Chapter 281 Revealing the Truth
Jealousy can change people beyond recognition, when he found Gong Siguang's fierce eyes staring at him frequently, Gong Taoguang didn't say much.

People in the main line are all so domineering, it's useless to talk too much.

But the next moment, his expression changed again.

Because Li Yan looked at him: "Gong Qilang, I'll leave it to you to inform Governor Zheng."

Gong Taoguang's pupils constricted: "Notify Inspector Zheng?"

Li Yandao: "With such a serious attempted poisoning case, the first thing to do is to ensure that Zheng Langjun is out of danger, and the second time is naturally to notify his family."

Gong Taoguang said: "What Li Jiyi said is reasonable, but why me?"

Li Yandao: "Among Zheng Langjun's many friends before, only you wished him and Yan Duzhi a happy marriage for a hundred years. Although it is a word of congratulations, it is not easy to say it. I am grateful, and I am most at ease in entrusting this matter to you."

Gong Taoguang slowly showed a smile: "Li Jiyi is absurd, I really give my friends sincerely, but..."

He sighed: "Li Jiyi came to Luoyang for the first time, so I'm afraid he didn't know the character of Governor Zheng. He is upright and majestic, he speaks one word, and the family style is the most important thing, and this matter is... after all, it's a bit hard to say! Alas, I'm afraid I entered Zheng Mansion, he will also be kicked out, let alone invite him to this courtyard..."

Li Yandao: "No matter how strict Governor Zheng is to Zheng Langjun, his only son is almost poisoned, and he can't ignore it."

"What's more, the murderer in this case knew Zheng Langjun's identity and dared to do this. It cannot be ruled out that it was the revenge of Zheng Shishi's enemy."

"And the crown prince and all the officials are coming to Luoyang soon, and the situation will affect the whole body. I believe that Governor Zheng will definitely put the overall situation first."

Gong Taoguang smiled wryly and said: "I understand Li Jiyi's meaning, but I am humble and light-hearted, so Governor Zheng may not believe such words!"

He cupped his hands: "It's better for Li Jiyi to go in person, Brother Wu and I can watch the people in the hospital, monitor each other, and make sure that the murderer won't have a chance to escape!"

Li Yan shook his head: "I'm not used to leaving the scene halfway. If the murderer is cunning, destroys evidence, or even commits another murder, when I turn back, the big thing will be over."

"How about this, I'll write a letter, and you hand it over to Inspector Zheng. Once he asks, you will inform him of the current situation in detail."

As Li Yan said, he asked his fake mother to fetch a pen and paper, holding the pen in one hand and the paper in the other, and quickly wrote a letter with his signature.

He waited for the ink to dry up, and passed the letter over: "Gong Qilang, go, I'll wait for your good news."

Gong Taoguang took it with both hands, bowed his head and said: "Yes!"

Watching him leave, Gong Siguang sneered: "Li Jiyi, don't be fooled by him, this kid is very sinister!"

Li Yandao: "After all, it is a clan, and you can't write two bow characters in one stroke. Why do you have such a big opinion on your clan brother?"

Although Gong Siguang didn't want to say more, he couldn't help but said: "The side branch is not up to the mark, it's not that I have a big opinion alone..."

Li Yan asked: "Your clan brother, are you very concerned about Chang'an political affairs?"

Gong Siguang thought for a while: "I shouldn't care about it. He doesn't take the imperial examination, and he can't be an official. Why care about those things in Chang'an?"

Li Yandao: "Isn't your family able to get the 'Wang Lang' quota? Why don't you become an official?"

Gong Siguang's face suddenly changed: "Li Jiyi, what I said at that time was also for the sake of cats, it was always a bit exaggerated..."

Li Yan looked at him indifferently, Gong Siguang couldn't continue to quibble, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, let's not hide it from Li Jiyi, 'Wan Lang' can be an official, but where to go depends on the face of the officials, let's just pass it If you don't want to be elected, you should go to a remote county to be a county captain and live your life slowly, how can it be as good as what happened in Luoyang?"

"This is such a rare opportunity for those who have the desire to advance in their official careers, but you are unwilling to suffer..."

Li Yan shook his head: "Okay, let's not talk about this, you told me before, 'I've heard for a long time that Governor Zheng's daughter is quite unique', right?"

Gong Siguang heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "Yes, this little lady is very powerful, she once divorced her marriage!"

Li Yan frowned slightly: "How to say?"

When Gong Siguang talked about the gossip, his eyebrows immediately brightened: "It was about last year. She originally made a promise with someone. Halfway through the sixth ritual, she has already arrived at the collection. She didn't know where to find out that the gentleman of the family On the surface, he is educated and courteous, but in essence he is an ignorant slut. The concubine raised seven or eight wives, and his temperament was quite cruel, so he got into trouble, refused to marry, and tore up the "Marriage Letter", forcing The other party had no choice but to return the "Answer to Marriage"..."

Li Yan asked: "Is this a gossip in the market? Or does it have a definite source?"

Gong Siguang said: "There is an exact source. The matter of tearing up the marriage certificate was said by the man's family's 'deputy envoy'. This Miss Zheng is ruthless. If it were someone else, it would be fine to return the gift of the lottery secretly. Xingyang Mrs. Zheng tore up the marriage certificate, that prodigal son will never want to marry another high-class woman in the future, and he will have his enemies!"

The deputy letter envoy is not an ordinary person. The man chooses two sons with official positions and talents from among the relatives. , Naturally forged a big enmity.

Li Yandao: "Men and women in the Tang Dynasty are married and have equal status. The man conceals it first. If she secretly withdraws and spreads it later, it will become the woman's fault. There are advantages to making trouble, and there are also disadvantages to not making trouble. It's a dilemma."

Gong Siguang nodded: "It's true that both sides are hurting, and no one can please. Afterwards, Miss Zheng was hanged up and beaten by Governor Zheng, but she was still a maverick. Everyone knows the yard when she comes here. Elder Brother He took a prostitute as a concubine. Luckily, she dared... I really admire it, go back and see how she gets beaten!"

Li Yan didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of gloating, and nodded, "This matter is very helpful to the case. Go to the banquet and help me inquire about two things..."

Gong Siguang listened carefully, and said excitedly: "Please don't worry, Li Jiyi, I will definitely ask for you."

When Gong Siguang returned to the table, Li Yan came to the side room.

Dr. Chen prepared a simple soup for Zheng Hui, using local ingredients and ingredients from the back kitchen.

Yan Duzhi drank it first, and when nothing happened, he was slowly drinking it for him. The maidservant Jiuhong was standing on the side, and Miss Zheng was on the other side.

Seeing Li Yan walk in, although his face was pale, Zheng Hui, whose body has recovered a lot, struggled to get up: "Li Langjun, for saving my life, let me pay my respects!"

Li Yan stretched out his hand and pressed it: "Mr. Zheng, you haven't recovered from the poison, so there's no need to do this. I've come here to ask you something."

Zheng Hui lay down again, speaking very fluently: "Please ask Li Langjun."

Li Yandao: "Okay, this case is very important. Zheng Langjun, as the only son of the governor of Luozhou, was almost poisoned to death in Luoyang. If the murderer can't be found, I'm afraid your father will never agree. Let go!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present changed their colors slightly.

Zheng Hui opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and finally asked, "Has Mr. Li found the murderer?"

Li Yandao: "I have some conjectures, but there is no evidence yet. I just simulated the possible modus operandi of the murderer..."

He repeated the method of blowing the suona to apply poison: "Did Zheng Langjun feel anything wrong when he played it before? For example, his lips were numb, and he subconsciously wanted to lick them?"

Zheng Hui was silent, and after thinking for a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "I don't feel that way."

Li Yan stared at him: "Zheng Langjun, are you sure?"

Zheng Hui said without hesitation this time: "I'm sure, I didn't have any strange feelings at the time, it shouldn't be poisoned in that way, my friends are all innocent, and they shouldn't be implicated."

Li Yandao: "If that's the case, then the wine pot is the biggest suspect, that is, in this courtyard, everyone from top to bottom can't escape."

The red face of the servant girl suddenly turned pale, Yan Duzhi gently held her hand, and the two girls remained silent.

Zheng Hui hurriedly said: "It's not them either, they have no reason to harm me, Jiuhong won't, and Yanniang won't!"

Li Yandao: "Then according to what Zheng Langjun said, the suona is not poisonous, your friend is innocent, the jug is not poisonous, and the whole yard is innocent. How did you get poisoned?"

Zheng Hui was silent.

Li Yandao: "Mr. Zheng, let me repeat again, if this case becomes a mystery and the real culprit cannot be found, you should be able to predict your father's reaction!"

Zheng Hui remained silent, his expression becoming more and more ugly.

At this moment, Yan Duzhi suddenly said, "Concubine..."

Zheng Hui immediately grabbed her hand and said sharply: "You have no place to speak here, shut up!"

Yan Duzhi looked at him, his eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

Li Yandao: "Mr. Zheng, I have another question. In your original plan, how did you plan to persuade your father to agree to Mrs. Yan's entry?"

Zheng Hui's face changed again: "This...I..."

Li Yan continued: "The poems you wrote before were so sad and full of the meaning of parting, but then you announced the happy news with Lady Yan, and to put it in a bad way, I thought you were going to die for love right away? "

Zheng Hui's pupils shrank suddenly.

Dr. Chen next to him coughed lightly, stood up and walked out: "The old man is leaving."

Li Yan said decisively: "You can't go."

Dr. Chen's body stiffened slightly: "What does Mr. Li mean?"

Li Yandao: "Because I will reveal the truth next, and this case has something to do with you."

Doctor Chen was expressionless: "Li Langjun, this old man was only invited to detoxify Zheng Langjun, what does it have to do with this case?"

The corner of Li Yan's mouth raised slightly: "It's not impossible that you happened to pass by, but there is a doubt that is hard to explain."

"When you just came in, Lady Yan wasn't surprised at all. Logically speaking, Dr. Chen, as a well-known doctor in Luoyang, is usually difficult to recruit. He happened to appear at this time, and Lady Yan should be overjoyed."

"But Miss Yan's expression at that time was as it should be, as if she knew you were coming, so I have to doubt the extent of your participation in this matter."

"Doctor Chen, if I'm right, sit back."

Yan Duzhi lowered his head, and Dr. Chen also sat back slowly.

Li Yan looked at Zheng Hui, whose expression changed drastically: "There is a saying that crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself is usually a way for women to force men to make concessions, but sometimes when children confront their parents, they can also borrow one or two..."

"You know Governor Zheng, and you know that he will never let you marry Lady Yan, unless you are dead."

"Of course, it's not that he's really dead, it's that he pretended to die for love and was rescued by Dr. Chen who happened to arrive."

"You are not even afraid of death. No matter how reluctant Zheng Zhengshi is, I am afraid he will have to recognize Lady Yan."

Having said that, Li Yan made a conclusion with a bit of weirdness in his eyes: "It is admirable to do such a thing for the one you love, but you are really unlucky, and you were used by the murderer to come here. A fake show is really done..."
