Chapter 177 Huaining's Child

"So, you think Aohime has other siblings. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After they listened to the inferences I had made from all the clues I had gotten from Aohime, they fell into silence. For a long time, my brother hesitated and repeated what I had just said.

"Yes, since Qing Ji was infected with this epidemic when she was a child, and the epidemic is only transmitted among children, then at that time, in the courtyard of Lord Huaining, there was at least one child about the same age as Qing Ji, and he was very close to Qing Ji, so it was possible to transmit it from this child to Qing Ji." This is the most fundamental reason why I think Seihime has at least other siblings.

"I've heard Shouwang mention this plague that can spread among children, but it seems that this plague has only appeared in Yu Country, and has never been found in other territories. At that time, in the country of Yu, many children died because of this plague, and the main characteristics of the disease were ulcers in the hands and feet, slow breathing, unsteady heartbeat, and signs of irregular and recurrent fever. And this disease is indeed mostly transmitted between relatives of the same blood, such as Mrs. Qingji, the daughter of the family, she must be under strict supervision since she was a child, and the art of etiquette cannot be ignored, and she is raised in the deep boudoir, and the possibility of coming into contact with outsiders is not high, and didn't Miss Yuanyi say that there are no people of the same age as them in Lord Huaining's mansion? Moreover, with the identity of Mrs. Qing, it is almost impossible for the children of the next person to contact her if they want to contact her. Most likely, Mrs. Aohime has other siblings. Xiao Jue approved of my idea.

Therefore, we are all waiting for my brother's opinion, if he agrees, then the possibility of this matter has basically been determined, and the rest is to find clues. But my brother is out and about, and he knows a little more about the outside world than we do.

"It's just that before, I have never heard of Lord Huaining of this Yu country and other children, if it weren't for Qing Ji's own brothers and sisters, could it be collateral blood relatives?" My brother denied the existence of Aohime's biological siblings.

This is the same as the statement of Qing Ji and Yuan Yi, Qing Ji is the only child of her father, Lord Huaining.

"But Xiaoxi, why do you think of Qingji's other siblings? Do you think that please remember that the case was completed with the help of her biological siblings? My brother wondered.

"It's hard to say." And all of this, without evidence to confirm it, is just my speculation. "Brother, let's take a trip to Yu Country, I haven't been relieved, I think it's better to confirm it."

My brother looked at me for a long time and nodded, "Okay then, I'll go later." Then he turned to face Xiao Jue and said, "Then now, isn't it time to tell Xiaoxi about the white bones we found?" ”

"White bones? What did you find? "I've almost forgotten about it.

Xiao Jue walked over with his crutches and his body, and then groped his way and sat down on the chair. "Last time, didn't we make a preliminary judgment about that nameless tomb for at least ten years?"

"So what?" I waited for him to continue, then walked over to him and sat down, waiting patiently.

"However, yesterday Brother Huo Zhun helped, and after we re-examined the white bones, we made new discoveries." Xiao Jue said, he leaned his ear and listened to the direction where my brother was.

"So what exactly is your new discovery?" I was a little anxious to hear it, could it be that there was really some inevitable connection between that white bone and the case we are investigating now?

"We have confirmed that the substance attached to the white bone is indeed a highly poisonous." My brother couldn't stand it anymore and solved the mystery.

I still don't understand what the two of them are selling, "But before, didn't I also judge that the black spots on the white bones were indeed a sign of poisoning?" What does this have to do with your new discoveries? ”

"And the poison that caused the blackening of the white bones was a poisonous weed that only spread from Dongyi to Kyushu about nine years ago. This poisonous weed is precious, it is a treasure offered by a certain tribe in Dongyi to Han, and it is said to be the only one in the world. It's just that six years ago, Emperor Shao recovered the country and sentenced Han Xuan to death, and the whereabouts of this thing are unknown. Xiao Jue said softly, then turned around and lifted the kettle on the table, poured a glass of water, and handed it over first.

I took it casually, in fact, all I was thinking about at this moment was what he just said, "You mean, what kind of poisonous weed is known that can cause this white bone to show this black spot?" And the only one in known history that also disappeared six years ago? So this white bone ......"

If the owner of this white bone really died on that extremely precious and only poisonous weed in the world, then she should have died six years ago, not ten years......

"There's another interesting discovery." My brother laughed and said, "Five years ago, in this country, there was a woman who died. And this woman happened to fit all the characteristics of the white bone we had dug up. ”

I thought about it for a moment, "all the characteristics refer to ......"

"Pregnant." Xiao Jue's voice seemed a little deliberately depressed, probably because the answer that was exposed made him unbearable, but in order to find out the truth of the case, Xiao Jue seemed to have done it calmly enough. "The woman who passed away five years ago is the original wife of this Ziyin, Mrs. Cen. It is said that she was seven months pregnant at the time when she died suddenly. And the white bones we dug up this time, judging from the fetus formed in the pelvis and the abdominal cavity of the white bones, can be judged to be no different from Mrs. Cen. ”

My brother let out a long breath, very helpless, "But what is incomprehensible is that including the people in the courtyard of Lord Yu Yin, almost everyone in this city knows how Lord Yu Yin and his original partner Mrs. Cen fell in love with each other, and everyone seemed to think that after Mrs. Cen died of illness for no reason, Lord Yu Yin was sad and couldn't help himself, so five years later, the monarch of Xin Guo would be in charge, and the only daughter of Lord Huaining of Yu Guo Xu would be married to him as a continuation." ”

"However, if Lord Yu Yin really cares so much about his original wife, Lady Cen, then doesn't the tomb you found in the mountains say that it looks like it hasn't been taken care of for ten years?" In this case, it doesn't make sense.

……

"Lord Jianghuan." I went to his mansion, but the maidservant in the courtyard explained that Master Jiang Huan had gone out.

After asking the reason, the maidservant only said that Lord Jiang Huan has been in a bad mood recently. I heard that he was reprimanded again in front of the king of Xin today, so not long after he returned to the palace, he went out again.

Because I heard that he took a carriage on purpose, I guessed that he may have gone to the mountains to pay homage to the tomb of Mrs. Yin.

When I found the neighborhood, I did see the subordinates on the courtyard of Lord Jianghuan waiting not far away, so I especially avoided those people and made a detour to meet him. Of course, I'm also trying to avoid those guards, if I am stopped by them and interrogated first, maybe Lord Jianghuan will be in a bad mood and directly ask the guards to reject me, and then get in the car and leave. Then I spent half a day climbing up the mountain, and I really couldn't do anything.

Lord Jiang Huan subconsciously looked around, and then became a little angry, but because he was in front of Mrs. Yin's tomb, he could only suppress his anger and asked me, "How did you find here?" ”

His reaction was quite interesting, he looked at the guard first, suspecting that the guard was negligent and let me over. Then he noticed that the guards not far away were standing there very carefully, careful to watch out for everything around them. Then he realized that I had snuck over, not because the guards were negligent, so he was angry because I had disturbed his alone time with Madame Yin.

"If you want to find it, you have a way." I followed his gaze and looked at Mrs. Yin's tomb. Indeed, as Xiao Jue and my brother said, it was very simple, "My lord, Huo Xi has a question, when he first entered the adult's mansion, the simplicity of the adult surprised Huo Xi. Huo Xi couldn't figure it out, with the current status of an adult, even if the adult himself didn't like to be high-profile, so he would be very harsh on himself. So why is Mrs. Yin's tomb so simple, with the adult's longing for Mrs. Yin, even if he spends all his family wealth to build a very gorgeous tomb for Mrs. Yin, it is understandable. ”

"My mother doesn't like outsiders to disturb her, she's used to being simple, and I don't want to go against her will." Lord Jianghuan's explanation is also reasonable.

"It can be imagined that Lord Jianghuan's mother must be a cautious and very loving mother, I think she should tell the adults like this, you must be careful, you must not be too high-profile, otherwise it will lead to death." I say.

Lord Jiang Huan looked at Mrs. Yin's tomb from beginning to end, without even the slightest expression. "What the hell are you here for?"

"For the sake of what the adults have entrusted to me." I whispered, not wanting to disturb the sleeping woman here. "Lord Jianghuan, if my guess is correct, you should have kidnapped Lord Yin, right?"

"Why is Mrs. Xiao so sure?" In Lord Jianghuan's tone, there was still no emotional fluctuation.

"Because you know that Lord Yu Yin and Mrs. Xun will obstruct me more in the next investigation, you know Lord Yu Yin's secret, and you also know the reason why they are unwilling to let me investigate, so you first designed to kidnap Lord Yu Yin, and threatened Mrs. Xun to let me find out the truth, so that the only people left in the palace are some old and weak women and children, and if there is no hindrance to Lord Yin, they will naturally tell me the truth." When I identified the murderer who kidnapped Lord Yu Yin, in the hope that I would find out the truth, I had already thought that the person who kidnapped Lord Yu Yin must be Lord Jianghuan, and there should be no one who wants to know the truth more than him.

But after Xiao Jue told me about the suspicions of the white bones, I began to suspect that the reason why Lord Yu Yin prevented me from continuing to investigate, perhaps, Lord Huan, who had kidnapped him, was clear. Because I knew that Lord Yu Yin would definitely not be willing to let me continue to investigate, so Lord Huan would take action first and take him away, as long as Mrs. Xun was threatened, Mrs. Xun would definitely be obedient.
