Wei Chang poured Huang Qiuhua a glass of wine.

"I have never treated you as a criminal, and the more I investigate the case, the more I respect you, I know that you are a person who values feelings and is responsible. If it weren't for your reputation, I would have solved this case a long time ago. Maybe you think I'm bragging, but I only need to mention a few people's names, and I think you can understand that I'm not playing tricks, Feng Qiaoxi, Huang Lao Beggar, Lin Chongyang. ”

After saying these words, Wei Chang lowered his head and ate the vegetables.

Huang Qiuhua sighed and said, "Since you said so, I am also relieved." ”

Wei Chang said: "But there is one thing I still don't understand, why did you kill your own son? ”

Huang Qiuhua suddenly hid his face and wept, his shoulders trembled and said, "He has the same disease as me, but he had an attack earlier than me." There is no cure for this disease, and life is worse than death, so why live any longer. ”

Wei Chang said: "Yes, you have paid too much for the Huang family. You have designed such a case that, in the eyes of others, has nothing to do with your real purpose. And during the whole process, Qi Qi and I were also played around. I have to admit, you're really smart. ”

Huang Qiuhua nodded.

It turned out that Wei Chang got information from the nightingale that the real reason why Huang Qiuhua wanted to kill his father was for the sake of Concubine Zhaorong Huang Qiushui.

In fact, Zhaorong is only one of the nine concubines, and everyone often calls it a concubine, mostly some honorific titles.

A month ago, Concubine Dehui passed away, and one of them was to be promoted to concubine from the fourth grade Jieyu (two) and Ronghua (two). The competition in the harem is fierce, and it can even be described as miserable.

At this stall, the relatives are also constantly working hard to increase their weight in front of the emperor, but why did the Huang family do the opposite and create such a big scandal for their own family?

This first of all, we have to start with Huang Daotong, he believes that when the four families compete for favor, their Huang family suffers the most, because their family does not have the support of the court officials, let alone the support of the border officials, so it is difficult for his daughter to stand out in this election. So he didn't have the strength to do it at all.

And he also told the children not to be insatiable, if you invest too much in this campaign, you will provoke a lot of trouble, and even worse, you will cultivate some new enemies. For example, Chen Jieyu, if she fights with her, she will offend Shangshu Ling Chen Kai, and if she offends him, it will be difficult for the descendants of the Huang family to come forward in the future.

Since there is such a situation, everyone, including Huang Qiuhua and Huang Qiushui, has given up the idea of competing for favor. Besides, even if it is upgraded to half a grade, it is still Lin Niangniang who is favored by the emperor now, so it has no practical significance.

At this time, Chen Kai thought that his daughter would definitely be upgraded, and he actually held a banquet in advance to celebrate this incident.

But at this juncture, the emperor suddenly let out his breath and wanted to promote Huang Zhaorong to concubine, and Chen Kai felt that he had lost face at that time. came to consult with Huang Daotong and asked him if he could let his daughter withdraw on his own initiative.

Thinkers

At that time, Chen Kai's original words were: "Actually, I don't really care about whether my daughter can be promoted to this half level, after all, she is not young, and the emperor who has not been favored for many years is fortunate that she has a prince, even if she is satisfied." I was too careless before, and the banquet was finished, if I found out that it was not my daughter who was upgraded at this time, where could I put my old face? If you are willing to persuade your daughter to give up this position, then I will promise you to arrange an official position for your grandson. The lowest is from eight grades. But if you refuse to agree, then there will be no place for my old face, and then there will be no love between our two families, don't blame the old man for being ruthless and ruining the way back for your three grandsons. ”

Huang Daotong said: "Lord Chen, about this election, my Huang family has never been

I have made any efforts behind it, I don't believe you can ask around, we just gave up competition, but I don't know why the emperor suddenly chose my daughter. ”

Chen Kai just didn't believe it, and waved his hand again and again: "Everyone is not a three-year-old child, why bother telling me that." At the beginning, there was a rumor in the palace that it was to make my daughter a concubine, and this kind of thing was almost a certainty, but your daughter suddenly snatched the position, how can you make me believe that your Huang family has not done anything about this? ”

After some conversation, Huang Daotong also failed to convince Chen Kai, and finally broke up unhappily. Chen Kai just said, let's see in the future.

At this time, the zodiac made a mistake.

As a result, a fire came up, so that his eyes, which he couldn't see clearly, were completely blind, and he looked for the imperial doctor to heal, and the imperial doctor said very regretfully, the old man would definitely not be well if he was blindfolded by the white barrier.

At this time, the zodiac is completely disillusioned.

At this time, another fire rushed to his heart, he couldn't sleep at night, and he felt some pain in his heart, and at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Huang Daotong suddenly felt that he was dying, and hurriedly called his son Huang Qiuhua and said to him: "You can't offend Chen Kai, that person is high and powerful, but he is narrow-minded, take advantage of my death, quickly create some scandals, so that Qiushui can not be promoted to a concubine." Remember that the scandal is appropriate, not too much. ”

Huang Qiuhua said: "In today's situation, it is better to tear up the will, and then make the illusion that the children are competing for the family property, which is also a scandal." ”

Huang Daotong thought for a while and said: "No, this kind of news can't affect the selection of concubines, it's better to get me a cup of mercury and let me be poisoned to death, so that you can make a fuss again." ”

The mercury was really obtained by Huang Qiuhua from Mrs. Lin. At the beginning, Huang Qiuhua said to Mrs. Lin, I will give you some money, you go out of the city to hide first, hide for three years and five years, this wind has passed, and you will come back.

Mrs. Kelin refused. And Huang Qiuhua also thought that she should not be found here in this matter, so she did not force Mrs. Lin to go. It wasn't until later that Wei Chang really found out that she was trying to run, but it was too late.

But in time, Mrs. Lin was arrested, and Huang Qiuhua was not very worried, because his goal of creating a scandal had been achieved.

"For this matter, two people from your Huang family died, I don't think it's worth it." Wei Chang said.

Huang Qiuhua howled and cried: "It's because the play is so similar that even the third son Huang Liman believes it, he is sick, and he has been beaten, and he can't accept the fact that his father is the killer grandfather, so he also swallowed mercury." He was a real suicide. At that time, I felt stupid! In fact, there are many ways I can create a scandal, why did I choose this path! ”

After speaking, Huang Qiuhua beat his chest and couldn't cry.

Hearing this, Wei Chang still didn't understand a little and asked, "As you said, why do you have to choose this path?" Even if Huang Liman didn't commit suicide, you wouldn't be able to save your life, don't you think it's too much to pay? ”

Huang Qiuhua suddenly smiled bitterly and said to Wei Chang: "I have already had smallpox, and I won't live long." ”

After that, Huang Qiuhua rolled up his sleeves, and his arms were full of carbuncles, as the so-called "acne scabs are dry, and the skin is bloody".

At this time, Wei Chang was startled and said, "Why can't you see any traces on your face, neck, or hands?" ”

Huang Qiuhua smiled bitterly: "I don't know about this, but if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come up with this trick." ”

At this point, "Jinchengfang Huang Family Poisoning Case" was completely solved, Wei Chang thought about it and decided to tell the emperor the truth.

When the dossier written by Qi Qi was sent to the emperor by Lu Han, Li Heng was furious, and revoked the official position of Shangshu Ling Chen Kai on the spot, and was demoted to a commoner.

As for the Huang family, he issued a holy decree, scolded Huang Qiuhua bitterly, and finally sent a royal doctor to treat him.

In fact, Huang Qiuhua's illness is hopeless.

The imperial doctor came to express the emperor's heart.

……

June 22, the hour is right.

Wei Chang and Qi Qi came to the headquarters of the bad guys in Huaiyuanfang.

Lu Han said that he was a little busy, and he would come back later, and let them go to the Jiazi room and wait first. The Jiazi room of the headquarters of the bad people in Chang'an County is, of course, Lu Shuai's "handsome hall", although it is a little small, but it is also a complete table.

Wei Chang sat at a table of eight immortals, looked at a plate of dim sum on the table in a daze, and said in his heart: "See, as long as you behave well and come to the leader's house, you will also be rewarded with food." ”

Looking at those dim sums, there are a large plate of honey paste, osmanthus cake, preserved figs, persimmon cakes and so on.

There are also brewed tea leaves on the side.

Wei Chang grabbed a piece of honey paste, drank tea, tasted the dim sum, felt it was too sweet, and put it down after taking a bite. As a result, Qi Qi happened to walk in at this time, and his eyes widened with anger.

Wei Chang didn't understand why Qi Qi was angry, and asked Qi Qi to come over and taste it.

Qi Qi said: "This is what I bought for Lu Shuai, who let you eat it!?" ”

Wei Chang's eyes were glazed.

Qi Qi continued: "Don't you think that this is what Lord Lu arranged for you, right? ”

Wei Chang shrugged noncommittally.

Qi Qi was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Forget it, since you have already eaten it, hurry up and eat that piece." I'll put the rest on Lord Lu's desk. ”

It just so happened that Lu Han came back at this time, and he was in a hurry, as always vigorous and resolute, and he looked very busy. As soon as he sat down, he said: "The case was handed over to you on June 16, and the case was closed on June 21." Is that right? Wei Chang! ”

Wei Chang felt that Lu Shuai's tone didn't seem to be right, so he said with some slush: "That's right..."

"So at the beginning, how many days did I give you?"

"Three days."

"So how many days did it take you to complete this task?"

"Five days."

"Well, it's good, you Master Wei can also do arithmetic, it's amazing." Wei Chang said angrily.

Wei Chang's face tightened, and said: "Lu Shuai, what are you doing, sneering, you have also seen this case, what a shame his grandmother's awkwardness, if it weren't for ......"

"If it weren't for a skin!" Lu Han slapped the table and stood up and said: "You kid is handling the case, I summed up the eight words 'cheating, abduction, intimidation, scolding and beating', let me ask you, what method did you use to get Huang Qiuhua's words in the end?" ”

"What about this......" Wei Chang wanted to say and stopped.

"Don't be sloppy with me!" Lu Han said: "You actually used the power of the killer group to help you inquire about things." But in fact, you don't actually get anything, and at the last moment, you must have met a dead mouse and got something right. The result was in Huang Qiuhua's arms, leading him to tell the truth, right? ”

"I've told you whether it's right or not, how do I know if it's right or not. I said yes, you scolded me for 'cheating and abduction', I said no, and you said that I disrespected the leader. ”

"Boom!" Lu Han slapped the table and said, "You are still reasonable!" I'm telling you, I'm disappointed with your performance! ”

Then the old man scolded and scolded Wei Chang and beat him down, and finally refused to let Wei Chang get out.

As soon as Wei Chang left, Lu Han smiled and said to Qi Qi: "You have a future when you partner with him, but don't learn from his bad mistakes." His method of adjudication is only suitable for him and not for you. He's a stinky boy, so he has to whip a few whips from time to time to save him from being fluttering. ”
