In the open space of the main courtyard of the Jin Palace, men, women and children, tall, short, fat and thin, more than 30 people lined up in four rows, making the originally wide and bright courtyard also seem cramped. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What the hell is going on, why did you call us all?"

"It seems that Princess Yan called out, saying that the person who was spreading rumors outside was among us. ”

"What? Who is so bold? She won't be punishing us for a while, will she?

"I don't know, this Princess Yan and Her Royal Highness must be angry now, if you don't get it right, we will all suffer. ”

“……”

Gao Xun is generous and friendly by nature, and he is rarely harsh and harsh to his subordinates, so although these maids in front of him all bow their eyebrows and look honest and respectful, they are secretly whispering, and their eyes are still glancing at Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Xun in front of them from time to time.

The typical is the hateful face of the long-tongued women who gather to chew the root of the tongue.

However, just before calling these people, Cheng Jinzhi had already looked through the list of the origins of these servants in Steward Liu's hand in advance, wanting to find some clues from them, so as to narrow down some of the scope for himself.

Although there was nothing wrong with these subordinates' files on the surface, fortunately, she was still sharp-eyed, and after going back and forth several times, and confirming that no one had left the palace during this time, there were still a few people who caught her attention.

In the six years since Gao Xun grew up and lived in the palace with a knighthood, almost all the subordinates in the palace have been selected to stay in the palace since then, and only a few people have been added here for some reason.

If everything is really as Cheng Jinzhi expected, the prince is behind the blame......

As we all know, the intensifying battle between Gao Heng and the crown prince has only happened in recent years, and he could not have been so prescient and sent people to the Jin Palace's palace six years ago to lurk in the shadows, just in case of emergency.

Therefore, the few maids and servants who came to the palace later to work are very suspicious.

And it just so happened that the servant girl who followed Gao Xun when he was in the side hall before, which made Cheng Jinzhi feel a little suspicious, also happened to be among these people at this moment.

However, thanks to this total of thirty-two people, if it is three hundred and twenty, then Cheng Jinzhi has not finished reading them all, and his mind is already a mess that cannot be opened.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you see that you are alone, but there are so many people serving you, it is really enviable. ”

Cheng Jinzhi whispered in a mocking tone, but Gao Xun, who has always liked to quarrel with her, did not refute this time, but whispered suspiciously: "Jin Zhi, is the person you are talking about really among these subordinates in my mansion?"

"It stands to reason that it should be true. ”

Cheng Jinzhi nodded lightly, lowered his voice vigilantly, and his face didn't look like he was joking at all.

"Anyway, instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, being sneezed by thousands of mouths every day, it is better to be a dead horse and give him a try. ”

As soon as the words fell, she took a few steps closer and glanced at everyone roughly, and saw Liu Yibai, the housekeeper of the Jin Palace, walking beside him with a grin.

"Princess, everyone in the Jin Palace's palace is here, even the groom who is usually responsible for feeding the horses in the stable has called you. ”

"Steward Liu has worked hard. ”

Cheng Jinzhi showed a polite smile towards Liu Yibai, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that everyone was still talking, and he couldn't help frowning.

"What are you all talking about, or tell me and Your Highness to hear it. ”

Suddenly hearing Cheng Jinzhi's slightly displeased voice, everyone stopped talking in awe, and closed their mouths one by one, not daring to say anything more.

Seeing that everyone was already silent, Cheng Jinzhi instructed Liu Yibai and said, "Steward Liu, don't you have a roster in your hand? ”

"Huh?" Liu Yibai tilted his head and said suspiciously, "Points... Roll call?"

"Just call all these people by name. Cheng Jinzhi explained unhurriedly, and suddenly raised his voice, "Liu Yibai-"

Liu Yibai was about to open the roster, but when he heard that his name was called, he hurriedly responded: "The little one is here." ”

"yes, that's it. Cheng Jinzhi nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the people in front of him, his eyes were gloomy: "Because it is said that this thief has a weak heart, and he has no confidence in shouting out." ”

Hearing Cheng Jinzhi's words, the crowd couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and a sense of tension suddenly began to brew around them.

Before they fully figured out what this Princess Yan was thinking, they were all in place with a guessing mentality, and they were actually a little apprehensive in their hearts.

And now that she suddenly heard Cheng Jinzhi mention what she was a thief with, she immediately understood that she really wanted to find out the rumor-mongering person from among them, and she became even more panicked for a while, everyone was in danger, lest she would be the object of suspicion or even wrong, and become a scapegoat for others.

After all, these people in front of you are powerless and humble, if the master insists that you did it, you have no way to explain it, let alone resist.

Even, it is possible to lose your life in vain.

However, in fact, the reason why Cheng Jinzhi asked Liu Yibai to do this was not because he really wanted to hear any clues from the shouts of these subordinates, nor was he deliberately embarrassed.

Her purpose was just to match their faces with the names on the roster one by one, so that she could know in her heart.

Especially the few objects that caught her attention, she had to clearly lock on the target and focus on observation.

So, in order to prove their innocence, the subordinates in front of them, who were threatened by Cheng Jinzhi's sentence of "being a thief", were all ready to behave in front of their masters.

"Fan Cheng. ”

"It's in, it's small!"

"Li Xu. ”

"It's me, it's me, it's me!"

"Mingxiang. ”

"The slave is Mingxiang!"

"Autumn fruit. ”

"Slave Qiushi has asked the princess to say goodbye!"

“……”

After finally listening to this "huge and ingenious" roll call, Cheng Jinzhi rubbed his temples that were a little swollen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these subordinates in the palace were too competitive.

One screamed louder than the other, and the other spoke longer than the other.

When Liu Yibai shouted to the last little guy named Zhao Si, he even told himself in detail about his life and experience, if Cheng Jinzhi hadn't stopped in time, he would probably have to talk about it for half an hour.

"I don't know if you're satisfied, princess?"

Liu Yibai's flattering voice came to his ears, Cheng Jinzhi came back to his senses and nodded with a strange smile, looking at the people in front of him whose identities were already clear and clear, his eyebrows moved slightly.

After a while, Fang said slowly.

"Looks like I already know who I'm looking for. ”
