Chapter 13: The Story of Ganlin
Three days later, at night, a mass grave outside the city.
A group of tall men in black flying fish suits are looking for something with torches.
"Report the Gan (Qian) incident and found a mahogany coffin, which should have been buried recently."
A small mound without a tombstone, fluffy sand, I don't know if it was blown away by the wind or by some wild dog or other beast, revealing the corner of the coffin that seemed to be worth a lot.
"Open." Gan Lin walked over and ordered.
After a while, the loess on the red coffin was removed, and the heavy coffin lid was pried open, and Gan Lin screamed, making the brocade guards behind her a little inexplicable.
"Why are you so panicked? This is not like her style, could it be that she is actually very timid, and was frightened by a female corpse? Her usual strength and calmness are just performances for us? ”
Some people thought so, but they didn't react much, they were all well-trained and loyal and obedient subordinates.
"Princess Yaoyao! How did you end up here? Who did it! ”
The grief-stricken Gan Lin walked to the coffin with heavy steps, touched the girl lying quietly inside, and shed tears, she didn't remember when the last time she cried, but the hot tears couldn't help but stay down her cheeks to the corners of her mouth, salty taste.
"I see."
"My lord, what do you know?" A thousand households asked.
"It's nothing, Haosheng buried her."
Gan Lin had regained her usual calm at this time, but her eyes were still a little red, and she guessed the real reason why Murong Feng suddenly sent troops to attack Da Lie - that is, he had already known that Princess Yaoyao had died!
The lid of the coffin was re-nailed, the original tomb was dug three feet deep, the surrounding earth and stones were reinforced, and the surrounding area was surrounded by thorny vine veins to prevent wild animals from messing around.
Burned some paper money in front of the newly erected tombstone, and the tombstone was engraved with the four big characters "Princess Yaoyao", Gan Lin took people away, she was going to report this, and she wanted to find out who did it? After so many years, he still poisoned a kind girl who was not threatening!
——
Chang'an City, the Imperial District, a dimly lit secret room.
"Say."
"Presumptuous! What are you guys who dare to lift a finger on my fingers? ”
"Yo, my father-in-law is so powerful! Call me! ”
"Ah, are you really?"
Xiao Lizi angrily scolded everyone with his unique male duck voice, but after tasting the hot pain of the strong whip on his body, he immediately relented and begged: "Stop fighting, don't fight, I say, I say." ”
Lai Fu leaned back in the chair, played with the long whip, and said jokingly: "My father-in-law is really a person who understands current affairs, as long as you explain honestly, we will not be difficult for you, we are all for the above, I understand that it is not easy for you." ”
"It was the queen mother who ordered me to do it, it's none of my business."
"You speak slowly, one by one, clearly, explain clearly, what the queen ordered you to do, if you have half a lie, hehe." Lai Fu threatened, holding both ends of the whip with both hands and pulling hard.
"Yes, yes, you want me to kill the child of a little palace maid, the newborn child."
"Oh? How can the little palace maid have a child, don't you think I'm easy to deceive? ”
"The little palace maid would not have children, but if His Majesty spoiled her, then she might have children."
"Rumor has it that Your Majesty is not...... Isn't it infertile? ”
"That's just a rumor."
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty, how could there be no that? They were all secretly eliminated by the queen, and some of them also died naturally, and those pregnant palace maids and even concubines, once the queen knew about it, they would send abortion pills and forcibly make them lose the child in their womb. ”
"What?!" Frightened and angry, Riff almost jumped in disbelief.
"I've also dealt with this two or three times, but a few days ago it was the first time I had to drown a newborn child, that child was a palace maid who hid from almost everyone and gave birth secretly, but dystocia, hemorrhage, she died as soon as the child was born! Hearing the baby's cry, the queen ordered me to deal with the matter quickly, and I saw that the child was pitiful, he had no mother at birth, and he was about to suffer from poisoning, and he had compassion, but he was afraid that he would be killed for disobedience, so he ......"
"So what's the matter, what happened to that bloodied kid in the end?"
"I hid him in an old eunuch's place, and I went to the lake that day to make a show, but I didn't expect to meet an accident."
"Which old eunuch, what did he say after taking the child?"
"It's Gonggong Gui, he didn't say much, he just said that he would handle it well, and told me not to tell others."
"Grandpa Gui? Who are they? Lai Fu didn't know much about the affairs of the harem, so he asked his subordinate Qianhu.
"That's the old man next to the Queen Mother, and he is also the chief eunuch, I heard that he is still very fair, but the specific subordinates are not very clear." Chiho responded.
"Well, Xiao Lizi, right, even if you still have a little conscience, I'll let you go back first, and you know what to do when you go back, right?"
"I'll treat it as if none of this happened, and I'll never say a word about you."
"Okay, we don't want to alarm the queen, this matter is too huge, a careless, it's not a problem with your head, it will be a matter of countless people's heads!"
"I understand."
In this way, Laifu sent Xiao Lizi back to the palace safely, this back and forth plus interrogation, it was only a little more than an hour, it should not attract the attention of others, Laifu was not idle, he personally escorted Xiao Lizi back to the palace, and then turned the horse's head and went to the Jinyiwei office, Liuchuan Feng has almost been working there for the past few days, and even sleeping there.
Late at night, the wind is slightly cool, the candle flame is swaying, and the moon is crooked.
Gan Lin and Laifu arrived at about the same time, and Rukawa Kaede, who was in the room, also yawned, closed the file in his hand, stretched his waist, adjusted his mental state, and greeted the two subordinates with a smile.
"Thank you for your hard work, have you found anything?"
"Yes, a major discovery!"
The two replied in unison.
"Ganlin, you speak first."
"Yes, I've discovered a secret! A tragedy! ”
"Oh?"
"Princess Yaoyao, the only living one in the previous dynasty, died and was buried in a mass grave, it seems that it has been two months, but fortunately, her coffin is not bad, so I can recognize her." Gan Lin said sadly.
"The princess of the former dynasty? How come I haven't heard of her, and how could she suddenly be buried in a mass grave? Rukawa Kaede asked suspiciously.
"She was brought to the Northern Dragon Continent by her mother's side since she was a child, which was her grandmother's hometown, and then the previous dynasty was destroyed, and your Liuchuan family replaced them as the new overlord of the Great Lie Kingdom, killing them almost all! She stayed in Longzhou at that time and did not come back. ”
Gan Lin, who looked very haggard, seemed to be talking about what he had experienced, he was very serious, and he didn't care about anything, his eyes drifted out of the window, and he didn't know what he was looking at?
"Gan Lin, how did you talk to adults?"
Laifu, who was sitting on the side, kindly reminded that he saw that the other party's emotions were wrong, and he was afraid that Rukawa Kaede would blame her.
"It's okay, these are the facts, Ganlin, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't be alone in the torture, do you want to track down her murderer?" Rukawa Kaede said generously.
Nodding, Gan Lin seemed to have made a decision, set his eyes on Rukawa Kaede, and began to speak.
"I'm an orphan."
"Coincidentally, so did I."
Rifle interjected.
Ignoring him, Gan Lin continued: "My grandfather took me to escape from the famine until I fled to the Northern Regions, and then when I was eight years old, he also left me. In my most difficult time, I met Princess Yaoyao, she saved me, and treated me like a sister, provided me with food and drink, and let me follow the 'butcher' teacher with her to learn knowledge and martial arts, at that time, Murong Feng was also our classmate, and the two of them were like childhood sweethearts, they had a deep relationship. ”
"I see, no wonder you know him like that, it must be that Princess Yaoyao who asked you to keep this secret." Rifle asked.
"Yes, I came back later, and I joined the Northern Territory by mistake and became a soldier of Lord Kaede, and this is my story," Gan Lin was relieved, then stood up and bent down and saluted, "My lord, I want to investigate this matter, it is no longer my personal private matter, there must be a high-level imperial behind it." ”
"But be careful yourself, after all, we are new to the city, and there are still many things we don't know much about, and the water in some places is very deep, and it will be dangerous if you accidentally fall down."
waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't need to be polite, Rukawa Kaede also reminded her, because he knew better, this thing must have been done by the royal family and the big man of their Ruchuan family, but he didn't have any way to do anything with them at the moment, he remembered that the master had told him: When the ability is insufficient, don't use the hidden dragon; When the time comes, it will be the ...... of the flying dragon in the sky."
