Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) subconsciously pressed his hand on the knife and looked around, the guards of the Jiang Mansion were all watching him closely, maybe a little bit of blood could splash three feet. He calmed down and said:

"Mrs. Wei, at the invitation of Manager Zhao, came to discuss important matters with Lord Jiang, but I didn't expect someone to assassinate Lord Jiang, and Mrs. Jiang knows what Lord Jiang is doing, and she wants to be killed."

The eldest lady timidly took two steps back and said:

"The concubine doesn't know, the concubine doesn't know ......"

Then Steward Zhao said:

"Big lady, your lord has been victimized by a traitor, hurry up and report to the official."

The eldest lady had lost her sense of proportion, and she was afraid of Zhao Xun's power behind Bailiyan, so she reluctantly nodded:

"Then, report to the official......"

Bai Liyan, as an indirect suspect, obviously can't leave if he wants to, at least to find out who poisoned Jiang Yan at the bottom, and even involved Xuan Tinghou, it is likely that there is a huge political conspiracy behind it.

About two moments later, when I learned that the Great Sima Jiang Yan had been poisoned at home, the guards of the capital county, Sima Luanchong of the Chengling City Mansion, and Gao Chong'an, the priest Gao Chong'an, and other officials rushed to the Great Sima Mansion one after another.

The county guard is equivalent to shengzhang, the county guard is higher than the province of shengzhang, Wei Xu is the county guard appointed by King Xian, and Sima Luanchong is Jiang Yan's son-in-law, whose subordinates are equivalent to the commander of the garrison of the capital garrison, and the secretary Gao Chongan specializes in justice.

These three are all high-ranking officials who can enter the foreign dynasty to participate in politics in Shanling, Jiang Yan was poisoned to death at home, and the three giants of Shanling arrived at the same time, which shows how important the case is.

The county guard Xu and the priest Gao Chongan inquired about the main immediate family members and cronies of the Jiang family one by one, and when they learned that Bai Liyan concluded that the poisonous suckling pig was from the Xuanting Pavilion, almost everyone on the scene could think of the intriguing relationship.

Wei Xu and Gao Chongan are all people of King Xian, they don't dare to say anything, only Luan Chong is Jiang Yan's son-in-law, with heavy troops, where can I buy it if my father-in-law dies.

"General Wei, if I don't give an explanation for this matter tonight, I, Luan Chong, am not a vegetarian!" Luan Chong opened his eyes angrily and said in a cruel tone, afraid that if Bailiyan didn't give an explanation, he would be able to go out sideways today.

Baili Yan's hand has always been pressed on the knife and never left his hand, he can understand Luan Chong's dangerous words and intimidation, it is the external reaction of the old man who was killed, and the external reaction of the sad mood, if it is a gloating and secretly happy pretense, it is not normal.

The air was silent for a moment, and Bai Liyan said slowly:

"General Luan, Wei is deeply saddened by Lord Jiang's death, but it is too early to say that Wei has anything to do with the Xuanting Marquis Mansion. Besides, the suckling pig was cooked by the kitchen of the Xuanting Pavilion, and the salt poison was used to harm Lord Jiang, and it was not directly implicated in the Xuanting Hou Mansion, and General Luan asked Wei to give an explanation tonight, which is too domineering. ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for you and others to fight for power and profit, how would you know that it was salt poison!"

"Wei was Lang Zhong before joining the army, he studied medicine since he was a child, and he knew how to poison it, but his reason is unknown to ordinary people, besides, if Wei is poisoned, I will come to Jiang Mansion to do something!"

"Since you know the medical theory, how can you not harm my father-in-law? This suckling pig is from the Xuanting Hou Mansion, what is the relationship between you and the Xuanting Hou, is this not clear! ”

Luan Chong was violent, and the county guard saw that the two sides were arguing, so he stepped forward and persuaded:

"General Luan, what General Wei said is not unreasonable, salt poison is mostly produced in inland inferior salty salt, and salty countries mostly use seawater to boil brine, which is very well known, and salty countries can't get it. To say that the Xuanting Marquis Mansion has something to do with Lord Jiang's death is far-fetched. ”

"Hmph, it's true that the poisonous suckling pig is from the Xuanting Pavilion, if someone hadn't instructed him, why did he only poison his father-in-law, but not others, what is the explanation for this matter!"

"This ......" Wei Xu was speechless.

Bai Liyan suddenly found that Steward Zhao had indeed only bought half of the suckling pig, and there was still half of it that ordinary people could not afford to consume, so they could only be bought by the rich or disposed of. If it was bought by the rich and powerful, it would have been reported to the official long ago if it was eaten, and now Wei Xu was asked by Luan Chong, obviously the other half of the suckling pig did not enter the market.

And it was so coincidental that on the day he came to the door impartially, during this time period, Jiang Yan bought half a suckling pig that was poisoned, and then was poisoned to death, all signs indicate that Jiang Yan's death is likely to be another political conspiracy.

The purpose of poisoning Jiang Yan is not only that Jiang Yan wants to meet himself, but also to seal Jiang Yan's mouth, and it also has the purpose of planting blame and causing trouble. The suckling pig is from the Xuanting Pavilion, which means that Jiang Yan's death is inseparable.

Jiang Yan's loss of power is well known, and it is no secret that King Xian wants to remove him from his official position, just wait for the Queen Mother to lose her breath, and King Xian will immediately dismiss Jiang Yan's official.

Now that the Queen Mother is still angry, Jiang Yan can't move the stumbling block, the only way is to let Jiang Yan disappear silently, so the position of the big Sima naturally has to be vacated, the Queen Mother will inevitably swallow her breath when she learns of Jiang Yan's death, and King Xian seems to be the biggest beneficiary.

This is a seemingly reasonable stake on the surface, but the deeper stakes are that King Xian and those close to King Xian will become the biggest victims.

Jiang Yan has held the position of Da Sima for nearly fifteen years, and his protégés are all over the world, and even Sima Luanchong, the city government of Yinling, is also his son-in-law.

Just imagine, in order to eliminate dissidents, King Xian has dared to nakedly poison his own uncle and kill his old mother, won't he purge his old department after the death of Jiang Yan and the Queen Mother?

Where there is oppression, there must be resistance, and this kind of artificial trap has been aimed at the core ruling class of Xianguo from the very beginning, and its sinister intentions have been clearly revealed at this moment. Once the tomb fell into civil strife, the biggest beneficiary was the Black Turban rebels, and even if King Xian died in a mutiny and the crown prince ascended the throne smoothly, where would the Jin Kingdom care about the life or death of the Xian Kingdom.

When the situation has developed to this point, it is not difficult to imagine why the Jin army in Lei City did not move, in fact, from the very beginning, it was part of the entire poisonous plan.

No matter what problems occurred within the Jin army, Jiang Yan's death has caused a de facto conflict of rights, which will lead to political turmoil in Chenling, and even cause a palace change, which is a series of political chain effects caused by Jiang Yan's killing.

Killing Jiang Yan was intended to intensify the power contradictions that had accumulated for a long time in the city of Chenling, and to launch a fatal blow to the Black Turban Army.

The official of the county guard mansion collected Jiang Yan's body and pulled it to the county guard mansion, all the personnel of Sima Mansion were confined in the courtyard and were not allowed to enter or leave, Baili Yan could not escape the involvement, and was invited to the county guard mansion to drink tea.

A little later, Qiao Lian, the Marquis of Xuanting, was also invited to the county guard mansion for questioning, Qiao Lian was really innocent, he didn't know anything about the poisoning, he was timid by nature, and he had no other hobbies except for loving money. Hearing the news that Jiang Yan had eaten the suckling pig in Xuanting Pavilion and was poisoned, Qiao Lian trembled terribly, and learned that it was his prospective son-in-law Bai Liyan who had tested for salt poison, Qiao Lian's face turned pale:

"General Wei, how can you talk nonsense about killing people, you are also a close confidant of the king, how can you talk nonsense about such things."

Qiao Lian wanted to cry without tears, Bai Liyan smiled bitterly:

"Master Hou, this is a plan, where does Wei know that it is a plan, if he knows, how can he personally test the poison."

Baili Yan is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't tell if he has bitterness. Jiang Yan's death was obviously a plan of the Black Turban Army, even if he said it, how could Wei Xu and others believe it, but they would be suspected by Luan Chong and others, suspecting that he deliberately shifted the focus to get rid of the crime.

This is a chain plan designed step by step, if you can't find out the real culprit, you are afraid that the situation will get out of control further and eventually lead to a mutiny.

Luan Chong has 20,000 county soldiers in his hands, what he wants to do, it is an easy matter, if the Black Turban Army has already ambushed the city, even if he can't take the Lingling, Zhao Xun will have to transfer troops from the Yongxing River to help, so he will fall into the Black Turban Army's poison plan.

If the Jin army or the Liang army came back to help, Luan Chong could not open the door at all, and the two armies would definitely not risk huge casualties to attack the first fortified city of Xianguo.

The news also reached the palace as soon as possible, and King Xian was happy at first when he learned that Jiang Yan was poisoned, but after thinking about it, he died after eating the suckling pig in Xuanting Pavilion, and in a blink of an eye, the huge waves in his heart were surging. This is not to tell the world that it was he who poisoned his own uncle and killed the queen mother.

Who is Xuan Tinghou, that is a good person who regards wealth as his life, and is as timid as a rat and faints when he sees blood, can he have the heart to poison Jiang Yan? What he wants.

Not long after the Marquis of Xuanting was summoned to the county guard mansion on suspicion of poisoning Jiang Yan, Princess Lanyuan naturally couldn't sit still, and entered the palace overnight to meet King Xian.

Xianwang is anxious, he is not worried about what will happen to Xuanting Hou, after all, it is his brother-in-law, even if Jiang Yan is poisoned by his Xuanting Hou Qiao Lian, who would dare to say a word if he doesn't nod, not to mention where Qiao Lian has the courage to kill Jiang Yan. Taking a step back, Jiang Yan is still one of Xuantinghou's several big customers, so why does Qiao Lian need to cut off his financial route.

King Xian's biggest worry at this time Bailiyan was detained in the county guard's mansion, Sima Luanchong of the city government categorically would not buy it, Bailiyan was detained in Chenling, and the Yongxing River front line was only supported by Zhao Xun and others, and the consequences of a slight mistake were unimaginable.

"Uncle, uncle, what do you say you can't do, but you want to ask Wei Xian to come to the mansion to make a secret business after dark, and the secret business will come to the secret business, and if you die, you will give the widow a set."

"Brother Wang, what's the use of talking about this now, Qiao Lian is your brother-in-law, and Wei Xian is your hand-picked nephew and son-in-law, why doesn't he know the severity at all." Princess Lan Yuan blamed.

King Xian defended:

"Wei Xian is not that kind of person, if he doesn't know the severity, he can have the status he has today. There was no warning of this matter, he just fell into a trap, if he had known that Jiang Yan was going to die, would he have been able to go to Sima Mansion. ”

"What then?"

"Don't worry, there are widows here, and no one dares to touch them. Besides, it's not what Xuan Tinghou did, what are you afraid of. ”

"It's scary, I'm afraid that the gangsters will frame me. Brother Wang, you also said that Wei Xianwen Taowu is a little ancient and strange, don't you still plant it! ”

Princess Lanyuan was in a mess, which pot was not opened, and the king of Xian was pinched with pain, and there were words of suffering, where could he have thought that Qiao Lian and Wei Xian, who were so shrewd, were planted.

"Okay, the widow immediately summoned Wei Xian into the palace and asked about this matter in person."

"What about your brother-in-law?"

"Wei Xu is a person who doesn't know the importance of things, what to do and what to do, hurry up and pick people up."
