Chapter 258: Zhao Yu's Cause of Death (1)

Zhao Quan died very strangely, and even to this day, the Imperial City Department has not found anything.

Therefore, the Imperial City Department could only seal the small courtyard where Zhao Qi lived, and the two maids around Zhao Qi were all arrested.

Because when Zhao Quan died, there were only two maids in the entire courtyard, so their suspicion must be the greatest.

However, one thing is certain, that is, Zhao Qi must have been poisoned to death, and it was extremely poisonous, because when Zhao Qi died, his limbs and face were covered with red spots, which looked very strange.

After listening to Tong Guan’s story, Ning Fu remained silent for a long time.

In the end, he didn't say much, but asked again: "Where is that little prince, how did he get poisoned?"

"The little prince was poisoned very clearly. There was a maid next to the prince who poisoned the prince's clothes. Although it was discovered in time, because the poison was too strong, the prince was also poisoned. Later, after the rescue of materials, he finally survived

But his body became very weak.”

"How do you know that the palace maid is the one who poisoned it? Where is the palace maid now?"

Ning Fu asked two key questions.

"After the prince was poisoned, the Imperial City Department immediately controlled everyone around the prince. As a result, the palace maid actually committed suicide by taking poison. Moreover, the poison she drank was the same as the prince's poison. In addition, she could easily contact the prince.

The clothes, so it must be her."

Tong Guan replied again.

Ning Fu was unquestionable when he heard this. Now he is just a one-sided statement from Tong Guan, so Ning Fu cannot make a judgment for the time being.

The two of them soon arrived at the Chuigong Hall. When they entered the main hall, Ning Fu also clearly felt that the atmosphere in the hall was very depressing.

There were not many people in the hall, not even a few eunuchs or palace maids, and the windows in the hall were closed, making the light look a little dark.

Behind the book in the hall, Zhao Xu sat there with a haggard face, staring at the corner of the wall with a dazed look, not knowing what he was thinking? Even Ning Fu and Tong Guan didn't notice it when they came in.

"I'm Ning Fu, please see the official family!"

Ning Fu immediately stepped forward and solemnly bowed to Zhao Xu.

After hearing Ning Fu's name, Zhao Xu woke up. When he looked up and saw Ning Fu in the hall, his expression was a little dazed, as if he couldn't tell whether everything in front of him was reality or illusion?

"Official family, Qingping Bo has just returned. After I received the news, I immediately picked him up into the palace."

Tong Guan is worthy of being the person around Zhao Xu. He could see his thoughts at a glance, so he helped explain.

"It's really you, so good, you're finally back!"

Zhao Xu woke up and suddenly stood up excitedly and stepped forward, grabbing Ning Fu's arm.

This period was so painful for Zhao Xu. His respected younger brother died tragically and his only son was poisoned. But for the sake of the stability of the court, he could not announce this to the public.

So the only person who can help Zhao Xu relieve his worries is Ning Fu, which is why he is so anxious to recall Ning Fu.

"His Highness King Shen..."

As soon as Ning Fu spoke, his voice became a little more swallowed. Thinking of the days when he investigated the matter with Zhao Quan, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Zhao Xu's eyes were also red, and tears kept spinning in his eyes, but he finally took a long breath and held back the tears.

"I know that your friendship with your ninth brother is very close, but now is not the time to be sad. Ninth brother cannot die in vain, so I transferred you back just to find out the cause of Ninth brother's death. It is best to catch all the masterminds behind the scenes.

! ""

When Zhao Xu spoke at the end, he also showed a gritting expression. He now hated the mastermind behind the scenes and even wanted to wash the entire imperial city bloodily. Only in this way can the anger in his heart be calmed.

"I lost my manners!"

Ning Fu wiped his tears, then stood up and cheered up.

"If you want to see Your Highness's body, you also need someone familiar with this case to accompany you."

"No problem, Tong Guan is most familiar with this case. In addition, there are people from the Imperial City Department. Let him take someone to help you handle this case in person!"

Zhao Xu nodded immediately.

After Ning Fu thanked Zhao Xu, he immediately took Tong Guan to say goodbye to Zhao Xu. After all, it was not appropriate to go back. The longer the delay, the fewer clues available.

After leaving the Chuigong Hall, Tong Guan immediately summoned the people from the Imperial City Department. The leader was also Ning Fu's old acquaintance. When he went to Qiuling to investigate the case, Liu Mu brought people to help Ning Fu and Zhao Quan. Unfortunately,

Now there is one person missing.

Zhao Qi's body stopped at the Imperial City Division, Liu Mu led the way in front, and the group soon arrived at a morgue.

When the door was opened, a cold air immediately came to my face. Although the weather was getting colder now, in order to keep the body as it was, there were still a lot of ice cubes piled up in the morgue, which made the temperature in the room very low.

Ning Fu walked in and saw Zhao Qi lying quietly on a shelf in the middle of the room, looking very peaceful, as if he was asleep.

Ning Fu took a deep breath, then stepped forward.

When Ning Fu got closer, he found that there were many spots on Zhao Qi's face, and now they were all blue and black, looking both terrifying and a little weird.

"When King Shen died, his face and hands and feet were all covered with spots. At first, it was still red, but now it has turned into this color."

Liu Mu introduced to Ning Fu softly.

"What do you say about Wuzuo?"

Ning Fu asked in a deep voice.

"Wu Zuo can only determine whether Your Highness died of poisoning. As for which poison it is, it is not yet confirmed."

Liu Mu replied again.

Ning Fu sighed secretly when he heard this. This era is too backward. Although there are such a strange book as "Xi'an Lu", there are still too many things that cannot be detected.

"Apart from the spots on Your Highness's body, Wu Zuo examined His Highness's whole body and found no other wounds, so this poison should be taken orally or entered into the body from breathing."

Liu Mu introduced again at this time.

In this era, the dead are the most important. Even if it is a Wuzhu, it is generally possible to view the scars on the surface of the deceased. It is rare to dissect the corpse. Moreover, Zhao Quan was the prince of the Song Dynasty. His identity was extremely noble, so it was even more impossible to dissect it.

"Where are some small wounds, it is difficult to find."

Ning Fu pointed to Zhao Quan's hair and asked.

If it is placed in later generations, just shave off the deceased's hair, which is easier to observe. However, in this era when the body and skin are related to filial piety, it is impossible to touch the deceased's hair.

"Absolutely, I asked a few afternoons to check it out, and I didn't find any wounds on my head."

Liu Mu replied with great certainty that he had thought of this a long time ago, so he asked Wu Zuo to check it out several times and confirmed that there was no omission.
