Imperial Doctor Qian wore gloves, gently probed King Xuan's neck, turned around and knelt down in front of Yan Lie, and nodded his head to the ground: "The regent forgives the sins, the king has gone, has gone." ”

All the imperial physicians immediately knelt down.

Yan Lie exhaled a long breath, and his heart was like a big stone.

Afterwards, all the courtiers and attendants in the palace knelt down towards the head of the bed and were silent.

Yan Lie also knelt down on one knee.

Yan Tao was slightly stunned when he saw his brother like this, and then knelt down.

The hall was silent for a while, and only the candle flame burned quietly.

After more than ten breaths, Yan Lie stood up and sighed: "All the secretaries, please get up." ”

The rest of the people waited for this to slowly stand up and wait for the next step.

With tears in his eyes, Yan Lie said in a low voice: "The situation is delicate, and there is no mourning. I will take over the government affairs for the time being, can you hear me clearly?"

The ministers were stunned, looked at each other a few times, and then bowed in response.

They are all Tongyuan people here, no matter how they plan secretly, they all remember that An Lai is suffering from internal and external troubles at the moment, and the rebellion is imminent. If the news of Wang Xue spreads and is added to the vinegar, then the people's hearts will be shaken again.

There is still a tough battle to be fought in the west, and they have to buy time to arrange the latter items.

"It is imperative to put down the rebellion in Qingzhi Town first. Yan Lie wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Yan Tao!"

Yan Tao stepped forward.

"From now on, counterinsurgency is your responsibility. Yan Lie's tone was solemn, "Track down the poison and arrest the murderer, all of which are left to me!"

"Yes!" Yan Tao also knew that there was no room for bargaining at the moment.

Yan Lie paced back and forth in front of the bed for a few steps before he said, "The clue of the spy, how did it break!"

Speaking of this, Yan Tao was full of shame: "I caught it in the morning, and he was only a few hundred feet away from the West City Gate at that time, and he almost escaped from it." As a result, he took poison on the way back. ”

He said in a low voice: "I finally had to follow the vine and touch the melon, but the result was ......"

If there is no living mouth, there will be no confession.

Yan Lie rubbed his head: "How did you find him?"

He was chased into Mingyue Tower and wanted to hide in Yan Shichu's house, but he was confessed and caught red-handed. ”

Hearing that name, Yan Lie was stunned: "Whose house is it?"

"Yan Shichu, the Qingle Bo who defended the country. Yan Tao touched his nose, "When I first heard about it, I was just as surprised as you, brother." ”

"This person lives in Mingyue Tower?" Yan Lie has been so busy these days that he hit the back of his head with his heel, almost throwing this person out of the clouds.

"I was originally in the post house, but I only moved out ten years ago. Yan Tao lowered his face and said, "What's even more coincidental is that the Geely Chamber of Commerce held a sales meeting, and it was this spy who led him to his seat and led him upstairs." I can see it clearly. ”

Yan Lie groaned: "Last night, the spy was going to deliver the news?"

"Yes, we caught him downline and deliberately handed him a fake message, depending on who he wants to pass it on. "Yan Tao choked his wrist," is fake news about the Jimiao artifact. ”

He went to Mingyue Tower. Yan Lie thought for a while, "Has he been with Yan Shichu for a long time?"

"It didn't take long, at most a dozen breaths, and my people chased it. Yan Tao cheered up, "However, Yan Shichu said that he was fed poison by the other party, and there was no poison until the Xicheng Bureau. The doctor found by the general judge said that he was indeed poisoned, but the heart-saving pills he usually took had antidote ingredients, which delayed the toxicity. By the way, in the end, the doctor found the antidote in the medicine that the spy was carrying. ”

Yan Lie snorted: "Got it." Have you found out the origin of this spy?"

"I found it out, he is a new guy from the Geely Chamber of Commerce, he only came here three months ago, and he has been working in Wangjiang Tower, and he is silent and not very gregarious. ”

When these words were spoken, there was a commotion among several old ministers.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe it at first.

Yan Lie saw that their expressions were indescribable, so he continued to ask, "What else?"

"It was also found out that four months ago, a guy named Wang Shun died in the Geely Chamber of Commerce, claiming that he was out to deliver goods, and accidentally fell off a cliff and died. Afterwards, the family could not find the bones for burial. Yan Tao shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, the Geely Chamber of Commerce issued a very high pension, and the family did not make trouble, so the matter is over." ”

"So generous? Yes, Duanmujing has always been generous. Yan Lie seemed to be talking to himself, and then asked, "Actually?"

The shopkeeper of the jewelry store opposite Wangjiang Tower said that it was only at two o'clock the night before that he saw Wang Shun walking around the courtyard of Wangjiang Tower through the attic window. Yan Tao said coldly, "There are at least sixty miles from Wangjiang Tower to the edge of the cliff where it fell into the sea, can this guy run sixty miles in the middle of the night and then die?"

Yan Lie nodded: "It seems that he died violently, and the Geely Chamber of Commerce concealed the cause of his death." What else did you find out?"

"The spy is to replace Wang Shun's vacancy. Yan Tao exhaled, "I was going to arrest him for retrial, but he committed suicide too quickly, and the poison was too violent." ”

Yan Lie twisted his eyebrows and pondered: "If the medicine that murdered the king is the same as the one that the spy swallowed and committed suicide, why does one take effect slowly, and the other dies immediately after taking it? Could it be that the dosage is different?"

This latter sentence is obviously a question to the imperial doctor.

Imperial Doctor Qian didn't dare to pack the ticket, and replied cautiously: "Lord Wang, we can test and prove it." ”

An old minister stepped forward and asked, "When did the king be poisoned, and he might find out?"

When and how to be poisoned, this is the suspicion of everyone. With the strict security of the Xuan Palace, the other party can still succeed and directly plant the toxin on the monarch!

For Xuanguo, this is simply a great shame.

Imperial Doctor Qian glanced at Yan Lie, and when he saw the latter nodding slightly, he said, "Yes, but it will take time." He paused and said, "The minister is also sure that this poison can penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream. ”

Then the way of Xuanwang's poisoning is not only eating and drinking, but also skin contact. Yan Lie exhaled: "Come, find all the things that the king has touched in the past three days." In addition, the Zhaoming Palace, Chaoyun Palace, and the Imperial Kitchen are closed, and all the personnel are escorted down and reviewed one by one!"

Someone did it quickly.

The ministers had to explain to Yan Lie again, and then they retreated. They are old, but their brains are not confused, and they understand that the regent summoned them today, in addition to seeing off King Xuan, to let these respected old fellows be a witness.

It proves that King Xuan really died of the poison of the Duo people!

No one asked about the succession to the throne, and it was not yet time.

As soon as they walked outside the hall, Tie Taifu rushed to meet him wrapped in frost and cold air, ran to King Xuan's bed and knelt down.

Yan Lie stood aside and said bitterly: "You're late." ”

Tie Taifu's eyes were slightly moist. He is a Taifu, and there is still a full two years of teaching between him and the young son of heaven. "Have you found the murderer?"

"Not yet. Yan Lie said in a condensed voice, "I will personally investigate this case thoroughly!"
