Chapter 40: Wu Zhang was poisoned

Chen Wenyuan personally led the government soldiers, mercilessly detained all the people in his mansion in front of this third-grade officer, put on heavy shackles, pressed the prison car one after another, and unabashedly escorted step by step into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, and the Yan family guarded it, which was several times more than the usual guards.

The reason why Chen Wenyuan did it personally in all aspects was because there was no one in front of him in this case, Yuan Chongxing had already withdrawn from the case, and he was caught off guard by the turning point that took place later, and it was his responsibility to prepare to close the case.

Chen Wenyuan's face was pale, his clenched palms were slightly sweating, and at the same time, he was also very glad that he acted quickly and made up for it in time, so he just had to look at Wu Zhang and the others and wait for the Holy Judge, otherwise he, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, would have done it.

"Come on, add two more waves of patrols outside the prison, and if anyone approaches, take them all."

Chen Wenyuan's mouth was dry, he licked his lips, paced back and forth in the room, and felt still uneasy, so he shouted outside the door, and one of the guards outside the door left.

Chen Wenyuan finally fell asleep on the table under the anxiety of sincere fear, and the table was filled with the recital he had just written and planned to present tomorrow. Outside the room, the darkness filled the surroundings, as if it was like a giant beast devouring the sky, devouring all the light before it stopped.

The Jingzhaofu prison in the northwest corner of the capital city is surrounded by patrolling guards, guarding layer by layer, the surrounding silence is terrible, and the cell head in the deepest part of the prison is guarding the outside of the prison where Wu Zhang and others are held with their eyes like torches.

Wu Zhang's previous majesty and stability no longer existed, Wu Che sat slumped against the wall with a dead heart, his eyes were dull, his hands couldn't stop trembling slightly, Wu Zhang's wife held her trembling son, tears slipped down from her fair and delicate face and then disappeared, and the rest of the Wu Mansion was also panicked and frightened, and several servants with hatred in their eyes looked at Wu Zhang's family.

……

Yufu

You Qingyun hurriedly walked out of the secret room, his face was slightly ruddy, his expression was delighted, the corners of his mouth rose, and he came directly to Xie Feng's room from the backyard.

"Qingyun, what's wrong with you?"

You Qingyun had just walked into the room, and Mu Yu'an, who was protecting his muscles and veins for Xie Feng all the time, saw You Qingyun's expression strange and slightly pale.

"Sister Yu'an, I have made a slight breakthrough in my realm, leave the rest to me, sister, you have worked hard."

When Mu Yu'an heard this, he looked at You Qingyun again, and he actually reached the realm of six grades, and then sensed his meridians, his internal strength was extremely strong, even compared with himself, it was already seventy or eighty percent.

"Qingyun, congratulations, this Vientiane is indeed magical."

Mu Yu'an herself is a master in the late stage of the seventh grade, and she knows You Qingyun's current strength very well, even if the two of them fight, she is not sure that she can win You Qingyun within a hundred moves.

was surprised at first, and then happy for him, so that You Qingyun would be much safer in the future, and Uncle You would have a successor.

"Sister, don't let anyone in."

After You Qingyun finished speaking, he sat on the bed, his palms were attached to Xie Feng's back, he could feel Xie Feng's faint breathing, which was also the credit of Mu Yu'an's frequent internal force to protect his heart.

Without waiting, You Qingyun immediately threw his whole body into it, squinting his eyes slightly, and the internal force of the meridians slowly entered Xie Feng's body from his palms like a thin stream.

……

The Imperial Study

"What about Wu Zhang? Let him roll over. ”

Emperor Nan Tianyi looked at Chen Wenyuan's fold with an angry expression, first threw it under the table, and then shouted angrily.

"Wechen has put their entire mansion in prison overnight, waiting for the holy judgment."

When the emperor heard this, his anger subsided a little, and then he calmed down, and Chen Wenyuan's trembling body slowly got up.

"Wang Zhi, you go to the Yin Prison of Jingzhao Mansion and bring Wu Zhang over."

An oracle was transmitted from the imperial study to Wang Zhi, the commander of Yulinwei, and then led dozens of Yulinwei to the prison, although there were only a few dozen people, but they were all the elite of the elite, as if there were thousands of troops and horses, and the sense of oppression was full.

The people along the street got out of the way, wondering if something big was going on.

Wang Zhi shuttled through the streets from the center of the north of the Imperial Palace in Shangjing, and after a while, he came to the gate of Yin Prison in Jingzhao Mansion in the west of the city.

"Emperor Xuan's edict, escort Wu Zhang to see him."

Wang Zhi glanced at the patrolling guards outside the prison, and immediately dismounted and walked from under the stone steps to the entrance of the prison, and the guards on both sides of the station knelt down and saluted.

"Oh no, it's dead, it's all dead."

Just as Wang walked straight into the depths of the prison, a guard staggered and shouted in horror.

"What? Whoever dies, who dies! ”

"Wu Zhang, everyone in the Wu Mansion."

Wang Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the guard's shoulder with a solemn and anxious expression, and asked repeatedly, only to see the guard repeat a few words in shock, and then confirm Wang Zhi's guess.

"Come on, immediately block all directions of Yin Prison in Jingzhao Mansion, and no one is allowed to go out."

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the depths of the prison alone, and the golden armor on his body made a tinkling sound because of his movements.

Wu Zhang fell at the front of the cell door, followed by his wife, son, and other male and female servants, all fifty or sixty people were dead, the corpses were some superimposed and some were lying on the ground in different positions, curled up with painful expressions, as if they were complaining bitterly about their tragic situation before death.

"They... All poisoned! ”

Even if Wang Zhi didn't know how to treat medicine, he knew why they died, and he should have eaten the food sent by the guards.

"Someone, bring your full-time cooks and food deliverers."

And the head of the prison history cell standing behind him hurriedly knelt down and replied tremblingly:

"My lord, I just found these two people, and they have been killed."

Wang Zhi's resolute and angular face became more and more solemn, daring to poison the minister of Sanpin, knowing that there might be a lot of involvement behind this matter, and it was no longer something that he could participate in at his level, so he could only play it truthfully and hand it over to the emperor for ruling.

Inside the Imperial Study

When the guards reported that Wu Zhang's entire mansion had been poisoned, the emperor's face changed several times, first shocked, then Long Yan was furious, and immediately only said one sentence:

"Spread my word, this case is fully handed over to the Heavenly Supervisor Si Luo Feiyun."

After Emperor Nan Tianyi finished speaking, he hurriedly walked in the other direction of the palace.

The eunuch Wang Sheng followed behind the emperor, cautiously, not daring to make the slightest sound, and he didn't see at all that Emperor Nan Tianyi was not as angry as he had left the imperial study before.

"Empress Xuan is coming to the Imperial Garden."

The emperor, who had his back to Wang Sheng, said coldly, then turned around and walked to the corridor behind the imperial study, where was the location of the imperial garden.

After a while, Empress Yingying walked behind the emperor and gently placed the soup bowl held by the maid behind her on the stone table.

"It's been a long time since you've been to see Xu'er."

Emperor Nan Tianyi did not immediately look back at the empress, and after saying a word with his back to her, his eyes were still looking at the sparkling water, and the fish of different colors and patterns for more than ten days followed the place where the bait in his hand was scattered, moving and moving.

After Emperor Nan Tianyi finished spreading the bait in his hand, he wiped his hands before he glanced back at the queen who was standing aside.

"It's been more than two months."

"Your Majesty, this is the rain flower soup that the concubine cooked for you in a hurry"

After hearing this, Nan Tianyi slowly sat back on the stool next to the stone table, looked at the soup bowl, and his expression changed slightly from indifference to mildness.

"Find a time to see Xu'er, be the master of your harem, go down."

After the queen heard this, her tense nerves relaxed slightly, how could she not understand the meaning of the emperor's words when she could be the queen.

After the queen cautiously bowed in thanks, she turned and walked out of the imperial garden.

The northwest corner of the Royal Palace

The second prince was in the spacious kitchen, fanning the fire with a pu fan, and there was a medicine jar on the stove, and a faint fragrance with the smell of medicine came out from the crack in the lid of the jar.

"Your Highness, it's done neatly, they can't find any information, this letter was found on Wu Zhang's body, Your Highness, how do you think it should be handled?"

After hearing this, the second prince Nan Yu slowly got up, turned his head to look at his subordinates, his eyes were calm like a wave of river, without any waves.

"Didn't my father ask Heavenly Supervisor Si Luo Feiyun to investigate the murder of Wu Zhang. Then find a suitable opportunity for them to discover the letter. ”

After Nan Yu finished speaking, he sat on the small stool in front of the fire, continued to fan the fire, and after his subordinates left, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled and said something that only he could hear.

"Big brother, I'll surprise you, let's exchange courtesies."

The letter that Nan Yu's subordinates found was the letter that Wu Zhang came to ask the crown prince Nan Xu to reply to Wu Zhang, if this letter was put in front of the emperor's desk, the consequence might not be a simple confinement.

Sure enough, as Nan Yu thought, in the palace of the East Palace, the queen came to visit her son at the order, and also brought the news that Wu Zhang was killed in the Yin prison of Jingzhao Mansion.

"Queen Mother, did someone find anything on him before Wu Zhang died, did he say anything before he died?"

Prince Nanxu fidgeted, hurriedly grabbed the queen's sleeve, and asked anxiously.

The queen sat aside, looked at her son's frightened appearance, said with some pity and some doubts:

"Something to do with you?"

Prince Nanxu nodded, seeing that he didn't make it clear, and then said:

"Wu Zhang wanted to save his son and came to beg me, I gave him advice to escape by faking his death, and also wrote a letter to him, and I also asked Qin Fu to contact Yuan Chongxing, who handled the case."

After the crown prince Nanxu finished speaking, his expression was sad, his eyes were a little fluttering, and whenever he thought of the majesty of his father, his body couldn't help but tremble.

The queen took him in her arms with pity, like a mother to comfort her child.

"Wu Zhang shouldn't have said anything before he died, when your father was preparing to edict Wu Zhang, he was poisoned, and as for the letter you said, there is no whereabouts."

After hearing this, the prince stabilized his mind slightly, and then thought of the missing letter, and became anxious again.

The queen looked at him and smiled slightly, and said leisurely:

"You kid, the notes of the letters can be imitated."

Nan Xu's trembling body settled slightly, and then exhaled deeply.
