At this time, Magistrate Zhang came with his men.

Jiangzhou was large and prosperous, with a full staff of government officials. Among the people there were female doctors and female coroners.

We can't leave it exposed like this. The princess has already arranged a room nearby.

Mr. Hu just held Yang Rushi in his arms, neither moving nor letting go.

King Wu's face was as pale as the earth, suppressing his emotions, and his voice was cold, "Mr. Hu, take the lady to the next room, we need to let the doctor take a look... The garden has been sealed, the murderer can't get away."

Mrs. Hu's twin maids came in, and with tears in their eyes, they helped Mr. Hu carry Yang Rushi into the house.

The female doctor looked at it first, and then the coroner checked it. A simple glance revealed the cause: death by poisoning.

Mr. Hu was as dumb as if he hadn't heard anything and didn't react at all.

The King of Wu felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife, and with gloomy eyes, he first went to look at the princess.

The Princess of Wu was no less shocked than the King of Wu.

She sighed inwardly, and stood up to King Wu and said, "I chatted with Madam Hu for a while, and then, Madam Hu saw that I had to meet some guests later... so she said she would go out for a walk first. I thought it was good to chat with someone, so I didn't stop her."

This time, King Wu didn't think it was the princess who did it, unless she was really crazy!

She is good at keeping a low profile, making careful plans, lying in wait, and then suddenly striking. After being married for several years, I really didn't know she was capable of such a move.

Yes, I can’t do anything to you now, but this account will be settled one day! Suddenly, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, something unusual has been discovered!"

…

Qi Wulang is the man who chased Wen Yu just now.

Today, he entered as a guest, then found a place, took off his outer clothes, revealing a black tights underneath.

It was he who first discovered Mrs. Hu who had fallen to the ground. She seemed to have been poisoned, so he went after the woman in black.

However, he was in a garden full of women, and he had to hide from the King of Wu's secret guards. He dodged left and right, took a detour, and waited until he found the woman in black.

I vaguely saw a woman in green, who seemed to be holding something and running away quickly.

There was no one around, so he went to check.

The black-clothed woman drank a lot of poisoned wine, and the poison took effect quickly. Under the great pain, her eyes could no longer see clearly. She looked at Qi Wu and murmured, "Sir, it was Yang Ru who let you down. You don't have to be sad for her. You...be careful of King Wu. What I said is true, and I have evidence. Don't hate Jingya...Jingya is really kind to you...I wrote it in the letter...and gave it to you..."

"Where is the evidence?"

"Who did you give the letter to?" Qi Wu asked.

But the woman in black could no longer answer and kept mumbling, "Mu Bo, Ling Ling... Ling Ling..."

I don’t know who is calling.

The letter, could it be that the letter was in the woman just now? He smelled a pleasant fragrance...somewhat familiar. So he chased in the direction of the woman in green.

He ran and jumped, and finally caught up with her and grabbed her, but she...

Bad luck!

He looked at the row of small teeth marks on his hand and thought angrily, I’m born in the Year of the Dog!

Something that could be found flew right before his eyes. He could not delay any longer, so he ran back to the place where he hid his things, changed his clothes, destroyed his mask, packed everything up, and walked out in a carefree manner, just in time to meet Sun Ji, "Fifth brother, something happened!" Sun Ji looked nervous.

"What's wrong?"

"That peerless beauty... is dead! Oh my God! Beauty is so envied by God!" Sun Ji sighed to the sky, shaking his head, feeling truly heartbroken.

And voices came from all directions, asking everyone to stand still and not move.

…

The King of Wu walked over there in a hurry.

One of the twin maids also followed briskly, feeling anxious, angry, regretful and afraid.

The two of them were standing outside the main gate, but the lady went out through the side door.

I didn't even know the lady had come out! I just saw a woman in black lying on the ground.

The female coroner went over to check and replied, "Your Highness, sir, this woman is dead. She was also poisoned. It seems that it was the same poison that Mrs. Hu was poisoned with."

The King of Wu angrily asked the people in the garden, "Who is the manager?"

A female official knelt on the ground, terrified, "Your Majesty! I am in charge of the back garden."

"Who is this person?" King Wu pointed.

"Your Highness, this person is not from our garden!" She fell to the ground.

"No?! Then how did she get in?" King Wu was furious. He went over and kicked her hard, "Drag her away for questioning!"

Someone immediately picked up the steward and took him away. She didn't even dare to beg for mercy.

The twin maids recognized Xiao Jingya at a glance, Mr. Hu's admirer...

But she said nothing and walked back.

King Wu's face turned pale and his heart was broken. For a moment, he felt that life was really boring. What's the point of fighting for her if she is not here? The maid returned to Mr. Hu, and he was still the same.

Just next to him, there came a man in his fifties wearing blue clothes, with ordinary looks and three long beards.

The maid came up to the man in blue and said softly.

Mr. Hu was like a madman, he hugged Yang Rushi and ran away: "A Ru! A Ru...I'm the one who hurt you!"

For him, running with someone in his arms was nothing, but at this moment he was completely crazy and was about to fall out.

A shadow flew over and held him up. It was the man in blue, and no one saw how he got there.

"Sir, be careful not to hurt your wife!" he said sincerely.

Mr. Hu collapsed, screaming like a wolf: "Ah! Ah!"

The man in blue sighed and pressed the back of his neck. Mr. Hu immediately lost consciousness and passed out.

…

Zhang Jiangqing from the prefect's family had been busy with his father and happened to pass by the Wen family's seat.

"Mrs. Wen!" He bowed to the old lady and then to the girls.

Old Mrs. Wen liked him very much and said softly, "Jiang Qing, I just saw my mother. You haven't seen her for a while!"

"Oh, old lady, you are picking on me! It is my fault! I will come to visit you more often in the future, please don't find it annoying!"

Old Madam Wen asked, "Haha, I'm so happy! Have you figured out... what's going on over there?"

"We still need to investigate the specific situation. But don't worry, Mrs. Wen. I think we'll let everyone go back in a while."

"Oh, thank you for your hard work, Magistrate Zhang. Oh, what are you talking about..."

Old Mrs. Wen has been thinking: Then, the princess will not receive us again, right? "Sister Yu, you are not scared, right?"

Zhang Jiangqing couldn't help it and went over to ask Wen Yu.

Yes! Gentle words from the heart.

"What happened?" she asked in a low voice.

"Mrs. Hu...something happened, but now we know who the murderer is!" Zhang Jiangqing whispered to her.

"Ah?! Who?"

"It seems to be a relative of the Hu family."

"Have they caught him?" Wen Yu was scared to death. It was over. If she was caught and tried, she would have to give herself away.

It’s over, it’s over, I’m going to die.

"Dead... committed suicide by taking poison! Don't tell anyone else." I'm only telling you.

"Ah?! Why?!" Although Wen Yu was shocked, she also felt relieved...

"I don't know! Anyway, Mr. Hu's people recognized her!"

…

The guests all calmed down.

But things became a little tense afterwards.

The reason was that the man in blue saw that Mr. Hu was too excited, so he knocked him unconscious and had someone send him away.

Then, he wanted to take Yang Rushi away.

But the King of Wu refused.

"You still want to take her away?! No!" King Wu was angry and his momentum was terrifying.

But the man in blue was not at all flustered, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the wife of the head of the Hu family has no reason to stay outside. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"I forgive you! Think about who you are talking to! Can't you listen to my kind words?!"

The man in blue bowed and thanked him: "Your Majesty, please don't blame me! Please think calmly: Madam has entered the Hu family, so she is a member of the Hu family. Her funeral affairs must be handled by the Hu family! Not to mention the head wife of the Hu family, even an ordinary wife would never stay outside!"

"She just said that she wants to hide with her parents! This shows that she doesn't want to be involved with the Hu family. I will take her to bury her myself!!"

"Your Highness, if Madam has this wish, the Hu family will fully respect it. We will definitely be able to discuss a satisfactory solution when we return. Of course, all of this is the Hu family's business, so Your Highness doesn't need to worry too much..."

"How dare you! Her murderer is from your Hu family! How dare you say that?!"

"Your Highness. Xiao Jingya is already several dozen years old. Even if she has a grudge against the Madam and wants to take action against her, she has not been able to get close to her over the years. My husband is about to wake up, and he would like to ask Your Highness how the incident happened in the garden of the palace?" The blue-haired man had a respectful look on his face, but his words were very tough.

"You..." King Wu was so angry that he shook.

If it were anyone else, they would have definitely dragged him out and killed him.

But this is the Hu family! Now, he can't afford to turn against them. Looking at the body covered with a sheet...

He loved her the most in the world, but he had no choice but to marry and have children.

Having lost once, I cannot avenge her.

Now I have lost it for the second time and I still can’t fulfill her wish.

"Forget it! Just take her away!" When that day comes, I'll see how I'll settle accounts with you one by one!
