Si Yiluo rushed to the imperial prison in a hurry, and Gong Xichun's eyes were red, and his face looked like an evil ghost from hell.
"The prince's soul is here to seduce people! Haha, those who harmed the prince will not end well!"
"There will be no good end for you all!"
"Zhou Rong, Zhou Chang, Zhou Chen... they all want to rebel, and I am just under their instructions! I want to see if Emperor Yao will kill his own son! Hahaha..."
"What's going on?" Gong Xichun's state seemed wrong. Si Yiluo asked Miao Cong, "Are you tortured again?"
"No, I just followed your lord's instructions and brought Gong Xichun's wife and children to him, and then he did this."
"Did you say anything?"
Miao Cong shook his head and said, "No, I just stood outside the cell and took a look."
Just glanced at it, glanced at it...that's not right!
"When a wife and children see their husband being tortured, they will not just look at it no matter what!" A third voice came from behind, Si Yiluo turned around, and Wei Heyan walked with a breath, "There is something wrong with Gong Xichun's wife and children, check it out!"
"The Governor."
The man on the torture rack looked crazy, and others did not dare to approach him. Wei Heyan said in a deep voice: "He looks like he has been poisoned. Are you sure no one has touched him?"
Miao Cong was silent for a moment and then said: "Gong Xichun's wife Shang couldn't bear his suffering, so she asked me to give him a sachet. I checked that there was nothing wrong with it, and then I brought it in and gave it to him."
"Where's the sachet?"
Miao Cong turned around and ordered several strong men to come forward and hold Gong Xichun down. He took out a sachet stained with blood from his hand. The original bean green color of the sachet could still be seen. Miao Cong found out from the spices inside
A clay ball.
Wei Heyan took it and looked under the lamp. There was a small hole in the clay ball.
"Poison..."
"Shang has a problem, please come and bring Gong Xichun's wife and children!"
Wei Heyan stepped forward to look at Gong Xichun's palm, rinsed it three times with water, and then saw a red spot on his palm. He started to tear open his clothes, and saw that the skin on his heart was beating up and down, and a dark thing was hidden in it.
under the skin.
"Heart-eating Gu!"
Feed on blood, feed on heart.
"My heart and lungs are broken. I'm afraid Gongxi Chun won't survive tonight."
Something went wrong in the imperial prison, and Si Yiluo might not be able to escape punishment. If he could pry Shang's mouth open... the subordinates guarding Shang ran over in a panic.
"Sir, Lord Governor, Shang is dead!"
Si Yiluo's breathing was stagnant.
"Where is Gong Xiyun?"
"Gong Xiyun is still alive..."
"Bring him up!"
The subordinates brought the people up. Wei Heyan and Si Yiluo turned around at the same time, only to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, glaring at them with an angry expression.
"You killed my parents, I will definitely kill you to avenge my parents!"
Si Yiluo turned a deaf ear to the boy's threats. She was thinking about another thing.
"How did Shang die?"
I searched her body before entering the cell. The poison sachet on her body could not be found, but other things should be found. She would not choose such a painful way to commit suicide.
"My lord, Shang died from the poison of Hedinghong."
Hedinghong...that means there is someone in the prison to help, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bring him in.
"Has anyone come into contact with the Shang family?"
Miao Cong realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Your Majesty, go check it out immediately!"
Si Yiluo looked at Gong Xiyun with a vicious expression on his face and turned his eyes elsewhere.
"Master Si, have you noticed that Young Master Gongxi doesn't seem very similar to Gongxi Chun?"
Wei Heyan stepped forward and pinched the young man's chin to examine it, then looked at the person on the shelf and murmured, "I was born tall and strong, but my son looks like a pretty boy. His body, facial features and skin are nothing like Gong Xi Chun."
Si Yiluo had met Mr. Shang and his eyes fell on the young man's face. Gong Xiyun looked very similar to Mr. Shang.
"This doesn't mean anything." But Si Yiluo also paid attention to it and ordered his subordinates, "Go and get Gong Xichun's information, Shang's identity and background, and the people he interacts with daily. I want to see the detailed information before dawn.
"
"Let me go!"
The young man spat on Wei Heyan. Wei Heyan wiped it with a handkerchief and ordered in a cold voice: "Pull out two of his teeth!"
Gong Xiyun opened his mouth to curse.
"If I hadn't kept you talking, would you believe that I would have pulled out your tongue?"
"Kill me if you can!"
Gong Xiyun showed no fear on his face, Wei Heyan sneered: "My temper is a bit like yours..."
Compared with Wei Heyan, the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was like a weakling. He was no match for him. He was angered after just a few words.
Si Yiluo said: "Master Governor, business matters are important right now, why bother arguing with children!"
Wei Heyan waved his hand, and his subordinates took him away. His eyes looked back and forth at Si Yiluo, leaving Si Yiluo confused.
"Gong Xiyun looks good."
Si Yiluo snorted, and Wei Heyan saw that she still didn't understand, so he explained, "Let's make a bet. In all the information you can find, you can't find anything suspicious at all."
"Gongxichun intercepted and killed the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty. The Shang family killed Gongxichun and then committed suicide. Only Gongxiyun was left to us. We bet that there is definitely a story about Gongxiyun."
Si Yiluo came back to his senses and asked, "What does it have to do with Gong Xiyun's appearance?"
"Sir!" Miao Cong approached with a stern face, "Two of the brothers who were guarding Shang's mother and son died. One committed suicide and the other committed suicide. The clue is broken."
"Sir, all the information about Gong Xichun has been found!"
The two pieces of news came at the same time. Si Yiluo was silent and took Gong Xichun's information. She had actually read the information a long time ago. When she turned to the Shang family page, there were not many records, not even a name, only
A surname may also be fake.
Gongxi Chun's level is not enough for Jin Yiwei to monitor him on a daily basis.
"After Shang entered the family, she gave birth to a son the following year, named Gong Xiyun. Shang didn't like socializing with others, so... no one knew her true identity..."
Si Yiluo closed the document and asked Wei Heyan: "Is there anything the governor can do?"
Wei Heyan's eyes were deep.
"Master Si, you might as well hide your beauty in a golden house. If you can't find anything, you can only wait."
Si Yiluo gritted his teeth and said: "Why me? The governor can also hide it in the golden house!"
"Master Si has a reputation for being romantic, which makes it more credible. The people behind Gong Xi Chun are more likely to reveal their lies. If the governor takes the person back, a discerning person will know it is a trap at a glance. Don't worry, Master Si, I will help you when your Majesty is there.
If you intercede, Mr. Si will devote himself to his official duties."
"Besides, Gong Xiqiu is also pretty, so Mr. Si won't suffer any loss."
Si Yiluo chuckled twice, without commenting.
Wei Heyan looked at her back and asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Si?"
Even if Gong Xichun's poison was cured, he would still be a delirious invalid. Since she couldn't find any more useful information, it would be useless for her to stay in prison every day.
"Go back to sleep!"
If she endures it any longer, her hair will not be saved!
Thinking of Wei Heyan's brocade-like long hair, Si Yiluo touched the top of his head. His hair was still black and shiny after staying up late every day. It was really annoying!
Wei Heyan wanted to laugh for no reason.
Some of her little moves are not shy and people seem to be able to guess what she is thinking through her movements.
Si Yiluo concentrated on investigating the case, and the task of going up to Tianting fell on Wei Heyan. The envoy of the Northern Liao Dynasty was assassinated, and the relationship behind the scenes has not yet been clearly investigated, but for the sake of the court's face, Emperor Yao must appease the envoy.
.
It was June, and by July, Mr. Boge was not in the mood to celebrate his birthday because of the commotion over the fireworks workshop case, so he just threw a hasty family banquet.
The banquet to welcome the Northern Liao envoys was held very grandly.
