The atmosphere in the imperial camp was also tense, regardless of whether the arrow was intentional or unintentional, it was a great crime to shoot in the direction of the camp, and no well-trained soldier should lose his way in the mountains and forests and shoot indiscriminately. 【For more exciting novels, please visit wèn】

And the soldiers who are eligible to participate in the winter hunt are all old fritters, and there are no new hands.

The military department Shangshu promised to investigate well in front of the emperor, and today this arrow flew towards the water's edge, and tomorrow another arrow may fly to the imperial camp, so it is necessary to find out who shot the arrow.

Just when the officials in front of the palace were about to find someone to settle accounts, the chamberlain came in to report that Ye Guogong was coming, and after Xuan came in, the Gu father and son came in together, followed by the imperial guard carrying the broken pot, and the arrow pierced at the bottom of the pot was still there.

After the father and son saluted His Majesty and the adults in order, the imperial guards placed the broken pot on the ground in front of the throne so that everyone could see it clearly.

The officers of the military department first stepped forward to inspect it, broke the shaft of the arrow into two parts, took the arrow off, and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

This look shows the problem, this is not a serious arrow, the bone whistle is temporarily tied to the shaft of the arrow, the arrow is ordinary goods without any marking, from the officer to the soldier use this kind of mass-made arrow, and today's five people hunt, the distribution of this kind of arrow, that is to say, there is no way to find whose arrow it is.

The guarantee of the military department just now suddenly turned into a lie and lie in front of the emperor, if it is a real Ming Di arrow, it is indeed easy to check, Ming Di arrow as a signal arrow, the workmanship is more sophisticated, enough to be qualified to bring this kind of arrow There are a number of people, there are also marks on the arrow shaft, the human arrow matches, it is easy to check, but this ordinary arrow is troublesome.

But it's not without clues.

"Your Majesty, only the craftsmen of the military department can sharpen the bone whistle, and there are not many soldiers who can sharpen the bone whistle, and the craftsmanship is not very good. Looking at the knife marks on this bone whistle, it seems to have been cut out in a hurry, and we did not send a new bone whistle after we arrived here. Therefore, the minister dared to guess what kind of person's private work this was, since it was a private job, it was necessary to avoid the surrounding crowd, so as not to be asked, so he could only sneak and take advantage of the time of personal solitude to do it, it may be to make it at night, but it is impossible to do it all night, which will affect the errand of the next day. So in order to keep a low profile and not be obtrusive, I can only take a little time to sharpen it, and it will take at least a few days to make such a rough bone whistle. ”

The military department Shangshu really circled a range, but the sage did not calm his anger.

"According to Aiqing, this bone whistle was rushed out, so it can be concluded that this craftsman arrived at the camp and only improvised the plan to make a bone whistle, tie it to an arrow, and then shoot it casually from the mountains and forests to the water's edge? Do you think Aiqing is credible? The sage's gaze swept among the ministers, and he had a temperament of not being angry and arrogant.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and they felt inappropriate no matter how they thought about it.

"Gu Qing, I heard that the person who was hit by the arrow was the Bai Ko yesterday?"

"Back to your majesty, it's Bai Ko. Fortunately, she was not injured, she was washing the pot by the water, and the arrow happened to pierce the bottom of the pot impartially, bringing her into the water with the force it bringed, and she was now tidying up. Gu Yunan hurriedly explained.

"Then Bai Ko is still Bai Yehong's granddaughter?"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, is Bai Yehong's youngest granddaughter, who was only saved from exile that year."

"She is worthy of being a descendant of the Bai family, her talent is amazing, her cooking skills are stronger than the men in her family, and the men in her family are still practicing basic skills at home at her current age, and she doesn't know who will have the opportunity to enter the imperial kitchen as an errand in the future. It's a pity that none of the current imperial chefs in the kitchen can reach the height they used to be, and they are all a bunch of waste. ”

The ministers listened silently, not daring to interject rashly.

The Son of Heaven made a statement to Huang Gonggong and took the half of the arrow from the hand of the military department Shangshu and played with it in his hand.

"Gu Aiqing, it seems that it is difficult to make a decision in this matter today, Bai Ko's girl is destined to suffer a crime in vain, go back and wait for her to pack up and call an imperial doctor to take a look at her, prescribe a few pairs of medicines, and I will reward her with some things to suppress her shock."

"Thank you."

"Gu Yun."

"The minister is here." Gu Yun stepped forward and saluted, as a registered prince, even if he did not have an official position, he was also a minister in front of the saint.

"Your camp is at the water's edge, comparatively speaking, closer to the pier, not next to the mountain, and in the case of constant strong winds on the water, the arrows shot from there can fall within the range of your camp, just from this distance it has been shown that you are quite skilled in this way of archery, but the difficulty is that we do not know what the motive of this arrow flying out is, whether it is intentional or unintentional, this matter has become a headless case, you reassure your brothers, tell them not to make trouble."

"Yes, I obey."

The saint looked at the tip of the arrow again, and it was scrapped because it had pierced the bottom of the pot, and it had to be melted down and reforged.

"The pot is made of cast iron, but it has been pierced by an ordinary arrow, so I would like to see it, and I would like to see it, and it would be nice if all the soldiers in my army had this kind of archery."

After the sage sighed, he suddenly shook his wrist, and the broken arrow in his hand went out as if it was rewound, and with a "du" sound, it fell next to the broken pot, pierced the carpet and the backing board below, and the tip of the arrow was completely submerged, leaving only half of the arrow shaft trembling slightly.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials hurriedly saluted together, shouting "Your Majesty xià to calm your anger".

The sage who was in a bad mood withdrew from the ministers, got up and went back to his bedchamber, leaving the civil and military officials looking at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and in the end they could only go back to their camp first, and some things should be said about waiting until the winter hunt was over and returning to the capital.

Queen Ye listened to the news from the palace people, and learned that Bai Ko had suffered a loss, but fortunately she was not injured, and she also felt that although this little girl was unlucky and sympathetic, her luck was also unusually good, so she sent some people around her to send some things to Mrs. Gu.

In Concubine Zhao Xian's tent, the atmosphere was tense, Concubine Xian was lying on the couch and seemed to be quiet, but the handkerchief in her hand was twisted and twisted.

She couldn't figure out what the purpose of this arrow was, the only thing she could be sure of was that it was not her order, and no matter how impulsive she was, it was impossible to assassinate Bai Ko here, although her existence was quite an eyesore, but she just didn't like her to enjoy her life in the Gu Mansion, and she was far from being in a hurry to the point where she had to kill her now.

During the winter hunt, a murder case occurred in front of the eyes of the saint, isn't that tired?

White Ko was already well known, and killing her would have to be done like an ordinary accident, but it wasn't for her to die so differently.

"Is there any reaction in the tent over there?" Concubine Zhao Xian finally threw away the poor handkerchief, and asked her henchman old slave in a low voice, her old girl Kong Chun'er.

"I just sent someone to send condolences to Mrs. Gu."

"Hurry up, we can't be left behind, and send some things, although this matter has nothing to do with us, but we can't give idlers a chance to gossip about us."

"Yes, the old slave will do it."

Kong Chun'er saluted and retired, took the palace maid to get something, and hurriedly sent it to Mrs. Gu
