Chapter 143 The Great Palace Case: The Death of Concubine Hui
Concubine Li Hui is dead.
Early the next morning, the news swept across the entire palace like a strong wind, attracting the attention of countless people.
Some are happy, some are frightened, and some are indifferent.
Even though she is like a treasure in the hearts of some people, in the eyes of more people, she is just a passerby, and may even be a stumbling block.
When Yang Fan got the news, he couldn't help but froze in place.
What Concubine Chen said is true! .??.
There was a strong shock in his heart.
"Concubine Hui..."
Concubine Chen sat in front of the dressing table, sighed softly, and took out the palm-sized box from her sleeve. It was a machine box, completely black, with faint red blood stains on it.
Blood source lock!
Only members of the direct lineage of the Li family can open this box. Once anyone else tries to open it forcefully, the box will self-destruct.
"Your Majesty, how did Concubine Hui die? Could it be that she was really Queen Wang..."
Yang Fan stood behind Concubine Chen and asked in a low voice.
Concubine Chen shook her head and said calmly: "I don't know, and I don't want to know. I have taken a lot of risks by agreeing to send her this box. As for why she died, time will tell us
The answer is, let everything take its course."
However, the fluctuation in her eyes reminded Yang Fan that she was not as calm as she appeared.
Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Madam, if something like this happens, there must be some news in the East Factory. Why don't I go over and take a look?"
Concubine Chen was silent for a moment and waved her hand: "You can go if you want."
"yes."
Yang Fan bowed slightly, excused himself, and rushed to Dongchang.
Dongchang.
here at this moment The atmosphere seemed extremely solemn. Two of the three criminal officers arrived, namely Cao Qingyuan and Zheng Weinian. Below them sat a row of deacons, all with straight backs and solemn expressions.
Cao Qingyuan was sitting in the main seat. Although he looked quite young, his sharp and murderous aura made the whole hall feel so dull that it was almost impossible to breathe.
Zheng Weinian, on the other hand, closed his eyes, leaned on the back of his chair, and said nothing.
"That's it. Do you have any thoughts?" Cao Qingyuan said expressionlessly, his eyes like knives across the faces of the deacons present.
The deacons present were all awestruck and did not dare to say a word.
"Since you don't say anything, our family will make arrangements directly."
Cao Qingyuan didn't bother to wait for them to speak, and directly started to give orders, "First, Tianqing Palace has been sealed off. Even if you turn it over completely, you have to find out the cause of Li Huifei's death; second, investigate the recent period.
At this time, the people Li Huifei comes into contact with will be strictly investigated; third, Mobei Border City will be summoned, and we will always be prepared to control General Li Kangxiong and the Li family."
The first two points were easy to explain, but the third point made people startled. This clearly showed that they were worried that Li Kangxiong would cause some trouble.
"The Li family can be considered the victim. Isn't this third clause a bit too much?"
Zheng Weinian finally opened his eyes and said calmly.
Cao Qingyuan smiled: "Li Kangxiong, a border general, has always been as hot-tempered as fire, impulsive and irritable, and even half of his feet have already stepped into the sky. If someone provokes him and something happens, it will not be beautiful.
.Our family is just taking precautions before things happen. Does Judge Zheng have any other opinions?"
"..."
Zheng Weinian did not
Didn't he argue? He just glanced at Cao Qingyuan coldly and said, "Since the governor has handed over this matter to Judge Cao, it is natural that Judge Cao will take charge of everything. But our family has other things to be busy with, so I won't accompany you."
Already."
After that, he stood up and left.
Cao Qingyuan looked at his back, a cold look flashed in his eyes, but he didn't care about the other person's attitude at all, and turned to look at everyone: "Split up!"
"yes."
All the deacons immediately stood up and quickly began to take action.
However, Cao Qingyuan sat in his seat and did not move, thinking about things with an expressionless face. In his opinion, Li Huifei's case might not be so easy to solve this time.
"This palace is getting more and more interesting!"
After a long time, he stood up, swung his cloak behind him, and strode out of the main hall.
At this time, Yang Fan also rushed to Dongchang. Although Zheng Weinian said that he would not accompany him, Tao Ying and others under him were temporarily recruited.
"Xiao Fanzi, you are here. Get ready quickly. We are going out with Deacon Tao."
When Sun Rong saw Yang Fan, his nervous mood relaxed a little.
Yang Fan nodded and asked, "Is it about Concubine Li Hui?"
Sun Rong said: "Yes, it is said that the governor personally ordered that the matter be handed over to Officer Cao personally, and everyone else in the East Factory must fully cooperate."
While he was talking, Tao Ying also walked out. There was no expression on his face. He glanced at Yang Fan, who had just arrived, and didn't say anything. He just said hello.
"Now that you're here, let's go with our family."
The three of them went to Tianqing Palace, where Concubine Li Hui lived.
At this time, Tianqing Palace had already been completely sealed off and was under martial law. Due to the special status of the deceased, the standards of the operation were extremely high. There were six deacons dispatched, one under each of the three criminal officials from Dongchang, and those under Zheng Weinian were Tao Ying and a deacon named Meng.
Tao Ying took Yang Fan and Sun Rong into Tianqing Palace. Yang Fan looked at the familiar scene. He had just been here yesterday morning. It was just one night before such a big thing happened.
Especially when he thought of what Concubine Li Hui said and Concubine Chen's attitude, it was naturally difficult for Yang Fan to calm down.
A concubine will die whenever she wants, so what does he mean?
Especially since he once ruined Queen Wang's plan, there is no telling when he will be remembered by the other party, and then it will be really dangerous.
"Has an autopsy been performed?"
Tao Ying walked to the palace and saw Deacon Meng had arrived, so she asked.
Deacon Meng was an ordinary-looking person with a straight face, and his expression was almost exactly the same as Tao Ying's. He said: "It involves the royal family. The clan's mansion specially sent two female widows to do the inspection. They are inside to examine the body."
."
"Have you checked the appearance?"
Tao Ying asked again.
Deacon Meng said: "There are no injuries on the body surface. However, our family secretly checked his qi and blood. It seems that he experienced some changes before his death. His qi and blood were less than 10% of what he should have been."
"Less than 10%? Could it be that there was an accident when the Qi and blood were running?"
Tao Ying raised an eyebrow.
Deacon Meng hesitated a little. Seeing no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't look like it. Instead, it feels like a woman has experienced a miscarriage."
"Miscarriage?"
Tao Ying's pupils shrank suddenly.
A series of conjectures instantly came to mind. Could it be that someone noticed that Li Huifei was pregnant and was worried that she would give birth to a prince or a princess, so he had murderous intentions?
