Ling Hao and Xiao Junwan walked out of the palace one after the other, and before they had walked a few steps out of the mansion gate, Xiao Junwan saw a fast horse galloping from far and near. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the person on the horse saw Ling Hao, he immediately grabbed the reins and dismounted, and presented a kneeling post: "See the prince, enlighten the prince, something happened." ”

Ling Hao took the post and looked at it, and locked his eyebrows in an instant.

Xiao Junwan was puzzled: "What happened?" ”

Ling Hao closed the post, lowered his hand, the worry between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper, and slowly opened his lips: "Li Yuanhui is dead, and he died strangely." ”

The name "Li Yuanhui ......" Xiao Junwan seems to have heard it, like a minister in the court, thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered that this person is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!

A national scholar died mysteriously in his own mansion, such a thing is not trivial, this kind of turmoil is beyond Zhang Xiang's ability to quell, Ling Hao then took Xiao Junjuan to the Li Mansion in person.

On the carriage, Xiao Junwan read what was written on the post, the matter was urgent, Zhang Xiang's post was written roughly, but it can be seen that Li Yuanhui's violent death is indeed not simple. Nothing like this has ever happened in Yan Kingdom.

The carriage stopped outside the door of the Li Mansion, Xiao Junwan looked out of the window of the car, and there were forbidden troops guarding inside and outside the Li Mansion, and no idle people were allowed to enter or leave.

Zhang Xiang took the officials of the Criminal Department out to kneel and greet him.

"See the prince."

"What the hell is going on?"

Shangshu of the Criminal Department replied: "Back to the prince, Li Shangshu has not been out of the study since yesterday afternoon, and it was not until this morning that someone found him lying in the study, bruised all over, and he had choked. ”

"Where are the people?"

"Still in the study, the minister knows that this matter is very important, so he specially kept it as it was for the prince to check."

The Li Mansion was already in a mess, there were forbidden troops guarding it everywhere, and the maids in the mansion had been summoned in the courtyard, all of them with frightened faces, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to squeak. There were a lot of people in the Li Mansion, but the entire mansion seemed extremely quiet at this time.

Ling Hao and Xiao Junwan followed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to the place where the incident occurred, and the further they walked into the house, the clearer the crying became.

"Sir...... Lord......"

After Xiao Junwan walked around the corridor, he saw several women kneeling in front of a house crying and crying. There were soldiers guarding the room, and she looked into the room and could vaguely see a man lying inside the door.

Ling Hao stopped, looked back at Xiao Junwan, and stopped talking.

Xiao Junwan knew what he wanted to say, and hurriedly said, "I'm not afraid." ”

Ling Hao nodded, and walked straight to the room with Xiao Junwan.

When the officials of the Criminal Department saluted and reported, Xiao Junwan walked into the house first and saw Li Shangshu's body by the door, the bare skin of the corpse was bruised, and it could be concluded that this was a sign of poisoning.

How did Li Shangshu get poisoned, whether he took it internally or was injured. Xiao Junwan squatted down, stretched out her hand to open Li Shangshu's collar to carefully check whether there was any poison on her neck, and suddenly saw that the jade on her wrist began to turn black, and she was stunned.

The jade jue hanging from her wrist touched the corpse first......

The corpse is poisonous!

Xiao Junwan was shocked, withdrew his hand, stood up, and stared at the corpse, his brows furrowing more and more.

What poison is so powerful......

Xiao Junwan hadn't come to his senses yet, but he saw that Ling Hao also wanted to check the symptoms of Li Shangshu's poisoning.

"Don't touch it, prince!"

Ling Hao's hand hovered, less than three inches away from the corpse.

"The corpse has the virus and is contagious."

The officials of the Criminal Department behind him were shocked and knelt down in a hurry: "The ministers don't know, the ministers deserve to die." ”

Ling Hao looked at the corpse, pondered for a moment, and then slowly got up, not panicked, his indifferent gaze swept around the room, and stopped on the bookcase on the left side of the room.

"Get up."

"Thank you for your magnanimity."

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately said: "Lord, the minister really doesn't know that Lord Li is a ...... of epidemic poison."

"Where does the poison come from?"

"I heard from the servants in the house that someone poisoned the tea."

Xiao Junwan followed Ling Hao's gaze and found that he had already seen the cup of tea on the bookcase.

Xiao Junwan walked over and looked, the lid of the teacup was still on the side, and half of the tea in the cup was left. She tested it with jade, and the tea was really poisonous.

The secretary of the criminal department ordered someone to bring a family member to explain what happened.

Xiao Junwan also walked back to Ling Hao's side and said, "Lord Wang, the tea is poisonous. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department arched his hand and said: "It seems that this person's testimony is true, and the ministers must do their best to find out the real culprit." ”

"The concubine knows who the real murderer of the poisoning master is."

Xiao Junwan turned her eyes to see that standing in front of the door was the woman who was crying outside just now.

"Lord Wang, this is Li Shangshu's wife."

Ling Hao asked, "Who is the real murderer you are talking about?" ”

"Back to the ...... of the Prince"

Before Li's words were finished, the guards came to report: "Lord Wang, Princess Pingkang asks to see you." ”

"There are many inconveniences here, let the princess go back first."

"The princess said that she could help the prince investigate the case."

An official next to him said: "Lord, the epidemic is strange, you might as well listen to Princess Pingkang's opinion." ”

Ling Hao ignored the proposal of the Criminal Department official, looked at the Li clan who was still kneeling, and said, "Go on." ”

"Back to the prince, that poisonous tea was made by Mei's own hands."

Xiao Junwan asked, "Who is Mei's?" ”

"It's the concubine of the old man's new na, as early as when the old man took her in, the concubine saw that the Mei family was not a good person, and tried to stop it, but the old man was bent on accepting her as a concubine, but he didn't expect this slut to be a femme fatale and dare to poison and murder the master." Li said and wiped away tears.

Xiao Junwan kept his eyes calm and didn't speak, and Ling Hao didn't say a word.

At this time, two guards pressed a woman to the door and knelt down according to the woman.

"The concubine was wronged ......"

Li Shi turned around and said angrily: "Shut up, the lord treats you well, but you will take revenge and poison the lord, you vicious slut." ”

"The adult treats the concubine as kind as a mountain, and the concubine is too late to repay him, how can he murder the master."

Ling Hao didn't listen to what they said, and walked towards the door, leaving only one sentence: "Take them in." ”

Xiao Junwan followed Ling Hao away, and when she walked in front of Mei's, she took a closer look at Mei's, Li's was middle-aged, and Mei's was very young.

Mei Shi also glanced up at Xiao Junwan, and shouted, "I was wronged." ”

Xiao Junwan retracted his gaze, walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Ling Hao, and was about to speak, but saw that he had just walked out of the Li Mansion and stopped in front of the door.

"See the prince, the prince please forgive Jingshu for being abrupt, Jingshu first came to Yanguo to welcome Lord Li of the Ministry of Rites, today I heard that Lord Li died violently, I was very shocked, let's see if there is a place where Jingshu can help."

It turned out that Zhao Jingshu didn't leave, she kept waiting in front of the door, waiting for Ling Hao to come out.

"This matter is reviewed by the Criminal Department, and the princess doesn't need to bother."

"The prince came to the Li Mansion in person, it can be seen that the matter is very important, Jingshu just wants to do her best to help the prince find out the truth as soon as possible, so as to repay the Yan Kingdom for our kindness."

Without waiting for Ling Hao's decision, Xiao Junwan immediately said: "Since the princess wants to help, the prince might as well agree, this case is tricky, and there is one more person and more efforts." ”

Zhao Jingshu only saw Xiao Junwan behind Ling Hao at this time, smiled at her, and thanked her for speaking for herself.

"Whatever you want."

Zhao Jingshu was pleased, and was about to enter the Li Mansion to check, but when she turned around, she saw Ling Hao leaving with Xiao Junwan in a carriage, although this scene was not very pleasant to look at, but Zhao Jingshu knew that Xiao Junwan was not worthy of her jealousy, so she didn't have to mind.
