"Yes." Ma Gongzheng cooperated with Xilingyue to solve the big case today, knowing that he was expected to be promoted, and even took her words as an oracle, and personally dragged Fang Fei to retreat.

After the two left, Xiling Yue walked slowly to the man in black, and sighed regretfully: "Yang Neishi, it's really you." ”

Yang Wenhuai, who was arrested, knelt on the ground, his head was held down, and more than a dozen bows and crossbows were aimed at his body.

At this moment, he knew that his defense was useless, so he had to raise his head with a dejected face and ask, "You have long doubted me?" ”

"It's not too early, it's just a few days." Xiling Yue replied lightly.

Yang Wenhuai stared at her unwillingly: "I asked myself how did you find out that it was done seamlessly and without any flaws?" ”

"Seamless?" Xilingyue sneered and looked at Pei Xingli and the others, and her expression was clearly "asking for praise".

Naturally, Pei Xingli and the Shence Army all showed expressions of admiration, admiration, and even admiration.

Seeing that she was going to sell Guanzi, Yang Wenhuai persistently asked: "You tell me, let me die and understand." ”

Only then did Xiling Yue put away her smile and asked rhetorically: "Do you remember the fall of the plaque in the Zichen Hall on the fourth day of the lunar month?" ”

Yang Wenhuai frowned and said nothing, he naturally remembered.

"You and General Pei both confirmed that day, saying that it was an accident, and we both believed it. However, this time I entered the palace to re-investigate the old case of Ji Meiren, and the saint gave me some clues, including the repair records of the Qinzheng Building by the Ministry of Internal Service and the Ministry of Industry after Ji Meiren fell from the building. Xi Lingyue said with her arms clasped in her hands.

Yang Wenhuai stared at her: "The county lord has a happy word, what did you find?" ”

"I found a kind of wood called 'Golden Silk Nanmu', and the main structure of the Qinzheng Building was built with it." Xilingyue explained, "All of you

As we all know, Xingqing Palace is the residence of Master Xuan when he was the vassal king, and after he ascended the throne, he moved to Xingqing Palace to listen to the government, and built a diligent building at the main gate. At that time, I was thinking that since the main building of Xuanzong's expansion of Xingqing Palace was made of golden silk nanmu, then the Daming Palace presided over by Gaozong should also use golden silk nanmu. In particular, Hanyuan Palace, Xuanzheng Palace, and Zichen Hall are the three main halls in the palace, and the wood used must be very particular. Xilingyue raised her delicate eyebrows, "Sure enough, my father asked the squire of the Ministry of Works and learned that the beams and pillars of the Zichen Hall were all golden silk nanmu. ”

"After reading the repair record, I realized that the golden silk nanmu is a top-quality wood, and its characteristic is that it cannot be soaked in water and ants cannot burrow, so it can be used as the pillar of the house."

When she said this, Yang Wenhuai gradually realized something, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"On that day, General Pei checked the situation on the beams of the house, and he privately told me that the beams and pillars were hollowed out by insects and ants, which caused the hanging nails to fall off and the plaques to loosen. General Pei has lived in Zhenhai for a long time, and he doesn't know about the construction in the palace, so he naturally doesn't know that the beams of the Zichen Palace are golden silk nanmu, and he is not afraid of insects. But I know that you have worked as an errand in the construction office of the Ministry of Internal Servants, so you should know the situation in the Zichen Palace. But you had no doubt at the time, and you were sure it was an accident. Xiling Yue thought for a moment and added, "Oh yes, when you explained this matter to the Holy Lord that day, you didn't mention the matter of insects and ants, only that the pillars were in disrepair. This doesn't sound like a problem, but combined with your experience in the construction office, you know that you are deliberately concealing the facts and misleading us. ”

After listening to this explanation, Yang Wenhuai was still incredulous: "Could it be that I am defeated at this point?" ”

"Of course not, how could I be so sloppy!" Xiling Yue simply said it in one fell swoop, "After this incident, I naturally suspect that you have ulterior intentions, but I didn't expect that Ji Meiren's matter has something to do with you." Later, I took the fake love poem to ask the Shangyi Bureau, and learned that the ink used to write the poem was Wenfu ink, and this ink was used by the Son of Heaven. Only then did I suspect that the murderer who killed Ji Meiren was a close attendant by the saint's side, because in this way the murderer could easily get Wenfu Mo. Also, last year, Ji Meiren was suddenly infected with a cold and canceled her trip to Qinzheng Building, and she must have been the first to tell the saint. Only the saint's close attendant can get the news in time and write a fake love poem to deceive her in a short period of time. ”

"If you can imitate the handwriting of the Holy One to a seven-point resemblance, this person will be able to touch the imperial pen from time to time. However, the two strokes of "skimming" and "pinching" are not written smoothly, which shows that this person's pen strength is weak, and he should have not laid a good foundation since he was a child...... The biggest possibility is that his family is too poor and has not studied since he was a child, but later entered the palace and came into contact with the imperial pen and practiced hard. ”

"Besides, if you can lie that the love poem was written by the Son of Heaven without making Ji Meiren suspicious, this person will definitely be able to represent the words and deeds of the Son of Heaven." Xiling Yue spread her hands, "Look, doesn't this make it clear that it was done by the eunuchs of the Inner Servant Province?" ”

Rao is Yang Wenhuai was unwilling, and he was not convinced when he heard these words. Xi Lingyue's analysis was so good that he couldn't refute it.

"It turns out that you have been looking for the murderer with a lot of fanfare these days, and you are all acting for me?" He smiled coldly.

"Not really, I still want to find out your internal response in the Lizheng Palace." Xi Lingyue felt that this cell was a little cold, and couldn't help but rub her arms, "I made a special trip to let people reveal the purpose of my entry into the palace, I wanted to cause panic in Neiying, but I didn't expect that there were three people in the Lizheng Hall who were very suspicious." After inquiry, two of the palace people had legitimate reasons to go out, but the palace maid Fang Fei went to the Inner Servant Province sneakily that night, but no one was found. ”

"At that time, I was further determined that the mastermind behind the scenes was a eunuch. He made an appointment with Fang Fei but didn't show up, so naturally he heard about the purpose of my entry into the palace, and he was afraid that he would be arrested by me. Xiling Yue sighed, "Yang Neishi, this is your failure." You made a temporary appointment that night, and it was clear that you were going to abandon Fang Fei, how could you say that she could still protect you? ”

"So that slut cooperated with you to put on a big play and lure me out?" Yang Wenhuai gritted his teeth.

"Yes, we're racking our brains to get you into the net!" Xiling Yue pretended to sigh.

Yang Wenhuai suddenly woke up when he heard this: "The Holy Lord ordered the province to give you wine and food, and it was also your idea?" ”

"No, no, no, I don't dare to take credit for this, it's General Pei's idea." Xiling Yue pointed at Pei Xingli.

Pei Xingli also said in a timely manner: "That's right, it was I who asked the saint to give the 'Six Bureaus and One Palace' wine and food in the name of 'New Year's Reward'." You're on an errand in the Inner Servant Province, and I guess you'll take this opportunity to drugged the food and drink and kill people. As he spoke, he made a gesture of "three", and deliberately emphasized, "Yang Neishi, in order to wait for you, we have been in ambush for three nights. ”

When Yang Wenhuai heard this last paragraph, it was as if all his soul had been drained, his neck gradually lowered, and his body fell to the ground weakly.

From suspicion to evidence collection, from evidence collection to ambush, occasionally acting in a few plays to confuse the public, Xilingyue and Pei Xingli arranged it perfectly. Thinking that he Yang Wenhuai had been in the palace for decades, fighting one enemy after another, but he didn't expect to lose to a female doll in the end, it was he who underestimated the opponent and underestimated the enemy.
