After Zhao Xu finished explaining, Chen Pi was a little unwilling to leave the study, glanced at Chu Yu who followed later, and said with red eyes: "I will definitely kill him!" ”

Chu You looked back inside.

Chen Pi knew what he meant, clenched his fists, and strode away.

Chu You didn't say anything else, and left with him, he was going to arrest that Wang Deng tonight, and he had to explain to his brothers.

Zhao Xu in the study watched the two leave, his expression was calm, but his heart was restless.

Wang Deng, he has an impression of this person, and the reputation is really bad, but he has been able to stay by the side of the Empress Dowager Gao for ten years, and he is obviously not an ordinary character who is dispensable.

In case, what should he do if something is asked?

He is still a puppet, what does Empress Dowager Gao really want to do to him, including replacing him, may not be impossible!

A deposed emperor can already be predicted to have a miserable end.

Without waiting for him to continue thinking, he saw Zhao Ji appear at the door with a probe in his head.

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "Have you done your homework?" ”

Zhao Ji immediately ran in, raised his little face, and whispered sneakily: "Official, do you want to do something?"

Zhao Xu was stunned and said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Zhao Ji looked outside and said, "I see that Chen Pi's face is not quite right, as if he wants to eat people." ”

Zhao Xu said lightly: "Give me back to class honestly and do my homework." I'll check tomorrow, and if you can't finish anything, see if I still have a hand. ”

Zhao Ji almost subconsciously hugged his buttocks, and then puffed out his little face, and left a little reluctantly.

Interrupted by Zhao Ji, Zhao Xu frowned, simply didn't think about it anymore, picked up the book and looked at it quietly.

In the evening, after Zhao Xu finished eating, he saw that Chen Pi still had an unwilling and resentful expression, so he didn't say anything, read a book in the study, and waited for time.

In the study, the oil lamp is faint and the light is obscure.

Zhao Xu estimated the time, came out of the study, looked at the guards not far away, and said, "Come with me to see the eleventh brother." ”

The guards sent by Empress Dowager Gao didn't say much, and walked with Zhao Xu towards Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Not long after Zhao Xu left, Chen Pi, Chu You and Chu You's brother quietly came out of the side door, carefully avoiding all possible sights, and walked towards the court bureau.

Wang Deng lived in the Cabinet Bureau.

When the three of them arrived at the court bureau, they were still careful to avoid people, Chen Pi knew where Wang Deng lived, and directly took Chu You to the door.

Hearing the woman's painful voice coming from the door and Wang Deng's wanton laughter, Chen Pi clenched his fists and was full of resentment, and was about to push the door and rush out, but was stopped by Chu You.

Chen Pi's eyes were red, and when he saw Chu You shaking his head slightly, he took a deep breath, the corners of his face twitched, suppressed his anger, slammed the door hard, and said, "Wang Deng, the official family has a word!" ”

Wang Deng in the room was stunned, glared at the trembling girl on the bed, got dressed, opened the door, looked at Chen Pi, frowned, and said, "The official family is talking? So late? ”

Chen Pi wanted to kill him, where did he want to talk nonsense with him, so he turned around and said, "Let's go." ”

Wang Deng glanced at Chu You, who was standing still, and was suspicious, but Chen Pi was indeed Zhao Xu's personal eunuch, so he couldn't think about it too much, so he had to lock the door and follow Chen Pi.

Chu You gave his brother a look, and the man quietly stayed, hiding in the dark outside the door.

It didn't take long for Wang Deng to find that he was caught in the middle, his expression was tight, his heart was puzzled, his eyes were looking left, right, and right, and he didn't know what was going on.

Seeing that he was not walking straight to the Funing Palace, Wang Deng suddenly paused and said coldly, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

Chen Pi turned his head to look at him, his eyes were even more angry, and he glanced at Chu You, and the two of them pounced on Wang Deng.

Wang Deng's face changed greatly, and he shouted urgently: "Save ......"

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was held down by tangerine peel.

Chu You even kicked him in the leg in the back and punched him in the neck.

Chen Pi, the two of them worked together, quickly subdued Wang Deng, and dragged him towards the agreed remote firewood house.

On the other side, Zhao Xu pretended to go to Gyeongbokgung Palace, and when he saw that Zhao Ji was asleep, he turned back.

Back in the Funing Palace, Zhao Xu went directly into the main hall, climbed over the wall in no one's place, and went straight to the hidden firewood room.

The palace of the Song Dynasty was very small, and there were not many eunuchs, so Zhao Xu was careful and easily came to the agreed place.

Zhao Xu entered the door, sat on the stool, and looked at Wang Deng, who was tied up with five flowers, with a blue nose and swollen face.

When Wang Deng saw Zhao Xu, he immediately struggled violently, his eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't stop whining.

Zhao Xu looked at this person and said with an impassive expression: "I asked you a few questions, and answered honestly, do you know?" ”

Wang Deng nodded again and again, his face frightened.

Chu You stretched out his hand and pulled the cloth off Wang Deng's mouth.

As soon as the cloth was pulled away, Wang Deng immediately shouted: "Official, they ......"

boom

Before he finished speaking, he was punched in the chin by Chu You.

Wang Deng was in pain, his eyes were angry, but his expression was afraid, and he didn't dare to shout anymore.

Zhao Xu said: "The first question, what were you doing on the day I fell into the well?" ”

Wang Deng was stunned and recalled: "The villain was ordered to go to the Qingshou Hall to deliver things that day, and he met the official family on the way, and after sending the things, he returned to the Cining Palace, and never came out again......"

Zhao Xu frowned slightly, and said, "You just met me by chance that day?" ”

Wang Deng knew that Zhao Xu had been assassinated, and he also knew that the palace was investigating, looking at Zhao Xu's expression, he suddenly said loudly: "Official, the villain just met by chance, and he walked a few steps with you, and it was not the villain who harmed you......"

"Shut up!" The tangerine peel was full of disgusted low drinks.

Wang Deng immediately closed his voice, looked at Zhao Xu and said anxiously: "Official, the villain met you on the way from Funing Hall to Qingshou Palace, and the villain didn't know about it at other times......"

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Deng, his eyes were pressing, and he said, "You met me on the way to the Qingshou Palace, why is the place where I fell into the well in the Huangyi Palace?" ”

The Huangyi Palace, the Funing Palace, and the Qingshou Hall are diagonally north-south, completely opposite directions!

Wang Deng shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, the villain sees the official family entering the Qingshou Palace, and the others don't know." ”

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Deng, and his heart was full of doubts.

Wang Deng has no ability to deceive him from the Qingshou Hall to the Huangyi Palace, in broad daylight, there are so many people along the way, it is impossible for no one to see it.

In other words, I must have used some method that day, or someone used some method, to avoid everyone's sight, from the Qingshou Hall to the Huangyi Hall, and then I was pushed down the well......

Zhao Xu's eyes flickered slightly, this is not something that ordinary people can do, either he cooperates, or he loses consciousness.

No matter which one it is, the person behind this murder is definitely not simple, perhaps, he is still very trusting and defenseless.

Knock knock

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door.

Zhao Xu, Chen Pi, Chu You, and Wang Deng were all startled, and turned their heads to look at the door.

Chu You hurriedly whispered: "The official family is a mark made by the villain. ”

Zhao Xu raised his chin and motioned for him to open the door.

Chu You walked over and opened the door, and the person outside the door whispered a few words and quietly walked away.

Chu You walked over and whispered to Zhao Xu: "Official, the palace maid in Wang Deng's room committed suicide in shame. ”

When Chen Pi heard this, he suddenly rushed to Wang Deng, pinched his neck, and said angrily: "Brute, I will kill you!" ”
