Chapter 873

Hearing the news that King Cheng was poisoned, Emperor Jiahe vomited blood on the spot and fainted.

The first thing he did after waking up was that the commander of Xuan royal guards, Xiang Yun, ordered him to thoroughly investigate the case of King Cheng.

Xiang Yun led his subordinates to chengwangfu overnight.

It's a matter of great importance. Except for the fact that the bodies of the three King Cheng were moved to the icehouse, all the utensils in Li Huarong's room and his wife's new house, as well as the tea and food on the table, were all intact. All the servants knelt down in the front yard waiting for interrogation.

He first reported the results of the autopsy: "my lord Hui, all the three of his royal highness are arsenic. Cheng Wang's side, in the two wine cups were found poison, there is no problem in the pot. On the princess's side, the wine is poisonous and a package of arsenic has been found. "

Xiang Yun looked dignified, and immediately sent someone to interrogate all the servants in Li Huarong's courtyard, from the big servant girl beside her to the gatekeeper, and then sent another person to interrogate other servants of the palace to see if someone had bought arsenic recently, and directly asked someone to bring up the torture device, and each side selected one to make an example.

When his son died, Jia and di hated him so much that he couldn't get up. If he didn't get a result tonight, he would not die tomorrow.

Soon someone made a confession. It was Zhang Lang Zhong of Cheng Wang's mansion. He said that a servant girl from a storehouse in the imperial concubine's yard went to him and asked for a small bag of arsenic, which he said was kept in the storehouse to expel insects.

Xiang Yun orders a person to mention Zhang Lang Zhong alone with that storehouse servant girl in a room.

"She asked you for arsenic. Have you ever reported it to the Lord?"

Dr. Zhang knelt down on the ground and shivered at the thought of the three men who had just been unable to endure the torture. He told the truth: "arsenic is very poisonous. I said that I should ask the Lord first. She knelt down in tears and said that the person she liked since childhood was going to marry someone else. She wanted to poison the man. I refused to agree. She took off her clothes..."

Xiang Yun looked at the maid who was dressed in fine cloth: "raise your head."

The little maid raised her head, her eyebrows were really pretty, and she cried pitifully.

Xiang Yun pointed to the torture device nearby: "you tell me the truth now, I can avoid you a flesh and skin pain."

The little servant girl was so frightened that she began to cry: "no, I'm an orphan. I served the princess before she got married. There was no one I like. On that day, the princess went to the storehouse to see things and sent everyone out. She ordered me to go to Doctor Zhang to ask for arsenic. She also asked me to ask for arsenic secretly by any means. Otherwise, she would sell me to the kiln. I really have no way to lie to Dr. Zhang... "

"Pull it out for a physical examination." Xiang Yun has no feelings.

After two cups of tea, his subordinates came back and said, "my Lord, that servant girl is really not a virgin."

Xiang Yun nodded and asked to be executed. When they had the last breath, they still didn't retract their confessions. This made people pull down and save them to bring them back when Emperor Jiahe wanted to judge people in person.

It's time to find out why Princess Cheng poisoned her and how she did it.

As the commander of the royal guards, Xiang Yun is familiar with the temperament of the noble families in the capital city. Li Huarong's wife is most famous for her jealousy. When she found her body, Li Huarong was dressed like that again. As long as it was confirmed that Li Huarong was responsible for the poison, it would prove that Li Huarong had a hatred for love and would rather kill King Cheng than serve with others.

An hour later, Xiang Yun rushed into the palace.

Emperor Jiahe was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, and he was waiting on him carefully. The brothers of King Kang, Xu Jin and Xu Yao, were standing on the side to perform filial piety.
