Raising husband in Zhai Douwen

As soon as Yiri and Yang Jiming arrived at the Criminal Department, they felt the heavy atmosphere.

Prosecutor Hong Xiaobo walked quickly to Yang Jiming's side, and said affectionately, "Master Yang, a big case happened last night, which directly alarmed the emperor. The emperor ordered the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation together."

Yang Jiming asked as he walked, "What big case?"

Hong Xiaobo said with an exaggerated expression: "Duke Cheng died suddenly, bleeding from his seven orifices, and his death was horrific."

Yang Jiming frowned slightly, and said, "Thank you, Procurator Hong, for letting me know. I'll go see you first."

After finishing speaking, Yang Jiming quickened his pace and walked towards Xu Yihuan's study room where he usually works.

Hong Xiaobo spat at Yang Jiming's back, and cursed secretly: "You dude, what are you proud of? It's all about having a good family background!"

A yamen servant happened to pass by, and one of them said with a smile: "Procurator Hong don't need to be angry, I heard Hu Shilang said that Mr. Xu intends to hand over the case of Duke Cheng to Mr. Yang."

Hong Xiaobo gloated and said, "Huh? Then we can wait to see Yang Jiming's jokes."

After the two yamen servants waited for Hong Xiaobo to go away, another person asked, "Does Procurator Hong and Mr. Yang have any new or old grudges?"

The yamen servant who talked to Hong Xiaobo pointedly said: "Hong Xiaobo has been an inspector for ten years, and he is about to be promoted to be the chief executive, but suddenly Mr. Yang came, inspector Hong is still inspector Hong, what do you think?" Is there any grudge?"

"So it is."

The two yamen servants continued to move forward.

On the other side, when Xu Yihuan saw Yang Jiming coming, he told him about Cheng Guogong's case.

Cheng Guo Gong Ma Yuchuan had many wives and concubines, and many heirs, but his only legitimate son died young during a bandit suppression.

Since the death of Duke Cheng's son, the Duke's mansion has been fighting to the death for the title, and there is a smoky atmosphere.

Xu Yihuan told Yang Jiming: "Duke Cheng was a famous hero when he was young. However, it seems that after the death of his first wife, Duke Cheng became drunk and married concubines one after another. No taboo."

Yang Jiming wondered, "Is it self-degradation after losing his wife in middle age?"

"It's impossible to know, maybe it is." Xu Yihuan sighed, "Since the son died young, Duke Cheng's mansion has plummeted even more."

Yang Jiming pondered slightly, and said: "The case of Cheng Guogong should be investigated from the inside of the Duke's mansion first."

Xu Yihuan nodded and said: "Take a few people with you and go to the Duke's Mansion."

"Yes."

After Yang Jiming took the order, he immediately took several yamen servants to the Duke's Mansion.

At this time, the Duke's Mansion has set up a mourning hall, and there are already guests who have come to express their condolences.

After Yang Jiming arrived, he glanced around at the people in the mourning hall in mourning.Some are expressionless, some are wearing rouge, and some are smiling.

"Sir Young Master Yang? No, it should be called Mr. Yang."

"Second Young Master Ma, I was ordered by the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Xu, to come here to find out some information."

Ma Yi said politely: "Master Yang, please speak in the hall."

Yang Jiming said: "I will pay homage to the Duke of the country first."

"Okay." Ma Yiyan personally brought three sticks of incense to him.

After paying homage, Yang Jiming followed Ma Yiyan to the side hall, along with other young masters from the Duke's Mansion.

Ma Yihui was one of Yang Jiming's old cronies. He approached Yang Jiming and said, "Yang San, my father died tragically. You must find out who killed him."

Yang Jiming nodded slightly, and said seriously: "The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will do their best to thoroughly investigate the cause of the Duke's death."

The expression on Ma Yihui's face stiffened for a moment, and he said, "Then I'll leave it to you all."

At this time, people from Dali Temple also came.

Seeing Yang Jiming here, Shang Jiashu was stunned for a moment, and then said to Yang Jiming: "I'm a step late, did you ask anything?"

Yang Jiming said: "I've just arrived, and I haven't started to ask everyone about the situation."

Shang Jiashu nodded, and naturally took over the initiative.

As for Yang Jiming, with his uncle here, he couldn't help taking a step back.

Shang Jiashu said: "Call everyone who met the Duke yesterday."

Ma Yi responded strictly, and asked the boy to notify.

Not long after, a room full of Yingying and Yanyan came to the side hall.

Cheng Guogong's concubines said a word to each other, pushing and biting each other.As for the young masters and young ladies who were concubines, the same is true.

Shang Jiashu frowned slightly, glanced at Shang Jiawen in the corner, and said, "Third brother, come forward."

Immediately, everyone was dumbfounded, it seemed that after a burst of surprise, they remembered that the male concubine their family had accepted for the short-lived son was Shang Jingcheng's son, the younger brother of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"Big brother, second brother-in-law."

Shang Jiawen saluted Shang Jiashu and Yang Jiming.

Shang Jiashu asked: "Did you also meet the Duke yesterday?"

Shang Jiawen replied: "We have to greet the Duke of the State every day, and the morning and evening are fixed, so everyone in the mansion is here."

Shang Jiashu nodded and did not continue to ask him, but said to Yang Jiming: "Ji Ming, come and ask questions."

Yang Jiming didn't dare to contradict his uncle, and asked the people in the Duke's Mansion willingly.

It was also because of their relationship that Yang Jiming asked the Yamen servants from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to come in pairs and ask them one by one.

Yesterday, Cheng Guogong was having a good time as usual.After nightfall, he rested with his two concubines in his arms, never expecting to die suddenly.

As for the two concubines, they have already been imprisoned in Dali Temple.

After Yang Jiming synthesized the results of everyone's interviews, he didn't get any useful information.

He asked Shang Jiashu: "Brother, do you know if there will be an interrogation for those two concubines?"

"They all said that Grandpa Guo went mad suddenly and injured them, and then he bled to death from seven orifices."

These words, the two concubines came to Dali Temple from the Duke's Mansion, and insisted that they did not know.

Ma Yiyan said: "My lords, my father's two concubines are his new favourites. They have no reason to murder my father, nor do they seem to have the courage to do so."

Shang Jiashu said solemnly: "We will investigate this matter, and we will not wrong them. If you think of anything, remember to come to Dali Temple to inform this officer, or to the Ministry of Punishment to inform Lord Yang."

"it is good."

Ma Yiyan and his brothers sent them to the door together.

Yang Jiming did not go back directly to the Ministry of Punishment, but went to Dali Temple with Shang Jiashu.

In the women's dormitory, the two concubines looked haggard and their eyes were red from crying.They had just become Dukes of the State, and thought that they could enjoy all the glory and wealth in the Duke's Mansion, without worrying about food and clothing, but they never thought that what awaited them would be a prison sentence, and they might even die.

When Yang Jiming walked to the cell, the two concubines immediately pawed at the cell door and said anxiously, "My lord, we have been wronged."

"Talk about what happened last night carefully, especially if there is anything strange about it. If you don't want to be regarded as the murderer who murdered Duke Cheng, then you should think it through." Yang Jiming's voice was cold and indifferent.

The two concubines were quiet for a moment, as if they were trying to calm down, carefully recalling what happened last night.

One of the concubines with an oval face said: "Last night before the break, the Duke only drank three or four glasses of wine, and he was too drunk."

Another concubine with a round face nodded repeatedly, and said anxiously: "Yes, the Duke has always been a good drinker, but he got drunk after only a little bit last night."

Yang Jiming nodded slightly, and said to the yamen servant next to him: "Write it down, and find out where the wine came from last night, and who has had contact with it, or has the opportunity to contact it."

The yamen servant responded: "Yes."

The concubine with a melon-shaped face said falteringly: "That wine is Baihua wine from Chenxiang Winery."

Hearing this, Yang Jiming couldn't help being stunned, frowned slightly, and then continued to ask: "Are there any other special places?"

The round-faced concubine said: "Before I fell asleep, I seemed to smell a strange fragrance, most likely it was the fragrance of jasmine."

The one with the oval face said: "My sense of smell is not as sensitive as hers, so I didn't smell it."

The one with the round face said: "Master Yang, I have a better sense of smell than ordinary people, so there is little possibility of mistakes. Someone must have put us all to sleep with incense, and then fed medicine to the Duke."

Yang Jiming grasped a point in the words, and asked, "How do you know that the Duke was given medicine?"

The round-faced concubine replied: "If he hadn't been given the medicine, how could the Duke of the country have become abnormal, and he even died."

Yang Jiming looked at her suspiciously, "You are smart."

The round-faced concubine continued: "We are the most beloved concubines of the Duke of the Kingdom. What good will it do us if the Duke of the Kingdom is dead? My lord, we were wronged."

Yang Jiming pondered slightly, and said, "If you smell the scent you mentioned just now, can you recognize it?"

The round-faced concubine immediately replied: "I know, I know."

Jiming Yang said: "Continue to think, is there anything special?"

The two concubines continued to think about it, and couldn't help looking at each other anxiously, unable to think of anything special.

Yang Jiming waited for a while, but before they could reply, he said, "I will investigate the wine and fragrance you mentioned just now. You should stay in jail until you clear your suspicions." After that, he He turned around and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, the one with the oval face opened the cell door and raised his voice, "It must be the second young master and the third young master!"

Yang Jiming stopped, turned around and said, "Framing others is also a crime."

The concubine with a melon-shaped face said hurriedly: "The Duke said that he would not pass on the title to the second and third young masters. Because of this matter, the two young masters had a big fight with the Duke, and they were still in private I said below that I want to kill the Duke."

Yang Jiming asked: "Then do you know why Cheng Guogong is unwilling to pass on the title to them?"

The concubine with a melon-shaped face said: "The Duke said that they killed the son."

The one with the round face nodded beside him.

Yang Jiming asked: "How did Duke Cheng know about it?"

The melon seed face said: "My lord, we have only heard of it that way. Once, the Duke scolded the second young master and the third young master angrily, saying that he slipped his mouth."

The round face said: "We all heard that the son was killed in a bandit suppression. We don't know why the Duke would say that."
