Jiang Qingrong stood in front of the tombstone with a sad face:
"Brother, today is the anniversary of your death. Rong'er and I came to see you. Now that Rong'er has married a man of your dreams, everything is going well. You and your sister-in-law can feel at ease even if you are facing death."
As he spoke, he pretended to casually pick up the bundle of incense he had brought, took out three sticks, lit them, bowed, and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the tombstone.
Watching the burning smoke gradually disperse...
Jiang Qingrong unconsciously held her breath and took two short breaths. Although a trace amount was fine, he was still very afraid.
If he wasn't afraid that it would be traced to himself, he would have taken the antidote in advance.
Jiang Qingrong handed Jiang Rong three sticks of incense and said, "Rong'er, go talk to your parents."
Jiang Rong pretended not to know anything about it, took it, lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner, telling his parents what happened this year.
Every time he came to pay homage to his parents, Jiang Rong would talk to them for a long time.
At least half an hour.
Seeing that everything was as before, Jiang Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief. Next, we just need to wait for Jiang Rong to be poisoned...
He pretended to rummage through the pile of sacrifices, pretending to be surprised:
"Oh, why didn't you see the memorial letter I wrote to my eldest brother? I must have been in a hurry and forgot it at home. No, no, I have to go back and get it..."
As he said that, he looked at Jiang Rong and said, "Rong'er, please chat with your brother and sister-in-law here first. I wrote a memorial to my brother yesterday. I will go home to get it now."
Jiang Rong looked cooperative, "Uncle, let's go slowly. Xiao Nanxing, send uncle off."
Xiao Nanxing immediately came over to help Jiang Qingrong and took the opportunity to quietly give him an injection.
"Ah!" Jiang Qingrong screamed.
He rolled his eyes and fell forward.
"Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Rong asked with concern.
Xiao Nanxing immediately checked his pulse and said, "Master Jiang seems to be suffering from excessive grief and suddenly fainted! Concubine, I will go back and prepare the medicine for Master Jiang right now!"
When the Jiang family guards saw Jiang Qingrong collapsed, they all gathered around him.
Xiao Nanxing shouted, "Spread out and don't touch him! For patients who suddenly faint, do not move them at will and keep them ventilated, otherwise they may aggravate the condition."
The guards did not dare to take the blame for making the master seriously ill, so they quickly stopped.
Xiao Nanxing hurried back to Beijing to prepare the medicine.
Jiang Rong and others were guarding near the tombstone.
The range of Changmian's strange poison is about one foot. As long as you don't stand in the wind, you won't be poisoned.
"Prince Princess, I'm going to ask the doctor in the mansion to take my leave first." The leading guard saluted Jiang Rong.
It's not that they doubt Jiang Rong, but they don't really believe in Xiao Nanxing's medical skills.
What if Xiao Nanxing cures someone bad?
It's better to go home and ask the doctor to take a look.
Jiang Rong didn't object.
A quarter of an hour later.
Jiang Qingrong, who was lying in front of the tombstone, suddenly started bleeding from all his orifices.
"Uncle! What's wrong with uncle?" Jiang Rong pretended to be shocked.
One of the guards rushed forward to check the situation and was immediately stunned, "Master...Master is out of breath!"
……
The Jiang family immediately reported the incident.
Soon, Taifu Shen, who was also the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came in person with his people.
At this time, the lit incense had burned out.
After careful inspection, Wu Zuo said, "The deceased died of poisoning. I don't know the poison. I need to ask an imperial doctor to verify it."
Tai Fu Shen quickly sent someone to ask the imperial doctor from Tai Hospital who knew more about poisons.
"He was poisoned by a strange poison and slept forever..." After the inspection, the imperial doctor inspected the objects of the Western Zhou Dynasty one by one, pointed to the remaining half bundle of incense and said:
"This incense contains a strange poison."
Taifu Shen immediately asked Jiang Rong, "Who prepared this incense? What happened just now?"
"My uncle brought these." Jiang Rong said sadly:
"Just now, my uncle said that he was going back to get the sacrificial inscriptions, but suddenly he screamed and fainted to the ground. The accompanying doctor investigated and found that my uncle had fainted due to excessive grief... so he went back to give him medicine."
Jade exclaimed, "This fragrance is poisonous? Crown Princess? How are you?"
Taifu Shen also expressed concern, "Doctor, please take a look at Jiang Yatou quickly."
The imperial doctor checked her pulse and said, "The imperial concubine is indeed slightly poisoned...but the poison effect is only mild, so there is no serious problem. No medication is needed, just rest more."
At this time, Xiao Nanxing, who went to prepare medicine, also came back.
"What? Princess Concubine, are you poisoned? Let me see!" Xiao Nanxing heard this and quickly checked Jiang Rong's pulse, then pretended to be confused and said:
"This doesn't seem to be a problem?"
The imperial doctor was an old man with a white beard. He looked at the young man in front of him and said:
"It's hard to identify strange poisons. Your medical skills are still shallow, so it's normal that you can't detect them. Recently, I've been using more tonics for the Crown Princess and taking good care of her."
Jiang Rong looked at Taifu Shen and said, "I would like Taifu Shen to find out the real culprit who murdered my uncle."
"Don't worry, Girl Jiang, I will definitely give you an explanation."
……
Taifu Shen returned to the Criminal Department with Jiang Qingrong's body.
The guards who come with Jiang Qingrong will be carefully screened one by one.
He also arrested the steward of the Jiang family and asked about the source of the incense...
But the manager didn't know. He only knew that it was purchased a few days ago.
Late at night, the Shen family.
Mr. Shen stared at the case file and thought hard.
"Dad, Jiang Rong went to worship with Uncle Jiang, but she is fine! Xiao Nanxing also deliberately refused to allow anyone to move Uncle Jiang... I think Jiang Rong is suspicious!" Shen Wenyuan felt for the first time that this matter had something to do with Jiang Rong.
Mr. Shen shook his head and said, "Impossible."
"You always trust her, but now we are investigating a case. Even the person you trust is suspected of being involved in the murder!" Shen Wenyuan said with a righteous expression.
"Of course I know that personal friendships must be abandoned when investigating a case." Taifu Shen looked at Shen Wenyuan and said in a deep voice:
"But the investigation relies on evidence. First of all, Xiao Nanxing did not allow Jiang Qingrong to be moved. For the patient, this is completely in line with medical principles. The imperial doctor has confirmed it, and they did not know that the incense is poisonous. It is reasonable to make this arrangement. Secondly , the poisonous incense was purchased by the Jiang family, it had nothing to do with her, and she was poisoned by it."
"Furthermore, Jiang Yatou and Jiang Qingyuan have always had a deep relationship. There is also a lack of motive for committing the crime. I think we need to check Jiang Qingrong's daily enemies..." Taifu Shen pondered.
After saying that, he looked at Shen Wenyuan again, "You have misunderstood Jiang Yatou too much. How could she do such a thing?"
Shen Wenyuan could only smile and say, "Father, everything you said is right. My son just made a casual guess..."
But I was thinking in my heart that it must be Jiang Rong, but there was no evidence left.
……
As soon as the news of Jiang Qingrong's tragic death spread, it caused a sensation in the capital.
"I heard that someone poisoned him... but he prepared the poisonous incense himself. On the anniversary of his death, he died tragically in front of his brother and sister-in-law's grave. People have to wonder whether he did something to offend his brother and sister-in-law and was taken away by them. Got it!"
"Indeed, I also think the time of Jiang Qingrong's death is too strange. Could it be retribution for doing something evil?"
"His whole family is dead... Most likely, it is retribution!"
