Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 377 Intensification (1)
"So, the current wife of Bandit Du doesn't like your emperor's wishes?" Queen Miao asked solemnly.

Xiao Ze nodded and said: "That's right. Before King Lu conspired against him, that person's stepmother often went to the palace. As soon as Princess Gongsu's betrayal happened, the emperor's uncle took away the county seat of that stepmother. Master title, now she is only a sixth-rank imperial order, not even eligible to enter the palace. If the emperor didn't look at that person's face, he would have killed that person's stepmother long ago."

Empress Dowager Miao nodded and said, "So that's the case, so it's easy. Ze'er, do you know where your mother-in-law is buried?"

Xiao Ze hurriedly said: "I know, since I got to know Ah Heng, I found the resting place of my mother-in-law and arranged for people to guard the tomb."

Empress Dowager Miao moved her head and said: "It's really hard for you. If my son has you as a husband, my heart will be at ease. Poor Xinxin, why...you were poisoned to death by an adulterer!"

Xiao Ze was startled, and quickly asked: "Why, mother-in-law was poisoned to death, who did it?"

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, and we don't understand how my aunt was poisoned by the peach blossom miasma that is unique to Miaoshan, even though she is in Daliang."

"Ah... I remembered, Grandmother, there is someone who might be the murderer!" A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Ze's mind, and he immediately exclaimed.

"Who?" All the Miao people stared at Xiao Ze and asked in unison.

"This person's surname is Jiang, and he is the confidant of that person's stepmother. I heard from Ah Heng that the poison she used was the poison of Miaojiang, and it is very likely that she killed the mother-in-law!" Xiao Ze said hastily.

"Where is this person now?" Queen Miao asked sharply.

"Grandmother, this person is one of the murderers who killed Nanny Liao, and has been sent by Ah Heng to the prison in Dali Temple." Xiao Ze said immediately.

"Why don't you just kill her and send her to the government!" Feng Yu said with a frown.

Feng Bao glared at his son and said, "Well done, Ruo'er did the right thing. Ze'er, is this man still alive?"

Xiao Ze hurriedly said: "Not yet, Ah Heng said he couldn't take advantage of her in vain, so my son-in-law greeted Dali Temple, Ah Heng didn't say anything, neither tried nor killed, and let the old villain stay Suffering in prison."

Queen Miao nodded and said, "That's good, Ze'er. Is there any way to bring this wicked woman named Jiang forward? We will interrogate her at Yao Xinxin's grave."

Xiao Ze thought for a while, nodded and said: "It can be brought up, but it will take a day or two."

Queen Miao said solemnly: "Nine years have passed, we don't care about one or two days, we can afford to wait. Ze'er, go and do it."

Xiao Ze complied, and just about to go out, he stopped and turned around and asked, "Grandmother, don't you tell Ah Heng about this?"

"This..." Queen Miao hesitated.Of course she didn't want her great-granddaughter to be hurt again, but Du Heng was the real sufferer, and no one had the right to deprive Du Heng of the right to know the truth.

"Grandmother, Ah Heng is very smart. When mother-in-law vomited blood and died, Ah Heng was by her side. Since mother-in-law died of poisoning, even if Ah Heng didn't know it at the time, she won't know it now." Xiao Ze saw Miao. The Queen Mother wanted not to tell Du Heng, so she hurriedly spoke up.

Empress Dowager Miao's heart trembled, she thought to herself why she had forgotten this episode, Du Heng is so talented in studying medicine, how could he not recognize the poison of peach blossom miasma! "Okay, tell her, tell her all the truth." Empress Dowager Miao said this with a heartbroken heart.

After the morning court the next day, Du Dahai, who was about to return home, was stopped by Prince Ning.

"Du's family is going to my prince's mansion, and they happen to be with me." Prince Ning said in a tone that could not be refused.

Du Dahai frowned slightly, but he couldn't help but follow Prince Ning's words, "I'm going to the palace, it's my honor to be with you."

Prince Ning smiled lightly and said: "It's just right, this prince and Du's family will walk side by side."

The two parents rode horses towards Prince Ning's mansion. Du Dahai said in a difficult way: "My lord, the envoys from Miao Jiang want to dig up the tomb of the dead wife of a subordinate official. This is absolutely impossible. The dead wife has been buried in the earth for many years. How can I disturb her family?" Undead. I also ask the prince to act on behalf of the officials, and have a good talk with the envoys of Miao Jiang."

Prince Ning glanced at Du Haihai, and said in a deep voice: "Du's family, everyone in Miaojiang believes that Ze'er's mother-in-law was killed by you. If they are not allowed to open the coffin for an autopsy, they will sue you to the emperor for this crime." In front of you. Did you really do such a thing?"

Du Dahai hurriedly shouted: "My lord, I was wronged. When my wife passed away, I was waiting for the emperor's edict in the official post in the capital. I never returned to the mansion. Everyone in the official post can testify to this matter." The next day, Xiaguan had already received the news of his deceased wife's death before he returned to the mansion. When Xiaguan rushed back to the mansion, his mother had already buried his deceased wife. Xiaguan did not even see her for the last time. Your lord, Xiaguan really It's really wronged!"

Prince Ning shook his head slowly, and said solemnly: "In this case, it's better to let the people from Miaojiang open the coffin for an autopsy, so as to return your innocence."

Du Dahai shook his head stubbornly and said: "No, the coffin must not be opened. Even if they sue the emperor and the emperor cuts off the head of the lower official, the lower official will not agree to open the coffin."

Prince Ning said coldly: "You are so evasive, do you mean that Ze'er's mother-in-law's death really had something to do with it?"

"No, no, there is absolutely no inside story. I just can't let the dead wife have no peace after death." Du Dahai gritted his teeth so tightly that Prince Ning was so angry that he simply stopped saying anything.Anyway, those Miao people have their own plans.

After walking for a while in silence, Du Haihai said in a shy voice, "My lord, if the first concubine's natal family wants to open the coffin at this time, will you allow me?"

Prince Ning said in a deep voice: "Why does this king not allow it? The so-called disturbing the dead is just the saying of the living. If the person is gone, what is the spirit? To clarify the cause of death and bring the real culprit to justice, in my opinion, the dead are willing to see it."

Du Dahai was so blocked that he had nothing to say.In fact, he refused to let everyone in Miaojiang open the coffin, not because he was afraid that Shi Yuexin's undead would be disturbed, but because he knew in his heart that Shi Yuexin's death must be related to the two women who had a close relationship with him, one was his biological mother , one is his wife.Of course, the mother can be protected, and now the Su family has become Du Dahai's favorite again, and Du Dahai is also reluctant to part with it.
