Chapter 714: Suspecting I've Been Poisoned

She took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed herself down.

"Xiao Sun, bring water!" Murong Jie saw that she was not so excited, so he called out.

Xiaosun and Nanny Yang had been waiting outside, waiting for orders, and came in immediately after hearing the prince's call.

She poured a cup of hot tea and said worriedly: "Princess, are you too tired?"

Zian looked at Xiaosun's sad little face, and she forced a smile, "Maybe, I'm really tired."

"Don't go climbing in the future." Xiaosun said, handing over the tea, Murong Jie took it, and waved her out.

"Come, take a sip of water." Murong Jie handed the water to her lips and said softly.

Zian took a big sip and breathed a sigh of relief, his mind seemed to be much clearer.

She looked up, and seeing Murong Jie looking at her worriedly, she asked him to put down the water, put it into his arms, and said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Well, as long as it's okay, come, lie down, and sleep for a while." His voice was a little depressed, but he was well controlled and didn't show it.

Zian lay down and looked at him quietly, his mind calmed down a bit, but doubts kept popping up again.

"Go to sleep, I'll watch over you here." Murong Jie stroked her face and said softly.

Zian slowly closed her eyes, she knew something was wrong in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what it was for the time being.

Slowly, she fell asleep again.

Murong Jie sat by her bed the whole time, and after she fell asleep, he went out and told Nanny Yang to take care of Zian, and he went to the yamen himself.

As a master with a sword, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the pregnant woman's wound. Moreover, poisonous snakes would not attack people for no reason unless they were threatened, and after biting people, they would run away immediately. How could it be possible? Stay in the woodshed?

Unless, someone deliberately created the illusion of a poisonous snake biting a person, and then caught the poisonous snake back, because this poisonous snake is not the one that bit people, so it will temporarily lurk there.

After the man rushed in, he startled the snake and escaped.

"My lord is here in person, but because of the murder case in Aotou Village?" Mr. Liang hurriedly greeted him when he saw him coming.

"Have you checked all the corpses? What did you find?" Murong Jie sat down and asked.

Mr. Liang waved his hand, and saw a foreman in gray clothes walking in.

He respectfully stepped forward and knelt down to salute, and replied: "Go back to the lord, I did a preliminary inspection and found that Wednesday was bitten by a poisonous snake and died of poisonous hair, and now there are blue bruises on his face, which are in the shape of palms. The shape of covering his mouth should be that after he was bitten by a poisonous snake, someone covered his mouth to prevent him from calling for help."

"Well, the bruise you mentioned, I also saw it at the time, but it was not obvious at the time, so it can be seen that the death was not long at that time, so what about the pregnant woman?" Murong Jie asked.

He raised his hand, motioning for him to stand up and answer.

Wu Zuo stood up after thanking her, and said: "The pregnant woman only has a wound on her neck, and it is fatal. The wound is very large. The murder weapon is the kitchen knife."

"The murder weapon?" Murong Jie nodded, "That is to say, you also think it was murder?"

"Basically ruled out suicide, she killed it, because the kitchen knife has been placed on the chopping board, and there are no pregnant women's footprints on the open space leading to the chopping board, and the ground is wet. If a pregnant woman walks by, she must leave footprints, which means, The kitchen knife was not brought by the pregnant woman herself, someone jumped up and took the kitchen knife and killed the pregnant woman, you can also see this from the wound, and there is also a faint footprint on the stove."

"This king also tends to commit suicide, not suicide. Have you asked the neighbors nearby? Have you seen strangers coming and going?"

"I also asked," Mr. Liang replied, "all the neighbors around have asked, and they said they didn't hear anything unusual. The neighbor Mrs. Zhou was sitting next to them, and she said hello to her when she came back on Wednesday, saying that she would I went back to cook for my wife, and came back with a bundle of firewood on Wednesday, and shared half of it with her. She said she would send eggs to Wednesday, and after she had settled down with her family, she took the eggs over. It was about half an hour before and after. .”

"I was present when she found the body." Murong Jie pondered for a moment, "Did no one see any suspicious people enter the village?"

Mr. Liang was about to speak, when he saw the head catcher come in, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my lord, I have just asked all the villagers, and one of the villagers found that when he came back on Wednesday, a person followed him. He was dressed in black, about 27 or 28 years old, about five and a half feet tall, but at the time it was not certain that he followed Wednesday, but after thinking about it now, he felt that this person had been heading in the direction of Wednesday’s house, which was about thirty feet away from Wednesday The distance follows."

"Can you bring weapons?" Mr. Liang asked.

"Responding to my lord, he didn't bring a weapon. The man didn't seem to be passing by, but he seemed to be following specially. His steps were very light, and he didn't look around."

Murong Jie listened to their report and analyzed it himself. He can basically confirm that this is a murder case.

"Go and investigate, see if there is any grudge with other people on Wednesday?" Murong Jie said.

"Yes, my lord, I will investigate immediately." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Wuzuo hesitated for a moment, and said: "My lord, in fact, I also know Wednesday. He is a dutiful son. His mother has been sick for a long time, and she left last year. These years, their husband and wife have been serving their old mother. The neighbors know that their husband and wife are filial, and, On Wednesday, this person is honest, fearful of troubles, never initiates troubles, even if troubles happen, he endures most of them and gets through, so he should not have any grudges with others."

Mr. Liang glanced at him and said, "Although you know him, you don't know how his personal relationship is? Some things can only be found out after investigation."

"Yes, yes!" Wu Zuo bowed his head.

After leaving the yamen and returning to the mansion, Murong Jie ordered the hidden guards to investigate secretly.

This matter was not that simple, he felt that these two lives were directed at him and Zian.

After Zian fell asleep, he had another nightmare.

She dreamed that Murong Jie was hacked to the point of blood in order to save him. She wanted to run to save him, but she couldn't.

"Zian, Zi'an, wake up!"

She opened her eyes suddenly, covered in cold sweat.

Facing Murong Jie's worried eyes, she was stunned for a moment, then said in a hoarse voice: "Am I having a nightmare again?"

"You kept calling me in your dream." Murong Jie covered her forehead with his big hand, then kissed her lips, "I'm fine, and you are fine, don't worry, I'm here for everything."

"Old Qi, what time is it?" Zian propped himself up, feeling that he couldn't distinguish between reality and dream. Here, it was similar to dream, everything was so real and so illusory.

"It's time to apply."

"Shen Shi? The murder happened yesterday?" Zian didn't know how long he had been in a coma.

"Yes, it happened yesterday." Murong Jie gently helped her up, "Eat something first."

"I don't want to eat!" Zian knocked his head, feeling groggy.

She thought for a while, and said, "Lao Qi, take out the needle for me and pack it here, I suspect that I have been poisoned."
