The content of the chapter begins - > "Look at your panicked appearance, the New Year's Day, what's going on?" Concubine Zhao Xian sat down in front of the dresser, surrounded by trustworthy old people.

"Grandmother, yesterday the Yeguo Mansion sent three people to the yamen to be imprisoned, saying that two of the outsiders had hooked up with the cooks in their mansion to steal Bai Ko's private recipe."

"What's going on?!" Concubine Zhao Xian was stunned for a moment, became angry, and waved her hand to send all the palace maids around her.

"We don't know the specifics, but yesterday the news reached the street because the family members of those three people fought in the prison when they visited the prison, and as soon as we received the news, we started investigating overnight."

"What's up?"

"The check is checked, but the clues are incoherent, the two outsiders are only hired to work, but their families don't know who the employer is, they only say that they left together after giving the family a sum of money, but the strange thing is that one of their most frequent drinking friends in the same neighborhood is called Lin Leren, this person is the brother-in-law of the imperial chef He Jie, this He Jie and Wang Xiaodong are sons and daughters, and this Lin Leren hurried to see He Jie without eating lunch yesterday, but somehow got drunk and came back, fell on the street, and is now lying at home with serious injuries."

Shi Tianqi finished speaking in one breath before taking a deep breath.

Concubine Zhao Xian's eyes rolled a few times, and she pulled out a golden hairpin from her hair and threw it on the table.

"Hmph, what a drunken fall, I'm afraid that someone will be seriously injured! This is a hint that the Yeguo Mansion suspects Wang Xiaodong, but there is no evidence to connect it, and he wants to vent his anger, such a childish behavior is probably Gu Yun's order, and his son Gu Yunan is not so impulsive. ”

"Wang Xiaodong instructed someone to steal Bai Ko's recipe? Is he sick?! Shi Tianqi covered his mouth in disbelief.

"I probably want to vent my anger to myself, didn't Bai Ko save the crown princess with just one sentence, this made the East Palace suspicious of the imperial kitchen and the chef, but Wang Xiaodong didn't know, he thought that after checking that record, he would cover it up, and it would be fine in the future, it must be so, so he had the heart to put it on Bai Ko and wanted to make some trouble for her." Concubine Zhao Xian said, "This guy really can't stay any longer, once the yamen opens the seal to try the case, if the three of them can't bear it, they will confess Lin Leren, and Lin Leren will confess to He Jie, even if He Jie doesn't say anything, and takes everything on himself, Wang Xiaodong, the head chef of the imperial kitchen, will inevitably be involved in the eyes of the sage and lose his existing trust." ”

"After this matter of the crown princess, I didn't plan to keep him, so take this opportunity to give up on him."

"Wang Xiaodong has used this person for so many years, I know too much, I thought I wanted to keep him to the end, but now it seems that the longer I stay, the more dangerous it is, and I can't keep him, otherwise we will have to be implicated sooner or later."

"Grandmother, then let's do it quickly, the imperial kitchen and the food supervisor are on the same line, don't let the saint suspect Shao Yiping all the way from Wang Xiaodong, if Shao Gonggong is taken down, we will really have an arm cut off."

"Okay, you go back and tell your parents, hurry up, you have to make him unable to say a word before the government finds Wang Xiaodong."

"Yes, grandmother, I'll go back and sue them."

"Also, how is the relationship between your brother and Gu Yun now? I don't think they seem to be very close, otherwise Gu Yun has such a big thing around him, why doesn't your brother know any news, do they neither meet nor communicate during the Chinese New Year? ”

"I don't know, I myself have all kinds of socializing every day, I don't know what the situation is on his side."

"Hey, my grandmother only has your pair of grandsons, Bai Ko has made meritorious contributions, Ye Guogong's father and son are quite important in the eyes of the saints, go back and ask your brother to have more snacks, and pull Gu Yun over secretly, and take care of it, not to mention anything else, he has to think about your sister as an elder brother, right? It's not that I haven't seen Gu Yun in the past few days of winter hunting last year, his figure and appearance are what girls love, and if you want to marry him, you have to start as soon as possible, and the concubines who have school-age daughters in the palace have this idea. ”

"Huh? Gu Yun marries a princess?! ”

"Nervous? You're not too young, you're going to get married next year at the latest, and you won't be in a hurry if you get engaged. ”

"It's not up to me." Shi Tianqi squirmed, and quickly cheered up again, "Don't talk about this, grandmother, I'd better go home immediately and take care of Wang Xiaodong's matter first." ”

"Okay, you go back quickly, do it cleanly, and don't leave any more clues that will be tracked down."

"Got it."

Shi Tianqi left in a hurry, Concubine Zhao Xian sat quietly for a moment to sort out her thoughts, and sent someone to quietly inquire about the saint's movements, paying attention to who had entered the palace to meet in the past few days.

Of course, Lin Leren's inexplicable serious injury could not have been done by Gu Yunan, the Duke of Ye Guo, but if he really suspected that Wang Xiaodong was behind his back, this Duke of Ye Guo would inevitably stand up, and it was impossible for Gu Yun to face a seven-grade official of the imperial court, just like when they pulled Zhou Hongshou and Wang Chenan off the stage a year ago, it must be the result of the joint efforts of father and son.

None of these two things are smooth, but I also instructed Wang Chen'an to marry Bai Rui, so that I could control Bai Rui, I never thought that Zhou Hongshou's family had done such a stupid thing back then, and I haven't seen it smart in so many years, but I actually dared to make a big deal and forcibly involved Gu Yun and Gu Yunan, and finally put them in prison by themselves.

On the way home of Shi Tianqi, the saint finished his lunch break, ate tea in the palace, and went to the imperial study to sit down as usual.

The prince and the Marquis of Fuyang, who had been waiting outside the imperial study for a long time, saw the saint coming, saluted and greeted, and entered the room with him.

In the time of a stick of incense, the sage finished reading all the written documents, the confession and investigation of the Yeguo Mansion are real evidence, and the suspect was imprisoned in the prison of Yingtianfu waiting for interrogation after the year, although there is no tangible evidence to question that Wang Xiaodong was the mastermind behind the intention of stealing Bai Ko's recipes, but based on the princess's physical condition that has improved in the past month, it is enough to prove that in the past few months, the imperial kitchen deliberately mistreated the princess in terms of diet, intending to make her body unable to bear the burden of pregnancy, so as to destroy her health and life, murdered the royal heir, and the food records that were not suspicious in the previous investigation have naturally been tampered with, and Shao Yiping, the eunuch in charge of the food supervisor, is likely to be involved.

The saint threw down the paper, his face sinking like water, and his eyes like fierce light.

"Imperial kitchen, Wang Xiaodong, food supervisor, Shao Yiping, bold, bold!"

"Father, those three suspects are important witnesses, and the environment in the prison is bad, do you want to bring them out and take them out to another place for detention first?" The prince built yì road.

"Where to take it? Locked up in your city defense camp? The sage glared at the prince with suppressed anger, "What power does the city defense battalion have to detain civilians?" The yamen seal does not try the case, but you can first ask the suspect for a confession, you hurry up to Yingtianfu, ask the head of the torture room to mention the suspect, and ask for a confession again, and the names of the people mentioned in the testimony will be summoned again, and it will be done overnight, without delay. Wang Xiaodong is just a seven-grade imperial chef, and the murder of the crown princess has no direct interest to him, there must be a behind-the-scenes instigator behind him, act quickly, don't go too late and he will be killed. ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law will go." The prince clasped his fists and hurriedly retired.

Then the sage whispered a few words to Gonggong Xi, and Gonggong Xi immediately began to make arrangements, sending his own cronies to keep an eye on Shao Yiping.

The food supervisor belongs to the inner court, and the imperial kitchen belongs to the outer court, if Shao Yiping is really in a gang with Wang Xiaodong, colluding inside and outside, he is really bold.

The Marquis of Fuyang originally wanted to retire together, but the sage left him to speak, and the New Year should have the appearance of the New Year, and he had to laugh when it was time to celebrate and be happy. End of chapter - >
