"Miscellaneous people, etc., all disperse." Suddenly, a voice was heard in the distance.

A large crowd quickly surrounded the corridor, and one man walked towards it with four of his men. Wang Laohu didn't know who the person was, but from the momentum, it could be seen that this person must not be simple. Wang Laohu put away the bag he picked up and put it in his arms.

Lord Cao stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Lord Zhu Yaozhu." ”

"Lord Cao, you, an official of the Criminal Department, are also in charge of this palace? The murder of this palace will not be a waste of Lord Cao. Good luck to you.

"Lord Zhu, it's not Cao who wants to take care of it, it's just that the emperor ordered me to investigate the case of Concubine Hui's violent death, and it just so happened that this girl was unfortunately killed, I suspect that there is a connection between these two cases, so I came to check."

"The emperor only ordered you to investigate the case of Concubine Hui, so you don't have to worry about this girl's affairs. Lord Cao, please go back. ”

Not long after this murder happened, Lord Zhu came, and it came so quickly, there may be some kind of implication in it, Wang Laohu thought.

"Lord Zhu, this murder has just happened and I bumped into it, and it seems to be involved in the case of Concubine Hui, how can I sit idly by." Cao Daren.

"Hehe, Lord Cao seems to be very confident in solving this case, how do you know that this girl is related to the case of Concubine Hui? How big a wave can a girl make, and how much can she kill that Concubine Hui? ”

"I'm just guessing now, in such a short period of time, there have been two murders in the palace, and it must not be simple behind this."

"This folk has long been rumored that as soon as the spirit fox comes out, the world will be chaotic, and these two people will be killed, maybe it was the crime committed by the spirit fox. This spirit fox knows the heavens, and everything is done according to the sky. "Good luck to you.

Under the pretense of Linghu again, Wang Laohu guessed that today's homicide was unusual. He suddenly saw something on Lord Zhu's trousers.

Lord Cao wanted to argue about something, but Wang Laohu pulled down Lord Cao's sleeve and shook his head at him, Lord Cao understood, and said, "Since Lord Zhu said so, it is inconvenient for me to stay here longer, so I will leave it to Lord Zhu here." ”

With that, he and Wang Laohu retreated.

In the evening, temporary accommodation.

"It seems that we are getting closer to the truth. So the people behind this can't help it. Master Cao said.

"The more this person can't hold on, the more this person will show his feet, and the easier it will be for us to solve the case. I'm afraid that this man knows everything about us, and the closer we get to the truth, he will cut off our clues with a single sword. Wang Laohu said worriedly.

"Wang Gongzi thinks our clues are broken again? As soon as this pearl girl died, we couldn't find out? ”

"This Po Zhu will not die sooner or later, as soon as we look for her, she will have an accident, which means that she has something to do. There are only a few people who know that she is going to get the tips? In other words, these people are suspicious people. ”

"Wang Gongzi, do you mean that the queen mother, and this girl Po Yun is the suspect who killed this Po Zhu?"

"At the scene of the murder today, the queen asked Po Yun to check if it was Po Zhu? When Po Yun said it was Po Zhu, you noticed that the queen mother's expression was not, and she showed a hint of a smile, although it was very short, but this smile was very weird. That's the smile she wore when she was confirmed. ”

"Wang Gongzi, do you suspect that the accident with the girl is related to the queen's mother?"

"Master Cao, don't you think it's strange? Something happened to this girl, and the master was not sad at all, but walked away. ”

Master Cao also fell into deep thought.

"Also, it was only a short time after this murder happened, and Lord Zhu came in a hurry, which is a little faster."

"Could it be that Wang Gongzi suspects that there is something wrong with Lord Zhu?"

"What kind of official position is this Zhu?" Wang Laohu asked.

"This Lord Zhu's full name is Zhu Yao, and he is one of the hundred households in the East Factory, and he is six products."

Wang Laohu took out the bag left by Pezhu from his arms, which was the same as the usual bag, no different.

Is this case involved in the East Factory?

"Childe, when I ordered me and Pan Tai to look around, I saw a figure hiding more than ten feet away from us." Rong Yu said.

"Can you see the man's face?"

"It's so far away, I can't see it clearly. When Pan Tai called Childe, and you checked there, I noticed that the man had moved to our side, and I had been hiding aside. He didn't leave until the people from Dongchang arrived. ”

Is this man spying on us? We haven't found this person, and if so, then this person's work is enough. If we make a bold assumption that this man is the murderer, he is right under our noses, and we don't know it, this opponent seems too terrible.

After Lord Cao left. Wang Laohu thought about another piece of information provided by the queen mother. When Wang Laohu asked Concubine Hui if she and the personal girl were on good terms, the queen mother said: "Mingyue, this girl accidentally broke a cup. Originally, this was also a trivial matter, but then Mingyue and Qiu Neng quarreled somehow. Concubine Hui also scolded Mingyue a few words. "There is a message hidden in this, if these two people do not agree or Mingyue has a grudge, this Mingyue may be the one who poisoned it. But Mingyue said: "Concubine Hui will ...... immediately." She also rewarded the slaves after eating...... The slave was reluctant to eat a piece, so she wrapped the pastry in a cloth and put it on the side of the cabinet, ready to eat it after the mother went to bed. "It seems that Concubine Hui still remembers Mingyue when she eats, and before she eats, she rewards Mingyue with a piece.

What is the purpose of the queen mother's words, is she trying to blame Mingyue?

Or is Mingyue lying? If Mingyue lied at the beginning, we would follow her nose, everything was calculated by her, she was the real murderer, and we still checked it thousands of times.

But Wang Laohu immediately rejected his own idea. Because of Mingyue's sentence "These things...... I'm ...... Didn't ...... with others Say, I'm afraid that if I don't say it now, I won't have a chance to say it. He believed what Mingyue said, Wang Laohu chose to believe Mingyue's words, that is, he didn't believe the words of the queen mother, the queen mother was lying, she wanted to blame Mingyue, and she was deliberately misleading Wang Laohu.

Now there is a new goal in the case: the suspicion of a queen mother has increased, not only because of misleading Wang Laohu, but also because of the murder of her personal maid, in addition to the surprise she showed in the dormitory, she showed indifference and weirdness after seeing the corpse confirmed; Second, the East Factory seems to be inseparable. "The death of these two people may have been committed by Linghu. This spirit fox knows the heavens, and everything is done according to the sky. "Carefully scrutinize these words, it seems that I don't wish the adults to know about this, everything is done according to the sky, what is the sky, what is the meaning, is there a bigger conspiracy here.

The more Wang Laohu thought about it, the more terrifying it became, if it was really the same as his own guess, this emperor?

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the Criminal Department began to investigate the fourth day of the violent death of Concubine Hui.

Temporary accommodation.

"Prince Wang, where are we going today?"

"Lord Cao, today we are divided into two paths, Lord Cao, you go to verify two things. 1. On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, is the emperor in the palace of the concubine Xi? 2. Is the Empress Empress in the Qi Concubine Niangniang Palace on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve? What is the reason for the pearl to come out? What's so strange about her coming out? ”

"What are your plans for today?" Lord Cao said to Wang Laohu.

"I'm going to find the person who killed Perju, and now this person is the key person."

"Wang Gongzi already has a clue?"

"It's kind of a few clues, I hope there will be some eyebrows today."

"Rong Yu, let's go to the palace again today, you pay attention to the surroundings, if that person appears, we will find a way to arrest him."

"Rong Yu obeyed."

"Then we'll go both ways, go our separate ways, and gather here at night." After speaking, Lord Cao and Wang Laohu walked out of the temporary residence and went to the palace.

Lord Cao went to Concubine Qi's residence, while Wang Laohu was outside Concubine Qi's dormitory. Wang Laohu's mind appeared in the place where Qiu Neng knocked over the pastries should be near Concubine Qi's dormitory, and Po Zhu just came out of Concubine Qi's dormitory and took a picture with Qiu Neng here, this place should be here.

Wang Laohu looked at this place, this place has a wide line of sight, Qiu Neng girl came over from there, saw the spirit fox in this place, and the cake was spilled on the ground, at this time Po Zhu passed by, leaned over, and helped Qiu Neng pick up the pastry. If it was Per Zhu's hands and feet, then only in this place did she have a chance. She sprinkled the pre-hidden poison on the pastry, and then unknowingly returned the pastry to Qiu Neng.

Wrong. This is how it should be, when Po Zhu picked up the pastry and put it on the plate, she sprinkled the poison on the pastry and the plate.
