Married three times as a concubine, the prince is playing tricks

Chapter 358 The Dust Falls 25
"Yes, it's a sense of familiarity! It seems that I have seen you somewhere before, but I can't remember it no matter how much I think about it. Until later, when my princess went to the county magistrate's office, I suddenly remembered it. I really met you... By the way, at that time, my concubine had just made an engagement with Prince Rui, and the reason why this concubine went to the county magistrate's office was because of a murder case that happened before..."

"...Murder case?! Could it be the murder case that Ling Bo mentioned, the accidental case where a tenant accidentally died of poisonous weeds in the Drunken Immortal Building in the capital?"

Listening to Shen Lingbo talking about the previous incident, the old man of the Shen family couldn't help but interjected.Hearing this, Shen Lingbo smiled and nodded
"Father is right, that's the case!"

"Uh...but that case was an accident! Why..."

The old man of the Shen family was confused again.Immediately, he couldn't help frowning and glanced at Xu Hengli, and then at Shen Lingbo
"It's an accident, but it's not an ordinary accident!"

"Not an ordinary accident? What do you mean by that?"

"Hehe, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface... However, if you talk about it, my daughter would like to know. In this case, my father, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, knew that the tenant was accidentally poisoned by poisonous weeds. Did you know about this case?" , what is the name of the poisonous weed?"

"The name? Isn't it just an ordinary poisonous weed? Dad remembers that the result reported by the county magistrate's office was mugwort! It's more common in our Tianyu...why? Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem! Father, believe it or not, although my daughter doesn't know what wormwood is, she can be 100% sure that the details reported by Gouzhi County are definitely not this!"

Having said that, Shen Lingbo paused for a moment, then pursed his lips and said:

"By the way, maybe you didn't know, father, that the father of Gouzhi County, the magistrate of the capital, used to be an imperial doctor in the palace. Therefore, Gouzhi County knew a lot about medical science since he was a child! Even after his father died that year , wanted to become a doctor at one time, but then he took the imperial examination by mistake and became an official in the court! But even so, Gouzhi County is very interested in medicine in private, but what he is interested in is not ordinary pathology and medical theory, but All kinds of poisons! Therefore, it can be said that although Gou Zhi County looks ugly on the surface, it is actually a master of poison! And, not only that, Gou Zhi County has been a magistrate in many places in Tianyu for so many years , I have a very detailed understanding of the customs and customs of various places, so after that case happened, Gouzhi County told me a lot of secrets in private..."

"First, the poison that the tenant who died in the Zuixian Building was poisoned was extraordinary, not to mention the common 'wormwood' in Tianyu, but a highly poisonous poisonous weed called 'Ghost Fuluo'! And such poisonous weeds, looking around the world, there is only one place, and that is the swamp at the far end of Luanfeng Kingdom! Because only in the place where miasma is overgrown all the year round, can such poisonous weeds that see blood seal the throat grow! Second, Although the tenant died from the poison of 'Gui Fu Luo', after inspection, Gouzhi County judged that the man was definitely not from Luanfeng Country, but from the north! Moreover, according to my private inquiries with Chen Xianlou As far as the shopkeeper knows, the tenant's purpose in the capital is very suspicious, not to mention the strange whereabouts, on the surface it is said that he is looking for relatives, but in fact, it is not the case at all!"

In fact, here, Shen Lingbo hid one thing, that is, she did not tell the story of finding the palace token from the dead man!After all, it is about the royal family, some things are better to be careful.And this principle, as shrewd as Shen Lingbo, of course knows what can be said and what cannot be said
"Then imagine that a northerner is holding poisonous weeds that are only found in the southern Luanfeng Kingdom, and his whereabouts are strange. No matter how you think about it, you think it's strange! That's why Gouzhi County thought so at the beginning, so I told you in private. Killed me! But although Gouzhi County told me about this matter, he was smart enough not to think about specifically notifying the Ministry of Punishment, because Gouzhi County has a problem, that is, he is afraid of trouble... But even so, it should be said According to Gou Zhixian's temperament, he will not say less, but he will choose what to say and what not to say!"

"Therefore, I can guarantee that Gouzhi County will definitely write the real name of the poisonous weed on it, but it will not write whether the tenant is a southerner or a northerner! Because Gouzhi County knows, even if he really writes 'ghost' Volo' No one will really know what that thing is! But in this way, the problem arises, that is, it was originally written that the poison poisoned by the deceased was 'Ghost Volo', but why did it go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice? This side turned into wormwood? Therefore, needless to say, it is obvious, that is, someone did not want this secret to be known by others. So they changed it secretly! And there is only one person who can do this, That is the person who came down to take over the case after Gou Zhi County notified the Ministry of Criminal Justice—that is, you, Mr. Xu! And it is precisely because of this that I met you in the magistrate's yamen that day!"

There was no sound in the hall.Looking at each other, Shen Lingbo's originally smiling face gradually condensed.However, Xu Hengli, who was originally upright, had a faint gloomy look in his eyes.

But in the blink of an eye, Xu Hengli's eyes flashed fiercely, a little helpless, but he said in a tangled way:

"So, the princess thought that the real cause of death was not mugwort, but some ghost Fuluo? But this... this is too unbelievable! You know, there is no reason, no reason. Why did the official change it?! It’s meaningless at all, isn’t it?! Besides, what does this matter have to do with what the princess said before that the official murdered the red scorpion?! This... this official really doesn’t know the princess what's the meaning?!"

From being upright, he turned into a face of grievance in an instant.It has to be said that Xu Hengli's performance is still unbelievable. He is the villain hiding in the dark, but it seems that Shen Lingbo really wronged him!

But Xu Hengli was wrong, Shen Lingbo is not an ordinary person!The thing that is determined is not something that can be fooled by a few innocent and innocent expressions!So, seeing this situation, Shen Lingbo smiled coldly

"It's okay?! Master Xu, you can say this! But my princess admires you. My princess has said so much, but you still don't admit it... Okay! No problem, then the princess will not let go of the matter." more clearly!"

"At the beginning, the deceased was from the north, but he was holding the ghost Fuluo in his hand, which was only available in the later Luanfeng Kingdom, and his whereabouts were strange. It is conceivable that he came to the capital to do some shady things! And what happened? Do you want to hold Gui Fuluo?! This princess doesn’t know what other people think, but after hearing the news for the first time, the most direct reaction of this princess is that the deceased is a spy! Make some noise in Tianyu, for example, use the ghost fuluo in his hand to secretly poison a certain high-ranking official in Tianyu, and then the emperor will be furious to investigate, and then find out that the poison is ghost fuluo... In this way Naturally, the Luanfeng Kingdom cannot escape the relationship. It will stir up disputes and benefit some countries!"

"It's just that, what is unexpected is that, God bless me, Tianyu, before the tenant did anything, he accidentally died under the poison of Gui Fuluo. But in this way, something went wrong, and that was the tenant's death." Accidental death, if not handled properly, will attract suspicion. So at this time, Master Xu, you are on the stage!"

"Of course, Master Xu's appearance doesn't seem strange to ordinary people, but Master Xu is the fifth-rank chief of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. And when he didn't know the truth about this incident, the tenant died in an accident Then, think about it, everyone, is it necessary for Master Xu to come forward for such a trivial matter?! Wouldn’t it be good to send someone here? But you did it yourself, and it’s still yourself A person came..."

Having said that, Shen Lingbo immediately glanced contemptuously at Xu Hengli in front of him, then turned to look at his old man

"Father, did you arrange for Mr. Xu to go over that case?!"

"Uh...no, when the documents came from the county magistrate's government office, my father originally asked the secretary in charge of the affairs below to go there with the foreman Old Tang. It was also for Old Tang to go over and examine the corpse, first to see if it was consistent with what was reported by the magistrate's office! But later, Director Xu said that he was fine, so..."

Thinking back on the situation at that time, the old man of the Shen family gave a straightforward answer.Hearing this, Shen Lingbo immediately nodded
"Of course, presumably the situation at that time, even if Mr. Xu had a mountain of things in his hands, he would find a hundred reasons to deal with it! Because, he has to deal with the consequences of this accident, otherwise if someone else It would be unimaginable to find out! Because Mr. Xu and that tenant are in the same group..."

Saying that, Shen Lingbo once again met Xu Hengli's eyes that were getting deeper and deeper.

"As for the red scorpion, in fact, Mr. Xu, you didn't intend to kill her! But afterward, the princess went to the prison to look for her, and when you were talking to her, you heard her say that when she bloodbathed the Liu family in Jincheng, there was something wrong with her." The mysterious man secretly instigated, and according to your master Xu's ingenuity, you immediately expected it at the time, this matter is extraordinary! Moreover, whether it was the mysterious man or the red scorpion back then, since they were able to snatch it so aggressively The calligraphy and paintings of the Liu family, then there must be earth-shattering secrets hidden in those calligraphy and paintings. Therefore, when you expected this, you became murderous, because those calligraphy and paintings have been hidden by the red scorpion, and as long as the red scorpion dies, you will be killed. No one knows where those things are! And only when the water is muddy, you and the people behind you have a chance to enter the game, find out what's going on behind you, and then look for opportunities to take advantage of!"

In the following paragraph, Shen Lingbo spoke in a more cryptic manner.After all, she couldn't say that the hidden secrets of the paintings and calligraphy of the Liu family stolen by the Red Scorpion were related to the royal family, and they had a lot to do with it!At this time, the old man of the Shen family who was present was already too frightened to speak.But Xu Hengli suddenly smiled slightly after a brief silence

"Princess Rui's words sound reasonable, but doesn't Princess Rui think that your words are a bit too far-fetched?!"

Xu Hengli spoke unhurriedly, but upon hearing this, Shen Lingbo raised the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was brighter than his

"Hehe, far-fetched?! Alright, since Master Xu said so, I will bring Master Xu to Wan Yanying to ask whether what I said is far-fetched or not!"

If we talk about everything before, Shen Lingbo just called out Xu Hengli as a traitor with ulterior motives, then mentioning Wanyanying now has clearly revealed who is hiding behind his back!

And no one present was a fool, so they immediately understood what Shen Lingbo meant!
For a while, the huge front hall was silent again!The old man of the Shen family was even more shocked, and slowly stood up from his seat...
