Chapter 945 I sell my art, not my body!
Shang Kui answered truthfully: "The Yulin Guards have been keeping an eye on the Su family and have not found anything unusual, but there is something wrong with the Su family's servants."
Xiao Xixi motioned for him to explain in detail.
Shang Kui: "The Su family released a group of servants before, and they returned to their hometowns. Since they went to different places, I sent a group of people to conduct one-on-one follow-up investigations. Two of them have not replied to my letter so far. I suspect that they have met with an accident."
Xiao Xixi: "Who are those two people tracking?"
Shang Kui: "It was a woman named Lin. I later sent a few people to Lin's hometown and found that she had died of illness. I heard that she died suddenly of a serious illness, but the Yulin Guards dug up her body for inspection and found that she was actually poisoned to death."
This is clearly a murder to silence the witness.
Xiao Xixi motioned for him to continue.
Shang Kui: "Mrs. Lin has no children, only a pair of nephews and nieces. They know nothing about Mrs. Lin. This clue is broken."
Xiao Xixi said, "No, Mrs. Lin's death just proves my guess. There is indeed something wrong within the Su family."
As long as we can confirm that there is a problem with the Su family, then the next step will be easy.
Before Yu Jiu left the palace, he forced Concubine Tuberose to take the transformation poison, which turned her into the appearance of Concubine Min. She then died in the fire as Concubine Min.
The direct consequence of this incident was that "Concubine Min" unfortunately died and the whereabouts of Concubine Tuberosity was unknown.
Everyone thought that Concubine Tuber had secretly escaped from the palace.
However, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi knew that the real Concubine Min was Yu Jiu, and Yu Jiu had already escaped from the palace.
Since Concubine Min did not die, then the person who was burned to death in the pavilion at the end of the year must be someone else.
Considering the fact that Concubine Lao has disappeared, the truth is about to come out.
That afternoon, the Yulin Guards, following the Imperial Concubine's orders, opened the coffin of Concubine Min, and Imperial Doctor Fang examined Concubine Min's remains.
The transformation insect hidden in the body of regret has died, and the corpse of "Min Jieyu" has long since returned to its original state.
Even though the corpse had been burned beyond recognition, it was clear from her height and figure that she was very different from the real "Min Jieyu".
Afterwards, the Su family and the Bai family were invited into the palace.
Xiao Xixi asked them to identify the remains of "Min Jieyu".
At first, Bai Haocheng and his wife did not associate the remains with their daughter at all, until they saw that the little toe bone of the right foot was slightly deformed, and then they suddenly thought of their daughter.
Because their daughter accidentally fell when she was a child and sprained the little toe of her right foot. Because the bone was injured, even after the injury healed, the bone was still a little deformed, and you couldn't see it at all if you didn't look carefully.
Once they had the association, the more they looked at the remains, the more they felt that they looked like their daughter.
Mrs. Bai could no longer hold back and started crying on the spot.
She originally felt somewhat resentful towards her daughter. Even if she couldn't survive in the palace anymore, she shouldn't have escaped without saying a word.
Who would have thought that my daughter had actually died a long time ago.
And he died so miserably!
Xiao Xixi was observing the Su family's performance throughout the whole process.
Most of the Su family members were angry at first, because what the imperial concubine dug out were the remains of their Su family's legitimate daughter.
But when the Bai couple recognized that the remains were actually the missing concubine Tuberculosis, all the Su family members were speechless. They all looked puzzled and couldn't understand how things turned out like this.
Some people were so stubborn that they wanted to identify the remains and find the same physical features as Concubine Min.
The result was naturally nothing was found.
There is a huge difference in body shape between Concubine Min and Concubine Lao, and anyone with eyes can see it at a glance.
Even if the Su family wanted to tell lies with their eyes closed, they couldn't.
Bai Haocheng has been in the officialdom for many years and has seen many ups and downs. He knows how terrible human hearts can be when they become vicious.
After a brief moment of shock, he quickly realized that his daughter was dead, but her remains were buried as "Min Jieyu".
So, the person who actually escaped from the palace was Concubine Min, while her daughter, Concubine Lao, was brutally murdered.
Bai Haocheng glared at the Su family angrily and asked harshly.
"Where is Concubine Min? Where did you hide the murderer, Concubine Min? Hand her over!"
Naturally, the Su family would never admit that this matter had anything to do with them.
The two families started arguing.
Bai Haocheng insisted that the Su family give an explanation, otherwise the fight would not stop until one of them died!
This matter involved two concubines and was of no trivial matter. The imperial concubine used her relationship with the emperor to transfer the case to the Dali Temple.
The Su and Bai families, as important suspects in the case, were taken to the Dali Temple for investigation.
None of them can leave the Dali Temple until the case is fully investigated.
Xiao Xixi successfully removed herself and Yulin Guard from the matter.
Next, she just needs to wait patiently for the review results.
During this period, after a joint trial by the three courts, Jing County Wang Luoyan was found guilty of treason.
He was demoted to a commoner and hanged.
The day before Luo Yanzhi was about to be executed, Luo Qinghan decided to see her for the last time.
Luo Qinghan left the palace in a carriage. On the way to the Dali Temple, he happened to see Chu Jian performing the stone-breaking trick with his chest on the street.
Chu Jian performed very hard, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his body and his breathing became a little rapid.
As soon as he finished a performance, he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face. Instead, he put on a bright smile and asked the audience for tips.
When he smiled, his two small fangs were exposed, and his eyes were as bright as the sun, full of strong appeal.
The audience was enjoying the show very much, and coupled with Chu Jian's pleasing appearance, they couldn't help but give him money as a reward.
A woman who was about thirty years old suddenly reached out and grabbed Chu Jian's wrist.
"This young man looks young and has a delicate and tender figure. He must have been raised in a pampered environment. But now he has come out on his own to do such a low-class job. Could it be that something happened at home? You can talk to me. My family has a small fortune and maybe I can help you."
After saying that, she deliberately rubbed the back of Chu Jian's hand with a very ambiguous look in her eyes.
Chu Jian got goose bumps all over his body from being touched.
He hurriedly shook off the woman's hand and took two steps back, alert like a frightened deer.
"Lady, please respect yourself. I sell my art but not my body!"
Many people around saw this scene and smiled knowingly.
The woman's maiden name was An.
An's husband died in an accident a few years ago, and she became a widow.
There is now a tavern on this street.
Because she was quite pretty, and she was very open-minded and had quite a business sense, her wine shop business was doing very well and she saved a lot of money over the years.
