Before dawn the next day, before the opening of the door, the He family turned on the lamp, and Wang Xiaodong's daughter held the lamp and came to her father's door to wake him up. [Full text reading]

After knocking on the door a few times and there was no response, Wang pushed the door in, put the candlestick in his hand on the table in front of the bed, and waited for the candlelight to stabilize dìng, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly saw the figure fluttering in front of the basin stand, and let out a heart-rending scream on the spot.

"Ah!!!! Father!!!!!!! ”

Early in the morning, the He family suddenly heard such a voice, and immediately ran to check in a panic, and saw Wang sitting on the ground in front of the basin stand, and a man was planted face down in the basin, afraid that he had already been angry for a long time, and Wang was holding the corpse's legs and crying.

The He family was shocked, and they all stepped forward to forcibly drag the Wang family away, and several men put Wang Xiaodong flat on the ground with all hands and feet, although the charcoal fire in the house was not extinguished, but the body was cold, and it was stiffening, obviously it had gone.

"In-laws, why did you go like this! Leave your family behind, what will they do! He Jie knelt on the ground and slammed his hands sadly.

Wang was forcibly dragged out of the door by the female relatives of the family, so that the men could do things in the house, and they were already crying breathlessly, and her children were also crying non-stop beside their mother.

He Jie's son, Wang's husband, wiped away his tears and lifted his father out the door.

"Dad, let's stop crying first, hurry up and call Wuhou, and when the door opens, report to the official, my father-in-law is a seven-rank official, and my father has to go to the imperial kitchen to report the funeral."

"Yes, yes, now is not the time to be sad, there is still business to do, you go and call Wuhou to come."

The young man went out immediately, and the He family also began to clean up the scene, and the female family took the child to the back house to cry, and waited for dawn to return to the Wang family to report the funeral.

Wu Hou was woken up from his sleep by his family, and when he heard that something had happened to the He family, he hurriedly dressed and rushed over, and after inspecting the scene, no one was allowed to enter the room, so he left Wang Xiaodong, who had died, lying on the ground, and went to report the case immediately after the door opened.

Because of Wuhou's calm command, the chaotic He family finally regained some order, and they were no longer chaotic, and the alarmed neighbors also came to help, and prepared a carriage to send the Wang family back to their parents' house to report the funeral.

Just when the He family was preparing for the condolences, the time to open the door was also up, and Wang's husband was about to set off to report the case to the yamen, when the officials of Yingtianfu suddenly dismounted outside the street gate and walked in.

"What's going on?" The official stood in the courtyard and asked, the scene was chaotic, and it seemed that something bad had happened.

"A few bad masters, someone from this family has passed, and we are about to report to the official." Wu Hou immediately went over to explain.

"Someone died? Who is it? ”

"It's the in-laws of He Jie, the head of this family, called Wang Xiaodong."

"Wang Xiaodong is dead?! How did he die? What about He Jie?! ”

The officials were shocked, and Wu Hou felt a sigh in his heart when he saw this, and a bad premonition swelled up.

"He Jie is here, he's here, he's fine, I'll call him over."

Wu Hou turned around and ran, dragging He Jie over.

"A few bad masters, he is He Jie."

"Prepare the car, and Wang Xiaodong will go to Yingtianfu with us. As for you, He Jie, Lin Leren confessed to you, and the lord ordered you to be imprisoned, let's go. The officials didn't say a word, put a chain around He Jie's neck, and quickly tied people up and left.

"What did I do?! Why take me! I was wronged! He Jie struggled to be dragged out of the street.

Seeing this scene, some sane family members who had just recovered also howled like madness and rushed up to snatch people down, and Wu Hou hurriedly called the neighbors to help stop them, and they had to eat prison meals for beating the officials.

The neighbors smelled the gossip and tragedy, rushed up to form a human wall, stopped the crazy He family, and pushed them all back into the courtyard, so that the officials could escort He Jie to stand in the alley.

Then Wuhou beckoned to prepare the car and asked the two young men to carry Wang Xiaodong's body out, put it on the car and go back to the yamen with the officials.

Before leaving, the officials gave an order to Wuhou, asking him to watch everyone in the He family, and ask him if he got away.

Wu Hou naturally didn't dare to slack off, borrowed a pair of padlocks from the neighbors, closed the door of Hejia Street and locked the door, and asked his subordinates to inspect the fence in front and back, in case someone in their family jumped over the wall and escaped, and turned a deaf ear to the cries inside.

There was such a big incident before dawn this day, and some curious neighbors couldn't wait to listen to other people's rumors, but followed the officials to Yingtianfu, and they could listen to the news.

Lin Leren is also able to carry it, since he arrived at the yamen last night and lasted until the fourth watch, his body was not supported, and he finally couldn't bear it and told the truth, so Fu Yin immediately ordered to take He Jie, who knew that he actually encountered Wang Xiaodong's death, and the prince's men searched for a night and didn't find anyone, so he died in He Jie's house.

The timing is also a coincidence.

The officials took the suspect back to the yamen, followed by the lively neighborhoods, and a few figures in ordinary clothes came out of the Y shadows at the corners of the lanes, followed behind and slowly went out of the workshop, and went straight back to the eldest princess's mansion to resume his life.

When he arrived at Yingtian Mansion, Fu Yin heard that Wang Xiaodong was actually dead, so he quickly called for an autopsy, and then called the master to prepare the necessary case files, and then Fu Yin, who had also not slept all night, yawned and went back to the back house to make up for sleep, preparing to enter the palace in the morning.

Because of He Jie's confession, he knew the situation when Wang Xiaodong died, and he did another autopsy, there were no external injuries all over his body, and there was a faint smell of alcohol on his body, and his mouth, nose and eyes were all in line with the death of drowning, and it was confirmed that the cause of death was indeed drowning, and it was speculated that the cause was probably drunk and thirsty, getting up in the middle of the night to drink water, unsteady feet, and an accident.

On the side of the head of the torture room, He Jie did not have Wang Xiaodong as a backer, so he simply took advantage of the situation to put all the charges on him, and pointed out that it was Wang Xiaodong's idea, the main purpose was to take revenge on Bai Ko, because of the princess's diet problem, Bai Ko's blind cat encountered a dead mouse and easily solved it, which made the prince dissatisfied with the imperial kitchen, thinking that the imperial kitchen deliberately wanted to be unfavorable to the crown princess, in fact, the imperial kitchen was very wronged, and the daily diet and portion were recorded in detail, and the crown princess had never been murdered.

Wang Xiaodong was the head of the Qipin Imperial Kitchen before his death, and if he was dissatisfied with Bai Ko and wanted to retaliate against her, he did have a motive, after all, the matter of the crown princess is now known throughout the capital, and the imperial kitchen is not well served, which has caused a lot of discussion among the people.

The master copied He Jie's testimony, and then copied a copy of the various confessions throughout the night, and also copied a copy of the autopsy file he made, and sent all of them to the back house for Lord Yin to use when he faced the saint.

Fu Yin slept for more than an hour before he was woken up by his wife, had breakfast, dressed neatly, and brought all the cases to the palace urgently.
