Chapter 799: A wisp of cold incense breaks people's intestines
"Lord Wang, Xia Guan crossed the river alone to see the prince." Pei Yun still had a smile on his face and replied.
Yang Guang's face suddenly became gloomy, and he was about to attack him, but he heard Pei Yun continue: "Although Xia Guan has not caught a single criminal, he has found out the truth of the assassination case in Tongguangni Temple, and he has come to show the prince." ”
"Oh? What the king wants is conclusive evidence, have you found it? Yang Guang leaned forward, looked at Pei Yun and asked.
"Lord Wang, please take a look." Pei Yun unhurriedly took out a bag from his arms, stepped forward, and presented it to Yang Guang.
"What is this?" Yang Guang took the bag, glanced at him suspiciously, and opened it with his hand.
Before he could see what was in the bag, a cold scent rushed into his nose.
Yang Guangdeng felt dizzy, and he was busy calming down, and looked into the bag, but saw that the small bag only contained a handful of pollen the size of a fingernail, and couldn't help but look up and ask Pei Yun, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Lord Wang, this is the key evidence to uncover the truth of the assassination case in Tongguangni Temple. Don't underestimate this little pinch of pollen, it's an invisible poison that kills people. The prince should return it to the lower officials for safekeeping. Pei Yun said, stepping forward to retrieve the opened bag from Yang Guang's hand.
"Didn't the mind die by the sword of the Assassin? Why do you say that this pinch of pollen is the key evidence to uncover the assassination case of Tongguang Ni Temple? Yang Guang stared suspiciously at the pinch of pale blue pollen in the bag, handed it back to Pei Yun, and asked puzzledly.
"Don't worry, listen to the lower official from the beginning." Pei Yun took the bag from Yang Guang's hand, carefully gathered the pollen in one place, sealed the bag, and put it back into his arms, and then explained to Yang Guang, "A few days ago, the lower official learned the news that the prince had returned to Guangling, but he didn't see the prince send someone to summon the lower official to wait across the river to see him, and later I heard that the prince secretly summoned Feng Xiaoxi to meet in Guangling, or the prince reminded the lower officials to find clues to investigate the case from Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi, the two people who lived in the temple with their hearts that night, so after hearing this news, On the same day, Sima Luo was re-interrogated......"
"Bold, Sima Luo is the queen of the previous dynasty, this king treats her with three points of courtesy, if you don't report to this king, how dare you interrogate her without authorization?" Yang Guang has always had respect for Sima Luo, the former queen of the dynasty who was rescued by him more than ten years ago, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but scold Pei Yundao.
"Yes, yes, although it was an interrogation, the lower official did not torture Sima Luo, but only asked her face to face about the situation in the Tongguangni Temple on the night of the incident, and asked the prince for forgiveness." Pei Yun hurriedly bowed down and said to Yang Guang.
"Go on, what did Sima Luo tell you?" Yang Guang heard that Pei Yun was quite polite to Sima Luo, and his face softened.
After repeated inquiries by the lower officials, and threatening Feng Xiaoxi with the news that the prince had been summoned to Guangling for questioning, Sima Luo was willing to open his mouth to inform the lower officials that on the night of the incident, she and Feng Xiaoxi may have been charmed by the drug in the tea. When Xia Guan asked her why she suspected that it was Xinyi who had charmed her and Feng Xiaoxi with drugs, rather than the assassin who sneaked into the temple to assassinate her, Sima Luo replied that she and Feng Xiaoxi fell asleep after drinking the tea that Xinyi personally sent to them that night, and she was not suspicious of Xinyi at that time, but later heard that Feng Xiaoxi, who lived in the same room with Xinyi on the night of the incident, was unaware of Xinyi's assassination and had been asleep until she woke up, so she suspected that Xinyi might have been different from the two bowls of tea sent on the night of the incident. ”
Seeing that Yang Guang listened very attentively, Pei Yun swallowed his saliva, and never forgot to express his merit to Yang Guang: "Xia Guan got this unexpected gain from Sima Luo's mouth, and when he personally rushed to the clean room where Tongguang Ni Temple lived in Xinyi, he wanted to find clues about the drug from the two tea bowls, so as to confirm that it was indeed the intention that fascinated Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi, and then proved that the lower official did not expect it badly: Xinyi did die by suicide, not by him." But unfortunately, because it was too late to get this clue, although Xia Guan found the two tea bowls in the clean room where his heart lived, he did not get any clues from the two empty tea bowls.
At that time, Xia Guan was disappointed and suddenly remembered that before Xinyi and others moved from Guangling to Tongguangni Temple for resettlement, Xia Guan vaguely guessed that the prince was suspicious of Xinyi's identity, and was afraid that something would happen to Xinyi in Jiankang, so he ordered someone to secretly search her belongings, but did not find any suspicious objects. This shows that if Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi were obsessed with the drug in their minds, the drug she used must have been quietly handed over to her after living in Tongguangni Temple. ”
"Yes, you found out that the person who handed over the drug to the mind is here?" Yang Guang nodded frequently when he heard this, and interjected again.
A smug smile flashed across Pei Yun's face, and he still reported unhurriedly: "Once it was confirmed that the drug used by Xin Yi was given to her by someone else after she arrived at Tongguangni Temple, she became suspicious of one person when she went to the government: Jingxu Shitai, the abbot of Tongguangni Temple. The prince may have heard the report of General Liang Mo, after the lower officials placed Xinyi, Sima Luo, Feng Xiaoxi and other three people to live in Tongguangni Temple, in order to prevent Xinyi from contacting idle people, they were taken advantage of by the gangsters, and specially expelled the original monks and nuns of Tongguangni Temple to live outside the temple, and the only person who was usually allowed to have contact with Xinyi was this Jingxu Shitai.
The prince may have also heard that the original status of Tongguangni Temple in Nanchen is similar to that of Wanshanni Temple in the ancient city of Chang'an, because of this, Xia Guan believes that the abbot of the temple, Jingxu Shitai, can never be a young person, so he made an exception to allow her to have a relationship with her heart, but she did not expect that she would do something to pass poison on behalf of others. ”
"Why, is it really Master Jingxu who secretly handed over the drug to Xinyi?" Yang Guang was really taken aback.
"Speaking of this Jingxu Master, he can really be called a Taoist monk who puts life and death out of the way, if the lower official hadn't discovered it by chance, he would have almost been deceived by her." Pei Yun nodded, exhaled, and praised Jingxudao.
"Tell me quickly, how did you confirm that it was indeed the drug that Master Jingxu passed on to his heart?"
"It's poison, not just drug. When the prince smelled the aroma of this pollen, did he feel dizzy? Pei Yun corrected Yang Guangdao in time.
"Since it is poison, why did Sima Luo and Feng Xiaoxi just fall asleep after drinking tea mixed with this pollen, but they didn't worry about their lives?"
"That's because I didn't want them to die, and the amount of food mixed in the tea was insufficient, so it only caused the two of them to fall into a coma, but not to death."
