Chapter 51
After the imperial physician and Wu Zuo looked at it, they concluded that Lin Chengqing's blood had turned black, which looked like poisoning.

But it is well known that Lin Chengqing was exorcising evil spirits recently, so the imperial physician asked, "But what kind of medicine did the Taoist priests who came to the mansion recently give the young master?"

Lin Jiang went to ask the kitchen, and the kitchen said that the medicine had never been boiled, and no one in the mansion had used it in recent days.

After Wu Zuo read it, the answer he gave was: "There are two possibilities for the preliminary judgment. One is poisoning. As for the poison, the whole house needs to be searched. People who have had contact with editor Lin. If it is a chronic poison, it may be that they have been stimulated by something recently, leading to a sudden onset of toxicity."

Lin Jiang replied: "The only person Qing'er has been in contact with in the past two days is Jing Shizi, and now he has sent someone to ask Jing Shizi to cooperate with the investigation."

Wu Zuo sighed: "There is another possibility..."

Lin Jiang hurriedly said, "Please tell me!"

"That is really related to these rituals. I dare not speak out to judge whether there is really evil, but this aspect needs to be considered by adults."

When Lin Jiang heard this, his brows furrowed.

He didn't believe in any evil spirits from the beginning, but he couldn't stand the rumor that Lin Chengqing was infected with evil spirits in Beijing. Lin Chengqing was a good-looking man, and he was not yet married. If these rumors were allowed to intensify, what would happen to his reputation in the future?So Lin Xiang had no choice but to invite the Taoist priest to enter the mansion. When Lin Chengqing recovered from his illness, he directly said that the Taoist priest cured him. In this way, the rumors outside could also be put to rest.

But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods. After staying in the court for so long, how could he not know whose nephew was in his way and was murdered.

But, who is this person?

Therefore, Lin Jiang sent Wu Zuo away, and asked Wu Zuo to go back and report-he didn't believe the ghosts and gods, and he must find out the real culprit who killed Lin Chengqing!
At the same time, inside Ci'an Palace.

The news reached Empress Dowager Jiang immediately, so it was impossible for Xu Ruyi not to hear the news.

Xu Ruyi hurried to Empress Dowager Jiang, and said with a look of astonishment: "Editor Lin died? What happened? Why so suddenly? Yesterday Lou Yang said that he seemed to have seen him enter the palace..."

Empress Dowager Jiang supported her forehead with a sad expression on her face.

"When he went to court yesterday, his condition was not good. Now that he is gone, Lin Xiangzhun wants to ask for an explanation. Just now, the assistant also sent him to tell him that it may be poisoned or evil. But he If you don’t listen, it looks like you are going to suspect all the relevant people! If so, then Aijia will also be suspected by him, after all, several priests were recommended by Aijia!”

Xu Ruyi listened to Queen Mother Jiang's words, and hurriedly asked Aunt Chang to make some soothing decoction for Queen Mother Jiang.

Aunt Chang then went to decoct the medicine. At this time, Xu Ruyi also said with a frown: "Grandmother, although the granddaughter is also sorry for the sudden disappearance of Lin Bianxiu, but if the real culprit is really tracked down, the third son-in-law will not be wronged." Right? Although he had some conflicts with editor Lin before, how could he poison him! Although he has been angry these days, he doesn't even have the guts to argue with the Shangxiangfu, and his granddaughter is really afraid that he will be wronged."

Empress Dowager Jiang said: "The Ai family knew that when the Ai family saw him for the first time, they knew that he was only a little clever, not like someone with a city mansion. He probably couldn't do such a thing as murder. This matter It is better to let the Ministry of Criminal Justice investigate the matter, Dali Temple also needs to avoid suspicion now."

Xu Ruyi nodded.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang was holding the Buddhist beads in her hands, she sighed and said, "It's really hard to say about editor Lin. The Ai family always thinks that his symptoms were brought back from Xiangzhou, and he hasn't recovered since he came back. Evil."

That night, Empress Dowager Jiang stayed up all night, and Xu Ruyi also didn't fall asleep, but Xu Mingxiao was still young and slept peacefully without knowing what happened.

When he went to the court the next day, Lin Jiang really wept in the court hall, and said solemnly: "My nephew is the editor of Sanyuan Jidi. Loyalty. Now that I died in vain, I can be said to be in great pain and heartbroken. Qing'er's biological mother is crying all day long, and Weichen's younger brother has turned white all night. What is the law of heaven? What is the law of the king?"

Xu Yinghong looked at Lin Jiang, who was fiercely accusing, in front of him, and knew in his heart that there must be an explanation for this matter.

Xu Yinghong replied: "I will thoroughly investigate this matter. Did you come to a conclusion about the cause of Lin's death?"

Lin Jiang didn't recognize the evil theory at all, and said firmly: "It is very likely that Wu Zuo's theory is poisoned."

"What poison did you get?"

"This has not yet been verified. But Wei Chen believes that anyone who has been in contact with Qing'er these days should be investigated."

"Then who does Prime Minister Lin think should investigate them? The Ministry of Punishment? The Metropolitan Procuratorate? Or the Dali Temple?"

Xu Yinghong let himself choose one.

Lin Jiang heard this, and said bluntly: "Dali Temple investigated this case before, but the case was not closed, but the person died. How dare I hand over this case to them? I think that this case will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is appropriate."

Xu Yinghong turned his head to look at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and asked bluntly, "Department of Criminal Justice, what do you think?"

Li Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, said respectfully: "I am willing to take on this important task and thoroughly investigate the truth. If there is any grievance, I will do my best to return Lin Lin to justice!"

Lin Jiang turned his head and scolded: "What do you mean if there is a grievance? Could it be that Qing'er died at home for no reason?"

Li Yuan said respectfully: "My minister is just following the rules, and please ask Lin Xiangjie to be obedient."

Lin Jiang is really angry that this person who upholds justice for himself wants to talk about the wheels.

Could it be that he concluded that Lin Chengqing died suddenly if he couldn't find out the truth?

At the same time, in the princess mansion.

The sledgehammer came back to inquire again. Jing Yu originally asked him to go out to inquire about Xu Ruyi's situation, but when the sledgehammer came back, he said helplessly: "Second Master, I really can't find out the princess's movements. Now the prime minister's mansion has been completely blocked. Access to the palace is also restricted, and the criminal department is investigating the case!"

Jing Yu felt very tired. He knew the depth of the court water, but he didn't expect it to be this deep.

Jing Yu's first reaction was to ask: "Then is there anyone who suspects me? I was wronged. I have been at the mansion for the past few days and have never had any contact with Lin Chengqing!"

The sledgehammer replied: "Master, you have to be steady now! Since it has nothing to do with you, then you should be generous, because our current chance to escape has been delayed..."

"Escape? Are you afraid that they won't suspect us?"

Of course Jing Yu knew about this crucial point, and he was most taboo about running away.
