Chapter 98
"Princess Anping is a ghost."
"Yong Zhonghou was blinded by the ghost."
"The Marquis of Yongzhong fastens Princess Anping to his belt every day."
"The Holy One turned a blind eye to escape the punishment of conscience."
A basket of gossip buzzed the emperor's ears every day.
"Remember the deadline I gave you, if you can't catch the murderer, don't go to court!"
As a result, Shangguan Yuan's qualification for court meeting was deprived like this.
Every day before dawn, they dragged their guns and shouted and practiced outside the Linlang Hall. When Qianru finished washing up, they would investigate the case together.
There was no scar on the body of the corpse, and there was nothing abnormal in the hair.
Wu made an autopsy and concluded that Antai's daughter died by inhaling poisonous powder because there were many bleeding lesions in her lungs.
However, there was no poison powder left in the nasal cavity of the corpse, and the source of the poison was not found at the crime scene, so it was impossible to detect what kind of poison it was.
In Qianru's memory, from waking up to falling asleep that day, there was nothing abnormal at all.
In hot weather, corpses decompose quickly.
I used a lot of antiseptic spices as soon as possible, but it still couldn't cover the rancid smell that spread.
After getting Antai's consent, Shangguan Yuan buried the body.
The only clue was broken.
Shangguan Yuan didn't seek to make progress or do his job properly, he completely put aside the fearful words of others, and just stayed with her in the Linlang Hall every day.
During the day, he hugged her to enjoy the shade under the trees and eaves, and at night, he wiped her hands and soaked her feet.
Qianru clearly felt that Shangguanyuan no longer had any hope of finding the murderer.
But she didn't want to just give up.
If the bad guys can kill her once without anyone noticing, they may do it a second time.
She didn't want to be caught without a fight.
So she thought of a way to beat those people she offended when she was the daughter of Antai one by one, and investigate whoever showed their feet.
"Maybe it's a way, then who have you offended?"
Qianru spread out the paper and took a pen to list a bunch of names.
Shangguan Yuan picked the most suspect among them, Rongguo Duke Xu Huaishan.
"He is the Duke, and you are the Marquis. Let's 'beat' him, and he may be thrown out! Why don't you prepare some gifts and visit him once or twice."
So Shangguanyuan prepared two fresh fish, a pair of turkeys, a pig, and a box of ghost paper, and went to visit Duke Rong with Qianru.
Except for the box of ghost paper, the rest of the things were handed over to the concierge as soon as they entered the door.
The servant said that Shangguan Yuan sent some strange gifts.
Rong Guogong and his wife were very surprised after seeing it.
"It is said that Shangguan Yuan was fascinated by the female ghost, it seems that what he said is true!"
Nie Sanniang couldn't help but shudder when she heard what her husband said, and hurriedly ordered someone to go out quietly through the back door to buy something to exorcise evil spirits.
Just as he was giving orders, Shangguan Yuan and Qian Ru had already arrived.
Qianru took the box from Shangguanyuan, and presented it to Duke Rong politely, "I heard that Uncle Shi is ill, so Qianrute came to pay a visit, just a small courtesy, to express my heart, don't refuse."
Nie Sanniang saw that the box was quite big, and was curious about what was in it, so she found an excuse to leave to check.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a box of ghost paper, his face turned pale from fright, and he lost half his life.
The servant reported the matter to Rong Guogong, and Rong Guogong also showed horror, and ordered them to be driven out of the mansion as excitedly as a stimulated rooster.
Even the chicken, fish, pig, and ghost paper they sent were all returned.
So, with these gifts, they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit Xu Rongrong again.
Xu Rongrong didn't know about the frightening of her parents, so she let them in without warning.
"In these days, which high-ranking official gives gifts, but also live pigs, live fish, and live chickens? What a fool!"
Xu Rongrong mocked and cast aside Shangguanyuan and Qianru with a mentality of humiliating them, and received them with smiles.
As before, Qianru presented the box with both hands politely, and flattered Xu Rongrong, "I have long heard that the sisters of Xu Shibo's family are all heroines, but it is a pity that Qianru is not in good health and has never had the opportunity to meet her." A small gift, please be sure to accept it, Madam."
Xu Rongrong was not so polite, she opened the box in front of them, screaming in fright.
"You, you actually touched my head."
"No one has worshiped for many years, and this is all Qianru's property!"
"what"
Xu Rongrong fled in fright.
The servants of the prime minister's mansion did not dare to accept their gifts, and returned them all respectfully.
"Ah! Waste of everything." Qianru sighed, and picked up all the papers scattered on the ground into the box.
Seeing her turning her head back, the servants who were peeping in the corner all staggered and ran away.
After going out, Shangguan Yuan burst into laughter, "Ru'er, this trick of yours is really fun to use."
Qianru coughed a few times, reminding him to be more serious, and he must pretend to be devastated.
Shangguan Yuan rectified his emotions and cooperated with all his strength.
It's just that the pig was very uncooperative, and was unwilling to move a step for a long time, forcing him to call someone to buy some pig food to lure him, so he arrived at Ninghou Mansion in the afternoon.
Ninghou and his wife took several grandchildren out to escape the summer months ago, but they haven't come back yet.
Xu Huihui was blind and couldn't see the gifts they gave, so she was still polite to them.
At first, he thought that there would be no disturbance, but when he was about to leave, Ning Zhiyuan came back.
Coincidentally, the pig they sent had sunstroke and made the ground smelly.
Ning Zhiyuan suddenly became angry and cursed.
Xu Huihui, who was extremely domineering a year ago, now has a plummeting family status, and she wants to hide when she hears her husband roaring.
Qianru concluded that the perpetrator was definitely not Xu Huihui.
Ning Zhiyuan didn't want to deal with them, so he directly returned the gifts they gave.
The heat was unbearable.
The couple had to go home first to escape.
Shangguan Yuan said: "The old man looks guilty, there must be something wrong."
Qianru also felt suspicious, so she took a pen and circled Xu Huaishan's name.
The fish that was used as a gift stinks, and the pigs and chickens have fallen down like plague.
The servants asked Shangguan Yuan how to deal with it.
Qianru rolled her eyes and told Shangguanyuan with her ears: "Send them all to Xiangxiang."
Shangguan Yuan was surprised, "Could it be that you doubt her?"
"No, I want to save some firewood for the house."
Sure enough, two hours later, the Prince's Mansion of Hedong County sent someone to deliver a pig's head, four pig's legs, two stinky fish, and the leftover chicken bones.
Qianru glanced at it and said, "Not bad!"
Then he asked someone to stew the pig's head to make up for Shangguan Yuan's body, jokingly saying that he used his body to make up his body.
Shangguan Yuan was not happy, "Is this what I am in your heart?"
"I know you don't want it, how about we send it to your mother that night?"
Shangguan Yuan's face suddenly pulled down, he will come sooner or later.
So he followed her and took the cooked pig's head to visit his old mother at night.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Liu said that no one who has nothing to do with him is not allowed to enter the mansion, so he easily isolated them from the gate.
Not reconciled, Qianru ordered someone to find a ladder and planned to climb the wall to get in.
