I'm a detective for Dongchang

Chapter 87
Lu Xizhi felt displeased, this person had ulterior motives, not to mention that she and Yuan Yanxi were innocent, and deliberately asking such ambiguous questions in front of so many people was to put her in trouble.

She calmed down and replied calmly and indifferently: "Minnv has nothing to do with Director Yuan."

"Oh? I've never seen Jingming send his capable subordinates to personally protect anyone." Qi Yuheng's voice was slightly raised, and his words were ambiguous.

The voice was not too loud, just enough that everyone present could hear it. Sure enough, Yun Fanglan and the grand maid, who were already ten steps away, turned their heads and began to look at them suspiciously.

"My lord, why don't you just ask the supervisor of Yuan Factory directly, women don't dare to make assumptions." Lu Xizhi remained calm and polite.

Heh, what a sharp mouth, Qi Yuheng brushed off his clothes and turned his back: "Cao Siqing, arrange it properly, and don't let General Feng feel cold." After speaking, he beat his folding fan and led his followers to look at it with a sneer. Lu Xi took one look and passed by.

"Yes." Cao Jinyue responded with a bow to King Xuan's back.

Lu Xizhi and Beixue returned home after he left.

Thinking of this, it was already dawn, Lu Xizhi rubbed the center of his brows, and called Chunxiang to change and freshen himself.

When they came to the main courtyard, Lu Zhonglian and Li Wenjun had been waiting for her for a long time. Seeing their daughter was sleepy and weak, the husband and wife looked at each other and hurriedly asked for breakfast to be served.

"Of course, come on, this is the pan-fried bun specially made by Daddy Chen Ma. Eat it while it's hot."

Lu Xizhi took it casually, took a bite, propped his chin with one hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Wenjun couldn't hold back, and asked, "Dali Temple took you back yesterday, did you say anything?"

Returning to the banquet site yesterday, I only had time to see my daughter being taken away by Dali Temple. Li Wenjun was so anxious that he sent someone to call Lu Zhonglian back. After listening to his wife's narration, the two ran to Dali Temple without stopping. , but was told not to enter, had to wait anxiously outside.

Lu Zhonglian was really worried, why did his daughter suddenly become a suspect? !
Cao Jinyue, an old thief, is the best at sneaking in. Last time he satirized the Lu family in Dongchang Prison, he regretted being brought in this time. It's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't give his daughter small shoes to wear.

Just when the husband and wife were at a loss, a woman in black who looked like Wu Gaoqiang suddenly came over and told them not to worry, just go home and wait, she would accompany her daughter home.

Li Wenjun saw that she was calm and sophisticated, and looked familiar, so he tugged on Lu Zhonglian's sleeve, and the husband and wife returned home.

Lu Xizhi returned to the Lu Mansion in good condition, but she was not energetic, and she didn't bother to ask her if she was okay.

After finally surviving the whole night, it is natural to ask clearly at this moment.

Knowing that his parents had been worried all night, Lu Xizhi cheered up, "Father, Mother, I'm really fine, yesterday was just a misunderstanding."

"Then old thief Cao didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"Well, Beixue went in time and helped me out."

"Beixue?" Lu Zhonglian couldn't remember for a while.

After Li Wenjun heard the name, he realized, "It's the girl in black, isn't she?" After Xizhi fell into the water, the girl took a black coat to protect her daughter from the cold.

"Well, she is in charge of punishment in Dongchang. When she learned that I was being taken away, she came here on purpose."

"Hey, that's good, that's good." Lu Zhonglian felt relieved.

"I have to thank you very much."

Lu Xizhi nodded, "Mom, pack me some fried rice and bring it to her to try." She tapped her fingers on the table unconsciously.

"Of course, do you have something on your mind?"

There is something on my mind.

The mandala venom in that snack was not enough to kill, which made Lu Xizhi overturn his previous guess. Who was the murderer's target?If you want to kill someone, why not release enough?Is it just a warning?Warn her or Feng Wuxi...

"Master, madam, there is a girl outside the house who wants to see Miss San." Uncle Chen walked in and preached.

Lu Xizhi jumped up keenly, feeling restless.

Outside the residence, it really was Beixue.

"Beixue, what's the matter?"

"Miss Lu, another dead body was found in Qinghu, and Wang Wuzuo has already rushed over."

Lu Xi was stunned, another one!
"Let's go!" After reacting, he went straight to the direction of Qinghu.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was at midnight last night

Pan Yutong staggered out of her bed, but felt dizzy, stepped on the ground, and half-kneeled on the ground. The eldest girl Zhuzhu heard the movement, and hurried over to help her.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?"

Pan Yutong's voice was weak, and he put Pearl's shoulders, and said intermittently: "I just can't breathe, and my chest is very tight. Please keep your voice down, so as not to wake up mother, do you hear me?"

Seeing that Pan Yutong was very uncomfortable, Pearl slowly helped her to the table and sat down, poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Pan Yutong drank it slowly, feeling a little better, then smiled slightly, and said softly: "Maybe I ate too much at night, and I have some accumulated food. Go to sleep, and I will rest after sitting down for a while."

"Miss, I can't sleep either, let's sit with you for a while." Pearl stood behind Pan Yutong and gently pressed her temples.

"Pearl, do you think brother Yuheng...will be sad?"

Pearl was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that the young lady might be missing the second prince.

The second prince and Miss Feng were just married by the emperor on the Longevity Day, and now, Miss Feng suddenly died suddenly, and the position of Princess Xuan was thus vacated. Miss, she, could it be... .

Pearl was half-joking and teased Pan Yutong for a while, not wanting to make the lady sad, so she explained: "Miss, you and the prince have had a childhood friendship since childhood, so he naturally has feelings for you. , you just need to rest well, raise yourself beautifully, and wait for Prince Xuan to come to marry you on a fine horse."

By the time Pearl settled down Pan Yutong completely, it was almost time for her to be ugly. Looking at the still uncomfortable lady, she felt very distressed. Ever since King Xuan was accused of marrying her, the lady would wash her face with tears every day. She was so sad that she couldn't sleep.

Even the master, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he has always loved the eldest lady. Although he can understand the emperor's good intentions, it is really not a problem for her daughter to continue to be so decadent, so today I specially asked my wife to cook a bowl for her daughter to soothe the nerves. Soup, this gave her a good rest at home for a day.

But Miss is not feeling right now, and she doesn't want Mrs. and Mrs. to worry about it, so this night, Pearl is destined not to survive peacefully, and she has been guarding Pan Yutong's bedside.

When it was almost dawn, I was awakened by a burst of exclamation, and I saw Pan Yutong lying on the bedside, panting heavily, Pearl suddenly panicked, thinking that the young lady was going to vomit, she shouted for someone, and quickly He got up, rushed to the clean room, took a basin and put it on the floor.

After a quarter of an hour, Pearl realized that something was getting serious. Pan Yutong kept panting, his face gradually turned a terrible grayish gray, and his body began to twitch.

When Pan Shichang arrived, Pan Yutong had already fallen into a deep coma, his wife Wu Siyan and youngest daughter Pan Yushan followed behind, and stood there stunned, while the eldest son Pan Jiayue hurried out to find the imperial physician.

When the imperial physician announced the death of the patient Pan Yutong to the Pan family, the whole family was stunned and did not respond at all. Pan Yushan first burst into tears, but Pan Shichang did not move at all. He was repeatedly replaying what his daughter said at the end in his mind. if:

"Father, don't worry, my daughter is fine."

Nannan is his pet name for his eldest daughter. As the first daughter of the Pan family, he really hurts to the core. The baby is in the palm of his hand. Even the younger daughter, Pan Yushan, is sometimes jealous of her older sister, but now the eldest daughter...

Because of the identity of the deceased Pan Yutong, the imperial physician could not give a specific cause of death, so naturally he reported it to Dali Temple, Cao Jinyue was shocked!Yesterday was the General's Mansion, today it is the Shangshu Mansion!This day's big event, I'm afraid everyone's heads will be lost.Hurry up with Lian Shen and Jiang Kun to arrive at the first time, and quickly start the analysis of Pan Yutong's cause of death.

After obtaining the consent of the family members, Jiang Kun carefully cleaned up and inspected the scene. Jiang Kun found that Pan Yutong's body surface examination was almost exactly the same as Feng Wuxi's. There was no physical trauma. Symptoms are all like the disease of weak heart and heart failure, and the heart and lungs are in a state of failure at the time of death.

However, unlike Feng Wuxi, no toxic substances were detected in Pan Yutong's throat, and, according to her servant girl's reaction, Pan Yutong did not eat anything throughout the day except regular meals, and the rest of the family did not. Everything is fine, what's going on?

Jiang Kun quickly recorded a detailed report from Pan Yutong's coma to death, and put it together with Feng Wuxi's, in case someone from the palace would investigate the matter at any time.

Cao Jinyue was leaning on the chair exhaustedly, seeing that he had just solved a big hidden danger, so he was reused by the prince. Why is there so much trouble at this time, a future princess, a young lady of the Shangshu Mansion, died one after the other, it would be a coincidence ?
by the green lake

"Yuanzhi, how is it?" Lu Xizhi ran over panting, without his veil on.

Wearing a mask, Wang Yuanzhi turned his face away. Seeing Lu Xizhi's appearance, he frowned. He didn't rush back to her, pointed to the box, and asked her to take out the things.

Lu Xizhi understood, and turned around for a while, only to find that Wang Yuanzhi asked her to wear a mask to prevent corpse gas and poison.

After seeing her armed, he said unhurriedly:

"The deceased, female, died within two days. The body was well-dressed and made of good materials. No valuables were found. No injuries have been found so far. It needs to be taken back for further examination."

The deceased was wearing a long lavender dress, and the material of the clothes was really expensive, which was a clue.Lu Xizhi looked at the woman's face again. Although the face soaked in the lake water was already a little swollen, it felt like she had seen it somewhere before.

Lavender Dress…

"Beixue, take a look." Lu Xizhi greeted Beixue. "Why do I think she looks familiar?"

Bei Xue took a step forward, carefully identified it, and blurted out after a while: "It looks like the daughter of Zhong Shilang's family."

Yes!If it's a lady from an aristocratic family, it's no wonder that Lu Xizhi has some impressions.

At the Wanshou Festival palace banquet, this woman sat behind her, next to Yao Yimeng at the table, and at the Qinghu Flower Banquet, she was also the one who followed Yao Yimeng and laughed at her poems with disdain.

"Go to Zhong's house right away, don't disturb anyone, just check if anyone is missing." Lu Xizhi arranged this way, and after thinking about it, "Please ask someone to transport the body directly to Dongchang, and go with us as far away as possible." .”

Two cases of dead bodies and one case of the death of a princess, Lu Xizhi inexplicably felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between them.

One day passed, and the news that a female corpse was found by the Qinghu Lake spread like wildfire. Not only the people involved in the case felt that something was wrong, but even the common people were all in danger, and all kinds of speculations were thrown into battle for a while.

It is said that Feng Wuxi was harmed by a dead body that turned into a fierce ghost, which possessed a living person, and this person must be one of the people who participated in the flower feast that day.

The matter of Feng Wuxi is indeed strange and strange enough. It is normal for others to make up stories about it. You can stop one person from talking about it, ten people from talking about it, but you can't stop a hundred people from talking about it.If someone really wants to pursue this matter, it will be easy to deal with, right and wrong, and a thorough investigation can stop other people's mouths.

However, Feng Wuxi's parents had absolutely no intention of continuing to investigate the cause of her daughter's death. They were unwilling, and of course no one else was qualified to take care of her.As a result, this matter will become a pretentious legend and an unsolved case.

On this day, Lu Xizhi was coming out of the East Factory, ready to go to Weixianglou to make a bowl of wontons. While waiting for packing, he heard such a conversation at the next table.

"Hey, tell me, is it possible what those young scholars said, poisoning or something, how could Miss Feng die so suddenly?" Passerby A said.

Passer-by B said, "Probably not. If it was poisoning, the inspectors of the Dali Temple and the imperial physicians in the palace could find it out. They all said that the amount of venom was not enough to kill people. I think this is purely due to the fact that those scholars are fine." Do it, spread rumors."

Lu Xizhi silently nodded beside him.

Passer-by C joined in: "Have you heard that once Miss Feng dies, the most likely person to become Concubine Xuan is Miss Pan from Shangshufu's family. Do you think...is it possible..."

Passerby A hurriedly covered his mouth: "Be careful what you say, Dongchang is watching the official affairs, be careful not to be heard by spies, and your life will be lost!"

Lu Xiyi was taken aback, why are these words so familiar...

She really wanted to go up and show a sign to them, and then said viciously: Hehe, I am the spy you said, and I am here to kill you.

Thinking about it, I was amused by myself.

But what they said, she remembered it in her heart.

Pan Yutong?
Returning to Dongchang with wontons, he couldn't wait to find Beixue and inquire about Pan Yutong's situation.

Bei Xue said: "Pan Yutong is the eldest daughter of Pan Shichang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. She has been excellent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child. There are indeed rumors that Xuan Wang Qi Yuheng has some... affair with her, but no one has confirmed it."

"Beixue, find a way to explore the Shangshu Mansion, and don't let go of any clues."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, it was Nanyang.

He entered the room and said, "The eldest daughter of Pan Shichang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has died."
