Gongliang Rongruo was stunned and said, "Dead? ”

"Yes. The murderer sealed the mouth of the well with a large stone, apparently not wanting to be discovered. If it weren't for the minion who happened to bump into it, I don't know when this matter would have been discovered. ”

Yingyi's gaze swirled on Xiao Shunzi, who was hanging his head, "Do you suspect that it was killed by Father-in-law Shun?" ”

Yuan Chun replied: "There are only two of them in the cold palace, except for the head of Shun, I can't think of anyone else." ”

Yingyi didn't speak, but there was lingering doubt in her eyes, and so did Gongliang Rongruo. He knew that Xiao Shunzi had been in the palace for many years, and he had some skills, but it was hard for him to believe that he had killed people.

Xiao Shunzi trembled and knelt down, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the slave has not been to the cold palace at all today, nor has he seen any men outside the palace, everything is a lie made up by Yuan Chun." Don't trust him! After that, he stared at Yuan Chun and said bitterly: "When you entered the palace purely, I saw that you were smart and clever, so I took you as an apprentice and taught you to do things hand in hand." Later, you played right and wrong in front of Your Majesty and wanted to expel me from the palace, but I didn't care about you because of the master-apprentice relationship, and I always thought that you would change your ways. How do you know that you have intensified and made up such a lie to frame me, you ...... Do you still have a conscience? ”

Facing his questioning, Yuan Chun said excitedly: "If I don't have a conscience, I won't be so sad after knowing that you killed someone, and I won't think about whether you were forced or not, and what you have to do!" ”

Xiao Shunzi said with a pale face: "I didn't kill anyone." ”

Yuan Chun shook his head and said abruptly: "You didn't just kill someone, you still did it deliberately." After that, he kowtowed to the half-believing Gongliang Rongruo, "Mr. Shun is a slave master in the end, a teacher for one day and a father for life." The slave didn't want to wronged him, so he didn't report to His Majesty immediately, but went to the palace gate to ask the forbidden army. That person was from outside the palace, and the forbidden army should know something. Sure enough, the minions asked the identity of the man, and his name was ...... Wang He! ”

Yingyi's heart fluttered, "Are you sure your name is Wang He?" ”

"Yes! The guard told me that he claimed to be the distant cousin of the Yingyi girl, and had taken the opportunity of coming to Kaifeng on an errand to visit the Yingyi girl. The guard felt that it would not be easy for him to make a visit, so he thought of finding someone to inform the girl in Yingyi so that you could come and see him. As a result, Xiao Shunzi happened to pass by, and he said that His Majesty had sent a girl to run an errand, and he couldn't come for a while, so he took Wang He to see the girl. He also said that if there is anything, he will take it all in. ”

Yingyi's face was very ugly, and Wang He was one of the people she sent to monitor Gongliang Yuzhi. Suddenly returning to Beijing at this moment, and pretending to be his cousin to meet in the palace, there must be something going on on King Ning's side. As a result, before he saw the face, he was killed by Xiao Shunzi, could it be that he was King Ning's person?

It was inconvenient for her to tell the truth, so she could only say vaguely: "Your Majesty, Wang He is indeed the cousin of the slave." When they were young, they often played together, and he treated slaves and maids very well. A while ago, the slave maid also received a letter from him, saying that he was going to the north to handle some goods, and that if he had time, he would come to Kaifeng to visit the slave maid. At that time, Wu Guo happened to invade the border, and when the slave replied to the letter, he specially told him to be careful. I don't know that he didn't have an accident in the north, but was poisoned in Kaifeng. It's a slave...... The slave and maid harmed him. As she spoke, she knelt down on her knees and said with tears in her eyes: "Please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the slave and maid, and give the slave and maid cousin justice!" ”

If Gong Liangrong knew Yingyi's background, listening to her words, he already understood Wang He's identity, and said in a deep voice: "I will find out about this matter, you get up!" ”

After Yingyi got up with tears in her eyes, Gongliang Rongruo stared at Xiao Shunzi with a gloomy face, "What Yuan Chun said, is it true?" ”

Xiao Shunzi said with tears on her face: "The slave and the girl in Yingyi have no grievances, how could they kill her cousin?" All this is Yuan Chun's framing of the minion, Your Majesty must not believe him! ”

Yuan Chun immediately said: "Your Majesty, the corpse is in the dry well, as long as you send someone to take a look, you will know whether what the slave said is true or false." There are also the two forbidden army guards from the Shenwu Gate who have seen Wang He, which can also prove that what the slave said is true. ”

After a short silence, Gongliang Rongruo shouted, "Someone! ”

With his reprimand, the two inner supervisors pushed the door and walked in, bowed after saluting, and waited for Gongliang Rongruo's command.

"Immediately send someone to check on the dry well in the backyard of the cold palace, and if you find a corpse, immediately carry it over. In addition, the two forbidden soldiers who were on duty at the Shenwu Gate came, and I had something to ask them. ”

When the two internal supervisors heard this, they didn't ask much and retreated.

After the two eunuchs left, the hall was silent, and the anger was almost suffocating. Gongliang Rong supported his forehead with his hands, and leaned on the throne of the Nine Dragons with his eyes half-closed.

With the flickering sky outside the window and the howling wind, there was a faint sound of muffled thunder, and it seemed that there was going to be a thunderstorm today.

When the heavy rain poured on the ground of Zhaoming Palace, the two eunuchs came back and replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a corpse hidden in the dry well of the Cold Palace. The servant had already carried the corpse over as His Majesty had ordered, and it was outside. In addition, the two forbidden soldiers of the Shenwu Sect were also waiting outside. ”

Gongliang Rong Ruo raised his head slightly, got up and said to Yingyi: "You go out with me." ”

Seeing Gongliang Rong coming out, all the palace people waiting under the eaves knelt down and saluted. Yingyi lifted the white cloth covering the corpse and took a look, returned to Gongliang Rongruo's side, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it is indeed the person sent by the slave maid to monitor King Ning, if he is really killed by Xiao Shunzi, this matter will not be simple." ”

Gongliang Rongruo looked at the heavy rain pouring outside the eaves, and said with a solemn face: "After the rain stops, immediately fly the pigeon to pass the book and ask what happened over there." ”

After Yingyi responded, he turned his gaze to the two guards, and said expressionlessly, "Come in with me!" ”

"Yes." The two guards didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed Gongliang Rongruo into the main hall.

As soon as they stood still, a voice as cold as frost rang out, "Do you know the man who died?" ”

The guards recounted what had happened. After hearing this, Gongliang Rongruo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Are you sure that the person who took Wang He is Xiao Shunzi?" ”

The guard quietly glanced at Xiao Shunzi, and said with a flustered expression: "Subordinates, sure." ”

Gongliang Rongruo walked to Xiao Shunzi's side with a gloomy face, and said coldly: "The human and material evidence are all there, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Shunzi's body trembled uncontrollably, kneeling down and kowtowing, "The slave is wronged!" The minions really didn't kill anyone, please see your majesty! ”

"Dog thing!" Gongliang Rongruo kicked him to the ground, and said in disgust: "Until now, you are still full of lies!" Say, why do you want to kill Wang He? ”

Xiao Shunzi didn't care about the pain in his body, quickly knelt down again, and wept: "Your Majesty, the slave has been with you for many years, and you know best what kind of person the slave is." Besides, the slave is no longer a complete person, and he is so thin, where can he have so much strength to kill, let alone throw his body into the well. All this is Yuan Chun's tricks, he has wolf ambitions, and he has always wanted to seek the life of his slaves, Your Majesty, don't fall for his tricks! ”
