Chapter 437: Fighting the grass and scaring the snake to find the snake hole

Yang Qiuchi nodded approvingly: "That's right, it's Wang Sicai." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you recall it carefully, you should be able to remember that according to what Jin Liang, the eunuch of ceremonies, said during the last investigation of the scene, the room where the iron kettle burned the table we just found was Wang Sicai's. ”
"I ...... I didn't care who lived in which room at the time, hehe...... "Song Yun'er was a little embarrassed, "Then it seems that Wang Sicai should have poisoned Concubine Xian Niangniang with charcoal, because the imperial doctor diagnosed Niangniang as a violent illness and died, so no one suspected that Concubine Xian Niangniang was killed, and Lu Huanji Beauty didn't know the truth, and thought that Niangniang died of illness, so she thought of framing and framing Gou Jian, and poured poisonous noodle tea into the throat of Niangniang's corpse, which misled us." ”
"Yes, Wang Sicai couldn't think of the result, she should be glad that she had a good relationship with Concubine Xian, and she was not involved with Lu Huanji and Lu Yuanshan, so almost all the eunuchs and palace maids such as Jin Liang and Lian'er who accompanied her on the expedition that time were killed, and she was the only one who survived, which I am afraid she couldn't have imagined at the beginning of her murder."
Song Yun'er said: "Isn't this Wang Sicai on good terms with Niangniang?" Even the emperor asked him to go with Concubine Xian, why did she kill Concubine Xian? ”
Yang Qiuchi looked at Song Yun'er approvingly: "Very good, you now know the truth of planning and then acting, if it had been before, you would have jumped and shouted to arrest people." Hey. ”
Song Yun'er grinned: "I think, this Wang Sicai definitely didn't kill Concubine Xian Niangniang for personal purposes, because with her status and appearance, it is not her turn to compete for favor." Therefore, it is likely that other concubines were instructed to take the opportunity to get rid of the virtuous concubine. However, why did Wang Sicai choose to start at Lincheng Station? ”
According to Jin Liang, the defense of the post station is the same as the palace, this guard is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, after the emperor and Niangniang lived in the post station, the guards were on guard outside the courtyard, and there were only eunuchs and palace maids accompanying them in the courtyard, and this Wang Sicai was a close confidant of Niangniang, and she could move around at will. As it turned out, this method worked and deceived almost everyone. ”
"But I still haven't escaped my brother's discernment!" Song Yun'er grinned, thought about it, and said to herself: "Who instructed Wang Sicai to poison Concubine Xian?" ”
"I'm afraid we need Wang Sicai to tell us this answer."
"You mean to arrest her and torture her?"
Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "No, this time, we must find out the culprit behind the scenes and then close the net, otherwise, once Ji Gang intervenes and is tortured, it is inevitable that Wang Sicai will not confess indiscriminately, and it will be another bloody massacre." We must investigate the entire case and then report it to the emperor. Avoid implicating the innocent. ”
That being said, however, from the previous massacre Yang Qiuchi, he knew that with the surname of Ming Chengzu, even if the real culprit and the mastermind behind the scenes were found out, I am afraid that it would inevitably involve a large group of people, which was beyond his control. All you can do is find out the real culprit.
Song Yun'er said: "What should we do next?" ”
Wang Sicai must have been instructed by someone, if she found that she was in danger, she would definitely go to the person who instructed her, and let that person find a way to arrange for her to escape. So, let's still use the old way - to scare the snake! Let the little snake lead us to its snake hole, and you will know where the snake nest is, and what snakes are inside! ”
Yang Qiuchi and his entourage immediately set off to return to the capital.
Because the real culprit was found out this time, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, they traveled day and night, and rushed back to the capital a few days later.
After returning to the Yang Mansion first, saying hello to Feng Xiaoxue and the others, and leaving Hong Aya and the escorts, Yang Qiuchi took Song Yun'er, Nangong Xiong and other six personal guards into the palace. found Wang Sicai very smoothly.
Wang Sicai couldn't help but be even more nervous when he saw that Jinyi Wei knew Yang Qiuchi and others coming to him for the second time, and after killing so many palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
After Yang Qiuchi sat down, he ignored the fragrant tea that Wang Sicai asked the palace maid to sit, let Wang Sicai sit down, and then stared at her coldly, not speaking for a long time.
Wang Sicai had no place to put his hands and feet, his face was pale, his eyes were flustered, and he lowered his head in a panic, waiting for Yang Qiuchi to ask.
Yang Qiuchi said coldly: "Wang Sicai, this official re-conducted the coffin autopsy and found some clues, Concubine Xian Niangniang did not die of violent disease, nor was she poisoned by arsenic, but poisoned with charcoal!" ”
Wang Sicai's body shook slightly, still lowering his head. A pair of clasped hands twisted tightly. Trembling slightly.
Yang Qiuchi smiled: "Wang Sicai, you seem to be a little nervous, what's wrong?" ”
"I didn't ...... No......" Wang Sicai smiled reluctantly, let go of his hands, and his palms were already sweaty.
Yang Qiuchi said: "This official thinks that this murderer can use charcoal fire to produce charcoal poison and poison Niangniang, it must be someone next to Niangniang!" Moreover, he has his own house, so he can move around the post house at will. There shouldn't be many such people. ”
Wang Sicai's hand on the knee of her thigh involuntarily grabbed the dress, and her expression was even more flustered.
Yang Qiuchi slowly leaned forward, leaned his head over, stared at Wang Sicai and said, "What's wrong with you?" Sick? ”
Wang Sicaiqiang smiled and shook his head: "Marquis Yang, this ...... This murderer is really vicious, he can even think of using the charcoal of the post station to make a fire to poison the mother, which can be regarded as very cunning! ”
Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly: "I didn't say just now that the murderer used charcoal from the post station to make charcoal poison under the fire, how did you know?" ”
Wang Sicai was taken aback, his face was pale, and he trembled: "I'...... I...... I guess ......"
"Hehe, Wang Sicai is really smart!" Yang Qiuchi smiled and slowly sat back, "This official came to you this time just to ask, do you know who did it?" Or is there anyone to be skeptical? ”
Wang Sicai breathed a sigh of relief slightly: "Last time...... Last time, many of the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied me were beheaded, and I really can't think of it...... Who will it be......"
Yang Qiuchi stood up and said coldly: "Wang Sicai, the so-called legal net is magnificent and negligent, although most of the entourage has been beheaded, however, sometimes dead people can speak, it depends on how you let him speak, this official has already found this step, the day when this case is revealed is not far away, the murderer of Concubine Xian will definitely die a hundred times worse than Concubine Xian!" ”
With a flick of his robe, Yang Qiuchi took Song Yun'er and six guards and turned around and walked out of the room. Only the colorless Wang Sicai was left sitting there in a daze.
After going out, Yang Qiuchi gave Song Yun'er a look, and Song Yun'er nodded. Afterwards, Yang Qiuchi took Nangong Xiong and other guards to the outside of the palace, leaving Song Yun'er to turn around and disappear behind the office alone.
Yang Qiuchi and the others returned to Yang's mansion, and just now they hurriedly entered the house and left, before they had time to speak properly, when they saw Yang Qiuchi coming back, all the women surrounded them.
Seeing him smiling, Feng Xiaoxue said, "How's it going?" Are things going well? ”
"It's going well," Yang Qiuchi nodded, "Since I arrived in the capital, I've been very depressed, and I haven't felt so refreshed, hehe." ”
Song Qing looked behind Yang Qiuchi curiously and said, "Huh? What about your little tail? ”
"Yun'er has another important task!" Yang Qiuchi looked at Qin Zhihui who was holding the child at a glance, and walked over with a smile. The day after Qin Zhihui gave birth to her daughter, Yang Qiuchi hurried to Shandong to investigate the case. I haven't taken a good look at my daughter.
Yang Qiuchi hugged his daughter over and looked at it with a smile: "Well, big eyes, high nose bridge, pointed chin, very good, she must be a little beauty in the future!" ”
Qin Zhihui burst out laughing: "It's still so young, how can you see it." ”
Yang Qiuchi glared: "Why can't you see it, my dignified Yang Houye's daughter is not ashamed of flowers and closed moons, it is also a sinking fish and a goose." As soon as he lowered his head, he arched his daughter's little face with his nose, "Isn't it, little Luoyan!" ”
"What little goose? It's hard to hear! Song Qing shouted on the side.
Feng Xiaoxue said with a smile: "Yes, husband, you have been busy with the case for this time, and you haven't named the two children yet!" ”
Liu Ruobing was breastfeeding her son in her arms, and when she heard this, she also smiled: "Yes, I don't know what to call it, so I have to call the baby first." It's time to pick a name. ”
Yang Qiuchi remembered the name taken by Wei Xiaobao in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and laughed: "Okay, the eldest son is called Copper Hammer, and the second daughter is called Bench!" He lowered his head and looked at the daughter in his arms: "Okay, little bench!" ”
As soon as I heard that my son was called Copper Hammer, although the name was a little dirty, it was barely passable, and when I heard my daughter called the bench, all the women were stunned, and then laughed.
Qin Zhihui's face flushed, and she muttered, "...... Don't ......"
Hong Aya smiled and held Qin Zhihui's hand: "Sister Zhihui, don't worry, the master is teasing you, so he is reluctant to give his daughter this name." ”
Yang Qiuchi kissed his daughter's face and said with a smile: "Why am I reluctant, how nice the little bench is, isn't it, baby little bench?" ”
Mother Yang smiled: "Okay, okay, don't keep calling the bench and the bench, how ugly it is to get used to it." ”
Song Qing said: "That's it, master, aren't you going to take a name for yourself?" ”
