Chapter 753 New Clues
Two days later, Xiao He called his two sons.
After Xiao He became the minister, he brought his whole family to Xianyang.
His two sons are no longer young, and it is time for them to serve Da Qin.
Nowadays, all the high-ranking officials and nobles in Xianyang City think the same thing.
That is to say, he wants to send his heirs to the army to fight with His Majesty the Emperor himself.
Because of Da Qin's system problems, as long as you join the army and perform well enough, you can obtain military honors.
For these second-generation officials, having military merit is equivalent to a meteoric rise to the top.
Xiao He brought his two sons here just to explain this matter.
When Xiao He raised this matter, neither of his two sons refused.
Although they are not good at force, they are not incompetent. For passionate young people of their age, joining the army is more attractive than joining the court as an official.
Moreover, when they enter the army, they do not go to the battlefield immediately, but must undergo training for a minimum of one year.
Moreover, Ying Yu plans to personally handle the training of new recruits within this year.
This is no secret among Da Qin officials. This is one of the reasons why they all want to send their children into the army.
Everyone knows what this means.
Seeing that neither of his sons objected, Xiao He was extremely pleased.
It was less than a year and a half before Ying Yu personally led the troops on the expedition.
No one knows what kind of results it can achieve by then.
But everyone knows that this time it must be a big move that shocks the whole world.
If you fail to catch up with this trend, you will miss the biggest opportunity in your life.
Therefore, people with lofty ideals flocked to Xianyang during this period, or to the recruitment points set up in various places.
After giving some instructions to his two sons, Xiao He started to get busy again.
He sorted out all the information about the investigation into the cause of Feng Quji's death and looked at 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. After the court meeting, Feng Quji returned directly to his home.
When approaching the house, Feng Jie, who followed Feng Quji, did not return to Feng Mansion.
When Feng Quji returned to the study, he found that the aromatherapy he usually loved seemed to smell wrong today.
After checking in front of the incense burner, I discovered that the incense inside was not my favorite agarwood, but sandalwood.
The people responsible for Feng Quji's daily life are all old people. 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 responsible for cleaning today.
After seeing Feng Quji's expression, the servant quickly bowed down and waited for his master to ask questions.
After all, he is just a servant and is not qualified to speak first.
Feng Quji asked directly, "Why did the smoked sauce be replaced with sandalwood today?"
When the servant heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed several times.
Then he immediately said with an aggrieved look on his face, "I'm sorry, sir, I'll change it for you right away."
So the man hurriedly got up and took away the incense burner, and at the same time opened all the windows for ventilation.
Then he exited 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, I added agarwood, but why did it turn into sandalwood? Could it be that I remembered it wrong..."
But when he looked at the incense burner in his hand, it was indeed sandalwood.
Moreover, Feng Quji's room also smelled of sandalwood, which was absolutely impossible to be wrong.
Now the people were confused, so they carried the incense burners and replaced them with the agarwood that Feng Quji usually loved, and brought them back.
When the servant came back with agarwood, Feng Quji had already left the study.
The whole room was filled with a smell that Feng Quji didn't like, so naturally he wouldn't come back until the smell dissipated.
This time, the servants carefully selected the incense burner and placed it in Feng Quji's room after confirming it several times.
But what I didn't expect was that in the afternoon, the news of Feng Quji's death came.
This was something that the entire Imperial Palace was unable to react to.
Because this incident 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 also sent to Xianyang Palace to inform the matter.
What happened next was that Ying Yu personally visited the house to express his condolences.
No stranger came to the Imperial Ambassador's House that day.
Feng Quji had never been out. After learning that Ying Yu was going to investigate the matter, Feng Jie himself called in all the people who had been in contact with Feng Quji that day and interrogated them several times.
What they said adds up to the actual situation.
Therefore, the possibility of them lying is naturally ruled out.
These ordinary servants have worked in the mansion for many years and are all old men in the mansion. Naturally, there is no possibility of collusion in lying.
Otherwise, it will still be the same problem. If there is collusion, as long as there is a little leakage, the whole incident will be exposed immediately.
Furthermore, given the abilities of these servants, it is impossible for them to be able to collude in this way.
In other words, if they were people who could do this kind of thing, it would be impossible for them to have to serve as servants in the mansion for so many years.
Feng Jie also relayed all the information from the cross-examination to Xiao He.
Xiao He also thought over and over many times what he learned from Feng Jie.
Finally he found a breakthrough, which was the matter of sandalwood and agarwood.
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 suddenly suffered a heart attack not long after returning to the room and died.
Therefore, when investigating 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 early the next morning to investigate.
As for Chen Ping, Xiao He negotiated with him to put him in charge of matters outside the government.
Because they had listed Feng Jie as their first suspect, they naturally couldn't just listen to his side of the story.
Moreover, Feng Jie was not in the mansion when Feng Quji died.
What he did and who he met during this period also needs to be found out.
