Chapter 302 A Suicide Note

Just after leaving Luming Square, the carriage stopped suddenly!

Wang'er, who went to Daqian Station, drove back to meet them: "Girl! The prince has already entered the palace, and Master Su is not here!

"There is also news from Mrs. Ji that before the lady committed suicide, she left a suicide note beside her, and that woman took the suicide note to Shuntian Mansion to sue!"

suicide note? !
Shen Xi suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan held her breath suddenly, and blurted out: "What about the people from the government?!"

"We're almost at Liu'er Hutong!"

The two sisters looked at each other, their expressions calmed down.

Ji's sudden death was obviously abnormal!
And she left a suicide note behind her, so what was written in the suicide note?Why did the mother-in-law next to her take it to the government to sue?

Right now, it is not known whether Shuntian Mansion and Wen Yuanzheng have any collusion, if there is any collusion, then they can't control the situation at all.

The only thing that can keep the matter unchanged and passive is to let Xiao Huai come over, but the time of the incident happened at this time. How could the news be so easy to spread in the early court?
Shen Xi looked at the sky, clenched his fists and said, "We still have to find a way to inform the prince! Qi Jiu, you go, it's a big deal to give more money to the palace man!"

Regardless of whether this incident was an accident or someone planned it, Xiao Huai must know, otherwise he would be too passive!

Furthermore, the timing of Ji's death is so weird, just when the Shen family's father and son and Xiao Huai have all entered the palace, can people believe that it was purely accidental?

Qi Jiu left quickly, and the carriage drove forward at a faster speed.

When we arrived at Liu'er Hutong, sure enough, the entire yard was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the neighbors around us were also awakened, and they gathered around the door to point and point.

There were noisy voices in the courtyard, and at the same time, a thick male voice came out.

When they were about to enter, the officers and soldiers scolded him: "Who is it!"

"I am his son!"

The red-eyed Shen Qu wanted to rush in.

Shen Xi hurriedly stepped forward: "We are members of the Shen family, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. These two are the children of Mrs. Ji, please let them go!"

The officers and soldiers were also sensible, and immediately waved their hands to let them in.

When he entered the yard, he saw that a secondary door panel had been placed on the open space, and Ji was lying on it with half-opened eyes, and he didn't even have time to cover it with a white cloth.

"Mother!"

Shen Qu rushed over.

Shen Yan stood beside Shen Xi without moving, but her eyes were already red, and her hands clutching the silk were trembling under the cloak.

After Ji's series of bad luck, most of the original resentment has disappeared.

At that time, she hadn't been ruthless to kill her. Now she is calm, but the news of Ji's death suddenly came, so she can no longer be indifferent.

Shen Xi signaled the maids to come forward to support her, walked to the side of the corpse, took out Ye Mingzhu, and took a closer look at her neck.

Sure enough, there were strangle marks on her neck, and her eyes were half-opened, and her mouth was half-open, which was indeed consistent with being hanged.Looking at the hands and feet, there are no injuries.

"What about the suicide note?"

She stood up.

As soon as the words were spoken, a few people in official uniforms came out of the room, the leader was in their forties, with sharp eyes, and they were wearing official third-rank official uniforms.

The rank of Shuntian Mansion is very high, the governor is the third rank, the official in front of him can be seen as the governor Yang Qian.

But usually this kind of homicide case would not disturb his lord, even if Mrs. Ji was the third wife of the Shen family, he has no reason to personally intervene now that she has passed away.

She frowned.

And Yang Qian walked straight towards her when he got up, and stayed three steps away and said: "Dare to ask, is the young lady also a young lady of Shen's residence?"

Shen Xi nodded: "I am Shen Xi, the second daughter of the Shen family. These two are the eldest son and eldest daughter of Mrs. Ji. I should ask my lord, what is suspicious about Mrs. Ji's death?"

When Yang Qian heard that she was Shen Xi, he couldn't help but look closely, and when he met the people on the school field that day, he took a few pieces of paper from the head catcher behind him, handed them to her and said: " Now that the girl is here, let's take a look at this first.

"This is Ji's suicide note left on her body when she died. Her servant sent it to the government after seeing it. Because the matter is of great importance, I dare not neglect it."

Shen Xi felt a little nervous when he heard this, and then took a look at it, and couldn't help but change his face: "'Dote on concubines and kill wives'?!"

Ji's suicide note actually accused Shen Chongguang of spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife every word, but she died of injustice!

No wonder even Yang Qian came here in person!

"My lord! I wonder if there is any evidence to prove that this suicide note is true?!" Shen Xi stuffed the paper into Shen Yan's hand and asked immediately.

Shen Chongguang was not in the mansion at all when Ji's accident happened, and she clearly committed the death herself, how could she be divorced because of doting on her concubine and destroying her wife?

Of course, she also admitted that Shen Chongguang did not do well in some aspects, but it is also necessary to show evidence to label people. How could the Ji family be so disgusting?
How about writing such an inexplicable suicide note to frame Shen Chongguang?
What good does it do her?
What good is it for her children? !

She didn't believe that Mrs. Ji would be so stupid, let alone if she really couldn't bear it, why didn't she just die in Xing'ergou?
At any rate, she can be buried as the third wife of Shen, and there is no need for Shen Yan and her brothers and sisters to bear a disgraceful reputation!
But she didn't do that, and she also accepted Shen Chongguang's letter of divorce and gift, which shows that she didn't want to die either!

"Just now, I have compared the handwriting with others, and it is confirmed that it is indeed Ji's handwriting. I will submit it to the court, and wait for the people from Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to make a judgment.

"Miss Shen, if you have any doubts, you can wait here for a while, or you can file an appeal."

After Yang Qian finished speaking in an official manner, he took the suicide note back from Shen Yan's hand.

Shen Yan's lips trembled several times but she failed to make a sound. She looked at Ji's corpse lying quietly on the ground, shook her head and murmured: "This is impossible! There is no need for her to do this!"

"Do you recognize that handwriting?" Shen Xi hurriedly supported her and asked.

She looked up at her, her eyes wide and empty.

Seeing her like this, Shen Xi didn't need to ask anymore!

Of course Shen Yan recognizes Ji's handwriting, since she has identified it, it proves that the handwriting is not fake.

But why would Ji do this?
"Get out of the way! Don't stay here!"

Several officers and soldiers followed Yang Qian's order to drive them away, Shen Qu pushed and shoved them, Shen Xi hurriedly called the guards he brought to stop them.

Then she called Wang'er over again, retreated under the courtyard wall and asked him: "Is there really no suspicious person entering or leaving this courtyard these days?"

"No!" Wang'er said firmly, "This yard is so big, so the two of them have to take turns guarding it day and night, so it's impossible for them to not even see if anyone enters or not.

"Even if they climb over the wall and enter to commit murder, there will definitely be movement inside. However, Lady Ji, Nanny He and Chunmei are not unusual in their daily lives."
