Chapter 345: The cause of death is suspicious
Seeing Nangong Yihan angry, when he landed, the crows in the Longyin Hall were silent. The emperor's anger is not trivial, and they clearly know that Nangong Yihan is the best of several generations of monarchs, he has inherited the courage and courage of the ancestor emperor, and also has the benevolence and kindness of the emperor.
As long as these things are known in the past few years when Nangong has been in power, whether it is the floods in the south or the war at the border, he can do it himself, deeply understand the suffering of the people, and naturally win the love of the people.
"Your Majesty, we ......" Nangong Chao wanted to defend something, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Originally, he and Nangong Yi were just fighting with each other to dismantle the stage, the purpose was to suppress each other, but he didn't expect that their ideas would be used to make the Nangong family have internal strife, if it weren't for the fool of Meizhou Hou, the Nangong family would not have borne such a stigma.
Thinking of this, everyone's anger was all transferred to Nangong Mingguang, everything was the fault of this idiot, but now they only have clues about the dragon-shaped knife, and there is no substantial evidence to prove that the person who slaughtered the Transxi clan in the first place was the person from Yuexi. It is also possible that someone pretended to be a royal guard in Yuexi, which was also a means to confuse the world.
In a valley, the leader of the ghost-faced man sat on a high seat, his eyes looking into the distance, as if remembering something. The Dharma Protector beside him could see from his gaze, his eyes were full of grief.
"Lord, Nangong Yihan has summoned all the Nangong clans, and there is news that the person who slaughtered the Transxi clan back then may be the royal guard of Yuexi." A woman in a black power suit with a silver-rimmed ghost face on her face.
"Yue Xi? Well, good, what else was found? ”
"Back to the Lord, there is no one for the time being, our people have been secretly investigating, because Nangong Yihan has just ascended the throne, that queen mother is an extremely shrewd person, she is recently rectifying the affairs of the palace, and her subordinates think that it is better to let our people do nothing first, as long as they are not sent out of the palace, then we will still have a chance to hear the news we want." The woman said respectfully.
"Well, Mei, you're right, I like you the most, do you still hate me and take you away from Nangong Anyi?"
Hearing this, the woman suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Lord, the subordinates don't, although Nangong Anyi is very good to his subordinates, but the subordinates also understand that he is not a good match for his subordinates, and his subordinates are also in order to complete the tasks assigned by the lord, so they are false and wronged with him, he is just a straw bag who does nothing, how can his subordinates really like him." ”
"No, Mei, I want you to help me complete the great cause, and when the great cause is completed, I will choose the good man in the world. What's more, now that Nangong Anyi is dead, the current Emperor Beichen is Nangong Yihan, he is not so easy to deal with, the person you arrange must be extremely careful. ”
"Rest assured, Lord, all subordinates understand."
"Well, okay, you go down."
After the woman left, the masked man gently stroked his left arm with his right hand, and the pain of breaking his arm would never be forgotten for the rest of his life.
"Lord, you are thinking about the events of the year again, don't worry, the day of your revenge is not far off." A man with a black scarf over his face said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, I've been waiting for so many years, and I don't care about waiting a little longer, you do it tonight." The man commanded in a low voice.
The palace at night is very quiet, at this time, it is the season when the lotus flowers are blooming, a gust of wind blows, and the lotus fragrance fills the garden, which makes people have infinite reverie.
The clansmen of the Nangong clan all live in the side hall of the Dragon Yin Palace. Nangong Chao was about to go to bed when he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Nangong Yi.
I saw that Nangong Yi was holding two jars of wine in his hands, "What are you doing here?" "Nangong Chao doesn't have a good airway.
"You, how can you say that we are all clan relatives and a family, we have been fighting for so many years, is it really interesting? If it weren't for today's emperor's reprimand, I would still be immersed in jealousy and couldn't extricate myself. Brother, we are all grandfathers, so don't be childish. Look, I'm here with your favorite Yanghe Daqu, how about it? How many drinks shall we have? Nangong Yi said with a smile.
Nangong Chao and Nangong Yi didn't have any deep hatred, but both sides were not admitting defeat, and they both wanted to suppress each other, but they didn't expect that in the end, no one won, but hurt each other's harmony. Since the other party intends to show goodwill, there is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, so why should he bite it tightly.
Thinking of this, Nangong Chao opened the door and made way out, Nangong Yi stepped in and put the two jars on the table. When the wine seal is opened, the aroma of wine instantly fills the room.
The two of them held the jar and poured a few mouthfuls, and talked about it for another night. When the two were hangover and didn't wake up, they heard someone shouting outside and someone hanging.
The two of them woke up drunk, and someone hanged themselves? What's going on? Suddenly, the two seemed to understand something, and quickly ran to the room where Nangong Mingguang lived.
The door opened, and Nangong Mingguang's body hung on the beams of the room, and there was a confessional suicide note on the table. Nangong Yi and Nangong Chao walked in and read the suicide note carefully, it turned out that Nangong Mingguang had always regretted it after betraying the Cross Xi clan.
Finally, yesterday he told everything about it, and the whole person felt relieved, but after all, what happened back then was his fault, and only when he died, could he be regarded as an explanation to the Transxi clan.
Nangong Yihan and Chu Lixue rushed over when they heard the news, and saw that the people of the Nangong family were preparing to remove Nangong Mingguang's body from the beam. Immediately, Chu Lixue stopped loudly: "Don't move, go out to the palace." ”
Nangong Zi'an and Nangong Shaohua, who were about to dismantle Nangong Mingguang's body, were stunned. This queen mother is also really, when the emperor is present, where is she qualified to speak, and she is rashly stopped in disregard of the monarch's authority, does she want this corpse to hang here all the time?
I think so, but the two of them still have to weigh it. After all, they are soft-spoken, and even if there is a hereditary title inheritance, it will only be their grandfather and father who are in the sky.
Chu Lixue walked over, looking at the furnishings in the room, there seemed to be no change, the seats and benches were all clean, and there was a kicking stool at Nangong Mingguang's feet.
If Nangong Mingguang committed suicide, then at least something would be left at the scene, but Chu Lixue didn't see anything in the room.
"Have you touched anything in this room? Did Nangong Mingguang leave any relics? Chu Lixue said lightly.
"Yes, there is this, it is a suicide note." Nangong Yi took out the suicide note from his arms and respectfully handed it to Chu Lixue's hand.
Chu Lixue glanced at Nangong Yi, she really didn't know what to say about them, didn't she know how to protect the scene? Even if Nangong Mingguang really committed suicide, then he can't move the things in this room at will, not to mention, this Nangong Mingguang is not necessarily a suicide.
"Wanyue, go and ask the Imperial Doctor to come." Chu Lixue said lightly.
Just when Wanyue went to ask for the imperial doctor's order, Chu Lixue carefully read the suicide note, although they could all be sure that this handwriting was indeed from Nangong Mingguang's hand, but Chu Lixue always felt that there was something wrong with the content of this suicide note.
Since Nangong Mingguang knows that he is very guilty about what happened back then, then he should make up for it even more, why did he choose to commit suicide. If you are guilty, why didn't you apologize for your sins with death in the first place? Is it for his untalented brother? None of this makes sense.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Imperial Physician Commander followed the waning moon and walked over quickly. After the imperial doctor's order came, Chu Lixue asked Nangong Mingguang to be relieved from the beam.
The imperial physician ordered a careful examination of the corpse, and there was only a rope mark on the neck of the corpse, and the hands were slightly open, and there was no trace of struggle. It's just that his complexion is different from other people who have hanged themselves, and Nangong Mingguang's complexion has a faint pink.
It's just that this point makes the imperial doctor Ling a little puzzled, but he has also visited with a silver needle, Nangong Mingguang is not poisoned, and his room is clean and tidy, and a suicide note has been prepared, so it is indeed difficult to convince people that he wants people to think that he was killed.
"Imperial Doctor's Order, do you have any confusion?" Chu Lixue said lightly.
Suddenly, the imperial doctor thought of it, the queen mother is from the Valley of the Medicine King, and she must know a lot more about herbs and poisons than him, although the silver has not found the poison, after so many years of medical practice, he naturally knows that some poisons cannot be detected.
"Niangniang, on the surface, the Marquis of Meizhou did commit suicide, but the old minister felt that his complexion was a little abnormal, and his complexion was faintly pink. I don't know if Niangniang knows, what poison in this world can't be found with silver? ”
Hearing this, Chu Lixue frowned slightly, most of the poisons in this world can be detected with silver needles, but there are two kinds of poison that can never be detected, and this poison is colorless and tasteless, and this thing itself is not poisonous, only when it encounters another one, it will produce severe poison, and the poisoned person does not know it, just falls into a deep sleep, but this sleep will never wake up.
After a person dies, the toxin will only remain in the body a little bit, and ordinary works will not be detected at all. Thinking of this, Chu Lixue said lightly: "There is indeed such a poison in the world, and I also heard what the old valley master said, it should be the blood of the mist and the burning of smallpox." ”
"Misty blood and burning smallpox?" Nangong Yi wondered. He has never heard of these things, he followed the ancestor emperor to build such a big country, where has he not been, this queen mother should not be two poisons made up, right?
