In early October, Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi. Nature.2.

"Master Li, something has been found."

Li Hongyu was flipping through the file of Li Kezhuo's case in a clean and tidy room, and when he wanted to find a breakthrough in it, the door was pushed open, and Liu Han walked in excitedly, followed by a brocade-clothed guard with a wooden box in both hands.

The hundred-man put the wooden box in his hand on the table in front of Li Hongyu, and after opening it, there was a scale and some utensils used for medicine, which were very complete.

"Where did you find it?" Li Hongyu put down the file in his hand, glanced at the contents of the wooden box, and asked Liu Han quietly, it was obvious that the contents of the box were used by Li Kezhuo to make pills, and they were what Li Hongyu had been looking for.

Although he found a piece of physical evidence that could point to Li Kezhuo, it only pushed the case forward a small step and was not worth celebrating, so Li Hongyu behaved very calmly.

"Back to Lord Li, as your lord expected, Li Kezhuo didn't hide anything at home, this box was scavenged from the residence of a subordinate in the courtyard next door to Li Kezhuo."

Hearing this, Liu Han looked at the hundred households standing on the side, and the hundred households hurriedly bowed to Li Hongyu and replied in a deep voice, "Li Kezhuo used to pay to save the sick father of the subordinate, so he has been hiding the matter of the box for Li Kezhuo in order to repay his kindness. ”

It turned out that the people of Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi dug three feet into Li Kezhuo's house, almost turned the Li family upside down, and failed to find the equipment that Li Kezhuo used to make medicines.

Li Hongyu didn't think that Li Kezhuo had destroyed those tools, since he couldn't find those things in the Li family, he set his sights on the Li family's neighbors, maybe Li Kezhuo would hide in the neighbors.

As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, Li Kezhuo has also been in the capital for twenty or thirty years, and there will definitely be movement between him and his neighbors, if he is not a last resort, he is unwilling to do this kind of thing that disturbs the people.

Unexpectedly, Li Hongyu bet on the right one this time, and the people from Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town actually searched for this wooden box from Li Kezhuo's neighbor's house.

Because the subordinate who hid the wooden box has endured tremendous psychological pressure these days, as soon as the Jinyi guard's people found the wooden box, he was so frightened that he collapsed directly to the ground, and the bamboo tube poured beans, and confessed one by one.

"Lord Liu, did you find out what those powders were?" After asking about the wooden box, Li Hongyu suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but look at Liu Han, he wanted to know what the powder found in the utility room of Li Kezhuo's house was.

"Lord Li, Xiaguan has already sent all the famous pharmacists and doctors near Gyeonggi, and no one knows what these powders are?"

Liu Han couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and shook his head at Li Hongyu, even the medical officers of the Tai Hospital didn't know the origin of those powders, so it was not easy to find out what it was.

"It's not a way to investigate like this, and now the only way to do it is to go off the rails!"

Li Hongyu's brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and intuitively he thought that these powders seemed to be very important, otherwise Li Kezhuo would not have cleaned them up so carefully, so after a deep groan, he said to Liu Han with a serious expression, "You ask people to go to those three sects and nine streams in the capital to see if they know who will handle some rare and novel medicines." ”

"The lower official understands, this is what to do." Liu Han bowed to Li Hongyi when he heard this, and then left in a hurry, sending someone to contact the **** in the capital.

After Liu Han left, Li Hongyu stretched lazily, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to take a nap, the expression on his face looked a little solemn, he hoped to find out the case of Li Kezhuo's offering of pills as soon as possible, because there was not much time left for him to investigate the case.

As the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang gain a firm foothold with the support of Empress Li, a factional conflict of the largest scale is bound to break out in the officialdom of the capital to determine the situation in the political arena of the capital.

Whether the Donglin Party overwhelmed the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties, or whether the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties killed the Donglin Party, or whether the two sides were in a balance of power, everything is now unknown.

Li Hongyu knows very well that once the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang parties fight, then Li Kezhuo's matter will become a sharp blade for both sides to attack each other, and no one will pay attention to whether the "elixir" offered by Li Kezhuo is real or fake, and only think about how to defeat the other party, which will undoubtedly affect Li Hongyu's investigation of the case.

To this day, because it is not clear what the "elixir" offered by Li Kezhuo, that is, the later red pill, is, what it is, there are different opinions about the cause of Emperor Taichang's death.

Some people say that Emperor Taichang died by taking the red pill, and some people say that the death of Emperor Taichang had nothing to do with the red pill; Some people say that Emperor Taichang's old illness has not been cured, and some people say that Emperor Taichang's death was caused by fatigue; Some people say that Emperor Taichang's confusion about his female pet was that Empress Dowager Zheng deliberately harmed her; Some people also say that it is caused by the excessive amount of red pills and so on.

In the rumors of the outside world, the death of Emperor Taichang is shrouded in a layer of mystery, as if it has become an unsolvable mystery in the world.

Because the death of Emperor Taichang involved the Empress Dowager Zheng, it was said that the Empress Dowager Zheng secretly seduced Emperor Taichang with a woman, which made Emperor Taichang indulge in lust and die, and the Empress Dowager Zheng sent someone to poison Emperor Taichang and so on, Empress Dowager Zheng is now in Cining Palace is unable to sleep and eat, I don't know why there are such bizarre rumors in the world.

For this reason, Empress Dowager Zheng is very concerned about the progress of Li Hongyu's investigation, if Li Hongyu can find out that Li Kezhuo's "elixir" is harmful to Emperor Taichang, then she can clear the suspicion.

That night, in an elegant room of the celebrant.

"Dad, my son is back."

While Wang An was lying on a bed and closing his eyes to recuperate, a young chamberlain pushed the door and walked in and stood in front of the bed.

The reason why this young chamberlain wants to call Wang An "father" is not because he is Wang An's son, but Wang An's righteous son, and to put it bluntly, he is Wang An's confidant.

The inner servants in the palace are strictly hierarchical and factional, they are the royal minions, the eunuchs in the mouths of the courtiers, and they are out-and-out sluts in the palace, and their lives are similar to ants.

In order to survive in the cruel environment of the palace, the chamberlains naturally had to find backers to take refuge in, recognizing those powerful eunuchs as godfathers and calling themselves "sons".

"How's it going?" Wang An asked with a leisurely expression with his eyes closed when he heard this.

"Dad, my son has investigated, there is no change in the East Factory now, Father-in-law Wei only went to the East Factory once when he took office, and he has never been there since."

The chamberlain bowed to Wang An and said with a smile on his face, "As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, it seems that Gonggong Wei is very knowledgeable, and he knows that those people in Dongchang have taken refuge in his father, so he hasn't made a little movement." ”

"Father-in-law Wei is an old man in the palace, and he entered the palace in the same year as his father, but his father is luckier than him to serve Emperor Daxing." A smile appeared on the corner of Wang An's mouth, and he said lightly, "Dad has dealt with Father-in-law Wei for many years, he is a smart person, and he will not be ignorant of current affairs!" ”

"Alas, if it weren't for Emperor Daxing leaving so early, why would Dad care about Father-in-law Wei." As he spoke, Wang An couldn't help but sigh, and the look on his face looked a little gloomy.

Wang An has been in the palace for so many years, of course, he knows the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier, and it was after Emperor Taichang ascended the throne that he stepped on the seal of the former celebrant and the eunuch took charge of the inner court.

Now that Emperor Taichang has died, it is natural that Wei Zhongxian, a close attendant next to Zhu Youxiao, will take charge of the inner court and serve as the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch.

But Wang An finally got to the throne of the first person in the inner court, and enjoyed the power of being high up and supporting him, so how could he be willing to give up the wealth he got to others?

Unfortunately, fortunately, Zhu Youxiao is a young son of heaven and cannot govern himself, which gives Wang An a chance, no matter how Wang An served Zhu Youxiao when he was in Qingning Palace before, so he can be regarded as Zhu Youxiao's person, so Zhu Youxiao will not change him hastily.

Therefore, what Wang An has to do now is to suppress Wei Zhongxian, so that Zhu Youxiao has to rely on him to control the inner court, thinking that he is the most important person around him.

"Dad, when my son came back, I heard another news, and the queen mother seems to be intending to let the attendants around her enter the celebrant supervisor."

After Wang An finished sighing, the young chamberlain stepped forward and knelt beside the bed, and said while beating Wang An's legs, "Moreover, the people in the palace are also discussing, and many people want to join the queen." ”

"Hmph, a little waiter also wants to be in charge of Miyagi, and she doesn't have much qualifications yet! If it weren't for Emperor Daxing's mercy on her in front of Bintian, she would be just an imperial concubine at most now, how could she be qualified to stay in the Qianqing Palace? ”

Wang An suddenly sneered when he heard this, and a gloomy light flashed in his eyes, although Zhu Youxiao is not yet an adult, there is still Queen Li behind him, Queen Li will naturally install cronies in the celebrant supervisor, this is a huge threat to Wang An, how can he compete with Queen Li as a small minion?

Therefore, for Wang An, Empress Li was a huge obstacle in his career, and would rob him of his current reputation and status, which was extremely cruel for a eunuch who could not have children.

Compared with normal people, eunuchs also have seven emotions and six desires, but because they are already invalids, they regard the pursuit of power as the first goal of life, and Wang An will definitely not be restrained.

"Dad, what are we going to do with the queen mother?" The young chamberlain hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then asked tentatively, knowing that they were slaves and Empress Li was the master who would listen to the government, and could easily take their lives.

"We can't do it, aren't there those ministers who sell their fame and reputation and look like dogs!" The corners of Wang An's mouth showed a sneer, and he replied meaningfully.

"Dad, do you mean ......" The young chamberlain was slightly stunned at first, and then his eyes lit up, and he said with a look of surprise.

"Emperor Daxing has left, we can't fight alone." Wang An's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he replied gloomily, he will not be restrained!
