Chapter 48: The Last Straw That Broke the Camel's Burden

I saw that under the scorching sun, Zhang's mouth was wide open, his eyes were straight, and his face was pale, as if he was dead, which was very terrifying.

The timid women screamed and took a few steps back, and even the bold men couldn't help but change color slightly.

But Feng Lingye was unusually calm, she first frowned and observed, then stood up and looked at the servant on the other side of the human wall, "Come and do the autopsy!" ”

He nodded respectfully, and then squeezed through the crowd.

He waved to the two officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers immediately came over to carry away the corpses, but the people who had been calm suddenly became excited again, holding hoes and shouting, "Don't take him away!" If you want to do the autopsy, it's here, what trick Hugh is going to play! ”

Qi Zuo suddenly looked embarrassed, and looked at Feng Lingye, "Princess, the little one has never had an autopsy in front of so many people!" ”

Afraid of conducting an autopsy in front of people, this is all an excuse, he is just afraid of angering the people behind him and causing disaster to himself.

Feng Lingye understood his thoughts, so naturally he would not embarrass him, so he stretched out his hand, "Give me the box." ”

"Princess, what do you want?" He was immediately taken aback.

Feng Lingye squatted down, tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his clothes to cover his mouth and nose, and then turned over Zhang's eyes, mouth and other facial features, and then looked all the way down, there were no external injuries, and there were no small holes that looked like poisonous needles.

After a look, he quickly opened the toolbox and handed it to her.

Tearing open Zhang's chest, Feng Lingye took out a knife and cut a hole with ease, although there was no blood, but the red turned flesh was still too terrifying after all.

She took out a porcelain bottle, and then used a silver needle to pierce a small hole in the stomach pouch and pick up a part of the gastric juice.

The people who were watching on the side suddenly turned pale, but they were afraid that Feng Lingye would do something, so they had to look at it.

After she covered the porcelain vase, she handed it to Gong Jiyue beside her, and then faced the group of people, "Protect Zhang's body with ice, and before this case is investigated, if there is even the slightest injury, I will be arrested and imprisoned for the crime of destroying evidence!" ”

When the people heard this, their faces became even more ugly, and they had to use ice cubes to protect them.

Feng Lingye took off the strip of cloth below, and then went back to the inner courtyard of Baishan Hall.

Seeing her calm and calm appearance, the shopkeeper's heart calmed down a lot, "Princess, have you found the real murderer?" ”

"It's impossible to find the real culprit, but it's more than enough to clear the stigma of Baishantang." She said, and left through the back door.

The shopkeeper touched his head and cleared the stigma of Baishantang, didn't he find the real murderer? Why did the princess say that it was impossible?

Out of Baishantang, according to records and investigations, Feng Lingye came all the way to Zhang's home.

This is a house with thatched roof, but the wall is made of mud and bamboo, and the yard in front of the house has no stones, only made of loess tamped, which shows that Zhang's family is very hard.

In the courtyard sat a woman with a child less than a month in her arms, and on the threshold stood an old woman with gray hair.

The atmosphere in the whole yard was a bit hazy.

When they saw Feng Lingye and Gong Jiyue, they didn't seem to have much reaction.

Feng Lingye walked over and squatted beside the woman, "Auntie, do you know that something happened to the Zhang family?" ”

The woman raised her gaze and sneered, "What's the difference between him dead and alive, do you want to say that I'm ruthless?" ”

Feng Lingye frowned slightly, it seemed that the relationship between the two was very discordant, and she then shook her head, "Auntie, you misunderstood, everyone said that the Zhang family died after drinking my medicine, so I want to ask my aunt to answer me a few questions." ”

"I can't answer you anything," the woman sighed bitterly, "and since I became pregnant, he didn't come home for three hundred days a year, and when he got home, he had to get money, and when he couldn't get it, he beat and scolded me. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled at Feng Lingye, "I wish he died outside every day, but I didn't expect him to really die outside, it's really a big eye!" ”

Feng Lingye knew that she couldn't ask anything if she asked, so she only said, "Can I go into the house and have a look?"

"Go and see." The woman doesn't care, this family is so poor that even thieves dislike it, and they are not afraid of what Feng Lingye will take.

In the thatched house, there are only three rooms, not even a living room, only two bedrooms and a kitchen.

Feng Lingye first went to the kitchen to take a look, only to see that there were some residual medicine residues in the corner of the kitchen, she took it and looked at it carefully, it was exactly the same as the recipe opened by Baishantang, it can be seen that there is no mole in Baishantang.

Then she went to the master bedroom where the woman and the Zhang family lived, opened the box, and there was nothing in it except a few clothes, and she casually lifted the barbed mat, but after all, she found nothing.

There was nothing in the room, and just as she was about to leave, a bright thing suddenly shook out of the corner of her eye.

She immediately looked back and saw a pink handkerchief hidden in the corner of the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window.

She took it out and shook it off, and it turned out to be a fine silk handkerchief, beautifully embroidered, and by no means ordinary people could find it.

With this embroidered handkerchief in hand, she walked out of the courtyard and came to the woman, "This handkerchief, but yours?" ”

When the woman saw this veil, her eyes changed, and her expression was extremely mocking, "Before she died, she actually caught a rich girl!" ”

Feng Lingye instantly realized, "Can you give me this embroidered handkerchief?" ”

"It's not mine, you can take it." The woman was also rejoicing.

Feng Lingye took the embroidered handkerchief and walked out of the courtyard.

At this time, the old woman who had been pestle by the threshold walked to the kitchen tremblingly, wanting to be curious to see what Feng Lingye had done, but she didn't expect to find a gold ingot on the stove!

She didn't care that she only had one tooth, she quickly picked up the gold and bit it, immediately held the gold, and "ran" to the yard in surprise, "Finch! Gold, gold, gold......"

The woman looked back, took it quickly, and was stunned.

She looked at Feng Lingye and the others, who had not yet gone far, and there was a burst of gratitude in her eyes.

The matter was far from being as simple as imagined, and Feng Lingye was not in a hurry to solve it immediately, but returned to Xiyuan, intending to investigate the ingredients in the gastric juice first.

She "drove" Gong Jiyue outside the door to guard, and then closed the door herself to study secretly.

After about half an hour, she finally found out.

It's true that it's drug poisoning, it's the medicine in Baishantang, but it's not all.

In other words, there are more medicinal herbs in it.

To start the verification from this medicine, it is too slim, and now we can only start with this silk handkerchief.

When she felt clueless, it happened that Zhuang Nanyan sent Zilu over to invite, saying that it was to celebrate Xi Xueyao's return from the palace to learn the rules, and specially let everyone eat together.

Faced with Zilu's invitation, Gong Jiyue replied directly and unceremoniously, "I've only heard that the person who came back to eat a celebration banquet after winning a battle is the first time to eat a teaching banquet." ”

Zilu's face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

Feng Lingye walked in front and smiled, "Once born, second mature, it's good to get used to it." ”

It means that Xi Xueyao will have a second time to enter the palace to learn the rules.

Zilu's face became even more embarrassed for a moment.

In the side hall of Wanrong Pavilion, the small and large minions in the mansion are busy with this lunch, and a huge round table is full of all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, with all kinds of colors, flavors, and flavors.

Xu is this Zhuang Nanyan wants to correct his posture as a housewife, so he is particularly attentive to the inner courtyard, and even Aunt Hua and other concubines and aunts were also invited to the table.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, when Feng Lingye and other aunts were present, Zhuang Nanyan and Xi Xueyao had not yet arrived.

After everyone sat down, the stomach that was not very hungry was also a little hungry in the face of so many delicacies.

In the face of this kind of shelf-taking behavior, the aunts are gradually dissatisfied.

"I really take myself seriously, the princess has arrived, and her two side concubines dare not come."

"What is a side concubine, people are called Concubine Qin, the favorite concubine on the tip of the prince's heart."

"Concubine Qin today, who knows if there will be a concubine tomorrow, the result of pampering and arrogance, often does not end well in the end."

......

Feng Lingye smiled and did not participate in the conversation.

About an hour after the incense stick, there was a sound of talking outside the door.

"Sister Concubine Qin, you are kind-hearted, seeing that I am back, please have a reunion dinner together." With a crisp and flattering voice, there is no one else but Xi Xueyao.

I only heard Zhuang Nanyan's gentle voice coming, "Everyone is a sister in the same house, Sister Yao don't say such extraneous words." ”

The footsteps gradually approached, and the aunts present were about to give their displeased faces, and when they saw the dark black figure that appeared at the door, their ugly faces suddenly smiled, "The prince is also here?" ”

Some of them greeted him directly, and it could be seen that there were people on the left and right around Duan Junmo, so he had to stand behind him and set up a chair for him.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, and I'm really sorry for being delayed on the road for a while." Zhuang Nanyan said slightly apologetically.

"Isn't it natural for a subordinate to wait for a master?" Xi Xueyao said proudly, here, the concubine is like a subordinate existence.

Zhuang Nanyan saw that Feng Lingye was also there, and quickly coughed, and then she looked at Feng Lingye leisurely, "I didn't see my sister also there, if you are suitable, I didn't mean you." ”

"It's okay," she smiled, then raised her eyes and asked casually, "I wonder how Sister Yao learned in the harem?" ”

Xi Xueyao's smug face instantly became distorted.

"Let's eat." Duan Junmo said lightly, and then began to smoke and cook for Zhuangnan.

Zhuang Nanyan looked like a little daughter-in-law, "Lord Wang, there are so many people, let's let the concubine serve you." ”

As he spoke, he gave him another chopstick dish.

Xi Xueyao didn't get angry when she saw it, and turned to look at Feng Lingye with a sneer, "Sister, the grandmother in the palace said, husband is the sky, you see how sensible Concubine Qin's sister is, it seems that you also have to learn." ”

Feng Lingye smiled indifferently, stretched out his chopsticks, and sandwiched a piece of spicy braised fish, and finally to everyone's surprise, he slowly put it into Duan Junmo's bowl, and said softly, "Husband, please use it slowly." ”

When the women present saw it, they were dumbfounded on the spot.

The whole palace knows that the prince hates spicy food the most, and the princess can't mean it, right?

Duan Junmo's fingers holding the chopsticks trembled, and he seemed to hesitate for a long time when he looked at the fish.

"Lord Wang, it's better to eat something light." Zhuang Nanyan then went to pick up the fish in the boiled tofu fish.

But before she could catch it, she saw that Duan Junmo actually picked up the red piece of fish meat, put it in her mouth, and finally ate it expressionlessly.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became strange.

Only Xi Xueyao didn't seem to notice anything, she only felt that the piece of fish meat eaten by Duan Junmo was very eye-catching, but soon she was relieved and began to speak happily: "This harem is different, although the rules are strict, but the things inside are rare to see in a hundred years, and entering the palace this time can be regarded as an eye-opener."

As soon as she said this, several concubines below who had never seen the world asked lively.

Who knew that she didn't give her face at all, but looked at Feng Lingye, "Especially the laundry maid in the Huanyi Bureau, her temper is stinky and hard, exactly like someone in the house, she dared to embarrass me, so I let her teach her a hard lesson." ”

A certain string in Feng Lingye's heart seemed to be pulled, and his face changed at that time.

Xi Xueyao looked at her pretending to be calm with satisfaction, so she said, "As a result, do you know what happened to her later?" She couldn't hurt it, so she knelt in front of me and kowtowed to me more than 20 times, and I saw that she was kowtowing and bleeding, afraid of her life, so she was magnanimously h2
