eye-catching

The governor of Liangzhou died of illness at home. Upon hearing the news, the prince rushed to Liangzhou to attend the funeral.

The prince took Yuan Qi with him, and when the group arrived in Liangzhou, the prince was talking with the governor's eldest son, Li Tingyan, while Yuan Qi stood aside and waited.

At this glance, he saw that General Li Biao was also here, and then he remembered that Li Biao was the elder brother of the governor of Liangzhou, and it was normal to come here.

Yuan Qi heard from the prince that the original princess was Tingbai, the daughter of the governor of Liangzhou, but she died in that assassination. Thinking about it this way, it is normal for the prince to come here to attend the funeral of his father-in-law.

When Li Tingyan saw the prince, he first thanked him, and then said, "When my father died, he kept calling my sister by her name."

The prince nodded, even himself, sometimes he would think of Tingbai who always smiled like a flower. Although he didn't love her, he thought that if he had met her earlier, he should have fallen in love with her Bar.

As a concubine, she is reserved and reserved, but she is very cheerful and smart. She will share his worries and be gentle with others. She is indeed a rare smart woman.

He only wanted to attend the funeral of the governor of Liangzhou because he was a husband and wife, otherwise, the emperor would be displeased.

Fuyi only said: "Father-in-law, is there any unfinished wish?"

Li Tingyan shook his head and said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my father just wants his family to live well. Hearing the news of my sister's death, although I was overly sad, I didn't mean to blame the lord at all. The prince is considered a family."

Fuyi was deeply moved in his heart, and only he who really regarded him as a family would say these words from the bottom of his heart.

"I see."

Fuyi lowered her head and said nothing.

The governor's funeral was over in one day, and on the second day, all the guests left, Fuyi came to the governor's mansion, and saw the governor's wife wiping her tears and knelt down in front of Fuyi.

"Mother-in-law! What is this for! Please get up!"

Fuyi hurried over to help her, and the wife choked up and said, "My lord, you have to decide for my master!"

"what happened?"

Fuyi faintly felt bad.

"My lord, the poor girl heard that the lord has a unique trick to solve the case, so she thought she must have a look at it."

"what happened?"

Li Tingyan said from the side: "My lord, mother thinks that father's death is strange."

Fuyi frowned and asked, "What's so strange?"

"The doctor said his father died of poisoning," Li Tingyan said with a bow. "Father went to Sima's house to drink on the second day of April, and he was out of breath when he came back at night. Everyone in the court said that Sima poisoned his father. Then Sima was thrown into prison."

Fuyi said: "Do you think Sima didn't kill him?"

Li Tingyan's eyes were very firm: "Sima and his father have been friends for decades, it is impossible to poison him. The judiciary is eager to send Sima to prison. There must be something to hide."

Fuyi asked: "Sima is in prison now?"

"Yes, the sentence has not been decided so soon."

Fuyi nodded and said with a smile: "This is a favor, I will help you, now, take me to see Sima."

As soon as the madam heard that the prince had agreed, she immediately knelt down to thank her, but Fu Yi helped her up.

"Who can speak in the court?"

Fuyi asked Li Tingyan on the road.

Li Tingyan was in charge of Si Tian, ​​so he had some weight in the court, but everyone said that Sima poisoned the governor, so Li Tingyan couldn't say anything.

Now that the governor is dead, the court is in chaos, Changshi doesn't care, Sima is in prison, and the remaining six directors don't dare to say anything.

The prince saw Sima in the prison of the Yamen Mansion, and he looked very haggard. He was afraid that the torment in this prison would soon be unbearable. When he saw the prince, he didn't react at all. He just stared blankly at him. Several people.

Fuyi frowned, and asked, "I have something to ask you."

After speaking, he ordered the people here to let him out, let him have a meal first, and then ask questions.

Since the prince has given such orders, these people dare not disobey. After all, no matter how powerful the judiciary of a small Liangzhou is, it cannot be as powerful as Prince Gong.

After a stick of incense, Sima was brought in front of the prince clean and tidy, and he finally regained some energy at the moment.

The lord has solved several cases, and now he is famous. When Sima saw the lord, he naturally knew that the lord must have come to save him, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, this old minister was wronged!"

"This king asks you, when did the governor come to your house in the second year of junior high school?"

"Going back to the prince, he came at the second quarter of Shen Shi."

"Is the poison put in the wine?"

"Yes."

"So, is that wine your home wine or bought outside?"

"Go back to the prince, the wine that the old minister drinks every day will definitely not be a problem."

"So, it's someone in your family who poisoned you?"

When the prince said this, there was still a little smile on his face, as if he meant that something had nothing to do with him.

"The old minister's family has only his wife and a son. The son has a close relationship with Governor Li. It is even more impossible for the old minister's wife to poison him."

"Where's the servant?"

"There are two servants and two maidservants in the old minister's house. They both worked here since they were young. It is impossible to poison them."

Fuyi chuckled: "Then tell me, who poisoned you? And when did you poison them?"

"I heard from the servant of the old official's family that the old official's daily wine was gone on the second day of the junior high school, so he went to the city to buy it. I didn’t see anyone after drinking, and came back straight away, it must have been poisoned in the wine shop.”

"Oh?"

Fuyi raised her eyebrows slightly, it seemed that the case was a little simpler than he imagined.

"Where is the wine shop?"

"It's at the eastern end of the city."

The prince called the servant of Sima's family, and followed Sima to the wine shop. The owner of the wine shop was an elderly man, and when he saw so many people coming, he immediately smiled.

Fuyi smiled and said: "Boss, we don't buy wine, so we will ask you something."

"You say you say."

Just seeing the robe Fuyi was wearing, he expected that this person had a noble status.

"On the second day of April, before this person came to buy wine, did anyone buy wine?"

As Fuyi said, she pushed the servant forward.

The boss knew this servant, and said with a smile: "He, he comes to my place to buy wine every half a month. On the second day of junior high school... I think it seems that he came quite early. Oh, yes, there was a customer who came here before. To buy wine, I remember it was the first time I came to the shop, when I came here, I smelled the wine and said that my wine smells good, I bought a lot of wine at once, and there was only one jug left!"

After listening for a long time, Fuyi finally grasped the point, and asked, "Just leave a jug of wine after he said it, right?"

"No, no!" The boss said with a smile, "He first said he wanted everything, and then he saw someone entering the store to buy wine, and returned a jug from the sidewalk, saving it for the guests behind."

Fuyi looked at the servant, needless to say, the guest behind him was him.

Fuyi nodded and asked, "Then do you still remember what that person looked like?"

"This..." The boss smiled apologetically and said, "I'm old too, so I can't remember clearly."

Suddenly, he asked again, "What happened to that man?"

Fuyi shook her head and smiled, and led the people away.

It seems that the poison was poisoned when the pot of wine was returned. As long as the last pot of wine was bought by Sima's servants, the poison would be complete.

Fuyi frowned all the way, as if she was thinking about something.

shouldn't be...

Sima said: "My lord, now, do you believe that the poison is not from the old minister?"

Fuyi just nodded and didn't speak.

How did it go so smoothly?

If it can be found out in this way, then the prisoner is really not smart.

"Then, the pot of wine was poisoned, so Sima should have been poisoned to death, right?"

Fuyi's words surprised everyone.

"It's just that the governor just happened to go to your house and drank the poisoned wine. After all," Fuyi looked at Sima and asked, "Did you not drink the wine?"

Sima replied: "My lord, the old minister felt unwell after taking a nap that day, so he dared not drink alcohol. After Inspector Li came, he used tea instead of wine. He didn't think there was something wrong with the wine until he heard that the governor had an accident at night."

Fuyi nodded and asked, "So, you took the initiative to say that there was something wrong with the wine?"

"Yes."

"Then, the problem is not Sima, but the judiciary." Fuyi turned to Sima and said with a smile, "Did Sima offend the judiciary?"

Sima paused when he heard this, and then sighed heavily: "The old minister is useless."

Sima was originally a vain job, and he could get his salary without worrying about food and clothing just by sitting at home, but this Sima can have any problems with the judiciary, it seems that this Sima must be in charge of things too much.

Fuyi smiled and said: "With this king, my lord can make an agreement."

Sima sighed, and then spoke.

It turned out that Sima knew that the judiciary was easy to accept bribes a few years ago. If he asked him to release someone or arrest him, he only needed two silver coins. This Sima also turned a blind eye, but this time, the judiciary Arresting a local corrupt official in Liangzhou is no problem at all, but the judiciary did not investigate the fact that the corrupt official received money to appoint an official. Sima couldn't get used to it this time, and wanted to report it to the governor. .

Fuyi nodded after hearing this, and said, "So, it is very likely that it was poisoned by the judiciary?"

Li Tingyan expressed his opinion on the side: "The judiciary is very smart. I don't think he can do this kind of trick of poisoning. He can charge Lord Sima any crime and put him in prison. Makes sense."

Fuyi asked: "So, is the judiciary using a knife to kill someone?"

Both were silent.

It's getting late, so Fuyi will go back to the governor's mansion first.When he stepped into the mansion, he suddenly remembered one thing——

He promised the emperor that he would go back in three days.
