The palace is quiet, and the empress of the cold palace is acting as a demon

Chapter 67
When Xiaobai turned into a human form and brought twenty Bei Rong soldiers into the second room of Jin's house to search, Jinfeng almost frantically stopped him.Covered with a veil, she cried out to find his father, and grabbed Xiaobai's arm and said nothing to let him lead the soldiers in.

Xiaobai was annoyed, so he snapped his fingers and pushed her to the spot, then took her to the hospital, and searched the second-bedroom compound to the bottom.

The alchemy furnace incense medicine, the wormwood grass, and the courtyard of the Jin Wen Dynasty are a huge alchemy room.

Not only realgar, cinnabar, saltpeter, sulfur, mercury, poppy, hemp fruit, etc., all kinds of alchemy materials are poisonous and non-toxic.

In addition, countless account books were found in the study room of Jin Wenchao, which recorded all kinds of crimes of embezzling the Jin family's money for private pockets, as well as the records of bribery and bribery of officials at all levels in Liang State, all the way up to Liu Changshan and down to Liyang Officials, the time, place and amount are clearly remembered, and even the amount of incense money sent to the Shangqing every year is also clearly written.

When these account books were placed in front of the table, Ning Yi's clenched fists were creaking.

The reason why Jin Wenchao was very resistant to the idea of ​​selling spices in the Western Regions proposed to Jin Yu, and even led the entire Jin family elders to refuse to cooperate with this plan, was because the Jin family moths headed by him were in the tea and mulberry business in Nanliang. Zhong made a lot of money, and colluded with Liang Guo officials.Jin Wenchao even planned to frame Qin Wan together with the Shangqing faction in order to prevent Beirong from intervening in Liyang's business circles.

These criminal evidences alone are enough for Ning Yi to peel off ten layers of skin and hang him on the city gate for ten years.

On the other hand, Liyang Fu Yin reported that the goldsmith of Jiangbao Pavilion honestly confessed that when making the gold pot ordered by Jin Yu, Jin Wenchao sent two large gold stones for 50 taels of silver. He hid the gold stone in the bottom of the pot, saying that it can save gold and silver and also have health care.The goldsmith only knew that realgar was medicine, and he was greedy for money, so he took Jin Wenchao's money and made two identical tea sets without telling Jin Yu.

Yuan Ying also found the records of Jin Wenyuan's diagnosis from Liyang doctors, and his symptoms were consistent with Jin Yu's confession.

Qin Wan asked Liuying to go to Luling to ask what realgar poisoning was like. Liuying brought back a copy of "Chunyuzi Jindan Benjing" given by Luling, which clearly recorded the symptoms of chronic realgar poisoning. After going back to the place for diagnosis and comparison, it can be basically concluded that Jin Wenyuan died of realgar poisoning.

Now that the criminal evidence is present, Jin Wenchao, who was detained in the Liyang government office, confessed in full.

At that time, Jin Wenyuan lost his wife for many years, and he had only Jin Yu's only daughter under his knees. Once Jin Yu got married, the Jin family property would be inherited by Jin Wenchao after Jin Wenyuan's death.But things are unpredictable, Jin Yu is suddenly pregnant with an illegitimate child.Although Jin Wenyuan was angry on the surface, he revealed in private that if Jin Yu gave birth to a boy, he would pass on the entire Jin family property to this grandson.Therefore, Jin Wenchao planned to kill Jin Yu's fetus.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yu treasured one of the tea sets and did not use them, while the other set was given to Jin Wenyuan as a birthday present.Soon after Jin Yu gave birth to Xi Bao, Jin Wenyuan passed on the position of head of the Jin family to Jin Yu before his death.

After learning about this, Jin Yu locked herself in the room, and even though Xi Bao was crying and begging to see her, she would not come out behind closed doors.

Qin Wan couldn't bear to see Xi Bao, so she held him in her arms and patted his back to coax him.

Tired of crying, Xi Bao hugged Qin Wan's neck and soon fell asleep.

She carried Xi Bao back to the west courtyard, put him to sleep on her own bed, covered him with a quilt, closed the door carefully and walked out of the bedroom.

Ning Yi was waiting for her in the lobby of the west courtyard with a serious expression on his face.

Qin Wan poured him a cup of tea, squeezed his shoulders with his hands, and said with a sigh, "Who would have imagined that so many things would happen to me when I came to Liyang. With Jin Yu's current state of mind, let alone management She might not have the energy to take care of the entire Jin family business, even the children. Who would have thought that a birthday gift that was obviously full of heart would become a tool to kill her father, even if she didn't do it intentionally, just this indirect Responsibility is enough to make her feel guilty for a lifetime. Next, what are you going to do?"

Ning Yi took Qin Wan's hand to let her sit beside him, and said, "I have asked Bai Zixian to come to Liyang quickly to deal with the Jin family's affairs, and the Jin family's property will also be taken over by Bei Rong. The people involved in the case recorded on the Internet will be investigated and dealt with strictly by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the Rong State and the Governor of Liyang Prefecture."

"Then didn't you take over the entire Jin family? It's basically the same as copying the house, isn't it? Just based on this alone, Lord Ning, you've made a lot of money," Qin Wan said in surprise.

Ning Yi smiled and nodded: "The investigation found that the members of the Jin family who were not involved in the case can continue to live normally."

"What about Jin Yu? What are you going to do with her? Anyway, she didn't mean it. You can't really give her a death sentence, can you?" Qin Wan said.

Ning Yi smiled: "I didn't expect you to plead for her again and again."

Qin Wan sighed: "She's actually quite pitiful, and Xi Bao is so young, she can't do without her mother."

"Since you are pleading for her, then she will be spared the death penalty. Let her and Bai Zixian sort out the Jin family's various properties and assets first, and make a decision after the handover is completed." Ning Yi said.

"Actually, even though the business of the Jin family is nationalized by you, you can still hand over the management rights to Jin Yu. After all, she grew up here and learned how to do business. Let professional people do professional things. Don't waste talents." Qin Wan suggested.

Ning Yi pinched her face and smiled approvingly.

While the two were talking, Yuan Ying suddenly ran into the west courtyard: "His Royal Highness, Mrs. Jin committed suicide by swallowing gold!"

"what?!!!!!"

Qin Wan suddenly stood up from the stool, unable to believe her ears.

"Save people!" Ning Yi ordered in a cold voice.

Yuan Ying shook her head: "The gold has entered the belly, the doctor said there is no hope of treatment."

"I'll go!" Qin Wan ran out of the west courtyard with her skirt in her hand, and ran straight to Jin Yu's room.

She ran to Jin Yu's room, at this time the maids were all sitting in a ball crying.The doctor next to him shook his head helplessly.

Jin Yu was lying on the bed, curled up in sweat profusely due to the severe pain, and when she saw Qin Wan, she still smiled: "Ministers see Qin Concubine."

"Why do you behave like this!" Qin Wan sat beside her bed, "I told Ning Yi just now that he has already promised to spare you the death penalty, why do you still do this! Do you know that with this With the medical methods of the era, there is no way to perform a laparotomy to take out the gold letters, and you will die in great pain!"

"Your Majesty, I know." Jin Yu endured the pain and said to Qin Wan in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty can intercede for me in front of His Highness Prince Ning, and even find out the real culprit for my father's death... It stands to reason that I should do it for your Majesty. Repay your kindness like an ox and a horse... But it was my fault that killed my father... In the past few days, I often think of my father's kindness to me, but I have been self-willed since I was a child, and I have failed my father's expectations of me... The most let me What I feel guilty about is that I have made so many mistakes, but my father still forgave me and accepted Xibao. If it wasn’t for this, he wouldn’t have been using the golden pot I gave him to make tea for so many years...”

As he said that, Jin Yu's tears flowed out like injections.

"Mother... In fact, I couldn't bear it anymore... Ever since I was born, everyone said that my mother died because of me. Later, I met the person who understood me and cared about me, but he betrayed me for money. ...from Xibao's birth to his father's death...if it wasn't for Xibao, I really wouldn't be able to live now..."

Looking at Jin Yu's pained expression, Qin Wan suddenly understood her mood.

Not everyone in this world can face the world with a strong heart, perhaps Jin Yu has been trapped in loneliness and pain for a long time.

"Your Majesty, help me send a message to His Royal Highness King Ning. I will give him everything in the Jin family, and I only ask him to treat Xi Bao kindly, and don't let Xi Bao live on the streets and become an unwanted child. Also tell me Xi Bao, mother is useless, there is no way to accompany him for a longer time. Mother is going to meet grandpa underground and apologize to grandpa..."

Qin Wan's eyes turned red instantly, and he took a deep breath: "Jin Yu, it's not your fault...I assure you, no one will blame you, and no one will hurt Xi Bao, don't worry..."

"Concubine Qin, Jin Yu will repay your kindness by tying a grass ring in his next life..." Jin Yu smiled, and then the pain made her expression contort again, and her whole body convulsed together due to the pain.

Qin Wan bit her lip, walked out of Jin Yu's room, wiped her tears and came to the courtyard.

Ning Yi also rushed over at this time, and as soon as Qin Wan saw him, she flew into Ning Yi's arms and began to cry.

Ning Yi held her in his arms, patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, sighed, and said to Yuan Ying behind him: "Go and tell Jin Yu that this king will adopt Xi Bao, so that she can feel at ease. Then tell the doctor, End her suffering as soon as possible."

When Qin Wan heard this, she cried even louder in Ning Yi's arms.
