Chapter 13: Killing
Chu You hurriedly pulled him away, looking at Zhao Xu.
Wang Deng hid aside with some fear, didn't dare to look at Zhao Xu, and said in a low voice: "There are people who die every day in this palace, but it's just a palace maid, nothing ......"
When Zhao Xu heard this, the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping, his eyes were cold, he glanced at Chen Pi, suddenly stood up, looked at Wang Deng indifferently and said, "You are lying!" I obviously fell into the water in the Imperial Palace, but you said that you had seen me in the Qingshou Palace, which is ridiculous! It seems that you are harming me. Chu You, take him into custody, and take him with me to see my grandmother. ”
Chen Pi, who was still angry, was shocked and said, "Official, do you want to see Niangniang?" ”
Wang Deng is the person of the Empress Dowager Gao, if Wang Deng harms the official family, then the mastermind behind the scenes is about to come out!
Wang Deng was even more frightened and shouted: "Official, the villain didn't lie, it really wasn't the villain who pushed you into the well, the official family knows ......."
Zhao Xu walked forward expressionlessly, pushed open the door, and said, "Let's go." ”
Chen Pi and Chu You glanced at each other, both of them looked panicked, and the six gods had no master.
This is, are you going to go to the Empress Dowager for a showdown?
Chu Yu was more open-minded than Chen Pi, and seeing that there was no way out at this time, he directly blocked Wang Deng's mouth and followed Zhao Xu.
Chen Pi gritted his teeth and quickly followed Zhao Xu. There was no further persuasion, and the face was resolute.
Funing Palace, Cining Hall is not far away, Zhao Xu came to Cining Hall late at night, and also arrested Wang Deng, Cining Hall was frightened, Zhou He woke up the Empress Dowager Gao and came to the side hall.
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Wang Deng, who was tied up by five flowers, and turned to Zhao Xu, who was sitting next to her right hand, without moving, and said, "Official, what happened?" ”
Zhao Xu snorted coldly and said, "Grandmother, I remember, it was this Wang Deng who pushed me into the well that day, I arrested him, and asked my grandmother to send him down." ”
Wang Deng was gagged, shook his head desperately, and looked at the Empress Dowager Gao's face full of wrongs, pleading.
Empress Dowager Gao swept over Zhao Xu's angry expression, looked at Zhou He and said, "What do you think should be done?" ”
Zhou He is now in the clouds, and he remembers very clearly that when the official family fell into the water, this Wang Deng was next to him. The Empress Dowager said 'how to deal with it', and there is no question of whether Wang Deng has been wronged.
Zhou He looked up at the indifferent eyes of the Empress Dowager Gao, his heart was slightly cold, and he hurriedly said cautiously: "If you go back to Niangniang, you will murder the official family, the crime will not be forgiven, and according to the criminal law in the palace, you will be killed with a cane." ”
Wang Deng's face was full of horror, his eyes wide open and he struggled desperately, towards the Empress Dowager Gao, Zhou He whined.
Mrs. Gao was expressionless and said, "Then pull it out." ”
Zhao Xu glanced at the Empress Dowager Gao, this grandmother was too rough to even ask?
Zhao Xu was puzzled, and he didn't think much about it, and said, "Grandmother, since it is harmful to me, let me deal with it." ”
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Xu, was quiet for a while, and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhao Xu couldn't guess the Empress Dowager Gao's thoughts, so he could only follow his expectations, looked at Chen Pi, and said, "I'll leave it to you to dispose of." ”
Chen Pi was stunned at first, then his expression was shocked, and he said in a deep voice: "It's an official!" ”
After speaking, he strode over, red-eyed, and dragged Wang Deng out of the door.
Wang Deng struggled violently and whined urgently, where could he have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would become the murderer of the assassin's family, and the Empress Dowager didn't even ask him a word!
He was so wronged!
He's going to die!
Wang Deng struggled desperately, trying to break free and rush in, Chu You kicked him in the chest and carried him out of the door.
When Empress Dowager Gao saw that people were leaving, she looked at Zhao Xu and said expressionlessly: "Is it really him?" ”
Zhao Xu leaned over and said, "Grandmother is wise." He really isn't, it's just that this bastard tortured a lot of palace maids to death in the palace, and it just so happened that I borrowed his life. ”
Empress Dowager Gao stared at Zhao Xu for a moment and said, "How do you use it?" ”
Zhao Xu already had a draft, and said: "The person behind this is a little unusual, and it is not easy to find out. Throw Wang Deng out as a murderer and temporarily close the case. The people behind the scenes will inevitably relax their vigilance when they know it, and there may be flaws, so we will be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, speed up the investigation, and find the real culprit behind the scenes faster. ”
Empress Dowager Gao looked at Zhao Xu deeply, turned to Zhou He, and said, "You heard everything?" ”
Zhou He's heart shook, it turned out to be like this.
He glanced at Zhao Xu without a trace, this official had thought of a good way......
Zhou He took a step forward, bowed down and said, "The villain hears it, and tomorrow he will quietly close this case." ”
Empress Dowager Gao nodded, was silent for a while, and said, "Official, it's too late, go back and rest early." ”
Zhao Xu felt that it was too smooth, and he didn't have time to think about it for a while, so he got up and raised his hand and said, "Yes, disturb my grandmother's rest, and my grandson will retire." ”
Empress Dowager Gao still had an indifferent expression and watched Zhao Xu leave.
When Zhao Xu left, Empress Dowager Gao frowned, said in a quiet tone: "Zhou He, you say, does the official family suspect the mourning family?" ”
Zhou He's heart suddenly suddenly, then he bowed down and said softly: "Niangniang is the grandmother of the official family, how can the grandmother of the grandchildren be harmed in the world?" And how can there be a grandchild who doubts his grandmother's unfilial piety? ”
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at him and said, "What you said is right. The fact that the official family was able to bring Wang Deng here shows that he still believes in the mourning family and does not believe in the rumor. In the end, it has lived up to the hard work of the mourning family for so many years......"
Zhou He didn't dare to answer, this topic was too sensitive.
After a while, Empress Dowager Gao snorted coldly again and said, "The official family is old and knows to be cautious. He was right to do so. Tomorrow I will find an excuse to deduct half of the expenses of each palace, especially that one. ”
Zhou He bowed and said, "Yes." ”
Empress Dowager Gao looked at the dark outside the palace, and was just about to get up, when she suddenly coughed violently, and then the whole person lay on the table, trembling all over.
Zhou He was startled, hurriedly ran up, patted the back of the Empress Dowager Gao, and said, "Niangniang, pass on the imperial doctor?" ”
Empress Dowager Gao waved her hand and coughed violently: "No, the illness of the mourning family is strictly forbidden for the fourth person to know!" ”
Zhou He looked anxious, patted it and hurriedly poured water, and gently fed the Empress Dowager Gao to drink.
Empress Dowager Gao drank a sip of water, and then she felt a lot more comfortable, and her somewhat haggard face had a little more flush, and it took a while to sit up and sigh lightly: "It's okay, just a few more doses." ”
Zhou He knew the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, but he was still not at ease, and said, "Niangniang, do you want to change to the imperial doctor?" ”
Empress Dowager Gao looked out of the door with fierce eyes and said, "It's an eventful autumn, more things are better than less things, and I'll talk about it when this matter is over." Send someone to keep an eye on it, and if there is any more turmoil, directly bring everyone to the mourning family! ”
Zhou He's face tightened, and he said in a low voice: "The villain has already deployed the forbidden army of the front division of the palace, a total of two hundred people, inside and out, all of them have been changed by the reason for the assassination of the official family, if you really want to show your feet, the front division of the palace will take people immediately!" ”
Empress Dowager Gao sat there for a long time, got up and said, "Let's rest." By the way, don't relax on the official side. If there is no movement in a few days, you will call the official family to sleep in the attic outside me. ”
Zhou He said: "Yes, the villain will help you back to the bedroom." ”
Empress Dowager Gao hummed, got up with some difficulty, and walked to the bedroom.
On the other side, Zhao Xu left the Cining Hall and returned to the Funing Palace, his brows furrowed all the time.
Zhao Xu just sat down in the remote area and took a sip of tea, Chen Pi walked in, came to Zhao Xu, his eyes were red, he knelt down with a puff, and said, "The villain thanked the official!" has to take revenge, and the villain has no other thoughts. Chen Pi is willing to go to the soup for the official family, and he will not hesitate! ”
