Chapter 91: The Death of Another Major General (Part 2, Chapter 45)

For so long, they were all too busy, and Qiu Yue still didn't let go. This made Zhang Shuo very distressed.

He asked again, "Qiuyue, why don't you want to marry me?" You tell me what I'm not doing well, and I'm going to change. ”

Qiu Yue said: "I don't want to get married yet. ”

Zhang Shuo asked, "Then when do you want to get married?" You tell me, so that I can have a bottom in my heart. ”

Qiu Yue replied, "I don't know, and I may never get married." ”

Zhang Shuo: "......"

Yang Mubai said: "Zhang Shuo, the so-called sincerity, the golden stone is open. You have to work hard again to make Autumn Moon accept you again. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Then you have to tell me what the problem is!" Otherwise, I don't even know what to do. I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will make a mistake and do too much, but it will be counterproductive. ”

Peony thought of the last conversation with Qiu Yue and said, "Qiu Yue, are you afraid that the rumors will be unfavorable to Zhang Shuo, so you haven't reunited with him?" ”

Qiu Yue said, "It's not all. ”

Zhang Shuo asked, "Why do you care about those rumors?" Qiuyue, if you must care, I'll change the public opinion, can you agree to get back together with me? ”

Qiu Yue asked incredulously, "Can you change the rumors?" There was a lot of uproar some time ago, how did you change? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "You don't care what method I use to change, as long as I can change, will you marry me?" ”

Qiu Yue didn't believe that he could do it, and said, "Okay! If you can change, I'll marry you. ”

Zhang Shuo was very excited and said, "You agreed, it's great." You have to help me bear witness. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Okay, okay, we all heard it, Zhang Shuo, wait for you to change this rumor, let's talk about it again!" ”

Yang Mubai saw that they were all doing well, and they all found their own homes. Now only He Shengnan needs her to enlighten and enlighten again. He said, "I'm glad to see that you've all found your home. It was a great day. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "What's wrong with you, but you have something on your mind?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Now He Shengnan is left with no home, and she has a strong personality, but she is unwilling to find a good family to start a family." ”

Qiuyue said: "He Ruoxi has just died a few months ago, she is still uncomfortable, wait for a while, and then slowly enlighten." ”

Zhang Shuo also said: "I think she seems to hate men very much, how can she easily find a man to marry?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "She doesn't hate men because men killed her sister-in-law. In the past, she also matched Sun Liang with her sister-in-law. ”

Peony whispered: "She hates men so much, will she like women?" I think her feelings for her sister-in-law are too abnormal. ”

Well? Things are going in strange directions.

Peony used to be in the Qinglou, and I have seen a lot of such things, men are very masculine, and in their industry, many women are particularly hostile to men after encountering some excessive guests. Slowly like women. And He Shengnan is especially like the kind of woman who likes women.

Yang Mubai said: "This is impossible, if she likes He Ruoxi, how can she match He Ruoxi and Sun Liang?" She used to send them letters, small objects, and opportunities for them to meet. ”

Hearing this, Peony made a mistake again, the girl in Fengyue Building in the past, if she liked other girls, she also had an exclusive desire, and she didn't want that girl to pick up customers, and she didn't like this girl to fall in love with others. If this girl falls in love with someone else, she will also wreak havoc.

Pei Shengyuan said: "Could it be that she loves He Ruoxi too much, and he doesn't dare to let He Ruoxi know." She tried her best to please him. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "If you like someone, you must have an exclusive desire, He Shengnan can match them, I don't think she likes He Ruoxi." may be that He Ruoxi was better to her, and her death made her unacceptable. And He Ruoxi was forced to death by men, so she hated men. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Forget it, these are all speculations now, I'll ask her slowly in the future!" ”

Thinking of their rare get-together, Yang Mubai said: "Let's not talk about her, let's have a fun time, Feihua Ling, how about it?" ”

For those who love to practice martial arts, these literati things are really not very interested. Just as he wanted to refuse for the opposite reason, Pei Shengyuan said doggedly: "This idea is very good, whoever loses can drink." ”

Xu Lang said: "Queen Mother, this is not fair, we love to practice martial arts on weekdays, and we don't like to read, Feihua Ling designated us to lose." ”

It makes sense to say this, Yang Mubai said: "Then Xu Lang, tell me, what do you want to play?" ”

Xu Lang said: "It's good to play anything, anyway, don't play those crepes." ”

Yang Mubai said: "You martial arts practitioners play, I won't either, so let's play Feihua Ling." You can ask Peony to help you! She's amazing. ”

Peony said confidently: "Come on! ”

Princess Yongjing said: "But I don't know how to do it, Yang Cheng, will you?" ”

Yang Cheng said: "I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I have read relatively little. ”

Princess Yongjing hurriedly said: "That's not good, we won't either, isn't this bullying?" ”

It seems that the Flying Flower Order can't be played, Yang Mubai asked, "Then what are you playing?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "Then let Princess Yongjing talk about the affairs of Lan Zhaoguo!" None of us have been there before, and there must be a lot of new and interesting things to do. ”

Princess Yongjing said: "Yes, although our Lan Zhao Kingdom is small, we have a lot of things to play. Every year there is a Songkran Festival, the whole country is playing, and when you see people, you will splash water, and whoever is splashed with more water will get more blessings. ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Is this a water fight?" ”

Princess Yongjing said: "No, it's just with clean hands, you can splash when you see someone, of course, you can splash more when you see someone you like." ”

Yang Mubai said: "This is very fun, or we will play it now." ”

Yang Cheng said: "It's winter, you'll catch a cold, and the Songkran Festival in Lan Zhaoguo is in summer, which is fun to relieve the heat." ”

Princess Yongjing said: "We still have a torch festival in Lan Zhaoguo, and we can play it now." In the field, everyone gathers around, builds a fire, and then sings and dances around the fire, and can also dance with small torches. ”

Yang Mubai listened, a little moved, and said, "Then let's play this!" ”

Pei Shengyuan called the palace people to prepare in the imperial garden, and there will be a torch festival later.

Unexpectedly, the palace people were not ready, and a guard came to Zhang Shuo and said that something was wrong.

Zhang Shuo asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The guard said in his ear: "The last time you asked us to pay attention to the five major generals, one of them was wounded on the battlefield a few days ago and returned to Beijing to recuperate, but I didn't expect that tonight, he went to Hualou and died in Hualou. ”

Zhang Shuo told the situation, and everyone was silent. Pei Shengyuan said: "Zhang Shuo, you and Xu Lang Qiuyue go to check." ”

"Yes."

They went to He Shengnan's residence first, and the palace people said that she had fallen asleep. Zhang Shuo asked, "Has she been sleeping?" ”

Gong Ren thought for a while and said, "Yes, she hasn't been out all day, and she has injuries on her body." Mobility is limited, and meals are sent by them. ”

Qiu Yue said, "I'll go see her." Then she opened the door and saw that He Shengnan was really asleep, Qiu Yue woke her up and asked, "He Shengnan, wake up." ”

After a while, He Shengnan woke up, rubbed his loose eyes, and asked, "Miss Qiuyue, is there something wrong?" ”

Qiu Yue said: "It's nothing, the queen wants to come and ask you, how is the recovery from the injury in the past few days?" ”

He Shengnan sat up carefully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the queen has recovered well in the past few days, and in another month, you should be able to return to Fengyi Palace." ”

Qiu Yue said: "Yes! You're not here, the queen is busy. However, your injuries still have to be healed, and there is no rush for a while. ”

He Shengnan said: "Thank you, Miss Qiuyue, I will definitely take good care of my injuries and go back to serve the queen as soon as possible." ”

Qiu Yue couldn't help but ask: "Katsunan, the dowry left to you by your mother is enough for you to live, why are you willing to enter the palace as a palace maid?" ”

He Shengnan replied: "At the beginning, I was sorry to stop the car to avenge my grievances, but only the queen was willing to stand up for me and uphold justice." I entered the palace to repay my kindness. ”

Qiu Yue said: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, the queen mother is merciful, and she will lend a hand when she sees a grievance." ”

He Shengnan said: "She is kind to others, others can not repay it, but if she is kind to me, I will repay it." ”

Qiu Yue asked again: "He is a person who values love and righteousness, and if he has kindness, he will repay it, but what about revenge?" Do you report? ”

He Shengnan said: "It depends on my strength, if I have the ability to repay, I will definitely repay, doesn't I say: If you have revenge, you won't revenge a gentleman?" ”

Akitsuki said, "Katsuo, you're interesting. Okay, you can recuperate in peace, I'll go back first. ”

He Shengnan said: "Autumn Moon girl walks slowly. ”

Xu Lang and Zhang Shuo heard the conversation outside, and their hearts were cold.

They came to the place where the incident happened, and now it was more chaotic, and the girls were scared silly. There were signs of people walking around the room, and there were still cool parts of food on the table.

The deceased died suddenly while he was having fun, with no clothes on his body, no signs of a fight, and no signs of a fight in the house. The food and wine have been tested, and there is no poison.

According to the testimony of the bustard and the girl who was waiting, the deceased and a friend came to play that night, ordered four girls, and after they had drunk, the friend took the two girls to the next room to play. There were also two girls waiting for the deceased.

The deceased seemed to be in a hurry, saying that he was suffocated in the army, because he was generous, and the two girls worked very hard. He was also very excited, but it didn't take long for him to shake his head, and slowly, the man fell, and the girl thought he was tired, and asked, "General, are you asleep?" Seeing that he did not respond, they lay down and waited for him, but after a while, the man remained motionless, and then he was completely breathless, and the man began to grow cold, and he died in bed.

Zhang Shuo and Xu Lang glanced at each other and felt that this was too strange.

The soldiers in the yamen sent the deceased back to the righteous house, pretending that a simple autopsy had just been carried out, and nothing else was found. There were no signs of poisoning, no external injuries, and if no external injuries surfaced after a few days, it could be concluded that he had died violently.

Zhang Shuo asked, "Has he said anything or eaten anything else?" ”

One of the girls said, "He said that when he bought a pill from a Persian at a high price, there was a very powerful treasure that could make him strong." ”

The other girl said, "Yes, a little red pill, which he took after eating, and then drank a few glasses of wine, and after a short time we began to rejoice." He was indeed very powerful, but it didn't take long for the other person to die. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Did he say, where did he buy it?" ”

The girl shook her head and said, "He didn't say that. ”

Then Zhang Shuo, Xu Lang, and Qiu Yue interrogated the deceased's friends. That man was his little Zhang Wu, and the two of them played together since childhood.

Zhang Shuo asked: "He said that he bought medicine from the Persians before he died, do you know what it is?" ”

He was frightened and hurriedly said: "I have heard that when he was training, his arm was injured and he couldn't hold a sword, so he went back to Beijing to recuperate, and on the way back to Beijing, he met a Persian and bought the medicine. ”

Xu Lang asked, "Do you still have that?" ”

Zhang Wu said: "That Persian's medicine sold very well, and when he went to buy it, there was only one left. I've seen him show it off, but he hasn't used it. ”

Zhang Shuo said to him: "Let's do an autopsy and see what kind of medicine he is taking." ”

He returned to the righteous room overnight to conduct an autopsy. In the stomach of the deceased, the pill was not seen, it should have been mixed with food.

I can't tell what kind of medicine it is.

Zhang Shuo said: "Let's let Imperial Doctor Ye take a look." ”

Then he took a small half of the food in his stomach and brought it back to the palace to show Imperial Doctor Ye.

Imperial Physician Ye looked at it, sniffed it, and said, "There are trace amounts of cantharids among them, and the other Weichen don't know about it. Cantharids have a sexual effect, if it is murder, it should be with sex pills, plus the deceased drinking, and then intercourse, it is very easy to get a stroke immediately. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "It seems that this is a murder case. ”

Xu Lang said: "Then you have to find that Persian to find the clues." ”

Qiu Yue said: "Only check all the Persians from the border to the capital, the Persians who sell aphrodisiacs, to see if you can find clues." ”

Yang Mubai said: "What does this have to do with He Shengnan, she was injured and recuperating in the palace, and she couldn't leave the palace, and she didn't contact outsiders. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "If it was really He Shengnan who did it, then she was terrible." I always feel that this has something to do with her, Mu Mu, don't leave her around, okay? ”

Yang Mubai said: "You just suspect that if she can take revenge herself, why do you want to stop the car to avenge her grievances?" If she has to be so powerful, how can she enter the palace and be a palace maid? You see that she is so serious in everything she does, and she also said that she entered the palace to repay her kindness. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, don't you think that she can do everything very well, she is very meticulous and serious in everything, and she does things without revealing anything, isn't this the most terrifying?" If she wants revenge, can she also do it without knowing it? ”

Yang Mubai asked rhetorically: "She has such magical powers, why do she have to stop the car to avenge her grievances?" Punished by Dali Temple? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, this matter is not conclusive, she can't get rid of suspicion." Zhang Shuo, you go check the Persians and see if there are any clues. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Yes, I will be ordered by my humble position." ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Why do you all think it's her problem?" You tell me how she is in the deep palace, how to kill people? ”

Qiu Yue said: "Queen Mother, what the emperor said is very true, we don't have evidence now, but we will go to check it." If this matter has anything to do with her, then she is an extremely dangerous person, are you willing to let the prince and princess be by her side? ”

Yang Mubai said: "She can sacrifice herself to avenge her righteous sister, and she can also sacrifice herself to block the knife for me, why do you still doubt her?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, you can't be deceived just because she blocked the knife for you. Our child is still too young, what if she has bad intentions? ”

Yang Mubai said: "Don't you see her dedication to the child? She learned how to take care of the children, and also went to Taiyi Ye to learn. She has done more than me, a mother. How could she possibly hurt my child. I will be sad when you say that, how sad will she be if she knows? ”

Pei Shengyuan was speechless, yes! She bothered so much about her children that no one could doubt it. But she had a hatred for the six major generals, and now two of them have died one after another, which is too abnormal.

Qiu Yue said: "Queen Mother, those generals, it was He Shengnan who said that he forced the girl to death, and he only had an enmity with her, and now two of them are dead, can this still be a coincidence?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "She has the motive to commit the crime, but she has no ability to commit the crime. ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Major General Sun Liang, I had a good relationship with her before, so I should start from him." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Xu Lang, then you go and keep an eye on Sun Liang." ”

Then he said: "Qiuyue, you keep an eye on He Shengnan, you can't die anymore." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Qiu Yue, have you been staring at He Shengnan all this time? ”

Qiu Yue said, "Yes, I've been staring at her. ”

Yang Mubai asked again: "Did you find any abnormalities?" ”

Akizuki said, "There is nothing abnormal. But the queen mother, the more she hides it seamlessly, the more terrifying it becomes. ”

Yang Mubai said: "You have no evidence, so imagine out of thin air, she entered the palace for a few months to learn the palace rules, and came to Fengyi Palace on an errand for a month, and you have all seen her performance." How could she be a murderer. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, if she is suspicious, she can't stay in Fengyi Palace, and I can't let you have the slightest possibility of danger around you." ”

Yang Mubai insisted: "I chose the person, if there is a problem, I am responsible." She has been in the palace all the time and has not left the palace at all, how can she be a murderer? To buy medicine, she needs to go to the side, where does she have the time to commit murder? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Queen Mother, I'm afraid she has an accomplice." ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Have you been spying on her all this time?" Did you find her accomplices? ”

Zhang Shuo replied, "No." ”

Yang Mubai said: "It's been several months, she has neither an accomplice nor the time to commit the crime, why do you still suspect her." ”

Xu Lang said: "Queen Mother, we are also speculating. But the most suspicious one associated with them is her. ”

Yang Mubai asked: "Then wait for you to come up with strong evidence and then convict!" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, do you believe in us or believe in her?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, I believe what I see. I believe in the conscience of man. She can fight for her righteous sister, sacrifice her life for me, and do her best for peace and security. If she was a vicious person, how could she bother to do this? Isn't that proven? What else do you want her to do so that she no longer suspects her? ”

Qiu Yue said: "Queen Mother, we have seen everything she has done, but the two cannot be confused. Some murderers are very good at disguise, you don't want to be fooled by her. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Didn't you see it? When she first came, the whole person was rejecting people thousands of miles away, and since she took care of Ping'an, the whole person was gentle and kind. Her past has made her an indifferent person, but I know that she is a warm person in her heart. I firmly believe that she could not be a murderer. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, the five major generals involved in the case, a major general who knows and has entanglements with them. Now two people have died in succession, do you think it's a coincidence? The first fell off his horse and died, and the second died in fornication, is there any other possibility for such an undignified death than vendetta? Do you still want to see other major generals die? ”

Yang Mubai asked, "Then what are you going to do?" Put He Shengnan in a dungeon? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Give her to Dali Temple, or let her out of the palace, and we will send someone to monitor her." You must not let her stay with you again. Ping'an is still so young, do you really feel at ease to hand them over to He Shengnan? ”

Yang Mubai said angrily: "You have no evidence, rely on speculation to judge the case. The murderer didn't find out, and he used innocent people as shields, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous? ”

Zhang Shuo said: "Queen Mother, we will find out the clues." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Then wait for you to come up with evidence, and then get people in my palace." He Shengnan is a person from my palace, and I guarantee that she has no problem. This is also the time to show your ability, and when there is real evidence, I will naturally release you and apologize to you. ”

Everyone: "......"

These words were so hurtful, Pei Shengyuan didn't expect that her trust in He Shengnan far exceeded her trust in him.

Pei Shengyuan finally said: "Mu Mu, do you really not believe my words for her?" In your heart, I don't have her to trust you more? And Qiu Yue, Xu Lang and Zhang Shuo, which of us is not for your good, why are you so stubborn? Our friendship for so many years can't compare to her hard work in a month? ”

Yang Mubai said calmly: "Your Majesty, I trust you. But what you're saying is so bizarre. He Shengnan has no time to commit crimes, and he has no ability to commit crimes, and you have always doubted her, which is very unreasonable. I can't blindfold you and let them be blamed because I trust you. ”

Pei Shengyuan said excitedly: "You are like this, where do you put us?" Now, I wonder even more about her, what kind of magic she has cast on you, turning you into another person. Are you still the Mu Mu we know? Those of us who have lived and died with you, you don't believe it, but you believe in an unknown outsider. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, I believe what I see. I believe in the human heart, and please believe in her, okay? She is a girl with a cold heart on the outside. It can be seen from the fact that she takes care of Ping Ping'an. If she were a demon, she wouldn't have such gentle eyes and such intimate care. ”

Pei Shengyuan said bluntly: "Mu Mu, you listen to me about this, she can't stay." ”
