Although the food in Jing'an Hall is made of ordinary ingredients, it is also exquisitely cooked. In addition, Zhao Qingyang can't sleep peacefully these days, and his appetite is not as good as a few days ago, who knows that after coming here today, he actually feels refreshed, so he has a great appetite and eats the fast.

After eating fast, Zhao Qingyang rinsed his mouth with tea and was about to leave with his own people.

How do you know that a little master suddenly rushed out in the backyard of Jing'an Hall, shouting, "It's not good, it's not good, it's ...... someone killed."

Hearing this, the guards brought by Zhao Qingyang immediately protected her and Yunshang behind them.

Zhao Qingyang let one of the guards grab the little master and asked, "What the hell is going on, you can make it clear." ”

The little master was frightened, trembling all over, and spoke in a slurred manner, "Husband...... Madame, Zhao ...... Zhao Wuyan died. ”

"Dead?" Zhao Qingyang was shocked and asked, "What you said is true?" She...... How did she die? ”

I happened to come to Jing'an Hall today, and then Zhao Wuyan died, which will definitely arouse suspicion. She even suspected that someone knew about her itinerary and deliberately muddied the waters, and even wanted to blame herself.

Intuition told her that she smelled conspiracy.

The little master replied, "If she is really dead, she must have died of poisoning, because I saw her bleeding and her face was terrible." ”

Zhao Qingyang thought for a while and said loudly, "Hurry up and report to the official." ”

Her words reminded everyone, so the host immediately sent someone to the city to report to the official. Suspecting an unnatural death, the host left all the pilgrims behind to wait for the subsequent investigation.

In any case, it was the former county lord who died, and this matter was very important. Even if Zhao Ji has already said that he will cut off the father-daughter relationship with her, it will be difficult to figure it out again one day and take her home again.

So in addition to not being free enough, Zhao Wuyan's life in Jing'an Hall was also worry-free. This sudden death really made the host upset.

After Jing Zhaoyin heard the news, he was naturally shocked. Before leaving, he immediately sent someone to report to the emperor, and also asked someone to report to Su Junnuo and Zhao Ji.

After Princess Zhao heard the news of the death of her only daughter, she couldn't believe it, "How could something happen to Yan'er?" She was fine this morning, and she also said that Jing'an Hall would make her favorite eight-treasure porridge today, why did she suddenly die? No, you lied to me, you must lie to me. ”

However, the moment she saw Zhao Wuyan's body, she had to believe this fact. Princess Zhao was stunned for a long time before walking over step by step.

She squatted down slowly, looking at her daughter's original flower-like cheeks covered with black blood, Princess Zhao couldn't hold back any longer, hugged her daughter, sat on the ground and cried in the dark.

Her heartbroken appearance makes people sad to see. Later, she actually fainted from crying. This frightened the host, and immediately made people pinch and feed people, and it took a long time for her to recover.

However, Princess Zhao only woke up, and those eyes were extremely empty, as if her soul had been drained all of a sudden. Many of the pilgrims were parents, so they were also very sad.

Jing Zhaoyin's people quickly rushed over, because they were afraid that Zhao Wuyan was poisoned and died, so they asked him to conduct an autopsy. As soon as he walked into Zhao Wuyan's corpse, Princess Zhao rushed over and shouted, "You are not allowed to touch my daughter, you are not allowed." ”

Jing Zhaoyin only felt that Princess Zhao was really pitiful now, and she was afraid of Zhao Ji, so she persuaded her with good words, "Madam, we suspect that Miss was poisoned to death, and she must conduct an autopsy." Think about it, Miss Zhao died unexpectedly, if she was assassinated by others, don't you want to find out the murderer and seek justice for Miss Zhao? ”

"Murderer?" Princess Zhao finally came to her senses, and suddenly pointed to Zhao Qingyang, who was sitting on the side, and said, "Official, she is the murderer." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyang was shocked, did the accusation come so soon?

When Jing Zhaoyin saw it, it turned out to be the concubine of the Three Princes' Mansion. Regarding the grievances and grievances between Zhao Qingyang and Zhao Wuyan, Jing Zhaoyin had heard of it, but Zhao Qingyang really had no motive to kill. So Jing Zhaoyin said in a low voice, "Madam, now that everything is unclear, don't talk nonsense." ”

Princess Zhao suddenly sneered, "Official, you haven't listened to my words yet, why are you sure that I'm talking nonsense?" Could it be that you are friendly with the third prince and want to protect Princess Qingyang? ”

Princess Zhao's words undoubtedly gave Jing Zhaoyin a big hat. As we all know, the relationship between the three princes and the second prince, as well as King Zhao, is very stiff, and he has been maintaining a neutral attitude, but Princess Zhao undoubtedly immediately pushed him to Su Junyan's camp. Now the road ahead is unknown, and it is not known who killed the deer, so Jing Zhaoyin naturally will not admit it.

"Madam, this official has always made a clear distinction between public and private in handling cases, and paid attention to evidence." Jing Zhaoyin said, "Since you have testified against the third princess, please come up with evidence." ”

"Evidence?" Princess Zhao sneered, "Zhao Qingyang has harmed my daughter many times, this is a well-known thing. My Yan'er has been staying in Jing'an Hall for this time, and she has always been fine, why did she ...... as soon as Zhao Qingyang came today And lost your life? Isn't that obvious? ”

Princess Zhao is also a rational woman, but today she has experienced the pain of losing her daughter, so she is talking nonsense. Anyway, the moment she saw Zhao Qingyang, she wholeheartedly believed that Zhao Qingyang killed her daughter.

Thinking of this, Princess Zhao got up from the ground and rushed directly to Zhao Qingyang, "You killed my daughter, I will die with you today." ”

Before she could rush to Zhao Qingyang, she was already restrained by one of the guards, and she couldn't move anymore.

Everyone only heard Zhao Qingyang say slowly, "You said that I killed your daughter, but it was just empty words, how can you be convinced?" What's more, your daughter is just a concubine now, and I am the concubine in the Three Princes' Mansion, why do you think I surrendered my identity to harm your daughter? I'm still pregnant, and this is a nunnery, and there are gods on my head, how could I, as a mother-to-be, do such a vicious thing. Moreover, no matter what, my husband is now at the border, I am not stupid enough to cause trouble for my husband and discredit the Three Princes' Mansion. Therefore, I have no motive to kill Zhao Wuyan at all. ”

She paused, and then said, "Jing Zhaoyin, handling cases has always relied on evidence, so let me do an autopsy to find out the truth as soon as possible." As for the words of the idle people, just listen to them. ”

Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin immediately motioned for an autopsy to find out what poison Zhao Wuyan had been poisoned as soon as possible.

This guy was a veteran, but after a little inspection, he immediately determined that what Zhao Wuyan was in was the poison of arsenic.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingyang opened his mouth and said, "My lord, this arsenic is highly poisonous, and it has always been difficult to buy, so go to the pharmacy in the city to check it, and it should be rewarding." ”

Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin nodded in approval, "What the third princess said is extremely true. ”

With that, he sent people to the major pharmacies in the city to find out. At the same time, let the personnel under his command visit the scene and ask questions by the way.

It didn't take long for someone to find a dead rat next to the dishes in Zhao Wuyan's room. Jing Zhaoyin went in with Na Zuo to take a look, and he carefully examined it and said, "My lord, it's arsenic." It seems that Miss Zhao should have died of some poisonous fasting. ”

Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin frowned, "The food in this nunnery is unified, and the other pilgrims are fine, but she has an accident alone, which is really abnormal." And I've just looked around the nunnery, and there's no big trace at all. It seems that if this Zhao Wuyan didn't commit suicide, he probably met a professional killer. Otherwise, more or less traces will be left behind. ”

While he was talking, someone came to report that he had found a bag of things in the crack in the corner of the wall, and he needed to verify it. With that, he handed the bag into the hands of the servant.

However, he checked it and immediately determined that it was arsenic.

Hearing this, this Jing Zhaoyin understood a lot in his heart. It seems that someone deliberately sneaked into the kitchen today and poisoned Zhao Wuyan's food. Could it be that the third princess Zhao Qingyang is really the third princess?

He found something new, "My lord, this oiled paper wrapped in medicine should be from the Heian Hall in the city." ”

"Oh, you know that?"

He replied, "My mother has been taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Ping'an Tang for many years, and the oil paper used in his family to pack the medicine is thicker than elsewhere. ”

"I see." Jing Zhaoyin said, "This is indeed a major discovery, just check the people who have bought arsenic in Ping'an Hall later, this can save a lot of effort." ”

At this time, the person who went to the kitchen for questioning also returned.

The tolerance said, "My lord, my subordinate asked about something just now, and I always felt that it was unusual, so I came to report it immediately." ”

"What's the matter?"

"The chef in the kitchen just now said that there was a strange woman in the back kitchen today, but the host invited him to help. She had been there to help, but from time to time she would ask the third princess if she would have a fast meal. She said that she had received the favor of the third princess, so she wanted to prepare it herself. ”

"It was very busy, and the crowd didn't think it was strange. But now that someone recalls, the figure of the woman is the same...... Very similar to Miss Zhao. ”

"If that's the case, it's interesting." Jing Zhaoyin couldn't help but say, "Stringing everything together, it's like Zhao Wuyan intends to murder the third princess, but I don't know which link went wrong, but it hurts others and himself." ”

Later, the tolerance who went to the city to inquire hurriedly returned and presented all the record books of arsenic sales in various pharmacies to Jing Zhaoyin.

Jing Zhaoyin directly pulled out the booklet of Ping'an Hall and looked at it, but there was no Zhao Wuyan's name on it. It seems that I am thinking too much.

However, after thinking about it, he immediately handed the booklet to the host and asked, "Sir, is there anyone you know here?" ”

The host looked at it carefully, and finally said, "I know this girl named Hongling, she is a lay disciple of our nunnery, and she comes every three days. ”

Hearing this, Jing Zhaoyin directly ordered, "Come on, bring me this girl named Hongling immediately." ”
