When Concubine Sun Xiang said that, everyone felt that Concubine Sun Xiang's reaction was very strange.

Is she still living in her own fantasy, does she still feel that she is the concubine that everyone fears?

Di Bu glanced at Su Wuming, Su Wuming smiled, and then said, "Since Concubine Sun Xiang has already eaten, I don't know if she has eaten well?" ”

Concubine Sun Xiang looked at Su Wuming, her eyes widened, and after a long time, she nodded: "Naturally, it was eaten." ”

Su Wuming smiled and suddenly asked, "How many people eat?" ”

Hearing Su Wuming ask this question, Concubine Sun Xiang suddenly opened her mouth in shock, Gonggong Feng and Di Bu stood aside and laughed lightly, at this time, Su Wuming continued: "When I left at noon today, I saw that the palace people who delivered the meal sent you two butterfly dishes, seven or eight steamed buns and some desserts and wine, so many things, can you finish eating?" ”

Concubine Sun Xiang didn't say a word, but stared at Su Wuming, and at this time, Xinxin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I eat a lot, so I asked for a few more steamed buns, and the palace people who delivered the food knew about it." ”

After Xinxin finished speaking, Su Wuming snorted coldly, and then said to Gong Feng: "Gong Feng, send someone in to search!" ”

Gonggong Feng bowed slightly, then waved his hand, and as soon as he waved his hand, more than a dozen guards immediately rushed in outside, and those guards acted quickly and quickly searched the cold palace.

When they came out after searching the cold palace, there was already one more person in their hands.

And it's a man.

The man was about forty years old, and he was not very good-looking, probably because he didn't see the light of day often, so his cheeks were pale; His body was okay, not very thin, and when he was escorted out by the guards, his face was panicked, and he seemed to have sensed his fate.

In this cold palace, there is a man hidden, no matter who this man is, I am afraid that he must die.

The spring afternoon sun was a little more intense, Su Wuming came to the pavilion and sat down, he glanced at the man and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man wanted to speak and stopped, and after repeating this several times, he finally spoke: "Tong Qian." ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly: "Can you admit to the charge of murder?" ”

"I ......" At this time, Tong Qian knew that he was going to die, so he really had nothing to hide, but everyone had the idea of survival, and when they were identified as murderers, they would think about struggling.

So after Tong Qian and I said a few times, he shook his head: "I didn't kill anyone!" ”

Seeing that Tong Qian didn't admit to killing, Gonggong Feng suddenly became angry in his heart, and said: "Come on, beat me, dare to be hard when you die, hum!" ”

The guards were about to make a move, but Su Wuming suddenly stopped: "Gonggong Feng, it's not urgent to beat him for the time being, since he refuses to admit it, then the lower official will explain this matter clearly, and see if he still admits it, how about it?" ”

Although Gonggong Feng was very angry, he still nodded in agreement.

Su Wuming smiled, and then said: "Xiuxiu is a palace maid next to Meng Cairen in the palace, yesterday Shen Shi was found dead in the back garden, there are pinch marks around the neck, and the back of the head was hit with a blunt object, the murderer's method of killing is really not very clever, but it is very vicious, when I examined the body, I determined that Xiuxiu was strangled to death, and the murderer who strangled her must know her, in addition, Xiuxiu girl is no longer a virgin, she has a hairpin in her hand, and the hairpin is for the concubine in the palace, is naturally worthless, but for Xiuxiu, it can be regarded as precious, but where did she get the hairpin? ”

"At the beginning, I thought it might have been given to her by her master, but after asking, Meng Cairen and Concubine Sun Xiang both shook their heads and said that they had never given a hairpin to Xiuxiu, so I thought that Miss Xiuxiu was not a virgin, so I speculated that it might be Xiuxiu's good friend who gave it to her."

"But soon, after I asked Xuemei, I knew that the hairpin was not given to her by Miss Xiuxiu's friend, but that Miss Xiuxiu threatened someone to get it!" Speaking of this, Su Wuming glanced at everyone present, and then continued: "Women in the palace, if they are not favored by the emperor, they may stay in the palace for the rest of their lives, and if they stay in the palace, they will not be able to enjoy the joy of men and women, which can be described as torment for women, Xinxin is like this, Concubine Sun Xiang is like this, and even Xiuxiu is the same, but if there is a non-existent man in the palace, what will they do?" ”

"There is no hope of leaving the palace, so why not get physical pleasure from it!"

Su Wuming's words made Di Bu very incomprehensible, because he felt that these words were a bit off topic, did it have anything to do with the murder?

And just when Di Bu was puzzled, Su Wuming smiled lightly and said: "Miss Xiuxiu used to work under Concubine Sun Xiang, no matter whether Concubine Xiang intended to be sad about Xiuxiu before, Xiuxiu would feel very aggrieved and unwilling, so when Concubine Sun Xiang was beaten into the cold palace, and Xiuxiu became Meng Cairen's maid, Xiuxiu often came to the cold palace to find trouble with Concubine Sun Xiang, so over time, will Xiuxiu find the cat hidden in the cold palace?" ”

When Su Wuming said this, everyone finally understood what Su Wuming meant by what he said just now, in this cold palace, Xinxin and Concubine Sun Xiang were happy with Tong Qian, Xiuxiu found out, and naturally couldn't help but get a piece of the pie, and as long as they didn't say it, no one would know, because to the people in the palace, Tong Qian was a non-existent person.

"So when Xiuxiu found out about this, she was broken by Tong Qian that day, which is nothing bad for Tong Qian, after all, he is a man, naturally the more women the better, but the matter did not end like this, although Xiuxiu knew the secret and fell into it, but she was not reconciled, she also wanted to use this secret to seek more benefits for herself, such as asking Tong Qianyi or Xinxin and Sun Xiangfei for a hairpin or something, isn't it?"

Su Wuming said, glanced at Tong Qian, and Tong Qian at this time, his face was ugly, and even the last struggle was gone, he nodded and agreed with what Su Wuming said.

"At this time, Tong Qian and the others found out that Xiuxiu was very dangerous, and for their own safety, they had to find a way to get rid of Xiuxiu, and it was not difficult for the three of them to invite Xiuxiu to the back garden, and of course it was easier to kill a palace maid, isn't it?"

After Su Wuming's words were finished, Tong Qian confessed all the crimes.

It turned out that he was sold into the palace by his family to be a eunuch, but because there were often palace changes in the palace at that time, he escaped before becoming a eunuch, but although he escaped from the clean room, he had no way to escape from the palace, and finally had to hide in the cold palace.

Because there are often concubines who are beaten into the cold palace, and after they are beaten into the cold palace, most of them are lonely, so Tong Qian has stayed under the protection of these women for more than ten years, after all, those concubines are used to living a comfortable life outside, after entering the cold palace, although there are men to quench their thirst, but after all, it is only physical satisfaction, so most of those concubines are a few years later, either lonely to death, or because the outside political situation has changed, these concubines because they are the concubines of the former emperor, in order to set an example, they were pulled out and beheaded.

After more than ten years, Xinxin, the old palace maid, has stayed in the cold palace, and Tong Qian is dependent on each other.

After Tong Qian confessed all his crimes, Gonggong Feng and Su Wuming Dibu hurriedly went to the imperial study to explain the matter, and after listening to it, Emperor Li Yan praised Su Wuming and Di Bu very much, and said: "The two of you have solved the murder case of the palace maid in just one day, and found out Tong Qian who is hidden in the palace. ”

After Li Yan praised Su Wuming and them, he ordered the two of them to get up and leave, waiting for the reward.

said that after Su Wuming and Di Bu left the palace, they didn't say a word, of course, it wasn't that they thought that the emperor would reward them, or they were frightened inside, but they were shocked by the things behind this case.

The palace wall, the old palace maid, the lonely flowers.

I don't know how long I walked like this, Su Wuming suddenly felt sad, and couldn't help but groan:

The ancient palace is sparse, and the palace flowers are lonely and red.

The white-headed palace maid is here, sitting idle and talking about Xuanzong.

After this chanting, the two were still silent, all the way to Dali Temple, at this time it was already around the time of Shen, the sunset on the horizon, and the entire Chang'an City was hazy.

When I returned to Dali Temple, many colleagues had already left, and the two went home after sorting out the case.

The next day the sky was cloudy, as if there was going to be a spring rain, before Su Wuming went to Dali Temple, Tang Xiong specially sent an umbrella, plus a letter, the letter came from the Su family workshop in Luoyang City, it was written by Wen Waner, which did not write anything important, the paper was just a feeling of longing, after Su Wuming read it, he put the letter into his arms, why didn't he miss the two wives at home.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an City with an oil-paper umbrella, Su Wuming looked quite leisurely, and the pedestrians on the street were like this, they seemed to be like Su Wuming, thinking that they could come to the next poetic spring rain.

When he came to Dali Temple, his colleagues came to congratulate Su Wuming, saying that he and Di Bu were quite involved in the murder of the palace maid, and they had to be promoted to the rank of knight, Su Wuming only smiled lightly at this, this case is also a secret news in the palace, no matter whether those concubines in the cold palace are Li Yan's concubines or not, he will not think of letting others know about it.

Therefore, Su Wuming felt that even if the emperor really wanted to reward them, I am afraid that there would be a lot of restrictions on them.

And things are really as Su Wuming guessed, before noon, the emperor's holy decree finally came down, Di Bu was promoted to Dali Cheng, from the six grades, in charge of the prison sentence; Su Wuming was promoted to Dali Sizhi, from the sixth grade, but he had to go to the Jianghuai area to deal with the state capital of the suspicious case, and he had the right to send a messenger!
