Chapter 142: The Imperial Concubine's Mansion is cleverly arranged
At this time, the officials and officials who followed Lu Bu also walked in, and this scene instantly stunned everyone.
By the time Lang Zhong was invited, Yu Lun had already shown no signs of being alive.
Lu Bu knocked his head hard.
"This matter must be caused by someone behind it, and Tang Zhuangshi is no wonder." An errand officer comforted.
"These two are both serious criminals that the emperor wants to capture, and we have gone through hardships, but we only brought back two corpses, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to explain to the emperor when you go back." Lu Bu said.
"I also have to send someone to report this to the adults as soon as possible." The officer said.
The crowd came out.
Lu Bu turned around and grabbed a jailer who was following behind.
"Tell me the truth, who has been here?"
The jailer was caught by Lu Bu like this, and his bones were almost broken, and he kept inhaling in pain.
"Strong man, stop, after the villain changed shifts, no one was found here, and this matter needs to be asked to the person on duty last night."
"Who was on duty last night and where is it now?"
"That person's name is Crooked Mouth Qin, and he must have gone home." The man replied.
Lu Bu let go of the man.
The two errand officers and Lu Bu, led by a servant, hurried to the residence of the crooked mouth Qin.
This crooked Qin has no family and lives alone not far from the county office. The room was in chaos, and on a dirty table, there was still leftover wine and food, but no one was there.
Several people searched in the yard for a long time before they found him in the toilet near the gate.
However, it was still a step too late.
The guy was curled up in the corner of the toilet, the liquid coming out of the corner of his mouth had solidified, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
At noon, Bao Zheng and the county magistrate heard the news and rushed back.
The county magistrate's face turned pale with fright, and he knelt in front of Master Bao and blamed himself.
Master Bao ignored him.
I haven't recorded the crimes of Yu Lun and Jiang Shuping yet, and something like this happened, what does this poisoned person want to do?
Of course, with the evidence already in his possession, he could close the case in front of the emperor, and the emperor would not hold him accountable. However, Mr. Bao was still unwilling.
At this point, he had already thought of a person.
And this person is not Fei Yong, who is full of complaints about himself, but the amorous concubine - Fei Caihe.
The poison in the crooked mouth Qin was thrown into the wine, and Lord Bao instructed the county order to find out the source of the poison as soon as possible.
It wasn't until the evening that the county magistrate brought a person to Lord Bao's room.
"After many investigations, Xia Guan was unable to find out the source of the poison. However, it has been verified that this poison is the same as the poison in Yu Lun and Concubine Li, and it should come from the same place. The county magistrate kept wiping the cold sweat on his face.
In the place under his jurisdiction, such a big thing happened, even if this Kaifeng Mansion Yin did not blame himself, he would have a lot of impact on his promotion in the future.
The only hope is that this Lord Bao will not put the blame on himself.
Such a result was already expected by Bao Zheng.
"Can your county send someone to Uncle Guo's Mansion and invite Lord Shen Pu here?" Bao Zheng said in a consultative tone.
"Xiaguan ordered someone to go here." The prefectural commander replied and hurriedly retreated.
At this time, in Uncle Guo's mansion, Fei Caihe had just had dinner.
"Niangniang, I saw that bag of black heads after seeing Concubine Li's corpse, it looked very bad, he wouldn't go to Banzai to sue first because of this, right?" Qinglian sent away the two maids sent by Fei Yong, poured a cup of tea for Fei Caihe with her own hands, and then asked in a low voice.
Fei Caihe just smiled faintly.
"This concubine is innocent, even if this black head goes to Banzai to tell the truth, Banzai will not blame the head of this palace."
"Niangniang is naturally not afraid, but she is afraid of the cousin and the uncle of the country." Qinglian said.
Fei Caihe thought for a moment.
"Qinglian, you go to the front and invite my cousin here."
"Yes." Qinglian agreed and walked to the door, but turned back and asked, "Is it only the cousin who is alone?" ”
"Dead girl, don't mess around like this." Fei Caihe deliberately straightened his face and said angrily.
Qinglian giggled and left.
Not long after, Shen Pu walked in behind Qinglian.
"The cousin just talks to the mother in the house, and the slave maid goes to the garden of the house first." Qinglian said, without waiting for Fei Caihe and Shen Pu to say anything, she had already run out quickly.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Shen Pu came over and sat down beside Fei Caihe.
"Cousin, are you worried about the matter of the concubine?" Shen Pu asked.
"You and my brother and sister are here this time, just to avoid the eyes and ears of others, but they don't want to encounter these many changes suddenly, the little sister is afraid that it will affect her cousin, and she is very panicked, and she intends to leave for Beijing tomorrow, but I don't know what my cousin thinks?" Fei Caihe said.
Shen Pu was startled, and subconsciously grabbed one of Fei Caihe's small hands.
"Cousin, no."
Seeing Shen Pu's anxious appearance, Fei Caihe couldn't help but laugh and tried to force his expression to remain unchanged.
"Cousin, can't you give up? How about the little sister leaving Qinglian to accompany her cousin? ”
Shen Pu's face turned white with anxiety.
"My cousin is in the palace, not as free as me, Xiaosheng suffers from not being able to see you, his heart is like cooking oil, I want to take this opportunity to spend a few more days with you, in order to comfort the pain of missing, how can my cousin leave here? Although Qinglian is beautiful, in Xiaosheng's eyes, it is still inferior to his cousin's in case, Xiaosheng will never do such a cheap thing. ”
Fei Caihe's other hand pressed on the back of Shen Pu's hand and patted it gently.
"My cousin's affection, my little sister is afraid that she will not be able to repay it in this life. I wish that in the next life, you and I will become husband and wife, and never do such fearful things again. ”
Shen Pu nodded.
"It's just that this bag of adults came here to arrest criminals, but they didn't want people to die in my brother's house, if that bag returned to Beijing to restore the order, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to my brother." Fei Caihe said.
"Cousin, rest assured, Xiaosheng has been with that bag of adults for a long time, and knows that his wisdom is outstanding. Thinking that Concubine Liniang was afraid of punishment and committed suicide, Lord Bao would not blame her cousin. Shen Pu said.
"Having said that, my brother must no longer be an official of the DPRK and China, and if he is involved in the case, it will be difficult to tell." Fei Caihe shook his head and said.
"My cousin is in a hurry to return to Beijing, is this all because of this?"
"The younger sister returns to Beijing, if the elder brother is involved in this case, the younger sister should be able to prove it to the elder brother, so as not to be suspicious."
Shen Pu lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
"If Xiaomei really can't rest assured, Xiaosheng can go to the bag to inquire about it and see what he plans to do about it?"
"I'm afraid that Lord Bao won't tell the truth to his cousin." Fei Caihe still seems to have some doubts.
"Cousin, don't worry, just wait for good news at home." Shen Pu must not have Fei Caihe's scheming.
After years of palace battles, Fei Caihe was able to overwhelm the crowd and get the emperor's favor as the emperor's favorite concubine, and his wisdom was naturally not comparable to Shen Pu.
Moreover, Shen Puman only had Fei Caihe in his eyes, so naturally he would not have thought that he would be used by her.
The sound of untimely footsteps startled the two of them.
A maid ran in.
"Qiyu Imperial Concubine Niangniang, there is someone sent by Lord Bao outside who wants to see my cousin."
