The breakthrough in the solution of this matter is still in these people, Xie Zhi said: "Who is responsible for the soup served?" ”

The table of meals served has not been touched since Zhu Xiurong became ill.

After investigation, only the black chicken soup on that table was poisonous.

A few people looked at the little eunuch at the end, and the little eunuch trembled and replied, "Yes, slave maid." ”

Xie Zhi was not polite to him, and directly waved his hand and said, "Take it away." ”

The person in charge of investigating this matter was transferred from Yun Zhongwei.

Judging from the various actions of Emperor Hongzhi, he no longer trusts the yamen of the various ministries or the factory guards.

At the very least, at present, only Xie Zhi is the only one who can be trusted.

After Xie Zhi gave an order, he didn't care about the little eunuch's shouting to spare his life, he grabbed him and left.

After taking the little eunuch away, Xie Zhi then ordered the others to be taken into custody, and then escorted the little eunuch to a torture room specially responsible for dealing with the wrong eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.

The torture equipment here is complete, cold and damp, and once approached, it immediately makes people's scalps tingle.

This kind of place does not need to be tortured, so it gives people inexplicable pressure.

After arresting the little eunuch, Xie Zhi did not immediately torture him, but went to Guanglu Temple again and arrested all those who could come into contact with the black chicken soup.

After arresting all these people, Xie Zhi began to interrogate them one by one and torture them one by one.

Sometimes it works.

Some people, even if they are not themselves, may know that they are from someone else.

Once the punishment is carried out, all righteousness will be dissipated.

The ghosts in the entire torture room cried wolf howls endlessly, and Zhu Houzhao scolded angrily on the side: "This group of dogs dares to kill the sisters of this palace, and this palace has to cut them down one by one." ”

Xie Zhi did not answer with a calm face, I am afraid that a bloody storm is about to start.

Assassination of the Emperor? How can this matter be so good, and the involvement will inevitably be great.

More than half an hour passed, and none of these people spoke.

It's been so long, and if you continue to fight like this, I'm afraid you'll die.

No one can die until no evidence is found.

There was no way, Xie Zhi could only stop the torture.

"Who has experienced an accident in their family and urgently needs money or a way?"

This matter is also easy to pinpoint, and it is the most obvious.

But anyone who can be responsible for the diet of the emperor and queen must be innocent, and if they do this suddenly, they will only have to do something like a last resort if there is a sudden change in the family.

After instructing He Sanyou to act, Xie Zhi went directly to Guanglu Temple.

Although it is impossible to be the original place of medicine, after all, after taking it out of Guanglu Temple, it still needs to be inspected layer by layer before it can be sent to the table, but it still needs to be carefully inspected, and strive to find the key clues from small things.

Zhu Houzhao followed behind Xie Zhi and asked, "Xie Wu, what are you looking for?" ”

Xie Zhi didn't answer, but turned his head and asked, "Your Highness, you say, where is the best choice if you are poisoned?" ”

After Zhu Houzhao touched his chin for a long time, he finally said: "It should be on the last eunuch who passed on the food, or on the eunuch who tested the poison, or on the black chicken itself. ”

Zhu Houzhao's analysis also makes sense, and what Xie Zhi thinks is really just as Zhu Houzhao thinks.

There were no clues in Guanglu Temple, and Xie Zhi could only pin his hopes on He Sanyou.

After waiting for a few hours, He Sanyou came back, but found nothing.

At this time, it seems that we are approaching a dead end.

Those who handle it can't find a breakthrough, and they can't find any other crucial evidence, and this matter is not so simple to solve.

"Xie Wu, what should I do now?"

Xie Zhi didn't pay attention to Zhu Houzhao, pondered for a moment, got up, and entered the torture room.

As soon as these people saw Xie Zhi coming in, their voices of injustice immediately rose up.

Xie Zhi scolded sharply and said, "Shut up." ”

Immediately afterward, Xie Zhi asked, "Have you ever come into contact with suspicious people when you were serving?" ”

If these people didn't do it, then it's likely that someone else did it by their hands.

When these people were thinking about it, Xie Zhi said again: "Think about it carefully, only if you think about it, can you relieve your flesh and skin suffering." ”

After a long time, someone took the lead in speaking and said: "Uncle Yunzhong, when the villain catches the black chicken, the black chicken seems to be not as happy as before, and it comes from the black chicken from time to time. ”

As he spoke, the man tearfully accused himself of how he had been wronged.

Isn't it, how can Xie Zhi know, can't he check?

Being a little upset, Xie Zhi impatiently shouted to shut up, interrupting the man's words.

Immediately after that, another person spoke, saying, "Uncle Yunzhong, when the villain is boiling the soup, the salt doesn't seem to be quite right..."

As the man spoke, several others spoke out about how wrong they were doing.

It turned out that except for the black chicken, there was really no problem with other things, at least when Xie Zhi was verifying.

Just when Xie Zhi was a little impatient, one person's suspicion caught his attention.

"Uncle Yunzhong, the villain saw Zhou Baihu when he entered the hall with soup, usually he never had a good face when he saw the villain, but this time he was very enthusiastic about the villain, and chatted with the villain for a long time."

Xie Zhi was surprised and asked rhetorically, "Zhou Baihu? ”

After Xie Zhi's question, Zhu Houzhao explained: "It's the grandson of Qingyun Hou, Zhou Ping. ”

Xie Zhi was even more surprised.

Zhu Houzhao then explained: "The Marquis of Qingyun and his father held important positions, and his father gave him the position of Jinwuwei Baihu, responsible for the patrol of Kunning Palace. ”

The Zhou family can have the glory it has now, thanks to the royal grace.

The children of the Zhou family serve as the guards of the hundred households, and there is no problem at all.

After the eunuch's words, Xie Zhi also had doubts for a moment.

As far as Zhou Ping is concerned, Xie Zhi is very clear.

What kind of person is he, can he still see a little eunuch greeting him?

Xie Zhi didn't pay attention to the little eunuch, and asked the person who tested the poison in the palace, and said, "Did you find anything when you tested the poison?" ”

The eunuch immediately panicked and shouted, "When the villain tested the poison, he really didn't find that it was poisonous. ”

Such assurances do not look like fraud.

Xie Zhi also ignored it, turned around and left, and shouted, "Go find Zhou Ping." ”

After a while, He Sanyou did not bring Zhou Ping, but rushed to report: "Zhixian, Zhou Ping and Shouning Hou quarreled in the front hall. ”

Xie Zhi scolded, and he could only go in person.

This Zhang Heling has always been a lack of success anyway, and there are more than failures.

When he arrived at the front hall, Zhang Heling was pulling Zhou Ping and not letting go.

Seeing Xie Zhi coming, he immediately pulled Zhou Ping forward and said: "Xie Zhi, this kid is sneaky here, he was caught by Ben Hou, his Zhou family has always been at odds with my Zhang family, and the Queen Mother has always looked down on my sister." ”

Xie Zhi is also clear about this matter, and the grievances between the Zhou family and the Zhang family will not be mentioned for the time being.

However, as an emperor, Emperor Hongzhi practiced monogamy, which will definitely make many women jealous at this time.

Besides, the person Zhu Qizhen likes is the Empress Dowager Qian, not the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Empress Dowager Zhou will be even more jealous, she doesn't look for Emperor Hongzhi, but she feels that Empress Zhang is domineering and does not allow other concubines.

It turns out that the wife can call the shots.

Xie Zhi didn't speak yet, but Zhou Ping said: "A certain is a hundred households of Jin Wuwei, and it is not inappropriate to appear here, why should you arrest a certain person, Xie Zhi, if you dare to declare a personal vendetta, the eldest father will let your Zhou family accompany the funeral." ”

Zhou Ping shouted loudly, and Xie Zhi knew how to behave.

With his kind of clamour, Xie Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to it.

In fact, the more Zhou Ping shouted like this, the more suspicious this matter became.

"Come on, take Zhou Ping." Thank you for your life.

After taking Zhou Ping, Xie Zhi did not know the identity of the Zhou family at all, and directly brought him into the punishment.

Ignoring Zhou Ping's scolding, he directly waved the whip in his hand and beckoned to him.

"Zhou Ping, since this county dares to arrest you, then there is conclusive evidence, if you say that you can avoid the pain of flesh and skin."

Xie Zhi hoped that Zhou Ping would not speak, the more he did not speak, the more fierce the whip in Xie Zhi's hand became.

Facts have proved that after all, Xie Zhi overestimated Zhou Ping.

After just a few whips, Zhou Ping opened his mouth, howled in his mouth, and said, "It's King Ning, King Ning has found his father." ”

When this name came out, Xie Zhi was surprised.

Wasn't King Ning's rebellion in the Zhengde Dynasty? It's only been thirteen years since Hongzhi, could it be because he crossed and shook the butterfly's wings?
