A group of people came to the courtyard of the Huanyi Bureau, only to see that the yard was densely covered with quilts. When the eunuch in charge saw this, he came forward and was about to ask what was the matter.

But seeing that Zhao Yuankan, the king of Han, was here, he hurriedly bowed and greeted, but Zhao Yuankan just signaled not to disturb. The eunuch in charge quietly asked Guo Andao, "Father-in-law Guo, what is going on?" Just now, your nephew came to call these palace maids who were doing miscellaneous work in the Huanyi Bureau, and he hasn't come back yet! ”

Guo An said: "Don't talk nonsense, this is King Han who came to investigate the case by holy order." ”

The eunuch in charge said that he came to investigate the case, but he didn't know what to investigate, so he had to watch from the side.

Feng Manlou said to Dong Chao: "Check the quilts in the back five rows, whether there are any traces of this rope being untied." ”

It had just snowed heavily the other day, and the rope was tied to the stakes on both sides. Although some people cleaned it, there was still ice on the stakes. Therefore, if the rope is untied, there must be traces.

Sure enough, after a while, a guard reported that the penultimate rope had traces of unties. In a quarter of an hour, the rope was tied up again, and then the quilt was dried, and the time was in time.

Feng Manlou said: "There are traces of this rope being untied, which means that someone has moved." Now we can talk about the rope and compare it with the strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased! If the official expected it is not bad, it should be just the same! ”

Sure enough, after the rope was untied, it was compared with the strangulation marks on the deceased's body, and the wound was completely consistent. From the occurrence of this case to the solving of the case, it only took less than half a moment.

Zhao Yuankan hurriedly asked the guards to escort Hu Qiao'er away. At this time, Guo An came out to stop him: "My lord, there are regulations in this palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs have violated the law, and they should be handed over to the palace criminal department to deal with." It seems unreasonable for adults to take people away! ”

Feng Manlou was carrying the emperor's gold medal, how could he be bluffed by him, and asked with a smile: "Then Gonggong Guo thinks that this official should deal with it?" ”

Guo An saw that Feng Manlou's tone didn't seem to be very good, and hurriedly reminded: "Don't misunderstand Lord Feng, this, the small one is just a casual reminder!" ”

Feng Manlou immediately understood, thinking that this Zhao Yuankan is really confused, how can people run with you for half a day, how can there be no tea money.

And what makes Feng Manlou even more important is Guo An's relationship with **, and it is better than anything else to have a good relationship with this character. So, as soon as he reached out and touched it in his pocket, it was a hundred silver tickets, and he handed it to Guo An, and said, "Thank you Gonggong Guo for reminding me, it was the official who misunderstood just now!" ”

Guo An was naturally happy when he got the money, so he whispered: "My lord, this is really the rule of the palace. We also know that this is an errand for the emperor, and we will go to the Criminal Division to inform us later. Since the human and material evidence is complete, let the prince take him to the interrogation, but we must not give up our lives, otherwise we will not be able to explain! ”

Zhao Yuankan saw Feng Manlou and Guo An muttering from a distance, and he was also very curious, not knowing what the two of them said in private.

When he went back, Zhao Yuankan asked, "Teacher, what secrets did Guo An tell you just now?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Since it's a secret, do you still need to ask?" If you want to gain the support of the queen, this Guo Gonggong is the key in the future, and you can't slack off! ”

Zhao Yuankan was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was for his own good, and he also asked himself to go back and tell his eldest brother. So he nodded again and again.

At this moment, Guo An and Guo Huai spoke, and Guo Huai was also an extremely shrewd character, so he saw that he was young and his brain was very flexible, and said to Guo An: "What Uncle said to Lord Nafeng just now, but deliberately make things difficult for Lord Nafeng?" ”

Guo An was not in a hurry, just tilted his head, looked at Guo Huai, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Guo Huai said: "My nephew thinks that Uncle is an excuse for Lord Feng to send you, so as to imply Lord Feng that Uncle can fight for it!" ”

Guo An smiled: "The kid is right! It seems that there is progress, remember, the avatar in this palace is going to mix up a career, and this brain has to be flexible! ”

Guo Huai nodded, but he felt very kind to the prince, and he didn't know why.

In fact, this Guo Huai was later very famous, and he was the participant in the famous case of the tanuki replacing the prince, and he was also the person in charge of the action.

Guo Huai can also see that although this prince is the envoy of the Qincha, it is the deputy envoy who really plays a role. Moreover, the relationship between these two people is very unusual. And the relationship between Zhao Yuankan and Zhao Yuanzuo is very good, and Zhao Yuanzuo has always won the emperor's ** love, even if he is a prince at that time, he will have the greatest hope.

Therefore, Guo Huai can guess what the uncle means, this is an early investment. Guo An is also a smart person, you can't run over for no reason and say to people, I want to help you, you have to pay attention to the way.

But now Zhao Yuankan's heart is full of question marks, and he keeps asking questions along the way.

"Teacher, you have observed too carefully, and only now do students suspect that it must be the palace maid who killed people. However, why does a palace maid kill people and kill her mouth, could it be that the palace maid also knows some secrets? Zhao Yuankan asked.

Feng Manlou said: "It's hard to say. But there is one thing, you are right, the palace maid is obviously extinguished, this is undoubted. ”

Zhao Yuankan was stunned and said, "Teacher, is it really what the students guessed?" Students are just guessing. The teacher must have found some clues, so he came to find this Gu father-in-law. It's just that how did you find this clue, is it from the coal? ”

Feng Manlou said: "Exactly! You don't know, inside this coal, there is a kind of stone called coal. The outside of coal is somewhat different from charcoal, although it is black, but it glows, and it is much harder than charcoal, and it does not burn yet. It is conceivable that so much coal and stone are added to the carbon, and it will definitely not burn, so it is easy to have a lot of smoke, which is exactly what the murderer wants to do to kill the official! ”

Zhao Yuankan sighed and said, "I see! I thought it was the eunuchs who closed the doors and windows that were the most suspicious. After all, listening to the teacher, what kind of carbon monoxide poisoning must be insufficient oxygen, and only the doors and windows are closed, and the oxygen is insufficient! ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "It's not that there is not enough oxygen, but that it is not completely burned." At first, I wondered if it was the eunuchs who closed the doors and windows that closed the doors and windows too tightly and then did something on them. However, I was out there at the time and didn't find any clues at all. ”

"It is very difficult to instruct the eunuchs who close the doors and windows. Because the murderer is not sure, when the official family will let people close the doors and windows, they can only know that the official family's body must be closed now. These doors and windows are really uncontrollable. Besides, such a large palace is impossible to completely seal! ”

Zhao Yuankan thought about it, and this is really the truth. Since this Gu father-in-law is very suspicious, then he is the murderer, but this murderer has now been killed. Fortunately, Feng Manlou found the murderer of Gu's father-in-law in time, otherwise, if it was half a day late, the palace maid would have changed her clothes, and she would never have been able to find out who the murderer was.

Moreover, half a day late, the ice of the rope melted somewhat, and it was easy to wipe out the traces of untying the rope. Therefore, it is very difficult to find clues again. It seems that it is still very timely.

Zhao Yuankan was very convinced to see Feng Manlou and found clues on the spot, and said: "The teacher is really amazing, and the students sigh to themselves!" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Without him, just pay attention to observe!" ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "No, even if it is a student, pay attention to it. I can't tell the difference between coal and carbon, and I don't know if green and red are mixed together and turn black! ”

Feng Manlou thought to himself, when he was a child, the coal mine near his hometown dug up piles of coal and stone, which is not unusual, who called himself from the rural mountains. As for this color, in middle school art class, when the teacher taught painting, he taught color mixing.

If you just want to find the murderer who directly poisoned the official's family, then you can make a mistake. However, Feng Manlou knew that the case was not completed satisfactorily now, and the key was still in the mouth of the palace maid.

Moreover, for the sake of safety, Feng Manlou did not let Zhao Yuankan take Hu Qiao'er to the Imperial City Division for detention, but brought him back to his palace.

As for the interrogation, Feng Manlou is not responsible at all, he just needs to get a confession, and these let Zhao Yuankan think of a way, but fortunately, there are still many guards in Zhao Yuankan's mansion, and there are many methods of interrogation.

Out of the palace, it was already late, and everyone had not yet eaten lunch, so Feng Manlou took a few people home, waiting for the results of Zhao Yuankan's interrogation.

In the palace at this moment, Zhao Guangyi made such a fuss, cultivated for a day, and his condition actually improved. It wasn't a serious illness, but it was just a common cold.

"How's the case they're investigating today?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

The person who answered him was prostrate on the ground, and replied: "Your Majesty, you found a palace maid!" Listening to the voice, it was Wang Jien.

Zhao Guangyi said earnestly: "I hope it is not the result of my speculation. Get up, since I have said, I will not blame you if I don't blame you. You are a person who has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty. However, remember, don't do it again! ”

Wang Jien was very annoyed by helping Zhao Tingmei, the king of Wei, find the content of the Jinkui Covenant. Although Zhao Yuanzuo reported that Wang Jien and King Wei were constantly involved, Zhao Guangyi did not believe it.

However, among those guards, there were also secret agents sent by Zhao Guangyi, and the results of the report were exactly the same as what Zhao Yuanzuo said. Wang Jien saw that he couldn't keep it a secret, so he took the initiative to intercede with the official.

Wang Jien has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, but when the Great Song Dynasty was founded, he made military achievements. Moreover, when Emperor Taizu conquered the secession regimes in various places, Wang Jien followed the army and made many contributions.

However, these credits, in the hands of Zhao Guangyi, cannot resist his capital crimes. And his greatest contribution to Zhao Guangyi is that when Taizu died, he went directly to the Jin Palace, and brought Zhao Guangyi into the palace. As a result, Zhao Guangyi sat on the throne smoothly.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi still forgave him, and after so many years, the person he trusted the most was only him.

After listening to Wang Jien explain in detail what they encountered in Fengmanlou, Zhao Guangyi said to himself: "It seems that I chose the right person this time. In that case, then I want to see what else you can do! ”
