789 Enigma
Liu Yichen pursed his lips and said, “My lord, you don’t have to shout it. People who didn’t know better would assume it’s a sign of guilt.”
Hearing Liu Yichen’s words, Yuwen Feiye almost vomited blood.
If Liu Yichen were not the richest man in the country, he would have killed him more than a thousand times.
However, Yuwen Feiye felt that Qingfeng city was indeed the crown prince’s territory, and there was bad luck everywhere.
He made up his mind to return to the capital as soon as possible after this matter was over. If he stayed any longer, he would probably die of anger.
Chen Yuanguan held the gavel and said with a serious face, ” we are in court. Silence!”
A moment later, the constable came back and reported, ” my Lord, Zhao Li from Ji Shi Tang has disappeared!”
Chen Yuanguan was shocked and asked in confusion, ” what happened? ”
The constable reported, ” when I went to Ji Shi Tang to look for Zhao Li, those workers said that Zhao Li had not been to ji shi Tang for the entire day. I went to his house to look for him, but his 80-year-old mother said that Zhao Li had gone out early in the morning and had not returned since. This subordinate has sent people to expand the search area to the places that Zhao Li often goes to, but we have not seen him!”
Chen Yuanguan pondered for a while and said, ” it seems that Zhao Li has either escaped or been killed to silence him!” Then, he asked loudly, ” where’s song Qingyan’s maid? ”
“Song Qingyan’s maidservant was detained by us when she was about to leave the city gate!” the constable said.
Chen Yuanguan was relieved to hear that. “bring song Qingyan’s maid here!”
When song Qingyan’s maidservant was brought in, her face was pale, and she was trembling in fear.
Chen Yuanguan slammed the gavel on the table and asked sternly, ” song Qiuyu, how did your young lady die? tell me the truth!” Back then, he had been misled by this little girl, which was why he had gone to Lin’s medicine Hall to arrest someone.
When song Qiuyu heard the sound of the gavel, she was like a frightened cat, hugging into a ball and unable to speak.
Chen Yuanguan said sternly again, ” song Qiuyu, tell me the truth, or you will be the culprit who murdered your miss!”
“My Lord, I’ve been wronged!” Song Qiuyu immediately cried out in grievance.
“Since you say that you’re innocent, then tell me the truth!” Chen yuanguan said sternly.
Song Qiuyu was at a loss.
She was just a nobody, a maidservant in a brothel. She thought that by following her young lady, she could become a Phoenix one day. Who would have thought that this dream would be shattered the next day?
Her young miss had died without even knowing why.
She was afraid that those people would suspect her of being the murderer, so she immediately told them that song Qingyan was already the third Prince’s woman. Then, in the past two days, song Qingyan went to the Lin medicine Hall to see a doctor because she was not feeling well. After he prescribed a prescription, her young miss died.
Song Qiuyu trembled as she said, ” my family’s little Miss… died from poisoning!”
Chen Yuanguan said, ” since you know that your lady died from poisoning, why did you tell me that song Qingyan died after taking the medicine from Lin’s medicine hall? ”
Song Qiuyu raised her head and looked around. When she met Yuwen feiye’s eyes, her eyes were a little confused and confused.
She didn’t know Yuwen Feiye. Song Qingyan had always sent her away when she met up with Yuwen Feiye, so she had only seen a blurry figure.
Seeing that song Qiuyu was in a daze, Chen Yuanguan hit the gavel again and asked sternly, ” song Qiuyu, explain quickly. Do you want to be tortured? ”
Song Qiuyu immediately woke up and said, ” Sir, I will tell you now. It was young miss who told me to say that she died from the prescription before she died.”
The answer song Qiuyu gave shocked everyone.
Chen Yuanguan said in surprise, ” song Qiuyu, you said that your young lady told you to do this? ”
“Yes, my Lord!” Song Qiuyu said in fear.
Immediately, Chen Yuanguan said in disbelief, ” what kind of enmity does your lady have with Lin’s medicine shop? Why would she risk her life just to frame the Lin medicine shop? ”
“Your Excellency, this servant doesn’t know!” Song Qiuyu felt that she had been wronged.
Chen Yuanguan felt that there was an important inside story behind song Qingyan’s death.
He asked again, ” song Qiuyu, think again, before your young miss died from the poison, what unusual actions did she have? ”
Song Qiuyu shook her head at first, but after a moment, she immediately thought of something and said, ” Sir, I remember. Before my young miss died from the poison, she went to the Zeng family a few times!
Chen Yuanguan frowned and asked, ” Zeng family? which Zeng family? ”
“The Zeng family of the Zeng Ji medicine shop!” Song Qiuyu said.
