Chapter 571 Don't want to have extra branches
Since he couldn't sleep anyway, Xiao Rongyuan simply decided to take a trip to the prison.

Knowing that the master was not asleep, Yan Xia stood under the corridor after reporting.

A moment later, there was a sound behind him.

He turned around immediately, and saw that the master was fully dressed and came out from inside.

"master?"

"Go to the prison." After Xiao Rongyuan finished speaking lightly, he took the lead in walking ahead.

Yan Xia immediately followed.

Heaven Prison.

Li Chengqian, who was supposed to be beheaded at noon tomorrow, died suddenly tonight, and the jailer didn't dare to deal with it without authorization. After all, Li Chengqian was the criminal who was personally ordered by the emperor to be beheaded. Reported up.

Before the emperor's decree was issued, no one dared to touch the corpse, so when Xiao Rongyuan and Yan Xia arrived, Li Chengqian's corpse remained as it was.

Li Chengqian died in a miserable state, with distorted and stiff facial expressions. It can be imagined that when he died, he was very painful.

Yan Xia stepped forward to check, and saw that the body's complexion was jet-black, and even the lips were also jet-black. One look at it, and one could tell that the dead body was fed with a highly poisonous poison before death.

"He died from poisoning." After checking, Yan Xia returned to Xiao Rongyuan's side and reported.

"En." Xiao Rongyuan had already seen it.

Yan Xia frowned and said: "When a prisoner is locked in a cell, the jailer will search the prisoner's body. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Chengqian to bring poison into the cell."

"He didn't commit suicide, he was poisoned and killed." Xiao Rongyuan said lightly.

Yan Xia nodded, and then said: "But Li Chengqian will be executed at noon tomorrow, who wants him to die so much, can't wait all night, but wants to poison him?"

"Naturally, I don't want to cause extra problems." Xiao Rongyuan's eyes dimmed.

Yan Xia immediately understood, "The person who poisoned was clearly murdered to silence him!" Thinking of something, his expression changed slightly, "What is Li Chengqian holding on to the person who poisoned him?"

Xiao Rongyuan's eyes were cold, "Maybe we can find the answer from his family."

"Yes, my subordinates will investigate." Yan Xia understood, and immediately responded respectfully.

Xiao Rongyuan stood for a moment, then turned around and left the cell.

Li Chengqian was poisoned and killed, there is no doubt about it, as for the people behind the scenes...

"Is it related to King Mu?" Yan Xia seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly lowered her voice and said.

Xiao Rongyuan didn't say anything, it was a tacit consent to what he said.

Yan Xia's heart shuddered, he should have thought of it earlier.

Li Chengqian was the commander who was appointed to guard the capital when the late emperor was in power, but he secretly took refuge in Mu Wang and colluded with Mu Wang. Poisoned.

Thinking of this, Yan Xia's spirit lifted. If he could find strong evidence of Mu Wang's collusion with the courtiers, it would be much easier for the master to deal with Mu Wang.

After leaving the prison, Xiao Rongyuan paused, and then continued walking.

Seeing this, Yan Xia asked: "Master, are you going back to the palace?"

Xiao Rongyuan hesitated for a while, and asked: "Jucaifang, is it closed at this time?"

Yan Xia was stunned, but she came to her senses and immediately said: "It's past midnight now, it's probably closed."

Xiao Rongyuan didn't ask any more questions.

Yan Xia looked at the man walking ahead, not knowing what to say.

He had already learned from Zhao Zhong that the master and Concubine Se had quarreled again...

The master just asked about Jucaifang, did he want to find General Ye?
