Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 313 Thorough investigation of the cause of death
With a loud knock on the door, Fang Yiai and Gao Yang woke up leisurely. After looking at each other, Fang Yiai, whose injury was stabilizing, slowly got out of bed and opened the door slightly.

As soon as the door was opened, Qin Qiong, who looked sad, rushed in. After closing the door with his backhand, he stood in front of the tea table, paced back and forth, and looked angrily at Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai rubbed her sleepy eyes, and seeing Qin Qiong's sullen face, she asked in puzzlement, "Marshal, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Qiong strode forward. In a rage, he wanted to push Fang Yiai, but when he heard that the aunt-to-be was injured, he gave up angrily, and said with a flick of his sleeves, "What's wrong with me? You are in great trouble!"

"A catastrophe is imminent?" Fang Yi'ai was confused by the words, poured Qin Qiong a cup of tea with doubts, and asked puzzledly: "At present, Chang Sun Chong is seriously injured and comatose, and Xiao Rui is unconscious. What else do I have to worry about?" disaster?"

Seeing Fang Yiai mentioning Xiao Rui, Qin Qiong's eyes widened, fearing that outsiders would hear the secret, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Long live to interrogate Xiao Rui in the Zichen Palace this morning, but what was brought here was a dead body! "

Qin Qiong continued to add: "Listen to the prison chief, before Xiao Rui's sudden death last night, two courtiers from the palace visited him. Are those two people you and Xie Zhongju?"

Hearing the news of Xiao Rui's death, the sleepy-eyed Fang Yi'ai woke up instantly, and the three souls and seven souls who had just returned flew away again, "Xiao Rui... is he dead?"

"Can it be fake? In Zichen Palace, I took a special look at Xiao Rui's dead body. The body was bleeding from seven holes and his lips were black. It looked like he had been poisoned to death!" Qin Qiong said anxiously, with dry mouth and tongue. After Xiao Rui's death, he drank the tea in one gulp, not caring whether his mouth was hot or not.

"Bleeding from the seven holes? Black lips? Could it be that he has some hidden disease?" Muttering, Fang Yiai remembered Qihuang's medical theory from the Hunyuan Heart Sutra, and then murmured: "No, even if there is a hidden disease The lips are not black, could it be some kind of poison?"

Seeing Fang Yiai muttering to herself, Qin Qiong snorted coldly, "Aren't you?"

In the middle of speaking, Qin Qiong glanced at the door and window warily, and after confirming that it was tightly closed, he stretched out his hand and made a cutting gesture on the neck.

Seeing that Qin Qiong misunderstood that he had killed Xiao Rui, Fang Yiai quickly waved his hands and said, "No, I just sealed Xiao Rui's big hole yesterday to make him insane. I think he is Xiao Yu's eldest son and a nobleman from Xiliang. His eldest son and grandson, even if I have the guts, I would not dare to kill him!"

Seeing Fang Yiai's normal expression and firm eyes, Qin Qiong believed his words, sat down at the tea table and muttered: "What's the use of me trusting you? Will Long live believe you? Will Xiao Yu believe you?" ? Will the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world believe it?"

"Marshal, that's why you're worrying too much. Brother Xie and I disguised ourselves to visit the prison at night like last night, who would find us?" Fang Yiai smiled slightly, the sly look in her eyes was fleeting, and she thought, "Death!" It’s okay, once it’s done, it’s nothing.”

Halfway through her thoughts, Fang Yiai took a sharp breath and murmured, "It's broken! Xiao Rui's death is unknown right now. As the eldest son of the Xiao family and the royal consort, how could Long Live stop here? If Strictly order a thorough investigation to follow through, and there will be no guarantee that there will be no mistakes. Even though Xiao Rui's death has nothing to do with me, Xiao Yu will inevitably blame this matter on me."

Qin Qiong saw that Fang Yiai's face was solemn and dull, she couldn't help but snorted softly, and said with a bitter face: "Long live has ordered grandson Wuji and Ma Zhou to thoroughly investigate Xiao Rui's sudden death, thinking about what you did even if you visited the prison at night last night. Strict, but people have seen his face, if Changsun Wuji and Ma Zhou follow the clues, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die."

After finishing speaking, Qin Qiong sighed, "Why do you think it's such a coincidence? Xiao Rui didn't die sooner or later, why did he die just after you went to visit him? Right now Xiao Yu is crying like something in the Zichen Palace. Song Kou asked Wu Zuo to examine the cause of Xiao Rui's death, it seems that he does not intend to stop!"

As soon as these words came out, Fang Yiai was so shocked that his hair stood on end, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Influenced by feudal ethics in ancient times, people believed in the concept of "body, hair, skin and skin are the parents''. Now Xiao Yu asked someone to open up the dead bodies of his parents and children, so as to thoroughly investigate the cause of Xiao Rui's death. What does this mean?In the eyes of the ancients who believed that "a complete body is the most important thing", a broken body is the most taboo thing. This shows Xiao Yu's determination to thoroughly investigate the cause of Xiao Rui's death.

Looking blankly at the bluestone slab under her feet, Fang Yiai murmured in a daze, "The sage ordered Changsun Wuji and Ma Zhou to investigate this matter thoroughly? Changsun Wuji's official residence is Shangshu's right servant, that is the prime minister of the dynasty! Ma Zhou's official residence Supervising the censor. The person in charge is the one who supervises the officials and corrects the prison officials!"

"That's right! One is the uncle of the current dynasty and the prime minister, and the other is a capable official who is deeply trusted by Long Live. Boy! If this yellow mud falls in the crotch, you won't be able to wash it off!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Qiong saw the figure flickering in the green radish curtain, and felt that he was Gao Yang again, and he couldn't stay for a long time due to the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers. After exhorting Fang Yiai a few times, he rushed to the procuratorate to inquire about the news.

After Qin Qiong left, Fang Yiai knocked the door upside down, and stood behind the door with blank eyes, still unable to understand how Xiao Rui died.

"He was quite tough last night, why did he suddenly die suddenly? I sealed his meridians with my true energy, even if he died, he wouldn't look like this, bleeding from seven holes, black lips, This is obviously poisoned!"

While Fang Yiai whispered to herself, Gao Yang, who heard the conversation between her husband and Qin Qiong the whole time, walked off the bed with a sad face, and wrapped her jade arms around Fang Yiai's waist softly.

"Brother Jun'er, Shu'er. Shu'er" muttered a few times, Gao Yang was worried about adding pressure to Fang Yi'ai, so that the word "I'm so scared" that was already on his lips was delayed.

After Fang Yiai noticed his wife's hesitation in her words, she turned around, held the beautiful woman's jade hands, suppressed her anxiety, and said with a smile: "Is Shu'er afraid that they will follow the clues to find Brother Jun'er? What are you afraid of? Qing Those who don’t do it mean they didn’t do it, and I’m afraid that they will label me as a failure?”

Having said that, Fang Yi's hesitation in love was several times stronger than Gao Yang's. It was Changsun Wuji and Ma Zhou who were ordered to thoroughly investigate the case!
There is no doubt about their abilities. Although Fang Yiai and Ma Zhou share the same ambitions, even if it is found that Xiao Rui's death was related to him, there is a high probability that Ma Zhou will turn a blind eye.But the chief judge of this case is Changsun Wuji!Uncle Guo, who regards Fang Jun as a thorn in his side, if he finds out about his pseudonym in the future, he might not give up if he doesn’t take the opportunity to brag about Fang Yi’ai to death. Qianqian is still lying on the bed unconscious. Before he knew it, Fang Yiai had already formed a death feud with the eldest grandson's family!

Just when Fang Yiai was comforting his wife with Wenyan words, the procuratorate was already in full swing. All the forbidden soldiers and jailers who were on duty in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last night were all summoned to the scene. After sitting in the case, the two people who were ordered by the king to thoroughly investigate the matter had already made up their minds to find out the cause of Xiao Yu's death.

With the sound of a deafening gavel, the eldest Sun Wuji, who is the presiding judge of this case, opened his eyes slightly, looked at a group of imperial guards and jailers kneeling below the hall, and said coldly: "Last night, you were in the prison of the Ministry of punishment. value?"

"It's the humble people."

"I have something to ask, you have to tell the truth!" After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji turned his head and winked at the clerk at the side, signaling him to take a pen to record the confessions of the imperial guards and jailers later. .

"Did someone visit Xiao Rui in the prison last night?"

After a little muttering, all the imperial guards said yes in unison, and then shook out the two courtiers who were holding the badges last night.

"who are they?"

"It's the courtier in the palace."

"Hiss, the courtier in the palace? This."

Knowing that someone in the palace had visited Xiao Rui, Changsun Wuji and Ma Zhou looked at each other with embarrassed and puzzled expressions on their faces.

Just as Changsun Wuji was weighing the pros and cons, Ma Zhou, the censor, said, "Who has seen the appearance of those two courtiers last night? Come with me to the back hall to draw their faces!"

As soon as this remark came out, two imperial guards quickly stood up and followed Ma Zhou to the back hall to dictate the appearance of the "inner courtier".

Although the two of them didn't see Fang Yi'ai's face clearly, they saw Xie Zhongju who was walking in front holding a waist card, so they described Xie Zhongju's face one by one, and Ma Zhou With their own pens, the three of them cooperated to draw the pictures of the two courtiers who visited Xiao Rui at night last night!
