The Brocaded Tale of The Girl Si

Zhen Shicheng walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with the servant, lowered his eyes and greeted the empress: "Wei Chen has seen the emperor and the empress."

In addition to the emperor, there are Jiang Si and King Qi in the hall. They all came from Kunning Palace, and the unconscious Concubine Qi still stayed there.

"Zhen Aiqing, is there any progress in the investigation?" Emperor Jing Ming couldn't wait to know the situation, his face was still calm.

Zhen Shicheng quickly glanced at Jiang Si from the corner of his eye, a kind of kindness to see his own family.

He has been itching for a long time since the weather has been calm recently.

It can be said that since returning to Beijing to become the governor of Shuntian, the girl from the Jiang family has almost contracted most of the serious and important cases he handled.

Tsk tsk, Jiang Si is really talented.

Zhen Shicheng couldn't help but glance at Jiang Si more.

Emperor Jing Ming frowned and thought angrily: what did he ask Lao Zhen, what did Lao Zhen look at his daughter-in-law?

Hmph, don't think he doesn't know that this old man once wanted to hire the seventh daughter-in-law to his son. Could it be that he hasn't given up yet?

It's a pity, my father-in-law Dong Pingbo didn't like it!

Thinking of this, Emperor Jing Ming's affection for Jiang Ancheng greatly increased, and he turned to the thought of Jiang Ancheng's loss of his son, and felt guilty again.

No, I have to make up for this sensible, interesting, and insightful in-law.

Emperor Jing Ming was distracted for a while, thinking about how to compensate Jiang Ancheng.

People's sons have all died for the country, and the white-haired people send the black-haired people, no amount of compensation can be overstated.

Emperor Jing Ming had an idea: then let Earl Dongping inherit the title of the third generation. Dong Pingbo is still young, and it is still too late to marry a wife and have children to inherit the title.

Zhen Shicheng didn't know that because he looked at Jiang Si more than once, it aroused the sense of crisis of his competitor, the old emperor, and a huge pie was about to hit Dongping Uncle's head.

He cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen has found out something."

King Qi, who was standing on one side, immediately raised his heart.

Whether Li's matter will be exposed or not depends on Zhen Shicheng.

Although King Qi had the idea of ​​treating Princess Qi as an abandoned son when he met Princess Qi earlier, it would be best if things were not revealed. After all, no matter how to get rid of the relationship, it is impossible for him to have no effect.

"Zhen Aiqing, speak carefully." Emperor Jing Ming straightened his face.

He knew that Zhen Shicheng was capable, so it could be seen that he had not chosen the wrong person.

"Wei Chen's subordinates found an incense ball on the edge of a cliff. After cross-examination, they found out that the incense ball was thrown from Princess Qi's carriage. Wei Chen took out the fragrance from the incense ball and tried it out, and found that people would lose their whole body soon after inhaling the incense. Powerless, unable to move..."

Hearing this, Emperor Jing Ming immediately glanced at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si said at the right time: "Father, after the daughter-in-law got into the fourth sister-in-law's carriage, she saw that the incense ball was exquisite and cute, and the strange fragrance in the car smelled very good. I even asked the fourth sister-in-law curiously."

"What did she say?" Emperor Jing Ming asked immediately.

Jiang Si glanced at King Qi and said, "She said that the incense came from overseas, which is very rare. If I like it, I will ask someone to give it to me."

Emperor Jing Ming's eyes were like knives, and he swept towards King Qi: "Fourth, do you know what incense it is?"

King Qi's face turned pale, and he said in panic, "My son pays little attention to the things that women are used to, and I don't know what fragrance Li's uses..."

"The wreckage of the carriage that fell off the cliff and the corpse of the horse have also been found." Zhen Shicheng said, and immediately drew everyone's attention back.

Emperor Jing Ming was slightly surprised: "I found it so quickly?"

In his opinion, it is very rare for Zhen Shicheng to find out that the incense in the incense ball was the "culprit" that made Princess Qi and Princess Yan unable to move in such a short period of time.

Zhen Shicheng explained: "The cliff is not too deep from the bottom of the cliff, and there is a small road that leads directly to the bottom of the cliff. There happened to be a person in the yamen who lived nearby and was very familiar with the terrain there, so he quickly led some people down to the bottom of the cliff and found horses."

Speaking of this, Zhen Shicheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "Not only did we find the carriage and horse, but Wei Chen's subordinates also studied the horse's corpse and found out the reason for the horse's madness--"

Emperor Jing Ming narrowed his eyes and asked anxiously, "What's the reason?"

"My subordinates have found in the stomach of a horse a kind of herbal residue that can make the horse go mad.

"

The queen, who had been quiet all along, moved her brows.

Emperor Jing Ming's face was ugly: "In other words, the horse pulling the cart was frightened because he took poisonous herbs?"

"Exactly."

Emperor Jing Ming was silent for a moment, then asked Shen Shen, "So what is Zhen Aiqing's conclusion?"

Zhen Shicheng didn't hesitate at all, and said, "When the two princesses stopped at Baiyun Temple, it should have been the chauffeur of Prince Qi's mansion who took the opportunity to feed the horses with fodder mixed with poisonous weeds, which caused the horses to startle, and the incense balls hung in the carriage at that time began to frighten the horses. As a result, the people in the car are completely powerless and unable to escape...According to common sense, Wei Chen believes that Princess Qi wants to be detrimental to Princess Yan—"

"Impossible!" King Qi suddenly interrupted Zhen Shicheng's words.

Zhen Shicheng looked at King Qi with a calm tone: "What is your objection?"

King Qi's expression was tense, and he said displeasedly, "Don't Master Zhen think this speculation is very absurd?"

Zhen Shicheng stroked his beard and asked slowly, "What does the lord think is absurd?"

King Qi sneered: "If it's true that my wife wants to be unfavorable to Princess Yan, why did she put herself in danger? Does she want to die and die with Princess Yan?"

King Qi asked twice in a row, causing Emperor Jing Ming to nod secretly.

His doubts are also here.

He didn't pay too much attention to the relationship between the fourth daughter-in-law and the seventh daughter-in-law, but it wasn't to the point of dying together.

"Why doesn't Master Zhen speak?" King Qi raised his eyebrows and asked, his eyes cold.

Zhen Shicheng bowed his hands, and his tone was very calm: "I can't figure out why Princess Qi died with Princess Yan. If you want to know the reason, I'm afraid you have to ask Princess Qi."

King Qi sneered and said, "Could this be Mr. Zhen's discernment? After only finding some superficial evidence, he ignored all kinds of unreasonable things, insisted that it was his wife's actions, and even said the reason for asking his wife such ridiculous things!"

Zhen Shicheng looked at King Qi and sighed softly: "I can understand the prince's puzzlement. However, I pointed out that the two princesses who were in danger were planned by Princess Qi, not just by the poisonous weeds in the horse's stomach and the incense balls. Poisonous incense, but there is more important evidence."

"What evidence?" This time, Emperor Jing Ming and King Qi asked in unison.

Jiang Si stood with his eyes down, his expression calm.

The queen stared at Zhen Shicheng, wondering what evidence he could come up with.

Zhen Shicheng didn't give up, he coughed softly, "The driver of the Prince Qi's mansion has explained it."

Several people were stunned, as if they did not understand what Zhen Shicheng meant.

Zhen Shicheng looked at King Qi and explained, "Under the interrogation, the driver of your house explained that Princess Qi ordered him to mix poisonous weeds into the forage—"

So, when did he only rely on speculation, he has evidence.
