Hu Erchang has long been now, and the figures of those two sisters have long been forgotten, and today someone suddenly said to himself, you have a sister, of course I am very excited. However, when he suddenly saw the corpse, his mood fell from the top to the bottom. What followed was a deep resentment. Yes, it is resentment, Hu Er's family environment, that determines this resentment, which is incomparably powerful.

"My lord, you tell the little one, who is the murderer who persecuted my sister? How can you take revenge, even if you are broken and your liver and brains are smeared, the small ones have no regrets! Hu Er said categorically.

Feng Manlou didn't expect the effect to be so good, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and said, "It's good, this official really didn't see the wrong person!" So, from the time Gu Gonggong was killed to Hu Qiao'er being brought into the palace for interrogation and confession, he said something about it.

Feng Manlou looked at Hu Er and said, "Hu Qiao'er killed the palace eunuch and committed suicide after being arrested." The official thought that someone must be indulging him behind his back, and there must be something threatening him. But the official thought about it, except for his family, nothing could threaten him. ”

Speaking of this, Hu Er nodded abruptly and said, "Adult, the little one understands." Those villains should have threatened the villain's sister with the villain's surname. ”

Feng Manlou didn't expect that this kid was really sensible, and asked, "Have you ever remembered who it is?" ”

Hu Er said: "Yes, I think about it, it's the ninth master!" About three or four days ago, the ninth master brought the villain in, and then entertained him with delicious food and drink, just not to let the little one escape. Now that I think about it, there is only this ninth master. And he usually always deals with the ninth master for the longest time. ”

Feng Manlou interrogated him carefully, and the result was the same, and he didn't find anything abnormal in the past few days. Suddenly, Feng Manlou asked, "What do you know about the charcoal in this capital?" ”

Hu Er didn't think about it, and said, "Carbon? This little one really doesn't know. In the entire Changxingfang, only people like Jiu Ye can afford to buy stone charcoal! Also, the Ninth Master and the Huang Dutou of Kaifeng Mansion, as well as several priests, often have contacts! ”

Feng Manlou nodded, and when he saw that he couldn't ask anything, he said, "You rest here first, and someone will deliver meals regularly." Now someone may be asking you for trouble, so it's better not to go out yet! If you think of something to say, tell the guard at the door! ”

Na Hu Er nodded. Feng Manlou had just gone out, but he saw the two brothers of the Zhao family gathered outside, and hurriedly surrounded him, saying, "Teacher, that Wang Jiu was beaten, but he didn't move." Now that the guards are interrogating, can there be a breakthrough? ”

Feng Manlou said: "Let's take a step to speak!" ”

When the three of them arrived in the hall, they heard Feng Manlou say, "King Han, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Yuankan thought for a while and said: "The student thinks that the key to this case is to find the source of the carbon, and to find the source of the carbon, only Father-in-law Gu knows." But Father-in-law Gu was killed by Hu Qiao'er, and our direction was still right, but when we got here, we couldn't find any clues! ”

Feng Manlou said: "Not bad! Therefore, what we are looking for is the person who instructed Hu Qiaoer to kill Gu's father-in-law. And this person must be related to Wang Jiu. As Hu Er said just now, he has always dealt with Wang Jiu for the longest time, and Wang Jiu is very familiar with the officials of Kaifeng Mansion. Therefore, I suspect that this matter has something to do with the officials of Kaifeng Mansion! ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "Just now in Changxingfang, that little official was very affectionate with Wang Jiu, and that Zhao Huailu was a subordinate official of the third uncle's mansion, plus the official of the Kaifeng Mansion, so the student has reason to suspect that this case is related to the third uncle!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Impossible, no matter how much the third uncle wants to seize the position of the prince, he will definitely not be like harming his father!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "You see, not only does King Wei not believe it, but even the emperor probably doesn't believe it, so we need to find evidence." In this case, I'm thinking, there is actually another way, which is to start from the source! ”

"Start at the source?" Zhao Yuankan was a little unconscious, and said: "This source is Shi Carbon, but where is Shi Carbon, once the clue of Gu Gonggong is broken, how can he find out?" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "No, the source should be in the mine." I wonder if I should go to the mine and start with it! ”

Zhao Yuankan thought for a while and said: "Since the coal and stone are mixed into the coal, the coal and stone must be only in the mine, this idea is really good." It's just that we don't know where this charcoal comes from! Oh, by the way, just go into the palace and ask! ”

saw Feng Manlou and Zhao Yuanzuo still waiting there. "How's it going, did you ask?" Zhao Yuanzuo looked very anxious. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Yuanzuo still hopes that this matter has nothing to do with his third uncle, so he is more anxious than anyone else at the moment.

Zhao Yuankan took a sip of tea before saying, "Of course I asked." The charcoal kiln that specializes in paying tribute to charcoal is only in the mountainous area of Dengfeng, more than 200 miles away from here! ”

Feng Manlou asked: "Then have you ever asked clearly, how did the stone coal in the Dengfeng Mountain enter the palace?" ”

Zhao Yuankan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have a little more heart, otherwise the teacher will scold me again." I have already asked, the charcoal that entered the palace was not only transported to the palace, but also the prime ministers of the government hall and the privy council, as well as the charcoal of the prince's mansion, all came from there! ”

Feng Manlou asked, "Then someone is in charge of this?" ”

Zhao Yuankan said: "Yes, the student has asked Li Zhong to check, but it is estimated that there will be no results for a while and a half!" ”

Just as the two were discussing, there was a small guard outside the door who came to report, saying that Rujing made Chai Yuxi to visit!

Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Yuankan hurriedly said, "Please!" ”

Chai Yuxi was a subordinate official of the mansion when the official family was the king of Jin. After the official family succeeded to the throne, he made Chai Yuxi an envoy to Beijing, and later because he often summoned him to inquire about external affairs, he was promoted to the envoy of the Xuanhui North Court. In order to enter and exit the palace gate.

Xuanhui Yuan is divided into two courtyards in the north and south, and is in charge of the general division and the three classes of internal servants, suburbs, court meetings, banquets and ceremonies, all internal and external offerings, and all its famous things. Among them, the prestige of the South Court is better than that of the North Court, but everything is in charge, only the seal of the South Court is used, and the two envoys are divided into general offices.

This Chai Yuxi became the envoy of the North Courtyard, just for the convenience of entering and exiting the palace gate. But it's not exactly a showcase. Feng Manlou faintly felt that this Chai Yuxi seemed to know something.

After Chai Yuxi came in, after saluting the two princes, Feng Manlou hurriedly saluted according to the etiquette of meeting Shangguan, and Chai Yuxi hurriedly said: "My lord is the wind Lord that the emperor said, and the official is disrespectful, disrespectful!" ”

The words were quite polite, Feng Manlou felt very surprised, but he heard Chai Yuxi say: "Two princes, Lord Feng, don't be surprised, this official is also at the behest of the official's family, and he has come to inform everyone about something!" ”

Feng Manlou asked, "I don't know Lord Chai, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chai Yuxi didn't sell Guanzi, but said: "Just a few days ago, when the official family was seriously ill, he once summoned the official once, but that night, the official inadvertently found in the Xuanhui Courtyard that there was a ** eunuch talking to a person. ”

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that it was a confidential matter, and since the official family asked him to come, it must be related to Shi Coal. Sure enough, I heard Chai Yuxi say: "The eunuch and the man discussed it, but it was said that the man sent some stone charcoal into the palace, and then I saw that the man gave the eunuch some money and so on, but because it was far away, I didn't pay attention to it." ”

Who is so bold, and sneaky, how can the palace be so easy to fool? Feng Manlou asked, "Lord Chai, since it was far away at that time, how did you know that it was charcoal?" ”

Chai Yuxi hurriedly said: "Lord Feng, I really don't know, but when the official passed by again, he saw the toner on the ground, although it was not much, but he could still guess that it was stone charcoal!" And there's a car for you! ”

However, this car, but a rickshaw, in the palace, there are no animal-powered carts allowed to enter and exit, even if they enter, at most they will only go to the palace gate, otherwise those cattle and horses and the like in the palace, if they accidentally pull some stool, the relevant people will inevitably be punished.

Since it is a rickshaw, at least it means that it is more than 100 catties. Feng Manlou thought about it, and at that time in the charcoal room, he really didn't find so much coal and stone, mixed with those coals.

Chai Yuxi said: "At that time, the official didn't think about it so much. Later, when I heard that the official family was poisoned by charcoal, I remembered it, so I went into the palace and told the housekeeper about it, but I didn't expect that the official family had arranged for the prince and Lord Feng to investigate the matter. But the official realized it later! ”

Feng Manlou hurriedly humbled up, said fortunately, praised Chai Yuxi for a while, and said: "Lord Chai, this information is simply too important to the lower officials, and the lower officials are worried." It's just that your lordship has seen the eunuch and the man's situation clearly? ”

Chai Yuxi said: "That eunuch is the father-in-law Gu of the palace charcoal room, otherwise ordinary people can't go in and out casually!" As for the other person, the official didn't know, but vaguely heard the man calling the eunuch the eldest brother! And the eunuch called that man Mr. Yan! ”

Feng Manlou asked some more about the person's characteristics, but he knew a rough idea. This is really another village, but I didn't expect that the clue of this coal stone has just been broken, and another Chai Yuxi came, and the clue of this coal and stone came back.

After Chai Yuxi left, Zhao Yuankan said: "Teacher, the student concluded that the coal that the person sent in must be those coal stones!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo said with a smile: "Of course, the charcoal in the palace, when buying, it is quite cautious, and this coal stone will not appear in it, otherwise, it will be a matter of losing your head!" ”

Feng Manlou paused and said, "What needs to be found out urgently now is who is the person who sent the coal stone?" ”
