Chapter 753 New Clues
Two days later, Xiao He called his two sons.
Since Xiao He became Shang Shuling, he took his family to Xianyang.
His two sons are not young anymore, and it's time to play for Daqin.
Now all the dignitaries and nobles in Xianyang City are thinking about the same thing.
It is to send one's heirs to the army to follow His Majesty the Emperor's personal expedition.
Because of Daqin's system, as long as you enter the army, as long as you perform well enough, you can get military merit.
With military achievements, for these second-generation officials, it is equivalent to rising steadily and skyrocketing.
Xiao He brought his two sons here to explain this matter.
When Xiao He proposed this matter, neither of his two sons refused.
Although it is said that they are not good at force, it is not that they are powerless. For passionate young people of their age, joining the army is more attractive than entering the court as an official.
Moreover, they do not enter the army immediately to go to the battlefield, but to go through a minimum of one year of training.
Moreover, Ying Yu planned to take care of the training of recruits in this year.
This is no secret among Daqin officials.This is one of the reasons why they all want to send their sons into the army.
Everyone knows what this means.
Seeing that neither of his two sons objected, Xiao He was extremely pleased.
It was less than a year and a half since Ying Yu personally led the army to go out.
What kind of results will be achieved by then, no one knows at this moment.
But everyone knew that this time it was bound to be a big move that shocked the whole world.
If you can't catch up with this trend, you will miss the biggest opportunity in your life.
Therefore, during this period of time, people with lofty ideals flocked to Xianyang, or the conscription points set up in various places.
After exhorting his two sons a few words, Xiao He started to get busy again.
He sorted out all the information about Feng Quji's investigation into the cause of death, and began to watch it carefully.
.........
The time came five days ago.
This was the day Feng Quji passed away. He got up early to go to court as usual, and after the court meeting was over, Feng Quji returned home directly.
When approaching the house, Feng Jie, who followed Feng Quji, did not return to Feng's residence.
When Feng Quji returned to his study, he found that the aromatherapy he usually liked didn't smell right today.
After checking in front of the incense burner, I found that the incense inside was not my favorite agarwood, but sandalwood.
The people in charge of Feng Quji's daily life are all old people, and this is the first time such a low-level mistake has occurred.
When something like this happened, Feng Quji's mood was naturally affected, and he called the servant who was in charge of cleaning today.
Seeing that Feng Quji's face was not right, the servants quickly bowed and waited for their master to ask questions.
After all, he is just a servant, so he is not qualified to speak first.
Feng Quji asked directly, "Why did you replace the smoked sauce with sandalwood today?"
When the servant heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times.
Then he immediately said with grievance, "I'm sorry, master, I'll replace it for you right away."
So this servant hurriedly got up and took away the incense burner, and at the same time opened all the windows for ventilation.
Only then did he exit Feng Quji's room.
Until he was sure that Feng Quji couldn't hear him.
Then he began to mutter in a low voice, "It's really strange. When the master went to court, what I added was agarwood, how did it become sandalwood? Could it be that I remembered it wrong..."
But he saw that the incense burner in his hand was indeed sandalwood.
Moreover, Feng Quji's room also smelled of sandalwood, which is absolutely impossible to be wrong.
This person was also puzzled, and replaced all the incense burners with Feng Quji's favorite agarwood on weekdays, and brought them back.
When the servant came back with Chen Xiang, Feng Quji had already left the study.
The whole room was full of smells that Feng Quji didn't like, so naturally he would not come back until the smell was gone.
This time, the servants carefully selected and confirmed that they were correct, and then placed the incense burner with agarwood in Feng Quji's room.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the news of Feng Quji's death came.
This is something that the entire imperial envoy failed to react to.
Because this matter happened so suddenly, Feng Jie returned to the mansion not long after.
After learning about this, he immediately called for a famous doctor in Xianyang to examine Feng Quji's body.
At the same time, people were sent to Xianyang Palace to inform the matter.
The next thing was that Ying Yu went to the mansion to offer his condolences in person.
Not a single stranger came to the imperial envoy's mansion that day.
Feng Quji had never been out, and after learning that Ying Yu was going to investigate the matter, Feng Jie himself asked all the people who had been in contact with Feng Quji that day and interrogated them several times.
What they say, adds up to the reality.
So naturally ruled out the possibility of them lying.
These ordinary servants have been working in the mansion for many years, and they are all old men in the mansion, so naturally there is no possibility of collusion and lying.
Otherwise, the problem is still the same. If there is collusion, as long as there is a leak, the whole incident will be exposed immediately.
Furthermore, with the skills of this group of servants, it is impossible for them to have the ability to collude.
Or if they are people who can do this kind of thing, it is impossible for them to be servants in the mansion for so many years.
Feng Jie also relayed all the information obtained from these cross-examinations to Xiao He.
For these things that he learned from Feng Jie, Xiao He has also deliberated many times.
In the end he found a breakthrough, which was the matter of sandalwood and agarwood in the middle.
Also, after the servants replaced the agarwood, they returned to Feng Quji's room and did not find Feng Quji.
Where did Feng Quji go during this time?
Because Feng Quji died of a heart attack not long after returning to the room.
So to investigate the cause of Feng Quji's death, where he went and what he did during the time he left the study became a key point.
After finding a breakthrough, Xiao He came to Feng Mansion to investigate again early the next morning.
As for Chen Ping, Xiao He negotiated with him to let him be in charge of affairs outside the residence.
Because they had already listed Feng Jie as the first object of suspicion, it was naturally impossible to just listen to his side of the story.
Moreover, when Feng Quji died, Feng Jie was not in the mansion.
During this period of time, what he did and who he met also needs to be found out.
After the two discussed, the investigation of Feng Jie's matter was handed over to Chen Ping.
