After the palace people recognized that this was Wan Concubine, as if to remedy, they moved a small square couch from nowhere, and gently and carefully lifted Wan Concubine from the cold ground to the couch.

If she hadn't known that Concubine Wan had been dead for a long time, she would have thought that this was a dream that the palace people were afraid of disturbing her.

Shen Ruojiao's face was gloomy, and her eyes fell on Concubine Wan's swollen face.

Yesterday, Concubine Wan was still standing in front of her timidly, holding hands with Cui Guiren to support each other, looking at the corpse of Concubine Liang at a loss, heartbroken, and today she lost her life.

Of the three masters of Suyun Palace, one was poisoned, the seven orifices bled to death, and the other was drowned, soaked beyond recognition in the water.

There is only one Cui Guiren left, will that murderer continue to kill?

Shen Ruojiao frowned and glanced at Cui Guiren.

Cui Guiren lowered his head, tears flowed out, and the rouge was smeared.

Shen Ruojiao sighed and withdrew her gaze.

After a few days, he watched his former friends die one after another, and Cui Guiren must not feel good.

Suddenly sensing something again, Shen Ruojiao raised her eyes again.

Cui Guiren's complexion is very good, no, it can even be said to be radiant.

Suyun Palace had just died two people, two people who were close to her usual friends.

She did bow her head and weep, but she smeared rouge, applied lipstick, dyed her eyebrows, and wore a gorgeous dress.

Yesterday, Cui Guiren didn't wear this outfit, but it was just as gorgeous.

It's too ostentatious, it's really extraordinary.

Noticing that Shen Ruojiao was looking at her, Cui Guiren wiped her tears delicately: "What the hell is going on, why did you say that Sister Wan Concubine was also killed, didn't she fall into the water?"

Shen Ruojiao didn't answer immediately, she looked at Cui Guiren directly, and after a long time, she seemed to smile and said, "Of course, it was the good concubine who told me in a dream." ”

Cui Guiren's expression froze, and he said dryly: "Niangniang, don't joke with the concubine." ”

Shen Ruojiao didn't say a word, she still looked at her, and her eyes seemed to be able to easily penetrate everyone's secrets, which made her feel cold in her back.

"Huh. Shen Ruojiao suddenly chuckled and looked away.

She turned her head to look at the concubine on the couch, the wet water was sticking to her face, and the tips of her hair were still dripping.

Shen Ruojiao stretched out her hand and pushed away the wet method on Wan Concubine's forehead.

In the middle of his forehead, there was a bruise.

Cui Guiren also saw it: "This may have been knocked in the water." ”

Shen Ruojiao raised her eyes and looked at her expressionlessly.

Cui Guiren swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.

Shen Ruojiao squatted down and took a closer look.

The palace people behind him were all shocked.

In this harem, except for the female officials of the Si Xing Bureau, who dares to look at the corpse so closely.

The people in the palace were a little more afraid of Shen Ruojiao.

Shen Ruojiao raised Wan Concubine's hand: "The nails are full of mud, and there are scars left by friction on the palms and fingertips, which are left by struggling to grab something before she died, which means that Wan Concubine was indeed drowned." ”

Cui Guiren sneered: "I'll just say, Concubine Wan must have stumbled and fallen into the water." ”

"It's not. Shen Ruojiao didn't raise her head, and raised Wan Concubine's hand, "There is a scar on the back of Wan Concubine's hand, although it has been soaked in the lake, it is not difficult to see that this is a scar that was crushed by the sole of her shoe." ”

She struggled to climb up, grabbed the shore of the lake with her hands, and left the mud behind, but the killer crushed her hands with her feet, so that she could not get up. ”

Shen Ruojiao clapped her hands and stood up.

"But why didn't she call for help?" Cui Guiren objected.

Shen Ruojiao lowered her eyes, went to see Concubine Wan's corpse again, she brushed away the wet hair on the top of Concubine Wan's head, and smiled: "Because she can't call for help at all." ”

"Wan Concubine also has the scar of being beaten with a stick on the top of her head, she has been beaten by the murderer under the water, Wan Concubine is a native of Yunzhou, a child of the desert, she does not know the nature of water, and can only be drowned alive. ”

"Yesterday there was a heavy rain, lightning and thunder at night, so the murderer's crime was covered up. ”

Cui Guiren gasped and covered his mouth: "Oh my God, this is terrible." ”

"Brilliant inference. A male voice rang out behind itself.

The crowd followed the prestige and knelt on the ground.

Bai Zhen stepped forward, with an indistinguishable look on his face, and Deyong hung his head and followed respectfully behind him.

Shen Ruojiao bowed down, Suyun Palace died two concubines in a row, Bai Zhen should ask about it.

"Shen Guifei wants to close Suyun Palace, but do you know who the murderer is?" Bai Zhen looked at her with interest.

"It is not yet known. Shen Ruojiao shook her head, but her tone was firm, "Ruojiao thinks that the murderer is in Suyun Palace." ”

"How so?"

"I asked the palace maid beside Mei Qizi before, if what Mei Qizi said was true, then the potpourri she concocted was only added to oleander after it was sent to Suyun Palace. ”

And the good concubine did not die of oleander poison, it was the murderer who knew about Mei Qizi's offering of incense, and used Mei Qizi to confuse the public, so the murderer was a person from Suyun Palace, and he was also very familiar with the good concubine. ”

Shen Ruojiao said seriously, and Bai Zhen also listened seriously.

He nodded: "That's right, then send all the palace maids around the concubine to the Si Xing Bureau, so that they can speak as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, the palace maids of Ruixin Hall all knelt down in panic and begged for mercy.

Shen Ruojiao frowned: "Your Majesty ......"

Bai Zhen interrupted her: "Shen Guifei is kind-hearted, of course she can't bear to see the palace people suffering, but I am not so easy to fool, daring to kill two palace concubines is already a heinous crime. ”

The palace maids who knelt on the ground were all pale.

The three gates of the Si Xing Bureau are simply the ghost gates of the harem.

Many palace people who committed crimes and refused to admit to death did not survive the first gate, and they bowed their heads and confessed their sins.

If you enter the second gate, no matter what kind of vicious person you are, you can only obediently tell the crime.

And the third gate, very few people can enter, even if they enter, they will never come out alive.

Shen Ruojiao also came back to her senses, this is Bai Zhen giving her prestige.

The Si Xing Bureau is also known as the Seventh Bureau, which is different from the Sixth Bureau of the harem, the Si Xing Bureau is not controlled by the concubines, is independent of the harem power system, and directly obeys the emperor's orders, specializing in the punishment of harem sinners.

If the palace people saw that Shen Ruojiao was in charge of the case alone, and they could still be lucky and not tell the truth, then now that the Si Xing Bureau has been moved out, these palace people are only afraid that they will be scrambling to prove their innocence.

"This case is related to the royal reputation, and it is not a child's play. Shen Ruojiao bowed.

Bai Zhen stretched out his hand and helped the person up, and there was a temperature in his palm that did not belong to him.

His heart trembled, he withdrew his hand, and coughed lightly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

His tone was as gentle as water, and the coldness and ruthlessness when he shocked the palace people was like two people.

Shen Ruojiao lowered her eyes and brushed away the inexplicable ripples in her heart.

Cui Guiren looked at Bai Zhen, then at Shen Ruojiao, and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
