Chapter 146 Jiang Qingrong, Death

Jiang Qingrong stood in front of the tombstone with a sad face:

"Brother, today is your death anniversary. Rong'er and I have come to see you. Now Rong'er has married a man of her dreams, and everything is fine. You and sister-in-law can rest in peace in the afterlife."

As he spoke, he pretended to casually pick up the bundle of incense he had brought with him, took out three sticks, lit them, bowed, and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the tombstone.

Watching the burning smoke gradually dissipate...

Jiang Qingrong unconsciously held his breath and took two small breaths. Although a small amount was fine, he was still very wary.

If he wasn't afraid of being traced back to him, he would have taken the antidote in advance.

Jiang Qingrong handed Jiang Rong three incense sticks and said, "Rong'er, go talk to your parents."

Jiang Rong pretended to know nothing and took it. He also lit the incense and put it into the incense burner, and told his parents what happened in the past year.

Every time he came to worship his parents, Jiang Rong would talk to them for a long time.

At least half an hour.

Seeing that everything was the same as before, Jiang Qingrong breathed a sigh of relief. All he had to do now was wait for Jiang Rong to be poisoned...

He pretended to look through the pile of sacrificial offerings and said in a surprised tone:

"Oh, why didn't I see the memorial I wrote for my elder brother? I must have left in a hurry and forgot it at home. No, no, I have to go back and get it..."

As he said that, he looked at Jiang Rong and said, "Rong'er, you stay here and chat with your brother and sister-in-law first. I wrote a memorial for my brother yesterday. I'm going home to get it now."

Jiang Rong cooperated, "Then uncle, take care. Xiao Nanxing, see uncle off."

Xiao Nanxing immediately came over to support Jiang Qingrong and took the opportunity to secretly give him an injection.

"Ah!" Jiang Qingrong screamed.

His eyes rolled back and he fell straight down.

"Uncle, uncle, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Rong asked with concern.

Xiao Nanxing immediately felt the pulse and said, "Lord Jiang seems to be overly grief-stricken and has suddenly fainted! Princess, I will go back and prepare medicine for Lord Jiang!"

When the Jiang family guards saw Jiang Qingrong fall, they all surrounded him.

Xiao Nanxing shouted, "Everyone, disperse, don't touch him! For patients who suddenly fainted, do not move them at will, keep them ventilated, otherwise the condition will worsen."

The guards did not dare to be accused of causing the master to become seriously ill, so they stopped immediately.

Xiao Nanxing hurried back to Beijing to prepare medicine.

Jiang Rong and others were guarding near the tombstone.

The range of the long-sleeping poison is about ten feet. As long as you don't stand in the wind, you won't be poisoned.

"Princess, I'm going to call the palace doctor. I'll take my leave now." The leading guard saluted to Jiang Rong.

It wasn't that they doubted Jiang Rong, but they didn't quite believe in Xiao Nanxing's medical skills.

What if Xiao Nanxing makes the patient worse?

You should go home and ask the doctor to take a look.

Jiang Rong had no objection.

A quarter of an hour later.

Jiang Qingrong, who was lying in front of the tombstone, suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices.

"Uncle! Uncle, what happened?" Jiang Rong pretended to be shocked.

One of the guards rushed forward to check the situation and was immediately stunned, "Master... the master is dead!"

…

The Jiang family reported the case immediately.

Soon, Master Shen, who was also the Minister of Justice, came over in person with his men.

At this time, the lit incense had burned out.

After a careful examination, the coroner said, "The deceased died of poisoning. I don't recognize this poison. We need to ask an imperial physician to verify it."

Master Shen quickly sent for the imperial physician who was more familiar with poisons from the Imperial Hospital.

"He was poisoned and fell into a long sleep..." After the imperial physician examined the body, he checked the objects around him one by one and pointed at the remaining half bundle of incense.

"This incense contains a strange poison."

Master Shen immediately asked Jiang Rong, "Who prepared this incense? What happened just now?"

"These are all brought by my uncle." Jiang Rong said with a sad face:

"Just now, my uncle said he was going back to get the memorial text, but he suddenly screamed and fainted. The accompanying doctor checked and found that my uncle fainted due to excessive grief... so he went back to prescribe medicine for him."

Jadeite exclaimed, "Is this incense poisonous? Princess? How are you?"

Master Shen also said with concern, "Imperial Physician, please check on Miss Jiang."

After feeling the pulse, the imperial physician said, "The Crown Princess is indeed slightly poisoned... but the poison is not serious yet. No medication is needed, just rest more."

At this time, Xiao Nanxing, who had gone to prepare the medicine, also came back.

"What? Princess, are you poisoned? Let me take a look!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanxing quickly felt Jiang Rong's pulse, then pretended to be confused and said:

"That doesn't seem to be a problem, does it?"

The imperial physician was an old man with a white beard. He looked at the young man in front of him and said:

"Strange poisons are difficult to identify. Your medical skills are still limited, so it's normal that you can't find it out. Give the Crown Prince's Concubine more nourishing foods in the next few days and take good care of her."

Jiang Rong looked at Master Shen and said, "Master Shen, please find out the real murderer who murdered my uncle."

"Don't worry, Jiang girl. I will definitely give you an explanation."

…

Master Shen returned to the Ministry of Justice with Jiang Qingrong's body.

The guards who came with Jiang Qingrong were carefully screened one by one.

They also arrested the Jiang family's steward and asked him about the source of the incense...

But the manager didn't know either, he only knew that this was purchased a few days ago.

Late at night, Shen's house.

Master Shen stared at the case file, thinking hard.

"Dad, Jiang Rong went to worship with Uncle Jiang, but she was the only one who was fine! Xiao Nanxing even specifically didn't let anyone move Uncle Jiang... I think Jiang Rong is very suspicious!" Shen Wenyuan had a hunch that this matter was related to Jiang Rong.

Master Shen shook his head and said, "Impossible."

"You always trust her, but now we are investigating a case. Even if it is someone you trust, if she is involved in a murder case, she is a suspect!" Shen Wenyuan said righteously.

"Of course I know that personal feelings should be abandoned when investigating a case." Master Shen looked at Shen Wenyuan and said in a deep voice:

"But investigating a case requires evidence. First of all, Xiao Nanxing did not allow Jiang Qingrong to be moved. For a patient, this is completely in line with medical principles. The imperial physician has confirmed it, and they did not know that the incense was poisonous. It is reasonable to make such an arrangement. Secondly, the poisonous incense was purchased by the Jiang family and had nothing to do with her. She was poisoned because of it."

"Besides, Jiang girl and Jiang Qingyuan have always had a deep relationship. There is also no motive for the crime. I think we need to check Jiang Qingrong's enemies..." Master Shen pondered.

Then he looked at Shen Wenyuan again, "You have a deep misunderstanding of Jiang girl. How could she do such a thing?"

Shen Wenyuan could only smile and say, "Dad, you are right. I just made a random guess..."

But I was thinking in my heart that it must be Jiang Rong, he just didn't leave any evidence.

…

Once the news of Jiang Qingrong's tragic death spread, it caused a sensation in the capital.

"I heard someone tried to poison him... but he prepared the poison incense himself. He died tragically in front of his brother and his wife's grave on his brother's death anniversary. One has to wonder if he did something to offend his brother and his wife, and that's why they took him away!"

"Indeed, I also think that the timing of Jiang Qingrong's death is too strange. Could it be that this is retribution for doing something evil?"

"His entire family is dead... This is most likely retribution!"
