"Liu Congde wants to get involved with his sister-in-law... Mr. Qin is pretending to be ill... Well, the rich family is really in chaos!"
When Di Jin heard what his sister had gained tonight, he couldn't help but sigh similarly.
Di Xiangling said: "I thought about it when I came back. This Qin lady is pretending to be ill very well. If she hadn't been pretending to be ill, then with Liu Congguang's love for Madam Hu, he might have divorced his wife and raised his concubine to the throne!"
"It can't be done! If Liu Congguang wants to do this, the Liu family will not allow it, and the Queen Mother in the palace will not allow it. There are so many civil servants watching!" Di Jin shook his head: "On the contrary, the wife died of illness, and she helped the low-born Only when the concubine is in position will he have the opportunity to operate."
Others aside, isn't this how Liu E came to power? If Guo, the aunt of Guo Chengqing and Guo Chengshou, the second queen of Song Zhenzong, had not died of illness, Liu E would not have been able to become the queen no matter how favored she was.
Di Xiangling asked curiously: "In that case, why would Mr. Qin pretend to be ill?"
"As of now, there is only one possibility!" Di Jin said in a deep voice: "If someone really wants to kill her, she must pretend to be sick to paralyze him. After all, there is no need to dirty herself when she sees that the person she wants to kill is about to die of illness. hands..."
Di Xiangling's face darkened: "So Madam Hu is going to take over?"
Di Jin did not answer, and came to the desk, took out a stack of case records, turned to one of the pages, and showed it: "These are the case records sent by the Kaifeng government office. According to the confessions of Liu's servants, they are in front of me." A few days ago, Liu Congguang slapped his son hard, and his daughter Jiuxiao Niangzi came out crying. Many servants saw it... and this was not the first time. Liu Congguang often beat and scolded his son on weekdays! Liu Congguang Madam Hu is just a concubine, but this concubine has not given birth to any children?"
Di Xiangling shook his head: "No."
"That's strange!" Di Jin said: "If the concubine gives birth to a son, Liu Congguang loves Wujiwu and wants to straighten the concubine and turn the concubine into a legitimate son, then it is possible to beat and scold the original son. Now Liu Yongnian is his only son. , with just one son and one daughter, why do you treat your children so badly?"
There are not a few children of wealthy families who dote on concubines. After all, their wives are often well-matched women from wealthy families. They are not necessarily very good-looking and have little interest. And if a concubine is not beautiful and does not know how to charm men, how can she be admitted?
However, the issue of wives and concubines generally does not involve children, and the descendants of the rich family are the most important, not to mention the situation where the concubine has no children at all, only the main wife gives birth...
Liu Congguang may not be a qualified son of a wealthy family, but his behavior is still not normal. Di Jin went through the confession again: "Qin was seriously ill and lingered on the bed. The Kaifeng government office did not even record the confession. This tactic of pretending to be ill is indeed quite effective." clever."
Di Xiangling said: "Should I go and question her?"
"No!" Di Jin shook his head: "That's it, Mrs. Hu, what she said is of no importance. This Qin family is the deceased's real wife. If we are questioned inexplicably and reported to the Kaifeng government office or the Queen Mother, we will be passive. .”
Di Xiangling raised his eyebrows: "That's right! I saw the Forbidden Army patrolling outside the Liu Mansion. When I came back, I also found traces of the Forbidden Army in and around the alley. I'm afraid they were sent by the Imperial City Division..."
Di Jin understood: "There are also people in the Imperial College who are trying to ruin my reputation. It seems that the Imperial City Division has been involved in this case, so we cannot rush to interrogate witnesses, which will undermine the fairness of the case."
Di Xiangling didn't like the feeling of being tied down, but he also knew that when politics was involved, it would inevitably be like this: "Fortunately, there must be something wrong with this Qin family, so let's investigate her?"
Di Jin said: "If she is pretending to be ill but takes medicine all year round, then the doctor who prescribes the medicine must be an insider. Otherwise, she will not be able to bear the disease even if she is not sick. Find out from Liu's servants which doctor is treating her. "
Di Xiangling said with a smile: "No need to ask, I just heard her telling her son that she wanted to recruit Dr. Wen from Ren'ai Hall to change the medicine. She is ready to stop pretending and inherit her late husband's property in an open and honest manner!"
…
Ren'ai Tang is located on Hengjie.
In the early morning of the next day, when the energetic Di Xiangling looked at the pharmacy, a thought suddenly came to his mind. Could it be that the pharmacy that Madam Hu had promised to pay for after rescuing her was this one, right?
After all, judging from the appearance and the flow of people, it is really not an exaggeration to sell eight thousand guan after the hasty transfer.
What a coincidence!
Of course Di Xiangling would not enter by herself. These days, it is not necessary for women to come to the pharmacy to see a doctor, but wealthy families always ask doctors to come to their homes. Even if she disguises herself, it will be difficult for her to reach that target.
So at this moment, Di Xiangling was just waiting in front of the teahouse diagonally opposite.
About two-quarters of an hour later, an ordinary man appeared on the seat behind her and whispered: "Eleven ladies!"
Di Xiangling said calmly: "A doctor named Wen from Ren'ai Hall treated Qin, a wife of the Liu family in Taipingfang. Check him out and see if he has conspired with Qin to do anything?"
The man nodded, turned and left the tea shop.

Di Xiangling was drinking tea outside and waiting patiently.
Patients were coming in and out. About half an hour later, there was a sudden noise inside, and there were attempts to dissuade and stop them. Later, even the patrolling soldiers came in to ask questions. It was obvious that this pharmacy was very active in filial piety, so those soldiers would be like this. Get to the scene quickly.
But the noise in the front just covered up the questioning behind it. When the hall became quiet and the work to be done was over, the man came over and whispered: "The person the Eleven Lady wants to ask is indeed the Liu Mansion." The Qin family is having an affair."
Di Xiangling was stunned, almost thinking that he heard wrongly: "What did you say... fornication?"
The man was also surprised. He thought that this person already knew and asked them to come over to confirm, so he hurriedly reported in detail: "The Qin family had already known each other and fell in love with Dr. Wen before she married into the Liu family, but they were snatched away by the Liu family. Love, later on, even though Dr. Wen was married and had children, he still went to the Liu family’s pharmacy for consultation and took this opportunity to visit frequently..."
"No wonder he was able to pretend to be ill. He has such a close relationship with the doctor! Fortunately, this adulterer is unreliable and he will come up with something when pressed. Otherwise, he would have never thought of it!"
Di Xiangling murmured. She already felt that the big family was in chaos, and it turned out to be even more exaggerated than she thought. She waved her hand and said: "Take down Dr. Wen. This person is very important. You must keep a close eye on him. Go!" "
"yes!"
The man gently clasped his fists, turned around and disappeared.
Di Xiangling walked through the front door this time and returned home.
It is not a secret that Di Jin has a sister. She is always invisible, but it arouses suspicion. Now she has at least shown her face, and then entered the study to tell her the news she just got.
Di Jin was not too surprised when he heard this, but just sighed: "So, the one who really committed adultery with outsiders was the wife Qin?"
"Yes! The rumor that the concubine stole someone was actually the brother who wanted to seduce his sister-in-law. When he failed to succeed, he became angry and ruined his reputation. However, the real adultery was completely unknown to the servants!" Di Xiangling laughed! He shouted: "If it seems like this, Liu Congguang wants to help his concubine to rise to power, it is true. At least Madam Hu did not betray him, but he doesn't want to know the truth..."
"Does Liu Congguang really not know?" Di Jin thought of his brief contact with Liu Congguang: "This man is arrogant and arrogant. He likes to humiliate others, but he is also extremely face-saving. With such a character, even if he knew that his wife was having an affair with an outsider, he would not He will speak out, otherwise he will become the laughing stock of all his relatives and nobles, which would be even worse than killing him!"
Di Xiangling sneered: "That's why he loves and obeys the concubine he brought into the house so much, so that if he divorces his wife in the future, outsiders will not suspect that his wife betrayed him, and they think that he cannot tolerate old age and depravity. Where is his wife?"
Di Jin said: "Not only that, I'm afraid there is another key point. The Qin family knew Doctor Wen long before marrying into the Liu family, and the adulterer was a doctor. If there had been adultery, Liu Yongnian... would... Could it be Liu Congguang’s son?”
"If that's the case, no wonder he beat his son so harshly!" Di Xiangling said with a moved expression: "The thing that Mrs. Qin needs to be careful about when she pretends to be sick is actually not the favored concubine, but her husband Liu Congguang!"
Di Jin said: "But obviously, Qin's pretending to be ill has an end. If she never dies of illness, then Liu Congguang will also notice that something is wrong, and maybe he will 'help' her out!"
Di Xiangling said: "Liu Congde and Liu Congyi are certainly greedy for money and have their own reasons, but they are not so imminent with murderous intentions... Isn't the Kaifeng government office interrogating that Jin Niang? If it is found that the instigator behind the scenes is the Qin family, she bribed After knowing Madam Hu’s personal maid, we can basically conclude that the real culprit who killed Liu Congguang was this person!”
Di Jin nodded slightly.
In the past, my sister felt that this was more or less the case, so she could go ahead with her mace. Now she also starts to pay attention to evidence, which is a good progress~
Di Xiangling concluded: "This couple is also amazing! I thought it was the husband who doted on his concubine and killed his wife, but in fact, he used doting on his concubine as an excuse to secretly kill the wife who had an affair; but the wife found out that something was wrong and pretended to be He was ill, evaded the murderous intention, and finally discovered the story, and used the case of adultery and murder to kill Liu Congguang, and then naturally passed it on to his concubine. After a long time, the concubine was innocent and became the victim of the fight between the couple? "
At this point, she suddenly paused: "That's not right! Mrs. Qin has been bedridden in the past few years. Although her pulse is stable, she cannot pretend to be weak. She cannot kill people with her own hands. Does she have any personal and loyal servants? ?”
Di Jin had already thought of it: "There may be, but such a major matter of murdering a husband usually does not rely on others, it must be a stakeholder, and he will never betray her..."
"Those children of the Qin family!" Di Xiangling took a breath: "Could it be those two children who acted with their own hands? Liu Yongnian?"
When layers of clues are uncovered and point to the truth, one can't help but feel chilled!
Let’s not say whether Liu Yongnian and Liu Congguang are blood father and son, but at least they are father and son in name. Is such an act not parricide?
"If you can join the army, then joining the Fengxian Army would be a good idea?"
A hell joke appeared in Di Jin's mind, then he composed himself and said in a deep voice: "The case is not over yet. If the truth is indeed like this, the Queen Mother in the palace will not accept it, and the Imperial City Department will not let this truth leak out. .”
Di Xiangling geared up: "Isn't that just right? I've long disliked the Imperial City Division. Before Zhu Er's case is revealed, how about weighing him in?"
