0757 A Forgotten Man

The eunuch answered, went out of the palace gate, and brought a palace lady into the palace.

Gong E was assassinated just now and was frightened, so after entering the palace, her twin strands were still trembling.

"What's your name?"

Kou Ji only opened his mouth to ask, and Gong E suddenly fluttered and sat down on the ground.

Seeing this, Kou Ji frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "Haven't you recovered yet?" ”

Kou Ji sat on the chair and stared at Gong E quietly, waiting for Gong E to recover from the shock before speaking again.

Kou Ji stared at Gong E and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Slave...... Slaves...... Lu'e ......"

Gong E replied tremblingly and stammering.

Kou Ji asked, "Why did those two eunuchs assassinate you just now?" ”

Gong E's body trembled, and she shook her head vigorously, "Slave...... The slave doesn't know ......"

Kou Ji frowned and said, "Others won't assassinate you for no reason, but they will assassinate you right under my nose." ”

Gong E still shook her head when she heard Kou Ji's words.

Seeing this, Kou Ji's brows furrowed even tighter, "Were you serving in the Han Beauty Palace before, or in the Chen Beauty Palace?" ”

Chen ...... Chen Niangniang......"

"Then you didn't see anything you shouldn't see in Chen Meiren Palace?"

When Gong E heard Kou Ji's words, she was stunned at first, and then seemed to remember something, and a panic flashed on her face.

Seeing this, Kou Ji immediately asked, "What did you see in Chen Meiren Palace?" ”

Gong E shook her head in a panic.

Kou Ji suddenly shouted, "What did you see?!" ”

Gong E blurted out, "A man ......"

Kou Ji's face changed, and he immediately instructed the eunuchs beside him: "Seal the door, don't enter or leave." ”

Through Gong E's words, the eunuch realized the seriousness of the matter, and hurriedly nodded and went to seal the palace gate.

After the eunuch left, Kou Ji squatted down, leaned in front of Gong E, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you are seeing a man, not a eunuch." ”

Gong E realized that she had said the wrong thing, and shook her head in horror and said, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid know nothing. ”

Kou Ji stared at Gong E and whispered, "Now that you have opened your mouth, there is no point in hiding it." If you hide again, not only will you die, but your family will also die.

Many people will die in the palace because of this.

The same is true outside the palace.

Tell me the truth now, and I might be able to figure out how to get out of it.

Once the official family knows about this, I'm afraid there will be no living people in the palace.

You have been serving in the palace for a long time, you should understand the temper of the official family, the official family is now killing people, but they will not blink their eyes. ”

When Gong E heard Kou Ji's words, she was trembling all over.

Her voice trembled, "You...... Can you really keep your slaves? ”

Kou Ji said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, how could I lie to you." Not only will I be able to keep you, but I will also be able to take you out of the palace and get you out of the sea of suffering. But only if you tell me the truth. ”

"You...... Can you take the slave out of the palace? ”

Gong E asked in disbelief.

Kou Ji nodded and said, "The left and right are just the will of the official family." As long as you tell me the truth, I will immediately send someone to the official family to ask for a good will. ”

Gong E said with some hesitation: "You...... You won't cheat slaves? ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Although my Kou Ji has not been in the court for a long time, his reputation is well known to the government and the public, and I have never regretted what I Kou Ji promised. ”

When Gong E heard this, she gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Your reputation, the slave and maid can naturally be trusted. The slave maid will tell you the truth, the slave maid saw a man when she was waiting in Chen Meiren's palace before. ”

Kou Ji approached Gong E and asked, "How are you sure he is a man......?"

Gong E gritted her teeth and said: "He has one more thing than the eunuch, when the official family favored Chen Meiren, the slave maid used to serve beside him, the slave maid has seen it, and the official family also has it." ”

Kou Ji's pupils dilated a little, and he said in a deep voice: "When you saw him, he was on Chen Meiren's bed, right?" ”

Gong E was slightly stunned, stared at Kou Ji and said, "How do you know ......?"

Kou Ji took a deep breath, got up slowly, and muttered, "Otherwise, you won't see that thing......"

Kou Ji slowly clenched his fists and sighed, "In this way, everything makes sense. ”

"Concubine Yang, you dare to help people mess with the royal bloodline, no one can save you now."

“……”

Kou Ji muttered a few words in a low voice, looked back at the recorder who was hanging his head on the side, and said seriously: "You didn't hear anything today, if I heard any rumors outside, you and your family would have to die." ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan will definitely keep his mouth shut. ”

The recorder shuddered.

Kou Ji stood still and said no more.

After the eunuch who sealed the door returned to the palace, Kou Ji gave an order and ordered him to send someone to summon Chen Lin.

After Chen Lin learned that Kou Ji was looking for him, he soon appeared in Han Meiren's dormitory.

As soon as he entered the palace and saw Gong E sitting on the ground, and Kou Ji with a gloomy face, Chen Lin immediately asked, "What did Kou Shumi find?" ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly, but did not speak.

Chen Lin was slightly stunned when he saw this, and immediately turned around and waved his hand to the few eunuchs who followed behind him.

After the people behind Chen Lin left, Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "In the palace, there is a man ......."

When Chen Lin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said casually: "Of course there is a man in the palace, isn't the official family a ......?"

Chen Lin couldn't go on anymore after half of what he said, because he reflected the meaning of Kou Ji's words.

Chen Lin's face turned blue and white and exclaimed: "You mean, in addition to the official family, there is also a ...... in the palace."

Koji nodded bitterly.

Chen Lin lost her voice and said, "Impossible! ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Nothing is impossible. ”

Chen Lin's face turned pale and said: "The eunuchs and palace ladies in the palace are all under the control of our family, and our family has been staring at them, how can anyone be mixed in." ”

Kou Ji sighed and said, "Don't forget, there is also Concubine Yang behind this matter." ”

Chen Lin staggered back a few steps, his face pale.

If he is a lone ranger, it is naturally impossible to hide it from Chen Lin.

But if there is Concubine Yang to help, then he can really hide it.

Chen Lin's voice trembled: "Who is it?!" ”

Kou Ji shook his head slowly, "I don't know ......"

Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Our family will immediately bring someone to find him." ”

Kou Ji shook his head again and said, "With Concubine Yang guarding, if you want to find him, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

Chen Lin said angrily: "Our family will gather everyone in the palace and inspect them one by one." ”

Kou Ji glared at Chen Lin and said, "Do you want to make this matter known all over the city and make the official family lose face?" ”

Chen Lin's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's our family's negligence." ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "Only a few of us know about this matter now, and it has not been spread out. All we need to do now is find that person and get rid of him. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, the cold light in his eyes was full, and his eyes kept wandering over the recorder and Gong E.

The recorder and Gong E's frightened legs and stomachs were trembling.

Gong'e subconsciously leaned towards Kou Ji's side.

Seeing this, Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "They will keep it a secret." ”

Chen Lin said almost without hesitation: "Only the dead will keep secrets. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "The official family who is clear about this matter will make a decision in the future." ”

Chen Lin glared, "Do you want the official family to kill all the people in the palace?" ”

Kou Ji's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.

"Even if he kills all the people in the palace, I don't care, I don't want to hide it from him."

Chen Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Our family will not hide it from the official family, but we can't tell the official family about this before we catch that person." ”

Kou Ji groaned slightly, and nodded slowly.

Chen Lin opened his mouth and asked, "How are you going to catch that person, if you can't do it, our family can only search the entire palace in the name of searching for this moment." ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "A little eyebrows. This person can't be caught, so he can only find a way to invite him out. ”

Chen Lin frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you didn't know who this person was?" Since you don't know who it is, how do you lure him out? ”

Kou Ji stared at Chen Lin and said, "Because one sentence of yours reminded me and reminded me of another." ”

Chen Lin was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Kou Ji took a deep breath and said, "Only the dead keep secrets. ”

Chen Lin frowned, looking puzzled.

Kou Ji didn't explain much, he said to Chen Lin: "You send someone out now, go to the Ningguo Mansion, and invite Liu Mei into the palace." ”

"Liu Mei?"

Chen Lin said in a deep voice: "This matter has something to do with Liu Mei? ”

Kou Ji glanced at Chen Lin and said, "Just do it." I'll give you the answer when I get back. ”

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, and ordered someone to go to the Ningguo Mansion to invite Liu Mei into the palace.

After Chen Lin sent someone to leave, Kou Ji said to Chen Lin again: "Let's go to Concubine Yang's palace." ”

Chen Lin nodded slowly.

Kou Ji ordered someone to temporarily detain Gong E and the recorder, and then rushed to Concubine Yang's bedroom with Chen Lin.

When Kou Ji and Chen Lin arrived at the gate of Concubine Yang's dormitory, it was already late.

Kou Ji asked someone to give him a shout.

Concubine Yang asked the female official to lead Kou Ji and Chen Lin into the dormitory.

When Kou Ji and Chen Lin entered the dormitory, they found that Concubine Yang was sitting in the dormitory waiting for the two of them.

After Concubine Yang appeared, without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, she took the lead and smiled: "Kou Shumi went and returned, what happened?" ”

Kou Ji saluted Concubine Yang and said, "Minister Kou Ji see Concubine Niangniang......"

Concubine Yang waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. ”

Kou Ji didn't get up, but saluted again: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

Concubine Yang was slightly stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The mourning family didn't remind you of anything. ”

Kou Ji slowly got up, stared at Concubine Yang and said, "But even so, the concubine will not escape death." ”

Concubine Yang's smile suddenly stiffened on her face.

She glared at Kou Ji and said coldly: "The mourning family is the adoptive mother of the official family. ”

Kou Ji said coldly: "You still know that you are the adoptive mother of the official family? Then why do you want to help others and do such evil deeds? ”

Concubine Yang's face changed, and she said, "The mourning family is also forced to be helpless. ”

Kou Ji sneered: "It's a good one to be helpless. How do you think, you are not forced to be helpless, but that person is too stupid and has left a lot of handles, you are afraid of setting yourself on fire, so you will get out of trouble early. ”

"Presumptuous!"

Concubine Yang shouted angrily.

Not to be outdone, Kou Ji said: "Is the minister presumptuous, or the concubine presumptuous?" ”

Concubine Yang gritted her teeth and said: "The mourning family has said it, and the mourning family is forced to be helpless." ”

Kou Ji snorted coldly: "The concubine can deceive others, but she can't deceive the minister." The minister inquired many times, learned about the past of the concubine Niangniang, and knew what kind of person the concubine Niangniang was.

If you are the one who leads this matter, you will definitely not show the slightest handle to others, let alone reveal the slightest rumor to others, and it is even more impossible to admit to anyone that you did this matter. ”

Concubine Yang stared at Kou Ji coldly and did not speak.

Kou Ji continued: "It's because you didn't take the lead in this matter, the person in charge was too conceited and left a lot of tricks, and you knew that the matter would definitely be revealed, so you hinted at the minister, so that the minister could guess his identity."

You want to use this to make up for your mistakes, so that the officials can be relieved.

But your evil deeds are so shameless that the officials cannot spare you, and I cannot spare you. ”

When Concubine Yang heard this, she glanced at Kou Ji deeply and said, "Kou Ji, you are indeed smart. ”

Kou Ji said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The concubine is too famous, and the minister is not smart." If it weren't for the concubine's reminder, the minister wouldn't have guessed who the person behind it was. ”

Concubine Yang snorted coldly: "Since you have guessed who the person behind it is, then you can dig him out." ”

Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said, "Now, the handle of Concubine Niangniang is no longer the handle. Does this person still need to be dug up? ”

Concubine Yang sneered: "Didn't you say that the mourning family will definitely die? Why did the mourners help you dig people out? ”

Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said, "Because Concubine Niangniang has affection for the official family." ”

When Concubine Yang heard this, she sneered, "According to what you said, what the mourning family has done has exceeded the tolerance of the official family. If the mourning family is really affectionate to the official family, how can they do things that are beyond the tolerance of the official family. ”

Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "If the concubine Niangniang is ruthless to the official family, she will not see the people behind her reveal so many flaws, and it is impossible for her to confide the news to the minister, so that the minister can easily find out about it."

If the concubine is willing, there is a way to make the minister unable to find out the slightest news in this palace. ”

Concubine Yang glared at Kou Ji coldly and did not speak again.

Kou Ji continued: "Before Zhang Guifei was killed, the official family sent someone to investigate for a long time, but they didn't find the slightest clue.

Therefore, the official family sent someone to investigate for a long time, but they did not find the slightest clue.

This time, the person behind it shot again, and the concubine did not help the person behind him clean up, it should be the practice of the person behind him that touched the bottom line of the concubine.

That's why the concubine sat back and watched his flaws leak outside, and even reminded the ministers. ”

Chen Lin had already heard that his eyes were breathing fire.

Concubine Yang sat indifferently.

Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said: "It's just that the minister doesn't know something, that is, the concubine Niangniang obviously has affection for the official family, why would she sit back and watch the people behind her plot to kill Concubine Zhang?" ”

Concubine Yang was silent.

Koji kept staring at her for an answer.

Maybe she was annoyed by Kou Ji, or maybe she felt that there was no need to hide it now, Concubine Yang was silent for a long time, and then said lightly, "The Zhang family is not good, and the official family loves her too much."

If she gives birth to a prince, the official family will have to bear it.

The first emperor favored Liu E alone, Liu E did not give birth to a prince, and under the favor of the first emperor, he already had the right to lean towards the government and the opposition.

If Liu E gave birth to a prince, wouldn't she become the second Wu Cao?

A lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the back.

The official family is a generation of heroes, and his country should not be destroyed in the hands of a woman. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he was thoughtful, but Chen Lin shouted on the side.

Chen Lin stared at Concubine Yang and asked angrily, "In this way, Zhang Guifei is really your victim?!" ”

"Bang!"

Concubine Yang slapped the table and said coldly, "So what?" Can you still kill the mourners? In this Great Song Dynasty, only the official family can deal with the mourning family. ”

"You!"

Chen Lin's angry eyes erupted with fire, and she was about to scold when she stared at Concubine Yang.

Kou Ji stopped him, "She said well, only the official family can deal with her." ”

Chen Lin said angrily: "She has committed a heinous crime, and she is still shouting so shamelessly, how can our family tolerate her." ”

Kou Ji grabbed Chen Lin's arm and said in a deep voice: "She is not the evil leader, we have to use her to dig out the people behind it." ”

When Chen Lin heard this, he calmed down a little.

Because the person behind it must be caught, the person behind it is worse than Concubine Yang.

When Concubine Yang heard Kou Ji's words, she sneered, "Why did the mourning family help you arrest people. ”

Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said, "You remind the minister, isn't that the purpose?" At first, the minister couldn't guess your purpose. But after the minister experienced some things in the Korean beauty's dormitory, the minister roughly guessed your purpose.

The person behind it is not in the palace.

All the men that you have in his hands have lent to him.

If you are sincere in helping him, then if you can't get to the laundry room, Aunt Mei will probably die.

If you are sincere in helping him, then the palace maid in Chen Meiren's palace will not be able to live until now.

If you are sincere in helping him, then it is impossible for the two eunuchs hidden in Han Meiren's bedroom to do it under the noses of the ministers.

You understand the minister's temperament, so you specially killed Aunt Mei under the minister's nose after the minister found her, so as to arouse the minister's anger and let the minister investigate the matter.

You left behind the palace maids in Chen Meiren's palace and the two eunuchs in Han Meiren's palace.

It is to tell the minister the truth of everything.

Everything in the palace is your bureau.

Everybody is in your round.

Among them are ministers.

You set up this bureau just to expose this matter. ”

Concubine Yang stared at Kou Ji and said, "Why do you think this is the bureau of Mourning Jiabu?" ”

Kou Ji said bluntly: "The minister has known you from many people, and knows that you are a smart person, a person who does not leave any head and tail in his work. In the first emperor's dynasty, you did so many things, and no one could find out about you. Now so many flaws have been exposed.

I don't think that you, who are cautious, will show so many flaws.

Therefore, these flaws must have been left by you on purpose. ”

Concubine Yang said in a deep voice: "If the mourning family wants to uncover this matter, they can explain everything to the official family. Why bother to make such a fuss. ”

Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said, "Because you have affection for the official family, and the official family also has affection for you." If you have done something sorry for the official family, and you have no shame to face the official family, it is even more impossible to confide the truth to the official family.

Therefore, you can only borrow the hand of your ministers to uncover this matter. ”

"But after this matter is revealed, the mourning family still has to face the official family."

Concubine Yang said coldly.

Kou Ji shook his head slowly and said, "Love is deep, hate is cut." Once this matter is revealed, the official family will learn all the truth, and they will definitely not see you. ”

If it's just a plot to kill the emperor's heir.

Then Zhao Zhen will definitely meet with Concubine Yang and ask Concubine Yang for clarification.

But what Concubine Yang and the people behind her committed was not just a murder of the emperor's heir.

There is also the matter of messing with the royal bloodline.

After Zhao Zhen knew about this, I am afraid that he would not look at Concubine Yang more.

When Concubine Yang heard this, she no longer hid anything, she stared at Kou Ji, and said with an appreciative expression: "The mourning family knows that this matter has been put on your head, and you will definitely follow the thoughts of the mourning family to find out about this matter."

Now it seems that the mourning family did not see the wrong person. ”

Kou Ji didn't care about Concubine Yang's appreciation, he stared at Concubine Yang and said, "Now, Concubine Yang can hand over people, right?" ”

Concubine Yang nodded slowly.

Things have developed to the point that Concubine Yang wants, and Concubine Yang no longer has to care about the threat of the people behind her.

Concubine Yang nodded to the female officer beside her, and the female official quietly withdrew from Concubine Yang's bedroom.

Not long after the female officer withdrew.

A eunuch passed by, hurriedly entered Concubine Yang's bedroom, and whispered in Chen Lin's ear.

After Chen Lin finished speaking, Chen Lin said to Kou Ji: "Liu Mei has entered the palace......

Kou Ji sighed slightly and said, "Please come over." ”

Chen Lin gave an order to the eunuch, and the eunuch withdrew from Concubine Yang's bedroom.

Not long after, the eunuch led Liu Mei into Concubine Yang's bedroom.

Since Liu E's death, Liu Mei has been living in Liu's Mansion and has not appeared again.

Now that he sees Liu Mei again, Kou Ji finds that Liu Mei has become a lot richer.

It seems that Liu E's death not only did not suffer much blow to Liu Mei.

After Liu Mei entered the dormitory, she bowed down to Concubine Yang, and then bowed to Kou Ji.

When Kou Ji was giving Liu Mei a salute, he sighed with a complicated expression.

After Liu Mei gave the salute, she asked: "Concubine Yang, Kou Shumi, and Chen Daban, I don't know what happened to the three of them calling Liu Mei into the palace late at night?" ”

Concubine Yang sneered and did not speak.

Chen Daban looked directly at Kou Ji.

Seeing this, Liu Mei also looked at Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sighed and said, "This time I summoned you to the palace to let you see an old man who has disappeared for a long time, and also to let you kill one person and save another." ”

Liu Mei stared at Kou Ji stunned and said, "Who are you seeing?" Kill whom? Save whom? ”

Kou Ji stared at Liu Mei and said in a deep voice: "See your eldest son Liu Congmei, kill your eldest son Liu Congmei, and save your third son Liu Heng." ”

"Liu? From? Beauty? ”

"Liu Congmei?"

Liu Congmei, a person who disappeared after Liu E's death, a person who has been forgotten by almost everyone.
