Jiang Ying's body swayed, and he suddenly remembered that the Sun family certainly had the qualifications to file a complaint with the emperor.

Although he is not as good as the first-class duke of the Duke's Mansion as a third-rank supervisory censor, he is no longer an unknown soldier in the capital!

But why did Sun Bo die?

He didn't die on the spot. After so many days, he is gone. Now they come and say that it is Jiang Yuanlang who died. Even a fool can't admit it!

Jiang Ying pulled Huang Mingquan aside to defend the last sentence.

Huang Mingquan was the emperor's confidant. Rather than running over and yelling at the Sun family and causing a huge mess, it would be better to explain the situation to the emperor through Huang Mingquan.

After hearing her words, Huang Mingquan nodded and shook his head, "Madam Jiang, you saved my life. Even if you didn't say it, I would try my best to lobby for Jiang Sanlang in front of the emperor. But Lord Sun insisted that it was Jiang Sanlang who died. Shuntian Prefecture first sent a coroner to the Sun family to perform an autopsy, proving that Sun Bo did die of beatings that caused internal organ damage. Only then did the prefect order the arrest. Otherwise, even if Zheng Yao had ten guts, he would not dare to arrest people at random."

According to the laws of Southern Zhao, if someone kills someone, he must pay with his life, and if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner.

It was not a period of disorderly and indiscriminate killing.

Of course, there were murders in the officials' families, and several people, concubines, and the like were killed, but they were not a big deal and were relatively reasonable, so Shuntian Prefecture would not ask about it.

However, when an official of the imperial court personally sounded the drum of injustice, the prefect did not dare to neglect it.

"Thank you, Eunuch Huang, for taking the time to warn me. I originally wanted to see you for something, but I can't tell you today. Let's do it another day. I have to hurry home now."

Jiang Ying thought, since the prefect had alerted the police, Sun Bo was determined, and the emperor also knew the situation, there was no room for a private settlement of this matter.

So, the key to the whole thing lies with Sun Bo.

Is it really the third brother who died? We need witnesses, physical evidence and an official autopsy report.

Therefore, what she can do now is to start with these three things.

Huang Mingquan was stunned when he heard this, "Ah? Madam Jiang, why don't you go to the Yangxin Palace and talk to the emperor?"

Jiang Ying, "There's no point in arguing. I have to find evidence. As for the emperor, please trouble Eunuch Huang. If you have any physical pain in the future, just come to me."

Huang Mingquan was ashamed, "Mrs. Jiang, you are too polite. We are taking the medicine you prescribed."

Jiang Ying walked forward quickly with the child in his arms, waving his hands, "Okay, I'll give you more tonic later."

Huang Mingquan, "..."

Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, she turned around and shouted, "Come here, prepare a sedan chair for Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang cooks ice jelly snacks herself, which the emperor likes very much. She also took the trouble to bring the child to see the noble concubine. Please send her out of the palace with a sedan chair. Don't neglect the future Princess Mo."

What he said was true. Besides, as the chief eunuch, he had this privilege.

"Yes!" Xiao Xuanzi nodded her head like crazy, looking so enthusiastic that she almost wanted to pick out the most gorgeous and spacious shoulder bag for Jiang Ying, and add a few more layers of cushions so that she and the child could sit comfortably.

Huang Mingquan was in a hurry to go back, and seeing Xuanzi like this, he felt relieved and handed it over to her!

This was the first time that Jiang Ying didn't have to walk out of the palace on her legs.

Duke's Mansion.

The whole mansion was filled with gloom because of Sun Bo's affair, and the old man was even more worried.

Silent was thinking about who he should ask for help to overcome this difficulty.

When Jiang Yuanyi heard about this, he ran back from the military camp. Now he and Jiang Yuanchen were staring at each other, as if they were caught off guard by the sudden action of the Sun family and Shuntianfu.

Jiang Yuanyi's face was gloomy, and he stood up suddenly, "No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. I have to go to Sun's house to see what tricks they want to play!"

"I'll go with my brother." Jiang Yuanchen also stood up.

Jiang Ying arrived at this time and said in a deep voice, "No one is allowed to go! The Sun family is determined not to let Third Brother go. Not only will it be useless to go, but it will also make us look guilty."

"younger sister!"

"Sister Ying, why are you back?"

Everyone in the room looked at Jiang Ying in shock. Mainly because she was in the palace, they didn't expect her to come so soon.

Of course, we have to thank Huang Mingquan for this. All the people under his command were strong and skilled, and the sedan chair was lifted steadily and quickly, so Jiang Ying was able to reach the Duke's Mansion before dark.

Jiang Ying sat down, drinking tea while telling Siyu, who was holding the child, "It's okay, you and Yinrui can send the child to bed. I don't need you to wait on me here."

Normally, women from the inner court were not allowed to bring anyone with them when entering the palace, but Jiang Ying dragged her child along, so she was reluctantly allowed to bring one.

Therefore, if one of Yinrui and Siyu followed her into the palace, the other would wait in the carriage at the palace gate until Jiang Ying came out and went home together.

Not to mention the children, the two maids are also quite tired.

After the child was carried to sleep, Jiang Ying calmed down and looked at Jiang Yuanchen with burning eyes, "Second brother, let me ask you, did many people see the third brother Sun Bo that day? And after you died, did you really ask Lao Yun to take the injured Sun Bo to the hospital?"

In order to find out the truth about his son's abduction, Jiang Ying learned about what happened that day from beginning to end.

Therefore, if Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanlang were careless and ignored it, she would believe it, but Jiang Yuanchen has always been considerate and has clearly stated that he took care of Sun Bo, so he must have given it to him.

Sure enough, Jiang Yuanchen nodded firmly, "Yes, Lao Yun is a businesswoman, and she is also afraid that someone will die in the building and cause her to close down. In addition, Sun Bo is the son of the censor, so she will definitely not let it go. But when Sun Bo was carried out, his injuries were indeed serious. Third brother... Third brother was covered in blood, and my eldest brother and I--"

At this point, Jiang Yuanchen paused, exchanged glances with Jiang Yuanyi, and then continued, "To be honest, sister, we are not sure how badly Sun Bo was injured at the time."

In other words, Sun Bo was seriously injured and died of his injuries a few days after returning home. This is also very possible!

This is the key reason why the family was at a loss before Jiang Ying came.

Even the thought of Jiang Yuanlang being in prison now made her feel dizzy. "Sister Ying, if Sun Bo really wanted to kill your third brother, then... wouldn't it be a life for a life?"

Lang Ge'er was only eighteen years old, and he would be ten in a month. How could he die at such a young age?

Besides, my son is still on the front line. If I leave the house to her, what will happen?

What will she explain to her son when he comes back?

When he thought of this, Lian Xiao could no longer sit still, and he slammed the table and stood up, "I will go to the palace to beg the emperor. Don't our grandsons want an explanation? I will give you my life in exchange for it!"

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Ying hurriedly supported her and signaled Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanchen to close the door to prevent anyone from listening. "Big brother and second brother, do you also think that Sun Bo was really killed by Third Brother's accident?"

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "I don't know."

I really don't know. Sun Bo was a bloody man with a dull look in his eyes at the time, so it was hard to judge what he looked like.

Jiang Ying helped Lian sit up again, poured her a cup of spiritual spring water to calm her down, and poured some for the two brothers as well, deliberately slowing down his speech, "So, I can't understand it this way, that is, when you saw that the third brother stopped having sex, you were not dead yet? As for whether you died later, don't worry about it. Just say that you were not dead at that time, so the second brother asked Lao Yun to take you to the hospital, right?"

The three of them drank the spiritual spring water, their minds feeling dizzy.

I don't know what's the point of Jiang Ying deliberately emphasizing this point.

After a while, Jiang Yuanchen was the first to respond, nodding vigorously, "Yes! My sister is right, when we saw Sun Bo, he was still alive!"

Jiang Ying looked at Jiang Yuanyi, "Where's my brother? Are you sure?"

Jiang Yuanchen blinked, not in doubt, but in confusion, "Alive...alive?"

"Don't stutter, be sure, just live!"

Jiang Ying heaved a sigh of relief and straightened up, his eyes looking past the window lattice at the remnant clouds in the sky, "I heard that there are two main witnesses from the Sun family. One is Deng Er, who invited Third Brother to share the table that day, and the other is Lao Yan from Tianxianglou. There are also a number of miscellaneous eyewitnesses.

"As for the physical evidence, there seems to be a wine cup. At that time, the third brother was furious, and the wine cup fell to the ground and was used as a 'weapon'.

"Then there is the autopsy report by Shuntianfu's own coroner.

"It's easy for Deng Er and Lao Yun to buy it off, but it's not hard to overturn it either. It's just that the autopsy report is a bit troublesome. It looks like I have to take a look at Sun Bo's body in person to know what to do next."

After examining the body, the real reason for Sun Bo's death became clear.

Was he really seriously injured and could not be cured, or was there something else going on? When the court was examining Jiang Yuanlang, the statements made would be very different depending on the situation.

The old man frowned and said, "No, you are a girl, why would you go to see a corpse? You know, the coroners in the government offices do autopsies naked. You—"

Jiang Ying interrupted her, "Grandma, I am the eldest child. In my eyes, there is only illness and health, no distinction between men and women."

"That's what I say, but only some people in the industry believe it. In fact, in the eyes of most people, the only thing they care about is avoiding suspicion and making differences between men and women!" The old man disagreed and spoke earnestly.

Grandchildren are important, but she cannot sacrifice her granddaughter for the sake of her grandchildren.

"Sister Ying, you are engaged, but now you are the King of Mo. You have been through a lot and are in love with each other. Do you want something to go wrong at this time?"

Grandma is actually afraid, is this?

Jiang Ying smiled indifferently, "Grandma, if you want to say something, I may still worry a little, but if it's just for the sake of words, there's no need to worry. You know who I am and what I like to do. You can't ask me to ignore my relatives for the sake of reputation.

"In other words, if you do, then I won't marry you, sir!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade them anymore, the old man became anxious and glared at his two grandsons, wanting Jiang Yuanyi and Jiang Yuanlang to persuade them as well.

However, Jiang Ying's words instantly stopped the two of them!

She said, "Big brother, second brother, besides me, is there anyone else who can do his best to save third brother?"
