Chapter 385: Recruitment
When the emperor heard this, he immediately asked, "In that case, have you found the murderer?" His expression was not as kind as usual, but full of the majesty of being an emperor.
Su Zhenzhen sighed in her heart, the emperor is also anxious, right? If the murderer can be found quickly with so few clues, isn't it human?
Even if it's a detective, you have to use clues to slowly reason to find out the murderer, right?
So Su Zhenzhen had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers are incompetent, and the murderer has not been found." It's just that she still has some guesses in her heart.
When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, if this matter is not investigated clearly, he will not be able to obtain information for a day, and within a few days, he will have a huge loss!
The emperor's mood gradually became irritable, but because of Su Zhenzhen's presence, she couldn't vent, so she had to hold it in her heart first.
After a while, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "Then in your heart, what speculation do you have about the murderer?"
Su Zhenzhen told the truth: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers do have some speculations in their hearts, but there is no real evidence, it is really difficult to say it to Your Majesty."
In fact, Su Zhenzhen had a guess in her heart for a long time, but she never announced it. The emperor must be able to figure out why, and she doesn't need to bother to say any more.
In the study of the Royal Palace...... Su Zhenzhen was explaining the countermeasures to the emperor, and the eunuchs outside the door all looked at each other: "How long has this been in, but it hasn't come out, do you think the emperor will punish the county lord." "After all, this time more than one lady has happened to such a thing, and that person didn't dare to say it.
Another guard glanced around: "This is not for sure, but the county lord is also really powerful, I can talk to the emperor for so long, with the emperor's majestic appearance, I feel that I am going to be Ling Chi at a glance." Several others were amused by this sentence, and a dignified guard of the Imperial Guards was really good.
"Your Majesty, there are already seven or eight points of speculation in the hearts of the ministers, and the gossip in the city in the past two days has made it difficult for the emperor to do." She didn't know if the emperor could let her continue to investigate this matter by herself, after all, he faced a lot of criticism when he took office. And the emperor called her after a few days, which was already enough to give her face.
If the emperor detains her, she will not have any complaints, but the speculation in her heart cannot be confirmed. Just when Su Zhenzhen was distracted, a majestic voice sounded: "I believe in you unconditionally in this matter, and I believe that there will be no such difference in the people I see, after all, you have no grudges with them, and this matter is fully handed over to you to investigate by yourself, and I will deal with it on the side of the court, you just have to clean yourself." ”
Su Zhenzhen nodded gratefully, this matter is obviously aimed at her, smart people can see the clues at a glance, and the emperor can naturally see it. But so what, as the saying goes, the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, and now that she has fallen into such an end, those who used to look at her unpleasantly did not take the opportunity to step on her feet.
If it's serious, maybe she will hand over a fold to the emperor and take the opportunity to eliminate her official position, even if the emperor believes that she will definitely have some difficulties to do, but I didn't expect the emperor to let her check it herself. Su Zhenzhen knelt on the ground: "Live up to the emperor's trust, the ministers will definitely prove their innocence and not make it difficult for the emperor." ”
The emperor nodded, since the emperor is like this, she must speed up the progress of her own investigation. Before the emperor summoned her to the palace, he already had a certain number in his heart. Since there are no clues for so many days, it is better to try your luck and go to the palace to guard, that person came to her in the hope that the palace would break with her.
Otherwise, he should poison himself directly, since he hopes so much that he will break with the palace, then his source can only stay in the palace, his brain has calmed down, and he can think about things much faster. Su Zhenzhen Seeing that it was still early, she went home first, and sent someone to send a message to Wei Han saying that she would stay in the palace for a while at night, so that he should not worry.
Then she went directly to the palace, and the lady saw that Su Zhenzhen was coming and knew that she had an idea, and asked her directly what she needed. Although she has said it many times, Su Zhenzhen still can't help it: "Madam, I'm really sorry for this matter, it's obvious that I provoked the enemy, but I took revenge on you." ”
The lady shook her head generously: "You don't know who you provoked, maybe it's a neurosis, don't say I'm sorry, as long as you catch the murderer, you can give me the best explanation, and you can also send me some good rouge gouache or something in the future." Su Zhenzhen nodded hurriedly.
It doesn't matter if you let this lady use it for free for life, ...... at night The stars hung brightly in the night sky, and the whole night was shrouded, a layer of mystery. Su Zhenzhen has already set up the person, just waiting for that person to come. Sure enough...... The man was caught.
Several guards escorted the murderer, Su Zhenzhen looked at the person, a night suit perfectly integrated in the night, this person was very cunning, he found out that something was wrong not long after he came just now, if he hadn't laid a net of heaven and earth he was afraid that he would have run away, and the people in the palace came to see the excitement and pointed at the people kneeling on the ground.
Su Zhenzhen told the lady and took the person away, and the lady didn't stop her, leaving the person here, she couldn't find any clue, so it was better to let Su Zhenzhen come and investigate. rushed all the way back to the county lord's mansion, Su Zhenzhen was not in a hurry to unmask that person, she wanted to see who this person was, and she had such a big enmity with her.
Let a few guards bring people to the courtyard it was zhen zhen who lifted the veil of that person I don t know why it always feels a little familiar su zhen frowned did she see this person somewhere. Before she had time to think about it, the guard on the side interrupted her, with a little surprise in her tone: "Isn't this the number one thief in the rivers and lakes?" ”
I usually know a lot about the rivers and lakes, so I naturally recognize it. Su Zhenzhen only then remembered that the portrait she saw when she went to the street was this person, and it turned out to be the first thief in the rivers and lakes! Su Zhenzhen didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly asked me: "The first thief in the rivers and lakes, why are you framing me?" The man looked at her and sneered.
turned his head around, and he was quite tough, and he looked like he was sworn to death: "If you tell the truth, I may still let you go, you have to understand who you framed, you can be at ease when you are not caught by me, but if I catch me, I will not show mercy, who is going to harm me?" ”
The man raised his head and glanced at Su Zhenzhen, but still didn't speak. Su Zhenzhen was a little irritable in her heart, this person didn't say a word from beginning to end, and there must be someone behind him who looked like this. He had only seen this first thief in the rivers and lakes on the portrait, and he had not found any contact with anyone related to him after recalling it.
In this way, there is someone behind him, otherwise why not just steal her things and get a sum of money, a first god of the rivers and lakes can steal the things in his store without any effort. Su Zhenzhen asked several questions, and everyone just knelt on the ground and looked at her with an impatient expression, as if they were holding on to it.
Su Zhenzhen pressed her brain that hurt a little, it was really difficult, it was already too late, Su Zhenzhen also planned to give this thief a little time to think, and ordered only the guards to take the person down: "Take the person to the firewood room in the backyard for me, tie his hands and feet with ropes, tie the dead knot, and order some more people to guard the door, so as not to let him escape." ”
Su Zhenzhen interrogated this person every day, but every day she found nothing, Su Zhenzhen felt that she was on the verge of collapse, but she also knew that anger was useless. calmed down and went to interrogate again, but today she took a different approach.
The thief didn't speak, she just sat there and didn't say a word, this person didn't seem to be afraid of death, and any torture equipment might not work for her. She might as well spend a little more time looking for weaknesses in this person. The thief looked up at Su Zhenzhen a little strangely, and for a while he couldn't understand what Zhenzhen wanted to do.
Su Zhenzhen suddenly found a sachet and stepped forward to take it, there may be a clue in it.
The thief's hands and feet were tied, and Su Zhenzhen obviously noticed that his body stiffened a little when he went to get the sachet, but it was also very good and recovered quickly. Su Zhenzhen hooked the corners of her mouth, it seems that she is holding the right thing this time, Su Zhenzhen is playing with the sachet in her hand, and the workmanship is quite exquisite.
She said, well, what does a good man do with a sachet. The god peeked at Su Zhenzhen, and said the first thing in the past few days: "That broken thing, if you like it, take it away, anyway, it's useless for me to pick it up." "Very good, there are no three hundred taels of silver here, Su Zhenzhen is now more sure of the guess in her heart.
"Okay, I think since you don't like it, I'll just take it and play with it, just give it to my son, the children should like it very much!" The thief couldn't hold back when he heard this: "Give it back to me!" The expression looked particularly angry, and Su Zhenzhen stopped smiling, her expression was cold: "Since you know what is important to you in this matter, you should also know how to get it back!" ”
As soon as the thief heard what Su Zhenzhen said, she immediately became dumb again, and just looked at her angrily. Su Zhenzhen also knew that there was no result in forcing it, so she took the sachet and left, so let this thief worry and be afraid here for a few more days, maybe he will figure it out. The sachet can't be ignored here, Su Zhenzhen checked it as soon as she went out.
This sachet is exquisitely made, and the embroidery process on it is very complicated, who made one of these sachets for the thief? Su Zhenzhen doesn't understand female celebrity at all, she can only know that this is not an ordinary sachet. Thinking of this, Su Zhenzhen took the sachet and went to the street to find a very dignified grandmother.
She used to cook things for the nobles in the palace, and the female red's skills are very good, not comparable to ordinary people. Sure enough, Su Zhenzhen took the sachet and went over to get the result that it was Shu embroidery. The old lady smiled and looked at the sachet for a long time, and couldn't put it down for a while.
"County Lord, where did you find this? It takes a long time for this workmanship to work, you look at this pattern, oh the embroidery is really beautiful. Su Zhenzhen smiled and did not speak. Returning to the county lord's mansion and letting the guards follow this clue to continue to investigate, Su Zhenzhen had a very strong feeling in her heart, and she didn't know why, she felt that the truth was about to surface.
I thought there would be some obstacles, but I didn't expect it to be easy to find out, the person who embroidered this sachet was a woman, and it was the thief's sister. Living in a remote mountain village, his daily life is to cook, and occasionally sit in his yard embroidering small things such as purses and handkerchiefs.
The thief probably didn't expect to find his sister along the sachet, so he didn't have any precautions at all, and it was easy to find the person. Su Zhenzhen listened to the report of the guards, the girl was blind, and they were there for a long time to be 100% sure of this matter, and each time they saw the girl with a cane.
