The reborn son cursed his mother, bah, she heard it all

Jiang Ying's body swayed, and he suddenly remembered that the Sun family was certainly qualified to file a complaint with the emperor.

Although a third-rank Censor is not as good as a first-class duke in the Duke's Mansion, he is no unknown person in the capital!

But why did Sun Bo die?

He didn't die on the spot. After so many days, the person was gone. Then someone came and said that Jiang Yuanlang beat him to death. Even a fool wouldn't admit it!

Regarding the last sentence, Jiang Ying pulled Huang Mingquan aside to argue.

Huang Mingquan is the emperor's confidant. Instead of running over and yelling at the Sun family, causing chaos, it would be better to petition the emperor through Huang Mingquan.

After hearing her words, Huang Mingquan nodded and shook his head, "Madam Jiang, you saved my life. Even if you didn't say it, I would try my best to lobby for Jiang Sanlang in front of the emperor. But Lord Sun insisted that Jiang Sanlang beat him to death. Shuntian Prefecture first sent a coroner to the Sun family to perform an autopsy, proving that Sun Bo did die of internal organ damage caused by the beating. Only then did the prefect order the arrest. Otherwise, even if Zheng Yao had ten times the courage, he would not dare to arrest people at random."

According to the laws of Southern Zhao, killing someone means paying with one's life, and the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people if he breaks the law.

It was not a period of disorderly and indiscriminate killing.

Of course, if there was a murder in an official's family, such as the death of a few servants or concubines, as long as it was not a big deal and there were relatively legitimate reasons, Shuntian Prefecture would not intervene.

However, the prefect did not dare to neglect such a court official who personally beat the drum to appeal for justice.

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang, for taking the time to warn me. I originally wanted to talk to you about something, but I can't talk about it today. Let's do it another day. I have to go home now."

Jiang Ying thought that since the prefect had reported the incident, Sun Bo was determined, and the emperor was also aware of the situation, there was no room for a private settlement of the matter.

Then, the key to the whole thing lies in the dead Sun Bo.

Was he beaten to death by his third brother? We need witnesses, physical evidence and an official autopsy report.

Therefore, what she can do now is to start with these three things.

Huang Mingquan was stunned when he heard this. "Ah? Madam Jiang, why don't you go to the Yangxin Palace and talk it out in front of the emperor?"

Jiang Ying, "There's no point in arguing. I have to find evidence. As for the emperor, I'm sorry to bother Eunuch Huang. If Eunuch Huang has any physical pain in the future, just come to me."

Huang Mingquan was ashamed, "Mrs. Jiang, you are too polite. We are still taking the medicine you prescribed."

Jiang Ying walked forward quickly with the child in his arms and waved his hand, "Okay, I'll give you some more tonic later."

Huang Mingquan, "..."

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he turned around and shouted, "Come here, prepare a sedan chair for Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang cooked the ice jelly snacks herself, and the emperor liked them very much. She also took the trouble to bring the child to see the imperial concubine. She should be sent out of the palace in a sedan chair. Don't neglect the future Princess Mo."

What he said was true. Besides, as the chief eunuch, he had some privileges.

"Yes!" Xiao Xuanzi nodded her head rapidly, looking so enthusiastic that she almost wanted to pick out the most luxurious and spacious sedan chair for Jiang Ying, and put a few more layers of cushions on it so that she and the child could sit comfortably.

Huang Mingquan was in a hurry to go back, and seeing Xiaoxuanzi like this, he left it to him with confidence!

This was the first time that Jiang Ying didn't have to walk out of the palace on her legs.

The Duke's Mansion.

Everyone in the mansion was filled with gloom and sorrow because of Sun Bo's affairs, and the old lady was even more worried.

I was silently thinking about who I should ask for help in order to overcome this difficult situation.

When Jiang Yuanyi heard about this in the military camp, he ran back as fast as he could. Now he and Jiang Yuanchen were staring at each other, as if they were both caught off guard by the sudden actions of the Sun family and Shuntian Prefecture.

Jiang Yuanyi's face was solemn, and he stood up with a bang, "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to go to the Sun family and see what tricks they want to play!"

"I'll go with my brother." Jiang Yuanchen also stood up.

Jiang Ying arrived at this time and said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to go! The Sun family is determined not to let Third Brother go. Not only is it useless to go, but it will also make us look guilty."

"younger sister!"

"Sister Ying, why are you back?"

Everyone in the room looked at Jiang Ying in shock. Mainly because she was in the palace, no one expected her to come so soon.

This is of course thanks to Huang Mingquan. He ordered all the strong men to carry the sedan chair steadily and quickly, so Jiang Ying was able to arrive at the Duke's Mansion before dark.

Jiang Ying sat down, drank tea and told Siyu who was holding the child, "It's okay, you and Yinrui take the child to bed, I don't need you to serve me here."

Normally, ladies of the imperial court were not allowed to bring servants with them when entering the palace. Jiang Ying dragged her child along, and was reluctantly allowed to bring one with her.

Therefore, between Yinrui and Siyu, if one of them follows her into the palace, the other will wait in the carriage at the palace gate until Jiang Ying comes out and goes home together.

Not to mention the children, the two maids were also quite tired.

After the child was taken to bed, Jiang Ying calmed down. He looked at Jiang Yuanchen with burning eyes, "Second brother, let me ask you, did many people see Third Brother beating Sun Bo that day? And did you ask the madam to send the injured Sun Bo to the hospital afterwards?"

In order to find out the truth about his son's abduction, Jiang Ying learned everything that happened that day from beginning to end.

So, if Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanlang were careless and ignored it, she would believe it, but Jiang Yuanchen has always been careful and careful, and he also clearly said that he took care of Sun Bo, so it must have been sent.

As expected, Jiang Yuanchen nodded firmly, "Yes, the madam is a business owner, and she is also afraid that someone will die in the building and cause her to close down. In addition, Sun Bo is the son of the censor, so she will never leave it alone. But when Sun Bo was carried out, his injuries were indeed serious. Third brother... Third brother is covered in blood, and my eldest brother and I——"

At this point, Jiang Yuanchen paused, exchanged glances with Jiang Yuanyi, and then continued, "To be honest, we are not sure how badly Sun Bo was injured at the time."

In other words, it is very likely that Sun Bo was severely beaten and died of his injuries a few days after returning home!

This was the key reason why the family was at a loss before Jiang Ying came.

Lian felt dizzy when she thought of Jiang Yuanlang being in prison now. "Sister Ying, if Sun Bo was... really beaten to death by your third brother, then he... wouldn't he have to pay with his life?"

Lang Ge'er was only eighteen years old and would be nineteen next month. How could he die at such a young age?

Besides, my son is still at the front line. If I leave the house to her, if I really...

How will she explain to her son when he comes back?

When she thought of this, Lian couldn't sit still any longer. She slammed the table and stood up. "I'll go to the palace and beg the emperor. Don't the Sun family want an explanation? I'll give them my life in exchange!"

"Grandmother, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Ying hurriedly supported her and signaled Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanchen to close the door to prevent anyone from listening. "Big brother, second brother, do you also think that Sun Bo was really killed by third brother by accident?"

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "I don't know."

I really don't know. Sun Bo was covered in blood at the time, with a dull look in his eyes, so it was hard to judge what he looked like.

Jiang Ying helped Lian sit down again, poured her a cup of spiritual spring water to calm her down, and poured some for his two brothers as well. He deliberately slowed down his speech and said, "So, can I understand it this way? That is, when you saw the third brother stop beating Sun Bo, he was not dead yet? As for whether he died later, don't worry about it. Just say that at that time, he was not dead yet, so the second brother asked the madam to send him to the clinic, right?"

The three of them drank the spiritual spring water, their minds feeling dizzy.

I don’t know what’s the point of Jiang Ying deliberately emphasizing this point.

After a while, Jiang Yuanchen was still the one who reacted faster and nodded vigorously, "Yes! Sister is right, when we saw Sun Bo, he was still alive!"

Jiang Ying looked at Jiang Yuanyi, "Where's my brother? Are you sure?"

Jiang Yuanchen blinked, not hesitating but confused, "Alive...alive?"

"You can't stutter, you have to be sure, it's alive!"

Jiang Ying straightened up with a sigh of relief, his eyes passed through the window lattice and looked at the remaining clouds in the sky, "I heard that there are two main witnesses from the Sun family. One is Deng Er, who invited Third Brother to share the table that day, and the other is the madam of Tianxianglou, and there are also a number of miscellaneous eyewitnesses.

"As for the physical evidence, there seems to be a wine cup. When the third brother was furious, the wine cup rolled to the ground and he used it as a 'murder weapon'.

"Then there is the autopsy report by Shuntian Prefecture's own coroner.

"It's easy for Deng Er and the madam to bribe them, but it's not hard to overturn them either. The only problem is the autopsy report. It looks like I have to see Sun Bo's body in person to know what to do next."

After examining the body, the real cause of Sun Bo's death became clear.

Was he really seriously injured and died, or was there something else going on? When Jiang Yuanlang was examined in court, the explanations would be very different depending on the situation.

The old man and two children had never expected Jiang Ying to say that she wanted to see the corpse. The old lady frowned and said, "No, you are a girl, why are you going to see a corpse? Don't you know that the coroners in the government office always examine the corpse naked? -"

Jiang Ying interrupted her, "Grandma, I'm a doctor. In my eyes, there's only illness and no illness, no gender."

"That's what you say, but only people in the industry believe it. On the contrary, in the eyes of most people, the only thing that matters is avoiding suspicion and distinguishing between men and women!" The old lady refused and spoke earnestly.

Grandchildren are important, but she cannot sacrifice her granddaughter for the sake of her grandchildren.

"Sister Ying, you are engaged, and he is now the King of Mo. You have been through a lot and are in love with each other. Are you going to make a mistake at this time?"

Is this what my grandmother is afraid of?

Jiang Ying smiled indifferently, "Grandma, if you were talking about something else, I might still be worried, but if it's about Yan Zhuo, there's no need to worry. He knows who I am and what I like to do. He can't ask me to ignore my family for the sake of my reputation.

"In other words, if he can, I won't marry such a husband!"

Seeing that she couldn't persuade the grandson, the old lady became extremely anxious and glared at her two grandsons, wanting Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanlang to follow suit.

However, Jiang Ying's just one sentence instantly stopped the two of them!

She said, "Big Brother, Second Brother, besides me, is there anyone else who can do his best to save Third Brother?"
