The guards endured the severe pain: "Hou Ye Mingjian, there is really no movement below, and I haven't heard any movement,"

"It seems that he refuses to admit it." The Marquis of Zhenbei was too lazy to talk to a guard, he had often been ruthless over the years, but he couldn't use it on them after all, these were all good people.

"Lord Wei Xiao, what do you think?"

Fu Yin finally spoke, and then came out for him and said: "Master Hou, don't worry, the lower officials will handle it impartially." Give Ling Gongzi an explanation. ”

This is obviously perfunctory, prevaricating in the past, Lord Fu Yin generally said this in front of others, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was naturally dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer. But Fu Yin wanted to leave a good impression in front of Zhenbei Hou, but he couldn't find anything good to say, so he gave Wei Xiao a look.

Wei Xiao didn't ask the guards, but asked the little guy directly: "How long has it been between when you went in to call people and when you came back?" ”

Wen Huairong also paid attention to his expression, if he lied, he could see it at a glance.

The little guy thought for a while: "About... A quarter of an hour, not long. ”

Then he asked, "Has anyone ever been in the room?" ”

"Well, I haven't ...... this"

"Whether it's true or not."

"Yes......"

"You have to think about it. If there is a falsity in the middle, it affects my judgment. Can you afford to make a mistake? ”

The little guy knelt down directly: "What the villain said is the truth, everything is true, and I dare not be false." ”

Seeing this, Wei Xiao didn't ask more: "I don't know where Ling Gongzi's body is?" ”

Zhenbei Hou: "It's in the middle." ”

Wei Xiao: "Let me talk about it after I see it." ”

Zhenbei Hou: "Lord Wei, please." ”

At this time, Qi Zuo also followed, Wen Huairong had something to do with it, so naturally he also followed in, and the Marquis of Zhenbei didn't say anything, but just instructed his subordinates: "Go to the palace and tell Your Majesty that the Ninth Princess has come back alive." ”

The three of them went in together, and the inside was very neat, but it was too neat.

Jiang Beitao was lying on the bed, neatly dressed, his body still had residual warmth, his face was pale, and he had already died in white. But it looks like he's choked to death.

After a routine check-up, he opened his eyes and mouth, and reached out to grope around his ears and limbs for a while. Suddenly I touched something.

Wei Xiao also checked together, Wen Huairong didn't want to come over, this person died, it had nothing to do with her, and she only felt flustered and short of breath when she walked in.

"But what did you find?"

He hesitated for a moment: "My lord, the villain doesn't dare to lie, this Jiang Gongzi has no external injuries on his body, but there are some scratches on his arm, a slight fracture, and his face is pale." It looks like it's out of breath, choking to death, like ......"

Wei Xiao nodded, knowing the meaning of the pretend, and frowned slightly: "It can't be drowned in the air!" ”

Continue to look at the corpses.

"My lord, can I think about how to tell Zhenbei Hou?" ”

This Jiang Beitao is the favorite child of Zhenbei Hou, although he is a concubine, but no one in the capital knows that his treatment is much better than that of his brother who is a real prince.

Wei Xiao: "Go out and talk!" Zhenbei Hou is not an unreasonable person when he thinks about it. ”

The death of his son had nothing to do with them, and besides, they still died in their own homes. Speaking of which, the most suspicious is their family!

The two got up and went out, and Wen Huairong also went out together, anyway, after everyone finished reading it, there was nothing to see.

Outside, Zhenbei Hou was still waiting for Wei Xiao to give an explanation: "My lord, how is it?" ”

As soon as he saw the Hou of Zhenbei, he felt uncomfortable, so he naturally didn't dare to speak. Looking at Wei Xiao.

"You said that Gongzi Jiang Beitao was not feeling well when he came back, and he rested after taking medicine, did you eat this?" He picked up a white porcelain vase from the corner of the door next to him and handed it to the servant to look at.

The little guy looked left and right, and saw the word Jiang at the bottom of the porcelain bottle, and then confirmed: "Lord Hui, this is indeed the case, my son-in-law has asthma, and he takes this medicine when he is uncomfortable on weekdays." ”

When Zhenbei Hou heard it: "Asthma, why is the son uncomfortable when he comes back, why don't you go to the doctor to take a look?" ”

The little guy listened with sincere fear: "Master Hou, the son said that he would be fine after taking the medicine, so he didn't need to find a doctor." ”

This asthma disease is really unknown to anyone. He also knew that Jiang Beitao had asthma.

Wei Xiao poured out the bottle of Chinese medicine pills, sniffed it, pondered for a moment and finally remembered something: "Her Royal Highness the Princess? Come here! ”

"What?" When Wen Huairong heard this, he came over and looked at the bottle: "You smell it!" ”

Wen Huairong took the medicine in the bottle and looked at it again and again, and sniffed: "It seems to be the smell of pollen." ”

Smells like a mandala?

It is true that there is a smell of pollen in it, but it is not the pill itself that has this, and the inside of the bottle, there is a smell of pollen.

"Please ask the Marquis of Zhenbei to bring all the prince's family."

The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't know why he suddenly saw his family, but he still did so and brought Jiang Beitao's wife and concubine with him.

Speaking of which, it is also a family misfortune!

There is only one wife of Jiang Beitao. But what about this concubine......

Wen Huairong leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Will you have so many wives and concubines in the future?" Seeing that the courtyard was full of women, Wen Huairong felt that his three views were breathtaking?

Wei Xiao hurriedly explained: "The princess doesn't want to joke with Zaixia, Zai Xia is meager, how dare you think about this." ”

"Does that mean you've thought about it?" Wen Huairong affirmed.

Wei Xiao smiled with a smile on her face, but she couldn't stop saving her life in her heart, my God, can this little ancestor stop asking?

Although there are a group of wives and concubines, there is only one wife, and standing in front of them, looking at this thin person, it is hard to imagine that she is actually the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Those who don't know think that they are slaves and maids from somewhere.

When Zhenbei Hou saw his daughter-in-law like this, he was also distressed in his heart, this family affair was still begged by him licking his face, who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen, looking at his daughter-in-law's face, I thought that it was really not good to live this year.

I owe too much, and I can't make up for it if I have more, so I can only sigh on the sidelines.

Wife Borou, just like the name, soft and weak, looks like a good person, and she is usually bullied. Born in the royal family, he is separated by 108,000 miles from the Marquis of Zhenbei. But just because Jiang Beitao looked at Borou, he couldn't help but be surprised by her beauty.

I had a trouble with Zhenbei Hou for a month, and Zhenbei Hou also licked his face and begged for this family business. Ben didn't agree. But Concubine Jiang loves this nephew the most, and the wind blows in the emperor's ears twice in three days, blowing back and forth, a holy decree. If this family business doesn't work, it will be done.

Now only twenty-eight years old, she has become a widow. At the moment, his face was pale and he was silent.

The Hou of Zhenbei could only comfort him with gentle words: "Daughter-in-law, I have been in the Hou Mansion for a year, and I have suffered you." Serving my in-laws is extremely filial, and has never treated my Hou Mansion badly, and now we owe you a lot, and I happen to have no blood heirs, I should choose a day to negotiate with your father and take you back to your mother's house. Don't let you down. ”

Bo Rou's voice was low: "Thank you, Master Hou." ”

"......" Zhenbei Hou was a little embarrassed, not speaking, this Hou Ye, still see outside. Changed his tune so quickly.

Wei Xiao also held back his smile, but he was afraid that the Hou of Zhenbei would hold a grudge, so he still held back. This Borou has long wanted to reconcile and leave, who knows that this Jiang Beitao does not agree, he is unwilling to let this beauty go cheaply to others, and would rather put it at home and it will rot and stink, but he will not give others a taste.

Now that Jiang Beitao is dead, she can be regarded as relieved.

Wen Huairong didn't bother to talk nonsense, took out the porcelain bottle, and asked them if they had seen it, and a group of people saw the bottle, their faces were different, but they all denied that they hadn't seen it. And he asked them where they were at the time of the incident. A bunch of people were noisy and noisy. In short, I fell asleep and said it clearly. and all the maidservants testified.

After tossing for a long time, the Marquis of Zhenbei would have been impatient for a long time, if it weren't for the nine princesses here, he would have had a seizure.

"Lord Wei, what else do you have to ask?"

Wei Xiao: "I've asked everything I should ask, but there's one more thing, take a step to speak!" ”

The Marquis of Zhenbei asked his daughter-in-law Borou to take them back. Then he took them to the study.

During this period, Wen Huairong wanted to go back to sleep three times, but Wei Xiao refused.

Zhenbei Hou: "If you have anything to say, just ask." ”

"Dare to ask Master Hou if Ling Gongzi's asthma was brought out of his mother's womb."

How do you ask about this?

Zhenbei Hou was a little displeased: "Not bad." The doctor said that it was a problem brought out by the dog from the mother's womb, which was congenitally deficient and could not be cured, so it could only be maintained by medicine. Thankfully, it's not particularly serious. ”

I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, Zhenbei Hou asked, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly!" ”

Wei Xiao: "My guess is good, and the death of the son may be strange." ”

"Why do you say that!"

Wei Xiao: "I just heard the little guy who took care of Ling Gongzi say that Ling Gongzi was born with asthma, so he takes medicine all year round, so if someone wants to harm Ling Gongzi, he only needs to use his hands and feet on the medicine." ”

"What?" Zhenbei Hou reacted dissatisfied, and suddenly remembered the problem of this medicine. "Could it be that someone poisoned my son?"

Then Wei Xiao didn't answer this question, and continued what he had just said: "Besides, Ling Gongzi still has traces of being beaten with a stick, I think he was tortured first, and then poisoned." This kind of death is also deliberately done by someone, in order not to be discovered. so that he thought that he had asthma and died because he didn't have time to take medicine. ”

The Marquis of Zhenbei was shocked and furious: "Who dares to be so bold and kill my son." ”

Wen Huairong frowned, took the medicine bottle in Wei Xiao's hand, sniffed it carefully, and still felt that something was wrong.

"I don't know what kind of enemies Ling Gongzi usually have?" Wen Huairong closed the bottle, and already had the answer in his heart.

The anger gradually subsided, and the Marquis of Zhenbei was silent, if you want to say that a gentleman has no enemies, it is impossible.

Why doesn't he understand the truth of the tree?

Over the years, because of Jiang Beitao's identity and the things he has done, I don't know how many people have been offended, which is the reason why His Majesty is now unwilling to set him up as the son of the world.

"It is not right that there should be enemies in the midst of great calamity."

Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wen Huairong, does this mean that there will be someone in their inner house who is the murderer of Jiang Beitao?

Lord Fu Yin has already wiped his sweat and his hands hurt, what should I do about this? If you can't handle it, this black gauze hat will be lost.

But what about the people outside? It is not impossible for someone like Wei Xiao to be molested if he is uneven, not to mention those who have no power and power, if he has a grudge and revenge?

And his usual fox friends and dog friends, as soon as they get angry, they will fight, so it's not common to have enemies?

If you think about it this way, it's very likely that if you accidentally offend someone, you won't necessarily die.

But then, it's impossible to guess.

But Wen Huairong kept staring at his weak wife, as if he could see something.
