Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy-Ninth Past Hatred
After experiencing the excitement of King Ning being established as the heir, the hearts of the people who had just sunk began to float again.
This time, it was because a large dose of poison was found on the dowry furniture of the third wife, Mrs. Cai.
That is to say, the third son and the third wife, Cai Shi, are not sick.
The husband and wife could not directly touch the poison, but they slept on a bed surrounded by poison every day.
The dowry maids of the Third Madam Cai's were all arrested and interrogated one by one.
The third wife, Mrs. Cai, was guarded alone.
The Pei family has already sent someone to the Cai family to ask for an explanation.
If the Cai family cannot give a statement, they will report it to the official. Let the government go to the Cai family to investigate, if you don't believe it, you can't find out the truth.
The daughter-in-law's dowry furniture contains poison, which is scary to think about.
How vicious a person would have to be to come up with such a harmful method.
In the past, Taiyi couldn't cure the illness of the third son and his wife, because the medicine was not symptomatic and the cause could not be found.
Now that the cause has been found, the cure will be very fast.
As soon as the symptomatic medicine is used, I dare not say that the medicine will cure the disease, and the condition will at least be alleviated.
Liu Zhao came back from the yamen and heard about it.
He said, "There is no reason for the Cai family to harm their married daughters, and the most likely ones are the dowry maids of the Third Madam. Only those dowry maids have the opportunity to put poison under the bed after years of exhaustion.
However, those dowry maids may not be willing to explain honestly. It would be better to borrow Chang En by his father's side for two days, and let him try the case, and he will definitely gain something. "
Mr. Pei listened to Liu Zhao's suggestion and asked someone to send a letter to King Ning, borrowing Chang En for use.
King Ning was very angry when he learned that the third son was poisoned rather than sick, and that the suspect was the third wife, the Cai family.
He instructed Chang En, "Strictly investigate this matter, even if the Cai family is overthrown, we must find out the truth. All poisons will go to the palace, and next time, will you poison your Excellency Tourmaline? His grandmother's secrets are sparse. Why didn't this king think that the third child might be poisoned?"
Chang En took the order of King Ning, and took people back to the palace, and began to interrogate those maidservants that night.
Chang En came from the Department of Penalties and Penalties.
The means are extraordinary.
It was said that when Chang En came forward to interrogate people, there was nothing he could not interrogate.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the second day, after fighting all night, there was news from Chang En's side.
The person who poisoned it was none other than the third lady, Mrs. Cai's grandmother, Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu was the nanny of the third wife, Mrs. Cai, and later stayed in the Cai family as a nanny, serving by the third wife, Mrs. Cai.
The third wife, Mrs. Cai, was married to the palace, and as a dowry, she also followed.
When they got the confession, everyone couldn't believe that the person who poisoned was actually the grandmother of the third wife, Cai's.
This is a love from childhood to adulthood, why does Xu shi want to poison people?
It doesn't make sense!
"Eunuch Chang, don't betray you and tell us why this Madam Xu is poisoning people?"
Chang En said, "Let's ask the third lady to confront the Xu family."
Princess Pei nodded, "It's time for a confrontation. Come here, invite the third son and the third lady. Tell them that the poisoner has been found. Another person will be sent to bring Mrs. Xu."
Chang En reminded the servants who went to mention Mammy Xu, "Remember to pack up and bring them over, so as not to scare the third son and the third lady."
The subordinates took the lead, and my heart was uneasy.
After seeing the tragic appearance of Xu Ma, I understood why Eunuch Chang En said to clean up first.
The third wife, Mrs. Cai, came to Chunhetang.
Now everyone knows that she is poisoned, not infected with an infectious disease, but they will not despise her like in the past. It's just that he still avoids her and thinks she's unlucky.
It's a lot of failure to be a person, and the grandmother who brought her up will poison her.
The third lady, Mrs. Cai, saw the confession, her body shaky, "No, it's impossible. There's no reason for Madam Xu to harm me. There must be some misunderstanding here."
"No misunderstanding."
Madam Xu was placed on the door panel and carried in.
The third lady, Mrs. Cai, cried and asked, "Mummy, what they said is false, right? You won't hurt me, right?"
"You Cai family and my Xu family have an undeniable feud, so why wouldn't I hurt you." Xu Ma said sharply.
The third wife, Mrs. Cai, looked bewildered, "How is it possible. If you have hatred, how could you be an official in the Cai family? Besides, there is no enemy named Xu in our Cai family."
"That's because your Cai family doesn't care about ordinary people like us at all. I'm not from the capital, I'm from Wuzhou. Twenty years ago, there was a civil unrest in Wuzhou, and the imperial court sent troops to suppress it. The Cai family is your father, General Cai."
With the narration of Xu Ma, everyone learned a secret that had been buried for 20 years.
The people of Wuzhou were in turmoil, and General Cai led his troops to quell the chaos.
After the chaos subsided, the tragedy has just begun.
When the soldiers won the battle, they began to indulge in murder, murder, robbery and rape. What's more serious is that in one night, half a village was massacred.
If such evil deeds were known, the entire army would have no idea how many heads would be lost.
In order to cover up the truth, General Cai simply did not do anything and ordered the slaughter of all the surrounding villages, making the illusion of slaughtering the village by rioters and fooling Shangguan.
Xu Shi was still a young daughter-in-law at that time. She went to relatives on the day of the accident and escaped the disaster.
When she returned home, more than ten members of her husband's family died, and more than a dozen members of her mother's family died.
Overnight, the whole door was slaughtered.
Xu Shi originally wanted to die, but she didn't want to, she was already pregnant.
She traveled many places, came to the capital, and gave birth to a child.
By chance, she became the nanny of the Cai family.
Later, she learned that it was the Cai brothers who led the troops in Wuzhou to pacify the chaos, and she had the idea of revenge.
It wasn't until the third lady, Cai Shi, who married into the palace, that she started to do it.
She made a plan. When the third son died of poisoning, she would stand up to uncover the truth and testify that the Cai family had poisoned the emperor's grandson.
She is the dowry of the third wife, Cai's, and her testimony is very credible.
As long as she testifies, the Cai family can't escape the crime of murdering the emperor's grandson.
When the time comes, the Cai family will go to court. Whether it is dismissed from office or sent to exile, the Cai family will be doomed.
She will also have her revenge.
Mrs Xu glared angrily, "I just want revenge. Your Cai family killed more than 30 members of my husband's family, it's too cheap for me to kill one of you.
I want your entire Cai family to pay for my dead family members and the hundreds of villagers who were killed for no reason.
You are the daughter of the traitor Cai, and everything you enjoy is in exchange for blood donations from innocent people. Don't you deserve to die?
I only hate myself for being too lightly poisoned and for not being able to poison you guys earlier. I am not reconciled! God is not fair! "
"Since you hate me and everyone in our Cai family, why do you still nurture me and teach me patiently? As early as when I was a child, you could kill me without being discovered." Madam Cai cried bitterly and questioned Xu repeatedly.
Xu Shi laughed, "If you kill one girl, the Cai family will give birth to countless girls. What can be compared to killing your entire Cai family.
Do you really think your little girl's life is precious? Pooh! The thirty or so lives of my husband's family are not worth the life of a little girl like you.
I just hate the injustice of God, it made me fall short. The Cai family will not die, and I will not rest in peace. "
Mrs Xu cried to the sky.
Liu Zhao walked in from outside at this time, "Ms. Xu, you said that 20 years ago, General Cai slaughtered the village to cover up the crimes of the soldiers and killed hundreds of good people. Is this true? Do you have any evidence?"
Xu shi looked at Liu Zhao vigilantly, "What about the eldest son? Do you want to punish the woman for the crime of framed accusation? Haha...haha... When I got down and saw the King of Hell, I would also say that the Cai family must not die."
Liu Zhao said with a blank face: "If what you said is true and you can show human evidence and material evidence, it is not impossible for you to take revenge. As long as you can prove that what you said is true, my son promises you to reopen the case file and send someone to visit in person. Wuzhou investigates the truth of the matter, and it will give justice to hundreds of innocent villagers."
"real?"
"What? Big brother really wants to overturn the case for this thief who poisoned and murdered?"
"Once the case is overturned, if it is true as Xu said, the Cai family will not be finished. What should the third lady do?"
Everyone looked at the third lady, Mrs. Cai.
The third lady, Mrs. Cai, staggered under her feet, and only stood firm on the table, "I, I..."
Xu Shi shouted, "If the eldest son is willing to overturn the case for me and seek justice for the hundreds of villagers who died innocently, the slaves will be willing to die."
Liu Zhao said with certainty: "You must poison your grandson, and you will surely die. If the case is overturned, you will be executed after the case is found out."
"As long as the verdict can be overturned, let alone let me die, I am willing to kill me with a thousand cuts." Xu's expression was frantic, and the flames of hatred burned in his eyes.
Mr. Pei frowned, "It's ridiculous! It's all about 20 years ago, what kind of case is overturned. At any time, it's better to have less than one more thing. Boss, you are not allowed to intervene in this matter."
Liu Zhao's face was expressionless, "My son does not agree with what the concubine said. My father was established as the crown prince, and the culprit of an unjust case is in the palace.
If you don't know, that's all. Now that you know, how can you turn a blind eye, won't it damage your father's reputation.
The father is the prince, and all the people of the world are the sons of the father. The people were innocently slaughtered, how could the father not investigate the matter.
As for the in-law relationship between our palace and the Cai family, in the face of national law, it is not worth mentioning. "
"You, you, do you intend to be angry with Ben Gong?" Pei's heart was annoyed.
"If this kind of thing spreads out, the palace has no face at all."
Pei was worried.
Liu Zhao ignored it, and instead looked at the third son Liu Yan, "What is the third brother's thoughts, you may as well say it directly."
Third Young Master frowned and refused to speak for a long time.
