chapter 2

The maid was tied up with many scars on her body and had slap marks on her cheeks. She thought that after the incident, she was taught a lesson by the Marquis' family. Her clothes and hair were now messy, and she was pushed and kneeled down. She could still tell her face and look beautiful.

Tang Fan: "Who is your last name?"

Maid: "My maid is named Alin."

Tang Fan: "You can explain tonight's situation in detail."

The maid sobbed and told the whole story.

The story of what she said was actually very different from what Zheng Fu said. The only difference was that Alin kept saying that he did nothing with Zheng Cheng in the house.

Zheng Ying sneered: "You spare no effort to get rid of yourself. I ask you, how could you, a person who serves in the front yard, run to the back yard for no reason and pass by the eldest son's yard? This is obviously the idea of ​​flying to the branch and turning into a phoenix. Who knew that now that people are dead, you can't wait to separate yourself from each other! When I broke in, you were still out of clothes when you waited for the two of them. Even Zheng Fu said that he had stood outside for at least one stick of incense. Do you still dare to say that nothing happened? Could it be that I wanted me to find someone to check you before I could tell the truth?!"

Alin cried and said, "Mr. Marquis, I am honest with the young master. After entering the house, the young master first said that he was very hot and started taking off his clothes. When he said he was dizzy, I helped him sit down and said something. As he said that he was suddenly overwhelmed by the young master. Later, later... Zheng Fu broke into the door!"

Zheng Ying was too lazy to argue with a little maid, so she looked at Pan Bin: "Mr. Pan, look, this slut is still dead and never pleads guilty. It seems that he is going to work as a laborer to come forward!"

Pan Bin hurriedly said, "Don't worry, if the death of the young master is really related to her, the subordinates will enforce the law impartially."

Zheng Ying was obviously a little dissatisfied with this perfunctory answer.

Pan Bin winked at Tang Fan.

Tang Fan asked Zheng Fu: "Is there any difference between what Alin said just now?"

Zheng Fu: "The villain doesn't know what happened after the young master and Alin entered the room, but other things can be matched."

Tang Fan: "How long did it take between when you went out and when you came back?"

Zheng Fu: "About about a quarter of an hour."

Tang Fan asked Alin again: "Has anyone ever arrived during this period?"

Alin: "No."

Tang Fan: "Mr. Marquis, I don't know where Mr. Zheng's body is?"

Zheng Ying: "It's in the room."

Tang Fan: "I want to enter the inner world and see."

Zheng Ying: "Please give me a gift, Lord Tang."

At this time, the coroner had arrived, so Tang Fan went in with him.

The two of them pushed the door open, but there was still a mess inside.

Zheng Cheng was lying on the bed, his clothes were messy and his body was still a little warm, but his face was pale and he had long lost his breath.

The coroner squatted beside the corpse, spread Zheng Cheng's eyelids and mouth, and then reached out to fumble on his limbs for a while.

Tang Fan looked around and searched, and saw that the coroner was still there, and asked, "What are you finding?"

The coroner hesitated for a moment: "No obvious external injuries were found, but it seemed that he did not die suddenly due to an acute dysfunction..."

Tang Fan nodded, frowned slightly, and then looked at the body.

Coroner: "What have you discovered?"

Tang Fan: "Go out first and talk about it."

The two got up and went out, Zheng Ying and Wei Yu were waiting outside. When they saw them coming out, they asked, "How?"

The coroner said lightly, and how dare he speak first, he looked at Tang Fan.

At this time, Tang Fan handed a white porcelain bottle he had just picked up from the bed to Alin: "Is this thing yours owned?"

The maid shook her head repeatedly and denied it.

He asked the servant Zheng Fu again, who stuttered for a long time and finally admitted: "The pill in the bottle is called 'Fuyangchun', which has the effect of strengthening the yang and nourishing the kidneys. The prescription is the prescription collected by the young master himself, and the medicine is prepared by the medicine shop outside."

Zheng Ying was angry and hated when she heard this. She kept looking for joy all day long. She even used such medicines to cheer up at a young age. If the person hadn't been dead, he would have been so eager to hang up the unfilial son and beat him.

At this time, he was more and more sure that his son was about to have sex with the maid and suddenly died of sudden illness from yang loss. He wished he could immediately raise his sword and kill the bitch who seduced the master's family.

Tang Fan poured out the pills in the porcelain bottle and sniffed it. After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "Marty, where is the family of the young master? Who have you ever contacted tonight? Please bring those people here, so the rest can retreat."

Zheng Ying didn't know what he wanted to do, but she was still very cooperative. After a while, she summoned everyone.

Zheng Cheng has a wife and three concubines, but it doesn't seem to be many, but this is because he likes to look for wild flowers outside. No matter how beautiful a woman is, he gets tired of it within three days. So since he was fifteen, there are only four women who can stay by his side for a long time.

The wife Zhang Sun is the niece of the Yingcheng Bo family. She also comes from a noble family. Her family is about the same family as the Marquis of Wu'an. It was a beautiful thing for a family to be a match. Now, Zhang Sun is only in the age of Hua Xin, but she has become a widow. With Zheng Cheng's fickleness, logic is that even when he was alive, the relationship between husband and wife would not be much better. However, Zhang Sun is a well-known virtuous person, and even Tang Fan had heard of her reputation.

At the moment, four wives and concubines were standing there, and the rest of the three of them all lowered their heads to wipe their tears. Only Zhang Sun's face was pale and silent, with tears still on his face. I thought that he was too sad and could not cry out loud. Even Zheng Ying comforted him gently: "Wife, you have been married into the Marquis' Mansion for five years. You have served your parents-in-law like your biological parents. You are extremely filial. On the contrary, my Zhang family has let you down a lot. Now that my unfilial son has gone early, he has not left any bloodlines. I should discuss with my in-laws to take you back to your parents' home, so as not to let you down!"

Zhang Sun said in a hoarse voice: "Don't say too much, father-in-law. As a wife, she should do her duty. Now I just hope that my husband can be buried as soon as possible."

Zheng Ying sighed and stopped talking.

In addition to Zhang Sun, the other three concubines' boudoir names are Wanniang, Huiniang and Yuniang.

Wanniang is the oldest, half-old Xu Niang, the first to follow Zheng Cheng, and she came in earlier than Zhang Sun. She is also honest and low-key, and she usually has a low presence in the Marquis’ Mansion.

Hui Niang has the best appearance and has been favored for a while before.

Yu Niang is so beautiful when she is young. Before Zheng Cheng dies, she is the most favored among her wives and concubines.

The three of them are also performing differently now.

Wanniang hid behind Zhang Sun and cried silently, Huiniang cried loudly, Yuniang could not cry loudly than Huiniang, but she had a unique charm that moved people's hearts, which was not the reason for being favored.

People like Tang Fan who are good at observing, even if others don’t say it, he can see that the two favored concubines Hui Niang and Yu Niang must be less peaceful, and it is definitely common to be jealous.

Tang Fan took out the white porcelain bottle and asked if they had seen it. All the women and women denied it.

When asked where they were when the incident happened, the four female relatives also explained it clearly, and there were family members and servants as evidence, which was not like a false statement.

Zheng Ying looked at Tang Fan for a long time and couldn't help asking: "What else does Lord Tang have to ask?"

He believed that the evidence of this matter was conclusive, so there was no need to ask again and again. He took the stubborn maid back and was punished in just a few seconds. Why bother to attract irrelevant people to ask? Could it be that he still wanted to make the maid innocent?

Tang Fan said: "All the ones that should be asked have been asked, and I would like to ask the Marquis to talk to the Lord of the Mansion."

Zheng Ying asked the others to go back to their rooms and invited them to their study.

Zheng Ying: "If you have anything to say, Lord Tang can say it straightforwardly."

Tang Fan: "I dare to ask the marquis, is the young master weak since childhood?"

Why do you ask irrelevant questions?

Zheng Ying suppressed her displeasure and replied: "Not bad."

Tang Fan: "Did Zeng Yan's doctor? What does the doctor say?"

Zheng Ying: "The doctor said it was a problem caused by the womb, and it was a bit congenital inadequacies, but it was not a serious problem."

Tang Fan: "It is probably because of this that the young master is extremely thin and his offspring is difficult?"

Zheng Ying: "Yes, what exactly does Lord Tang want to say?"

Tang Fan: "If I'm not wrong, it may be strange to the death of the young master."

Zheng Ying was stunned: "Why do you say this?"

Tang Fan: "An acute illness of yang deprivation is also called Ma Shangfeng. If rescue is not enough, you will die suddenly. Doctors believe that this is caused by qi and yang deficiency. If you have this disease, a red circle will appear on your palm, and red tendons will accumulate over time, and it is not without warning. However, when I checked Ling Gongzi's palm just now, I did not find this symptom."

Zheng Ying was not slow to react and shuddered: "What do you mean is my son's death? "

Tang Fan did not answer this question and continued: "If you die from an acute illness due to yang deficiency, open your eyelids and you can still see bloodshot in your eyes. This phenomenon cannot be found in the young master Ling, so I asked the marquis whether Ling is born with thinness. I think although Ling Gongzi is a little lacking in kidney energy, it has not yet reached the point of being fatal. However, because of her daily love for women, this makes people misunderstand."

There are more than one or two people who misunderstand it. Even Zheng Ying himself thinks that his son died of excessive indulgence?

Zheng Ying was frightened and angry: "Who is so bold that she wants to harm my eldest son of Marquis Wu'an?!"

Tang Fan: "When I went in and checked in, I found that Mr. Ling was very clean and had no stains. This shows that what the maid Alin said was not false. Nothing happened to both of them. Since Mr. Ling did not die of yang, there must be another reason. Moreover, Mr. Ling felt dizzy after taking 'Fuyangchun'. Perhaps the problem lies in the bottle of medicine in my hand. However, these are just one-sided guesses. This matter must be concluded after being found out."

After saying this, he asked again: "What enemies do you have in your daily life?"

The shock and anger gradually subsided, and Zheng Ying was silent.

Zheng Cheng, a playboy, can there be any enemy that will never end?

But it is impossible to say that there is no at all.

Not to mention the other person, Zheng Ying himself has more than one child, Zheng Cheng, and there are three wives and four concubines in the huge marquis' mansion, and many inner houses are not worthy of being told by others. The Ming Dynasty law did not stipulate that the eldest son could inherit the title. If there was no legitimate son, the other sons could still inherit the title after being enthroned by the court, which made Zheng Cheng the target of public criticism in the mansion. It would be fine if he was said to be successful, but he still lingered in Huaxiang all day long. How could other brothers convince him?

Furthermore, like Zheng Cheng, Tang Fan was still teased by him when he was walking on the road, not to mention those who were powerless and favored by him. If anyone was resentful and wanted to take revenge, it would not be impossible.

In addition, the playboys are jealous and fight when they get angry, so it is common for them to make enemies.

Thinking of this, there are too many possibilities and there is no way to guess.

Seeing that he was depressed, Pan Bin said, "Marty, this matter must be alarmed by Your Majesty. Before Your Majesty issued the order, Shuntian Mansion will also try its best to investigate and arrest the real murderer to order the young master to the heavenly spirit."

Zheng Ying nodded: "Then there will be Lord Lao Pan."

Marquis Wu'an himself grew up in the high-gate courtyard. He had always known that in order to compete for favor and title, the inner houses were no less soft than those adults in the court. Many of the ruthless methods were even more sensational. If it was found out that the murderer was really a member of the Zheng family, it would be a big joke.
