The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing immediately said: "Please tell Governor Zhang in detail."

Governor Zhang nodded and said: "The first person to go in was the guy who was responsible for delivering hot water to Princess Ling for washing. He brought three buckets of hot water back and forth. When we asked him, he said, When he went in, Princess Ling was in the inner room. He didn't see Princess Ling, but he saw Princess Ling's two maids. They were still fine at that time and ordered him to pour water into the bathtub."

Xu Jing thought for a while and asked, "After Princess Ling finished washing, her two maids didn't have anyone come in to clean up?"

Governor Zhang shook his head and said: "Mrs. Xu doesn't know something. The VIP room in the Man Yue Building is relatively large, with an outer room and an inner room. The bathtub is originally placed in the outer room. Even if it is not cleaned up, it will not affect Princess Ling's rest. .

There was Gong Tong in the room. It could be said that there was no need for Princess Ling and the others to come out. That night, after Princess Ling and her two maids went to see Princess Ling, they did not leave the room again.

The second person to go in was a young man named Shuang Rui who was next to King Ling. He was ordered by King Ling to check on each master before going to bed. It is said that something happened to the two maids next to King Ling. , King Ling would ask someone to check on Princess Ling and the others every night. He said that when he went in, Princess Ling and the two maids were fine. Princess Ling also asked Shuangrui to take good care of King Ling. "

King Ling had poor bones since he was a child and was often sick. Xu Jing learned from Jin Wuwei that he had been infected with wind and cold during this period of time when he was on the road. Fortunately, it was not particularly serious.

This was one of the reasons why King Xing believed that the Jiang family would abandon King Ling and support him.

Also because of Prince Ling's poor health, his backyard has never been very full. Apart from one princess, there is only one concubine. Now that he went to Beijing, Princess Ling and the concubine also came with him. It is said that the concubine has already I am eight months pregnant.

Governor Zhang continued: "Not long after Shuang Rui left, Dongyang, the maid next to Princess Ling, came and said that when Princess Ling went to visit Princess Ling, she left a handkerchief at her place. She gave it to Princess Ling. The order came to return it to Princess Ling.

She also said that when she went, Princess Ling and the two maids were fine. She came specially to deliver the veil. Princess Ling even stayed with her to drink a cup of tea and said a few words before leaving.

This is consistent with what the guard at Princess Ling's door said. The guard at Princess Ling's door said that Dongyang entered in about a cup of tea.

After that, Prince Ling’s concubine Fang came. Every night before going to bed, she would go to greet Princess Ling and Princess Ling. She first went to greet Princess Ling and then went to Princess Ling’s room. According to her, Princess Ling and the others were fine when she went there, and Princess Ling seemed to be in a better mood that day. Instead of letting her leave as soon as she said goodbye, she said a few words and asked her. Her physical condition. "

Xu Jing was stunned and looked at Governor Zhang with some confusion.

Governor Zhang immediately lowered his voice and said: "Well... although these things are not what I should say, in order to investigate the case, I can only be disrespectful to Princess Ling. Princess Ling is the daughter of the Zhou family. She has had a strong temper since she was a child. She has been married to King Ling for three years, but she has never given birth to a son and a half. About a year ago, King Ling accepted Fang as his concubine. Princess Ling seemed... very dissatisfied with this, but Fang was Prince Ling's wife. Even if Princess Ling was dissatisfied with the local prominent family in Qizhou, she could not stop Concubine Fang from marrying in.

But after Concubine Fang married in, Princess Ling... never had a good look towards her. Not to mention that Concubine Fang became pregnant not long after she came in, and Princess Ling was even more dissatisfied.

It is said that when they went to Beijing this time, General Han asked them to travel as lightly as possible and not to bring too many servants. But even so, as a pregnant woman, Concubine Fang should bring more servants, but Princess Ling only allowed her to bring more servants. A maid and a stable woman said that Prince Ling was weak and the extra places should be given to Prince Ling.

So in the end, King Ling brought two maids and two servants, Princess Ling brought two maids, Princess Ling brought two maids and a nun, but Concubine Fang, who was pregnant, only had one maid. The maid, and a stable woman who came over temporarily just in case. Along the way, Concubine Fang would go to greet Princess Ling almost every night, but she would often be kicked out by Princess Ling after greeting her. Sometimes Princess Ling's tone was even very bad. In this regard, the guard in front of Princess Ling's door All can testify. "

Xu Jing frowned slightly and said, "Then why did Princess Ling's mood suddenly improve that day?"

Governor Zhang shook his head and sighed secretly: "I asked everyone around Princess Ling about this, and no one knew, but Princess Ling and the people around her said that when Princess Ling went to pay her respects to Princess Ling, she looked at My spirits are indeed better than the past few days.

They guessed that Princess Ling's natal family was in the capital. Although the reason for their trip to Beijing this time was... a bit sensitive, Princess Ling could see her family for the first time in a long time. Now that she was almost in the capital, she was in a better mood. Bar. "

Xu Jing nodded and said, "What about the last person who came to see Princess Ling?"

"The last person who came to see Princess Ling was Grandma Lu who was beside Princess Ling. Aunt Lu was an old man who was beside Princess Ling. It is said that she had been with Princess Ling for more than 20 years. She is still unmarried and said she would serve Ling all her life. Princess.

On the same day, Princess Ling bought some tea in Xinzhou that could calm her nerves, and asked Aunt Lu to send some brewed tea to Prince Ling and Princess Ling. She said that Princess Ling had been traveling for days and so many things happened along the way. Some of them couldn't sleep well, so they bought these tea leaves to improve their sleep, and asked Grandma Lu to send them to others.

I didn't give it to Fang Concubine because she was pregnant and didn't dare to let her eat randomly. "

Xu Jing pursed her lips slightly and said in a deep voice: "Others didn't find out that Princess Ling and the others were killed until the morning, so this Aunt Lu also said that they were fine when she went there."

However, Governor Zhang unexpectedly shook his head and said: "Mama Lu said that she did not see Princess Ling when she went there. Princess Ling seemed to have fallen asleep. She was greeted by a maid named Qiu Wen who was beside Princess Ling. her.

Qiu Wen asked her to put the tea on the table outside and let her leave.

The next day, when we entered Princess Ling's room, we did see a cup of cold tea on the table outside. "

After hearing this, Xu Jing frowned tightly.

All five people went in, but all five people said that when they went there, the three masters and servants of Princess Ling were still fine. At least one of the three people was still alive.

No one went in after that, but all three people died.

Unless the murderer who killed them had the ability to sneak into Princess Ling's room unnoticed under heavy guards, kill them and then leave, otherwise, one of those five people was lying!
