Facing third brother Zhao Ningxuan's question, Zhao Qingzhi smiled meaningfully, lifted her skirt and walked out of the room.

Zhao Ningxuan raised his eyebrows, his little sister just smiled and said nothing, is there any interesting story about marrying into the palace?Zhao Ningxuan shook his head, he was able to win Prince Jing's heart in just a few days, did his little sister really forget about Song Ziyou?If so, it is a blessing.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ningxuan quickly left the house and caught up with Zhao Qingzhi. When the two of them walked through the rockery, they noticed that the maids were in a hurry, so they stopped the two maids.

"What happened? Why did you look in a hurry?" Zhao Qingzhi said slowly.

"Princess Jing, the eldest lady hanged herself, and the Duke is ordering the servants to pull down the red light."

"What?" Zhao Qingzhi was shocked when she heard that, even if Zhao Ziyou made an embarrassment in front of others, based on her understanding of Zhao Ziyou, Zhao Ziyou would not commit suicide easily, so, Zhao Yong and Zhao Dongxu wanted Zhao Ziyou to die?Is family affection and human life so light in the eyes of two people?

Although she wished that Zhao Ziyou would be hacked into pieces, she really didn't expect Zhao Ziyou to die like this. It's a pity that she couldn't 'send off' Zhao Ziyou in this life.

"Little sister, go to the front." Zhao Ningxuan looked serious.

"En." Zhao Qingzhi responded lightly, and walked towards the banquet.

The two people lying on their stomachs on the rockery watched Zhao Ningxuan and Zhao Qingzhi go away with gloomy eyes.

"This time, I would like to thank Concubine Yi for your help." King Kang Jiang Jingyu whispered.

"You don't need to thank me, you can go too." The woman in black took off her black mask, revealing her delicate face, and looked at the weak Jiang Jingyu.

"Here." Kang Wang whispered, and he went down the rockery while no one was around.

The woman in black also turned around and flew down to Zhao Ziyou's courtyard, knocked out a maid and carried her into Zhao Ziyou's room.

There was no one in the room, only a 'dead man' lying on the bed, who had already been dressed in white clothes by the mothers, and the woman in black changed their makeup with a cold face.

At this moment, Jiang Jingqiao had already arrived at the banquet place first. Hearing a group of people comforting Zhao Yong and Zhao Dongxu and his son, he was puzzled, so he waved his fan and said loudly, "What's the matter? Why don't you drink and have fun, why are you all crying?" ?”

Zhao Dongxu bowed to Jiang Jingqiao when he heard the sound, and cried: "Your Highness, the aphrodisiac/medicine of the minister's daughter-in-law has been defiled by others. After waking up, the minister's daughter is in great pain and has now hanged herself!!!"

"What? Zhao Ziyou is dead?" Jiang Jingqiao stayed where he was, it was really cheap for Zhao Ziyou just to die like this.

"Your Majesty's daughter died unjustly, Your Highness." Zhao Dongxu fell to the ground and cried loudly.

"Where's the person who defiled the eldest lady?" Jiang Jingqiao walked to his food table, sat down, and asked leisurely.

Zhao Dongxu heard the words and said: "That servant has already been executed by the staff."

"The stick died?" Jiang Jingqiao sneered, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Zhao Dongxu raised his head to look at Jiang Jingqiao in panic when he heard the words, trembling his mouth and was about to speak when Zhao Yong touched him. Zhao Yong walked up to Jiang Jingqiao and said sadly: "Your Highness, Dongxu couldn't bear seeing his beloved daughter being defiled. Enraged, he rushed at His Highness, and hoped His Highness would forgive him for his loss of his daughter."

Jiang Jingqiao curled her lips, Zhao Yong, an old fox, is quite good at answering, today is a happy day for her to accompany Zhao Qingzhi back home, she lost her life, it's very bad luck, she shouldn't be forgiven, but Zhao Yong said so, she Using this as a punishment is unreasonable in front of everyone.

"Forgiveness or not, let's talk about it after the matter is cleared up. On the day of returning home, people were killed, not only the king but also the princess and the royal family, and must be strictly investigated." Jiang Jingqiao said and looked around, "Who is in charge of the criminal department now? "

Meng Yunying heard that one head was two big, and she groaned sadly.

Jiang Jing was puzzled when he saw this, but he didn't have the time to talk to Meng Yunying. When he was looking around to see who was coming out, he found Meng Yunying who was beside him took a step forward, and couldn't help but stare. Meng Yunying moved to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?Why didn't you tell her?

"Returning to Your Highness, Your Majesty ordered your minister to temporarily take the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment this morning." Meng Yunying said with nothing to love.

"Oh?" Jiang Jingqiao raised his eyebrows, remembering that Yun San handed over Huang Jue's criminal evidence to Dali Temple, and now there should be a verdict, so he asked, "Can Huang Jue's charges come down?"

Meng Yunying heard the words and said truthfully: "His Royal Highness King Huijing, today the Dali Temple has played a memorial to His Majesty. Huang Jue not only slandered His Highness, but someone secretly sent evidence of Huang Jue's acceptance of bribes. The verdict is convincing. He will be punished for several crimes and sentenced to death." , Confiscated property."

Jiang Jingqiao nodded, as expected.

"Well, since Brother Huang ordered you to take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment temporarily, if someone died today, I will leave this matter to you, and you can investigate."

Meng Yunying's face was ashen, she was no problem asking her to rebuild the palace or build water conservancy, but it was the first time for a big girl to get on a sedan chair when she was investigating the case, and it was really unlucky to encounter such a thing when she first took office.

Jiang Jingxin had a smirk on her lips, she knew that Meng Yunying didn't have a cleansing record on her bookshelf, so she touched Meng Yunying's shoulder and said teasingly, "Master of the Ministry of Punishment, Sister Wang asked you to check it out, don't embarrass me. , Of course, if you really can't find out, it's okay, I will intercede for you in front of Sister Wang."

Meng Yunying gritted her teeth, Jiang Jingxin ridiculed her for being powerless, she was a scholar, she was self-aware and not annoyed, but now she was the first to say that she was not good at investigating cases, she couldn't bear it .

"Dare to ask Mr. Zhao, but you saw it with your own eyes, the eldest lady was defiled by that servant?" Meng Yunying ignored Jiang Jingxin and asked Zhao Dongxu aloud.

Zhao Dongxu hurriedly said: "Indeed, when the officer saw it, he was so angry that he dragged the boy to the yard to die with a stick."

"Then is there anyone else in Missy's room?" Meng Yunying asked.

"No, no, after the official staff killed the young servant, he took someone back to the house and found that the little girl had hanged herself." Zhao Dongxu rolled up his sleeves and began to cry.

"Where is the lady's personal maid?"

Jiang Jingqiao laughed when she heard that, Meng Yunying was pretty good at it, she opened her fan with a smile, only to find Zhao Qingzhi and Zhao Ningxuan standing in the crowd.

Zhao Dongxu wiped off his sweat and said, "That girl Ruixiu is missing."

When Meng Yunying heard this, she looked at Jiang Jingqiao and said, "Your Highness, can I send the officials from the Ministry of Punishment to search for Miss Ruixiu in the Zhao Mansion?"

"I have to ask the Duke." Jiang Jingqiao looked at Zhao Yong with a smile.

Zhao Yongwen said: "Your Highness, this matter is clear. That boy had planned it long ago. After drugging Ziyou, he wanted to take advantage of the excitement in front of him and secretly defile Ziyou. Unexpectedly, someone found out. Now Ziyou hanged himself to protect his reputation. That boy deserved what he deserved, so what else is there to investigate?"

"That's right!"

Everyone heard the reputation and looked around, only to see King Kang striding towards here.

When Jiang Jingqiao saw King Kang Jiang Jingyu, she was extremely angry. She saw that King Kang was intact and even in good spirits. She suddenly felt that her intelligence was insulted. Why was her strategy not working well?

"Ah, just now I wanted to find Fifth Brother for a drink, but I haven't seen Fifth Brother for so long, where did Fifth Brother go and where did he call?" Jiang Jingqiao restrained the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked with a feigned smile.

When Kang Wang heard the words, he remembered what Concubine Yi said about Jing Wang carrying him to Zhao Ziyou's bed, and he smiled meaningfully. When did Xiao Shiqi start to have suspicion and guard against him?Today, after planning for so long, he was foiled by Xiao Shiqi, and almost got thrown out. It's interesting.

"The king came back from the toilet and found that Shiqi was not there, so he searched around, but he didn't expect Shiqi to come back first."

Jiang Jingqiao looked into Kang Wang's eyes and smiled: "Why didn't Fifth Brother go to the west courtyard of the Zhao Mansion when he was looking for me? Just now, my concubine asked me to visit the place where she grew up, so I stayed in her boudoir for a while. , Brother Wu should know about the newlywed Yan Er."

"Oh? So Shi Qi likes Princess Jing very much?" Kang Wang's eyes were filled with gloom.

Jiang Jingqiao met Kang Wang's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Now that Zhao Ziyou is dead, she doesn't need to act any more. Kang Wang should know almost everything about being rescued, so she replied, "Naturally."

Kang Wang was taken aback, he was deceived by Jiang Jingqiao so early?Damn it.

"Fifth Brother is happy for you if Seventeen can marry your sweetheart." Kang Wang laughed.

"Fifth brother should be happy, but now is not the time. The eldest daughter of the Zhao family hanged herself today. Presumably fifth brother should have heard about it on the way here? Human life is a matter of life, and it is not impossible to ask the people from the Ministry of punishment to investigate. I don’t know why Fifth Brother just now agreed with the Duke of Guo’s opposition to the Ministry of Criminal Justice’s investigation?” Jiang Jingqiao smiled at King Kang with her hands behind her back.

King Kang heard the words and said: "The elders of the two dynasties naturally don't want to make their family ugly. Seventeen, if the Ministry of punishment is involved in this matter, wouldn't everyone in the imperial capital know about it? Even though you and I are princes, we should give some to the old officials." Face is the only thing, besides, this matter is already very clear, why bother?"

"Fifth brother's remark is wrong. There are many strange things about this matter. The eldest lady is eating in front of her, why did she leave the table suddenly? Even if she leaves the table, she should bring her personal maid with her, but why is the eldest lady in the room alone? It just happened to give the boy an opportunity? What happened in the middle? Whether the maid betrayed the master or was assassinated by someone, this needs to be investigated."

Kang Wang saw that Jiang Jingqiao insisted on investigating, but he did not leave any evidence, so he said: "Seventeen's words are also reasonable, so let the people from the Ministry of Punishment investigate. This king is also curious about what happened."

Seeing that the two princes had spoken, Meng Yunying said with sweat on his forehead: "Then I will send yamen servants into Zhao's mansion. If you offend me, please ask the Lord Haihan."

"Where, just come and investigate, if you can find out something, it will be a comfort to Ziyou's spirit in the sky." Zhao Yong maintained his only dignity.

"Thank you, Lord Guo, for your understanding, then please carry out the bodies of the eldest lady and the boy so that I can conduct a routine inspection."

Hearing this, Zhao Yong waved his hands and said: "Come here, go and carry out the bodies of the eldest lady and that bastard boy."

Hearing this, the butler wiped the sweat from his forehead and led the people away in a hurry.

Soon, the corpse was carried to the banquet. Jiang Jingqiao glanced at it casually, and suddenly felt something strange. Although it was Zhao Ziyou's appearance, his whole figure didn't quite look like Zhao Ziyou.

Jiang Jingqiao's heart tightened, and she walked to the side of Zhao Ziyou's corpse, and brushed Zhao Ziyou's hand away with a fan. Seeing that there was no red mole on the back of her hand, she couldn't help being startled. He looked at Zhao Yong with sharp eyes.

"My lord, what is the crime of deceiving the prince, my lord should be clear about it?"

Zhao Yong hurriedly said: "What does His Highness King Jing mean by this?"

"This is not Zhao Ziyou!" Jiang Jingqiao looked at Zhao Yong and spit it out word by word.
