The first to react was Jiang Xu, his face was extremely ugly, and he shouted loudly: "Imperial Doctor! Hurry up and get a doctor! At this time, he could hardly care about the panicked prince, let alone the many guests.

The crown prince was shocked on the spot, there were still countless blood spots on his face, and it wasn't until the princess on the side handed him a handkerchief that he woke up and glanced back at the princess, but he turned around and supported the pale concubine Jiang Lan: "Lan'er, don't be afraid!" ”

Jiang Lan's face was pale, and she pushed away the prince and walked forward quickly, trembling and kneeling in front of the Duchess of the Kingdom.

Li Weiyang looked at this scene, but his face became very strange, it seemed to be mocking, and it seemed to be emotional, but outsiders looked at her, but they felt that she was frightened, so they didn't know how to react for a while. What was happening in the hall was like a play, and she stood there, watching the play, and felt an eerie calm from beginning to end.

Jiang Xu sent people everywhere to look for Jiang Tian, but found nothing, Jiang Tian seemed to have evaporated from the world, and he never appeared at his grandmother's birthday banquet. As a last resort, he hurriedly summoned the imperial doctor, and everyone in the hall looked at each other, and involuntarily surrounded them, and the heavy sense of oppression pressed down heavily, making Li Weiyang feel that there was a sense of oppression in the air here, which made people feel disgusted, and she involuntarily took a step back.

"Are you alright?" A voice came out of nowhere.

Li Weiyang turned around, but Li Minde had already walked past everyone to her side, with a concerned look on his face.

Li Weiyang shook his head and looked at the crowd again. Next to the Taishi chair over there, surrounded by the Jiang family's descendants, outsiders couldn't get close at all, and Li Changle also rushed over in a hurry, looking extremely distracted.

Through the crowd, Imperial Physician Liu's words came over: "Lord Jiang mourns, the old lady is out of breath......" In his sight, Jiang Xu's angry face appeared, and Jiang Hai scolded loudly: "Imperial Doctor Liu, don't talk nonsense, my grandmother was fine just now!" ”

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Liu's face was also very ugly, for a doctor, there was nothing more humiliating than questioning his medical skills, his hand in his sleeve was shaking with anger, and he said loudly: "Eldest son, if you are out of gas, you are out of gas, I can still lie!" If you don't believe it, see for yourself, you don't even have a pulse! ”

When Jiang Xu heard that his mother died suddenly, he only felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, and he couldn't speak at all, and the others were even more dumbfounded, they never expected that it was a good day for his 60th birthday, and he just saw that the old lady was full of energy and tough, why did she lose her breath after a while? !

Jiang Lan suddenly said sadly: "Grandmother! Grandmother! What's wrong with you! It was fine just now, why did you go all of a sudden! ”

The prince saw that his beloved concubine was full of sadness and grief, and hurriedly said anxiously: "Imperial Doctor Liu, what kind of disease did the Duchess of the Kingdom have, why did she suddenly vomit blood and go immediately?" He had just wiped the blood off his face, but his complexion had not improved in the slightest.

Jiang Hai also hurriedly said: "Imperial Doctor Liu, my grandmother suffered from a cold a few days ago and was very sick for a while, is it because of this-"

Imperial Physician Liu shook his head and said, "No, this is not like an ordinary external cold evil disease......

Old Madam Li watched from a distance, only to feel that it was getting more and more wrong, and her heart couldn't help but beat violently, and a bad omen rose. As if to confirm her words, Imperial Physician Liu's next sentence was: "In fact, the Duchess of Guo was poisoned." ”

When Jiang Xu heard this, his face immediately changed: "Poisoned? ”

Imperial Physician Liu nodded, took out the silver needle, and tested it in the blood spurted out by the Duchess of Guo, before raising the silver needle to show everyone, his two lips opened slightly, but the cold words stood out between the closed teeth: "The Duchess of Guo did die of poisoning." ”

When everyone saw that the tip of the silver needle was indeed faintly black.

Jiang Xu couldn't help but close his eyes, his palms were like cold sweat for a while, and two words kept swirling in his head, that is-poisoning! It turned out to be poisoning! Who has that guts! Dare to poison the birthday banquet!

Everyone looked at each other, Mrs. Guogong was Mrs. Yipin, and Jiang Guogong's wife, the Queen Mother personally issued an order to everyone to celebrate her 60th birthday, but at the birthday banquet, the originally very healthy Duchess suddenly died, and the cause of death was poisoning. This incident is like a thousand waves rising from the sky, and once it is verified, the implication will be widespread. And they are standing here at this moment, witnessing the occurrence of this great change, and they are destined to be difficult to stay out of it!

For a while, the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and Jiang Lan couldn't cry and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince!" Please be your grandmother's master! ”

Sure enough, the prince was furious when he heard this, and said: "It's really unreasonable! Who is it? Who dared to poison the Duchess of the Kingdom? We must investigate thoroughly and find out this murderer! ”

Under this order, everyone was in an uproar.

Jing Zhaoyin and Shangshu of the Criminal Department both walked out, and Yao Changqing said: "Your Highness, this matter will be reported to Your Majesty, and the entire Jiang family will be sealed off to prevent the murderer from escaping!" ”

Mrs. Jiang's diet is responsible for a special person, and there will never be poisoning caused by accidental ingestion, everyone thinks that this must be murder, and it is also a murder to the Queen Mother and His Majesty, don't you want to celebrate Mrs. Jiang's birthday with great fanfare, look at the current result?! It is conceivable that the emperor will be extremely angry.

The crown prince nodded and said, "Come on, immediately enter the palace to report to my father, and block the entire Jiang family, Lord Zhang, Lord Yao, please interrogate me well, and I must find out about this matter!" ”

Zhang Hui, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had a solemn face, glanced at Yao Changqing, and responded at the same time: "Yes." ”

On the other side, Li Minde, who had been silently watching what was happening, said softly: "I think there will be trouble here for a while and a half." ”

Li Weiyang glanced at everyone in the Jiang family lightly, but his eyes fell on Li Changle, who was crying, and said slowly: "Of course, people haven't made a big fuss yet, how can they stop here?" Let's get ready! But it was a look that had been expected for a long time, Li Minde smiled slightly and said no more.

Jiang Xu ordered the Duchess to be placed in the side hall immediately, instructed the family to prepare mourning clothes and other matters, and asked all the guests to sit and wait in the hall, and then arranged for Jing Zhaoyin's people to start inspecting the entire hall, the living room, and even the bedroom of the Duchess of Guo, to find out where the person was poisoned and who poisoned it. The crown princess Jiang Lan's eyes were red, as if she was enduring her grief, and Jiang Xu and the others were talking, while Li Changle covered her face with her sleeves and cried, revealing an extremely sad look, and the rest of the people all looked like they were concerned.

The fifth prince Tuoba Rui glanced at Li Changle, who was very sad, and seemed to want to go up to comfort him, but thinking of the bare head with insects crawling on it last time he saw Li Changle, he couldn't help but feel extremely disgusting, and he did several psychological construction for himself, but he couldn't let his legs go to the big beauty, so he turned his eyes away and said to the third prince Tuoba Zhen, who had been silent since just now: "Third brother, when can we leave here?" You can't doubt us, can you? ”

Tuoba Zhen withdrew his gaze from the Jiang family, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't you listen to the prince, you must find the murderer before you can leave here!" "In other words, if you can't find the murderer, everyone has to stay here, even if you're the prince.

The fifth prince Tuoba Rui snorted coldly and said, "He is not fascinated by that Jiang Lan yet, he listens to her for everything!" Old Madam Jiang couldn't have been poisoned by us, what are you doing with so many people, it's just ridiculous and generous! ”

Tuoba Zhen didn't speak, but his eyes involuntarily turned to Li Weiyang, who was talking to Li Minde over there, and he hadn't seen her for a few days, her face did not change and was cold, and her expression was as low-key as ever, and her dress was even more unnoticeable, but she was sitting there, it was already a strange scenery, her eyebrows and eyes were flying, her spirit was beautiful to the top, and her words and deeds were like a sea of flowers in full bloom, so that he couldn't help but look at her. It's not that Li Weiyang is particularly beautiful, but that he has fallen in love with this person, so he will unconsciously chase her. In the end, Tuoba Rui interrupted him: "I really can't sit still, let's go and see what Yao Changqing understands!" With that, Tuoba Rui stood up and walked over to Jing Zhaoyin, who had a solemn face on the side.

Tuoba Yu stood by Yao Changqing's side at this moment and said to him: "You can conduct a detailed examination to further narrow down the scope, since the Duchess of Guo was poisoned, it means that the murderer has a chance to contact her, and half of the people in this hall have ruled out suspicion, because they have no way to enter the inner house, and it is even more impossible to poison the Duchess of Guo's food or the objects it touches." ”

Yao Changqing nodded and said, "That's true, after narrowing down the scope of the inspection, we will focus on inspecting the close maids around the Duchess to see if we can find clues from them." ”

At this moment, Sandalwood exclaimed, "Miss, are you okay!?" ”

Everyone immediately looked at Li Changle, but saw that her face was extremely pale, and the whole person was leaning on Sandalwood's body, as if she was about to faint, Jiang Lan was familiar with her since she was a child, and her relationship was also very good, so she hurriedly went up and said, "Changle, are you okay?" ”

Mrs. Jiang frowned, and hurriedly said: "Changle's body has always been weak, and the old lady who has always loved her died suddenly today-I'm afraid she can't stand the blow, why don't you hurry up and help people in to rest?!" ”

Jiang Lan instructed Sandalwood: "Help your young lady to go to the embroidery building where I used to live!" ”

"Don't bother, I'll go to the guest room and rest for a while." Li Changle looked weak, and was about to walk out of the hall with sandalwood, but suddenly saw Li Weiyang stand up and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, this-I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Everyone looked at Li Weiyang, but only saw her showing a hint of embarrassment, Jiang Lan frowned, and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Li Weiyang's eyes fell on Li Changle's body, and his tone was calm: "Grandmother just left, no one is not sad, and the matter here has not been clarified yet, so I think it is better to ask the eldest sister to be patient, at least wait for the case to come to light, besides, you care about your grandmother so much, why don't you wait for the murderer to be caught before leaving?" ”

Li Changle's body shook for a moment, revealing a look of disbelief, and said, "So what does the third sister mean, even if I am uncomfortable, I have to stay here?" ”

Jiang Lan's beautiful face brought a hint of condensation, turned her head to stare at Li Weiyang, and said, "County Lord Anping, you are like this...... It's too harsh on the eldest sister. ”

"Does Concubine Lan think I'm harsh?" Li Weiyang repeated the words "too harsh", which seemed a little surprised, but quickly said with a solemn face, "I'm just a reasonable doubt." Before the matter is settled, everyone is suspicious, Crown Princess, do you say? ”

The crown princess was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Li Weiyang to ask about herself, she looked at her in surprise for a while, Li Weiyang said lightly: "Although this is the Jiang family, but the most noble status is His Royal Highness the Prince, since the crown princess has also arrived together, this matter, we naturally have to respect your opinion, what do you say, should you let people leave this hall alone to rest?" ”

The crown princess glanced at Jiang Lan coldly, she could see that Li Weiyang and the Jiang family were very bad at dealing with each other, and similarly, she and Jiang Lan were also very bad at dealing with each other, the enemy of the enemy was a friend, since Jiang Lan wanted to protect Li Changle, why didn't she protect Li Weiyang? A woman's logic is sometimes so simple, just now she felt that Li Weiyang was dispensable, but now she immediately felt that she had become amiable, and couldn't help but show a trace of coldness and said: "Concubine Lan, this is the Jiang family, we should respect the master's intentions, and we can't interfere casually." Besides, the matter involves the death of the Duchess of Guo, which is really not trivial, of course, I don't mean to doubt Miss Li, but ...... The county lord is right, anyone has a suspicion, and they should not be indulged. Miss Li needs to rest, of course she can rest in this hall, come and give a seat. ”

Li Changle didn't expect the princess to interject, his face was even more ugly, he could only reluctantly thank him, and was about to walk to the chair, but he seemed to stumble inadvertently.

When I turned around, it was Li Weiyang who I saw.

Li Weiyang said softly: "Eldest sister, you have to be very careful." ”

Li Changle hated the person in front of him, but he didn't dare to attack in front of everyone, and looked around weakly, but Li Xiaoran's face was solemn, Mrs. Li's expression was indifferent, his uncle and cousins were discussing the funeral, and Concubine Jiang Lan didn't dare to refute the princess's meaning...... In the end, she could only stare at Li Weiyang viciously and turned her head: "Thank you." ”

Her voice stiffened, and she quietly stepped back.

Li Weiyang glanced at her hateful expression, smiled faintly, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and said, "You're welcome." ”

After this episode, everyone in the hall could only sit in their places scattered, of course, the guests who could enter this hall were all powerful people, and the ordinary guests had already been accused outside. But it was also very painful for these people to sit like this, so they were willing to stand up and look at the congratulatory gift that had been given to the old lady.

Takuma Zhen's eyes fell on a very special gift, and he stood up and walked to the lacquered screen to take a closer look. There are four lacquer screens, each of which is carved with a delicate picture. The picture is inlaid with gold and silver, jade, pearls, and agate, which is undoubtedly a precious antique. He couldn't help but say, "Brother Huang, is this your congratulatory gift?" ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, then walked over, glanced at the gorgeous screen, and involuntarily sighed and said: "Yes, this gift Concubine Lan has prepared for me for three months, I thought to make the old lady happy today, but who knew that she went like this before she saw the screen, and it was in vain for Lan'er." ”

Jiang Lan was mentioned to be sad, so naturally she couldn't help but wipe her tears again, and said: "Your Highness, I grew up under my grandmother's knees since I was a child, and I can't get close to her, but please look at my thin face, you must uphold justice for your grandmother!" ”

The face of the second lady of the Jiang family stiffened for a moment, but she quickly lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't heard anything, Li Weiyang looked at it in her eyes, but she didn't feel strange, everyone knew that the Jiang family attached great importance to the difference between concubines and concubines, and there were many sons and concubines in the family, but few concubines and concubines. This Jiang Lan is not only the only woman in the grandchildren of the Jiang family, but also the only concubine in the Jiang family's generation, this identity is very embarrassing and delicate, the Duchess of the Kingdom actually took her to her side to raise her, and later sent her to the prince's mansion, which makes people have to sigh. Now seeing the expression of the second wife of the Jiang family, Li Weiyang is more and more sure that the second wife of the Jiang family does not like this Jiang Lan, and yes, she doesn't like it very much. Of course, this wasn't her main concern, so she quickly looked away, as if she wasn't aware.

At this moment, a servant walked up quickly, and everyone's eyes widened at once, waiting to see the conclusion of their investigation.

Yao Changqing hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

The official said loudly: "Back to your lords, my subordinates found a strange thing in the small flower hall where the Duchess was entertaining. There is a tray containing this year's fresh dates, and the rest of the tray is hibiscus cake, butterfly cake, these common snacks, and then there are some melon seeds, candied fruit, which looks nothing special, who knows that a dead mouse was found under the coffee table, and there is a half of the candied dates that have been gnawed and gnawed on the ground, and then I asked the girl in the flower hall, knowing that this room is cleaned every day, if there is a dead rat, it will definitely be found, and it will never be left until now, so this mouse must have just died, So he immediately had the dead rat dissected, and it turned out that—"

Jiang Xu took the first step to stand up and asked, "What did you find?" After he asked, he immediately realized that it was not appropriate for him to go over the Criminal Department Shangshu and Yao Changqing to ask about this matter, but it was his own mother who died, so no one would care about him, Yao Changqing also nodded and said, "You go on!" ”

The official continued: "After dissecting the dead rat, I found some jujube flesh in its belly, so I became suspicious of these dates, and turned around to examine the remaining jujube flesh on the ground, and finally found out where the poison came from. ”

Jiang Hua, the third son of the Jiang family, who has been silent since the accident, couldn't help but move in his heart: "You mean that the murderer put poison into the dates?" ”

The official immediately said: "Yes, after the subordinates found that the dates were poisonous, they immediately ordered them to conduct a detailed examination, and finally found that in addition to this one is poisonous, there are two other thirteen dates that are poisonous, which shows that the murderer's time to commit the crime is not enough, so that he cannot poison every date, of course, this also shows that he is very close to the Duchess of the country to have such an opportunity." ”

Jiang Hua slowly shook his head and said, "He doesn't need to poison every date at all, he just needs to make sure that the poisonous one is eaten by my grandmother!" This man has such a vicious mind! ”

Just when they mentioned dates, Li Weiyang's expression had changed, and the change was very small, except for Li Minde, who was standing beside her, no one even noticed this.

The next moment, the originally weak lady of the Li family suddenly stood up, her face was pale like white snow on the branches, she stumbled slightly, and the sandalwood beside her was hurriedly and firmly supported, and she lost her voice and said: "Third sister, why do you want to hurt your grandmother!" ”

When this voice came out, everyone looked at Li Weiyang.

Although Li Weiyang's complexion did not change much, the coolness in his eyes was no different from this ice and snow: "Eldest sister, what do you mean by this!" ”

The crown princess's eyebrows jumped, but her face was calm: "Miss Li, don't talk about it!" ”

Concubine Jiang Lan stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "Crown Princess, you haven't heard her finish yet, how do you know that she is talking!" Changle, keep talking! ”

The crown princess snorted indifferently and said, "It's okay! Miss Li, you make it clear, what is the meaning of the Lord of Anping County who killed the Duchess of the Kingdom. ”

Tears rolled down Li Changle's eyes, as if she couldn't believe it herself, and pointed at Li Weiyang and said, "You...... It was you who handed the fruit bowl to your grandmother, and you watched her eat the dates, and no one but you could have touched them—"

Li Weiyang's expression was cold, his eyes rolled on her face, and he said coldly: "Eldest sister, you are wrong, in addition to me, there is also our mother who touched the fruit bowl, she handed me the fruit bowl first, not to mention, the girls in this house must have also touched the fruit bowl, if not, did this fruit bowl fly into the house by themselves?!" ”

Li Changle said angrily: "But they have no reason to harm their grandmother, mother and grandmother have always been close, and the girls around them are also loyal, they will never do such a thing!" ”

Tuoba Yu heard it wrong, and immediately scolded: "Miss Li, you have no evidence, why did you say such vicious words!" ”

Li Changle showed a fierce look, her eyes were like a sharp sword, she couldn't wait to stab two blood holes in Li Weiyang's face, and continued to say hatefully: "It's what I saw with my own eyes, and everyone in the room saw it with my own eyes!" Mother, did you see my third sister handing the dates to the old lady? ”

Jiang Yuelan showed a look of surprise on her face, and after pondering carefully for a moment, she replied, "This ...... It's true! ”

Li Changle looked at the few girls who had been serving beside the Duchess of Guo, they looked at each other, carefully recalling the scene at that time, but they could only nod their heads in agreement.

"What Miss Watch said was that only the county lord held the fruit plate for the longest time at that time!"

"Yes, the old lady took the date from her!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Only the county lord can have a chance to poison him! What's more, no one else would have murdered the old lady! ”

Everyone thought that Li Weiyang was poisoned, because at that time in that small flower hall, she was the only one who had such a motive, Li Changle was the granddaughter of the old lady, and as soon as the Duchess died, most of her backstage collapsed, and there was no need to murder her backer in order to wronged Li Weiyang. And the same is true for Jiang Yuelan, she was able to marry into the Li family by virtue of the power of the Jiang family and quickly gained a foothold, what reason did she have to kill the Duchess of the Kingdom? As for the girls in the Jiang Mansion, it is even more impossible. But Li Weiyang is different, she had a lot of trouble with the Jiang family in the Golden Palace for Jiang Nan's affairs, especially when everyone heard about the fact that the Duchess scolded her at that time, maybe she held a grudge because of this, so she took advantage of this birthday banquet to find an opportunity to kill the Duchess Guo...... This inference seems reasonable, and the only one who has the motive to have the opportunity to kill the Duchess of Guo is Li Weiyang!

Everyone's suspicious eyes looked at Li Weiyang like a sharp sword, and even Old Madam Li showed an expression of disbelief: "Weiyang, what the hell is going on?!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at Li Changle coldly and said, "Eldest sister, did you say that I poisoned my grandmother?" Just because I've touched that fruit bowl before? Or is it because I used to be at odds with my grandmother? Even so, I don't need to kill her in front of so many people, am I not afraid that I will be exposed afterwards and affect myself? ”

Li Changle's voice was trembling, as if he couldn't stand steadily: "Third sister, I didn't expect that you are still quibbling at this time, maybe you are just taking advantage of the lively birthday banquet to do it, and you want to take advantage of the chaos and escape punishment, if it wasn't for the abnormality found on the dead mouse just now, it would be difficult for anyone to think that the dates are poisonous!" Everything my grandmother ate was strictly inspected before it was put on the table, so there would be no problems! But this can only last until you enter the flower hall, and when you poison it, it will be different! ”

Li Weiyang looked at Li Changle's vicious eyes, suddenly sneered, and said, "Eldest sister, your imagination is too rich!" Since you say I was poisoned, then by what means did I poison it? I must have poison on me, right? Where's the poison?! Is it inside my skirt? ”

Li Changle stared at her with a condensed face, and said word by word: "Third sister, since you swear that you didn't poison you, do you dare to let people check it?" ”

Li Minde looked at Li Changle's determined expression, and couldn't help sneering, but he just lowered his head and didn't speak, this play is so exciting, Li Changle was able to come up with such a trick to blame Li Weiyang, it was really thanks to her stupid brain! Thinking about it, everyone will definitely think that no one in this world will blame others with their lives, and of course the Duchess will not, so the murderer must be in the flower hall, and now, the only person who has a grudge against the Duchess has become the target of public criticism.

Tuoba Yu frowned, and was the first to say: "Miss Li, there is no basis for your words, you have to search your body based on your own guesses, it is too arbitrary!" ”

Li Changle didn't even look at him, just stared at Li Weiyang aggressively, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes: "Third sister, do you dare to prove your innocence?!" ”

Li Weiyang looked at her, a faint mockery gradually appeared on his face, and the mockery looked in Li Changle's eyes, and he thought that the other party had been forced to a dead end by her, and couldn't help but continue: "If you don't dare, you can only prove-"

Li Weiyang stood up slowly and methodically, and said, "I have a clear conscience, why don't I dare?" ”

Li Changle's face showed a peculiar smile, this smile made Sun Yanjun, who was watching from the side, feel a strange feeling inexplicably, as if Li Changle expected to be able to find something from Li Weiyang's body, but how could this be possible? Sun Yanjun walked up to Li Weiyang's side, stopped her and said, "Miss Li, you are so aggressive, do you want Weiyang to be searched in public?" ”

Li Changle sneered and said, "Of course, you don't have to search in public, the crown princess is here, as long as she is there, she can testify, just find a room alone and search well!" ”

Li Weiyang's dark and cold eyes lightly scraped her face, and said with a smile: "Okay! If you want to search, you should search them all, what if there are fish that slip through the net? The eldest sister is so selfless, she must not mind. As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yuelan and the others, who had also stayed in the flower hall, revealing an inquiring look.

Old Madam Li spoke: "Indeed, this matter cannot be confirmed by the suspicion of Changle alone, if it is not obtained by people, it will be too unconvincing." But if only one person is searched, it is too unfair. Since you want to search, you should search them all together. She obviously helped Li Weiyang, and this matter is not trivial, if ordinary people encounter it, they would have become panicked, but Li Weiyang is very calm, Mrs. Li can't help but hope that she does have a way to prove her innocence.

Li Changle sneered lightly, with a little contempt: "Grandmother, not only the third sister, but me, the girls in the house, and even the mother, can all be searched!" Why don't you ask the crown princess to testify? ”

The crown princess glanced at Li Weiyang, pondered for a moment, and said, "What does the prince think?" ”

The prince nodded and said, "This is the fairest, come and prepare an empty room immediately." ”

The crown princess stood up and said, "It is the most fair for me to go and see it in person, by the way, is Concubine Lan interested in going together?" ”

Jiang Lan had no choice but to stand up and say, "The crown princess is invited first." ”

Everyone looked at this scene, and their faces showed a slight chill. If something really finds out later, it will be the murder of Mrs. Yipin of the imperial court, a natural capital crime, although Li Weiyang swore that he was not guilty, but if evidence was found on her......

Old Madam Li's face was the most worried, and she vaguely felt that today's events were very strange. It seems that someone deliberately targeted Li Weiyang, but she really didn't understand that it was good for everyone for the Duchess to be alive, whether it was Li Changle or the Jiang family, it was impossible to frame Li Weiyang by plotting to kill her, what is the difference between this and killing chickens and eggs? No one here would do such a stupid thing!

Li Changle was the first to be searched, and the crown princess ordered someone to carefully check her clothes, sachets, and even the hair ornaments on her head to look over and over again, but nothing was found, followed by Jiang Yuelan and the other girls, but in the same way, nothing was found on their bodies, and the last one was Li Weiyang. Because of everyone's suspicion, she was also inspected for the longest time, and when she came out, it was already half an hour later, and everyone saw the princess leading her out, and couldn't help asking, "Did you find anything?" ”

Li Changle sneered and looked at the crown princess, she would definitely find out, she had this confidence! However, the crown princess shook her head and said lightly: "No, nothing." ”

Li Changle's smile seemed to be frozen by frost for a moment, but there was still a smile between his eyebrows, but his lips were already angry. Her smile and anger were originally extremely beautiful, but now they have become a strange and delicate face, which makes people feel more and more chilled, she immediately looked at the maid named Hanxiang, just now she led Li Weiyang to change the skirt that was wet with tea - but Hanxiang's face also showed shock and dazed at this moment, it must be a business trip, how could nothing be searched?! I asked that girl to sew the medicine into the gap between the curls of her skirt! Li Changle didn't think much about it anymore, and stepped forward first: "Even if you can't find anything, you can't prove the innocence of the third sister!" ”

Li Xiaoran scolded angrily: "Changle! How do you speak?! "He didn't want to help Li Weiyang, but at this time, Li Weiyang was related to the reputation of the Li family!

Li Changle looked at Li Xiaoran sadly and said, "Father, do you want me to watch my grandmother, who has loved me since childhood, die in vain?" ”

Li Xiaoran said coldly: "Changle, then what do you want!" Let Jing Zhaoyin bring your sister back to the Yamen? ”

Li Changle's white teeth bit lightly, as if unintentionally: "Before the facts are clearly recognized, I can only wronged the third sister." ”

Old Madam Li was the first to object: "This is not good, where is the reason for our young lady to enter the yamen!" ”

Jiang Xu said with a frosty face: "Old Madam Li, this matter is related to my mother's life!" If you refuse to give an explanation, we will not give up! ”

The prince also looked embarrassed: "In this way, it really needs to trouble the county lord of Anping to return to the yamen with Lord Yao." ”

Jingzhao Yin Yamen is not a place where ordinary people can go? Li Weiyang is everyone's lady and the lord of Anping County, if she enters the yamen, even if she can come out safely, she will become the laughing stock of the whole Kyoto. Tuoba Yu frowned, and was about to speak for Li Weiyang, but he heard Li Weiyang speak first.

Li Weiyang faced layers of coercion, but said slowly: "Eldest sister, do you really want to find out the cause of your grandmother's death?" ”

Li Changle's expression was cold, and he said sharply: "This is natural, I will never let the murderer go unpunished!" ”

Li Weiyang showed a smile that seemed to be smiling, and Li Changle couldn't help but be angry. Li Minde's eyes on the side changed and changed, and finally sank into a bottomless abyss, and he slowly said with a calm face: "Since the eldest sister insists on this, I have a good idea." ”

Everyone looked at this handsome Li Sangongzi, who was so handsome that people didn't dare to look at him directly, his gaze was colder than the snow in the cold winter: "As long as the autopsy is conducted, more clues can be found, and it will not just stick to the so-called dates, but can further know when the Duchess was poisoned and who poisoned it." ”

Li Changle's face turned pale, and he only felt a chill rise in his palm, and said loudly: "No!" ”

This sound attracted the attention of Jiang Hua, the third son of Jiang, and his eyes looked at this cousin carefully, and seemed to be in deep thought.

Without waiting for others to speak, Li Changle had already realized her gaffe, and she hurriedly said: "My grandmother has died, so she should be buried properly, how can I move her body?" It's so disrespectful! ”

Yao Changqing was also shaking his head, of course he knew that the autopsy should be performed, but judging from the practice of this dynasty, the work was only used to check the physical evidence, and at the same time, the corpse was only examined on the surface of the body, not an autopsy. In the past, he also encountered a case where a man named Zhou Cheng went to a friend's house to drink, and when he returned home, he had a huge pain in his abdomen, and he couldn't help vomiting again and again, and actually spit out more than a dozen poisonous insects from his mouth. When he saw that he vomited so many insects, he was so frightened that he had a nervous breakdown, and when he was dying, he told his wife Zhang that when he died, he would open his stomach to see what kind of insects were doing the trick, and find evidence to sue the friend who was behind his back.

In accordance with her husband's wishes, Cheung personally dissected the body after her husband's death. After the neighbors found out about this, they went to Yao Changqing to accuse her of destroying her husband's body. Although this incident was excusable, Yao Changqing still arrested Zhang, and in addition, because Zhou Cheng's son Zhou Jin did not stop his mother from destroying his father's body, even he was arrested together.

The law of the Great Calendar only stipulates that whoever injures a dead body shall be punished with four years of hard labor; A wife who injures her husband shall be sentenced to five years' hard labour; If a son is not filial to his parents, he shall be sentenced to death. None of these three laws can be directly applied to this case, Yao Changqing disagreed with Shi Daren, who was the secretary of the Criminal Department at the time, on this matter, he believed that Zhang was reluctant to obey her husband's last words, and Zhou Jin, as a son, had no reason to stop him. Considering the motive for this incident, it was not to brutally hurt her husband's body, and it should be lenient.

However, Master Shi felt that Zhou Jin had committed the crime of unfilial piety, and Zhang should be dealt with as a case of a wife hurting her husband. The result of their rivalry with each other was judged by the emperor, and the emperor did not think too much about it, and soon ordered the case to be judged according to the opinion of the secretary of the criminal department: both of them were capital crimes-now, he actually encountered this kind of thing again, he subconsciously looked at Zhang Hui, who is now the secretary of the criminal department, and the other party was the proud disciple of the original master Shi-

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhang Hui was furious and said: "County Lord Anping, don't you know that the autopsy is a humiliation of the deceased?!" Or don't you know that my mentor has ever sentenced such a case! Don't you know the will of His Majesty at that time?! For the sake of your young age and ignorance, the official doesn't care about you, don't talk nonsense anymore! ”

This case is very bizarre, it was very sensational at the beginning, and even Huangkou Xiaoer knew about it. Li Weiyang smiled slightly and said, "Dare to ask your lordship, what was the purpose of the original verdict that Zhang was guilty?" ”

Zhang Hui immediately said: "Of course, it's because she opened the coffin for an autopsy-"

Li Weiyang smiled: "No, it's because she dissected the corpse without permission!" The so-called destruction of her husband's body is his sin! If she is a public dissection through the official government, it will not be a sin, but a redress for her husband! What's more, although the legal code of this dynasty does not say that the deceased must be autopsied, it does not say that the autopsy must not be performed! His Majesty's decree only says that a woman should not destroy her husband's body in private, and she is not allowed to ask the government to conduct an autopsy, right?! ”

Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he was suddenly dumbfounded, he coughed heavily twice and said: "Even so, the family of the deceased must agree!" Master Jiang, do you agree?! ”

Jiang Xu's face was pale: "Killing corpses and abandoning bones, the capital punishment of the ancients!" Of course not! "Not to mention the autopsy of the body, that is, exposing the body of a loved one in front of everyone for examination, it will also be regarded as a great shame and a desecration of the body of a loved one.

Li Weiyang looked at them coldly and said, "Don't you want to find out the cause of your grandmother's death?" Isn't it to give her a clean slate? What does it mean to obstruct in every possible way now? I know that although the code of my calendar does not stipulate that the autopsy must be performed and buried, what is the reason why you would rather see the murderer of your grandmother go unpunished than have an autopsy?! Are you willing to shield the murderer?! ”

Jiang Hai said angrily: "Li Weiyang! You've gone too far! My grandmother died before her death, and she was already unfortunate, and you said that you were avenging my grandmother, but it was clear that you wanted to harm her and be shaven and steam her muscles after her death, and then be poisoned, your heart is really vicious, how can you bear it! ”

Li Changle couldn't cry and said: "Yes, third sister, why are you so ruthless!" ”

------Off topic------

Editor: Everyone seems to think that the Duchess of Guo wanted to design Li Weiyang to wrongfully blame her death when he touched the dates......

Xiao Qin: There are many people in this room who have touched dates, how can they use this method...... I don't deny that she set a trap to harm Weiyang, but, it's not this trap, some questions in these two chapters will be explained below, don't be so anxious to pump me ==

Edit: It's okay, I thought you had to be kicked in the head by a donkey to write a god-like plot

Xiao Qin: I don't mind if you lead the pig to kick me again-
