Chapter 691: Peeling off the cocoon

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "The minister thinks that Liu Jian was killed on the way to Xiangguo's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"How so?" Chen Xuanli's questioning represented the voices of everyone present.

"Wang Yuan, this is not something to be said casually, your judgment will affect the direction of this matter. If Liu Jian was killed on the way from the palace to Xiangguo's mansion, then who was the Liu Jian who treated Li Xiangguo in Xiangguo's mansion? It's a lot more complicated. It's okay to guess, but it's not okay to guess. The crown prince Li Heng, who had been standing in the shadows and watching, suddenly spoke lightly.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is indeed guessing, but it is by no means a random guess, the minister has the reason of the minister." ”

Xuanzong frowned and said, "Wang Yuan, you just have to say it, I want to listen." Why not guess? As long as it's convincing. ”

Wang Yuan arched his hand and said, "Obey the order." ”

Xuanzong's words, everyone didn't say much. The crown prince Li Heng retracted into the shadows, his eyes gloomy and vicious, like a wolf in the darkness staring at Wang Yuan, the muscles on his face trembling slightly.

"My first reason for making this judgment was based on human nature. Just imagine, if it was really this Liu Jian who poisoned Li Xiangguo, then how could he come back to the palace after he was poisoned? Let's think about it, if you poisoned Li Xiangguo, and at this time, it is obvious that it will be quickly exposed, and there is nothing to hide. So what do you do? Wang Yuan said.

"Escaped, of course?" Yang Guozhong said.

Wang Yuan said: "Yes, if it were me, I would have fled and hid immediately." And the strange thing is that this Imperial Doctor Liu was actually killed on the way back to the palace, is he so stupid? After being poisoned, he swaggered back to the palace, thinking that he would be safe and sound? According to common sense, he shouldn't show up on the way back to the palace. And the place where his body was found was precisely the only way from Pingkangfang to the palace. Therefore, based on this, I conclude that Liu Jian should have been killed on the way to Xiangguo's mansion. ”

Everyone nodded, and Xuanzong also nodded slightly: "It makes sense, there is no reason for this Liu Jian to return to the palace again." ”

"Not necessarily, it makes sense, but there are exceptions to everything. Maybe this Liu Jian wanted to go back to the palace to clean up the gold and silver before escaping. Or if he wanted to escape somewhere between Pingkangfang and Xingqing Palace, it was not certain. And there is a kind of person called a dead man, who does not care about life and death in order to achieve his goal, maybe this Liu Jian is a dead man. An Lushan objected loudly, although he also felt that what Wang Yuan said was reasonable, but he always had to refute a few words to be happy.

Wang Yuan said: "Dead soldiers? I've never seen such a person, isn't General Fei'an raising people like the dead? ”

An Lushan was startled and reprimanded: "How can I raise a dead soldier? I'm not going to do anything unreasonable. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "It's just a joke, I have to say that your words are not impossible, everything has accidents, that's good." That's why I have another reason to support it. My second reason is that if this Imperial Doctor Liu is the one who poisoned him, then this matter is very terrifying. Gao Neijian, let me bother you, and ask how the imperial medical supervisor in the palace is on duty? Could it be that after His Majesty issued an order, this Liu Jian could take the initiative to ask to go to Xiangguo's mansion? ”

Gao Lishi shook his head and said: "Of course not, the fifteen imperial doctors of the imperial medical supervision take turns on duty, three every day, and one round every five days." The three royal doctors of each day arrange their shifts in the morning, morning and evening, and whoever has their turn needs to be on duty. Other imperial physicians can advance and retreat normally. There are rules in the palace, so what will happen there? ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said: "That's it, that is to say, Liu Jian's order to go to Xiangguo Mansion is not the roll call of His Majesty and Master Gao, but his turn to be on duty tonight, right?" ”

"Exactly." Colliers.

"He didn't deliberately transfer the order of duty, is there a sign that he is deliberately on duty tonight?"

"Yes, the Imperial Physician will not have a single disrupted order in a few months, these Imperial Doctors are very well-behaved, and they all live comfortably, and there is nothing to do with daily trivial matters."

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Then the problem is." Tonight's incident is purely accidental, Xiangguo's illness is accidental, His Majesty's sending someone to visit and heal is also accidental, Liu Jian's arrival on duty tonight is actually not deliberate, it is also accidental. So if this Liu Jian is a person who has been bought, how could he know so coincidentally that the prime minister will be sick tonight? Will he go to the order to visit and treat, and then poison Sangkook? Could it be that he has the ability to take advantage of the future? Even if he is ready to try his luck all the time, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity for several years or even decades, isn't this method of buying out and killing people too stupid? ”

Everyone nodded secretly, if this matter is said to be prepared, it is indeed a little unlikely. There seems to be no trace of intentionality. Xiangguo's illness is accidental, His Majesty will not send the imperial doctor out of the palace to visit the minister on weekdays, and today's decree is also accidental, even if Liu Jian is ready, how do you know that he is doing it today?

"Unless...... Unless the entire imperial doctor of the imperial medical prison is bought, they are all ready to poison Li Xiangguo. Then the chances are greatly increased. Yang Guozhong muttered.

Everyone couldn't help but look sideways, Yang Guozhong knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "I'm just speculating, it's just that this matter is impossible, and I realized that Wang Yuan's question just now is difficult to solve." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Can you buy the entire Imperial Medical Prison?" Who would be stupid enough to do that? Buying off the Imperial Doctor is a risky thing. If an inadvertent news is revealed, it will be a head. Wouldn't buying off the entire Imperial Physician increase this risk thousands of times over? If the murderer behind this scene had this ability, he would simply buy the people from the Xiangguo Mansion directly, wouldn't it be just? ”

Xuanzong asked in a deep voice, "Have all the people from the Imperial Medical Prison brought the question?" Be severely interrogated. ”

Gao Lishi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids will strictly investigate them, they have all been locked up." ”

Xuanzong nodded and said to Wang Yuan: "This second point is also very reasonable, how can there be such a coincidence?" If you say this, this Liu Jian should not be a murderer who was bought in advance. ”

Wang Yuan said: "This also proves that the Liu Jian in Xiangguo's Mansion is not the Liu Jian lying here." ”

Xuanzong said: "It makes sense, is there any speculation?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "There are only these two conjectures, but speculation is not enough to explain the truth of the matter, to prove the speculation, facts need to be corroborated." Chen also has a bold speculation to prove that this Liu Jian is not the other Liu Jian, but this time there will be facts to support him. If it does not match the facts, it means that the inference just made by the minister is wrong. If it is confirmed, it means that the minister's speculation is not far from ten. ”

Xuanzong said: "What kind of facts match? ”

Wang Yuan turned to look at Liu Jian's upright body and said to Gao Lishi: "Gao Neijian is in charge of the palace eunuchs, so that the palace runs in an orderly manner, I guess there must be strict rules within the imperial medical prison." I want to ask Master Gao, is there any rule on what the imperial doctor carries with him when he goes out for consultation? ”

Gao Lishi said: "Of course, there is a fixed number of medicine utensils in the palace, and the imperial doctors also need to register and make a register for them. There is also a set amount of things they can bring with them when they leave the clinic. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Then that means that this Liu Jian went out of the palace to see Xiangguo, and there was a quota for the type and quantity of medicines he carried. ”

"That's true."

"Then it's easy to do, please ask Master Gao to order someone to check the medicine bag on his body to see if there is any lack of medicine. This Liu Jian used medicine in Xiangguo's mansion, and it was impossible for him to just boil poison, because the poison must taste pungent and easy for people to discover. As a royal physician, he would disguise the smell of poison with other drug mixtures. If he has less medicine on his body, it means that he is likely to be the one who poisoned Xiangguo. But I think he should have no less drugs on him. Because I saw that his medicine bag was still tied up, and it didn't look like he had been passive. Wang Yuan said quietly.

Gao Lishi immediately ordered two directors of the imperial medical prison to come and ordered them to check whether the medicine in the cloth jacket that Liu Jian was carrying was consistent with the amount he had received before leaving the palace. A moment later, the two principals reported with sad faces: "Your Majesty and Gao Neijian, the medicine has not moved at all. Twelve flavored medicines, twelve medicine bags are all good, and the seals have not been opened. The medicines that come out of our imperial medical supervision are all sealed with seals. ”

At this point, everyone was convinced by Wang Yuan's judgment. The medicine didn't move, it was too accidental, and according to common sense, Liu Jian shouldn't look back. Three times and one confirmation, you can draw conclusions. This dead Liu Jian is definitely not the same Liu Jian who poisoned Li Linfu under the Prime Minister's Mansion. Someone killed Liu Jian on the way to Xiangguo's Mansion, and then pretended to be him to Xiangguo's Mansion and poisoned Li Linfu.

Xuanzong's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth angrily and shouted: "Who the hell is this, who is so bold as to secretly do such an insidious deed. Find out who it is, I will cut him with a thousand knives and destroy the nine clans. ”

An Lushan stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since tonight's events are all accidental, but such a thing happened, it means that everyone tonight is suspicious." His Majesty temporarily asked the imperial doctor to visit Li Xiangguo, how could he be known by the people behind the scenes? It can only be said that this person was on the spot tonight, and after learning that His Majesty asked the imperial doctor to visit Li Xiangguo, he immediately sent someone to intercept and kill Liu Jian outside the palace. Then everyone here tonight could be the person behind the scenes. ”

Xuanzong gritted his teeth and said, "That's true, this person is by my side, and he must be a member of tonight's banquet." Check, check it for me immediately. ”

An Lushan said: "The minister is willing to find out this matter for His Majesty, and it doesn't hurt for the minister to delay in the capital for a few days." As long as His Majesty believes that the minister is not that person. ”

Xuanzong said: "I believe in you, I let you ......"

"Wait, Your Majesty listens to me." Wang Yuan hurriedly interrupted Xuanzong's words, he couldn't let Xuanzong appoint An Lushan to investigate this matter, it would be a bloody storm, and An Lushan would definitely make a big fuss about it.
