After seeing Gong Mei, Lord Ling Kunling suddenly lay on the table, completely lacking the proper demeanor of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and everyone in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, Ling Kun was sorting out his unusually chaotic thoughts.

He has seen Gong Mei once, and that time after Zhang Jiaotian was beaten in Jingxiang Building, he sent this Gong Mei to report to the official, that is to say, Gong Mei and Zhang Jiaotian are in a group, and Zhang Jiaotian and Zhao Yuanxi are in a group. In this way, Gong Mei's troubles in the Shouwang Mansion are completely well-founded.

On the contrary, if the death of the second prince is really related to Gong Mei's mandarin duck pot, then it must have something to do with Zhang Jiaotian's brothers and sisters. Although I don't know why Zhang Jiaotian poisoned his backer, it is an important clue after all.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and ordered: "First beat Gong Mei to a hundred kills and put him in prison pending trial." Chen Zhutou immediately went to arrest Zhang Jiaotian back. Mr. Gongsun, follow me to Nangong to inspect the scene.

Ling Kun came to Nangong, and all the eating and drinking utensils had been sealed that night and were guarded by special personnel.

Gongsun Xian looked at the neatly arranged cups and plates, and sighed: "My lord, I'm afraid there are no clues here." ”

Ling Kun didn't speak, looked around carefully a few times and asked, "Where is the wine jug?" Where did the flask that night go? ”

The military commander in charge of guarding the scene came over and said, "My lord, I have never seen a wine jug. ”

Ling Kun nodded and said, "Go back." ”

After rushing back to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhang Jiaotian had already been arrested and locked up in prison pending trial. Ling Kun immediately ascended to the hall and brought Gong Mei with him.

Gong Mei had been killed a hundred times at the moment, and she was so painful that she was alive, and when she saw Ling Kun almost peeing her pants, she shouted again and again: "My lord, the grass people are wronged." ”

Ling Kun patted the stunned wood and said: "Gong Mei, explain the matter between you and Zhang Jiaotian to the official from beginning to end, if you have half a word of lie, Lao Tzu will kill you with a guillotine." ”

Ling Kun unconsciously associated Kaifeng Mansion with the guillotine, in fact, there is no guillotine now. However, this statement frightened Gong Mei into distraction, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The adults spare their lives, and the villains all confess, the Shouwang Mansion was Zhang Jiaotian who asked the villain to make trouble, and he gave the villain a hundred taels of silver, and the White Lotus Sect has nothing to do with the villain, so that they can use the villain to play on the topic." ”

"What about the mandarin duck pot?" Ling Kun asked coldly.

"Mandarin duck pot? Oh, yes, and the mandarin duck pot, he said he was very interested in the mandarin duck pot, and asked me to make him a play, originally I didn't agree, and then he gave me another hundred taels of silver, and I ....... Gong Mei cried bitterly, his body was like sifting chaff, he didn't know what was going on, but he probably guessed that Zhang Jiaotian had killed people with a mandarin duck pot.

Ling Kun let the master book record the confession, and Gong Mei signed and was later imprisoned.

Immediately, Zhang Jiaotian was taken to the lobby. Without King Xu's support, Zhang Jiaotian was much more well-behaved, and knelt in the lobby to say goodbye.

"Oh, isn't this the first tyrant in the capital, the big brother of society, Zhang Yanei?" Ling Kun laughed.

Zhang Jiaotian saw that the Kaifeng Mansion Yin in the hall turned out to be Ling Kun, and he was immediately frightened, trembling and kowtowing: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, villains don't dare to offend adults anymore." ”

Ling Kun slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Zhang Jiaotian, you tell me honestly, what did you do with the mandarin duck pot that Gong Mei gave you?" Where is the mandarin duck pot now? ”

Zhang Jiaotian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "My lord, the villain doesn't know what Gong Mei is, let alone what a mandarin duck pot is." ”

"It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, come on, bring me all the eighteen torture instruments of Kaifeng Mansion." As soon as Ling Kun's voice fell, the official came up with a torture instrument, and the head was a large pot of charcoal fire, which was burning with a red-hot soldering iron.

The official tied the trembling Zhang Jiaotian to the pillar, and slowly stretched out a soldering iron to him. Zhang Jiaotian howled like a pig in fright, and even peed his pants. But he still did not confess, because he knew that it would be a capital offense to confess.

The soldering iron clicked, and a puff of white smoke rose from Zhang Jiaotian's chest, and he fainted with a scream.

The official took a bucket of water and splashed it on Zhang Jiaotian's head, and he woke up quietly. At this moment, he saw the hot soldering iron on his chest, as well as all kinds of strange torture instruments in the hall, and felt that his body was not as good as death, so he might as well recruit a happy one, so he shouted: "I recruit, my lord, I will recruit them all." ”

Ling Kun waved his hand to stop the torture instrument and said, "Say it." ”

"It's my sister Zhang Yanyan, she wants to be King Xu's wife, and she will be able to be the queen after King Xu becomes the emperor in the future, but if Princess Xu is here, she won't have her share, so she wants to kill Princess Xu, I just heard Gong Mei say about the mandarin duck pot, so I asked Gong Mei to make a handful for her, who knows how she got it, Princess Xu didn't poison her, she poisoned King Xu." Zhang Jiaotian really poured beans into the bamboo tube, and explained all the things he planned to make trouble in the Shouwang Mansion and plot to poison Princess Xu.

Ling Kun decided to interrogate Zhang Yanyan immediately.

Zhang Yanyan has also been living in torment these days, but what she is tormenting is that as soon as King Xu dies, she no longer has a backer, and she doesn't know how to live the rest of her life. As for the murder, she didn't expect anyone to solve the case.

At the beginning, Zhang Yanyan was still a little nervous when the three divisions were interrogated, but after half a month of interrogation, she didn't even have any clues, so she was relieved. Also, who would have thought of something as mysterious as the mandarin duck pot?

But when she arrived in the lobby and saw the embarrassed Zhang Jiaotian, she was immediately shocked, and an ominous premonition filled her body.

Ling Kun slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Zhang Yanyan, are you guilty?" ”

Zhang Yanyan shuddered, and involuntarily knelt down and cried: "My lord, the concubine is wronged." ”

Zhang Jiaotian sighed on the side: "Sister, recruit it, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin, Gong Mei and I have already recruited." ”

Zhang Yanyan was shocked, her eyes were dark, and she was about to plant it. The officer's hands were quick, and a scoop of cold water was poured directly on her head. She shuddered, and then eased up.

"Zhang Yanyan, don't you say it, do you want Lord Ben to punish you?"

Zhang Yanyan's face was like ashes, and when she saw that she couldn't hide it, she simply confessed: "My lord, I did it, King Xu was killed by me, but I didn't mean to, it was an accident." ”

"In detail."

Zhang Yanyan lowered her head and said slowly: "Over the years, I have helped King Xu clear the threat of King and King Shou, and helped him walk on the edge of the throne step by step, and King Xu also loves me the most, so I should be his wife." But Princess Xu stood in front of us alive, lying in bed every day sick and trying to take away everything that should have belonged to me, I was unwilling. ”

"That night, I personally poured wine for the princes with a mandarin duck pot, and poured good wine for everyone, but I poured poisonous wine for Princess Xu, and it was a chronic poison, I thought that God could kill the princess without knowing it. I didn't expect ....... When Zhang Yanyan said this, she gritted her teeth, and was seriously full of resentment.

"Go on." Ling Kun shouted.
