The woman's eyes were as bright as stars, and she stood upright with her hands in the palatial imperial study. Under the gaze of the most noble people in the entire Northern Xia, they were neither humble nor arrogant, and they talked eloquently.

"That's Ying Tianjiao!"

"Ying Tianjiao is the key to matching the marriage. The other three Duan princesses died during the prevalence of Yingtianjiao, but three years ago, Yingtianjiao had disappeared from Yanjing. Let's ask, how can Xiao Wan complete the marriage of the match? ”

The crowd frowned and said nothing. Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that the so-called marriage is a bit child's play?

"Since this case involves Ying Tianjiao, the minister also launched an investigation into Ying Tianjiao, and finally found that the rumors of Ying Tiandao's ascension were a scam at all, and Ying Tiandao people are still in the world. Not only that, there are many Ying Tianjiao disciples under him, and they are all by his side, and this matter, Jiang Xiaoye of the Dingguo Mansion can testify. The minister had already mastered the whereabouts of Ying Tiandao and had a secret conversation with him, in which he confessed to the deaths of the first three princesses, claiming that he had received their money to fulfill their wishes. However, he resolutely denied Xiao Wan's death, saying that since he was incognito, he has never crossed paths with people he knew before, let alone Xiao Wan, so it is nonsense to say that he is married to heaven. ”

"Wan'er, my Wan'er." Xiao Guifei suddenly sobbed, pressed a handkerchief to the corner of her eyes and whimpered: "It turns out that you died so miserably." ”

"Su'er." The mournful scream of the woman beside him made Emperor Beixia frown fiercely, and he stretched out his arm to take Xiao Guifei into his arms. replaced the handkerchief in Concubine Xiao's hand with a pair of big palms, and kept wiping her tears: "Don't worry, I will definitely give justice to the Xiao family." ”

"It's just some one-sided statements, and there is still no evidence to say it. Jun Qinglan, your method of handling the case this time is inevitably too gentle, and it will inevitably be disappointing. Empress Zhang's gaze lifted slightly, and inadvertently skimmed over the faces of the pair of men and women above, without being moved.

"Queen!" Emperor Beixia said in a cold voice: "You have forgotten my orders!" ”

"Sorry for the tightness." Empress Zhang hooked the corners of her lips slightly: "The concubine couldn't help but open her mouth when she saw that the concubine was emotional, and she was also a little forgetful, and the concubine would pay attention." ”

Emperor Beixia frowned, knowing that Empress Zhang threw a soft nail to him, but he had no position to refute it. It was indeed Concubine Xiao who spoke first, and since he did not criticize Concubine Xiao, he naturally had no possibility of disposing of the queen. Although Empress Zhang is a well-known ornament, she has always been the queen. You still have to save face in front of people.

"The queen's worries are not unreasonable." At the critical moment, it was Jun Qinglan who pulled everyone out of the embarrassing quagmire.

The minister also thought that Ying Tiandaoren's words were not credible, so he thought about asking him to testify in court in the future. However, just a few hours after the day the minister met him, Ying Tiandao died. His body appeared on the Yingtiantai in Yanjing City. This incident is quite sensational, I believe that the emperor should have heard of it, and the person in charge of handling this case is Lord Zhang Qian, the commander of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses. ”

Jun Qinglan peeked at Queen Zhang, the person calmly stared at the red gold armor on his fingertips, as if he was bored, and he didn't care about the Zhang family's proudest brother at all?

"What you said, Zhang Qian has already made an excerpt to me. What are your thoughts on this? ”

Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes, the emperor is really not an easy person to deal with. He only said that Zhang Qian was on the fold, but he didn't tell her what Zhang Qian had written. Just let her talk about it herself, if her remarks are completely different from Zhang Qian's, I'm afraid that ...... It doesn't have to take a lot of time.

"The minister thinks it's killing people and killing people." Say less, make fewer mistakes.

"Oh?" Emperor Beixia raised his eyebrows: "You and Zhang Qian coincide, let's talk about it, how to kill a vendetta?" ”

Jun Qinglan was taken aback, she never expected that Zhang Qian would also say that it was a vendetta. However, what the two of them said would never be a vendetta.

"The minister thinks that the death of Ying Tiandao is inextricably linked to the marriage case of Tiandao. Chen and Jiang Xiaoye were ordered to investigate the case secretly, although we acted carefully, there is absolutely no impermeable wall in the world. Xiao Wan died in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and there were not a few people who saw her body that day, and there were not a few people who saw the arrival of the minister and Duan Wangye later, and this matter will inevitably fall into the ears of those who have a heart. The matter of the minister's meeting with the Ying Tiandao person must have been known by that person. That man must also be afraid that Ying Tiandao people would say something that should not be said, so he attacked first and killed him. Therefore, they set up suspicions and made some unbelievable illusions in an attempt to confuse the public. ”

At that time, the minister already faintly felt that the real culprit who caused the marriage case was a person with hands and eyes, at least he knew the progress of the investigation well, otherwise, the time of death of the Ying Tiandao people would not have been so coincidental. The minister had just met him, and he died immediately, and such a time really had to make people think about it. ”

Xiao Guifei gritted her teeth: "Have you found out who it is?" This palace will not make him feel better! ”

After returning from Ying Tiantai, the minister did have some thoughts about the identity of that person in his heart, but there was no conclusive evidence. Until the other day, when the heavy snow suddenly fell...... Speaking of this, Jun Qinglan's voice suddenly paused, and he fell to his knees with a pop: "The minister dared to ask the emperor and the noble concubine to forgive the minister's action, this action may be a little reckless, but it is the most critical part of solving this case." If you want the minister to choose now, the minister will still do it. ”

Xiao Guifei frowned: "What did you do?" You actually want to ask this palace for guilt? ”

"Tell me about it." Emperor Beixia opened his mouth indifferently: "I have my own thoughts. ”

It's really the same as not saying it! The so-called self-thinking, if someone is unhappy, she has to ask her to move her head. But can she not say it? The answer is obvious, no.

Jun Qinglan sighed secretly in her heart, Jiang Yufan, this time you owe a lot of favors.

"The minister did not ask the emperor to privately make an assertion and conduct an autopsy for Miss Xiao Wan."

"What did you say?" Xiao Guifei glared, her voice was as sharp as forbearance, and her long armor trembled and pointed at Jun Qinglan: "You actually ...... Actually...... Actually....... ”

"This king thinks that the most concerned thing about the concubine is Xiao Wan's cause of death, and it doesn't matter what method she uses as long as she gets the truth. It turns out that the so-called sisterhood can't match her face after all? Li Congyao opened his mouth without warning, although his voice was as calm as ever. But with undisguised sarcasm.

Concubine Xiao's voice paused: "The cousin of this palace is Yun Ying's unmarried daughter. How can you be ...... You lowly man ...... in vain. ”

"Since Xiao Wan has made up her mind with this king, she no longer has anything to do with your Xiao family. This king has not spoken yet, and what position does the mother rely on to speak? ”

After Li Congyao said this, the imperial study suddenly became quiet for a while. Everyone knows that Xiao Wan has not passed the door, but the emperor has indeed made an order, and nominally Xiao Wan is indeed Li Congyao's future princess. Everyone knew that he was talking nonsense in order to save Jun Qinglan, but they couldn't find half a word to refute.

"Huh." Empress Zhang's eyes moved half an inch away from her fingertips, and she looked at Li Congyao with a smile: "This palace didn't know that King Duan was such an amorous person." If this palace is not mistaken, Jun Qinglan seems to have a lot to do with you. If you say such a thing in front of him, are you not afraid that he will be sad? ”

"What do you have to do with the Queen?"

A few simple words choked on Queen Zhang, and she couldn't speak for a long time. Her eyes narrowed more and more, staring at Li Congyao for a moment, making people look at the meaningless ...... Dangerous.

"Jun Qinglan, you are also acting like this to seek justice for Xiao Wan. Since King Duan does not intend to hold you accountable, I will also forgive you. Let's tell us more about the results of the autopsy. ”

"Yes." Jun Qinglan quickly glanced at Li Congyao, the man had already closed his eyes again and went to sleep. She sighed in her heart, she really has a personality, and she doesn't even give people a chance to express her thanks.

She took a deep breath, looked at Emperor Beixia and Concubine Xiao Guifei, and said, "The minister found an important piece of evidence in Xiao Wan's abdomen. It was this thing that allowed the minister to discover the true cause of her death, and also allowed the minister to find out the real culprit behind her death. This evidence has been brought by the minister, please take a look at it. ”

She took out the ring with pearls and handed it to Liu Quanzhong, and when Liu Quanzhong put the tray on the table, Xiao Guifei's body shrank significantly, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief. It seems that he is very disgusted with the things that come out of the stomach of the dead, and he refuses to look at them carefully.

Emperor Beixia only glanced at it in a hurry, and ordered Liu Quanzhong to cover the ring.

"How did this ring become the key to solving your case?"

"The minister just said that Xiao Wan looks very similar to the death of a poisonous hair. She roared with a silver needle, and there was indeed venom left in her throat, which changed the color of the silver needle. But her death was completely different from that of a beggar, her face was hideous and painful, and there was no black blood flowing from her mouth and nose. Chen Zeng was puzzled, and could not find any kind of poison that was in such a posture at the time of death, until he found this thing in her belly. ”

Jun Qinglan raised her hand and pointed to the tray: "That ring is made of pure gold. The weight of gold is very heavy, and if it is swallowed, it will cause people to die in their intestines. Xiao Wan's real cause of death was because of swallowing gold. And the hideousness on her face is precisely because the gold has broken through her stomach. This kind of death is quite painful. ”

"You're a little unconvincing." Empress Zhang opened her mouth slowly: "You yourself just said that poison is poison that seals the throat. Since Xiao Wan had already taken the poison, with the speed at which it attacked, why did she have to swallow another gold ring to commit suicide? ”

Emperor Beixia did not stop Empress Zhang because she opened her mouth this time, as if he also thought that what Empress Zhang said was very reasonable.

"That's because Xiao Wan has already swallowed the ring. The people who tried to poison her did not know that she had a ring hidden in her belly, and still forcibly poured poison on her. However, before the poison attacked, Xiao Wan had already died due to the fall of gold, which is the reason why she had poison hidden in her throat, but it did not meet any sign of poison death. The minister later probed Xiao Wan's abdomen with a silver needle, and the silver needle did not change color, which showed that the poison only reached her throat and did not enter her abdomen. ”

"As for who was the real culprit who ordered the poisoning of Xiao Wan that day." Jun Qinglan hooked her lips and smiled slightly, and when she raised her eyes again, she had become as condensed as ice: "It's you!" ”
