Murong Ci asked several questions one after another. They either shook their heads or said that Madam and Second Miss were as usual and nothing unusual happened.
Yuwen Zhan Tianhan sternly said: "You dare to deceive and give perjury, once found out, I will never forgive you lightly"
This deterrence made several servants frightened, and they all said that what they said was absolutely true, and they dared not lie.
Taiwei Baili also said that there is no difference between wives and children.
Murong Ci thought for a while, and said: "Master Taiwei, forgive me for asking an offensive question, have Madam and Second Miss offended anyone or the Taiwei's House has offended any enemy, and the enemy came to take revenge and kill Madam and Second Miss kill"
Yuwen Zhantian echoed: "Captain Baili, the murder of Mrs. Baili and Miss Er is too strange, her speculation is not impossible."
Taiwei Baili was in a gloomy and sad mood. Hearing these words, his eyes became even sharper, and his shrewd face was full of hatred, "Your Highness, the old minister has been in the officialdom for twenty or thirty years. It is inevitable that there will be political opponents with different political opinions. If these Political enemies count as enemies, and the old official has quite a few enemies."
Everyone in the capital knows that His Majesty has relied heavily on the Baili Taiwei in recent years, and his Majesty dotes on Baili Concubine Hui, so the Taiwei's mansion is even more beautiful and honored. The so-called big tree attracts wind, there are not a few political enemies who are jealous and eager to pull Baili's family down.
Murong Ci also knew that it might be very difficult to investigate from this aspect.
"Master Taiwei misunderstood what I meant. The enemy I mentioned has nothing to do with officialdom, but a personal enmity."
"In order to catch the murderer as soon as possible, I hope Captain Baili will think about it carefully." Yuwen Zhantian chimed in.
Captain Baili thought about it seriously, "I don't have any personal enmity, the old minister's rule is very strict, the descendants of the old minister and the servants in the mansion will never make trouble outside and make enemies with others."
Yuwen Zhantian sneered in his heart, it was because Taiwei Baili used his power and money to suppress those nasty things that were detrimental to morality, and no one exposed them.
Murong Ci was also heartbroken, asked a few more questions, and then proposed to visit the bedroom of the wife and the second lady.
Taiwei Baili assigned a housekeeper to take them there, Yuwen Zhantian stayed with her all the time, she came out after looking around, and then said goodbye and left the Taiwei's mansion.
Shaoqian rushed over and saw that His Royal Highness was about to leave, he felt guilty and dared not speak out.
In fact, he was going to come to Taiwei's mansion a long time ago, but something happened in the mansion, so he hurried back to deal with the matter before rushing over.
On the carriage, Yuwen Zhantian asked anxiously: "A Ci, did you find anything?"
She shook her head, indicating that she hadn't noticed.
"Where do you want to start"
"I don't have a clue for now."
"It's okay, let's discuss the details together tonight. Go back to the Prince's Mansion first."
"Your Highness Your Highness Your Highness"
A high-pitched shout came from behind the carriage.
Yuwen Zhantian ordered the driver to stop and ask who was calling.
Not long after, a person stood in front of the carriage and reported: "His Royal Highness, the slave is from the Taiwei Mansion, my master please turn back."
Yuwen Zhantian looked at her in surprise, and asked, "But what happened?"
The servant mourned, "My eldest son is dead."
Murongci and Yuwen Zhantian looked at each other at the same time, a little shocked, why did Baili's family have accidents one after another
They turned back immediately, and soon came to the hall. There was a dead body in the middle of the hall, covered with a white cloth. Taiwei Baili sat on a carved chair, slumped in grief, with tears in his eyes, he didn't speak a word, and looked a little dull.
Yuwen Zhantian's face was heavy, "Master Taiwei, please express my condolences."
Murong Ci asked the housekeeper: "Go invite the doctor and Wu to be a co-worker? How can the prince Baili?"
As far as she knew, Baili Taiwei's eldest son, Baili Jing, was the son of Mrs. Baili. He was thirty years old and the deputy governor of the Beijing Defense Department. He was young and promising, and he was the most outstanding son of Baili Taiwei.
The butler said sadly: "Just now I sent someone to invite you. As soon as the Young Master and His Highness left, someone sent back the Eldest Young Master's body. Those people are from the Defense Department of the capital city. They have followed the Eldest Young Master for many years. They said they saw the Eldest Young Master Feeling depressed because of family affairs, I accompany the eldest son to drink to relieve boredom. The eldest son usually likes to drink, and every time he drinks, he will always get drunk. Today they started drinking from noon. The eldest son lost his mother and kept drinking. No one persuaded him It was useless. About an hour later, the eldest son suddenly fell to the ground and left after a while."
She nodded, "Can I see the dead son's body?"
He naturally agreed, the master invited them back to see if the eldest son's sudden death was suspicious.
Murong Ci lifted the white cloth, the face of the deceased Baili Jing was quite peaceful, there was foam at the corner of the mouth, blood in front of the nose and in the ear. A pungent smell of alcohol rushed up, overwhelming her.
Bai Lijing did drink a lot.
Not long after, the government doctor and Wu Zuo arrived in a hurry and immediately examined the body.
Yuwen Zhantian asked her in a low voice: "Is there anything suspicious?"
She said softly, "Listen to what they say first."
Taiwei Baili walked over with heavy steps, and asked sadly, "How did my son die? Did someone kill him?"
"Reporting to Mr. Taiwei, the young master has no wounds all over his body, the smell of alcohol is strong, there is white foam at the corner of the mouth, and there is bleeding from the ears, nose, and mouth. The villain can conclude that the young master died suddenly after drinking too much, it was a sudden death." What a shame.
"master
, the villain's opinion is the same as that of Wu Zuo. " said the doctor.
"There is really nothing suspicious." Captain Baili's pupils contracted coldly.
"There is absolutely nothing suspicious." Wu Zuo said firmly.
After the housekeeper sent them out, Yuwen Zhantian sighed and said, "It's really a pity that Baili Jing died young. Wu Zuo and the government doctor have checked, and there should be nothing suspicious about your son's death."
Captain Baili suddenly asked Murong Ci who was squatting next to the corpse: "Do you think there is anything suspicious?"
Murong Ci asked nonchalantly, "Does your son's robes smell like incense?"
Captain Baili was stunned, and then said: "Jing'er loves cleanliness since she was a child, and when she grows up, her clothes and robes should be incensed."
She nodded, no wonder there was a faint fragrance in the strong alcohol smell of the corpse, "Master Taiwei, from a preliminary point of view, the death of your son should be sudden and not suspicious."
"I don't know if it's the misfortune of my family, bad luck, or someone is going to put my Baili family to death, but I will definitely not let it go." His voice was very harsh, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
"Lieutenant Baili, let's do things first," Yuwen Zhantian said.
"Your Highness, the old minister will not be far away."
"Captain Baili, I will take my leave."
Yuwen Zhantian and Murong resigned from the gate of the Taiwei Mansion, boarded the carriage and left.
Seeing her thinking, he asked, "A Ci, what are you thinking?"
She pondered: "Although Baili Jing died suddenly after drinking too much alcohol, I always felt that it was too coincidental that Mrs. Baili and Baili Xiangrui died just a few days before he died suddenly. However, I didn't find out Baili Jing's sudden death is suspicious."
His handsome eyes shone with a blue light, mysterious and seductive, "If it is the same murderer's plan to let Bai Lijing drink too much and die suddenly, it will be terrible. This method of killing people is too clever."
Murong Ci nodded, "I don't have a clue for the time being, I will go back and discuss the case."
The carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion, and as soon as they entered the mansion, they heard Princess Fengyao's arrogant and angry voice: "Where is the emperor, this palace wants to settle accounts with the emperor?"
The manager was so wronged that he wanted to cry, "Princess, this old slave really doesn't know where His Highness has gone, how dare this old slave ask about His Highness's whereabouts?"
Seeing His Highness coming back, he seemed to have seen a savior, and rushed over and said, "Your Highness, you are finally back."
Seeing Yuwen Zhantian, Yu Wenyao yelled angrily, "Brother Huang, how could you treat my sister like this?"
Murong Ci guessed a little bit. When she and Murong Yu set off to leave West Qin Kingdom, Princess Fengyao did not rush to follow them to Yan Kingdom. Presumably Princess Fengyao was under house arrest in the palace by Yuwen Zhantian, that's why Princess Fengyao was so angry.
"I don't do this, the one who put you under house arrest is the father." Yuwen Zhantian was so angry that the sky was full of haze, and the anger became a rage, "You'd better stay in the palace obediently. If you dare to leave the capital, I will punish you severely." "
"You don't care about my affairs." Yu Wenyao roared not to be outdone, her voice shot out like a cannonball, "I just want to go to the West Qin Kingdom, I just want to find Murong Yu, and I just want to be his princess"
"He won't like you because he already has a girl he likes"
"So what? I believe that my distinguished status and unparalleled talent and appearance will definitely impress Murong Yu."
Listening to their arguing and yelling, Murong Ci had the same stubborn temper.
She helped to persuade: "Princess, as far as I know, Yu Wang does have a girl he likes, and he has a deep affection for that girl, and will not empathize with others."
Only then did Yu Wenyao notice that there was a young man wearing a mask in the Prince's Mansion. She was taken aback for a moment, and then retorted: "How do you know that you don't know Murong Yu, and how do you know that he won't like Ben Gong? It is very common to have four wives and concubines, as long as I am a concubine or first wife, I am not worried about how many side concubines and concubines he likes."
Murong Ci knew that it was useless to talk too much, she would only realize how ridiculous she was until she was hit hard.
Yuwen Zhantian ordered sharply: "There must be no mistakes in escorting the princess back to the palace."
Several guards stepped forward and dragged Yu Wenyao away.
"Let go of my imperial brother, I must go to him and ask for my imperial brother"
She screamed terribly, her voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
His handsome face covered with frost and snow finally returned to the earth, with a hint of warmth, "A Ci, let's go."
Walking to the main courtyard where he lived, Murong Ci blinked blankly, and said softly: "I'm a little tired, I want to take a rest."
My physical strength has not fully recovered. I went to several places today and I am really tired.
Yuwen Zhantian's eyebrows were full of apology, "It's my fault, I ignored your body. I have already ordered the servants to prepare the wing room, and I will take you there."
The wing room prepared for her was in the main courtyard where he lived. She looked around the spacious wing room, and there were two maidservants standing at the door.
"A Ci, do you still like it? If you need anything, just tell them." He smiled.
"Very good, the Palace is resting."
"Well, we'll talk about the case after dinner."
He ordered the two maidservants to leave and went to the study.
The two maidservants said in unison: "Your Master, what are your orders?"
Murong Ci said coldly: "I want to rest for a while, you guys should wait outside."
