enter the palace

Jing Changji lowered his eyes, connected his previous guesses together, and made a bold guess in his mind: "When Huo Er was showing off the jade pendant in Yipinzhai, did you ever argue with others? Or saw Who has it been?"

The two servants looked at each other: "I don't know what the second son is asking?"

Jing Changji: "Have you ever seen that the second son-in-law also went to Yipinzhai that day?"

The two servants had never met the second son-in-law: "Even if we met, we wouldn't know each other."

On the other hand, Young Master Xiang was taken aback: "Second son-in-law?"

Jing Changji looked at Young Master Xiang, thinking that the other party had some cousins ​​with the Mansion of General Zhen Guo, and the son-in-law came from the mansion of General Zhen Guo.

The eldest son-in-law has a good relationship with the second son-in-law, so it is possible that Young Master Xiang has met the second son-in-law.

"Did you meet the second son-in-law that day?" Jing Changji asked directly.

Mr. Xiang hesitated for a while, but nodded lightly: "It is true that we met. At that time, Huo Er was very excited when he talked about it. Because he said it eloquently and in a loud voice, many guests outside the box eavesdropped. Later, Xiao Er came After serving the food, I opened the door of the private room and noticed it. I went to chase people away. As soon as I got outside the private room, I happened to see the two sons who were leaving. One of them was indeed the second son-in-law. He walked to the end of the stairs at that time. As soon as the second son-in-law turned around, I saw it, but at the time I thought it was just a coincidence and didn't think about it. But this matter... it shouldn't have anything to do with the second son-in-law, right?"

After all, these two people are inseparable. The second son-in-law has never even met Huo Er, nor heard of any conflicts.

Jing Changji got what he wanted to know, and after some beating, he explained the medicine. They said so many things about Huo Er, in order not to be involved, they didn't dare to say anything more even after they left.

What's more, Jing Changji's so-called seven insect poisons are also fake, where can he get the poison and antidote?

But Mr. Cheng and the others believed it, so it was "true".

On the way back to Prince Rui's mansion, Jing Changji was even more convinced of his previous guess, after all, there is no such coincidence in this world.

When the second son-in-law was surnamed, he also stayed in the academy. The second son-in-law was also there when Huo Er showed off Miss Xu's jade pendant. It is very likely that the person that Miss Xu came to Beijing to look for was the second son-in-law.

The second son-in-law didn't know that Ms. Xu was looking for someone at first, but when Huo Er showed off the jade pendant, he found out and sent someone to investigate. Maybe...killing Huo Er was just to avenge Ms. Xu.

In this way, the motivation is established, and now it is only necessary to confirm whether the second son-in-law is Shi Yiping, and whether this is the person Miss Xu came to Beijing to find.

After Jing Changji arrived at Prince Rui's mansion, he went to the main courtyard first. At this time, half an hour had passed since Prince Rui and him agreed to check the news of the second son-in-law. Give Jing Changji a bamboo tube: "The master has already rested, this is the prize of the second son."

Jing Changji heaved a sigh of relief, took it over, thanked him, and hurried back to the side courtyard where Jing Wenwei was imprisoned.

Jing Wenwei had been waiting for Jing Changji to come back, and he was relieved when he saw that he was safe and sound: "Where have you been?" It was so late, he was really afraid that something would happen to his second brother.

Jing Changji shook his head to tell his brother not to worry, and then took Jing Wenwei back to the room.

The two sat in front of the table, and under the shadow of the candlelight, Jing Changji poured out a bamboo slip from the bamboo tube, which still smelled of wet ink, and he couldn't wait to unfold it.

As the first line of words came into view, although Jing Changji had already guessed, he fell silent after actually seeing it.

[Shi Yu, courtesy name Yiping, Tanhualang in the 21st year of Chengxian, was recruited as the second son-in-law because of his talent and appearance. 】

Seeing the change in his second brother's expression, Jing Wenwei couldn't help but poke his head over to look. He also saw the name at first glance, and was stunned for a while, but the second son-in-law was really Shi Yiping.

The two studied together for half a year, although later Jing Wenwei served in the Imperial Academy, and Shi Yiping became the second son-in-law.

But at any rate, there are several friendships in the past, so he never thought that Shi Yiping would blame him after killing someone.

Jing Changji's face was condensed. Even if Shi Yiping killed Huo Er to avenge Miss Xu, he shouldn't have involved his elder brother. Travel together with leisure.

Jing Changji continued to read, except for the brief introduction in the first line, followed by Shi Yiping's general biography.

Shi Yiping's family background is mediocre, thousands of miles away from Beijing, and the Xu family, the richest man in the city, has a fancy to make a marriage contract with Xu's daughter.

Unexpectedly, after Shi Yiping was hand-picked as Tanhua Lang, he was favored by the second princess and called as a son-in-law.

I didn't say much about Shi Yiping and Ms. Xu. I think it was two years later, and the time given was too short, so I could only find out so much.

But for Jing Changji, it was enough. Based on the combination of these and what Jing Changji found earlier, Jing Changji could probably get a glimpse of the truth.

It took half a year for Shi Yiping to become Tanhualang two years ago until he actually agreed to it, and he got married soon after.

If Shi Yiping wrote a letter and returned to his hometown to dissolve the engagement after he agreed, it would probably take two or three months for the letter to reach Xu's mansion according to the distance.

Xu's father should have agreed with this result during the period, after all, how can he win the princess of the dynasty?Therefore, Xu's father should not continue to contact Shi Yiping, but Xu's father agreed, and did not even mention that Shi Yiping regretted his marriage because he became a son-in-law, but only said that the engagement was terminated.

But Ms. Xu should want to ask for an answer. She couldn't get an answer from Xu's father, so she simply ran away from home and planned to go to Beijing to find Shi Yiping in person.

But she probably doesn't know much about Shi Yiping, and she doesn't know that Shi Yiping is now the second son-in-law, otherwise she would not go to the academy after entering Beijing, but to the princess mansion.

Miss Xu failed to find Shi Yiping, a scholar, in the academy, but was targeted by Huo Er, and was killed in the end.

The Huo family knew about this and grounded Huo Er. After Huo Er left the house, he did not know how to repent. He continued to show off and even made up lies and took out jade pendants to slander Miss Xu. Shi Yiping, who also came to Yipinzhai, happened to see him.

Shi Yiping recognized that the jade pendant belonged to Ms. Xu, and found out through private investigation that Ms. Xu was dead. He used Chunhun to kill Huo Er and put the blame on his elder brother Jing Wenwei.

In order to fear that Jing Wenwei would not admit it willingly, he simply involved Jing Changji, making Jing Wenwei mistakenly think that Jing Changji killed Huo Er, and willingly confessed.

Jing Changji held the bamboo slips in his hands, his pupils were dark, and the chill around him made Jing Wenwei afraid that he would go straight to the second son-in-law in a fit of anger: "Changji, are you okay? We have to think long-term about this matter, don't mess around .” Once the second younger brother beats the second son-in-law or something, he will only get himself into it.

Jing Changji shook his head: "Brother, don't worry, I'm fine." He just never thought it would be the second son-in-law, especially in the first life, he never doubted that it was the second son-in-law.

He knew that even if it was clear that the second son-in-law did it, they didn't have evidence, and it was difficult to investigate the second son-in-law, and there was no way to prove that the woman who had died and buried long ago was the second son-in-law's ex-fiancee.

The time left for them is only tomorrow, a white day. After sunset, the prince said before letting them go that he would personally bring people from Dali Temple to bring them back into Dali Temple.

Now they can only look for evidence tomorrow to see if they can find something that is more beneficial to them. At least it can prove that the second son-in-law has a motive to kill, and maybe there is still a chance.

Because it was already late, Jing Changji comforted Jing Wenwei and returned to the yard where he was staying. The wound on his arm opened and oozes blood after a whole day of running around.He asked the doctor to change his medicine again, and fell into a deep sleep after drinking the decoction.

But when he woke up the next day, Jing Changji's original plan to find evidence was destroyed. Emperor Chengxian in the palace knew that Huo Er had been killed. He wanted to see the two brothers and ordered him to enter the palace immediately.

Jing Changji was running around with a strong breath yesterday, and he probably found out that his breath was half relaxed. When he woke up early in the morning, his body was unspeakably heavy, and his face was pale and haggard. He patted his face with cold water, and he looked a little bit Looking up, he walked out of the yard, where the eunuch from the palace was already waiting.

The eunuch cast a sideways glance at Jing Changji, with a half-smile, "Second Master Jing, let's go with the miscellaneous family."

Jing Changji arrived outside Prince Rui's mansion, Jing Wenwei had already been taken there, he waited anxiously, saw Jing Changji approaching him, and when he saw his face clearly, he became even more anxious: "Chang Ji, your injury... "

Jing Changji shook his head lightly, he looked towards one place, and he was relieved when he saw Wei Yin's carriage.

He promised Wei Yin to save Uncle Gao earlier, and Wei Yin probably wouldn't let him die before he could save someone.

What's more, on the surface, Emperor Chengxian favored and trusted Wei Yin, but in fact it was not the case. The two were just superficial. If Emperor Chengxian wanted Jing Changji and his brothers to die, Wei Yin would even keep them.

It was inconvenient for Jing Changji to say much in front of outsiders, so he only gave Jing Wenwei a comforting look, and the two got into the carriage and set off for the palace.

When they reached the gate of the palace, some palace servants carried a chariot to the front of the carriage. Wei Yin, who was lazy and still sleepy, sat on the chariot, raised his eyelids, glanced at the sickly Jing Changji, and then looked away again.

Jing Changji and Jing Wenwei could only follow behind and walk towards the imperial study.

It took half an hour for the group of people to arrive outside the imperial study room. Following the chief eunuch to report, the heavy and majestic door was pushed open after a short while, allowing the three of them to enter.

Wei Yin still had the same sleepy look, but he had a good appearance and a slender figure. When he was lazily walking forward, his wide sleeves fluttered casually, which still attracted the palace people to peek at him.

Envious and afraid, it is good to have a good father and a good background, even if he is a jerk, he will still be close to the emperor, and no one will dare to mess with him.

Even hiding the murderer who murdered the second son of Huo in the mansion, even the prince can only give this face.

The three of Jing Changji entered the imperial study room, there were two other people besides Emperor Cheng Xian.

One is the prince, and the other is Huo Xiangye.

The dead Huo Er was the second son of Huo Xiangye. Although Huo Er was not on the stage, he was not usually seen by Huo Xiangye.

But Mrs. Huo saw it like eyeballs. This time Huo Er had an accident, and Mrs. Huo passed out after learning about it.

After waking up, he learned that the murderer had been taken back by Prince Rui, and made a scene in the mansion. Huo Xiangye had no choice but to enter the palace, but Emperor Chengxian was worrying about Concubine Liu Gui's illness, so he didn't have the time to worry about it.

Until Huo Xiangye reported to the Queen Mother Huo in the temple in the suburbs of Beijing, the Queen Mother Huo heard that the junior who liked her very much died, which was not bad, so she brought people back directly.

If it hadn't been too late for Empress Dowager Huo to return to the palace last night, the second brother of the Jing family might have been brought into the palace last night.
