Gao Yuan quickly said: "Your Majesty, as soon as the news of Su Wei's death came out, Qi Yuanjing took control of the situation after getting the news, and preserved the scene and the physical evidence. Both the chicken soup and the scene were intact."
"It was freezing cold when the incident occurred. The chicken soup was kept frozen and never went rancid. Only when I arrive in Xiangyang can we further investigate."
"My slave boiled the chicken soup and found someone who was good at cooking. He tasted the various ingredients in the chicken soup."
"In the chicken soup, I found a medicinal material. This medicinal material is called Baipu Medicine. It nourishes the body, but it is rarely used because it is very difficult to find. The medicinal effect is not particularly strong, but it is not as good as Angelica, Astragalus, etc. "
"My slave was weak and sick before, so he tried to prepare medicines. After a long illness, he became a good doctor and knows some pharmacology."
"My slave went to the scene and found a Thousand Machine Grass in Su Wei's room."
"Spirited Grass is green and full of vitality all year round, and its smell is also fragrant. After stewing Baipu medicine and chicken soup, trace amounts of toxins will be produced, and then mixed with the taste of Spreading Grass, the medicinal effects will collide to produce incomparable The colorless and odorless poison caused Su Wei to eventually die."
Gao Yuan replied: "This is the reason why Su Wei was killed, because the old slave knows medicinal materials, and he just knows Baipu medicine, so he can understand the reason."
Zhao Shan had a look of shock in his eyes.
What a clever method!
It turned out to be a synthetic poison, and it was calculated and synthesized step by step. There were too many coincidences.
Zhao Shan thought for a while and asked, "Are you sure?"
Gao Yuan replied: "The slave selected people from the captured White Lotus cultists to drink chicken soup with a hundred pu added, and then threw it into the room where the Thousand Machine Grass was placed. It didn't take long for the White Lotus cultists to die. They look exactly the same.”
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "So the Su family must have been involved in Su Wei's murder, otherwise the White Lotus Saint's plan would not have succeeded. Only by cooperating inside and outside can Su Wei be poisoned."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Gao Yuan flattered him and said, "The name of the person who took action this time is Su Cheng, and he is the son of the old housekeeper Su Wei."
Zhao Shan's eyes were even colder.
Zhao Shan didn't have the slightest fondness for such a pickpocketing person.
Should be killed!
Zhao Shan was filled with murderous intent and asked, "Has Dongchang taken anyone yet?"
"Caught!"
Gao Yuan nodded and said: "This morning, people from Dongchang arrested Su Cheng. At first, he refused to cooperate and shouted to threaten the people in Dongchang. Unfortunately, his bones were too soft and he confessed everything after less than a quarter of an hour."
"Su Cheng used Su Wei to add greenery to the study and replace the green plants. Moreover, he took advantage of the old housekeeper."
"The medicinal ingredients in the chicken soup were also poured in by Su Cheng in the name of the old housekeeper, quietly approaching the kitchen."
"The reason Su Cheng cheated was because he was seduced by a woman. After the two parties resolved, Su Cheng said that it would cost a lot of money to propose marriage, but Su Cheng didn't have enough money. Su Cheng liked small gambles and knew that gambling could make a lot of money, so he went with the woman's instigation I gambled heavily, and I didn’t expect to owe tens of thousands of taels of silver in gambling debt.”
"Su Cheng couldn't run away after he was in debt, so he finally took action after being threatened."
"Because of Su Cheng, Su Wei died. After Su Wei's death, Su Cheng's father, the old housekeeper, died in depression. Previously, everyone was focused on the White Lotus Sect and investigating the cause of death."
Gao Yuan said in a deep voice: "I thought that as long as anyone who came into contact with Su Wei or the old housekeeper showed signs of suspiciousness, I investigated them one by one and found Su Cheng. Unfortunately, even if it was found that Su Cheng was set up by the White Lotus Sect, He laid a trap, but he didn’t know where the Saint of the White Lotus Sect was? Even the heroine who contacted Su Cheng disappeared. "
Zhao Shan looked approvingly, nodded and said: "You did a very good job, I am very pleased. Next, you continue to investigate the situation, and then bring Su Cheng to the Su family, I will deal with it."
"Old slave, take your orders!"
Gao Yuan answered respectfully, feeling completely relieved because he felt the emperor's kindness.
This is the purpose of his coming to Xiangyang.
Once you get into the eyes of the emperor and get the emperor's appreciation and respect, everything will be easier.
After Gao Yuan left, Zhao Shan also took action, put on a white shirt and robe, wore a turban on his head, and went for a private visit incognito with the Long Yuan Sword hanging around his waist.
Zhao Shan left the military camp without even Zhou Huhou and Li Jiye, but only two ordinary followers.
Secretly, there are Dongchang guards.
Zhao Shan planned to conduct a private visit in Xiangyang incognito to investigate the situation near Yongxingfang. But before he went, he had to go to Su's house to appease Su Yunxi and handle the matter properly before further investigation.
When Zhao Shan arrived at Su's house, he only said that he was Su Yunxi's husband, not the emperor.
Su Yunxi came in person.
Seeing Zhao Shan, Su Yunxi quickly welcomed Zhao Shan into the house and sat down in her yard.
Su Yunxi was bare-faced, without makeup, and dressed in white. She looked much thinner and looked a little depressed.
Zhao Shan said softly: "Yunxi, come back first to investigate. How is the situation?"
Su Yunxi said: "Your Majesty, is this concubine very incompetent? There is no news until now. I only know that she is from the White Lotus Sect. I only know that she is the White Lotus Saint, but I can't take revenge. I have a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. Who can find out? Something went wrong and we found out the murderer behind it, but there was no progress.”
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "You have done your best, I have everything."
Su Yunxi pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, my eldest brother died so unjustly. You must avenge him."
"I will definitely take revenge."
Zhao Shan nodded and continued: "I came today and brought you a little surprise."
Su Yunxi asked: "What's the surprise?"
Zhao Shan ordered: "Come here, bring Su Cheng in."
The people in Dongchang had already been ordered by Gao Yuan to escort Su Cheng and wait for orders. As soon as he heard Zhao Shan's order, he escorted Su Cheng in.
Su Yunxi was even more stunned when she saw Su Cheng.
She looked puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, Su Cheng is the son of the old housekeeper and is loyal to the Su family. Why was he caught? Could it be that he was involved in the murder of his eldest brother?"
