Chapter 13. Investigate the case
Early the next morning, as soon as Rong Yan woke up, the housekeeper said that her imperial uncle was looking for her to enter the palace.
Rong Yan met Gonggong Sheng at the gate of the palace, and Gonggong Sheng said that Zhang Zhi was dead, and his grandmother and his two sisters were crying in the palace now.
"Dead?" Rong Yan frowned.
What she fed Zhang Zhi was not poison, at most it made him feel pain for a few days, how could he die?
Rong Yan quickened his pace.
In the main hall, Rong Ze rubbed his eyebrows that were beating with irritability.
Zhang Zhi's mother saw Rong Yan coming over, and she cried even louder.
"County Lord Yanqing, my son's behavior yesterday was a little reckless, but the crime is not to death, our Zhang family is such a lone seedling, how can you be ruthless..."
"I wasn't the one who poisoned me." Rong Yan was already shouting in his heart that his mother was selling approvals, but he didn't show it, and he still had a light smile on his face.
"Listen to me, Zhang Zhi took the initiative to be rude to this county twice, the county lord just gave him a small punishment and fed him a self-made pill, which is not fatal, and what the county lord said is just to scare him and let him stop bothering me, Zhang Zhi is dead, you are grief-stricken This county lord can understand, but can you use your brain to think about it, what is the benefit of poisoning Zhang Zhi to this county lord? I'm sick and I'm going to kill him? You're going to have to look into it before you come here and cry, right? ”
Rong Yan took a few steps forward and made a very standard salute, "Uncle Huang, Yan'er please order to investigate this matter thoroughly, and return Yan'er's innocence." Rong Yan felt that if he continued to reason with them, he would not be able to wash it even if he jumped into the Huangpu River, so it was better to ask Rong Ze to go to Zhang's house to check it himself.
"That's right, the girl can check as much as she wants, and let the Criminal Department assist."
Of course, Rong Ze believes that Rong Yan is innocent, and this Zhang Zhi actually went to harass his precious niece, so it's not bad that he didn't raid his house and dare to come over to sue? If it weren't for the fact that the old woman Zhang was over eighty years old, Rong Ze would have blasted them out a long time ago.
Rong Ze winked at Rong Yan and signaled her to check boldly with confidence.
What dirty water can be poured on his niece? Naive.
"Uncle Xie Huang." After Rong Yan finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the hall, and when he turned around, he saw that the women were still crying there, he clenched his fist and suppressed the fire, and still said with a smile, "Trouble lead the way." ”
When he went out, Rong Yan instructed Gonggong Sheng to go to Tai Hospital immediately to find Nan Tai Yi and Beiyi, who was now doing chores in Tai Hospital, to go to Zhang's Mansion.
These two people also acted quickly, and as soon as Rong Yan saw the door of Zhang's mansion, the two of them caught up.
"I'm sorry to trouble you two again."
"What is the county lord talking about, it is an honor for the two of us to be able to help the county lord."
"You'll be rewarded when you're done." Rong Yan smiled.
Although she knew that these two people helping her must not be as simple as kindness.
There were many people standing outside the door of Zhang's mansion to watch the excitement, and it was estimated that the matter of Rong Yan poisoning Zhang Zhi was spread outside the clouds, and those people all looked at Rong Yan when they saw Rong Yan coming.
"Let's go."
Rong Yan was not afraid of them looking, so he calmly walked towards Zhang's mansion, and watched the lively people make way for Rong Yan with interest.
Nanlin and Beiyi glanced at each other, and raised their heels to Rong Yan's footsteps.
"The county lord..."
"We'll talk about that later." Rong Yan opened his mouth and interrupted Zhang Shangshu, who was about to speak, "Everything will be discussed after the autopsy." ”
Rong Yan sat on the stone bench under the tree and quietly observed the surroundings, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department also quickly brought people to disperse the people surrounding the door.
The south neighbor and the north eup, along with the work, went in together.
"County Lord, please use tea."
"Thank you." Rong Yan didn't seem to care about the result, but he was actually very nervous, and the tea was also picked up and blown and put down.
About half an hour, when several people came out of the house, they had different expressions.
A few of them were because they had never seen such a strange way of dying, and Beiyi felt very strange, and the southern neighbor was disgusted and a little uncomfortable.
"How?"
"Zhang Shilang, Ling Gongzi was subjected to a heart-devouring Gu, because the Gu worm gradually grew up in the body, devoured the heart and finally died, and it has nothing to do with the county lord." Nantai Doctor Road.
Rong Yan was taken aback after hearing this.
Heart Devouring Gu, isn't it the Western Regions Gu worm that was photographed in Qingge Fang that day?
Rong Yan turned his head to look at Shangshu of the Criminal Department, "There are a lot of doubts in this case, I hope Shangshu can do you a small favor..."
"Xia Guan understands."
So the last thing the people heard was that Zhang Zhi died of poisoning because of excessive alcohol and eating poisonous food, and he had nothing to do with Rong Yan.
*
In Zhang's mansion, Rong Yan casually played with the hairpin in his hand in the upper seat.
At this time, the time has just passed.
The man who spent a lot of money in Qinggefang that day was knocked unconscious and tied up by Rong Yan, and now he is lying on the ground, about to wake up.
In the face of this murderer, who was likely to be the murderer of his son, Zhang Shilang's performance was quite calm, but the knuckles of the blue and white porcelain cup were white, if the cup was crispy, I was afraid that it would be crushed.
The silence in the room was terrible, only the sobbing sound of Mrs. Zhang, who was immersed in the pain of losing her child.
In the end, Rong Yan and the others got impatient and asked his subordinates to wake up the man.
"Let's talk about it~"
The man's face was full of horror, "You, who are you!" Why are you tying me up?! ”
"I'm curious why I went straight from the restaurant to here, right? That's to blame for giving people what you photographed. Rong Yan intentionally or unintentionally touched the hairpin in his hand, "I know you have nothing to do with Zhang Zhi's death, so, tell me, who did you give the Heart Devouring Gu to, or rather, who asked you to take a picture?" ”
Although Rong Yan smiled with a harmless face, he changed his taste in the eyes of a man, and he was like a smiling tiger, and it was very likely that he would tear him apart with sharp claws in the next second.
"Yes, it's a woman, and his subordinates call her Xi, Xixiao... I really don't know anything, I'm just taking people's money and doing things for people..."
I don't know why, Rong Yan's name suddenly popped up in his head.
But it can't be.
"What do you see that woman look like?"
"She was masked, but I saw that there were two tear moles in the corner of her left eye, and she was in very good shape..."
"Okay, okay, observe carefully enough, read that you provide important information to atone for your sins, and I will spare you," Rong Yan stood up, walked to the man and stood still, looking at him condescendingly, "However, I'm a person, I have a lot of poisoning, and I have a quirk, and I always can't help but arrest dishonest people to test drugs, if you dare to say these things today, hum." ”
"Grandma don't worry, grandma don't worry, I'll leave Liangcheng tomorrow, oh no, Liangguo."
"Come on, where you tied it up and throw it back." Rong Yan walked back and waved his hand with his back to the man.
The man was put in a sack and taken away.
"Okay, when you're here today, the county lord should also go back..."
"County Lord, please avenge Wu'er!" Zhang Shilang and Mrs. Zhang knelt in front of Rong Yan with a plop.
"County lord, the concubine was dizzy before she took my mother-in-law and Zhi'er and her two sisters to the emperor to redress their grievances, please forgive me..."
"Okay, get up, now that it's over, I think you should also understand that the person who killed Zhang Zhi is not an ordinary person, and the county lord is not 100% sure that he will be able to bring the real culprit to justice, but Zhang Zhi's death may be related to me, I will do my best."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you."
"Gone." Rong Yan walked past the two of them and walked out.
Outside Zhang's mansion, Jing Liu and Lin Yu were waiting.
"Master~"
It was very cold at night, and Lin Yu put on his cloak for Rong Yan.
"Little young master, my master asked me to tell you that the lanterns that I didn't see yesterday will be made up for another day." Jing Liudao.
"Where's Uncle Junior?"
"The master has something to do and leaves Liangcheng, and he will come back in about three or four days, and he will send his subordinates to be responsible for protecting the safety of the little young master."
"I'm sorry for you~"
"This is what subordinates should do!"
Rong Yan got into the carriage, Jing Liu's driving skills were first-class, there were no bumps in the whole process, and he was about to fall asleep comfortably.
But after arriving at the palace and lying on the bed after washing, Rong Yan couldn't sleep, and tossed and turned for a while before he stopped thinking and fell asleep.
