Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"This is the Princess's Mansion, there should be no mistakes." After Fang Yi said it bluntly, he asked Luo Ge to lead people to keep a close eye on Concubine Pei. He was the most suspicious, and hoped to find clues to break through from him.

Luo Ge promised to do it immediately.

Fang Yizhi sent someone to ask Li Ke for news.Not long after, a reply came from there, asking Fang Yi to go straight to Wu Wangfu.

The official responsible for taking over the disturbance in Ling'an Temple was Fu Yunzhi, the county magistrate in charge of the area of ​​Ling'an Temple.At that time, the eight instigators ordered by Li Mingda to arrest committed suicide in Fu Yunzhi's prison in Fu County.

Yesterday, in order to confirm that there was no other cause of death for these eight people, Fang Yizhi sent a message in the name of King Wu to order him to re-examine the corpses.Now Fu Yunzhi himself came to Anzhou City to report the situation.

When Fang Yizhi arrived, Fu Yunzhi marveled that Fang Yizhi's demeanor was not like ordinary people, and then hurriedly bowed to Li Ke and Fang Yizhi again in panic, and then said in a very sure tone: "From Ling The eight provocative civilians arrested by An Temple were indeed caused by poisoning. However, the true identity of these people has not yet been ascertained."

Li Ke nodded, but he didn't have any complaints, and turned to look at Fang Yizhi inquiringly.

"Are you really sure that the cause of these people's deaths is indeed suicide by taking poison? What kind of poison, where is it hidden, and how to take it, can you find out all of them?"

"Uh... I haven't found out what kind of poison it is. I only know that the eight people died in the same way. Before death, they all had a strong convulsion and finally died of respiratory arrest. Now there are many poisons attacking, and they all died like this, so I don't know. It is very easy to determine what kind of poison it is. As for the matter of taking the poison by oneself, the lower officials can be sure in every possible way. Because the eight people had just arrived in the county government prison at that time, they had not been provided with food, water, etc., so there was no such thing as poisoning by others. .”

Fu Yunzhi was very sure that these eight people brought over from Ling'an Temple committed suicide by swallowing poison in their county government prison.

Hearing his affirmative tone and clear description, Li Ke also believed it unconsciously, and nodded, feeling that Fu Yunzhi did a good job.Just as he was about to praise Fu Yunzhi, he listened to Fang Yi over there.

"Keep them all, and the body is not allowed to move. I will take someone to your mansion tonight." After Fang Yi said that, he hurriedly bid farewell to Li Ke, rode back to the princess mansion, and then asked someone to send a message to Li Ke. Mingda, let's see if she is interested in going to Fu County with me.The princess has abnormal senses. If she is willing to help him, Fang Yi believes that the key clues will be found in this case soon, and it will not be difficult to solve it.

Li Mingda was worried that this matter was related to Xi Wang's case, and hoped to resolve it as soon as possible, so he was willing to agree in his heart.But she didn't understand why Fang Yizhi was in such a hurry, "But what's the flaw in what Fu Yunzhi said?"

"No." Fang Yi said straight.

"Then why don't you believe him?" Li Mingda asked again.

Fang Yizhi: "He was too sure, saying 'everything is certain', how dare someone who has not seen what happened with his own eyes be 'everything is sure'."

"That's a reason."

"Besides, there is this magistrate Fu, who has a bad reputation among the people." Fang Yi added directly.

"Why not?" Li Mingda asked.

"It is rumored that he is an extremely lecherous person, and he likes women very much." Fang Yizhi deliberately emphasized the sound of the word 'very'.

Li Mingda immediately nodded and said straight to Fang Yi: "Okay, let's leave now."

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Li Mingda was so straightforward when he heard the word "lusty".But since she is willing to agree to go, no matter what the reason is, she is quite honored.

Li Mingda asked Fang Yizhi to wait for a while, and after changing back into men's clothes, he set off immediately.A group of people rode fast horses and spent an hour and a half night traveling to the prison in Fu County.

Not long after they arrived, Li Mingda heard the sound of horseshoes from the east of the county.Li Mingda didn't follow Fangyi straight into the county government office immediately, but stood there and waited a while, turning his head and looking east.Seeing this, Fang Yi also stopped, didn't ask any more questions, just waited patiently on the spot.

Because Fu Yunzhi went to Anzhou, he has not returned yet, and now the affairs of the government office are temporarily in charge of Liuxian Cheng.

Liu Xiancheng still remembered that Fu Yunzhi said that two noble children from Chang'an City were ordered to investigate the case a few days ago, one was the eldest son of Liang Gongfang Xuanling, and the other was from E State The second son of Duke Wei Chi Gong.These two people's family backgrounds are extremely distinguished and distinguished. It is no exaggeration to say that a casual sigh in Chang'an City can shake their small place of Fu County.

So now Liuxian Cheng suddenly heard someone report that Fang Yi was coming, so he naturally thought that the noble boy following him was Yuchi Baoqi.

Liuxian Cheng was so terrified that he bowed again and again, his legs trembling with fear, and his head was sweating profusely.

Seeing him like this, Tian Hanshu couldn't help feeling amused.If Liu Xiancheng knows that the person who came with Fang Dalang is the famous Princess Jinyang, I'm afraid he will pee his pants right now.

Li Mingda heard the sound of the horse's hooves approaching, and after two sentences of dialogue, he knew who was coming, turned his head to Fang Yizhi and the others and said, "Let's go."

Liu Xiancheng, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard that "Yuchi Erlang" had such a beautiful and clear voice, even a bit like a female voice.He did not expect that the legendary Yu Chigong, who was mighty and brave, would give birth to such a quiet and nice son.But this kind of thing is not uncommon. There is a cousin in his hometown who is short and ugly, and it is not easy to see where to marry a wife. However, the two of them gave birth to a tall and beautiful child. It is really unreasonable. .

Because Liu Xiancheng was nervous, he didn't pay attention to the faint sound of horseshoes coming from the east. At this moment, in his eyes, there was nothing more important than serving these two noble sons, so he hurriedly invited them in.

When they arrived at the mortuary, Fang Yizhi sent his accompanying Wu Zuo in for an inspection, while he and Li Mingda stood outside the door and waited.

Not long after, Li Mingda heard a man from outside the county office yelling anxiously, "Did Fang Dalang and the others not come?"

Then the man heard that the man had arrived one step ahead of him, and that he had been taken into the mansion by Liu Xiancheng to the mortuary, so he was so angry that he cursed and sighed that he was unlucky, and then implicated his anger on Liu Xiancheng, saying that he was doing something. It's just a brain, no thinking.

After that, Li Mingda heard Fu Yunzhi walking hurriedly towards them.

Li Mingda looked at the morgue, hesitated for a while, and felt that since Fu Yunzhi was so guilty, there must be something wrong with the deaths of these eight people, so he stepped in.

Fang Yi didn't expect Li Mingda to rush into the mortuary room, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said: "Nineteenth Lang, there—"

"It's okay." Li Mingda asked someone to light up the lantern, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and walked around the eight corpses wrapped in straw mats in the house. Apart from some smells that should be in the mortuary room, Li Mingda smelled A green smell.Something like grass leaves, crushed into juice.But this taste is somewhat different from grass juice, and has a slightly special fragrance.The scent was a bit familiar, but Li Mingda was a little tired from riding a horse, his mind was confused for a while, and he couldn't remember anything.

Fang Yi went straight to Li Mingda, asked her how she was doing in a low voice, and then told him that the county magistrate Fu Yunzhi was back.

"I know."

As soon as Li Mingda finished speaking, Fu Yunzhi scolded him from outside the mortuary, blaming Prime Minister Liu for letting the two distinguished guests step into such a dirty place, "You brainless farmer, you know how to see a dead person!" You are suffering from bad luck, unlucky for several days in a row, how could you be so stupid to let the two gentlemen go to such filthy places casually. What are you doing, who are you showing your face? Are you still wronged? Hurry up and prepare pomelo Leaf wormwood and other things will drive away the darkness for the two gentlemen!"

Liuxian Cheng repeatedly dared not dare, and after apologizing to Fu Yunzhi, he hurriedly led his people to prepare the things he explained.

Afterwards, Fu Yunzhi put on a smirk, bowed his body into the morgue, repeatedly apologized to Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda, and asked them not to stay in such an unlucky place.

"Is it bad luck to die?"

"It's natural, who doesn't want to live a good life, and hates death." Fu Yunzhi smiled more and more kindly.

"As the magistrate of a county, in the face of the death of the people, he actually talks about the taboo of corpses. Not to mention that there have been dead people in this county prison, it is the place where you live, and that is also the former residence of the dead. This place is tainted You have a bad luck that you can't get rid of, so why do you stay here, why don't you resign immediately?" Fang Yizhi had a gentle face, but his words were lingering, giving people an unbreathable constriction.

Fu Yunzhi was stunned for a moment, panicked and amazed.He really didn't expect that Fang Dalang was so talkative and well-informed.Fang Dalang can even know what happened in his little Fuxian county government.The death of a person in the county yamen was because he took office, named Lin Ping, and was exposed for taking power and corruption, so he committed suicide in his dormitory, his wife and daughter went with him, and the family of five hanged themselves on the beam.

Li Mingda didn't know the matter, so he asked Fang Yizhi what the source was.

Fu Yunzhi first apologized to Fang Yizhi, and then flattered Li Mingda by telling Li Mingda how Lin Ping's family committed suicide that year, and then he judged: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard that when the body was found , scared a few yamen servants to the point of peeing their pants, we can see how pervasive the situation was at that time. After all, it is "I knew why I had to do it today", but it is really miserable and pitiful."

After Fu Yunzhi sighed, he continued to apologize to Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda, "The two gentlemen are right, but as the magistrate of a county, it is too wrong to say something because of the taboo about death. Yunzhi knows his mistake, and apologizes to the two gentlemen."

Because of the darkness of the night, Li Mingda couldn't see Fu Yunzhi's apologetic expression very carefully.In short, at first glance, Fu Yunzhi's apology was quite sincere.Then Li Mingda looked at him more. He was in his thirties, with a medium appearance and a fat and round body. Sometimes he showed cleverness in his speech, and sometimes he gave the impression of kindness.But behind the scenes, what Li Mingda heard about Fu Yunzhi's speech was dirty and violent.

This magistrate Fu is at least a double-faced person.

Fu Yunzhi hurried back to the county office on horseback. He planned to rush back to the county office first by taking a short path before the house was left, so as to settle the matter.But because Fu Yunzhi himself is fat, and the horses he rides are not as good as those of Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda.So it was he who chose to take the path and rush back from Anzhou City, but he was still one step behind Li Mingda and Fang Yi, which made Fu Yunzhi nervous and frightened.

After observing Fu Yun, Li Mingda had to suspect that the cause of death of the eight instigators in the morgue was not the so-called "suicide" that Fu Yunzhi had previously reported.

If these eight people did not commit suicide, then there would be no such thing as dead men, and then some of the situations that she and Fang Yizhi had deliberated before would have to be overthrown again.

Fu Yunzhi smiled and invited Fang Yizhi and Li Mingda to sit in the main hall of the government office, prepared goat milk juice and other things, and asked the two gentlemen about their itinerary, whether they should stay in the government office tonight.

Fang Yi nodded his head.

Li Mingda said: "Then vacate the place where the county magistrate you said died and live with me, and let you see how useless your so-called taboos are."

Fu Yunzhi was horrified, and hurriedly bowed to Li Mingda in admiration to express that he understood and would correct it in the future, but it would be a little bad to let a distinguished guest live in a house where someone died.Fu Yunzhi turned to look at Fang Yizhi, hoping that he could say something to persuade his friend.

Fang Yizhi was also shocked by Li Mingda's words, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked Li Mingda softly: "Do you really want to be like this?"

Li Mingda nodded.

Although Fang Yizhi couldn't figure out why she made such a request, he had seen the princess's intelligence for a long time.Fang Yizhi naturally believed that every decision made by the princess had a necessary reason, so he sent Fu Yunzhi to make the arrangement without hesitation.

"But the house has been sealed and no one has lived in it for a long time, so there must be a lot of dust. I will order someone to clean it immediately. It may take some time. Please wait for a while."

Li Mingda said: "I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower, I'll send a few people to help." Li Mingda then sent Tian Hanshan, Biyun and others, and gave Tian Hanshan a special look.

Tian Hanshan nodded, and then left.

Since there was nothing else to ask, keeping Fu Yunzhi would be an eyesore, so Fang Yizhi sent Fu Yunzhi away, and couldn't help but ask Li Mingda why he did this.Fang Yizhi thought he was not very curious, but since he got in touch with Princess Jinyang, he really asked more and more questions every day, almost like a five or six-year-old child who loves to ask why.

"After Fu Yun's mention, I think about it. I really want to hear someone mention Lin Ping in the restaurant today, saying that his family died miserably and died unjustly. Then I don't know who he is, so I just pass it by. Let's take a look at the place where they committed suicide and see if there is any doubt."

Li Mingda can hear a lot of discussions and names every day.Especially when she was in a busy city, she absorbed more voices, and she couldn't organize all the voices she heard into her head.Some are unimportant, and she often forgets them after hearing them. She may not remember them until someone mentions them.

"Lin Ping, I'll ask someone to investigate later."

Not as good as Li Mingda said, Fang Yizhi had already thought of what she thought.

This is a good follower.

"However, is Nineteen Lang really going to live in a haunted house tonight?" Fang Yizhi asked again, with a flash of concern in his eyes.

Li Mingda nodded, "Naturally."

"I just admire it."

……

It was not until Haizheng that the room was cleaned.

Li Mingda entered the room, and glanced at the layout of the room. Although the furniture is a bit old, everything is still eye-catching, and the porcelain ornaments are also very troublesome. It can be seen that the former owner of this room lived a simple life but also understood life. .

Tian Hanshu said on the side: "I told them again and again not to touch anything, but to clean it up. The house is as it is."

"very good."

After the person retreated, the surroundings were quiet, only the chirping of cicadas and crickets outside the house could be heard.

Li Mingda couldn't help but look up at the beam, but there was no trace on the beam.It's just a little high, hanging on it to commit suicide, you have to set up a table and step on a stool.There were five people hanging there back then, I'm afraid there is not such a long table for five stools.However, it is not ruled out that Lin Ping killed his wife and daughter first, and then committed suicide himself.

Seeing this, Tian Hanxi followed his own princess, looking up and down the beam, imagining that a woman in white clothes was hanging dangling on the beam, with disheveled hair... Tian Hanxi suddenly trembled all over, and his mouth was so frightened. White.

Tian Hanshan folded his hands and held them tightly, then moved hesitantly towards his princess.As it was approaching, Tian Hanshan called out tremblingly: "Nineteenth Lang, slave, slave..."

Li Mingda turned to look at him.

Tian Hanshan felt that he was worthless, he was such a big man, no, half a man, and he was a few years older than the princess, but he was even less courageous than the princess, he really shouldn't, really shouldn't!

Li Mingda immediately searched every corner of the room. Although this house is said to be a haunted house, it should have been cleaned up after death, and nothing special was found.It was only in the crevice of the dowry that I found a bead full of dust, and after wiping off the dust, I saw that it was a red coral bead.

Tian Hanshan really admired his princess's eyesight. When cleaning the room before, he checked up and down no less than three times, but found nothing. However, the princess looked at it and saw it.

For some reason, there are scratches on the coral beads, as if they were scratched back and forth by something like a needle point.

Li Mingda handed the beads to Tian Hanshan and asked him to put them away, and then he went around again, hearing rustling voices coming from five or six directions again.Li Mingda picked up the quilt from the couch, carried it out of the room.In a small pavilion on the east side of the courtyard, Li Mingda sat down and surrounded himself with a quilt.

Tian Hanshan hurriedly followed, and asked your lord why, is it possible that the princess is also afraid of haunted houses?

Li Mingda looked sideways at Tian Hanshan, and then said in an unnatural tone: "Enjoy the scenery."

"It's pitch black at night, how can there be any scenery—" Tian Hanshan was gouged out by his own princess before he finished speaking, and quickly changed his words, "Ah, the servant found out that the scenery in this courtyard is really real. Well, it’s like a fairyland on earth, look at how thick the tree is, and the leaves on the ground turned yellow and fell off, it’s not bad.”

"Shut up, it's useless to have such a mouth like you." Li Mingda glanced dissatisfied at Tian Hanshan, remained silent for a while, and then explained embarrassingly, "I'm not afraid of the dead, but I'm not afraid of the haunted house, but that room There's something in the room."

There are too many mice.

"thing?"

Tian Hanshu trembled all over, could it be a ghost?There are rumors that the child's eyes are pure enough to see ghosts, and his noble master's eyes are the clearest and most beautiful, so he may have really seen it.

No wonder he suddenly thought of some horrible scenes in the room before, Tian Hanshan was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, and nodded in understanding hastily.

Li Mingda smiled at Tian Hanshan, and asked him to tell him a story to pass the night away.

Tian Hanxi racked his brains, and told Li Mingda some little things he knew about the palace, such as the deep sisterly love between the maids, the little eunuch's willingness to help others, etc., but within an hour of talking, his mouth Stopped.

"Continue." Li Mingda said.

Tian Hanshan had a mournful face, "The slave's story is gone."

"No books." Li Mingda was so bored that he regretted it.

Biyun came over at this moment, smiling and holding a stack of books in his hands and sending them to Li Mingda.

Li Mingda took a look, and found that he hadn't read it, so he happily picked up a copy, and praised Biyun for being so caring.

Biyun smiled and said, "Nineteenth Lang praised the wrong person. This book was sent by Fang Dalang just now. He said that he was afraid that Nineteenth Lang would be bored when he couldn't sleep. You can read it casually."

"He has a heart." Li Mingda sighed, thinking at the same time, this Fang Yi probably bought the book specially because he expected that she would suffer from insomnia.

Not long after, someone came to deliver things again.Li Mingda took a look, it was actually an epiphyllum.The flower plant grows very well, with jade-white flower buds hanging on it, exuding a faint fragrance.She put down the book in her hand and tilted her head to look at the "Beauty under the Moon" illuminated by the candlelight. It was extremely beautiful.

Tian Hanshan was very happy, and praised Fang Yizhi for his thoughtfulness.Now it's all right, the bad thing about not being able to sleep because of fear of the haunted house has turned into a beautiful thing about reading flowers at night while holding candles.

Li Mingda ignored Tian Hanshu's words, continued to read most of the book with his head down, and suddenly heard the sound of a flower bud opening slightly, so he put down the book, leaned sideways, and lazily stared at the epiphyllum plant with his chin resting on his shoulders.Gradually, you can see the flower buds slowly unfolding, revealing a delicate face, so beautiful...

In the early morning of the next day, Li Mingda yawned with a tired look on his face. After being washed and washed by Biyun, he felt much more energetic.

When seeing Fang Yizhi again, Li Mingda was no longer tired.

Fu Yunzhi also came at this time, and after meeting Fang Yizhi first, he greeted Li Mingda.

"I see that Mr. Yuchi is in good spirits. It seems that he had a good rest last night. This taboo is really cowardly. Yunzhi will arrange people to live in that room from now on, and it will not be empty."

Li Mingda was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he sent Fu Yunzhi away, and said seriously to Fang Yi, "You helped me last night, now I will help you."

"Nineteenth Lang, please make it clear." Fang Yizhi looked at Li Mingda expectantly.

Li Mingda picked up the agricultural policy book that Fang Yizhi gave her last night, "I just remembered it because I read it. The smell like grass juice in the morgue is like green celery."

"Green celery?" Fang Yizhi pondered for a while, and then said, "But there is a kind of celery that grows by the river. It is poisonous. Its leaves and stems taste similar to celery, but if it is eaten by cattle and sheep, it can kill you. Spotted hemlock, the locals like to call it Pulsatilla."

Li Mingda nodded, admiring Fang Yizhi's erudition, he even knew such things.

"Thank you Jiujiu Lang, this is an important clue," Fang Yizhi continued to Li Mingda, "If it was the poisonous hemlock juice that killed these people, then they would not be able to carry this poison with them."

Li Mingda nodded, "If it wasn't for nobles raising dead soldiers, ordinary people would not be able to get such poisons as they like in this kind of place. If these eight people died of this poison, the nobles would be less involved."

"Did Nineteen Lang think that Concubine Pei was Pei Ji's son before, and when Pei Ji was prime minister back then, he was the one who supported and assisted King Xi, so..."

Li Mingda nodded, "It's possible that I overthink this matter."

"Yizhi is also a matter, after all, there are people who keep using the name of Queen Xi's descendants one after another. Now, it seems that they may be making a big splash." Fang Yi turned around and quietly ordered to monitor the county magistrate Liu Yunzhi , As for other people in the Yamen who are also suspected, they all need to be supervised.What's more, it is necessary to find out what happened to the people in the prison when the eight people died that day.

After breakfast, Fang Yizhi was busy investigating the county government and had many things to arrange.Li Mingda was fine, and now because of the clues to the case, he didn't feel sleepy, so he went outside for a walk.I don't want to go out, just met Di Renjie with two entourages, talking with the yamen.

When Di Renjie saw Li Mingda, he was stunned for a while, his face was surprised for a long time, and then he realized that it was wrong to look directly at the princess. Kuro".

Di Renjie quickly straightened his legs that were about to kneel down, then bowed his hands with a smile and made a shallow salute to "Nineteen Lang".

"Why are you here?" Li Mingda asked.

Di Renjie hurriedly whispered: "Shortly after Brother Yizhi left, I was summoned and ordered to come. I just arrived in Anzhou City last night, and I heard that Brother Yizhi was in Fu County, so I came here early."

"I see." Li Mingda nodded, and sent Di Renjie into the government office to find Fang Yi, leaving her alone.

As soon as the person left, Li Mingda whispered in his mouth: "It's strange."

Aye sent Fang Yizhi to come, and Di Renjie to come.Knowing that Anzhou had something to do, he sent her here too.Li Mingda became more and more suspicious of Aye's intentions at the beginning, and it seemed that he really wanted her to come here to relax.

Afterwards, Li Mingda walked around the street, chose a clean shop, ate a bowl of Hoto, and asked the shopkeeper where the town was bustling with people, and it was a place where everyone liked to talk about things.

"There is one by the Baizhao Lake. It's unique and easy to find. Many people like to go there for a drink and a chat, and they can go boating." The doctor in the shop saw Li Mingda riding a horse and well-dressed, so he recommended it with a smile, and his eyebrows were beaming.

Li Mingda rode to the place recommended by the doctor. Before arriving, she heard Yingge's laughter and some chaotic chants.After getting closer, looking at the house with the closed gate and the clearer conversation sound from a distance, Li Mingda was more and more sure of where it was in his heart.

Li Mingda hesitated for a moment, then got off the horse.At this time, three or two men had already come out of the house, and the laughter of the women in the courtyard could also be vaguely heard along with the sound of opening the door.Seeing this, Tian Hanxi also understood where it was.He hurriedly dismounted, reminding the princess that the place is not allowed to enter.

Li Mingda glanced at Tian Hanshan, then led the horse to the lake to give the horse a drink of water, and then straightened the horse's mane.

Tian Hanshufang knew that he had misunderstood the princess, so he quickly apologized, then looked at the mansion that should be by the river and sighed: "This place is good."

"Some ability." Li Mingda looked at Baizhao Lake, and saw that there were two painted boats on the lake, which looked no worse than those used by the nobles in Chang'an City.

Tian Hanshan wanted to speak, but Li Mingda stopped him with a gesture of his finger.When the east wind came, Li Mingda took advantage of the wind and turned his ears slightly towards the direction of the house, and then sat down on the spot.

Seeing this, Tian Hanxi hurriedly took a mat from the horse's back and laid it on it.

Li Mingda listened carefully again and again, and could confirm the voice of Prince Consort Pei.

"...Then our tight son-in-law thinks my kung fu is better, or the princess's?"

"Of course it's yours. Your soft flesh is just enough to hold, making people think about it. Her, huh, disappointing is enough."

"Zitong is too bad, to say that about that noble princess."

"She is not as good as you, so I will say."

"I am happy to hear this, but when you go back, you are not allowed to say that. You must coax the princess well. After all, she is a royal daughter. Don't offend the son-in-law, and ask for trouble."

"Sure enough, he is my heart and soul, so considerate and considerate of me. The more you are like this, the more I miss you. I only wish I could be integrated with you every day and never be separated."

"Qing'er wishes to do the same."

The two of them should have just turned upside down, the woman's voice was slightly panting, with a coquettish attitude.And Prince Pei's breath became even more uneven.

But Li Mingda could still hear that every word Pei Consort said to the woman was full of doting and joy, he should be very happy at this moment.I just don't know whether this joy comes from the venting between men and women, or if it really brings a feeling of affection.

Li Mingda beckoned, called Cheng Chubi, and ordered him to send someone to monitor the house, and also sent someone to the government office to inform Fang Yizhi.

Not long after the guards who had gone to pass the message left, Li Mingda heard someone telling Pei Consort that something happened to the government office in Fu County.After Prince Consort Pei asked what had happened, she hurriedly prepared to leave, and when she parted, she did not forget to kiss the woman named Qing'er one last time.

After that, Li Mingda was by the river, and saw Prince Consort Pei riding west with his two attendants from a distance.

Li Mingda saw her people following her, so she was about to leave. As soon as she got on the main road, she saw Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie coming towards her.

Di Renjie was surprised again when he saw Li Mingda, and after getting off his horse to salute, he was puzzled and said, "This is the news I just got, how could Nineteen Lang know about this place?"

"It's good to hang out." Li Mingda said.

Di Renjie still thought it was a coincidence, and turned to look at Fang Yizhi.Fang Yi could guess the reason straight away, his natural face was calm and he didn't question it.Seeing how calm he was, Di Renjie thought to himself that he might have made a fuss, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Why do you come here?" Li Mingda asked.

"Following a house slave sent by Fu Yunzhi."

It turns out that the person she heard to report to Prince Consort Pei was Fu Yunzhi.

"Spotted hemlock." Fang Yi said suddenly, looking east.

Both Li Mingda and Di Renjie followed Fang Yizhi's gaze, and saw a place on the east side of the lake full of white flowers. The flowers bloomed on the top of a tree, like an umbrella, and they were connected together in pieces and swayed with the wind. A scene.

"This brothel is not only famous in Fu County, but also in Anzhou. People call it Qing Niang's House. It is located by the lake. It is quiet and beautiful. There are also boating games on the lake. You can play different tricks. And the courtyard The women are all attractive in appearance, and they are better than the gods, Qing Niang is the most, so many nobles come to visit here." Luo Ge truthfully relayed the news he inquired about.

"The fake mother in the brothel is called Qing Niang?" Li Mingda asked.

"A woman named Qing'er. No one knows the exact surname, so everyone calls her Qing Niang."

"The matter is about to be clear, you check it out, I'll go back first." Li Mingda felt sleepy now, so he rode away.

Di Renjie looked at the princess's back, thoughtful for a while, and finally saw Fang Yi walking away, so he hurried to catch up.

Di Renjie: "What are we doing?"

"Take this house and go back to Anzhou to interrogate Qing Niang."

"Isn't Concubine Pei trying to scare the snake?"

"It's better to let the snake move." Fang Yi said bluntly, and ordered the accompanying soldiers to surround the house and forbid anyone to go out, "You will all hide in the house to guard, and if anyone comes, you will be arrested and asked. Report your identity."

Fang Yizhi then ordered General Luoge not to forget Fu Yunzhi, and escorted him and Qingniang to Anzhou City.

After that, Fang Yizhi and Di Renjie rode back to Anzhou City on fast horses, and tried the case in Wu Wang's mansion, so even if a certain son-in-law got the news, he didn't dare to make trouble casually.

Fang Yizhi first interrogated Fu Yunzhi and asked him what method he used to poison the eight instigators to death.

Fu Yunzhi denies it.

Then a bundle of spotted hemlock was thrown in front of Fu Yunzhi.

After Fu Yunzhi saw it, he was shocked, but still denied it.

"We have found the stems and leaves of not completely crushed hemlock from the throats of two of the dead. The green juice squeezed from three plants can kill one person. The eight of them will never be captured by you, Each of them carried a few plants of spotted hemlock on their backs!"

Fu Yunzhi's body trembled.

"The prison guards have already admitted that on the day the eight people died, you sent Liu Xiancheng to reward them with a meal. After returning, they found that the eight people were poisoned and died in the prison. Later, because of your pursuit of responsibility, Liu Xiancheng and others I was afraid, so I agreed with your suggestion, and believed that the eight people committed suicide by taking poison themselves. But is that so?" Fang Yi asked directly.

The more Fu Yunzhi listened, the more he trembled all over his body, he lay down on the ground in fright, kowtowed to Fang Yizhi and confessed the crime.

"The lower official is guilty, and for some reason, he became obsessed with ghosts. He believed the woman's words, and accidentally killed eight people by mistake." After Fu Yunzhi admitted this sentence, he burst into tears, regretting his mistake.

Then Fu Yunzhi told the story.

He said that he had been admiring Qingniang very much these days, and that Qingniang aroused his desire every time he saw him, but she just went so far that he scratched his heart and scratched his head, but he couldn't get her even more.There was a chance two days ago, Qing Niang invited Fu Yunzhi to have a drink, and said that the eight people sent by the yamen were useless animals raised in her yard, and asked Fu Yunzhi to help open a way for her people to teach them a lesson.Fu Yunzhi was naturally unwilling, but seeing Qingniang wearing tulle, her plump and alluring figure made her feel itchy in her heart, and she really wanted to have the soft fragrance in her arms so that she could live and be tender.Afterwards, under Qing Niang's all kinds of flattery, Fu Yunzhi tasted something new, but felt more and more itchy and couldn't stop.

Fu Yunzhi knew that these eight people were involved in the disturbance in Ling'an Temple. Although the matter should not be serious, but after all, the princess sent someone to pay attention to the situation, so he should be more careful in handling it.So she promised Qingniang to let her people into the cell, but only allowed them to beat and scold them for a while.

"Xiaguan never expected that those eight people would all die soon after. Only then did Xiaguan realize that he was cheated by Qingniang, and he regretted it. But even though he was killed by Qingniang, he committed such a heinous crime. I can't get rid of the relationship. Everyone died, and things were done, and I wanted to regret it but failed. At this time, Qing Niang introduced Prince Consort Pei for me, and I thought it would be good to have another backer, so I just left it at that."

In the next room, Li Mingda was peeling melon seeds, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard Fu Yunzhi's confession.This is really strange.She was a little curious about who this Qing Niang was, what was her motive for killing the eight people, and whether it had anything to do with the incident of "Xingxia" by the descendants of Queen Xi.
