Chapter 88: Death of Princess Anyang



"Why, do you dislike my daughter? Huh?"

Dark One...

He doesn't dare!

But he felt that he was about to become a wet nurse!

He had a sad face and retreated hesitantly!

He thought, the master is so cruel! This must be a punishment for him!

After Yu Jinzhi returned, he quickly reviewed the case that night and interrogated several important suspects, including Shi Xiuqin, Wang Er, and Feng Yong who had surrendered again.

Soon, the whole matter came to light.

The old lady Wang was separated from the old Duke of Anguo when the country was in chaos, and lived alone with her mother-in-law.

Later, he felt that his mother-in-law was a burden, so he found a way to throw her into the mountains to fend for herself.

Because she was good-looking when she was young.

She was rescued by a man named Shi from a small county town. She lived with that man and gave birth to Hua Changxiao and later Shi Xiuqin.

It is said that Hua Changxiao was the eldest son of the old Duke of Anguo, and it was also because Hua Changxiao was born prematurely. He was born in the seventh month of pregnancy with the surname Shi.

In fact, Wang himself was not quite sure of his true identity.

Later, when Wang met a wandering fellow villager, she learned that the old Duke of Anguo had fought in wars with the current emperor and had become a general.

Wang didn't want to be displaced and live in fear of her husband dying in battle. So she didn't go to find the old Duke of Anguo. But she kept an eye on the news about the old Duke of Anguo.

When the old emperor established the Great Sheng Dynasty and the old Duke of Anguo was conferred the title, she thought about going to find him.

But she was discovered by Shi, who wouldn't let her go and locked her up.

A few years later, Shi saw that Wang no longer wanted to escape, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance.

Wang used her savings to bribe a guard in Yizhuang. She secretly bought three bodies, one large and two small. She then set the house on fire and burned Shi along with the three bodies.

Everyone thought that all four of them were dead. She even started a fire nearby, burning down the homes of her neighbors who knew her.

In addition to the man with the surname, three neighbors also died, a total of eleven people.

Afterwards, on her way to Beijing, Wang entrusted her youngest daughter Shi Xiuqin to a farmer's family in a small village and then continued on her way.

When they arrived at Bianjing City, they found that Duke An Lao had married Princess Anyang.

She did not go to the old Duke of Anguo, but directly struck the drum to report the incident, which alarmed the emperor.

Only then did An Laoguogong know that Wang was still alive and had given birth to his eldest son. At that time, Hua Changjue was already five or six years old.

Wang cried about how hard it was to support her mother-in-law and take care of her children over the years. She also cried about how the old Duke Anguo was fickle.

At that time, the Great Sheng Dynasty had just been established. The household registration was incomplete. Many things could not be checked. No one checked. Wang successfully deceived everyone.

The old emperor respected his wife and felt that it was not easy for a woman to support her mother-in-law, observe mourning for her, and take care of children in troubled times.

So Wang was made the principal wife, and Princess Anyang was demoted to a co-wife. In order to balance the relationship and comfort Princess Anyang, Hua Changjue was directly conferred the title of the heir of the Duke's Mansion.

Ten years later, not long after Hua Changjue got married, the old Duke died of an old wound from years of fighting. Hua Changjue became the Duke of Anguo.

A few months later, Princess Anyang also died of complications during childbirth due to excessive grief, leaving two lives lost.

On the surface, Wang was gentle and kind to Hua Changjue's family, but she was scheming against them behind their backs.

When Yu Jinzhi once again asked Yunluo and the others to record their statements, Yunluo and the others confessed truthfully this time.

It was explained that he was deceived by the old lady and faced personal threats, so he had to drug Hua Lingxuan.

He also admitted that the excessive dosage that day was arranged by the old lady! She wanted to poison Hua Lingxuan to death. She wanted to make room for Hua Changxiao and Hua Lingcong.

The old lady also tried every means to support the useless Hua Lingyi, so that he would make mistakes and not be able to inherit the Duke's Mansion.

In this way, the position of Duke Anguo can only fall into the hands of Hua Changxiao's family.

They brought Liu back specifically to destroy Hua Changjue's reputation and make the emperor dislike him.

This time, Yunluo Yunqiao also revealed everything they knew about the old lady and Hua Changxiao, even if they were just rumors, and exaggerated them all.

The most serious incident was when the old Duke passed away due to illness. Princess Anyang was also heartbroken and died of dystocia not long after.

But in private in the West Mansion, several old servants said that Princess Anyang was most likely killed by the old lady.

Yu Jinzhi had been solving cases for many years, but he was also shocked by the old lady's audacity. After all, Princess Anyang was a member of the royal family.

Anyone who dares to murder the royal family is committing treason.

He did not dare to delay, and went straight to the palace early in the morning as soon as it was light to report the case to the old emperor.

When the old emperor first heard what the old lady had done, his face darkened.

Later, she heard that Princess Anyang's death was actually related to her. She immediately threw the teacup beside her.

"What a vicious woman! For the sake of justice, I have made her my principal wife. I have wronged Anyang by making her my concubine!"

“I didn’t expect that she would dare to kill Anyang!”

The emperor was really furious this time. He thought that the old lady and her family were challenging the royal power and were dissatisfied with him as the emperor.

"Go check it out for me!"

"If it's really related to that vicious woman! Take him out and tear him into pieces!"

Yu Jin was shocked and dared not to be negligent.

That morning, as soon as Hua Changjue went to court, he surrounded the entire Anhou Mansion.

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang directly carried Hua Qingqing, who had just woken up, to see Yu Jinzhi.

"Master Yu, what are you doing?"

Yu Jinzhi was very polite. He took a step forward and spoke in a low voice.

"I investigated all night last night and found that the death of Princess Anyang should be related to the old lady!"

"The emperor is furious, so this time, I am here to try the case!"

Jiang was shocked, and then tears started to flow.

"What, the princess..."

Yu Jinzhi pursed his lips. "Don't make it public yet. Madam, please help me call out all the people who have served the old lady!"

Yu Jinzhi thought about it and said again.

"It would be best if everyone who had contact with her could come here!"

Jiang nodded!

"Sir, please follow me!" As he said that, he took Yu Jinzhi to the West Palace.

The maids and servants in the West Mansion have been in a state of panic recently. Some of those who didn't sell themselves secretly ran away with their belongings.

Jiang didn't care. She took Yu Jinzhi and the officers and soldiers behind him and went straight into the West Mansion.

When Hua Lingling saw Jiang coming, she and the others were terrified and looked at Jiang timidly.

"Aunt, is there some misunderstanding? Grandmother is being wronged, right?"

Hua Qingqing looked up, glanced at her, and thought.

[Your grandmother killed my grandmother! She also killed my aunt!]

[How dare you say she is wronged! ]
