After Wang Gui followed the Han Wangfu Brigade into Beijing, he was immediately appointed as the celebrant and eunuch, and received a secret order to assist Gao Xianning. The case of the death of the first emperor involved people in the court; With the assistance of the celebrant and eunuch, it was more convenient for Gao Xianning to secretly investigate the case.

In the old palace of the Han King in the west of the imperial city, there are now people and horses of the former Han King guarding the North Division of the Imperial Mansion. Gao Xianning, the secretary of Dali Temple, was not in the government office, but set up a pavilion in the old mansion of the Han Dynasty, where he specialized in handling imperial cases. At the same time, he can call on the manpower of the Northern Division during the handling of the case.

When the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the study, Gao Xianning was sitting inside, as if he was thinking about something. At this time, Gao Xianning got up, and after saluting, he sat down again.

"Gao Siqing is still reading the file?" Wang Gui asked.

Gao Xianning said: "I've already finished reading it." But there is nothing to be done when you go out right now. He pointed to the dense scroll in front of him and said, "What can be found on the bright side, Xue Butang has all written on the paper." Very detailed. ”

Wang Gui asked tentatively, "Still clueless?" ”

There were only two people in the study, and Gao Xianning said clearly: "The Holy Lord thinks that 'Ma Gong' is a clue, and I think so too, and I was planning how to start just now." ”

Wang Gui nodded solemnly.

Gao Xianning glanced at him and said, "It's not clueless. 'Ma Gong' adopted the eunuch Wang Yin a few years ago, and although the people are gone, the temple is still there. I'm just weighing whether to check the mansion and ask the people who live nearby. Let's see if we can find some clues. ”

Wang Gui patted his head and suddenly said, "It makes sense!" Why didn't we think of it? ”

Unexpectedly, Gao Xianning shook his head and said, "I have already vetoed this method." As a last resort, let's not make a big splash and startle the snake! It has been more than a year since the case happened, but Ma Gong has never been involved; Maybe he thinks the rumors have passed, and the people are still in Beijing? Why did we bother to make him wary of it early? ”

Wang Gui was a little embarrassed and said: "At the moment, we don't know anything about him, so where to start; You can't just sit here and wait, right? ”

"The prince is right!" Gao Xianning said, "Another method that Xia Guan thought of was 'waiting for the rabbit'!" Waiting for Ma Gong to show up, this plan is more stable. ”

Gao Xianning pondered for a moment, then reached out and knocked twice on a piece of paper on the table, and Wang Gui hurriedly stretched his neck to see what was going on.

Gao Xianning said: "Just now we talked about the house where 'Ma Gong' lived, but there is also one best place to start, the eunuch Wang Yin himself!" At present, it can be determined that Ma Gong has contacted Wang Yin several times after he disappeared, and there must be a relationship between these two people! ”

On the piece of paper in front of him, there were a lot of scribbled words. Between the names "Ma Gong" and "Wang Yin", a thick line is drawn.

Wang Gui frowned and said: "The emperor said that Ma Gong contacted Wang Yin twice before, and Ma Gong took advantage of Wang Yin's departure from the palace to procure and unilaterally contacted Wang Yin; Now we only have Wang Yin in our hands, and we can't contact Ma Gong in the past! ”

Gao Xianning asked rhetorically: "How does Ma Gong know when Wang Yin will leave the palace to procure?" ”

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "There are still his people in the palace?" ”

"This person is most likely Wang Gou'er! Because Wang Yin was a eunuch in the imperial kitchen, and Wang Gou'er was originally a eunuch in Shangshan; Therefore, only Wang Gou'er is the easiest to determine in advance when Wang Yin will follow out of the palace. Gao Xianning said slowly while thinking about something.

Wang Gui thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense." In this way, Wang Gou'er is still suspicious. ”

Gao Xianning said: "Wang Gou'er has never gotten rid of the biggest suspicion!" ”

He continued, "This plan requires the help of the prince. Ask the prince to ask Wang Yin to continue to work in the imperial kitchen, and then call the eunuch Cao Fu to take Wang Yin out of the palace to buy things. You instruct Wang Yin again and ask him to go to the edict from time to time to bring food to Wang Gou'er...... After all, it's a godfather. ”

Wang Gui pondered for a long time, raised his hand and made a gesture and said: "Gao Siqing's meaning, let Wang Yin go out of the palace to procure, so that Ma Gong can contact Wang Yin; Let Wang Yin go in and out of the edict to give food to his godfather (Wang Gou'er) to make Ma Gong feel that there is an opportunity...... So Ma Gong may show up and let Wang Yin kill Wang Gou'er to kill him?! ”

Gao Xianning nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means." ”

Wang Gui said: "The edict is in the imperial city. How did Ma Gong know that Wang Yin could enter and leave the Imperial Prison? ”

Gao Xianning said quietly: "This person is very likely to be the culprit of poisoning and killing the first emperor, there should be someone in the palace!" Maybe he knows more than we think. ”

Wang Gui nodded thoughtfully, hugged his fists and said, "Our family is a layman in the trial, and we are just here to assist Gao Siqing." If Gao Siqing can use the place, just ask it. ”

Gao Xianning said: "Actually, I am also a layman, and I have never been a criminal law official before. ”

The two looked at each other. Wang Gui: "......"

Wang Gui thought for a while and asked: "Our family still has something to understand, why does Wang Yin have to listen to Ma Gong now and take the risk to go to the prison to poison and kill Wang Gou'er?" ”

Gao Xianning said: "Ma Gong deceived and used Wang Yin before, and now he can come up with a way; In Ma Gong's plan, Wang Yin may only be one of the links in destroying Wang Gou'er. Now there are too few clues, so let's try this method first. ”

After hearing this, Wang Gui agreed to Gao Xianning's plan, and then got up to leave.

Walking out of the study, Wang Gui met Du Erlang, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town; After the two of them met, Du Erlang went into the study.

Wang Gui glanced back and felt that Du Erlang seemed to be more familiar with Gao Xianning, because he didn't even knock on the door when he entered the study.

After walking through the corridor, Wang Gui saw Yao Fang again. Yao Fang waited there, hugged his fists and said: "The last general will be ordered by Gao Siqing to wait for the prince here." The last will send the prince out, please! ”

"Is General Yao okay?" Wang Gui glanced at his face and asked in a very close tone. Wang Gui knew that Yao Fang's sister was Yao Ji! And when he was in Yunnan before, Wang Gui also dealt with Yao Fang, and he was an acquaintance.

Yao Fang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay." ”

The two walked side by side in the direction of the gate of the old mansion, Wang Gui sighed and said, "Our family has heard about General Yao. What's wrong with you? Now that the emperor says something, it is Chrysostom and the law! No matter how bad it is, can't you let Ling Mei say a word in front of the emperor? How can General Yao take revenge, he has to go to the imperial prison to kill people. ”

Yao Fang was silent.

Wang Gui glanced down at Yao Fang's walking posture and whispered: "But General Yao's business is not big, Jinyiwei's official position is a fart!" You see, you have received fifty rods, and if you have been beaten hard, you will be able to walk now? The emperor has a lot of affection in his heart! ”

Yao Fang said: "The last general understands in his heart. He paused and said, "The last general didn't mean to make the saint angry. A while ago, I really couldn't get over that hurdle in my heart, and I was confused for a while. ”

Wang Gui frowned and said, "General Yao's father, didn't you know about it before, and I didn't see you come here!" ”

"It's not just that......" Yao Fang sighed.

So he told Miss Wang about the cause and effect. Wang Gui was going to return to the palace immediately, but at this time, he had to leave the gate of the old mansion after hearing about it.
