Chapter XXVIII
"Do you give me some reason, is the life of the mother of a nation so unpopular with you?"
"The emperor is serious, this case is indeed not easy to handle, in this harem, there are many female dependents, it is really a little embarrassing." Seeing that the emperor was really a little angry, Shangshu of the Criminal Department quickly knelt down and begged: "If there are people in the inner palace who are willing to assist the ministers, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Those who can make waves in the harem must not be idle people, maybe it is which master in this harem, and this matter is about the queen, whether it is found out or not, it is a matter of offending the master, and they are unwilling to investigate.
This wishful thinking is really ......
"Emperor, the mourning family looks at this Xi'er very cleverly, why don't you leave this matter to her?" The Queen Mother took Zhen Xi's hand and proposed.
"This Mrs. Zhen is indeed talented, but she is of low rank, and I am afraid that she will not be able to enter and leave the palace at will." Zhen Xi's talent he has seen before, and what he is worried about is that this matter involves many royal insiders, and she is an outsider......
"Emperor, this Xi'er is Li'er's concubine, although this is a concubine, it can be regarded as half a royal person, isn't it? As for the free entry and exit in the harem and unhindered handling of cases, isn't it simple, won't it be solved if you give her a supreme order? The Queen Mother decided that Zhen Xi was this time, and she just asked Zhen Xi if she was willing to take this stubble.
"Someone, go and bring me the supreme token." The emperor gave an order, and then said to Zhen Xi: "Mrs. Zhen, this case is handed over to you to investigate, are you willing?" ”
Where is he asking, obviously he is shoehorning it into her, he has asked people to take that supreme token, if she says she is unwilling at this time, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
I saw that the criminal department Shangshu looked at Zhen Xi expectantly, if she took it, it would be a solution to a ** annoyance for them.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey the concubine." Zhen Xi was blessed with a blessed body, and she responded to the expectations.
The reason why she agreed was not because she was forced to be helpless, but because this matter may have something to do with Iron Mask! She wanted to do what she could to help him!
And for Zhen Xi, she is not afraid of offending any concubine, even if they have the support of their mother's family?
Obviously, she is more or less a prince's person, and she is still hand-picked by the emperor, so they can't do anything with her. Secretly, Zhen Xi's martial arts are strong, and he will not be afraid of them coming to assassinate.
"Your Majesty, the Supreme Token has been brought." A father-in-law respectfully presented it.
The emperor picked up the token and said, "Zhen stepped forward to listen to the order." ”
"Yes!" Zhen Xi stepped forward and knelt down.
"Zhen's only acquaintance, now I have specially ordered you to be fully responsible for investigating the case of the queen's frightening, if necessary, the criminal department and the harem halls will fully cooperate, this is a supreme order will be temporarily given to you until the case is closed, see the order as if you see me, if you do not cooperate, behead!" As soon as the emperor's Chrysostom opened, the horses were difficult to chase.
"Emperor Xie, the concubine is ordered." Zhen Xi thought that he could take a supreme order and take it back, who knew that he would have to take it back, it was really boring.
"The Criminal Department will hand over the evidence and case-related materials with Zhen later." The Emperor commanded.
"Minister, obey the order." Shang Shu of the Criminal Department breathed a sigh of relief, and finally threw out this hot potato.
"It's all gone." The Emperor finished speaking and left.
And Zhen Xi also followed the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to the Criminal Department.
Everyone in the criminal department was surprised when they saw her and a woman come here.
"The emperor has just handed over the case of the queen's fright to Mrs. Zhen of the Li Wangfu for investigation, you go and bring the relevant things." The explanation of Shang Shuyi of the Criminal Department is even more surprising, this is the first time that Nanzhao's case has been handed over to a woman.
Surprise is surprise, the purpose is still to be followed, they have the person in charge of this case before sorted out the information in their hands and handed it to Zhen Xi, a whole stack, all of which are confessions asked before.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department took out a small box and put it in front of Zhen Xi, and said, "Mrs. Zhen, the contents of this box are all those filthy things. There are a lot of things, why don't I order someone to send them to King Li's mansion? ”
Zhen Xi waved his hand and said, "My lord, the concubine wants to go back to the palace after reading these materials here, and if there is anything I don't understand, I can ask you for advice in time." ”
If you just pick it up and walk away, won't it all depend on her head if something goes wrong?
"It's still Mrs. Zhen's thoughtfulness, when I see it today, Mrs. Zhen is really impressed!" It seems that there is a reason why she was favored by the Queen Mother to handle this case, Shangshu of the Criminal Department thought in his heart.
Zhen Xi found a place and sat down, she first read the confession, picked out a few people who thought there was a problem, and placed it in a separate place, I don't know how long it took to read it, and it didn't seem to be able to see any clues, let's just remember those few problems first, and focus on them in the future.
At this time, it was getting late, and before he knew it, Zhen Xi saw the evening from the morning, and even the petty officials who wrote copywriting on the side admired it.
Zhen Xi continued to check despite her hungry rumbling, and when she opened the box, she saw small things, each with a note attached to it.
Zhen Xi picked up a bell casually, and the corresponding note read: The emperor gave the eldest prince, the eldest prince, born by Concubine Liu, died three days after being born in the second year of Tianhe.
The eldest prince died three days after birth, so it shouldn't be an iron mask. So why did they leave Concubine Liu's handkerchief on the day of the moon viewing feast?
Zhen Xi took a closer look at the various small objects in the box, involving Concubine Liu, Concubine Chen, Concubine Liang, Concubine Xiao and General Xiao's family, Zhen Xi suddenly realized, this is a trick.
None of these objects come from the same person, or they are related to them and their descendants have joined together to seek revenge, or they are related to only one person, and the other objects are only to confuse the public and make it difficult to figure out who it is.
And the latter is more likely, so Tie Mian is not the descendant of Concubine Liu.
Zhen Xi put down the bell and picked up the ragdoll at the end, which should have been found in the queen's bedroom today.
It has the name of the eldest grandson queen written on it, and there are a few silver needles inserted into it, this should be the legendary witchcraft, right? Zhen Xi remembered that he seemed to have read a book before, which said that the ancient emperor's family affairs were the most taboo witchcraft.
Zhen Xi opened the corresponding note: The things in Xiao Guifei's room, Xiao Guifei, died in Hedinghong in the fifteenth year of Yu Tianhe!
This Xiao Guifei is so familiar, it seems that she has heard of it somewhere.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and looked at the puppet doll in her hand in a daze.
This Xiao Guifei is the legendary lady who was given to death because she touched the magic of witchcraft? It is said that her father, the high-ranking Zhenguo General Xiao Changying, and General Xiao's family were also wiped out because of this!
And this Concubine Xiao is Chu Beili's mother, General Xiao is his maternal grandfather, overnight, the mother family was wiped out, he was so young, he had to experience such sadness!
"My lord, is there a file for this witch case? Can I see the concubine's body? ”
"Mrs. Zhen, the file of this witch Gu case has an order from above, and you must have an edict to check it."
Looking at this file doesn't seem to have anything to do with this case, perhaps, she just wants to help Chu Beili take a look.
