Chapter 155 Poisoning
It is said that the disaster will last for thousands of years, and it is true from the past.Therefore, neither Tang Zhao nor Mingda obviously thought that the scourge of Emperor Yanping would die so simply and suddenly.
Both of them froze for a moment, Tang Zhao frowned and was about to check Emperor Yanping's body.
Seeing this, Ming Da pulled her away, and said in disapproval, "Let Wu Zuo do the autopsy. I think he was poisoned to death, and I don't know what kind of poison it is. What if it touches it and it will harm you?"
The appearance of Emperor Yanping's death was indeed not good, not to mention his grim face, bleeding from all seven orifices, it looked more sexual than the poisonous wine Mingda prepared for him before, and he must have experienced a lot of pain before his death - so this Why bother, he could die quickly after drinking Mingda's poisoned wine in the morning, but now he lived half a day longer, but died so painfully.
Mingda couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, but as the person involved, he would obviously still choose the path with a chance of survival.Although it was a dead end in the end, it was a waste of time.
But Tang Zhao patted Mingda's hand and said: "I will be more careful, and there should be no such strong poison." , I’m not sure it’s him, and I might have to worry about it in the future. Just for peace of mind, let me see it too.”
Speaking of this, Mingda naturally had no choice but to let go.In fact, after seeing Emperor Yanping's body until now, she still has a sense of unreality in her heart, always worrying that the scene in front of her is fake.
Tang Zhao was right, she wouldn't feel at ease if she didn't check it out for herself.
Mingda let go, and Tang Zhao knelt down to check.She first took a closer look at Emperor Yanping's appearance, except that she was a little older than the first time she saw it, but there was nothing wrong with it, it should be that she was right.
Tang Zhao was watching, when suddenly a familiar hand stretched out to touch the corpse.She was startled and hurriedly pulled her back, turned her head and said in disapproval: "What are you doing? I was not allowed to touch the corpse before, but now you dare to do it yourself?!"
When facing Mingda, Tang Zhao is always pampered and pampered, and rarely speaks harshly.
Mingda felt guilty for a while when she grabbed her hand, and then explained: "I heard that there is a magical technique called disguise, which can make two people who are not alike look exactly alike, so I wanted to see it. It's not uncommon to see something similar, so I wanted to check it out, but I couldn't tell if I looked at it."
Tang Zhao only half-believed the trick of disguise.She knows the power of makeup, and sometimes using those makeup pens can really change people's appearance greatly, and it is not uncommon for her to become completely different from herself.But it is a completely different difficulty to completely make up a person into another person. She is not sure that no one can do it, but at least it cannot be done easily.
And makeup and other means, you can always see the clues if you get close.
As for the stand-in, Tang Zhao has nothing to say, because this kind of thing is indeed not uncommon in the royal family.
Daliang Jianguo hasn't heard much about it not long ago, but there was an emperor in the previous dynasty who was addicted to keeping a double, and he raised seven or eight doubles in one go, all of whom looked exactly like him.This one went to court for him today, and the other went hunting for him tomorrow, so that the courtiers couldn't tell the truth from the fake.
Both of them were worried about this, but Mingda wanted to do it himself, and Tang Zhao was unwilling.She pushed Mingda aside and said, "This is a dead person, so don't touch it, let me do it."
Mingda wanted to say something when he heard the words, but seeing Tang Zhao's serious face, he didn't say anything.
Tang Zhao himself was very careful. After thinking about it, he wrapped his hands with his sleeves before touching Emperor Yanping's body.First, she rubbed it on his face without any makeup on it, then touched around his cheeks carefully, and even tugged at his gray beard, but found nothing wrong.The hounds were still barking outside. If this person hadn't been a fake from the beginning, he wouldn't have been fake.
Having come to such a conclusion, both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Immediately after thinking of something, Ming Da stood up and ordered: "Search this other courtyard carefully, don't let anyone escape, and ask the servants of this other courtyard where their master is."
The soldier promised and left in a hurry. In fact, there was no need to order, the other courtyard was already surrounded by iron barrels.
Tang Zhao got up immediately, and added: "Let someone investigate again to see who did the poisoning. This is too fast and decisive, and it's not like ordinary people can do it."
Killing people is no better than killing pigs and dogs. Unless you have a lot of lives in your hands and are used to killing, normal people will always hesitate to do something of the same kind.However, from the time the soldiers from the Princess Mansion broke the door to rushing over, it only took less than half a cup of tea, plus the time it took for the poison|poison to take effect, the person who shot did not even hesitate at all.
Tang Zhao was a little startled by such decisiveness, and he knew that the person who did it was not an ordinary person.
The setting sun was gone, and the twilight was getting darker. Before the sky was completely dark, the interrogation of the soldiers had already come to a conclusion.
Unfortunately, Mingda and Tang Zhao didn't get any good news just like seeing Emperor Yanping's tragic death when they entered the door—there were not too many servants in the other courtyard, but none of them could tell the master's family after interrogation. Why come.That's all, it was expected, but after interrogating everyone, no one admitted to poisoning Emperor Yanping.
Both Tang Zhao and Mingda could see that they were not lying, so who was it that poisoned Emperor Yanping to death?Did he run away surrounded by soldiers, or did the owner poison Emperor Yanping a long time ago, but happened to have the attack at that time?
The two couldn't think of a reason for a while, but it was really annoying that the clue was broken here.
This is no longer as simple as the escape of Emperor Yanping. The hidden dangers in the palace made the two of them have to pay attention.Otherwise, they could slander the little emperor today, steal away the guards of the imperial army, and take the little emperor's life in a grand manner tomorrow!
The atmosphere gradually became gloomy, and Mingda's face was gradually shrouded in twilight, making it difficult for people to see her expression clearly.
Tang Zhao suddenly reached out and grabbed her: "Mingda."
Mingda turned to look at her, his tone was still calm: "What's wrong?"
In the night, Tang Zhao pursed her lips, and her voice was very calm, which was slightly different from the past: "Have you ever thought that there is actually an easier way to find the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Mingda heard the unusual tone in her tone, but she was more attracted by the content of the words: "What?"
Tang Zhao stopped hesitating and said, "Song Yang. Do you still remember Song Yang? When he jumped up and down, there was obviously someone behind him. And I know him a little bit, and Emperor Yanping, who is as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog, would not be the one he took refuge in." object."
Of course Mingda still remembered Song Yang, and she had always known that Song Yang was blindly involved in these matters.He was originally just a concubine of Dingguo Duke's mansion, but he was involved in everything from the imperial censor to the Beidi war. What's more, the secret guards found out that there was indeed someone behind him.It's just that Mingda has never thought of doing anything with him, which has kept him safe until now.
There are two reasons for not attacking Song Yang.One is that Ding Guogong had just died in battle in the Northland, and when his bones were still cold, the imperial court could not easily attack his family members.The second is because of Tang Zhao, Song Yang is also her younger brother after all.
Mingda had a lot of concerns about Dingguo's government, but Tang Zhao didn't. After seeing Mingda's hesitation, she said, "Song Yang was a man who was ambitious and unscrupulous since he was a child. My father never thought of making him the heir of Dingguo. It would be nothing if the government lost him, on the contrary, there would be one less hidden danger. Your Highness doesn't have to worry about anything, let alone show mercy."
When Tang Zhao said this, he was very serious. Under the moonlight, Mingda could see her bright and firm eyes.
Finally, Mingda let go of his worries, nodded and said, "Very well, it will be as Azhao said." After a pause, he continued: "When this matter is over, the title of Duke Ding should be determined as soon as possible. It makes people think that the Duke's Mansion has been hated."
Tang Zhao's brows and eyes eased, and he smiled softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking about the Song family."
Mingda was relieved by her smile. He led Tang Zhao out and said, "What do you think of the heirs of the Duke's mansion, Azhao? Do you think any of the sons of Duke Ding is worthy of great responsibility?" ?”
Tang Zhao thought about it carefully, but it's a pity that she entered the palace at a young age to be the prince's companion, and she didn't stay at home for a long time, and she didn't have much impression of those concubines.The only Song Yang who has an impression is because he loves to express himself since he was a child, but he can't hide his means. This left a deep impression on people, and it is also a bad impression.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhao shook his head and said, "I'm not familiar with them, so His Highness can handle it as he sees. If there are really no one worthy of great responsibility, then it's better to let them be rich and idle people, it's better than being unworthy."
Mingda was not surprised when he heard this, he nodded in agreement, and the two immediately drove back to the city.
It was already dark at this time, and when the guards from the Princess Mansion drove back to the capital, the gates of the city were naturally closed.Originally Mingda also had another business in the southern suburbs, and planned to rest in the suburbs tonight, but after talking with Tang Zhao, he decided to go back to the city.
The so-called long nights and many dreams, the Princess Mansion dispatched soldiers out of the city today can't hide it from people, and those who should be alarmed must have already been alarmed.If Emperor Yanping can be captured alive, then naturally there is nothing to say, but unfortunately now that Emperor Yanping is dead, then he has to recalculate.They had no time to waste, so they arrested Song Yanglai overnight, so they could interrogate him overnight to get a result.
As a result, Mingda didn't care about publicity anymore, and after revealing his identity, he knocked on the city gate overnight and returned to the capital.
Hearing the sound of the "rumbling" city gate opening and closing, Tang Zhao heard the sound and said to Mingda: "His Royal Highness must hurry up, and it is best to have a result tonight, otherwise the censor's participation tomorrow I am afraid that Zou can fill Xiang Feng's desk."
Mingda was noncommittal about this, in fact, the two hundred soldiers had been divided into two groups after entering the city.One way escorted the two back to the Princess Mansion, and the other way went directly to Dingguo Mansion.
It was night, and Dingguo's mansion was besieged.There are many guards in the house, all of whom are elites who have retired from the army.However, the current Duke's Mansion has no competent master, so in the end, the soldiers from the Princess Mansion can only be driven straight in, and Song Yang is taken away overnight.
The author has something to say: there will be a second update later as usual
