"What happened next?" Xiao Lingyue suppressed her emotions and asked, "Since it was a deadly poison, how was Han Han saved?"
Zhan Beihan said calmly: "By chance, I got a prescription and cured the poison."
The person who took out the prescription was Xie Yurui, who was just a sin slave at that time. With this merit, Emperor Zhaoming pardoned her crime, and later she changed her name and entered Prince Yi's Mansion.
This was just a trivial matter in Zhan Beihan's eyes, so he didn't say much.
Xiao Lingyue didn't think much, frowned and asked, "Who is the poisoner?"
Zhan Beihan said: "I don't know."
Xiao Lingyue was startled: "Didn't you pursue the investigation further?"
Zhan Beihan gave her a cold look: "Of course I checked, but there was no result. Finally, it was found that there was something wrong with a manager in the imperial kitchen. But when the imperial army went to arrest him, the guy was already hanging from the beam."
Xiao Lingyue's eyes darkened: "Are you sure he was hanged? Wasn't he killed and silenced?"
Zhan Beihan said: "The widow of the Ministry of Punishment has done an autopsy and it is true that he hanged himself."
Xiao Lingyue thought for a while and said: "Even if this is the case, the suspicion of murder and silence cannot be ruled out. As long as there is enough evidence, it is not difficult to force a person to commit suicide."
Zhan Beihan looked at her, narrowed his narrow eyes, and suddenly asked: "Dead people can't talk. If it were you, how would you investigate this situation?"
Xiao Lingyue thought carefully and said: "I will first send people to search the house of the manager to see if there are any missing clues, then check all the people around him who have had contact with him, and then investigate his life background.
The experience of entering the palace, and various actions in recent months."
The imperial dining room is an independent palace institution, different from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Under normal circumstances, few outsiders come in.
The steward in charge of meals may not necessarily be a eunuch, but may also be a chef recruited from outside the palace. Their daily activities are in the imperial kitchen, and they cannot go out easily. They can only leave the palace on one fixed day every month.
In this case, it is not difficult to investigate, and there will be some clues.
"This is how I checked back then."
Zhan Beihan said coldly: "Moreover, it's not just the people under me. This matter involves the safety of my father. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Imperial Supervisory Department jointly investigated to ensure that nothing was missed, but in the end there was no
Discover any valuable clues."
"How is that possible?" Xiao Lingyue said in disbelief.
In the Northern Qin Dynasty, the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple were all professionally responsible for reviewing cases.
The Supervision Department has a more special status. In addition to investigating cases, it is also responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, which overlaps with the duties of the Yushitai. Among them, the Supervisory Department is the core department. Generally, important cases that occur in the palace will be handled by the Supervisory Department.
Once these three departments are united, plus the people under Zhan Beihan, they will already be at the top of the league in Northern Qin.
Still can't find any clues?
"To be precise, it's not that no clues were found, it's just that it was a step too late every time."
Zhan Beihan said: "The residence of the steward who committed suicide out of fear of crime was very clean, all personal belongings were missing, leaving no traces, and the palace officials who had contact with him were all ruled out as suspects.
As for his family outside the palace.
When the Supervision Department sent people to arrive, the house manager's house was already in flames.
More than a dozen members of the whole family were all killed without any sign of resistance. They were all killed with one blow, and were finally destroyed by fire. It was very clean and tidy!"
Xiao Lingyue frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
Hanhan was poisoned when he was more than one year old.
It was almost three and a half years ago. At that time, she was still busy studying Beibei's condition and did not return to Beijing.
I haven't heard any rumors about this case.
"So, the clues were completely cut off at this point, and you couldn't investigate any further, so you blocked the information. The mastermind behind the poisoning has not been found yet?" Xiao Lingyue asked with a frown. Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
