After stepping on the Baishi Palace Road and walking quietly for a while, Chen Yingfang said: "The origin of Mingxin, Guo Ruzi and the earlier He family should be able to find out, but I still told everything I know first." ”

She cast the line into the distance, as if attracted by the wild grass, and her voice was soft and soothing: "Ming Xinyuan is also a daughter of a good family, and his father is a subordinate of King Kang......"

She tried to be as short as she could about Mingxin, and finally said, "...... Before you came here, you said that Lu Yi had been scolding Ming for giving seven thousand taels of silver last night, and that this happened the year before last, which reminds me of an incident. When I was still in Jinan the winter before last, I went to look for Guo Wan once, because Guo Wan went out, she received me with a clear heart, I saw that she was indeed in charge of the accounts, and she once handed me a bunch of account books. I can prove that the few maids and wives of the Chen Mansion who went with me can also make confessions. ”

That snowy dusk was very special to Chen Ying.

Because, it was on that day that she discovered that Guo Wan was in contact with His Royal Highness the Prince.

Now that I think about it, perhaps, from that day on, she and Guo Wan embarked on two diametrically opposed paths, and gradually drifted away from each other's beliefs.

Chen Ying sighed silently again, and immediately, he was a little self-deprecating.

Maybe it's the bleak season, and maybe it's the sparse scenery, she has a lot of emotions today.

Pei Shu didn't notice her emotions, he only raised an eyebrow in surprise, "huh", looked her up and down a few times, and there was novelty in his eyes: "This is really strange, you have never been the only one who asks others for a confession, but this time you said the confession yourself, rare, rare." ”

He laughed as he spoke.

Chen Ying was calm.

She knew a lot about Mingxin, and it was a citizen's duty to provide relevant information.

The only regret is that she is deeply involved in this case, and even if Emperor Yuan Jia has no guilt, he is afraid that he will not let her solve the case.

At least this case of rebellion will not go through her hands.

The facts turned out to be as Chen Ying expected.

Three days later, Emperor Yuan Jia issued a holy decree to thoroughly investigate the rebellion of the eldest princess and Xing Jibo, and the real cause of Mingxin's death has also been identified.

She died of poisoning.

The person who found out about this matter was Guan Yao.

Pei Shu listened to Chen Ying's suggestion and asked Emperor Yuan Jia for a holy decree, asking this holy hand of medicine to examine Mingxin's corpse, and came to a final conclusion:

Ming Xin was poisoned and killed, and the poison he was poisoned was very similar to the poison in Guo Yuan, the lord of Xiangshan County.

He alone could not guarantee that the two poisons were identical. After all, this poison is finely delivered, covering many aspects such as diet, clothing, spices, etc., and the compatibility is complex, the drug is different in shape and quality, and the poisoning methods are diverse, so it is impossible to verify its specific ingredients, and can only be roughly estimated.

After getting the recital he presented, Emperor Yuan Jia immediately issued an edict and investigated and dealt with the two poisoning cases with the three law divisions.

As a result, the three cases were investigated together, and the three legal divisions immediately fell into chaos.

The people involved in these three cases are all top nobles in Dachu, and the nature of the case is the most serious case of rebellion, so the testimony and evidence must not be neglected, and must be thorough, even the most insignificant servant may be the remnants of King Kang who have been lurking for many years.

Therefore, just the collection of testimony of personnel, the interrogation, collation of confessions, analysis and investigation of the 500 or 600 people, etc., have become so complicated and complicated that they are terrifying.

In addition, there is a large amount of evidence that needs to be screened, and the building of the mansion needs to be examined inch by inch, which is even more labor-intensive. Although the Three Law Divisions had already prepared and dispatched the elites of various departments to form a "special investigation department" similar to the "special case team" in the previous life, which was specifically responsible for the case, the speed of the case was still extremely slow, and "seeking slowness and not tolerating mistakes" was the basic attitude of the officials headed by Xu Yuanlu.

This is not because they are too cautious, but because the ultimate point of this case is still in heaven.

It is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, which is the reason of the world.

This case is indeed a rebellion, and it should be used to reinforce it; It can be said that it is also a family matter, Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Yuanjia's mother and son for many years, the relationship is not deep, and when Emperor Yuanjia ascended the throne, it is indispensable for Empress Dowager Xiao and the eldest princess to secretly help.

With this layer of family affection entangled, it is very difficult to grasp the severity of this case. Even if Emperor Yuan Jiadi's attitude is clear enough, who can guarantee that one day he will not regret it? Won't be moved by the affection of relatives and hold it high?

It is precisely because of this scruple that Xu Yuanlu and others are walking on thin ice, and the progress of the case naturally slows down.

Naturally, the troubles of these officials and gentlemen are unknown to ordinary people.

They only knew that Shengjing City was singing a big drama again, and it was still Emperor Yuanjia, the eldest princess, and the queen mother's son and son singing together, plus the emperor's in-laws, Xingjibo's mansion, to join in the fun.

Is there anything better to see than this?

Just bring the Royal Drama Society, it doesn't dare to act like this.

For a time, the teahouses in the capital were bullish, and the people sat down to talk about "play", and also created a unique special word for referencing, with "old lady, big girl, young son, in-law old lady" and other words, instead of the royal family and the people of the Jibo Mansion, talking about that is called a joy.

There are those who come from other places and wonder why the people of the capital like to do family cooking so much, and they can't help but say "I heard that the old lady has been sick again recently", and what "the big girl pulls a few brothers to bully the younger son", and they talk about it and come and go, and they don't understand what there is to talk about.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities were also responsible, and sent people to investigate everywhere, but they could check and investigate, but they could only stop it.

You can't even say the word "old lady", right? That's too embarrassing.

It's September, the cool breeze is all over the city, the frost is all over the field, and the red reeds are white and autumn.

The bustle in Shengjing City has not stopped the passage of time, but has made the autumn light more intense.

Waterside cruise ships with frightened gulls, thousands of noisy and silent climbing buildings, the tourists who enjoy autumn outside the city are not less than in previous years, the streets and alleys, the long causeway and the short bridge, you can see the flying clothes of the girls everywhere, and the robes of the gentlemen who roll up. The most prosperous capital of the prosperous era of Great Chu also shows a kind of charm because of this, calm, quiet and elegant.

In this late autumn season, the Chen Mansion ushered in a guest from the palace - Sun Chaoli.

This eunuch Sun brought the dictate of Emperor Yuanjia, and Chen Ying went to Dali Temple, together with the officials of the three divisions, to find out the poisoning case.

"Your Majesty said, in the end of this case, I found the backyard of the inner house, and most of them are in Xingjibo's mansion, and the confessions of those female relatives are not easy to ask, and it is only appropriate for Miss Chen to come forward." Sun Chaoli politely explained the reason, then raised his hand to speak, and the Li family hurriedly sent him out, and handed him a small bag, which contained a pair of jade plates, which were made of high-quality sheep fat jade.

The Li family has a decree to reward Sun Chaoli, or make it.
