At this time, the room was surrounded by Xie Wei's personal entourage, Changping came, and the guards who sent him to his post were also standing inside and out in this house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Xing Peng turned around beside the corpse, and when he turned around, he felt that there was also a group of people gathered around him, and his eyes were all sharp on him.
Xing Peng's thin face was only solemn, and he turned his head to glance at the corpse, and then quickly looked away, and there was even a faint hint of disgust in his eyes.
A doctor was already waiting on the side, and when he saw Xing Peng's sharp eyes sweeping over, he hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his head, and didn't dare to look at Xing Peng's eyes, just stood there with his hands down.
"What's going on?" Xing Peng's tone was cold, but he refused to even look at the doctor on the side.
"Hui, Hui Houye, Xie, Lord Xie, he was poisoned to death. The doctor still hung his head, listening to Xing Peng's cold voice, and even the voice of his voice stammered.
"Isn't this Ben Hou clear? Is this just asking you this?" Xing Peng's face sank deeper and deeper, his eyes swept over the corpse, and then he took it back.
He stood with his back to the corpse in his hands. On a thin and vicissitudes of life, there is no emotion at this time, there is no stunned, no anger, only left, clear and cold indifference, as if Xie Wei's death is just a trivial matter, like the wind blowing through the lake, trembling slightly, and disappearing.
"Can you deduce when Lord Xie died?"
"Lord Xie should have died around the third watch last night, and the small one has also seen it inside and out, it should be, the tea is poisonous. After Master Xie drank the tea, he was poisoned and died. Seeing that the doctor was already speechless by Xing Peng's momentum on the side, and looked trembling, the butler who had been here to maintain the situation early in the morning stepped forward to take over. He had asked these words earlier, and now he was completely stress-free to answer.
"Can you find out what kind of poison?" Xing Peng nodded, his face was a little better, but he still had the same expressionless appearance.
"It should be a pull, the pull is highly poisonous, and it is a one-hit kill. The housekeeper continued with Fang Cai's words, "It can be seen that this poisoned person really wants Lord Xie's life." ā
When the housekeeper said this, his face did not change and his heart did not beat, and his face was obviously old, and he was not shocked. But as Xing Peng's confidant and old family, how could he not know his master's plan. Since returning from the trip to the Yuanhou Mansion, his master and his uncle have released their suspicions, and the relationship is even closer than before.
In this way, Li Jiangyuan, the Marquis of Guiyuan, wanted to kill Xie Wei as an example, how could Xing Peng not agree, not only agree, but also do it on his behalf.
Thinking of the butler here, he lowered his head a little more.
After Xing Peng heard this, the look on his face looked a little weird, but he didn't bring it with half a bit of self-blame or pain.
This look fell in the eyes of Xie Wei's entourage, but it became the last conclusive evidence, completely turning the suspicion of Xing Peng, which was already full of suspicion, into substance.
The former deputy capital, Zhou Huai'an was also indoors at this time. He was the deputy capital of the emperor who would be promoted after the new emperor ascended the throne. He was born in the army, and he has always been a person with no roots and no foundation in the court, and it is not his turn to do this. Only this time, Dutong Liu Yucheng will send Zhang Qi to the post, and he was sent to send Xie Wei to the post, thinking that this matter was just an errand, but he didn't expect that Xie Wei would die. Then how can he, the person who escorted him, get out of the way?
Therefore, if at this time, who cares most about how Xie Wei died, it must be Zhou Huai'an. Even though he knew that Xing Peng in front of him was not something that he, a reckless general, could offend, Zhou Huai'an still said in a rather unkind tone and complexion: "Marquis Xing, what about the last general, he is a rough man who doesn't know too many twists and turns. I only know that since Master Xie is in your house, then, you have to give an explanation for this matter. ā
"Say?" Xing Peng was originally standing on his side facing Zhou Huai'an, but when he heard what he said, he turned around with a sneer, staring at Zhou Huai'an in front of him squarely, with a mocking look of contempt in his eyes, "Lord Zhou, what do you want to ask Ben Hou to say?"
"Or does Lord Zhou want to ask Ben Hou to tell you that Lord Xie was killed by me? ā
As soon as Xing Peng's words fell, this already quiet room was even more silent. For a moment, the person with his head hanging lowered his head, but he still kept looking at Xing Peng with his eyes, and the person who was already staring at Xing Peng angrily stared at him at this time, and his gaze was as straight as a sword.
"The last general will not dare. "Zhou Huai'an is the second type of person, if Xing Peng's contemptuous smile was said before, he was still a little lacking in confidence, he was stabbed like this, he had long forgotten why he had asked in the first place, and the reckless blood in his heart was suddenly agitated to burn, "It's just that Lord Xie is a member of the third grade of the imperial court, ranked in Jiuqing, this is the Qin Mission, and he is patrolling Longxi on behalf of the Son of Heaven, so he can't die in your mansion so inexplicably." ā
Xing Peng was suddenly stabbed by his words, but he was stunned, but he couldn't answer. Xing Peng was really angry at this time, looking at Zhou Huai'an's eyes, if it was contempt before, it was like a frost blade at this time.
"Lord Zhou, it was originally sent by the imperial court to escort Lord Xie, if you want to check and want to explain, then go and check, Xing does not do bad things, and naturally he is not afraid of others prying eyes. It's just that Xing wants to remind General Zhou of you, and no matter what, your crime of dereliction of duty is inevitable. Ben Hou wants to ask you and the people who are watching me in this room, last night, when Lord Xie returned from drinking, where are all the gentlemen?
Xing Peng's words were indeed extremely powerful, and among the people who were glaring at him angrily, several of them lowered their heads in panic, and the confusion on their faces showed the weakness of their hearts in their chests vividly.
"The crime of dereliction of duty in the end, I dare not forget it if you don't say it. After returning to Beijing, he will ask for guilt from today. Although Zhou Huai'an is a rough man, he is not a fool, and the governor has come to this point, even if he submits to Xing Peng, it is just a joke, and the only way to exonerate himself is to drag people whose status is a hundred times higher than him into the water.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huai'an was awe-inspiring, and he was a little willing to cut his body, and said: "As for Lord Xie, the last general is naturally duty-bound. Since the will I received is to escort Master Xie, even if I have the trust of the present, there should be a beginning and an end, and it can be regarded as an explanation. Involved in this matter, no matter how one-handed the person is, the last general will also go to stab him. ā
"Since Lord Zhou has such a hill in his chest, then Xing will look at it. I'm waiting for you to give me back my innocence. Xing Peng's expression calmed down at this time, and he returned to his previous face with vicissitudes on his face, but he couldn't see any expression, "Please also play Your Majesty, and tell Master Xie what is behind him."
