The lid of the coffin was quickly pried open by the guards of the Jin Palace, and Cui Shi shouted almost hysterically: "No." Climbing steeply from the ground, he threw himself at the coffin, trying to prevent it from opening.

Yang Guang hurriedly ordered the two maids of the Cui family to step forward to stop her, walked up to her in person, and gently persuaded: "Brother and sister, it is my father's will to open the coffin for an autopsy, and I am also acting on the order." Don't worry, as long as the coffin is opened after a while, and the servant from Dali Temple is called to check it for a little while, and it proves that he died of a sudden illness, I will immediately order someone to close the coffin, and I will never disturb his ......."

He persuaded the Cui family here, and over there, the palace guards did not stop and opened the lid of the coffin.

Wang Shichong, who was escorted to witness the opening of the coffin, saw that the coffin lid was opened, first rushed to the coffin, glanced at the coffin, turned his head and screamed at Yang Guang: "Lord Wang, come and see, King Qin's mouth and nose are bleeding, his face is blue, it is clearly a sign of poisoning!" ”

Before Yang Guang stepped forward to take a look, he only heard Cui Shi beside him scold Wang Shichong and said: "I'll treat you a mongrel, are you hoping that King Qin will not die well, or what...... Second brother, don't listen to his ......"

Yang Guang sneered, ordered the sergeant to take Wang Shichong away from the coffin, and asked Cui Shidao: "When I was in Qinzhou, Da Xi Changru reported to me that it was my younger brother and sister who first reported the funeral to him and the subordinates of the Qinzhou Governor's Office, saying that the King of Qin suddenly fell ill and died violently, and then did not wait for the subordinates to visit, so he ordered Yang Jun's body to be buried in the coffin, and tried his best to prevent the king from opening the coffin for an autopsy, and now it is found that Yang Jun's body has signs of poisoning, how should the younger brother and sister explain it?" ”

"I, I'm ......," Cui snorted, unable to answer.

"Say, did you poison and murder your husband!" Yang Guang saw that Cui's panicked, and took advantage of the situation to yell at her and asked.

"No, ......it's not me," Cui Shi waved his hand in fright.

"Then why do you want to stop this king from opening the coffin for an autopsy?" Yang Guang didn't give Cui Shi a chance to breathe, and then asked.

"Alas, goddamn dead ghost, if it weren't for those good things you did, how could I ......" Cui Shi was forced by Yang Guang to ask almost collapsed, fell to the ground, and cried loudly.

"Brother and sister, in this way, do you admit that you poisoned your husband?"

"Second brother, second brother, Yang Jun is not at home all year round, and only a few days after he came home, he hooked up with the maid next to me, I was angry for a while, so I put poison in his tea, I can't blame me for this matter...... I want to see my father, the emperor, and the queen mother......" Cui Shi looked at the wide open lid of the coffin and defended in despair.

A subtle smile flashed at the corner of Yang Guang's mouth, and he turned his head and asked Pei Yun: "Chongzhi, Cui's confession can be recorded, go and take it for her to sign and draw it." ”

Pei Yun agreed, took the confession of Cui's who had just been recorded, walked up to her, and asked her to sign and draw a pledge.

Cui Shi was paralyzed on the ground at this time, trembling all over, how could he still sign and draw. Pei Yun then ordered the two maids accompanying her to help her, and barely pressed her handprint on the confession.

After all this was done, Yang Guangcai ordered the maid to drag Cui Shi from the ground, and asked her teasingly: "Don't you want to say goodbye to Ah Yi with my brother and sister?" As he spoke, he motioned for the two maids to help Cui Shi to the coffin.

Cui Shi had a ghost in her heart, where did she dare to look at the body in the coffin, and when she was struggling to leave the coffin, she heard one of the maids who helped her exclaim: "Princess, the coffin is empty." ”

Yang Guangshi used deception to successfully trick the princess of Qin Cui Shi into confessing the truth of poisoning her husband, and immediately ordered someone to escort Cui Shi to Zongzheng Temple for temporary detention, strictly guarded, personally walked to Wang Shichong's side, untied the rope on his body with his own hands, and praised him: "Wang Shichong, you have played a good show with this king tonight!" How did you guess that this king was going to use a trick to force the Cui clan to comply? ”

Wang Shichong hurriedly knelt down and humbly said: "It turned out that the prince was discerning and resourceful, and the last general was just doing his duty, and he didn't dare to be so praised by the prince." ”

"This king has known you for many years, and it was not until tonight that I found out that you are not only extremely resourceful, but even more commendable, you are also extremely responsible. In the future, would you like to follow this king to serve in the Guangling Governor's Mansion and assist this king in pacifying the south of the Yangtze River? Yang Guang was extremely satisfied with Wang Shichong's performance in finding out the true cause of death of Yang Jun, the king of Qin, and had the idea of recruiting him into the shogunate.

"It is a blessing to be able to follow the prince. However, there is still one thing in the last general, which requires the prince to fulfill it. Wang Shichong knelt up straight and said on his back.

"Say."

After getting the news of the violent death of the King of Qin, General Da Xi convened a meeting of the last general and others, and thought that the death of the King of Qin was quite strange, but he was unwilling to report the princess of Qin because he was the governor of Qinzhou, so he was willing to be bound. I beg the prince to understand General Daxi's distress and forgive him. ”

Yang Guang said "um", turned around and came to Da Xi Changru, and asked him in a stern tone: "Da Xi Changru, as a chief, when the King of Qin died violently, he didn't want to tell the truth to the court, and blindly stuck to the etiquette and humility, almost making the real murderer slip through the net, and the King of Qin was wronged in Jiuquan, can you be guilty?" ”

"The crime of the last general cannot be punished, please play the emperor and govern the crime of dereliction of duty." Da Xi Changru witnessed everything that happened in the forbidden palace in the ancient city of Chang'an tonight, and in the face of Yang Guang's questioning at this time, he actually begged for death calmly, without remorse or fear of death.

"Tonight, the Cui family has already confessed the truth about poisoning the King of Qin, and this Wang Nian has repeatedly made military exploits for the imperial court, although you have been derelict in your duties in finding out the truth about the violent death of the King of Qin, but you can still do your duty as a chief, so I will spare you this time. Come on, loosen the ties of General Daxi and prepare a horse. Yang Guang admired Da Xi Changru's frank and upright style very much, so he ordered him to rush back to Qinzhou overnight.

Born in the world's first high gate - the princess of Qin of the Boling Cui clan turned out to be the real culprit who poisoned the Qin king Yang Jun, although Sui Gaozu Yang Jian received this report from the Jin king Yang Guang in the early morning of the next day, and immediately ordered someone to strictly seal the news, but this news still spread, in just ten days after the New Year, it spread in the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

Yang Jian originally planned to stay out of the New Year's month and then euphemistically inform the queen of Yang Jun's death, but the eunuchs and palace maids of Zhengyang Palace also heard the rumor that Yang Jun, the king of Qin, was poisoned by the princess Cui, and some good deeds reported the news to Dugu Jialuo.

Dugu Jialuo is not in good health these days, and he was already a little puzzled by the two sons around him, Yang Yong and Yang Guang, whenever he asked his third son Yang Jun to be close at hand, why he didn't go back to Chang'an to ask him for peace during the New Year, and suddenly received a report from the palace maid next to him that the king of Qin was poisoned by the princess of Qin, and he didn't catch his breath, and fainted on the spot.
