Chapter 5 Joining Forces
Thinking of this, Yan Miao bowed deeply.
He said to Tang Su: "If the prince can help me get the body of the prince of Taikanghou, Miao'er will definitely help the prince solve the trouble of Taikanghou after finding out the situation." ”
King Xuan nodded, and asked someone to come in and ask about the condition of the body of the prince of Taikang.
The guards informed Taikang that the body of Hou Shizi had been parked in the Hou Guanjian and could not be moved easily.
Hou Guanjian is similar to the Imperial City Division, but it has been established for a longer time than the Imperial City Division. The eunuch of Hou Guanjian and King Xuan have long been at odds. This time, if you want to get the body of Taikang Hou Shizi, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Yan Miao was a little stunned, but King Xuan looked relaxed.
"Since I can't get it by the normal method, I'll change the method."
When the guards heard this, they left, and King Xuan took a pot of tea and drank it in his cell.
Yan Miao sat with him, and in less than half an hour, a subordinate came to report that there was a fire in the morgue of the Hou Guanjian. The emperor reprimanded the Hou Guanjian by decree, and also asked the Hou Guanjian to put the body of the Hou Shizi of Taikang into the prison of the Imperial City Division.
Yan Miao sighed, King Xuan was really as unscrupulous as rumored.
didn't let King Xuan call him a pawn, Yan Miao washed her hands and touched the corpse directly.
In people's impressions, corpses are ominous, dirty, and even if they are fake, high-level ones will not directly touch them.
But Yan Miao, as a woman, actually has such a hands-on attitude, King Xuan admires it very much, and the gaze cast to her softens a little.
Yan Miao had already examined the corpse again, and her gaze swept every inch of Taikang Hou Shizi's body, and finally landed on the top of her head.
The corpse has been sorted out, the clothes and shoes have been changed, but the hair is still scattered, why is this?
Thinking of this, Yan Miao reached out to the top of the deceased's head and groped inch by inch. Suddenly, Yan Miao's movements paused, and her face immediately became strange.
Seeing this, King Xuan also came over.
"How?"
"Here...... It's swollen here."
After getting Yan Miao's prompt, King Xuan immediately cleaned his hands and touched it. Indeed, on the flat head of Taikang Hou Shizi, there was a sudden bulge, as if it was caused by a heavy blow from an external force.
On the night of the crime, Taikang Hou Shizi stayed at the brothel all the time and returned to the house very late. Everyone said that he died because of taking pills, but now that he has been examined, he is afraid that there is another reason for the death of the prince of Taikang Hou.
"Report!"
The guards came to report that the person who had been sent to investigate the composition of the pill had also returned.
They found that the pill added an extra flavor of dodder seeds, although this flavor of the medicine, although it is also the effect of helping yang, but adding it will not only make the medicinal properties of the multi-life pill stronger, but also make people have a short period of dizziness before death, which is similar to the symptoms of Taikang Hou Shizi before his death!
And after visiting multiple pharmacies, King Xuan also found a person who could buy this thing.
The two hit it off and immediately decided to go to the Taikang Hou Mansion.
The Taikang Hou Mansion has been really miserable recently.
The death of the second prince Sun Yu is not clear, which makes the old lady Kanghou exhausted, although he has always had a lot of complaints about this son, but he is an old man, and he has been pampered in the palm of his hand for many years, and suddenly it is gone. The body was also taken away by the imperial court and was not allowed to be buried in the ground. Mrs. Taikanghou was even more sad, and she washed her face with tears every day, and wanted to accompany her son several times.
When Yan Miao and King Xuan and his party arrived at the Taikang Marquis Mansion, they were all miserable, the mansion was full of white cloths, and even the people were wearing filial piety clothes.
Seeing them, Taikang Hou naturally didn't have a good face, but because of the name of the Imperial City Division, he had to fight hard to deal with it: "I don't know how many people are going to give up, what are you doing?" ”
King Xuan didn't greet him, and said directly: "Master Hou, I will come to you, the concubine of the prince, Bai Rui." ”
Tai Kanghou was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted: "She has something to do with my son's death?" ”
"It's not conclusive, it's just what is needed to handle the case."
Tai Kanghou didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked people to bring Bai Rui over.
As early as the day of the incident, when Yan Miao came to the Taikang Marquis Mansion, she had already seen Sun Yu's concubine. Legend has it that this concubine Bai Rui was the person who was saved by the prince when he traveled far away. Although I haven't read a book, I have a delicate face. In order to coax her into his hands, the jewels and jade spent on her can be put in two carts, and no one can match the limelight.
Unexpectedly, just a few months after entering the Taikang Hou Mansion, Sun Yu had no interest in her, and her favor gradually faded.
After the person brought it, Yan Miao sighed that this woman was pretty, but King Xuan was unmoved.
I saw that he asked someone to take out the portrait of the person who went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and called Bai Rui to compare.
"Do you know this person?"
"His Royal Highness King Xuan, this person is the little female uncle. Originally, I came to visit relatives, but I didn't expect that after coming to the capital, I was infected with the current service, and I was already dying. ”
"Is it true that someone saw him three days ago, and he died today?"
King Xuan turned around and pondered, and said: "The owners of many pharmacies in the capital have seen this person three days ago, and he went to the pharmacy to buy dodder seeds. ”
Bai Rui was puzzled: "The adults asked me what the purpose of this matter was, not to mention that the courtiers were illiterate and did not understand pharmacology, even if they did, this dodder seed is an ordinary medicine, and it is normal for people to buy it for their own use." ”
"Duosheng Pill comes from the ancient formula, although it is not beneficial to the body, but it will not kill people in just a few months, but it is you who instructed your uncle to add the medicine of dodder seeds to the pill, which made the Duosheng Pill become more intense, and Sun Yu died of violent illness, pretending to be a disease of deyang!"
Yan Miao went straight in, her trip was to rescue her sister Shu'er, and if she wasted more time outside, Shu'er would suffer a little more in prison.
"You don't have to pretend to be stupid, we have already checked your accounts, and the maid said that most of your jewelry is gone, and your uncle who died outside has your lost gold and silver jewelry in his money bag. It's not about buying homicide or whatever! ”
The case was only one step away from coming to light, and when I saw that Bai Rui still wanted to quibble, she was slapped by Mrs. Taikanghou, who rushed over.
"You slut! Yu'er is obedient to you, and the Hou Mansion has a clear conscience for you, why do you want to harm my Yu'er! ”
After a few slaps, Bai Rui's eyes were already blackened, and the corners of his mouth were bloody. The subordinates finally separated the two, and saw King Xuan slowly squatting beside Bai Rui and opening his mouth.
"There is a punishment that can make people die very comfortably. That is, pour a layer of boiling water directly on the skin and flesh of the person, and then slowly scratch it with a needle rake, scratch and scratch, and you will see the white bones. ”
King Xuan's voice was light and fluttering, but Bai Rui listened to it as if every word was on him, imagining that his skin and flesh were scattered, Bai Rui covered his ears and wailed.
"Tell me who caused you to kill!"
"I say, I say! It's Sun Can! Sun Can instructed me! ”
Only then did people think that since the incident, the eldest prince of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion seems to have never appeared.
