Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

A group of people returned to Dali Temple, Xie Xuan asked the old mother to be locked up in the cell first, and then he went to Li Yong's room. At that time, Li Yong was also devastated.

"Brother Li, what's the matter, is he really poisoned? How did the emperor say that he calmed down?" Xie Xuan was burning with anxiety.

"It is indeed poisoning. The poison of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang has been poisoned in the last three days. The triggering thing is mixed with the incense ash on the altar. You didn't go today. I went earlier, but I found that the incense ash The problem is that it smells like nitrate, but I checked it carefully and found nothing wrong with it, so forget it, how can I know that it is mixed with medicine. If the queen is not present, no one will recognize this medicine. "

"Xu Mou? What kind of medicine is this? It's really unheard of. If someone really poisoned it, then the Ministry of Rites might pick it out from the middle?"

"Brother Xie, are you confused? The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the entire sacrifice, not to mention the incense ash, which of the above expenses is not made by the Ministry of Rites? It would be fine if the high priest directly assassinated him. It has been found out that it was poisoning." , The poison is still mixed in these things, do you think the Ministry of Rites can get rid of it?" Li Yong patted Xie Xuan on the shoulder, "Brother Xie, you know that the emperor is furious, even if we can find out who did it now, the Ministry of Rites The officials are also afraid that they will push someone out to convict this immoral and incompetent negligence."

"I've thought about it since you asked someone to come back and tell me it was poisoning. Brother Li, let me think about it. The most important thing now is to find out the case. It's better to make up for the mistakes." Xie Xuan bowed his head, At this time, his temples were throbbing and painful, he was too tense this day. "By the way, Brother Li, you just said that the poison was poisoned within three days. Recently, only a girl from Liyuan came to the residence of the high priest, named Chun Xiao, who is the chief oiran there. It happened that she came to live in his other courtyard four days ago. Yes, it's a pity that when I took people there, she had already left with an excuse. The housekeeper said that she left early in the morning. I went to Liyuan to ask, and the high priest gave me money for ten days. Now there is not enough time. She also left alone without sending a letter to Li Yuan, there must be something wrong."

"Li Yuan? Li Yuan again?" Li Yongdao, "Yesterday, I have been following Vice General Jiang's Anzi to report back, saying that Li Yuan may be the place where Yi Wang and the others hid their soldiers, but it has not been confirmed yet, further investigation is needed. "

"No wonder he stopped me today. If I really asked someone to go in and search, I'm afraid I would startle the snake. The land in Liyuan used to belong to Lu Tan's family. Now it seems that King Yi has already taken it. It seems that what happened back then In all likelihood, it's what they mean." Xie Xuan frowned, in the past two years he and Li Yong sent out many people to inquire about Lu Tan's news, but those people seemed to disappear into the world , There was no reply at all.

"That's all. I'm entering the palace today. The emperor means that I will come to see Concubine Zhen tonight. I think I will clean it up in a few days. The Holy Majesty asked me to pay attention to the movement in the army in private. All the cases of Dali Temple will be handled by you. By the way According to the law, this case needs to be tried in three sessions, but you don’t need to worry about it, you can investigate it in the next few days, and in two days, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments will definitely ask for a joint trial, and the emperor will stop it when the time comes." Li When Yong entered the palace today, besides bringing a book to the queen, he would naturally intercede for the Li family. Although it was to save face, he also knew what kind of relationship Xie Xuan had with the Li family.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xie Xuan returned to his place with a heart, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Thank you brother Li, thank you brother Li. Don't worry, brother Li, I only brought Li Yuan's old mother back. Just go to the interrogation, wait until you make up an excuse, say that you will let the person go back after asking clearly, and I will slowly let the guards back in Liyuan, in short, it will not startle the snake. Vice-General Jiang, you still let it go It's better for people to keep an eye on it, lest there will be a change."

The two broke up after reaching a consensus, each busy.Xie Xuan ordered Li Yuan's old mother to be taken to the interrogation room, and all the questions were about Chun Xiao, but the mother said she didn't know anything and shouted that she was wronged.Xie Xuan didn't force a confession either, he just threatened a few words at random. Although the mother was frightened, she still cried out that she didn't know. He brought Chunxiao's personal girl who stayed in Liyuan before to ask questions.He said it was a question, but he was not in a hurry. While he was going back, he thought about it carefully. Since Li Yuan had already hidden the stragglers, he naturally wouldn't provoke such disputes so easily. After all, Chun Xiao was from there. If you follow the clues, you can find out some clues, and you will only expose yourself.So if the poison was really from Chun Xiao, then it is possible that it is not just Yi Wang and his group who are hiding in the capital.The most important thing right now is to find Chunxiao, but all the clues have been broken on the surface, and they can only wait for Anzi to return.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, when Xie Xuan went to visit Li Zhiyuan in the prison again, he was eating, he was holding the chopsticks in one hand, and was struggling weakly on the plate, Xie Xuan went in quietly. "Why don't you have a good meal?"

Li Zhiyuan looked up and saw that it was Xie Xuan who came, and quickly pretended to be grilling the rice, and said, "I'm eating. It's delicious. It happened that I was so busy a few days ago that I didn't even have time to eat properly. Now it's just right. I Let's relax."

"Nonsense." Xie Xuan was very displeased with Li Zhiyuan's seemingly sensible appearance. This kid has always expressed his feelings directly, and he would not cover up his happiness or displeasure. Now that he has encountered such a big event, he is naturally flustered. No matter what, she still acts like this in front of him, no matter how he looks at it, it hurts her heart. "Don't worry, the emperor has signaled that this case will not be tried by the three divisions, and all will be held in Dali Temple. Now as long as you find the person who poisoned you, you will not be implicated."

"I'm not scared, didn't I always tell you that I believe in you?" Li Zhiyuan smiled at him, picked up the rice again, took two bites, then raised his head and asked Xie Xuan, "Have you never eaten rice?" ?”

Xie Xuan sat behind him, half-circling him, patted his head with one hand, and said, "I've used it, I've used it."

Li Zhiyuan turned his head, looked at him suspiciously for a long time, wiped his mouth with a piece of toilet paper, and then kissed him. Xie Xuan didn't understand why he was so enthusiastic for a long time. He pushed it away and said viciously: "Liar, you obviously haven't eaten anything."

Xie Xuan looked at the back of Li Zhiyuan's head, was stunned for a while, then smiled to himself, embraced him from behind, reached in front of him with one hand, took the chopsticks from his hand, and whispered in his ear: "There is only one thing to do here. I have wronged the young master, let's make it easy, and have lunch with the villain."

Although he smiled and persuaded Li Zhiyuan in the prison, Xie Xuan was still at a loss when he got out of the prison. It's easy to say, but the key is how to find the person who poisoned him?Don't say that the Ministry of Rites didn't spare even a small foreman. All 120 five people were taken into custody in Dali Temple.Furthermore, it would be fine if the person who poisoned was really from the Ministry of Rites, but there were too many people in the imperial mausoleum that day, and the number of guards and envoys who could get close to the incense burner was even greater. Those in prison are afraid that they will stay for some days.

After coming out of the cell, Xie Xuan went back to his rest room first. Today, the case will be tried overnight, and the dungeon is cold, so he thought about going back to get a fur cloak, and by the way, find one to send to Li Zhiyuan.As soon as the door opened, he saw that his desk was messed up, and the books were scattered all over the floor. Xie Xuan hurried in, only to find that almost all the books had been thrown to the ground in a mess, and there was only one book written by Tai/Zu Nian on the table. "Southern Xinjiang Documentary", this book is not Xie Xuan's.The book was not gaping, but was opened to a certain page and pressed with a paperweight.

Xie Xuan removed the paperweight, picked up the book, looked at the page turned up, and wrote: "The people in southern Xinjiang are proud of piercing their ears, and women's ear ornaments are a symbol of identity... the birth of a man One day, wrap it in a sheep blanket, take ice from the cellar, put it on the earlobe, and when it is extremely cold, use a silver needle to pass through the ear, and the child will cry, and the ceremony will be completed."

"Come here, come here." Xie Xuan shouted, and the little envoy who was serving outside hurried over.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

"Where were you just now? Has anyone been in this room?" Xie Xuan asked urgently.

The man read the book that had been dumped all over the floor in Xie Xuan's room, knelt down and said, "The villain just went there for convenience, and no one has been here during this time. My lord, check it out, check it out."

Xie Xuan was puzzled, but he suppressed it, and said: "Order, the people detained by the Ministry of Rites today will be brought here in groups of ten, and the rosters of those people will be brought up."

After hearing this, the envoy hurriedly ran and retreated.

In the interrogation room, the people from the Ministry of Rituals were divided up, and ten people were brought in. Xie Xuan was not in a hurry, so he put the previous book on the table, and stood up in front of them, checking their earlobes one by one. .Thirty people looked at it in a blink of an eye, but found nothing. Xie Xuan was also a little guilty. When he saw the book just now, he wondered if it was done by his own secret son, but when he thought about it carefully, all the people around him had been sent out. Get out, no one at all.But no matter who it is, since that person put the book on his desk and turned to this page, he must have a purpose, and now he is just treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, trying his luck.

In this way, Xie Xuan finally found something when he saw the sixth column.That person was one of Li Zhiyuan's subordinates. Xie Xuan had seen it when he was eating mutton that day. On his left earlobe, there was a small imprint, which was similar to the pierced ear of his daughter's house, but it looked closed. It should be I haven't worn those things for many years, and they are growing fast, so I can't tell if I don't look carefully.Xie Xuan didn't make a sound, left that person behind, and looked at the earlobes of the 120 five people one by one, in case any fish slipped through the net.Fortunately, only this person was found in the end.

At this time, Xie Xuan put on his figure, went back and sat on the old man's chair in the interrogation room, and took a sip of the cold tea. : "Come on, why poison?"
