Chapter 839: Li Yifu was surprised to meet the little nun
Wang Ping'an asked: "Uncle Shi, why do you want to use the little nephew's guards, it is inconvenient for them to enter the palace, who do you want to get rid of?" ”
Shi Zhongchen said with a smile: "Who else can it be, just to let you close the case, someone has to jump out and surrender themselves, isn't it, is it difficult to use a living person?" But if you want to get rid of that person, don't you want to do it yourself? ”
His meaning is very clear, anyway, someone has to "kill" Concubine Xiao Shufei, then just find a little eunuch, just say that this little eunuch has been beaten and scolded by Concubine Xiao and wants to take revenge, anyway, there is no proof of death, and no one will investigate. And when Concubine Xiao Shufei was in trouble, she was indeed *** by some little eunuchs, this is the foreshadowing, she was killed by her former enemies in the cold palace, which makes sense.
And if that little eunuch surrenders alive, it is impossible, who is not afraid of death? If you say something before you die, wouldn't it be troublesome, it's better to just use a dead man to get it, just need to stuff a "confession" in the pocket of this little eunuch, saying that he is the murderer of Concubine Xiao Shu, because he is afraid of being investigated, so he commits suicide in fear of sin.
But if you want to kill the little eunuch, you can't do it openly, and the little eunuch is not a woman like Concubine Xiao Shu, and the Shi brothers will do it, I'm afraid it may not be possible, let others kill it, and you have to kill other people's mouths, which is very troublesome, so it's better to use Wang Ping'an's men, that's the best. Anyway, Wang Ping'an's subordinates are like hemp, and they don't care about one more life in their hands!
But Wang Ping'an didn't do anything, his subordinates were very innocent, sweeping the floor without hurting the lives of ants, cherishing moths and gauze lamps, never doing murder and arson, and even more so not being able to enter the palace to kill people!
Wang Ping'an said: "Uncle Shi, even if you send the little nephew's guards into the palace to get rid of that person, but afterwards the little nephew will have to destroy their mouths, their mouths are not easy to destroy, maybe the little nephew will be destroyed first." According to me, it's better to use the official outside, let him get rid of the palace, and then I will get rid of him, isn't it better, anyway, that official must be eliminated! ”
Shi Zhongchen sighed and said, "You also brought an official?" The scapegoat was found so quickly! Very well, then let him in and show us at home! ”
Wang Ping'an agreed, went out in person, and brought Li Yifu in.
Li Yifu was an insignificant official, and this was the first time he had entered the central area of the palace. If the Guanyun Hall is compared with the outside, it is equivalent to the integration of the three provinces of Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province, and Shangshu Province, and Shi Zhongchen is known as the internal minister, and he is one of the top heavyweights in the Tang Dynasty, and he can crook his mouth to the eldest grandson Wuji!
In my life, I have never spoken face-to-face with such an important person! After Li Yifu entered the hall, without waiting for Wang Ping'an's introduction, he knelt on the ground, knelt down to Shi Zhongchen, and said: "Humble Li Yifu, participate in Shi Da's administration." ”
Shi Zhongchen hummed and said, "Raise your head and let our family take a look." ”
Li Yifu raised his head respectfully and let Shi Zhongchen see his appearance. Shi Zhongchen nodded and said, "He looks quite modest." Your name is Li Yifu? Very good, our family intends to accept you as a adopted son, are you willing? ”
Li Yifu is overjoyed, being a son of a eunuch is a shame for others, but it is not a shame for him, he can accept it completely, there will be no psychological embarrassment, such a big backer, but he couldn't even dream of it before.
He hurriedly said: "My father-in-law is above, and my son Li Yifu will kowtow to you!" He thought very well in his heart, thinking that in the Three Kingdoms era, a generation of celebrities Cao ***, that is also after the eunuch, and he is also the grandson of the eunuch, following the surname of the eunuch, as if he was his own grandson, and passed on the ancestry. What is this, it's just a matter of recognizing a father-in-law, and you don't even need to change your surname, you can get a super hard backer all of a sudden, which is a great thing, and there is an advantage to settling with eunuchs, that is, you don't have to give up your little wife.
Shi Zhongchen took in his son, and even he couldn't remember how many there were, one more was not much, and one less was not a lot, so he didn't care for a long time. He said: "In the Chaozhong Palace, countless people want to worship under our family, but our family is cheaper for you, do you know why?" ”
Wang Ping'an listened to it and grinned. Listen, be a son to someone else's eunuch, or someone else's eunuch will give you face! Shi Zhongchen and Wei Zhongxian both have a loyal character, I don't know what their origin is?
Li Yifu snorted, he was a clever man, so he could naturally think of why he was so "cheap" himself. He said: "My father-in-law is working hard for Concubine Xiao's case? The son is willing to share the worries of his father-in-law! ”
Shi Zhongchen nodded and said, "Okay, he is a good boy and knows how to be filial." Our family is indeed worried about Xiao's case, and it would be great if you solved it. You should follow your uncle and your father-in-law, and do what they tell you. Patriotic, this child will be handed over to you in the future, if the eldest brother is not here, you will take care of him, understand? ”
Shi Aiguo replied: "The eldest brother has a long life, how can he say such unlucky words." Yifu, this child, my younger brother will take care of it more in the future. ”
Shi Zhongchen hummed, closed his eyes, and waved his hand. Shi Aiguo and Wang Ping'an took Li Yifu out of the Guanyun Hall together and went to Ningxue Pavilion to solve the big case.
Out of the courtyard, Shi Aiguo pulled Wang Ping'an and whispered: "The person who is about to surrender is Mi Xiaomiao's subordinate, and he has been sent to sweep the floor in the imperial garden, which is very secluded and has many trees, which is very suitable for suicide in fear of crime!" ”
Wang Ping'an laughed dryly, and thought: "If you kill someone there, and you won't let the emperor go to play in the future, it's too much of a waste of palace resources." ”
The two of them walked slowly in front, and Li Yifu followed behind.
Li Yifu is now like a dream, he never expected that the day of his soaring prosperity would come so soon, so fast that he couldn't accept it. It's just that a case of Concubine Xiao Shu, how can so many big people be involved, Wang Ping'an needless to say, even the eldest grandson Wuji has been pulled in, and now the chief manager of the palace has given himself sweetness. What the hell is going on in this case, and how deep is this muddy water?
Li Yifu is a small person, he doesn't know anything inside, and he is not qualified to know, but he suddenly entered the center of the storm, he was really a little dazed, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only take one step at a time.
I didn't go directly to the Imperial Garden, but went to the Ning Xue Pavilion. Wang Ping'an pretended to be in the cold palace, inspected the scene, and was led by Shi Aiguo to see the body of Concubine Xiao Shu.
Concubine Xiao Shufei's body was not transported out of the palace, but parked in the backyard of Ningxue Pavilion, her case was not solved, so it was naturally impossible to transport it out of the palace for burial, and she still had the prince's concubine, and the emperor did not explain how to posthumously seal after death, so she could only stop in the cold palace.
Shi Aiguo personally opened the coffin, pointed to Concubine Xiao Shu inside, and said: "This case has to be closed soon, now the weather is hot, and in a few days, this corpse will stink!" ”
Wang Ping'an didn't go forward at all, a dead man, what is so good-looking, and how he died, he didn't know, he went to see it at this time, isn't he afraid of nightmares at night.
With a wave of his hand, Wang Ping'an said: "Brother Li, you go and take a look, look carefully, don't reveal any details." ”
Li Yifu agreed, walked to the coffin, looked inside, and saw Concubine Xiao Shu in the coffin, the body had changed color, and there was a faint smell emanating from it.
After just one glance, Li Yifu understood that Concubine Xiao Shufei was strangled to death, and the scars on her neck were extremely obvious, and she was strangled by a thin rope at a glance. He knew how the case would be concluded, the bigwigs had already arranged it, and now it was just a formality, and there was no need to take it seriously.
He also pretended to look at it for a long time, and then said: "Xiangye, the villain has seen clearly, the lady concubine was indeed strangled to death, this is certain." ”
Wang Ping'an hummed and said, "Then let's do it, close the lid, let's go out!" As he spoke, he walked out of the house first, and did not wait for a moment, and Shi Aiguo followed.
Li Yifu put the lid on the coffin, and sighed in his heart, in the past, during the celebration, he had seen Concubine Xiao Shu from afar, and at that time he only felt that this lady was delicate, she was really a rare beauty, and her concubine was compared to her, and it was like mud. didn't expect that such a big beauty would not die well, and I don't know who strangled her!
Suddenly, Li Yifu thought to himself: "Could it be that the queen sent someone to kill her?" Oh, most likely, it's a necessity! Just imagine, if it weren't for the queen's mother, how could this case involve so many big people, the prime minister, and the chief manager! ”
He has a low status, and he doesn't have a good mind like Di Renjie, so naturally he can't think of what is going on, so he can only guess randomly based on his own appearance.
The three of them came out of the Ning Xue Pavilion and stood outside waiting. Wang Ping'an and Shi Aiguo didn't speak, and Li Yifu naturally could only remain silent. After a while, a person walked quickly in the distance, looking at the same eunuch leader, but with a baby face.
Shi Aiguo said: "Mi Xiaomiao is here, it is estimated that things have been almost done." ”
When Mi Xiaomiao saw them, she approached quickly and said, "Uncle Shi, Wang Xiang." That man has been drunk by me, lying in his own room, who is he going to send to run errands? He asked, but his eyes looked at Li Yifu.
Things have been arranged a long time ago, as long as they are done step by step, it will be done, but Mi Xiaomiao was not in the Guanyun Hall just now, so I don't know who to send, but there is only an idle person in Li Yifu here, not him, and it can't be someone else.
Shi Aiguo pointed to Li Yifu and said: "This is your new brother, and it is also my eldest brother's adopted son, you will be commensurate with brothers in the future, you can tell him about the matter." ”
Mi Xiaomiao doesn't look like a eunuch, but he also has a rank, and he is a lot taller than Li Yifu, and he is an absolute chief. He snorted twice at Li Yifu, even if he finished saying hello.
Pointing to the road he came to, Mi Xiaomiao said: "You follow this road, rest assured, there is only one road, you will not go forks, keep going forward, twists and turns about a mile to come to the land, at the end of the road, a high wall, you go along the wall again, there is a small door, that is the side door of the imperial garden, you don't go in, there is a hut next to the door, after you go in, you will meet a guy who has drunk too much wine inside, is sleeping on the table, the rest of the things, you know what to do, right?" ”
Mi Xiaomiao looked Li Yifu up and down, and thought: "This person's body doesn't look very strong, didn't he say that Wang Ping'an's guards should do this, why should he be replaced by him, can he do it?" ”
Li Yifu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What should I do?" "He felt bad in his heart, his scalp felt stiff, he didn't let himself kill people, right?
Wang Ping'an stretched out his hand, patted Li Yifu's shoulder heavily, and said, "This is the trust of the chiefs in you!" Ah, do it with your heart, and don't let down the expectations of the commanders! ”
Li Yifu's cold hair stood erect, and he stammered: "Shish, what are you looking forward to?" "Is it really to let yourself kill people?
Wang Ping'an stretched out his palm, shook his fingers, and said: "Five-grade official, you are going up to the fifth grade, think about it, how many people can't survive this position in their lifetime!" ”
What Shi Aiguo said was not so subtle, and he directly stated, he said: "Didn't you see Xiao's corpse just now, just do it like that...... Oh, there's a difference, you don't strangle him first, he's drunk anyway, he won't struggle, you just tie a sleeve on the beam, just send his head in, the beams in that room are not high, but the chairs are not low. It's easy to do, just make a little effort! ”
Li Yifu almost fainted, and he said, "This is this, my nephew has no strength, and he can't hold it...... Also, my nephew is a foreign official, how can I walk in the palace, the imperial garden is the scope of the harem......"
Mi Xiaomiao pushed him and said, "Don't worry, during this time, there will be no one there, and you won't be able to touch anyone!" ”
Li Yifu was extremely frightened, it seems that the eunuch's righteous son is really not good, but it is really a fatal thing, just to kill his mouth, who can't do it? Why do you have to go on your own?
Wang Ping'an smiled: "It's okay, we're here, waiting for your good news." Peace of mind, you'll be fine! ”
Li Yifu was cornered, just like Cao *** who entered Huarong Road, he could only move forward, unable to retreat. Cao *** is the grandson of the eunuch, he is the son of the eunuch, although there is a difference of hundreds of years, but they are really a pair of difficult brothers!
There was really no way to think about it, Li Yifu had no choice but to walk along the path slowly, and heard Shi Aiguo shouting behind him: "Hurry up, don't let us wait here for a long time." ”
Li Yifu had no choice but to speed up and trot, the more he ran, the more scared he became, his legs were weak, and he had the posture of falling to the ground at any time.
Wang Ping'an asked in a low voice, "There really won't be an accident, right?" ”
"It's all arranged, no one will pass there during the day today!" Shi Aiguo smiled coldly.
After turning a corner, Li Yifu slowed down, almost rubbing, and moved towards the Imperial Garden, but no matter how slow he walked, there would eventually be a moment to come to an end. In the distance, he saw the house.
With great difficulty, he walked to the house, and hesitated at the door to go in, he had never killed anyone before, and now he was even more afraid than the little eunuch who was about to be killed.
Suddenly, on the other side of the courtyard wall, among the trees, a man stumbled out, and was desperately running here!
Li Yifu was taken aback, wouldn't it, it turned out to be a trap, as soon as I arrived here, someone arrested me? He looked at the passer, but he sighed softly!
I saw that this person who rushed over was not a eunuch or a guard who had arrested him, but a woman, bald monk's robe, and she was still a nun!
