The deep inner courtyard of the palace, the strange carving behind the dragon couch, the glazed ancient mirror in front of the dragon couch, the lord of the country who is obsessed with nursing mothers, the concubine who died tragically, and even the Xiangguo who can take the dragon chair as his own at any time.

All of this is no longer a simple murder, it is full of too many factors, there are the ownership of royal power, the entanglement of men and women, and the perverted desires, and in Yang Jing's eyes, there is indeed only one truth, but sometimes the truth is not the answer, at least not the answer that others want.

Those who pursue truth and truth in history are either madmen or bigots, and for the sake of ideals, these people are willing to be abandoned by the world, and only indulge in their own world with the truth and truth, so that they can quietly talk to the truth and truth.

They were out of the times, not understood, not even tolerated by the world, and it was not until after their deaths, or even for a longer time, that they were respected by others, and even worshipped as saints.

Such sages or saints, after all, are only a few, in real life, many people are rare and confused, they like to live a simpler life, and many times they are actually reluctant to pursue the truth, not that they do not have this ability, but they do not want to face it, because the truth will often bring more and greater trouble.

As Yang Jing had predicted earlier, the case was not complicated, there were no injuries on Concubine Yu's body, no signs of poisoning, and no past medical history, and the results of the autopsy could be preliminarily judged to be overfrightened.

In the dormitory, there are only Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, and the jade concubine, and there is also the ghost of the Yang nurse who scared the jade concubine to death.

Yang Jing firmly believes that there are no ghosts in this world, so there are only two possibilities, either Duan Xingzhi scared the Jade Concubine to death, or the Jade Concubine herself scared herself to death.

It's not uncommon for you to scare yourself, but in this case, there is actually a more suspicious candidate, and that is Duan Xingzhi!

After the victory in Longguan, Gao Taixiang's popularity has reached its peak, if it weren't for Duan Xingzhi gritting his teeth and driving in person at the last moment, he saved some prestige for him, at this time, it is impossible to say that Gao Taixiang has already been added to the yellow robe by the soldiers of Longguan, and he has been directly pushed to the throne!

The Gao family has been in charge of the government for more than a day or two, although he doesn't want to admit it, Duan Xingzhi also knows that he is a puppet at all.

Although Gao Taixiang behaved very humbly many times and did not coerce the Son of Heaven into making the regent of the princes a traitorous posture, this head of the Gao family, like the sword of Damocles hanging over Duan Xingzhi's head, would fall down at some point and take Duan Xingzhi's life!

There are no two days and no two lords in the country, and the folk also say that a mountain can never accommodate two tigers, he Duan Xingzhi is a descendant of the dignified Dali royal family, how can he allow others to snore on the side of the couch?

Concubine Yu's real name is Gao Muyu, she is the daughter of the Gao family, Duan Xingzhi has always regarded her as a substitute for Yang's nursing mother, and in this situation, Duan Xingzhi deliberately scared Concubine Yu to death, whether it was to vent her anger or to remind Gao Taixiang, she had more motivation to commit the crime than Concubine Yu herself scaring herself to death.

Because Yang Jing didn't believe that this was an accidental death at all!

The reason why he made such a judgment is because after Yang Jing investigated the scene, especially after the carving hidden behind the embroidered statue appeared, he already knew what scared the Jade Concubine to death, or the ghost of the Yang nurse, what it was!

The truth is actually very simple, there are a lot of lights in the dormitory, and there is a lot of light, but there are not too many lamps and candles in the inner bedroom, and a lot of wax tears have dripped on the small tablet behind the dragon couch, which is enough to show that there have been candles there.

Yang Jing could even imagine what it was like at that time.

Duan Xingzhi first released the rumor of the ghost of the nurse, Concubine Yu was one of his concubines most often, and it was not difficult to spread this rumor to her ears, which is why Duan Xingzhi still let Concubine Yu come to sleep after being scared sick by the ghost.

At that time, Concubine Yu was already suspicious in her heart, but in the process of rejoicing with Duan Xingzhi, she gradually forgot about it, and seeing that Duan Xingzhi finally had some male style, the two began to linger.

And Duan Xingzhi quietly pulled the embroidered statue apart through the rope at the head of the bed, revealing the carving of the screen, which was originally lifelike, and under the reflection of the candle, it was projected onto the glass mirror at the foot of the bed!

After all, the glass mirror is not so clear and realistic, and at first glance, it is not surprising that the reflection of the carved image is mistaken for a ghost and scares the jade concubine to death.

Maybe Duan Xingzhi didn't think about scaring Concubine Yu to death, at most he scared her stupid and crazy, but he didn't expect that the psychological suggestion effect of the rumors was too strong, so that Concubine Yu died after all.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, Concubine Yu is extremely favored and is Duan Xingzhi's favorite concubine, the old scars and bruises on Concubine Yu's body are enough to show that Duan Xingzhi just regarded her as an object of venting, and even poured out his anger and hatred towards the Gao family on Concubine Yu.

And the jade concubine is particularly obsessed with the things in the room, after all, in ancient times, women stuck to their duties, and it was impossible for them to be so active in sexual affairs, let alone know so many tricks, that is, the sister in the Qinglou, and she was also coquettish on the outside and reserved on the inside, because this was the moral code of women at that time, maybe the secret prostitutes in the kiln could take the initiative to play so many tricks on men.

Duan Xingzhi definitely didn't expect to scare the Jade Concubine to death, so he hid the candle, covered up the carving, and moved the position of the mirror, which Yang Jing had already found traces on the carpet.

Although the carpet does not leave footprints, the base of the glass mirror has left scratches, and they are still obvious scratches.

Based on these signs, Yang Jing can basically determine that Duan Xingzhi is definitely the most suspicious person!

Knowing that Yang Jing could be easily found out, why did Duan Xingzhi still summon Yang Jing into the palace?

Is it because Duan Xingzhi is worried that Gao will not give up, and is worried that Gao Taixiang will use this incident as an excuse to drive him off the dragon chair?

Yang Jing quickly came to a negative conclusion about this suspicion, because he actually didn't quite believe that Gao Taixiang would usurp the throne.

Because today's Gao Taixiang controls the entire Dali, there is not much difference from the actual King of Dali, what the King of Dali can do, he can also do, and even what the King of Dali can't do, he Gao Taixiang can still do.

And Gao Taixiang is an extremely pragmatic person, there is no need to carry the historical infamy of usurping the throne for the sake of the name of the king of Dali.

Duan Xingzhi should also know this, he just wants to regain real power.

Moreover, after all, this Gao Muyu is only Gao Taixiang's niece, and she is just an ordinary concubine, not a queen, and there are many pickled and filthy struggles in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, so if you find an excuse, you can also block Gao's mouth, so why bother asking Wei Zhibao to summon Yang Jing in front of Gao Taixiang?

So what is certain is that letting Yang Jing enter the palace to investigate the case is just an excuse, so what is Duan Xingzhi, the king of Dali, for?

In addition to solving the case, what else did he Yang Jing have to do so hard to summon Duan Xingzhi into the palace?

Yang Jing thought about it, and there was only one reason, and that was his status as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty!

However, this kind of thing can't be relied on speculation, Duan Xingzhi took so much effort to summon Yang Jing in, he naturally couldn't just let Yang Jing out, after all, there was a time to spread out and explain it clearly.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing was also relieved, and he reported to Wei Zhi: "Father-in-law Wei, I am tired of playing the prince, just say that the matter here has been clarified, please show the prince." ”

Wei Zhibao didn't have a good impression of Yang Jing, and as for where this disgust came from, Yang Jing still hadn't found a reason.

At this time, Wei Zhibao saw that Yang Jing had only been in a short period of half an hour, so he figured out the matter, and couldn't help but be surprised, and immediately walked out of the outer room of the dormitory and informed Duan Xingzhi.

Yang Jing covered the body of the jade concubine with a white cloth, but did not put the embroidered statue on it again, but admired the carving on the screen in front of the dragon couch.

After a while, Duan Xingzhi walked in, but Wei Zhibao didn't follow, and even the palace people and the inner guards didn't follow in!

"Sure enough" Yang Jing thought so in his heart, Duan Xingzhi had already walked to the inner bed, seeing that Yang Jing looked at that moment and did not turn around, Duan Xingzhi not only felt that Yang Jing was disrespectful, but was a little relieved.

"Ambassador Yang, this king is really desperate, I implore the ambassador to help, save my Dali Duan clan, and save my people in Dali!"

Duan Xingzhi walked over quickly, grabbed Yang Jing's hand, his face was sad and angry, and his eyes turned red.

This is the monarch of Dali, the co-owner of Dali who must not be despised in front of people, but at this time, he showed such a humble posture in front of Yang Jing, so he almost didn't kneel down to Yang Jing!

It is said that Yang Jing should be flattered and honestly afraid, but Yang Jing has already seen through all this, just gently withdrew his hand, and replied with some surprise and pretended to be frightened: "The prince can frustrate Yang Mouye, Yang Mou's deputy envoy, what kind of ability, besides, Longguan victory, the Mongols retreated, Dali was mighty all over the world, left a name in history, the whole country celebrated, and the prince came to be frightened again?"

Duan Xingzhi gritted his teeth and scolded angrily: "It is easy to drive away foreign captives, but it is difficult to get rid of internal thieves! This king summoned Ambassador Yang into the palace this time, and he has already gambled his entire net worth, and I hope that the ambassador will help this king!"

Although Duan Xingzhi was sincere and frank, Yang Jing pretended to be confused and said: "The prince can confuse Yang, the prince is the co-lord of Dali, and his status is respected, up to the civil and military officials, and the pawns of the peddlers, no one does not surrender, and he drove the dragon pass in person earlier, and his reputation is booming, so how can he be a thief?"

Duan Xingzhi was about to speak, but Yang Jing continued: "Besides, there is an internal thief, who can make the prince frightened to such an extent, what can I, a little envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, do?"

Duan Xingzhi was afraid that Yang Jing would refuse again, so he immediately grabbed Yang Jing's hand and said: "Ambassador Yang, this thief can't sit still, he wants to seek the orthodoxy of my Dali Duan clan, to occupy Dali's territory and subjects, and even wants to assassinate the king, although the Mongols have withdrawn, they may not come back, the Mongols never suffer, I can't say that after a year and a half, I will raise the sword soldiers again, if I Dali is in civil strife at that time, the Great Song Dynasty is also cold, the ambassador can't sit idly by!"

"Someone is going to murder the prince?" Yang Jing asked pretending to be surprised, Duan Xingzhi nodded solemnly and lifted his middle coat, but saw that there was a raised red mark on his fat and round belly, as if there was a red snake hidden under the skin, and the red snake extended from the lower abdomen and was about to climb to the navel!

"Ambassador Yang is afraid to know that this Gao Musk Jade is the daughter of the Gao family, these days by the king to celebrate the victory of Longguan, actually put the tiger and wolf medicine in the king's wine, after the king and her intimacy, he was delirious, often see my poor nurse, these two days are more and more out of control, I heard that Ambassador Yang is proficient in medical skills, I must be able to help this king see, what kind of poison is this!"

Yang Jing originally suspected that Duan Xingzhi was the culprit who scared Concubine Yu to death, and many clues pointed to him, but he didn't expect Duan Xingzhi to have such an inside story!

Could it be that Gao Taixiang really can't sit still and is going to attack the Duan family?
