Chapter 285: Visitation
The night was quiet, and the sound of a piano echoed in the backyard of the palace, cold and ethereal. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Outside the Yuehua Terrace, Xiao Junwan slowly plucked the strings, and his mood at this moment was also played by time.
The sound of the piano spread far away, and only he in front of her could hear the melancholy mixed in the music.
"Don't worry, tonight is already a turtle in an urn, and it is bound to win."
Xiao Junwan stopped stroking the qin, her face was undiminished, and said: "The epidemic is strange, I'm afraid the real murderer is not as simple as a family member, and I heard Mrs. Li say that that family Ding has just come to the Li Mansion not long ago." ”
"I'll know after the interrogation by the Criminal Department."
"There is a force in the territory of Zhou Province named Strange Poison Valley, and the people of the Valley Gate are good at refining the strange poisons in the world, and I guess that the epidemic poison in Li Shangshu comes from the hands of the people of the Strange Poison Valley Gate."
"Madame is too worried, Li Yuanhui is the minister of Yan State, and he has nothing to do with the forces of the rivers and lakes, let alone meet any people from the Strange Poison Valley who will be killed."
"But......" Xiao Junwan frowned.
"It's not too early, rest early." Ling Hao slowly got up and walked towards the Yuehua Terrace.
"This conspiracy is from Chong Fujun." Xiao Junwan stared and said, "Husband doesn't have to hide it from me, don't let me know. ”
"It's not."
Xiao Junwan walked around to him quickly and looked him in the eyes: "Still saying no." ”
"Don't guess."
"That Ding is smart, and he has found a lot of excuses to let everyone not touch the corpse, and even the criminal department has acquiesced to his reasons, and his reason is to wait for his husband to personally check it, keep the epidemic poison, and wait for you, husband." Xiao Junwan's expression was solemn. He had known for a long time that he had expected the previous assassinations, whether they were assassins or poisoners, but this time it was beyond everyone's expectations, and he almost missed the plan, just a few inches.
Xiao Junwan lowered his eyes and looked at the jade jue on his wrist, if it weren't for it, I am afraid that this time it would be more auspicious and less auspicious, which is really frightening.
"Who is it this time?"
"I don't know for the time being, I don't tell you because I'm afraid you'll be worried."
Xiao Junwan frowned: "I have nothing to worry about." ”
Ling Hao raised the corners of her lips slightly, she was always so straightforward and quick in front of him, and she didn't hide it.
"Even if it was a bureau yesterday, even if I didn't see the clues, I was the one who touched the corpse first, and if I wanted to die, I would die first, you would be fine, and I would not let you have anything."
"Let you take the lead every time, don't allow it in the future, I won't allow you to make any mistakes, you're gone, what should I do? This king doesn't like to wait, let alone indefinitely. ”
Xiao Junwan glanced at him, and resolutely: "Preferentially." ”
"Such a good night, is it a big deal to talk about who lives and who dies?"
"My husband said a few days ago that he wouldn't hide it, but now I forgot about it, it's not over!"
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I wonder if Madame will still have the strength to pursue it then?" Ling Hao picked her up by the waist and walked straight into the Yuehua Terrace.
The clouds and rain dispersed, and she slept deeply, and when Xiao Junwan woke up, she found that the person next to her was looking at her.
The corners of Xiao Junwan's lips lifted, she didn't forget, and said, "Yesterday's business is not over...... Hmmm......"
He rolled over and pressed her under him, kissing her lips that didn't open which pot.
Xiao Junwan reached out and grabbed his neck, flicked his head, escaped from his blockade, and muttered: "Okay, don't say it, just give up." She didn't intend to be more serious, and instead of dwelling on his concealment, she should learn the lessons of this conspiracy and not let him take any more risks no matter what. She wasn't worried because she would always be one step ahead of him.
When I got up, I knew that the person had been successfully caught, and the next thing I had to do was to sit back and wait for the truth to come out.
There were also a few brochures sent to the palace along with the news, and it was Zhao Jingshu who sent these things.
Ling Hao ordered someone to take a look at the concerts of the past few days, and Xiao Junwan looked at the things sent by Zhao Jingshu.
It turned out that Zhao Jingshu believed what Mrs. Li said, and determined that the real culprit was Mei's, and in order to prove Mei's crime, Mei's family history and his experience in Li's Mansion were specially checked, and all of them were recorded in these booklets.
I don't know if I don't know, Mei is still her fellow countryman, born in Shuiyun County, is a native of Qi State, and knows medical skills, Qi Yan was exiled in Yan Country during the battle, and by chance cured Li Shangshu's stubborn disease, entered the Li Mansion as a concubine, because of his youth and favor, and Mrs. Li's incompatibility, he was scolded by Mrs. Li's cane, and there was a suspicion of resentment, and the tea Li Shangshu drank on weekdays was the medicinal tea prepared by Mei's, so he was involved in this murder.
What is written above seems to be reasonable, well-founded, cause and effect, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense at all, Mei has no motive to kill, even if there is, it should be aimed at Mrs. Li, what is the matter with Li Shangshu? As for Zhao Jingshu's motive for saying that Mei's motive is to invade Li's mansion, this one is even more unreasonable, Mei's is just a new concubine, with no children under her knees, Li Shangshu is dead, and what awaits her is only a hard life, and there is no benefit.
Xiao Junwan closed the booklet and sighed.
"Why sigh?"
"There are many rights and wrongs in the deep mansion of Kuofu, wives and concubines are incompatible, and the open and secret battles in the Li Mansion are about to catch up with the harem." Xiao Junwan looked at the brocade book in his hand again and smiled, "It's rare that Princess Pingkang, a native of Ningguo, can inquire about this. ”
"There's no shortage of people around her who can help."
Thinking about it, the two eldest princesses, Rong Hui and Rong Min, will definitely not stand idly by.
In the afternoon, Xiao Junwan took a carriage to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the trip was intended to visit Mei's. Mei was wronged, and it was expedient to keep Mei in prison, but it also made Mei suffer this grievance in vain.
The prison was dimly lit, and when they entered the women's prison, they cried out for injustice, and all of them were women who had committed serious crimes, some of whom were tortured, and their prison clothes were full of blood, and some were curled up in the corner and dying.
She had been here before, and she had almost died here because of the book.
"Girl, please." The official led Xiao Junwan to the depths of the cell.
There were also two officials guarding outside the cell where Mei was being held.
Xiao Junwan took out the token and said, "Open the door, you guys stand down, I have something to say to Mei." ”
"Yes."
When the officials left, the corner was clean. Xiao Junwan walked into the cell without locking the door.
Seeing someone coming in, Mei got up from the corner and knelt in front of Xiao Junwan: "Girl, I was wronged." ”
Xiao Junwan looked at Mei Shi for a while, and only after confirming that no one tortured Mei Shi was relieved: "You get up first." ”
"The lord treats me like a mountain, how can I poison the lord? It's not a pity for me to die, but I can't let the real murderer of the master go unpunished. ”
Xiao Junwan could feel kindness in Mei's eyes, and she leaned over to help Mei's up: "I know." ”
"That ......"
"Don't worry, when the truth comes out, I'll let you out."
"You believe me?"
Xiao Junwan nodded: "I knew that you were wronged in the Li Mansion that day, but the situation forced me to let you stay here for a few days." ”
Mei Shi cried with joy and took Xiao Junwan's hand: "Thank you." (To be continued.) )
