Chapter 305: A Suicide Note
Before I got out of Luming Fang, the carriage suddenly stopped!
Wang'er, who went to fight the front station, drove back on a horse to meet them: "Girl! The prince has already entered the palace, and Master Su is not here!
"There is also news from Ji Niangzi that the lady left a suicide note by her side before committing suicide, and the mother-in-law took the suicide note to Shuntianfu to complain!"
Note?!
Shen Xi paused abruptly and looked at Shen Yan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shen Yan also held her breath for a while, and blurted out: "What about the people from the official mansion?!" ”
"It's almost time to get to Liu'er Hutong!"
The two sisters glanced at each other, and their expressions sank.
Ji's sudden death is obviously abnormal!
And she left a suicide note behind her, so what is written on this suicide note? Why did the mother-in-law next to her take it to the government to complain?
At the moment, I don't know if Shuntianfu and Wen Yuanzhen have colluded, if there is collusion, then they can't control the situation at all.
The only thing that can keep things passive is to let Xiao Huai come over, but the time of the incident is at this time, how can the news be so easy to pass in?
Shen Xi looked at the sky, clenched his fists and said, "I still have to find a way to inform the prince!" Qi Jiu, you go, it's a big deal to stuff more money into the palace people! ”
Regardless of whether this matter is an accident or someone is deliberately planning, Xiao Huai must know, otherwise he will be too passive!
Moreover, the time of Ji's death is so weird, just in time when the Shen family's father and son and Xiao Huai have entered the palace, can people still believe that it was a pure accident?
Swiftly departed, and the carriage moved forward at an even faster pace.
When I arrived at Liu'er Hutong, sure enough, the whole yard had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the surrounding neighbors had also been awakened, and they were pointing outside the door.
There was a noisy sound in the courtyard, and at the same time, a deep male voice came out.
When they were about to enter, the officers and soldiers rebuked him: "What man! ”
"I'm his son!"
The red-eyed Shen Qu wanted to break inside.
Shen Xi hurriedly stepped forward: "We are the people of the Shen family, the servant of the Criminal Department, these two are the children of Ji Niangzi, please let them go!" ”
The officers and soldiers were also interested, and immediately waved their hands to let them in.
When he entered the courtyard, he saw that a sub-door panel had been placed in the open space, and Ji Shi was lying quietly above with his eyes half-open, and he hadn't even had time to cover a piece of white cloth.
"Mother!"
Shen Qu pounced.
Shen Yan stood beside Shen Xi and did not move, but her eyes were already red, and her hands holding the silk were trembling under the cloak.
The original anger and hatred have disappeared most of them after a series of bad luck from the Ji family.
At that time, she had never been ruthless enough to kill her, and she was already calm at this time, but suddenly the news of Ji's death came, so naturally she couldn't be indifferent.
Shen Xi motioned for the maids to step forward to support her, walked to the corpse by himself, took out the Night Pearl, and looked at her neck closely.
There were indeed strangulation marks on her neck, and her eyes were half-open and her mouth was half-open, which was indeed in line with the state of hanging. Looking at the hands and feet, there are no scars.
"What about the suicide note?"
She stood up.
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in official uniforms came out of the room, led by people in their forties, with sharp eyes and three-grade official uniforms.
The level of Shuntian Mansion is very high, and Fu Yin is the third grade, and the official in front of him can be seen to be Fu Yin Yang Qian.
But usually this kind of murder case can't alarm him, even if Ji was the third lady of the Shen family, when she has left the court, he has no reason to ask in person.
Her brow furrowed.
And Yang Qian walked straight to her when he got up, and stopped three steps away and said, "Dare to ask the girl, but she is also the young lady of the Shen Mansion?" ”
Shen Xi nodded: "I am Shen Xi, the second girl of the Shen family." These two are the eldest sons and eldest daughters of Ji Niangzi. I should ask my lord, what is suspicious about Ji Niangzi's death? ”
When Yang Qian heard that she was Shen Xi, he couldn't help but look at it, and then confronted the people on the school field that day with her, so he withdrew his gaze and took a few pieces of paper from the head catcher behind him, handed it to her and said, "Since the girl is here, you might as well take a look at this first."
"This is the suicide note that Ji left on his body when he died, and her servant saw it and sent it to the government, because the matter is so important, the official does not dare to slack off."
Shen Xi's heart was a little nervous when he heard this, and he took it and looked at it again, and his face couldn't help but change: "'Spoiling concubines and killing wives'?!" ”
Ji's suicide note actually accused Shen Chongguang of killing his wife by spoiling his concubine, but she became unjustly killed!
It's no wonder that even Yang Qian came over in person!
"My lord! I don't know what evidence can prove that this suicide note is true?! Shen Xi stuffed the paper into Shen Yan's hand and immediately asked.
Shen Chongguang was not in the mansion at all when the Ji family had an accident, and besides, she was clearly killed by herself, how could it be that she was divorced because she spoiled her concubine and killed her wife?
Of course, she also admitted that Shen Chongguang did not do well in some aspects, but it is also necessary to talk about evidence to give people hats, how could Ji be so disgusting?
When you are about to write such an inexplicable suicide note, you want to frame Shen Chongguang?
What's in it for her?
What's in it for her children?!
She didn't believe that Ji would be so stupid, not to mention that if she really couldn't think about it like this, then why didn't she die directly in Xing'ergou?
Anyway, they can be buried as Mrs. Shen's third wife, and they don't have to let Shen Yan and their brothers and sisters bear a disgraceful reputation!
But she didn't do it, and she also accepted Shen Chongguang's letter of resignation and gift, which shows that she doesn't want to die either!
"Just now, the official has already compared the handwriting, and it has been confirmed that it is indeed Ji's own handwriting. The official will present the court and wait for the judgment of the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"If Miss Shen has any doubts, she can wait here for a while, or she can appeal again."
Yang Qian finished saying this very officially, and then pulled the suicide note back from Shen Yan's hand.
Shen Yan's lips trembled several times but she couldn't make a sound, she looked at the corpse of the Ji family lying quietly on the ground, shook her head and muttered, "This is impossible!" She didn't have to! ”
"Do you recognize that handwriting?" Shen Xi hurriedly helped her and asked.
She looked up at her, her big eyes hollow.
Seeing her like this, Shen Xi didn't need to ask anymore!
Of course Shen Yan knows Ji's handwriting, and since she has identified it, it proves that the handwriting is not fake.
But why did Ji do this?
"Get out of the way! Don't stay here! ”
Several officers and soldiers came over to drive them away on Yang Qian's orders, Shen Qu pushed with them, and Shen Xi hurriedly called the guards brought to stop them.
Then she called Wang'er over again, retreated to the courtyard wall and asked him, "Is there really no suspicious person entering or leaving this courtyard these days?" ”
"Nope!" Wang'er said firmly: "This courtyard is so big in total, the small one allows the two of them to take turns on duty day and night, and it is impossible to not even see whether someone has entered or not."
"Even if you go over the wall and go inside, there will definitely be movement inside, but Ji Niangzi, Mama He, and Chunmei are not abnormal in their daily lives."
