Chapter 167: The True Murderer Hides
The news of Lu Ting's killing soon reached Lu Lan's ears.
"Niangniang, the troubles have been removed, now you can rest assured." Rong Wan looked at Lu Lan with a satisfied smile and greeted her.
"Does the emperor notice it?" Lu Lan smiled and asked suspiciously.
"Foolproof, Qin Ziheng has already found a scapegoat, and he will definitely not be involved in himself."
Lu Lan nodded, and only then did she really feel at ease, with Qin Ziheng, Lu Lan was like a tiger with wings, and she was much more comfortable doing these things.
In the Chongzheng Palace, the atmosphere of Yan Qinghan and others is very different from that of Shoukang Palace.
"Who do you think is responsible?" Yan Qinghan looked directly at a few people and asked in a solemn voice.
"According to what the minister saw, as soon as Lu Ting died, it was not only the people involved behind him who were proud, but also the Queen Mother." Su Que opened his mouth first and guessed.
"The Queen Mother?" Yan Qinghan shook his head and said, "Since the Queen Mother has already ordered him to be executed, why would she go to such great lengths to let people sneak into the prison to kill him, and now that people have been caught, this is not the Queen Mother's style of doing things." ”
When Jun Rong heard Yan Qinghan's words, he was secretly proud in his heart, if even Yan Qinghan didn't believe that it was the Queen Mother Lu Lan who did it, then he didn't have to worry about anything.
And Xiaoyi stood on the side, staring at Jun Rong all the time, Jun Rong looked indifferent and peaceful, and seemed to be nothing suspicious, but it was like this, which made Xiao Yi feel even more strange, he always vaguely felt that this matter must have nothing to do with him.
"That's it, don't make too much noise about this matter, interrogate the person who is caught, and be sure to find out this person for me, even if it is not Lu Ting who he killed, it is impossible for him to have nothing to do with Lu Ting!"
If Yan Qinghan investigates this matter thoroughly with such fanfare, I am afraid that it will startle the snake, and those who are faintly about to move will also hide in the depths, and the news will not be revealed at all.
As soon as Lu Ting died, the people of the Lu clan also stopped moving, after all, it would not be beneficial to anyone if the matter became bigger.
In the dungeon, the cell smelled strange, and the space was very dim, and several oil seals on both sides flashed with a faint light. Because there is no daylight all year round, even the air is turbid, and there is a smell of death around it.
"Tell me, who sent you to kill!" The jailer, whipping his whip in his hand, shouted at the man in the chair.
This person is the person who was caught by Lu Ting's side just now, at this moment, his whole body was covered with whip marks, his eyes were scattered, and his mouth kept repeating the words at that time, "I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it..."
When the jailer saw that he was about to faint, he ordered someone to bring a bucket of cold water and poured it at him, and the biting chill hit him, and the man instantly came to his senses.
"I'll see if it's your hard mouth or my whip!" As he spoke, he raised his whip and whipped it.
"Ahh
"It's really not me, it's another person, it was that person who killed it, and that person had already killed Lu Ting when I arrived!" It's just that his words sounded like quibbles to the jailer, and he was greeted with several lashes.
"You said that it wasn't you, then you broke into the prison at night, and your purpose was not pure, saying, who sent you!" The jailer stopped the whip and pressed again. E-Book Workshop
The man still couldn't resist the torture and invited him to act, "Yes... Yes.." But before the words could be spoken, the man suddenly spat blood from his mouth, his face was hideous, and he did not react.
The jailer had already died of exhaustion when he was probing his breathing.
"Someone, go and report to the emperor quickly, the person is dead."
Although the jailer had tortured him, it was impossible for him to be put to death.
When Yan Qinghan and the others arrived, the body was in the cell.
"How did you die?" Yan Qing asked in a solemn voice, this accident after accident had exhausted his patience.
"Your Majesty, the little one tortured him according to your orders, who knows, the little one didn't treat him much, he spit blood from his mouth and lost his breath."
The jailer was afraid that this man's death would implicate him, so he said in fear.
Xiaoyi walked to the corpse, examined it carefully, got up and said, "Your Majesty, this person died of poisoning, and he was poisoned early in the morning. ”
Hearing what Xiaoyi said, Su Que also echoed: "It seems that the person who sent him didn't intend to let him live at all. ”
Yan Qinghan raised his eyes and saw that the man's lips were purple and his face was pale, and it was true that he had been poisoned and died.
"Looks like I'm underestimating them."
Yan Qing's cold eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
"Come on, deal with him." Yan Qing said coldly, then turned around and left.
This matter undoubtedly came to an empty end again, although this time was not in vain, but it did not achieve Yan Qinghan's goal.
Looking back to before Lu Ting's death, when they arrived, when Qin Ziheng sealed the man's acupoint, he had already pierced a poisonous needle behind the person, and the poisonous needle extended into the body, if they didn't dissect the body and examine it carefully, this silver needle would never be found.
When Xiaoyi and Junrong returned to the General's Mansion, Xiaoyi suddenly asked, "Do you know what kind of poison is in that person?" ”
"Does the general know?" Jun Rong looked at Xiaoyi and asked rhetorically.
Xiaoyi shook his head and said lightly, "I don't know." ”
"The general doesn't know, so how can his subordinates know." Jun Rong said indifferently.
Xiao Yi looked at him again with deep meaning, and said with a light smile: "However, I know that this poisoner must not be an ordinary person, or maybe he is the real murderer who killed Lu Ting." ”
Jun Rong smiled back and did not speak.
