After some tossing, Qi Ning was already a little sober.

Feng Yihui came to Qi Ning's side, looking at the embarrassed hair, and his heart was full of feelings.

Qi Ning also recognized Feng Yihui, "Your Highness, you are finally back, my father was killed by someone, you must find out the murderer!"

Feng Yihui patted Qi Ning on the shoulder, "Don't worry, brother, the Qi family's business is my business! Let's see you in court tomorrow, they don't dare to embarrass you." ”

Qi Ning nodded, and then was taken away by Peng Peiao's officials.

Feng Yihui, Zuo Qing and others followed Lu Qifeng back to Qi Mansion.

As soon as they entered the palace, everyone was stunned, and the guards and subordinates in the palace were all gathered in front of the court to discuss, and the noise in the hall became louder and louder.

In the middle of the hall, two women quarreled, one with a high-pitched and aggressive voice, and the other with a soft-voiced voice and eloquent speech, but not to be outdone.

The tall woman said: "Qi Xiaoyan, let me tell you, I am the wife of the old man Ming Media is marrying, and now that the old man is gone, I am the head of the Qi Mansion, and I can't tolerate you, a person who marries outside, to talk too much!"

The gentle woman said: "Xue Yanmei, you have been married to the Qi Mansion for five years, and you have always been worried about the Qi family's industry, and the death of the master must be inseparable from you." ”

"I can't get out of it? Hehe, Qi Xiaoyan, you just got married to the Zhang family by the master, and you ran back by yourself the next day, I think you are dissatisfied with the master for letting you marry Zhang Gongzi, so you poisoned the master!"

"You are bloody, it's another thing for me to be unwilling to marry Zhang Gongzi, you don't want to get involved! On the contrary, it's you, who is bent on the key to the vault, and is embarrassed by me and the young master everywhere, your thoughts are obvious!"

"Hehe, tell you, the master has already explained to me before his death, the young master is cynical, it is difficult to be a big responsibility, you are just a girl who picked up, and you will no longer be a member of the Qi family when you marry in the future, so the master has already handed over the key to the vault to me!

"No way, it must be the key you got after poisoning your father!"

"The key was handed over to me by the master himself, and Steward Xu was present at the time, I don't believe you asked him!"

The old housekeeper Xu Guangwen had inconvenient legs and feet, standing next to him on crutches, looking at Mrs. Xue, and then at Miss Qi, the two women really couldn't intervene in the quarrel, shook their heads and sighed and walked out of the hall, and happened to foresee that the deputy general Lu Qifeng would bring people back in the courtyard.

Lu Qifeng came in and spread his hands, "Hey, why are you arguing again!"

Xu Guangwen waved his hand, "General Lu, you are finally back! Hey! We can't let them make trouble any longer, if we continue to make trouble, the Qi family will be defeated!"

Zuo Qing and the others saw that Steward Xu was an old man with a white beard, his face was full of vicissitudes, but he looked honest and loyal, with one leg lame and a single crutch under his armpit.

Lu Qifeng and everyone broke into the hall together, and Mrs. Xue and Miss Qi stopped arguing. Everyone saw that Mrs. Xue was plump, her face was like a peach blossom, and her whole body revealed the charm of a mature woman, while Miss Qi was tall and graceful, and after seeing everyone, she stood by shyly.

Lu Qifeng introduced Feng Yihui to everyone again, and the whole Qi Mansion saluted again, all respectfully.

Feng Yihui sat on the upper seat and began to ask about the accident of General Qi.

Steward Xu, Mrs. Xue, Lu Qifeng, Miss Qi and others spoke one after another, and then you and I added one by one, after everyone's gossip, Feng Yihui, Zuo Qing and others had a general understanding of the death of General Qi.

Especially when they repeatedly mentioned one thing, which made Zuo Qing and Mi Li pay extra attention.

That's it – the aroma of an eggplant.

No one is more familiar with this kind of thing than Zuo Qing and Mi Li.

And what happened to General Qi is like this:

Because Qi Zongbing fought all the year round, he was injured and his body would be in pain every night, so the doctor prescribed him a pair of ice tomatoes, and Qi Zongbing took this medicine every day to relieve pain.

But in the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Qi Ning, the son of Qi Zongbing, owed foreign debts because of gambling money, so he asked Qi Zongbing for pocket money, but Qi Zongbing did not give it, and the father and son gradually developed into a big quarrel from a small quarrel, and later Mrs. Xue, Steward Xu, and Deputy General Lu were all present.

Because of the early death of his biological mother, Qi Ning complained that his father remarried Mrs. Xue, who was only a few years older than Qi Ning, and was a beautiful young woman with infinite charm, and was quite favored by General Qi Bing, Qi Ning was very dissatisfied with this.

At that time, President Qi was so angry that he slapped the key to the Qi family's vault on the table, and declared that the vault would be entrusted to his wife Xue Yanmei. Then the dispute broke up unhappily, that night the county magistrate Peng Peiao also came to persuade and comfort Qi Zongbing, it is said that the two chatted until late, and Peng County ordered Fang to leave on the third watch.

Then Qi Zongbing stayed up all night, and the people saw that Qi Zongbing's adopted daughter Qi Xiaoyan sent a bowl of bird's nest porridge to Qi Zongbing that night, and an appropriate amount of ice eggplant fragrance had already been placed in the porridge, which was Qi Xiaoyan considering that his father would be more boring when taking medicine every day, so he thought of the method of mixing ice eggplant fragrance in bird's nest porridge, Qi Zongbing has been taking it like this every day in recent days, and there has been no accident.

At the same time, after Peng County's order left, Qi Ning came in again that night and had a big quarrel with Qi Zongbing, father and son broke up again, and then the lights in Qi Zongbing's house were kept on all night, and the next morning, when Xu's housekeeper called the door, he found that Qi Zongbing had died of poison, and half a bowl of bird's nest porridge fell to the ground.

When they learned this, everyone's eyes looked at Qi Xiaoyan, Qi Xiaoyan was frightened, and hurriedly explained, "I don't know, I send my father a bowl of bird's nest porridge every day in the evening, and every time the ice eggplant fragrance is also weighed in advance by the pharmacy, wrapped into small packets, the amount of each package is very accurate, there will be no problem." ”

Steward Xu also hurriedly explained, "Yes, I watched the children grow up, the young lady and the young master are very innocent and kind, the young lady has been educated by the old lady since she was a child, she has always been obedient and polite, she is very kind to anyone, and she is also very respectful to the master, it is impossible to do bad things." ”

Feng Yihui frowned, "Who did you see on the night of General Qi's accident?"

Mrs. Xue said: "After the quarrel that afternoon, I took the key to the vault and went straight back to my room, and I never saw the master again, and I heard the bad news the next morning. ”

"Yes, Madame was not present that night. Steward Xu said, "The people who saw the old man that day were Miss, Peng County Ling and Young Master." ”

"Lao Xu, do you mean to say that Peng Pei is proud ——?," Lu Qifeng asked.

Steward Xu shook his head, "I don't know, I don't dare to say anything without evidence, besides, people are well-known ......."
