Regarding Su Wuming's request, Di Bu was very hesitant.

If it is a person outside the palace, let Su be nameless, but now the deceased is a palace maid in the palace, a woman in the palace, how can she take off her clothes for inspection? And also test**!

Facing Di Bu's hesitation, Su Wuming smiled lightly: "Master Di, please look at the palm of the deceased, there is a hairpin, the price of this hairpin should be expensive, it is definitely not something that she can afford as a palace maid, and she can have this hairpin, it is nothing more than two situations, one is the master's reward, and it is sent by the good side, but it is not sent by the good side, I am afraid that there is only a priori the deceased's **, to see that she is still not a virgin." ”

After listening to Su Wuming's words, Di Bu felt that it made sense, but he was a little surprised, and asked, "Do you have a way to verify whether she is a virgin?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Exactly!" ”

Seeing that Su Wuming was so sure, Di Bu didn't want to say anything, but said: "Although I agree to this matter, I still have to discuss it with Gonggong Feng." ”

"This is natural!"

A fragrance of flowers wafted in, very clear, Su Wuming and Di Bu came to Gonggong Feng and told them that they were going to conduct an autopsy tomorrow, but Gonggong Feng didn't pay attention to it and immediately agreed.

Subsequently, Su Wuming and Di Bu asked some information about the deceased.

The deceased was named Xiuxiu, who had been in the palace for some time, and was going to be sent out of the palace in two years, before being the maid of Sun Xiangfei, the beloved concubine of Emperor Wenzong Li Ang, and later Li Yan ascended the throne, this Sun Xiangfei was beaten into the cold palace because she was the concubine of Wenzong, and Xiuxiu became the personal maid of the current emperor Li Yan's concubine Meng Cairen because of her cleverness.

Su Wuming was very surprised when he first heard that Xiuxiu was Meng Cairen's maid, and when Di Bu found that Su Wuming's face was different, he hurriedly asked, "Did Master Su find something?" ”

Su Wuming shook again and again, what did he find there, he just didn't think that Xiuxiu was Meng Cairen's maid, Su Wuming was familiar with ancient classics, and he still knew something about this Meng Cairen, it is said that when Li Yan was seriously ill, he called her forward and asked him what Meng Cairen was going to do after his death, Meng Cairen hugged the sheng bag and cried, saying that he was willing to hang himself, Li Yan acquiesced, Meng Cairen sang a song "He Manzi" to send grief, but Meng Cairen sang it, and fainted in front of Li Yan's bed.

At that time, the poet Zhang Hu sympathized with Meng Cairen's plight and wrote "Meng Cairen's Sigh": Occasionally, because of the delicate singing, he sang the twelve springs in the palace. But for the sake of He Manzi, the next spring must hang Meng Cairen.

Su Wuming couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of this, but soon, he returned to normal and continued to ask about Xiuxiu.

Su Wuming asked Gonggong Feng, who in the palace nobles had ever given Xiuxiu hairpins, and shook his head and said I don't know, it is normal for the nobles in the palace to give the palace maid something, and he will not say in a high-profile manner that he is the father-in-law who waits for the emperor and does not know these things in the harem.

Su Wuming bowed slightly, thinking that if he wanted to know if someone was sending him off, he was afraid that he would have to ask Meng Cairen.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Su Wuming and Di Bu entered the palace to inspect the body, Di Bu was also a master in the autopsy before, but he had never tested a woman**, so when Hua Lang wanted to inspect that place, although he felt that it was unbearable, he also wanted to see what Su Wuming had to do.

On this day, Su Wuming ordered someone to carry the corpse to the light, and then took off the clothes on the corpse one by one, at this time there were corpse spots on the corpse, and the snow-white skin was a little tarnished, and even after the clothes were taken off, Su Wuming checked it first, and saw that there were no other external injuries on the body, so he wrapped the fingers that had cut off the nails with cotton wool and stretched them into Xiuxiu's yin household.

At this time, Su Wuming said to Di Bu: "Lord Di, please see, if the deceased is a virgin, there will be dark blood here, but now there is no here, I think Xiuxiu has been broken." ”

Dibu looked down and saw that it was.

And if Xiuxiu is no longer a virgin, then in this palace, who broke her body?

In the inner courtyard of the palace, the palace maids are lonely and wandering alone, if they are not favored by the emperor, they can only guard themselves until they are dismissed from the palace, but many palace maids have no life to be dismissed from the palace at all, and can only stay in the palace for the rest of their lives.

But who is this man, and who is so bold?

After carrying the body away, Di Bu and Su Wuming asked Gonggong Feng for advice, saying that they wanted to meet Meng Cairen and ask a few questions.

If you want to ask Meng Cairen, this is not a joke, Gonggong Feng hurriedly went to ask the emperor Li Yan, Li Yan didn't feel anything, only said that as long as he could solve the case, he could ask anyone he wanted.

This undoubtedly gave Di Bu and Su Wuming a great authority, but even so, they didn't dare to use it indiscriminately, after Duke Feng led them to Meng Cairen's palace, the two of them first saluted, which explained their intentions, and asked Meng Cairen if they had rewarded the hairpin.

Meng Cai's body was graceful and light, Su Wuming only glanced at it, and wondered if she could dance in her palm like Zhao Feiyan.

And just when Su Wuming thought like this, Meng Cairen smiled slightly: "Although Xiuxiu is my personal maid, she is not a person I love very much, like that kind of hairpin, although it is good, I can't look down on it, so I have never rewarded Xiuxiu with this kind of hairpin." ”

Meng Cairen may be accustomed to seeing battles in the palace and dead people, so she does not have a little sadness about Xiuxiu's killing, although Di Bu and Su Wuming are puzzled, they can't say anything.

At this time, Su Wuming asked, "What kind of palace maid does Meng Cairen think Xiuxiu is?" ”

"It's still clever, but sometimes I like to be lazy, and I like to be opportunistic, but other than that, it's nothing!"

"And is there anyone else who knows her?"

Meng Cairen frowned slightly: "How can this kind of thing be paid attention to by this palace, you want to know, go and ask Xuemei who sleeps with Xiuxiu!" ”

After Meng Cairen finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he had the intention of sending off the guests, Di Bu and Su Wuming bowed down and retreated.

Out of Meng Cairen's dormitory, Di Bu and Su Wuming asked Gonggong Feng to meet Concubine Sun Xiang, the former concubine of Wenzong, and ask her a few questions, hoping to get some clues from her.

Gonggong Feng got Li Yan's order, so naturally Di Bu and Su Wuming went there, and he led it there.

The cold palace is no different from other dormitories, except that it is more desolate, the people inside are less free, and the people outside pay less attention to them.

Entering the cold palace, the wildflowers in the corner of the wall have already opened in the wind, and occasionally you can smell a burst of fragrance, but in this cold palace, there are more weeds.

The crazy weeds are covered with moss on the stone steps, and even on the palace wall that is already a little mottled, there are their figures, the wind blows, the weeds dance in the wind, although it is verdant, but it gives people a sense of depression and loneliness.

There is a pavilion in the courtyard of the cold palace, there are two women in the pavilion, one woman is very old, about fifty or sixty years old, the years have left too many traces on her face, but she looks at the other woman sitting with a cold and stern face, as if she is full of worries, and as if she is sad all day.

The woman sitting was about thirty years old, although she also looked sad, but the charm was still there, a pair of eyes were as bright as stars in the night sky, but at this time she stared at the stone table in the pavilion in a daze, which made people a little confused.

Facing one of the concubines of the previous emperor, Gonggong Feng was not as cautious as he was with other concubines, he directly led Di Bu and Su Wuming to the pavilion, and then called Concubine Sun Xiang very casually.

Concubine Sun Xiang didn't seem to hear Gonggong Feng's words, just stared at the stone table, Su Wuming felt very strange, and inadvertently glanced at the stone table, only to find that there was a black spot on the stone table, and when he looked carefully, he realized that it was an ant.

A swarthy ant crawled back and forth on the stone table, and Concubine Sun Xiang, who was lonely, lowered her head and held her chin to look at the ant.

Su Wuming's heart sank slightly, how lonely should a person be, to be fascinated by an ant!

A gust of wind blew, blowing the ants on the stone table to the ground, Concubine Sun Xiang sighed, and she was going to lean over to find it, and at this time, the old palace maid behind her had already pulled her and said in an emotionless tone: "Concubine Xiang, the emperor has sent someone today." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Sun Xiang suddenly turned to look at Gonggong Feng and Di Bu and Su Wuming, she glanced at them, and then suddenly sat on the stone chair with a noble look, and asked in the tone that concubines often speak to their subordinates: "Who are you, what are you doing to Concubine Benxiang, is it that the emperor wanted to welcome me into the palace back then?" ”

Hearing Concubine Sun Xiang say this, Su Wuming definitely felt that she was not only lonely, but also fell into her own fantasies.

Gonggong Feng didn't seem to have the heart to talk more with such a down-and-out phoenix, so he said straight to the point: "Concubine Sun Xiang, now that there is a murder in the palace, the emperor specially ordered Lord Di and Master Su of Dali Temple to come to handle the case, they have something to ask you, you had better get acquainted with each other and answer honestly." ”

As soon as she heard about the murder case, Concubine Sun Xiang suddenly panicked, if it weren't for the old palace maid behind her to comfort her, she was afraid that she would scream.

Gonggong Feng gave Su Wuming a look and asked them to ask, Su Wuming nodded, and then came to Concubine Sun Xiang and asked, "The deceased is the maid Xiuxiu before Concubine Xiang, I don't know if Concubine Xiang has an impression?" ”

Concubine Xiang looked dazed, but she still nodded.

Su Wuming bowed his head, took out the hairpin, and asked, "This hairpin, but Concubine Xiang gave it to that Xiuxiu?" ”

Concubine Sun Xiang looked at the hairpin, and then only shook her head and said nothing.

Seeing Concubine Xiang shaking her head, Su Wuming asked again: "So this hairpin was not given to Xiuxiu by Concubine Xiang, so did Concubine Xiang wear it before?" ”
