I don't know how long later, the carriage stopped, and Wen Jing woke up in a daze.

In front of him is a dilapidated Zhuangzi, with the word "Yizhuang" written on the plaque.

"Master Ji, why are you here?" A middle-aged man walked out, and from his voice he sounded happy, but his expression was always stiff.

"Xingyuan, I'm here to investigate an old case, this is Lord Wen." Ji Chang sang.

Xing Yuan glanced at Wen Jing, saluted, and said, "Two adults, just ask whatever you want." ”

"Twelve years ago, were you in Yizhuang?" Wen Jing asked.

"At that time, it was the villain's father who took care of Yizhuang, and then his father passed away, leaving the villain to take care of it alone, without a father, without a mother, without a wife and without children, and I was alone in Zhuangzi." Xing Yuandao.

"How will you bury the corpses that were sent?" Wen Jing then asked.

"Two adults come with the villain." After Xing Yuan finished speaking, he walked to the back of the house.

Behind the house is a barren mountain, with large and small graves scattered all over the mountain, some of which have simple tombstones made of wooden planks in front of them, and some of which do not even have tombstones.

"The two adults, twelve years ago, should still be in front, those years are long, these are the remains of unclaimed prisoners or victims, and after the verdict, they were buried in this mass grave." Xing Yuan walked aside.

After walking for a while, Xing Yuan pointed to a few graves without tombstones and said, "These should have been the ones from twelve years ago." ”

"Do you remember a man who was bitten to death by a rat, which one of them was it?" Wen Jing asked.

Xing Yuan smiled innocently: "My lord, you are too much of a villain, it happened twelve years ago." Where does the villain remember. ”

"Dig it all up and see." Ji Chang sang.

Xing Yuan brought a hoe, but the body was not buried deeply, and no coffin was used, and soon a pair of white bones were exposed.

"Sure enough, it's been a long time, and the broken grass mats are all rotten." Xing Yuan muttered to himself.

Skimming the dirt away with his hands, a completely mottled skeleton that had been eaten by insects appeared in front of the trio.

It was a small male skeleton, and Wen Jing squatted down and began the autopsy.

"The deceased was a male, about four feet four inches tall. Be between thirty-eight and forty years of age. It was a slope foot, the bone of the right foot was deformed, and the right leg was shorter than the left leg, the cause of death" Wen Jing suddenly stopped.

"What is the cause of death?" Ji Changge then asked.

"The cause of death was beheading. The incision is smooth. And the location is precise. If you cut it with a knife, you should have died under the executioner's knife. Wen Jing said.

"Then this is not Sun Dali's body, this person is a death row prisoner. Sun Dali should have died of the plague. Ji Chang sang.

"He hasn't been infected with the plague." Wen Jing said.

"Since it's not the corpse that the two adults are looking for, do you want to dig up the rest and take a look?" Xing Yuan said enthusiastically, but the expression on his face was still the same, it was not surprising that he looked at the corpse every day, and no one communicated.

Ji Changge looked at Wen Jing, Wen Jing shook his head: "No need, thank you." ”

On the way back, Wen Jing looked at Ji Changge and said: "The cause of Sun Dali's death is very suspicious, we only need to confirm whether Sun Dali is the foot of the slope, and we can determine whether this corpse is Sun Dali's." ”

"I'll go check it, it's not early, I'll send you back first." Ji Chang sang

Although Ji Changge had already been mentally prepared, he was still taken aback when he saw Wen Qiran's appearance, a good person could become like a beast, with scarlet eyes and a hideous expression, where was there still a trace of Wen Qiran's former shadow, he could finally understand why Wen Jing was suddenly so eager to solve the case, and if he replaced him, he might have already rushed into the palace to settle accounts with Cao Xi.

"Have you drunk the medicine?" Wen Jing asked.

"I barely poured a little, but the master still refused to drink," Zhou Quan said in a low voice.

Wen Jing frowned: "Go fry another bowl of medicine." ”

Qingshuang brought a bowl of new medicine: "Lady, this is freshly fried." ”

Wen Jing picked up the bowl and said to Ji Changge: "Help me hold my father, don't let him move, this medicine won't be good if you don't pour it." ”

Ji Changge, Zhou Quan and the others pressed Wen Qiran hard, their expressions a little unbearable.

Wen Jing pinched Wen Qiran's nose, forced him to open his mouth, and slowly poured the medicine in, Wen Qiran choked a few sips and coughed violently, but finally drank all the medicine.

Wen Jing quietly turned around, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and held back his tears.

As soon as Ji Changge left, Wang Jue also came back from the Hanlin Academy, followed by a few people dressed as eunuchs and walked in, all holding several boxes in their hands.

"Just leave it here, bothering a few fathers-in-law." Wang Jue said.

A few fathers-in-law put the things in their hands on the table and said with a smile: "Lord Wang is polite, there is still something in the palace, so we will leave first." ”

After a few eunuchs left, Wang Jue looked at this pile of things with a headache.

"Seventeen Lang, is this a reward from the Holy Heaven?" Wen Banniang asked, looking at those exquisite brocade boxes, the contents must be worth a lot, but Wang Jue looked disgusted.

"It's King Yan's apprenticeship." Wang Jue said.

"Have you seen Concubine Niangniang?" Wen Jing asked.

Wang Jue opened a box, which contained a fine piece of jade, and said lightly: "I saw it, she has been telling me to discipline King Yan strictly." ”

"What is the relationship between King Yan and Concubine Shu?" Wen Jing then asked.

"Although King Yan is only twelve years old, he is not as good as the rest of the princes in terms of heart and calmness, which should be attributed to Concubine Shu, but the relationship between King Yan and Concubine Shu is not very close on the surface, of course, maybe it's just because of being in front of people." Wang Jue said.

When Concubine Rong died, King Yan had not yet been born, Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu had fought for a lifetime, and now, King Xuan and King Yan were going to fight for the throne again, Wen Jing said.

"How's Uncle Wen?" Wang Jue walked into the house as he spoke.

Wen Qiran, who drank the medicine, calmed down a lot, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Accompany me to King Xuan's Mansion." Wen Jing said.

Wang Jue nodded.

"Take it and divide it." Wang Jue pointed to the things on the table and said, except for the piece of jade.

Everyone was overjoyed in their hearts, but they couldn't be too happy on the surface, Wen Qiran was still lying on the bed, silently dividing the things and scattering.

Wang Jue and Wen Jing got into the carriage and drove towards King Xuan's mansion

King Xuan was slightly surprised by the arrival of Wang Jue and Wen Jing, these two people usually don't have time to hide from him, but now they actually sent them to the door by themselves.

After looking at King Xuan's mansion, Wen Jing had to say that it was very in line with King Xuan's arrogant temperament, and the whole home of an upstart made of gold.

Two rows of maidens stood on either side, ready to be sent, King Xuan sat lazily in his chair, and Liancheng stood behind him with his hands down.

"The lower official greets the prince." Wen Jing and Wang Jue saluted.

"Excuse me, what are the two lords doing when they come to this king?" King Xuan raised his eyelids and said.

Wen Jing glanced at the maids on both sides, King Xuan waved his hand, and the maids on both sides immediately retreated.

Wang Jue walked out, and even Cheng walked out, closing the door from the outside.

"Alright, now you can talk, sit down." King Xuan sat up straight and said.

"Then Qi Niang won't beat around the bush, this time I came here for Concubine Rong's affairs." Wen Jing said.

King Xuan's face changed slightly: "Go on." ”

"Do you remember when you were a child? Before Concubine Rong died, what was abnormal? ”

King Xuan frowned slightly, obviously unwilling to recall that time, it was the best day of his life, and it was also the period he was least willing to recall.

"It's important." Wen Jing reminded.

"Since the king remembers, the mother concubine has been alone in the Ronghua Palace all day long, the father and the emperor have occasionally gone a few times, but they only stayed for a while and left, never stayed in the Ronghua Palace or dined, every time the father left, the mother always had to hide alone and secretly cry, and then later, the mother was sick, and the nurse took the king to live elsewhere, and did not even let the king see the mother, not long after, the mother passed away, and the king did not even see her for the last time." After King Xuan finished speaking, he silently closed his eyes.

Concubine Rong has always been unfavored, even when Concubine Rong is pregnant, Concubine Rong is still not favored, it doesn't seem like Lord Fang said, in order to be jealous and compete for favor, it will lead to destruction, Concubine Rong has no need to do that, Concubine Rong is not a threat to her at all.

Could it be that Concubine Rong is also like Wen Qiran, she knew some things that she shouldn't know, so she was killed, such as Concubine Shu was a fake pregnancy, or knew the evidence that Concubine Shu murdered other concubines, but these are just speculations, there is no evidence at all, Wen Jing thought.

"Isn't it a concubine?" King Xuan asked in a low voice.

Wen Jing shook his head: "There is no evidence, the prince is a little restless, the truth will be revealed to the world one day, and the concubine will be given justice." (To be continued......)
