Over the past few months, Luoyang City has been a series of dramas.

From the emperor being killed by the prince, to the subsequent throne competition, to the new monarch ascending the throne, and then the change of many officials in the court... These things were only encountered in decades in the past, but this time it broke out in just three or four months.

This was a real eye-opener for the people of the city and gained knowledge. Many people even thought that they would not be surprised by any changes in the future. Then, something happened today that sensationalized the whole city. The dignified Marquis of Yicheng was actually killed at home, and the murderer was actually the Si Zheng Lu Zhen of the Imperial City Department!

When the Qiu family took Lu Zhen to the palace all the way, they also spread the matter. As for whether they did this because they said it casually or wanted to put pressure on the court, it was difficult to infer.

Li Ling, who was busy handling various official duties in the newly established Sansi Yamen, was stunned for a long time after learning about this situation, and then snorted softly: "It's so fast to start... I didn't expect that even Qiu Jun's family would have those people's eyeliners?"

Immediately, his expression changed again: "No, the person behind the scenes who inferred before should be Sun Lin, or Luo Tian Sect. Needless to say, the Luo Tian Sect, Yong King has been abolished. Will anyone still take the risk of killing people to silence them? Could it be that our inference is wrong?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were strange, and he couldn't sit still. He wanted to go and figure it out. But because people are sent to the palace now, Li Ling, as a minister, was not easy to take the initiative to participate, so he could only wait, hoping that Sun Bi could call him over and participate.

The two of them are good friends and partners for many years, and there is still a tacit understanding. Li Ling was looking forward to it, and the palace soon came to the decree and asked him to go over and take the trial together. Now Li Ling did not neglect, put down other things at hand and went straight to the palace.

When Li Ling rushed into the palace, there were already many people in the palace. In addition to the parties involved in Lu Zhen and the Qiu brothers, Wang Han and other important officials in the court, as well as nobles such as Prince Huai, Sun Pu, and Prince Jing, Sun Qi, were also present.

Sun Pu and Sun Qi, because of Sun Bi's gratitude or guilt for them, now have a certain status in the court. Although they have not been sent to work, they seem to be able to hold certain positions in the court soon. So when such an accident occurs, they can also participate.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sun Bi asked about the matter before and after the incident, how could the Qiu brothers clearly tell what they hadn't seen? In the end, it would be up to the suspect Lu Zhen to explain.

As he explained the whole story clearly, everyone's expression became solemn. If Qiu Jun really had that mistake, it would be a pity to die. But the problem is that once he died, the clues would be completely cut off. What's even more terrifying is that where did the guy who instructed him behind the scenes get such energy? Can a marquis be obedient and silence him so easily?

Sun Bi's face was particularly gloomy: "What you said is the truth?"

"Your Majesty is clear, I dare not deceive the monarch..." Lu Zhen hurriedly defended himself, and told him the specific situation at that time. He heard the monarch, minister and others nodded frequently. Under the gaze of those dozens of people, he really did not have the ability to undermine Qiu Jun.

"But my father died after he came to the door, and this must have nothing to do with him." Mr. Qiu refused to give in and immediately grabbed this point and said.

"That's because someone is guilty of being a thief and wants to destroy his mouth!" Lu Zhen immediately retorted.

The second son of Qiu Jia wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Ling first: "Do you think there is something wrong with that cup of tea? Is the thing still there?" He was most particular about the focus. Sun Bi also followed him when he heard this, but asked the second son of Qiu Jia: "Have you made arrangements before you come?"

The two playboys looked at me, and I looked at you, and they were both stunned. They were both panicked at that time and just wanted to pull the prisoner to the emperor to seek justice. How could they even think about it like this?

Lu Zhen then answered again: "Your Majesty, I have reminded them at that time and saw someone put the teacup aside. Someone should put it away and keep it."

"I will hurry to the Marquis of Yicheng's mansion and get the two cups of tea for me. The people who brought tea and cooked tea were also taken and sent over. In addition, let the imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital who is good at using poison to detoxify and enter the palace to help check..." Sun Bi ordered in a very organized manner.

The eunuch quickly received the order, and at this time, Wei Liang, among the ministers, came out and said: "Your Majesty, as well as the coroner of the Ministry of Justice and the body of the Marquis of Yicheng, can also be called together to investigate."

Sun Bi was so kind that he agreed immediately, "Well, I'm right, just do what you want."

When everyone heard this, they wanted to take a corpse in the palace to check the poison, which was inconsistent with the etiquette. But after seeing the emperor's solemn expression, everyone swallowed the words to their mouths. If it were just the case of Qiu Jun's murder, there would be no taboo, but the problem is that this matter also concerns the assassination that His Majesty had encountered before, which was a serious crime of treason and no one dared to get involved.

Li Ling didn't speak in the crowd, but his eyes quickly glanced at all the participants' faces. He always felt that the person behind this scene might be among the dozens of middle-aged and high-ranking officials and powerful officials in front of him.

He had thought it was Qiu Jun, who was instructed by Sun Lin, but Qiu Jun's death made this inference no longer valid. After all, King Yong has become a deposed man and cannot protect himself. How could he arrange for someone to poison Qiu Jun and silence him? Qiu Jun is already a dignified Marquis of Yicheng. The only one who can help him do such a big rebellious act is the only one with a person with a far superior identity or power. This person is just the people in front of him, and the others do not have the qualifications at all.

So Li Ling now wants to find out the flaws of his guilty guilt through the expressions of these people. However, I don’t know if this guy is enough to hide it or if he doesn’t have the ability to investigate and observe the sex, after a few rounds, Li Ling did not find any doubts. Everyone seemed to behave the same. They were all confused, uneasy, and a little anger.

No matter what Li Ling thought, the case still had to be investigated. More than half an hour later, the people and things the emperor wanted were quickly sent over.

After seeing Qiu Jun's twisted and tragic body, many people looked at him, and the coroner of the Ministry of Justice could still come forward to investigate calmly.

The dignified Marquis was in front of His Majesty, and he did not dare to do anything too much. He only used a long needle to penetrate his throat, esophagus and stomach sac for testing. At the same time, the imperial physician on the other side also sniffed and checked the two cups of retained tea, etc.

After seeing this, Li Ling realized that the current method was too crappy. If he had the laboratory knowledge and tools from later generations, he would have been able to get it right? However, he, a time traveler, only remembered the most basic things in chemistry, and had long forgotten everything else. After all, before time travel, he was also an accountant, not a chemistry talent.

While thinking about it, there were results on both sides:

"Your Majesty, only the one I have drunk in these two cups of tea is poisonous... The poison that is probably extremely rare. Only some gangs in the world will use it in order to kill people quickly. It is called the poison of Sanbus." The imperial physician was also experienced and gave the answer in a moment.

Coroner is weaker: "Your Majesty, Marquis Yicheng was indeed poisoned. This poison is extremely domineering. His entire stomach has been corroded by poison..."

Now the result was already revealed, and Lu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, so he was innocent. But then he felt distressed again. Even so, he still couldn't escape the fault of ineffective work, because this most important criminal was poisoned to him.

But now the emperor did not mean to pursue this point, but said with a serious expression: "Where is the one who cooks tea and delivers tea?"

Indeed, this is already the most critical point, especially the one who delivered the tea - Lu Zhen, the cup of tea, was not poisonous, but these two cups of tea must come from the same pot. The suspect of the tea-making person is naturally not very suspicious, and only the servant who delivered the tea is the most suspicious.

"Go back to your Majesty, they have all been brought and waited outside the palace."

"Come in." Sun Bi was so energetic. Did such an important murderer not escape? Then this was the best breakthrough. Others had the same idea. Li Ling even stared at the palace gate, waiting for the two of them to come in.

As a result, the two thirteen or fourteen-year-old servants came in, and they had no appearance at all. They were already panicked when they were brought in like this, and they were taken to the palace. When they saw so many big shots, they were even more frightened. Once they entered the palace, they would only kneel down and kowtow, repeatedly calling for themselves that they were innocent.

After Sun Bi asked a few words, everyone made this judgment. These two people had no courage or ability to poison a marquis. Now, everyone was really surprised. The hall suddenly became quiet, and they didn't know how to investigate the case further.

At this moment, Li Ling spoke: "Doctor Zheng, are these two cups of tea exactly the same? Except whether it is poisonous."

The imperial physician who had just identified the poisonous tea was a little stunned, then picked up two more cups of tea, looked carefully, and then said: "The cup is the same, but the tea is different. The cup that Lord Lu did not drink is just an ordinary good tea, but the cup is poisonous, but the cup is a high-quality Maojian, and perhaps there are other processing..."
