The criminal department and Dali Temple moved quickly, and as soon as King Liang agreed, he immediately began a further investigation.

The autopsy was conducted in just one afternoon, almost as the sun was setting.

The county lord of Liang Wang did die suddenly, but it was not a rush to attack the heart, but poison rushed into the heart.

This result shocked the government and the opposition, King Liang went crazy directly, and asked the emperor for an explanation, how did a good daughter be poisoned.

The emperor was also very angry, and directly summoned hundreds of officials to discuss the matter.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple will report the relevant investigations one by one, Ji Xuan's recent whereabouts and the people he has contacted, etc., or who he has a grudge with, etc.

After some reporting, Cheng Ningning, who had treated the county lord of Liangwang in the imperial study, was involved.

The one who raised the question was a prime minister's party, who didn't say much, simple and clear, and the content was that Cheng Ningning was bullied by Ji Xuan and held a grudge, and then poisoned him while saving people.

As soon as this person's words came out, Gu Qin directly stood up from the crowd, "Lord Li means that there is a quarrel between Taifu Ben and you today, if you die suddenly tomorrow, it will be Taifu Ben who will harm you, can you?" ”

Gu Qin's words were very intense, and the emotional color of protecting Cheng Ningning was extremely serious.

This made the face of Master Li, who raised the question, turn blue all of a sudden, "Taifu, the lower officials are just talking about things, it was Your Majesty who asked me to talk about my thoughts, Lord Taifu's emotions are so intense, isn't it a thief?" ”

"Lord Li, does this mean that Mrs. Ben should stand here and let your wife who slander Mrs. Ben be silent, or does Lord Li think that only you can question it, and Mrs. Ben can't put forward contradictory opinions, otherwise you will have a weak heart? What about Master Li? Can you say that you have ill intentions and want to slander this Taifu? So that the Taifu of this is dismounted? ”

"Taifu don't want to talk nonsense, the lower officials have no such intentions, the lower officials ......"

"Then what does Master Li mean?" Gu Qin didn't let go, pressing step by step, "The county lord left intact that day, and if you don't talk about this, can my wife predict that the county lord will find fault and faint and then take the opportunity to poison him?" Is it wrong for my wife to save people? Or is my wife carrying poison with her? If so, after seeing so many mothers, why are they all fine, and the county lord has something? ”

Master Li was so stunned that he lost his speech function all of a sudden, how could he not know what Gu Qin, who looked at the taciturn Gu Qin on weekdays, could say so.

"Master Li, the result of the Taiyi's research is a chronic poison, as for how chronic it is, it has not been found out, but it is definitely not a matter of a few days." It was Huo Hanyi who opened the words, and this sentence made Lord Li's face instantly turn the color of pig liver.

"Alright, stop arguing." The emperor shouted, "Now is not the time to blame anyone, what we need to do now is to find out the source of the poison and the period of attack, this is the real clue to find out the murderer." In addition, Ji Xuan came to Beijing to walk around, and he might not know where he met someone, and it was much easier and safer to do it secretly than to come openly. In any case, this matter must be found out and given an explanation to King Liang. In the years since King Liang left Kyoto, he encountered this kind of thing for the first time in Beijing, and I would not allow it under any circumstances. ”

After the emperor's words, the hundred officials were cautious when they spoke, at least they would not say who was suspicious, but only analyzed it from the general direction.

By the time the evening was falling, it was already dark.

This late dynasty lasted for a whole hour and a half, and the whole process was only for one thing, about the sudden death of the county lord of Liangwang.

When the dynasty was dispersed, there was still no result, after all, the toxin had not yet been identified, no matter what progress was made, but under this progress was an endless dark tide.

After all, it can't be King Liang who poisoned his daughter himself, so whether this poison is a personal vendetta or some conspiracy, whether it is a blame or someone's own behavior, these are all worth exploring.

……

When Gu Qin returned home, it was already late, and the children had already fallen asleep, but Cheng Ningning was still waiting in the front yard.

"Why are you waiting here? Didn't I say that if I come back late, you don't have to wait for me, just go and rest. ”

"I can't sleep left and right, and I'm waiting in the backyard, so I'm waiting here."

"Not next time."

"I can't sleep, you can't let me stay in the backyard."

"......" faced with his daughter-in-law's scoundrel, Gu Qin was really helpless.

"Don't eat yet, eat first." Cheng Ningning didn't say anything more, but pulled Gu Qin to eat.

Gu Qin didn't continue to speak.

It was already half an hour before the food and drink and the washing were good.

"When I was about to get off work, His Majesty made an urgent summons." On the couch, Gu Qin didn't wait for Cheng Ningning to ask, and directly explained the matter of returning late, "The county lord of Liangwang was checked out for poisoning, and His Majesty discussed it with the hundred officials. ”

"Did you get the results?"

"Wait for the source of the toxin to be investigated."

"This is not rigorous, toxins can be faked, and other toxins are mixed with medicinal materials, and medicinal materials are available everywhere, but there are a few things that are not available in any place."

"None of this is important, the important thing is that you need a result, and this process is necessary, as for what the result will be, you still need to wait for the results of the toxin investigation, and at the same time you will look at other things, and you will not keep an eye on the toxin."

It's hard to say about Cheng Ningning, after all, there are too many involved.

"These days are not peaceful, maybe you will return late one day, you don't have to wait for me, you know?" Gu Qin didn't continue the topic just now, he was just worried about it, there was no need to pull her along.

"I can't help sleeping, I can't sleep like today, I'm not tired, what's the matter?" Cheng Ningning still insisted on his own opinion.

"......" Cheng Ningning's insistence made Gu Qin a little unable to persuade, "Then promise me, you must rest when you are tired, don't be strong, the children still need you, if you are tired, what should the children do?" ”

Xu is Gu Qin compromised, Xu is Gu Qin took out the child to talk about things, and Cheng Ningning also compromised, "Okay." ”

"It's not early, go to bed."

"Hmm."

……

Things come and go by surprise, and plans never change as fast as they come.

The dirty water finally poured back on Cheng Ningning's body, even if Huo Hanyi is the secretary of the Criminal Department and personally participated in the investigation of this case, there is something he can't scruple about after all, and Dali Temple is also involved in the investigation of this case.

Because it was the county lord of King Liang who died, and it was Princess Wu who was involved, so when the Criminal Department and Dali Temple investigated at the same time, King Liang and King Wu's people were also involved in the whole process, so even if Huo Hanyi wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it, and the matter was brought to the table.

Reason 1: Cheng Ningning hated Ji Xuan for bullying her.

Reason 2: Cheng Ningning contacted Ji Xuan that day and used a silver needle on her.

Reason 3: Cheng Ningning knows how to heal, even if he is so toxin, it should not be a problem.
