The brick-red palace was covered with heavy snow, and the three little servants hurriedly passed by the Wenshu Pavilion with expressions, and the voices of the two inner servants and eunuchs chattered in their ears.

"The saint doesn't know what's going on recently, what he eats and vomits, he can't swallow anything, our family watches him lose weight day by day, it's really worrying, serving the master for most of his life, now..."

"You keep quiet, how can the holy body say outside, if it is heard by the flag father-in-law, maybe how will he punish us."

"What are you afraid of, soon, the crown prince will ascend the throne, and when the time comes, the master will be changed, do you think the father-in-law of Qi is still favored?"

Hearing this, the three little servants lowered their heads, waiting for the two inner eunuchs to walk by, watching the two fat and fat backs gradually move away.

"Do they really dare to say that now that the great enemy is present, they actually dare to talk about the monarch's illness because they are afraid that others will not dare to step on the snowshoes at the palace gate?" The corners of Ning Xiaoxiao's mouth sprayed, and her hands and feet trembled with cold.

"Forget it, these eunuchs have been in the palace gate all their lives, don't talk about right and wrong, how can they live, let's go." Shun Hua turned around and walked quickly towards the Wenshu Pavilion.

When the guards at the gate saw that they were dressed as little eunuchs, they raised their spears and stopped them.

"Do you think this is a place where you can come?"

Shun Hua silently raised the token given by the prince, and seeing this, the two guards immediately knelt down, "The subordinates should be damned, I don't know that the three fathers-in-law are the people of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The woman never expected that she would hide behind the prince one day.

"It's okay, you can let us in now."

"Three of you, please come in."

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Shun Hua magically, and followed her into the Wenshu Pavilion unscrupulously, this dusty building usually does not allow outsiders to enter at all, and it has been a long time before anyone comes to clean it.

"Lord Ben really admires you, you were in a tense fight with the prince just now, and you almost lost your life, so you got a token from him so quickly, but... Didn't you say there is no such thing as a treasure? ”

"Yes, you try it, from Mrs. Ben's point of view, tell the prince like this, does he believe it? Mrs. Ben can't wake up the person who pretends to be asleep. Shunhua spread his hands and said helplessly.

Ning Xiaoxiao crossed her waist with one hand, and said with a bewitching expression: "Then you still dare to raise the bar with the prince?" Just now, Lord Ben sweated for you, for fear that your two masters and servants would be unable to get out of your heart with thousands of arrows. ”

"Shouldn't you do it first?"

Shunhua resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and explained with a face: "Before, we were standing on the side of Xiao Thirteen and the Nine Princes, that is, the opposite of the Prince, you let Mrs. Ben suddenly rush over and say to the Prince, Mrs. Ben has figured it out, thought through it, and felt that the Nine Princes and Little Thirteen have gone to the big picture, so they decided to 'abandon the light and go to the dark', and be willing to be by the prince's side, be a traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, and offer the treasure with both hands, if so, you are the prince, do you believe it?" ”

"So, you deliberately provoked the prince?" Ning Xiaoxiao said in disbelief: "However, when you look at the injured old butler, that look doesn't look like a lie." ”

"That's... It's not a lie, Mrs. Ben admitted, I was almost, almost exposed, I wanted to stretch out my hand to strangle the prince, and I dared to bully my Yan family's Gu Lao, hum. ”

"Ahem..."

The dust around Fu Muhibiscus couldn't help coughing.

"How's it going, are you feeling unwell?" The woman hurriedly asked.

Before the words were finished, Fu Mujian raised his sleeves to cover Shunhua's face, looked at the thousands of case files in front of him, and said softly: "It's dusty here, what does the lady want to find, let Weifu and Lord Ning find it, you sit down." ”

The woman nodded obediently, reached out to pick up the candle on the low wooden cabinet, and sat down.

"Okay, in the first year of Wanqiong, no, around the first year of Wanqiong, there were a bunch of cases that were blacked out, and also, when there was a fire in Chenyou's house, didn't there be a totem of swastika left on the pillar?"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Ning Xiaoxiao suddenly looked back and looked at Shun Hua suspiciously, "Didn't you say you were looking for a treasure?" Why did you check and check, and found out that the matter of Chenyou's family is coming? ”

The woman asked rhetorically: "If you think about it carefully, who brought up the treasure matter?" ”

Ning Xiaoxiao replied disappreciatively: "Mr. Lu." ”

"That's right."

The woman nodded, looked at the candlelight, and said thoughtfully: "He won't bring up a thing that doesn't exist for no reason, his father is the right waiter of the former Ministry of Works, and Chen's father is the left waiter of the former Ministry of Works, both of them had accidents before and after the flood, so Mrs. Ben has an intuition that what Mr. Lu did was related to the unimplemented project back then." ”

Shunhua said thoughtfully: "Also, what he said to Mrs. Ben last time, when you solve the last mystery and learn the truth, I hope you can still remain so rational, think about it, this person who has the overall situation in his heart, he will not find me for no reason, so, my intuition tells me that my father and the Chen family, and I and Chen You, have some kind of connection, and can be linked by something." ”

Ning Xiaoxiao just picked up a dossier and pondered: "The Chen family was wiped out twelve years ago, a little earlier than the day your father disappeared, what can it do." ”

"Mrs. Ben also wants to know what the last mystery in Mr. Lu's mouth is, so she will boldly ask the prince for the waist card, and come to Wenshu Pavilion to inquire about the secret scroll in the palace, hoping to find some clues from it."

At this time, the red wax on the candle just dripped down, and the entire Manjusri Pavilion was so quiet that only the voices of two people remained, the sound of flipping through the books and reading the scrolls.

"Lady, you just said, what else are you looking for besides the smeared dossier?" Fu Mujin turned around and asked.

"The swastika totem, I don't know if it's a coincidence, the Nine Princes said that the four generals strangled the giant python and had a meritorious service, so they gave the four generals a batch of jewelry, and their descendants ... There should be a gold chain with a swastika totem, and my father, who was addicted to "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas" before his disappearance, happened to also have the totem of a giant snake. ”

The white fingers lifted the dim piece of paper, and Ning Xiaoxiao and Fu Mujin looked at the strange giant snake on the drawing in surprise.

"Snake..."

Ning Xiaoxiao was a little confused, he touched the back of his head, a little confused, and muttered: "What kind of clue is this?" Okay, find..."

As soon as I looked up, I couldn't help but sigh when I looked at the neatly arranged cabinets and thousands of files.

"Looking for a dossier like this, you should look for Chen You, Lord Ben will be dizzy when he sees the words."

"Come on, I'll see it quickly, you guys piled up the file in front of me, let me take a closer look, is it done?"

Ning Xiaoxiao twisted her waist and said enchantingly: "It's pretty much the same." ”

Seeing this, Fu Mujian shook his head, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Lady, you want to find a file related to snakes and swastika totems, and the husband understands, but why do you want to find a file that has been smeared, isn't it invalid, and it should be burned." ”

"At that time, when I was working as a catcher in the Yamen of Luoshui City, I found that in the first year of Wanqiong, many people went to the government to report the case, saying that their family had lost something, but what it was, they were all smeared with ink, and your lady couldn't guess it, but, the strangest thing is that these files were not thrown away, but they were stored in the secret room of the Yamen."

Hearing this, Ning Xiaoxiao was stunned, and seemed to know something.

"You say, the case file has been smeared?"

"Well, do you know why?" Shunhua asked.

Ning Xiaoxiao thought about it very seriously and organized the language.

"You may not get it that way, so, to use an analogy, in... About five years ago, there was a madman who broke into a Buddhist hall and killed a lot of monks and believers, and the case was so bloody and tragic that many of the relevant details, especially the bloody part, would be smeared with ink and sealed after the perpetrator was beheaded. ”

"If some of the case files are smeared, how will future generations know what happened back then?"

Faced with Shunhua's question, the youngest Qing official in history replied disappreciatively: "They are not all Tu, you can probably guess the name and part of the statement of the case file, and as long as it is not a serious case involving Long Quan, the Criminal Department and Wenshu Pavilion will keep the bottom sealed, so that the person who takes over the Criminal Department will naturally know what happened back then." ”

"When it comes to dragon power... In other words, if we can't find those few unpainted case files in the entire Wenshu Pavilion, it means that what my father lost back then is likely to involve dragon power. ”

The dossier in Fu Mujian's hand paused, looked at his wife with some concern, and comforted: "For the time being, don't think about the result so badly, maybe my father-in-law's death has nothing to do with the saint, since my father and father-in-law can put the saint on the throne, doesn't that just show that the saint is a benevolent monarch?" ”

"But..."

Shunhua's heart has 10,000 fears.

Mr. Lu's inexplicable words are like a curse, a seed of doubt buried in Shunhua's heart, constantly nourished by the overwhelming mysteries.

Rooted and sprouted.

She didn't want to think about the situation so badly, in case, her father's disappearance really involved dragon power, and when she found out all the truth, she found that the culprit was the current saint.

Could it be that she wants to ask the emperor?

is still like Mr. Lu, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, allowing others to annex Wan Qiong.

Perhaps, Fu Mujian is right, don't think about things so badly yet, maybe she thinks too much about everything.

Her father simply encountered horse bandits, as the book said.

In order to escape the horse bandits, she fell off a cliff and lost her memory, so she forgot to come back to her.

"I hope everything is as simple as you say."

Ning Xiaoxiao took over the conversation in a relaxed tone, and said with a smile: "Yes, didn't you just say that those smeared case files happened in the first year of Wanqiong?" Your father disappeared in the sixteenth year of Wanqiong, even if it involves dragon power, it is impossible to move your father after such a long time, believe in the saint, believe in the bloodline, just look at the Nine Princes and the Prince, they are not so patient to wait so long. ”

"Lady, Lord Ning's words are not rough, they are very reasonable."

Ning Xiaoxiao glanced at Fu Muhibiscus and felt that she was being despised .

Shun Hua nodded and urged: "Then quickly bring me the case file, within two days, I will read the entire case file of Wenshu Pavilion." ”

At this moment, a little servant walked in unscrupulously, he bowed down and bent over, but his expression was very arrogant.

"The villain is ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, Zunmen is here, and he is waiting for Mrs. Fu's orders, if you want to find some books and case files, you might as well let the little one do it for you."

Shun Hua glanced at him coldly, come to help or to monitor.

"Okay." The woman pointed to the files on the cabinet and said casually: "You go and bring all the case files of the first year of Wanqiong, Mrs. Ben wants to see them." ”

The little guy nodded, set up a stand, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "Obey." ”

As soon as I looked up, I looked at the dazzling array of books and files, and sighed.

He stiffened his neck, turned his head, and asked, "In... Find out in this? ”
