"Oh? You are a groom, staring at the yard of the show girl for no reason, and you are a slave brought in by the Jiang family, and you can't count the testimony. ”

Yan Mingxi denied Chen Jian'an's testimony and did not take him seriously.

There is a law in Ming Xia that the slaves of their own lowly nationality cannot be used as witnesses to defend their masters, because the masters sentence the slaves to sit together, so most of the slaves will commit perjury in order to protect themselves.

Chen Jian'an opened his mouth to argue, but was interrupted by Yan Mingxi and did not give him a chance to defend.

"The Imperial ·····"

"Your Majesty! This slave spied on the show girl's house privately, and he should have dragged out the stick and beaten to death, so as to set the record straight! ”

Jiang Fu was anxious, if he killed Chen Jian'an, wouldn't he have killed his whole family!

"The Imperial ·····"

Yan Mingxi also didn't give Jiang Fu a chance to speak, and his voice raised an octave, overshadowing her voice, and preemptively said:

"Your Majesty! Now that the evidence is conclusive, she should be immediately dragged down and put in prison.

Your Majesty should also be tired, it is better to hand her over to the West Factory to deal with, you and Niangniang go back to rest first. ”

No, you're sick, aren't you???

Jiang Fu was choked by him, didn't he just rely on his voice to be high-pitched.

Adults bully children, so shameless!

The Emperor's right hand rested on the table, and his index finger tapped twice on the table, a movement he would only have when he was impatient.

Yan Mingxi knew that it was done, as long as he worked harder······

"Who said he was cheap?"

Just when Jiang Fu was anxious, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside, which made her suddenly show a happy expression.

In the next second, Jiang Guangyao strode in in a black python robe, kicked Yan Mingxi's buttocks who was kneeling on the ground, and then walked to the table and knelt on one knee on the ground without stopping.

"Oops~"

Yan Mingxi's buttocks hurt, and he almost threw himself in front of him to eat shit.

Jiang Guangyao looked back in surprise as if he had just noticed him:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I'm in a hurry to say hello to Your Majesty, I didn't see you."

apologized on his lips, but muttered in his heart with relief:

[It's you who kicked, let you bully my daughter!] 】

When Jiang Fu heard this, a burst of grievances suddenly appeared in her heart, obviously she could be calm and calm in the face of the emperor just now, but now that her father came, those suppressed grievances slowly came to her head.

So big people can't see it?

Zhang Guifei covered her face with a handkerchief, and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Jiang Guangyao didn't wait for Yan Mingxi's reaction, turned around and arched his hand, and said to the emperor with a solemn face:

"Your Majesty, when the minister heard that someone dared to assassinate in front of the emperor, he immediately rushed here.

This matter must be strictly investigated to the end, dare to poison the show girl in the remote area today, and dare to murder the emperor in the main courtyard tomorrow! ”

The head of Jiang Chang knows how to sit together, and in an instant, the harem murder case was sublimated into a rebellion and rebellion case, and the rebellion is such a big crime, Dongchang can't do anything!

"Lord Jiang is too worrying to say this, and what do you mean when you say that he is not a lowly member? Our family remembers that this person is the chauffeur of your Jiang family, what else can he be if he is not a slave? ”

Yan Mingxi reached behind with one hand and quietly rubbed the place where he had been kicked just now, looking at Jiang Guangyao and asked with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Jiang Guangyao pulled Chen Jian'an's collar and pulled him in front of him to introduce to the emperor:

"This person's surname is Chen Jian'an, and he is the second son of Chen Mingjie, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and because of a coincidence, he temporarily helped the little girl catch a car, so his testimony is completely available."

Chen Jian'an was carried by Jiang Guangyao, and he was not very comfortable with the emperor, and agreed with Jiang Guangyao's statement.

Jiang Guangyao threw him casually and continued:

"The minister thinks that this matter is quite strange, and the manager said that he would hand it over to them in the West Factory, but this matter came out under the noses of their West Factory, who knows if there will be ghosts in it?

It doesn't matter if you wronged the little girl, but if you let go of the gangsters who rushed to poison in front of the emperor, wouldn't it put Your Majesty and Niangniang in a dangerous situation? Mr. Yan said that the officials were worried, but if Your Majesty really made any mistakes, can Mr. Yan be responsible? ”

Yan Mingxi glared at him angrily and retorted:

"You're spewing blood!"

The Emperor yawned and raised his hand to shut them all.

"The two Aiqing are all reasonable, since it is inconvenient for the East and West No. 2 factories to intervene in this matter, then I will appoint Chen Ergongzi as the ambassador of the Qincha and be in charge of this case.

Chen Er, I will give you twelve hours, if you can solve the case, I will be rewarded. But if you can't find out, then you can only take her to prison! ”

It is normal for the snipe and the clam to compete for the benefit of the fisherman, but no one thought that the clam would be Chen Jian'an.

Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on him.

Chen Jian'an was stunned for two seconds, and decisively kowtowed to thank him, he didn't take advantage of the bastard.

Jiang Guangyao was not satisfied with such a result, if Chen Jian'an couldn't find the result, wouldn't his daughter have to become a substitute for the dead?

He still wanted to fight for it, but the emperor obviously didn't want to dwell on it any longer.

Jiang Guangyao had no choice but to hope that Chen Jian'an's male protagonist's aura could be covered, otherwise he would end up with this damn plot and the male protagonist!

The emperor took the concubine back to rest, and the show girls all returned to their courtyards.

Jiang Guangyao was afraid that Yan Mingxi would play tricks, so he left a few people to send to Chen Jian'an, and it was inconvenient for him to stay in the summer resort without a summons, so he instructed Jiang Fu to leave first.

Jiang Fu sent Zhang Songying away, and followed Chen Jian'an to investigate the real culprit.

They had limited time and had to act immediately.

"Did you really see someone enter Huo Tingfang's yard?"

Jiang Fu walked beside Chen Jian'an with her skirt, not believing that there was such a coincidence.

"I'm talking nonsense."

Chen Jian'an sighed helplessly, in that situation at that time, if she didn't say so, she was going to be dragged away and beaten to death.

Jiang Fu showed an expression that was really like this, and patted him on the shoulder appreciatively:

"Oh, yes, the boy has a very promising future."

The first step in entering officialdom is to learn to lie, to lie without blushing and without a beating heart.

"But if you don't have that suspicious person, where are you going to start?"

If Jiang Fu is allowed to torture, she is an expert, but she is not good at investigating cases.

Chen Jian'an already had a plan in his heart.

"Let's go see Miss Huo's body first."

Huo Tingfang's body was still at the gate of Chengde Garden, and the white cloth on the corpse was half blown off by the wind, revealing her swollen waist and bruised fingers.

Jiang Fu walked over and squatted on the ground, raised her hand to lift the remaining half of the white cloth, and held her chin to look at her face.

"It's really a ghost to cover his face, it's hard for that old eunuch, and he has also collected such a difficult poison."

can steal his purse in the summer resort unknowingly, and can poison Huo Tingfang without alarming anyone, except for Xichang, he simply doesn't think about it.

Chen Jian'an also thinks so.

And it was Huo Tingfang who died, so the purpose of the West Factory may not only be Jiang Fu, but also for the secret letter that Huo Tingfang handed over to him!

Then the real culprit who colluded with foreign enemies and caused General Huo to be captured is also about to come out·······

"This poison rarely appears in the Central Plains, and many people don't know that its incubation period is actually very long, and it will take at least 12 hours to attack."

Jiang Fu interrupted Chen Jian'an's musings and told him about the medicinal properties of this poison.

Her father really has this thing in his hand, but he is usually very precious and reluctant to use it.

Chen Jian'an's expression froze, and he calculated the time.

"Judging from the time when Miss Huo was poisoned, she was already poisoned when she was in the cottage."

"Poisoned in the cottage, the person who poisoned it must be a show girl.

Hehe, if you want me to say, first arrest Wu Mingyu and beat him, and everything will be clear. ”

Civilian show girls can't get such a rare poison, if you want to say who poisoned it, isn't Wu Mingyu the most suspicious!

When she was in the cottage, she pretended to be weak and helpless, and she was scared to death, and she still had time to poison others, so she really underestimated her.

Chen Jian'an shook his head.

"Catch the thief and catch the dirty, no matter who is suspected, we must first find the evidence."

Jiang Fu pouted, okay, let's find it.

Chen Jian'an carefully observed Huo Xiangjun's exposed skin, he picked up Huo Tingfang's wrist and looked at her fingernails turned out.

The nails were stuck in scraped scraps of flesh.

"Wait, do you see what's in her nails?"

Jiang Fu grabbed Chen Jian'an's hand and raised it, observing the things in Huo Tingfang's nails by the moonlight.

Chen Jian'an was a little uncomfortable being caught by her, and his fingers moved slightly.

"Look, what are these white powders?"

Chen Jian'an heard this, regardless of whether the man or woman gave or not, and looked up at the fine white powder between his fingernails.

The powder was very delicate, like the incense powder that a woman used to wipe her face.

Chen Jian'an sent someone to fetch a silver needle, picked out the powder, and put it on the paper to distinguish it carefully.

"It's the taste of Poria powder."

The smell of Poria cocos is very strong and easily recognizable, and this medicinal powder is generally used to treat eczema and sores, and is commonly used by palace eunuchs.

Most of the eunuchs live in a dark and damp environment, and their living habits are prone to sores.

The ghost will only start to itch all over the body after covering her face and poisonous hair, and these powders show that when Huo Tingfang was poisoned, there was a second person in her room!

"You've really been fooled, someone really has entered her room, as long as we can find out the identity of that person, the matter will be clear!"

Jiang Fu also thought of this, clapped his palms together, pulled Chen Jian'an and stood up and ran towards Huo Tingfang's yard.

The two came all the way to the outside of the courtyard where Huo Tingfang lived, this courtyard looked much stronger than the fence wall in Jiang Fu's courtyard, at least there were walls around it, and ordinary people couldn't climb it up to that height.

The two of them entered through the main gate and found that the courtyard was a separate courtyard, with only one gate in front.

If someone came in and waited until Huo Tingfang died of poison and then left, the palace maid and the patrolling guards would not have found out.

There were no traces of a fight in Huo Tingfang's bedroom, only the teapot and teacup she knocked over when she was poisoned.

Chen Jian'an came out of the bedroom and walked around the wall to the back of the house, where there were several verdant bamboos, he pushed open the bamboo and walked inside, and was surprised to see a small door on the wall behind the house.

He summoned the little palace maid who was waiting in this courtyard and asked:

"What's the back of this?"

The little palace maid glanced at the door and replied respectfully:

"There is a concubine of the former emperor who lives in the courtyard next door, she had died a prince in the early years, and since then her consciousness has been a little confused.

The two courtyards were originally interconnected, but when the concubine was ill, she often ran to this courtyard to go crazy, so the small door in this corner was locked. ”

Chen Jian'an stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but sure enough, it didn't open it, and the door was locked from the other end.

"Take us to the opposite yard."

Jiang Fu, who came from behind, instructed the palace maid, if someone came and left, then this small door is undoubtedly the best escape route!

The little palace maid reluctantly bowed her head and led the two of them towards the opposite courtyard, looking at her expression as if there was something hidden in the opposite courtyard.
