit suicide, those who bluff, every suicide is fake.

Even if Li Yanxi's wife really wants to commit suicide this time, then. The timing of this suicide was inevitably chosen too cleverly, not before Li Yanxi impeached Tian Yufang, not before the last time the two of them quarreled because of the butterfly girl, but after Tian Kangbang found out about Li Yanxi's impeachment of his younger brother, this accident was inevitably too timely.

And. Since it was a suicide, how could those people accurately grasp the truth and timing of Li Yanxi's wife's suicide?

Since this problem can't be solved anyway, it shows that Li Yanxi's wife's hanging suicide this time, originally according to her own intentions, should be the usual bluff, the same, Bai Aya is tied with a live buckle, as long as he stretches out his neck, because of the weight of his body, the live buckle of Bai Yan will be untied with his own will, as long as he gently pulls the knot on the live buckle when he wants to fall, all the original crises will come to naught.

However, this time, after the woman stretched her neck up, no matter how she tried to pull the knot, the button would not be unfastened, so this time the fake became true and she hanged herself alive.

Is it wronged, naturally it is very wronged.

However, thinking of the figure who left in a hurry from the room, Jiang Ning felt that he was not wronged at all.

This white silk was obviously not tied by Li Yanxi's wife herself.

Bai Aya, who is so life-threatening, even if it is cheating, also has a certain danger to her life, and even a white silk has to be ordered to be done by others, which is equivalent to easily putting her life and death into the hands of others, then, when someone wants her to die, she will naturally die at any time.

And since Li Yanxi's wife is willing to hand over Bai Aya, which is related to her life, to another person to tie it, it means that this person must be a person who can speak and is extremely close to her, so that she will be defenseless and die inexplicably.

So, who is Li Yanxi's wife, besides Li Yanxi himself, the most trusted person in this Imperial History Mansion?

Of course, that is the personal maid who grew up with her since childhood.

Although there are still a lot of men in the Imperial History Mansion, those officials and servants, as men, are naturally not suitable for entering the room of the master mother, so the matter of changing the living buckle into a dead knot must have been done by the maid.

As for her motive for doing so, that's more.

For the sake of love, for hatred, for the sake of interests, it is naturally possible.

Whether it is the left capital Yushitian Kangbang, or the prime minister Li Yun who is hidden behind the scenes, if he wants to threaten or buy off a subordinate in Li Yanxi's mansion, there is a way.

And the person who looked back in the light and shadow at that time, although it was only a glimpse, whether it was the figure or the handprint that strangled Li Yanxi's wife, it clearly belonged to a man.

In other words, the one who unknowingly killed Li Yanxi's wife and left a handprint on her corpse was at least two people cooperating.

The first is Li Yanxi's wife's personal maid, as for the second one, Jiang Ning didn't know who this person was before, but when he chased Xu Sanhui all the way to Tian Kangbang's mansion, he happened to perceive through Li Yanxi's body that the personal maid was now also in Tian Kangbang's mansion, and when he lived with Xu Sanhui, this world was like a new chess game, and it was really more dramatic than acting!

Those two people are living together now, which means that there was a personal relationship between the maid and Xu Sanhui.

Tian Kangbang bought Xu Sanhui, which is equivalent to buying this personal maid, and when Li Yanxi's wife handed over the task of tying white silk on the beam to her maid as usual, she never imagined that she regarded herself as a sister's personal maid, and would replace the live buckle on the white silk with a dead knot, and death was naturally inevitable.

And after that, Na Xu San would follow the plan and the maid's ventilation message, break in in time, and leave marks on her neck with both hands when the blood of the corpse has not completely coagulated, so that as long as he finds another person who listens to Li Yun or Tian Kangbang's instructions to act in a pretend, Li Yanxi's crime will not be shaken off.

After this big drama, just a housekeeper of the Imperial History Mansion and a maid who grew up with Li Yanxi's wife since childhood, put the two masters to death.

And the return of the housekeeper and the girl is probably just two jujubes, whether it is for Tian Kangbang or Li Yun, that value is not worth mentioning at all.

Even after the turmoil of this matter subsides, in order to keep these two people a secret for them forever, Xu Sanhui and his little lover will also go with the two masters who were killed by them.

It's just that the two short-sighted subordinates are still immersed in ignorant joy, completely unaware of the cold lips and teeth, and the two of them are already like grasshoppers after autumn at this time, and there is not much time to jump at all.

The reason why Tian Kangbang is willing to leave them in the mansion to take care of them with good food and drink is to confuse them, let them relax their hearts, and stay in the mansion of Zuodu Yushi in a short time, no matter what actions there are, Tian Kangbang can detect and react at the first time, but after Li Yanxi's matter passes, there is no need for these two people to stay at all, what awaits them must be death, and it is quiet, and not many people know about death at all.

The huge capital is full of rivers and people, and I don't know how many lives there are every year, just like pebbles sinking to the bottom of the water, silently, no one notices.

No one will know which day, the subordinate in that mansion will die, and even if he knows, no one will care at all, so as long as Li Yanxi dies, as long as they have worked in the mansion and become a subordinate person, as long as a month or two passes, no one will be able to remember it at all except themselves.

It's just that with the death of these two people, no one will ever know the truth about the unjust death of Li Yanxi and his wife, whether it is Tian Kangbang, Tian Yufang, or the prime minister Li Yun himself, they will not say it, because this is originally their masterpiece.

This is also the reason why he and Dong Xun chased him all the way to the mansion of Zuodu Yushi after discovering that Xu Sanhui on the street.

First, he was curious about what kind of force made him not find this Xu Sanhui at that time, and secondly, because Jiang Ning always felt that Xu Sanhui's walking posture was very similar to the back he saw in the scene of time rewind.

And the same scene of time rewinding, when Jiang Ning walked to Li Yanxi's study, happened again.

Only this time, it's a scene where the back takes a book from the table in the middle of the study, and then tears the book up and burns it in the courtyard.

From beginning to end, that back was facing away from Jiang Ning, but he was sure that that person and what he saw in Li Yanxi's wife's boudoir must be the same person!

Now, he naturally knows that this person is Xu Sanhui.

It's just that the remaining pages of the book after being burned, Xu Sanhui did not carelessly throw them into the flower pond, but carefully dug the flower pond and buried those things in the soil.

The reason why it was so easy to be discovered was naturally Jiang Ning's hands and feet that he did later.

And that Zixi candle, Jiang Ning really didn't move, and it was originally placed there.

Obviously, with the brains of the housekeeper Xu Sanhui, he couldn't have imagined that when destroying the evidence, he would not only burn the "Qilin Yu Kao", but also burn the remaining Zixi candle.

It's just that ordinary people may not realize anything if they just see the broken candle, but when they see the fragment of "Qilin Public Opinion Examination" in the flower pond, they will definitely arouse their curiosity, and after careful thinking, they will definitely realize that what Li Yanxi said in the Inspectorate at that time is true, and the reason why they have not been able to find the book of "Qilin Public Opinion" is because this book has been destroyed by someone first.

Following this line of thought, the people of the Fourteenth Prince will soon realize that the Zixi candle remaining on the table in the study was also caused by Li Yanxi actually studying here at that time.

If he hadn't been studying in his study, the candle wouldn't have lit.

If he had just made alibi evidence for himself in advance, then "Qilin Yukao" would not have been destroyed and buried in the flower pond.

In this way, no matter what, Li Yanxi's suspicion will be washed away.

As long as the people of the Fourteenth Prince can realize this, then it won't be long before they can be released from the prison openly.

At that time, whether it was Zuo Du Yushi Tian Kangbang or Prime Minister Li Yun, they didn't have anything to say.

Originally, Jiang Ning wanted to stop after doing this, but when he heard so many things in this Tianfu today, he suddenly didn't want to leave so simply!

"If you do bad things, you should always pay for your crimes!" Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and said coldly.
