Gu Da used that cold sweat to flow. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFive days to find the killer is never easy. But the Son of Heaven was angry at the moment, and it was impossible for him to disobey, so he had to kowtow and say, "Slaves obey orders." ”

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly in anger: "Stand down." ”

Gu Da got up tremblingly and left the leopard room.

He did not return to the West Factory directly, but went to Xie Shen's mansion.

At this moment, Xie Shen was teaching his son Xie Xu to read, and he was a little surprised to hear that Gu Da was using it. Because of their status, they mostly met in secluded places. In this way, you can avoid being chewed by the imperial history, and it is the most insurance.

Gu Dayong has been doing well before, why is it abnormal today? Could something big happen?

Xie Shen hurriedly invited Gu Dayong to the side hall to speak.

As soon as he saw Xie Shen, Gu Dayong cried and said with a sad face: "Little Pavilion Elder, please save our family." ”

After speaking, he made a long gesture at Xie Shen.

Xie Shen said with a solemn face: "Father-in-law Gu quickly tell me what happened." ”

Gu Dayong shook his head again and again, sighing and sighing, so he was not depressed.

"That Miao Li was poisoned to death in the West Factory prison."

"Ahh At this time, even Xie Shen was shocked.

Miao Li is the key figure in this case, and whether he can find out who is behind the scenes depends on whether Miao Li can speak.

Now that Miao Li is dead, it will be very difficult to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

This person is really ruthless, and when it comes to his own safety, he does not hesitate to kill people.

"Has this matter been reported to Your Majesty?"

Xie Shen gradually calmed down from his shock and asked in a harmonious voice.

"Our family has just come from Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has set a five-day limit for our family, and the murderer must be found within five days."

Five days, tsk, how easy it is to find the murderer within five days, Zhu Houzhao is completely unreasonable to come together.

But the Son of Heaven has already spoken, so it is impossible to take it back, otherwise where is the power of heaven?

Now the only thing Gu Dayong can do is to mobilize all the people in Xichang to track down the murderer, even if the murderer is a corpse at the moment, he has to be pulled out.

"It is reasonable for Your Majesty to say this, does Grandpa Gu have a plan?"

Gu Da said with a bitter face: "What plan can our family have, it's a big deal that our family won't be the commander of this West Factory when the time comes, and go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum." ”

"What kind of angry words does Father-in-law Gu say, it's not that things can't turn around."

Gu Dayong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Xiaoge has a way?" ”

"In fact, Father-in-law Gu doesn't need to search the whole city at all, since Miao Li was poisoned in the West Factory, then the murderer must be an internal ghost. Father-in-law Gu only needs to conduct a search in the West Factory. ”

From the entire Jingshi to the West Factory, the scope has narrowed a lot, and if the murderer can't be found, Gu Da will be too useless to use this factory.

"We don't know this. But if this inner ghost dares to start, he must have a back hand, and now I'm afraid he has fled, right? ”

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "No, no." The most dangerous place is the safest place. Grandpa Gu has heard of the darkness under the light, right? If this guy escaped from the West Factory immediately after killing Eunuch Miao, it would be tantamount to exposing his identity, and at that time, Gu Gonggong ordered someone to draw a portrait and hang it in the city to arrest him, and he would be unable to fly with his wings. ”

Gu Dayong felt that it made a lot of sense, and nodded frequently.

"And if he has been hiding in the West Factory, then his identity will not be recognized, but relatively safer."

Gu Dayong took a deep breath and said, "Then according to the meaning of Xiao Ge Lao, how should our family act now?" ”

"It's simple, do it."

Xie Shen walked up to Gu Dayong and whispered a few words in his ear, and Gu Dayong immediately showed joy.

"This plan is very good, so I am not afraid that this person will not be fooled."

"This inner ghost must be caught alive."

Gu Dayong understood what Xie Shen meant. This inner ghost is now the only clue that can lead to the mastermind behind the scenes. If this inner ghost dies too, it will be hopeless.

This ghost was able to poison and kill the Miao eunuch in the West Factory, proving that there must be poison hidden in his body.

If he committed suicide by poisoning, no matter how much he had, he would have nowhere to use it.

"We know. Thank you Xiaoge for getting old. ”

"What do you thank Gonggong Gu, you and I should be in the same boat."

Hearing this, Gu Da burst into tears with emotion.

Other civil officials treated him as a eunuch like a plague god, but Xie Shen really regarded him as a friend.

Such a friend is worth making a deep friendship!

"Without further ado, our family will return to the West Factory."

Xie Shen nodded and sent Gu Dayong out of the house.

......

......

After Gu Dayong returned to the West Factory, he immediately summoned the head of the West Factory, the foreman, and the secretary.

Nearly 100 people gathered outside the Xichang prison to bear the thunderous wrath of Gu Dayong.

This is understandable, a big living person was poisoned to death in the prison of the West Factory, where is the face of the factory father? The most important thing is that the factory can't explain to His Majesty. It seems that this time the factory is going to make up his mind to find out the inner ghost.

The leaders of these West Factories glanced at their colleagues with their spare eyes, and the inner ghosts were probably among these colleagues.

After Gu Dayong vented, he began to order the punishment of thousands of households to interrogate the foreman, foreman, secretary and others one by one. Looking at this posture, it is definitely better to kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.

Gu Dayong returned to the official office where he worked, and the whole person slumped in the chair.

This trick is considered to be a thorough touch, and he doesn't expect the ghost inside to easily reveal his flaws.

After all, it has been lurking in the West Factory for many years, and its psychological quality must be very strong, and it must be cautious in its actions.

The most important thing is the second step that Xie Shen explained to him. If this step is accomplished, the inner ghost will manifest itself.

"Factory officer, everyone has been arraigned, this is the interrogation."

Pei Shu, who was in charge of the punishment of a thousand households, handed over a thick stack of interrogations to Gu Da and said respectfully.

"Hmm."

Gu Dayong took the interrogation, waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

"Yes!"

After the thousand households retreated, Gu Da turned the pages of the interrogation.

The interrogation is written in great detail, and everyone's actions in the last three days have been written. Even things like going to the toilet and having sex are no exception.

Gu Dayong's face turned red when he saw it, and he secretly scolded whether this slap of a thousand households was an idiot.

Such a seemingly comprehensive transcript is of no use.

Who would poison someone during sex or going to the toilet?

Wait a minute......

"Why didn't we think of it!"

Gu Da shouted excitedly.

The Xichang prison is heavily guarded by countless jailers, so it is unlikely that even if there are ghosts, it is impossible to avoid everyone's eyes and ears.

Unless he finds an opportunity to break up all of them.

If he had put a laxative in the food and drink, and all the jailers would have diarrhea after eating the food, wouldn't he have enough time to poison the food?

......

......

I have to say that this inner ghost is extremely good at improvising. Since he couldn't directly drug Eunuch Miao, he retreated to pour the jailer's medicine first, so that no one could stop him from poisoning Eunuch Miao.

If it is an outsider, it is naturally difficult to put laxatives into the wine and food of the prison guards of the West Factory, but this ghost is a person from the West Factory, and it is natural that he does not know the ghost.

Although the identity of this person is not yet certain, one thing is certain: this person must not be a jailer.

Because all the jailers ate the wine and food with laxatives, all vomited and leaked, and if anyone was safe and sound, it must be an internal ghost.

This person would not be so stupid, so the identity of this ghost could never be a jailer.

Who could that be?

Gu Dayong's face couldn't help but become solemn, and after a long time, he let out a long breath and ticked more than a dozen names.

These people are the most likely to poison Miao Li, not only do they have time to do it, but they can also go in and out of the prison at will without suspicion.

"Someone's coming."

"The subordinates are here, what do the factory officials order?"

"Prepare a sedan chair and go to Xiao Xie Ge's old mansion!"

......

......

Gu Da used frequent contacts to Xie Shen's mansion to prove that he was really afraid.

It is no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor issued a strict order, ordering him to catch the murderer who poisoned Miao Li within five days. If he can't solve the case as scheduled, then it is really possible for him to roll to Fengyang to guard the tomb under the anger of the Son of Heaven.

Who doesn't want to have power in their hands?

Tasting the taste of power, Gu Dayong was no longer willing to take the initiative to give up the position of the commander of the West Factory.

At the moment, he can only hug Xie Shen's thick legs tightly to solve the case. In his opinion, Xiao Ge Lao is a Wenqu star, and his wisdom is unparalleled. Cracking such a case is easy for Xiao Ge Lao.

When he arrived at Xie Mansion, Gu Dayong was directly invited to the side hall by the door official.

"Father-in-law Gu, my lord has not returned to the house at the moment, please wait."

"Hmm."

Gu Dayong replied lightly, and absentmindedly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

After about touching a stick of incense, Xie Shen took a sedan chair back to the house and went straight to the side hall.

"Father-in-law Gu has been waiting for a long time."

Xie Shen arched his hand slightly apologetically, which was regarded as an apology.

Gu Dayong dared to accept it, and hurriedly got up and came over: "Look at what you said, our family is counting on Xiao Ge Lao to save his life now." ”

Xie Shen smiled bitterly: "The only one who can save Grandpa Gu is Grandpa Gu himself, how can Xie do this without supernatural powers?" By the way, can Father-in-law Gu do what Xie said? ”

The two sat down separately, and Xie Shen took the lead in asking.

According to his plan, Gu Dayong should be making a noise in the West Factory at this moment, how could he have time to come to his home.

"Xiao Ge doesn't know anything, our family has made a major discovery."

"Oh?" Xie Shen asked with interest, "What is it?" ”

"This inner ghost is probably among these people. Only they have the time and ability to enter the prison without suspicion. The inner ghost medicine poured out the jailer, and then put the poison into Miao Li's meal and then calmly withdrew, which would take at least half an hour. There are only a handful of people who have the time to commit crimes. ”

Gu Dayong handed over a roster to Xie Shen, with a happy look on his face.

He had already sketched out the names of the suspicious people, Xie Shen looked at it and found that it was either the foreman or the foreman, all of whom belonged to the senior management of the West Factory.

He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it may not be." ”

Gu Dayong was on the rise, but Xie Shen's words poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Why?"

"Does Grandpa Gu think that only the senior management of the West Factory can enter the prison at will?"

"Isn't it?"

Gu Dayong became more and more confused. If any cat or dog can enter the Xichang prison, then it will be worth it.

There are no rules. Xichang has a very strict hierarchical system, from the punishment of thousands of households, hundreds of households, supervisors, foremen, down to miscellaneous servants, scribes, and jailers, there are strict entry and exit restrictions. It is impossible for a person of insufficient rank to enter and leave the forbidden land.

"Of course not. For example, the miscellaneous servants of the West Factory, can't they go in and out of the prison? ”

Hiss! Gu Dayong gasped, and he was shocked.

"Little Pavilion Elder Gaojian. Our family has forgotten about these cheap servants, they can indeed go in and out of prison. And it was usually they who brought food and drinks to the jailers. ”

The corners of Xie Shen's mouth hooked up and said with a light smile: "This is just a possibility, not necessarily a miscellaneous servant." ”

"It has to be them! They use their humble identities as a cover, so that no one will suspect them. ”

Xie Shen actually agreed with Gu Dayong's analysis. This is actually taking advantage of people's mindset, after all, normal people will think that the high-level has power in their hands and has enough strength to commit crimes, how can a lowly person like a handyman succeed.

But they ignore that the handymen are the easiest people to deal with the jailers.

Of course, it is not safe to determine that the poisoning of Miao Li was the work of miscellaneous servants, and sufficient evidence is needed to draw a conclusion.

"And Grandpa Gu and Xie seem to have ignored a little."

Xie Shen paused and continued: "From the beginning, we thought that this inner ghost was one person, but what if it was two, or three? ”

At this time, Gu Dayong's eyes were directly rounded, and after thinking about it, he found that what Xie Shen said was very likely.

If it's just one person, it's certainly possible to do this in half an hour, but it's extremely difficult.

Because if the foreman and foreman of other West Factory came to the prison to interrogate the prisoner, he would not know in advance at all, and he would be arrested.

In this case, it is especially important to have one or two companions to keep sentry.

If something happens, they can promptly notify their fellow poisoners in the prison and give him enough time to get out.

Although Xie Shen's analysis was very reasonable, Gu Dayong was reluctant to believe it.

If he mixes in two, or even three, then what will he become in the West Factory, is it a vegetable market and a mule and horse market?

"If that's the case, it's a bit more complicated."

Gu Dayong groaned: "I'm afraid I can't act according to the previous plan anymore." ”

"Hmm. Father-in-law Gu might as well do this, first arrest all the miscellaneous servants who are often active near the prison in the West Factory, and let out some rumors, saying that the murderer has been caught. ”

"Isn't this a scareless?"

"No, it's luring the snake out of the hole!"

Xie Shen said with a smile: "If Xie Mou's analysis is correct, then there should be an inner ghost among these miscellaneous servants." As for the others, we don't know yet. These people are extremely cautious and do not easily show their flaws. If you want them to take the initiative to show their feet, you have to make them panic. Now that we have concluded that there are ghosts among the miscellaneous servants, then if all the miscellaneous servants are arrested, his accomplices will be alarmed, thinking that the matter has been revealed, and it is unknown if they have committed a stupid trick! ”
