Chapter 234 Overnight Investigation
Jiang Xinyu and Xiao Yuan didn't sleep because they were doing... serious business.
It was the dead of night and He Zhang and Prince Xiao had already started playing chess with Zhou Gong.
I don't have a certain life, so what else can I do if I don't sleep late at night?
Lord He used all his strength to try his best to win the imperial examination and finally squeezed into Ye Xiao's room. Unfortunately, he had not succeeded yet and could only sleep peacefully.
Ye Xiao was woken up from his sound sleep and was so angry that he had to thank He Zhang for his good temper and coax him to put on his clothes.
Xiao Douzi was smart. When he came here to report the news, someone else had already gone to the East Factory to transfer people.
It wasn't a big deal since there was someone on duty there. By the time the two young masters had dressed and washed up, they would be there soon. A group of people went to the Jiang family in a mighty manner.
The Jiang family's house was brightly lit at this moment. Jiang Wanqiu, dressed in plain clothes and with red and swollen eyes, played the role of a distraught young lady to perfection.
Ye Xiao knew what kind of person she was and she was too lazy to even pretend to be polite.
He gave her a cold look, then businesslikely had everyone brought over.
He Zhang took the coroner and the poison master from Dongchang Shura Hall to check the house.
Jiang Huai just turned 40 and is far from being as exhausted as Lao Mai. His probability of dying from a cold is more than three times higher than that of a cold.
The wind cannot blow just because anyone wants it to.
Or maybe they have been hanging out in places of entertainment for a long time and their bodies have been drained by aphrodisiacs.
Or the old coffin that should have been buried is unwilling to accept its age and is being excessively dissolute.
Judging from the current information, Jiang Huai does not meet any of the requirements, so the way he died is somewhat intriguing.
The coroner's autopsy report will be out soon.
Jiang Huai did die of a stroke, but the symptoms were clearly due to drug use.
The people from Shura Hall also quickly detected aphrodisiac ingredients in the incense, but the type was not enough to cause such serious consequences.
He Zhang also had someone take some blood from Jiang Huai for repeated testing.
My goodness, this guy took at least three strong aphrodisiacs at the same time.
It's funny to say that there are different ways to take drugs. If you are exposed to small amounts of drugs for a long time, you will gradually develop drug resistance.
As long as you are in good health, it is no big deal to play a little occasionally.
Jiang Huai was not a frequent visitor to brothels, nor was he used to this kind of thing for a long time, but he ended up trying something big right away and no wonder he brought disaster upon himself.
Ye Xiao interrogated all the people in the Zhang family's inner house one by one, even Liu, who was bedridden, was questioned.
Liu was so angry that he wanted to seek justice from his clan.
When her father died, Jiang Xinyu, as a daughter, not only did not come to pay her respects, but she also let her son humiliate her father's concubine, younger brother's sister-in-law and her aunt.
Could it be that after becoming a marquis' wife, she no longer recognizes human ethics?
Ye Xiao smiled coldly, "Madam Liu, this hat is too big.
My grandfather passed away suddenly. My mother cried so hard that she passed out. How could she come to pay her respects?
Besides, it's too early to express condolences now.
My grandfather was in good health but died suddenly in such a way. It would be truly unfilial if the person who killed my grandfather were allowed to go unpunished."
Jiang Wanqiu quickly supported Liu and pinched her quietly, then said to Ye Xiao with a sad face,
"My aunt and my father had always loved each other very much, so my father's sudden passing away made me sad.
I hope Master Xiao will forgive me for any inappropriate words. We also hope that the truth will be revealed and our father will be avenged."
Although Jiang Wanqiu looked sad, he spoke neither arrogantly nor humbly and clearly.
Ye Xiao nodded lightly, always feeling that there was something strange about her.
This ordeal lasted the entire night. Considering Jiang Xinyu's reputation, Ye Xiao issued a gag order to everyone and told them not to spread the news.
It’s a pity that there are neighbors on both sides, and the news of Jiang Huai’s death spread like a gust of wind.
Jiang Huai was not sick and Dongchang came to his house in the middle of the night. Although people outside didn't know how he died, they guessed that it was not a good death.
The Jiang family's relatives pretended not to know about the lawsuit and waited until the case was closed and the Jiang family sent a notice before visiting them.
The skinny horse, who was well-known for his reputation in Dongchang, became weak in the knees when he saw this, and told everything he knew without hiding anything.
She did light the aphrodisiac incense, but it was a familiar recipe and the most common product in their business.
This is a ten-year-old brand that has been approved by thousands of perverts. It can increase sexual pleasure without causing any harm to the body. I have never heard of anyone getting instant erections using this.
Jiang Huai's servant also confessed.
Lord Jiang had been having sex too frequently in the past six months and was feeling a little exhausted, so he secretly bought some aphrodisiacs from a brothel.
This has been going on for nearly half a year, and the ones I chose were mild, so I guarantee nothing will go wrong with the flower shop.
Soon Jiang Huai's roommate also found out some things.
In the past, when Jiang Huai and Liu were deeply in love, they promised more than once that they would never take a concubine, so the five or six concubines in the mansion were only called "tongfang" and had no official status.
Later, somehow there was a rumor that only those who were pregnant could officially become concubines, otherwise they would be nameless concubines for the rest of their lives.
These people immediately put all their efforts into seducing Jiang Huai to go to their room.
After all, the Jiang family doesn't have many secrets, and they all know how beneficial it is to have a child.
It is not the benefit brought by Jiang Huai, a fourth-rank official, but the benefit that can be brought by Jiang Huai’s eldest daughter.
In the past, the marquis' wife had planned to adopt a son to continue the family line of her mother's legitimate son.
Because Liu had a bad relationship with the eldest girl and the young master didn't make any progress in the Imperial College, the matter was delayed.
If they gave birth to a son, as long as they pleased the old man and the eldest daughter, if the child was registered under the name of the late wife, they would get endless benefits.
This actually sounds ridiculous, but how much knowledge can a few illiterate maids have? They actually believed it without a doubt.
With such a big fish hanging around, several people are vying for its favor, otherwise Jiang Huai wouldn't be so overwhelmed that he has to rely on the secret medicine of the brothel for support.
As a result, Jiang Huai never entered their rooms since that skinny guy came in.
Yanhong, who was originally the most favored, became more and more anxious.
She finally got the chance today and called Jiang Huai to her room. In order to make it happen, she even put some aphrodisiac and pregnancy-aiding drugs in the wine.
As a result, after drinking wine and eating food, when they were about to get down to business, the skinny horse acted like a demon again and seduced the old man away.
Yanhong was so angry that she smashed the tea set and cursed harshly, but she didn't dare to stand up to Jiang Huai, whose temper was getting worse and worse, so she could only accept her fate.
Jiang Huai didn't know that Yanhong had added something to his meal. Afraid that he wouldn't perform well and the beauty would dislike him, he secretly swallowed a pill to increase his virility.
As a result, when I arrived at the beauty's room, she was still lighting aphrodisiac incense.
Now things got really serious. The three drugs started to tear each other apart in Jiang Huai's body, and he became a puppet controlled by the aphrodisiac.
Jiang Huai, who had been in a state of irritability recently, was like a male dog in heat. After being tormented several times in a row, he finally died.
After finding out this result, Ye Xiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
If we want to characterize this matter, then the most appropriate four words are:
It's fate.
What Yanhong had given was just an aphrodisiac powder which was not considered poisonous and was also commonly used by concubines and aunts.
If Jiang Huai hadn't died, it wouldn't have been a big sin.
The aphrodisiac incense that Shou Ma used was also a common commodity. Even though Jiang Huai died in her bed, it couldn't be entirely blamed on her.
As for Jiang Huai, he is dead so it is useless to say anything.
The most realistic way to deal with this matter is to let Yanhong and that skinny horse pay with their lives.
If no one is really investigating, this wouldn't even be considered a murder if the family handled it themselves.
