Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

Seeing that he was about to be convicted of rape and murder, in the fear of dying, Qingxi became wise for a rare moment. He argued loudly: "If I was the real murderer, why didn't I stop the imperial doctor from checking the traces on his body!"

The Holy Son of Kadan pointed out ruthlessly: "You must be able to stop me."

Under the circumstances at that time, what qualifications did he, a small follower, have to stop the imperial doctor from examining him?The higher he jumped, the more evidence of his guilty conscience.

Qing Xi's teeth were about to crack, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: "But he died of poisoning! How am I going to poison him? You can't put a finger wrap on my lower body, right?! Then I won't be poisoned too!"

Crowd: ...

Although the language is vulgar, the truth is this.

The most important thing right now is to prove how Qing Changsheng was poisoned.

Doctor Wang said calmly: "In addition to the unique bitter almond smell of Zhuozhirou, there is also a faint aroma of glutinous rice in the deceased's mouth."

The implication is that there is a high probability that the poison enters through the mouth.

Chi Dongchuan asked: "Has he eaten anything glutinous rice today?"

Qingxi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes! He ate the glutinous rice paper cake given to me by the Languo envoy!"

"Envoy from Lan State?" Chi Dongchuan frowned, "Why did he give you food?"

Qingxi burst into tears, holding on to her torn clothes and sobbing: "Yesterday, Changsheng said that the tribute lost by our Qing Kingdom was in the yard of the Lan Kingdom Envoy Corps, so he dragged me and your Excellency to ask for it. "

"But we searched for a long time and found nothing. Your Excellency ordered Changsheng to kneel down and apologize to the envoy of Lan Kingdom..."

"This afternoon I met the Lan State envoy when I was running an errand. The envoy said that Chang Sheng was anxious because he couldn't find the tribute, so he rewarded me with some glutinous rice paper cakes and asked me to take them back to Chang Sheng as an appeasement."

As soon as Qingxi said this, everyone turned their suspicious eyes to the envoy of Lan State.

The envoy from the Qing Kingdom had the same expression as their country's name - livid. He said angrily: "It turns out it's you who has avenged yesterday's revenge and can also blame the Kadan Kingdom. It's a plan to kill two birds with one stone!"

Upon hearing this, the saintly son and saintly daughter of the Kadan Kingdom immediately remembered that they were almost slandered as poisoning by their country. Her face immediately turned dark, and the look she looked at the envoy from the Lan Kingdom became dangerous.

Of course, the Lan State envoy would not sit still and let the label of murderer fall on his head. He frowned and retorted: "I sent the cake, but I did not poison him. I just saw that the Qing State envoy treated his entourage too much." Harsh, what if I give him some food to comfort him?"

The Lan people are generous by nature. Once the misunderstanding is resolved, there will be no overnight feud. We are all vassals of Shun, that is, we are brothers in trouble. What obstacles are there that brothers can't overcome?
All these words were one-sided. Chi Dongchuan knew that only solid evidence could determine the matter clearly, so he asked again: "Are there any remaining glutinous rice paper cakes?"

Qingxi whispered: "I hid some."

"Send it over and let the imperial doctors examine it."

When the guards took out several pieces of glutinous rice paper cakes from under Qing Xi's pillow and presented them to her, Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhang examined them and both said that there were indeed residues of finger-wrap in the glutinous rice paper.

Now things seem to have come to light.

The envoy of Lan State hated Qing Changsheng's offense yesterday and poisoned the cake with the intention of killing him to vent his anger.

Or to put it more conspiratorially, he specifically used the unique poison of the Kadan Kingdom to stir up disputes between several countries and achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

"What explanation do you have now?!" the Qing Kingdom envoy asked angrily.

Not to be outdone, the Lan State envoy also retorted angrily: "This is slander! It's a frame-up!"

The envoy of the Qing Kingdom said solemnly: "There are all the human and material evidences, but you still say it's a blame? If you want to blame, you first blame the Kadan Kingdom, and then Qingxi!"

He saw the calm-looking woman in gorgeous clothes standing next to King Xin, and added: "This nobleman and the entourage of the Liang envoy were almost implicated by you. You are the one who knows how to slander people the most!"

After the envoy from the Qing Kingdom finished his barrage of accusations, he turned around and bowed to Emperor Shun: "Your Majesty, please punish this murderer severely!"

Daojun Yuan Fei said calmly: "Take him to the heavenly prison." The envoy of Lan State shouted repeatedly: "It's not me! I didn't do it! Your Majesty! I didn't do this!"

But his shouting had no effect at all. The guards with swords swarmed up and pulled the entire Lan Kingdom envoys down.

Seeing the murderer brought to justice, the envoy of the Qing Kingdom just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Emperor Shun's cold order issued again.

"The Qing Kingdom followed Qing Xi, despised Shun, and defiled the palace. The envoys of the Qing Kingdom neglected discipline and allowed their slaves to commit adultery. They were all imprisoned and awaited punishment."

The two orders directly declared the envoys of the two countries to be destroyed.

But the matter has come to this, and this seems to be the best solution. Qing Changsheng's body was hastily buried, and the other envoys returned to the Jinluan Hall to kowtow to Emperor Shun in the midst of singing and dancing.

After the Chaolong Banquet, Jiang Fuyuan and Zhong Liefeng boarded the carriage going home.

Under the clear moonlight, the hot air condensed into a white mist, which dissipated in an instant, just like the ghost of Qing Changsheng, who was summoned and then quietly abandoned in the darkness.

Zhong Lianfeng lowered his eyes and said, "It may not be him."

Jiang Fuyuan knew that he was talking about tonight, so she nodded and said, "It's definitely not him."

When it was found that there were residues of Zhuozhirou in the glutinous rice cakes, instead of identifying the Lan State envoy as the murderer, she excluded him.

The reason is very simple. If the envoy of Lan State is the real culprit, he can think of using Liang State's unique poison to clear his relationship. How could he poison the cakes he personally rewarded?

This superfluous and deceptive behavior makes the envoy of Lan State too brainless. He simply tells others that he is the murderer.

Moreover, when he identified the Lan State envoy as the murderer, Jiang Fuyuan clearly saw the expression of confusion and hesitation on Qing Changsheng's face.

He seemed to want to say something at that time, but whether it was due to external forces or internal factors, Qing Changsheng's soul finally chose to remain silent until it returned to darkness.

Jiang Fuyuan asked him: "Do you want to talk to King Duan? Now that all the envoys of Lan State and Qing State are in custody, isn't it necessary to break up with the two countries? The war in Yue Branch has just stopped. King Duan is not afraid of another war. ?”

Zhong Lianfeng shook his head: "Lan Kingdom and Qing Kingdom are our vassals of Shun. Their status is completely different from that of Yue Zhi. They dare not start a war easily."

"His Highness has long wanted to find an opportunity to recruit other forces to help us speak in court. This incident may not be an opportunity."

Chi Dongchuan was a prodigy who came to the court to discuss matters when he was just in the age of dancing elephants. He had all the skills in the world under his control. He had a good grasp of the alternation and control of the various forces in the court's political situation. .

Jiang Fuyuan was not interested in court affairs. She stretched her waist and said, "Okay, you can make your own decision."

The carriage returned to Ke's house, and Uncle Zhao waited at the door with a lamp on.

The two of them were a little surprised when they got out of the car and saw him. Jiang Fuyuan frowned and said, "It's so late, why don't you go and rest, Uncle Zhao?"

It was a cold winter night and Uncle Zhao was already old. She had told him early not to be too tired and to go to bed early at night.

Uncle Zhao knew that Jiang Fuyuan felt sorry for him, so he smiled and said, "It's just one late night, it's okay."

While holding a lantern to illuminate the two of them, he explained: "Madam, an old friend at home comes to see you and says he has something important to ask for."

"Old friend?" Jiang Fuyuan and Zhong Liefeng looked at each other and read doubts in each other's eyes.

The Mu family is in Jingzhou, and after the last time Jiang Fuyuan made trouble, the Mu family saw her as if she were an evil ghost and a Rakshasa, and there was no way they would come to look for her.

The only ones who can be said to be old friends in the family are those in Kejia Village.

Is it Colin?Or the Ke Chen family?
