Chapter 193: Investigation
Gu Jin and Lu Chengxiu waited together for a long time, until the faint sound of bangs sounded three times on the long street, and the waiter of the criminal department led the old servant out from behind.
The old man held a corpse grid in his hand and presented it to Lu Chengxiu.
On the corpse compartment was a detailed record of what Una had eaten during his lifetime, in addition to the small dishes that were placed on the table before the palace feast began, undigested mutton and some mushroom vegetables were also found.
Gu Jin's heart moved, the word fungus was naturally matched with the white poison umbrella that Chen Xiangsheng guessed, and she saw that Lu Chengxiu also had a look, so she didn't say it.
The two of them accepted the corpse, and Lu Chengxiu explained some things to the servant of the Criminal Department, and he must keep his mouth shut about tonight's affairs, how to deal with Una's body, and so on, and then left the Criminal Department with Gu Jin.
There was a long way from the Criminal Department to Marshal Gu's Mansion, and Lu Chengxiu remembered that it was getting late and Gu Jin was alone, so he pushed the person onto his horse regardless of her shirk.
Gu Jin's face was very unsightly when he dismounted at the door of the house, but he only got a successful smile from Lu Chengxiu.
She said goodbye to Lu Chengxiu, touched the corner door of her house again, and then went back to the evening window pavilion as if nothing had happened.
Early the next morning, at the gate of the inner city of Bianliang City, Peihuan and others yawned.
Before dawn today, Gu Jin called her and Yun Qian up, sent Yun Qian to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the matter of the white poison umbrella, and asked Fan Yong to personally drive Pei Huan to the city gate and others.
When Fan Yong and Peihuan arrived, the city gate had not yet opened, and after waiting for a while, they were already drowsy.
The young general guarding the city saw that Peihuan was so sad, so he couldn't help but be curious, and quipped: "Little girl, who are you waiting for, you've been waiting for almost an hour." ”
Wear Ring rolled her eyes and ignored him.
After waiting for a while, the sky was bright, Fan Yong patted Peihuan's arm, and was overjoyed: "Girl Peihuan, someone is here!" ”
He looked back at the bustling crowd and saw three horses walking slowly, and on the back of the horses were three handsome men.
It was the people Gu Jin told her to wait for on this trip: Lu Guitang, Gu Haomian and Shang Guyuan.
The little girl beckoned happily: "Lord Wang, my young lady wants to see you!" ”
In the west of the city, a pot of heavenly teahouse.
In the elegant room named Ju Hua on the second floor, three men have different expressions.
Lu Guitang's fingers kept tapping on the tabletop, not only thinking about the situation he had found in the post house last night, but also guessing what kind of news Gu Jin would bring in a while.
Shang Guyuan leaned against the window and fanned, looking extremely sleepy, but in fact he had fallen asleep.
Only Gu Haomian paced back and forth in the private room, his face was not black, and he was not white, only a look of his own cabbage being arched by a pig.
After a long time, he asked Lu Guitang out loud: "Lord Wang, Your Highness!" When did you fall in love with my second sister! ”
Gu Haomian didn't know about Lu Guitang and Gu Jin's affairs, but it was the familiar tone of Fang Cai's words that made Gu Haomian suspicious, and remembered that Shang Guyuan and Lu Guitang had been turning around for themselves every day in recent days, even a fool could guess a thing or two!
Lu Guitang raised his eyebrows, then smiled brightly at Gu Haomian, and said, "Brother Gu, your second sister also takes a fancy to me." ”
Gu Haomian was obviously choked by these words, and thought about Gu Jin's attitude towards the world and the abnormal things in recent days, and then let out a long sigh, looking at the pig in his eyes even more.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Guitang was different from his own monarch and minister, he really wanted to take this number of people down.
It happened that Lu Guitang turned his head sideways and took Gu Haomian's expression into his eyes, he understood Gu Haomian's eyes, and quickly shook his hand, "Hey, Brother Gu, don't get me wrong, I'm not the one who waits for the bowl and looks at the pot, so I naturally treat your second sister sincerely." ”
"What about the marriage between the prince and my third sister?"
Lu Guitang stretched out his hand, supported his cheek quite embarrassedly, and then said: "There is no official media to make a dowry, there is no letter paper to make a marriage letter, how long can you believe it?" ”
Gu Haomian sighed heavily, and then sat down opposite Lu Guitang, and said with a straight face: "But my third sister has a ...... temper."
When he said this, he was suddenly silenced, Gu Xiang's temper was indeed not suitable for entering the emperor's family.
At that moment, the two of them were silent, and then they saw Shang Guyuan, who was resting against the window, rubbing his eyes, it should be the conversation between the two that disturbed him.
Shang Guyuan hit a discount fan: "When is this, you are still in the mood to talk about marriage there." ”
How awkward it sounded like this, Lu Guitang and Gu Haomian glanced at him together.
Shang Guyuan snatched the folding fan in his hand and fanned himself.
"When is this going on, you still have the heart to sleep."
Shang Guyuan got up and stretched out indifferently, as if he wanted to dust off his exhaustion: "It's not for your Highness, I have been squatting in that post house all night, and I have a lot of black green now." ”
The two of them glanced at him again, and they really admired Shang Guyuan's flamboyant tongue.
The argument between the three of them did not delay for too long, and Gu Jin arrived.
The girl was dressed in a plain skirt and dusty, the cold color was the same as before, she drove to the second floor with a familiar car, and what she saw was three tired faces in the elegant room.
She was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses and entered the private room with her hands in her hands.
"You ...... Sleepless night? ”
The girl's cold and slightly chilly voice echoed in her ears, and all three of them nodded in unison.
Gu Jin let out an "oh", but he didn't really care about this problem, but took out a delicate small porcelain bottle from his arms and put it in front of the three of them, and said to himself: "Then I'll tell you something to refresh yourself." ”
At that moment, the girl made a long story short, and first explained to the three of them that the meal of the Prime Minister's Mansion was mixed with a white poison umbrella a few months ago, and then told a few people about Chen Xiangsheng's speculation about the white poison umbrella after the palace banquet last night.
Before the shocked expressions of the three returned to normal, Gu Jin said a few words, and brushed aside the matter of Lu Chengxiu's autopsy last night, only omitting the episode where she met those men.
"Before the autopsy, I only dared to say that I was fifty or sixty percent sure of the possibility of the white poison umbrella, but I said that Una did use fungi yesterday, and now I think that it is a white poison umbrella."
Shang Guyuan shook the folding fan and nodded, Fang Cai's sleepy expression really disappeared.
He came to his senses and asked, "What about this porcelain bottle?" ”
Gu Jinfu stretched out his hand again and took the small porcelain bottle in the palm of his hand, and replied: "This is the bottle of the medicine that the maid Xueling took before she died after poisoning the meal in the Prime Minister's Mansion that day. This thing has been investigated for a long time without results, so I specially asked Yun Qian to ask for it this morning, maybe it is a clue for us. ”
