Chapter 548: Naked Threat
readx;
Wu Hong is a person who thinks he is a delicate character, Liu Chengfeng has a hunch in his heart, there must be something hidden behind this person, but he can't find any clues, and if he asks again, since people don't admit it, it will be in vain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Chengfeng was silent for a moment, then glanced at Wu Hong, took a sip of tea for some reason, smacked his lips, and said slowly: "Since Gonggong Wu said that it has nothing to do with this arsenic case, then I will believe you for the time being." ”
He paused, and looked at Wu Hong with blazing eyes: "Then Wu Gonggong thinks that who will be the person who poisoned him?" ”
Wu Hong's face gradually softened, he chuckled, and said, "This miscellaneous family really doesn't know, the adults ask the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family asks who to go?" ”
When he spoke, his eyes were a little restless, and he swirled in a circle in his sockets.
Liu Chengfeng's face became a little cold: "Gonggong Wu, I invite you to speak here today, this is for the sake of Gonggong Wu's face, after all, everyone is also innocent and hateless, but if the time comes, the case has no eyebrows, Your Majesty's side will definitely be to blame, at that time, you can't help someone Liu, you actually know in your heart that it is not possible to make such a thing and want to be sloppy, if you can't help the official to catch the person who poisoned it, then I will have to ask my father-in-law to follow me to the edict to talk." The palace now means just to investigate, but after tonight, in order to ensure the safety of the palace, it is definitely better to kill the wrong thousand people than let go of a chaotic party. ”
Threats ...... naked threats...... However, this threat was very effective, and Wu Hong's face changed.
In fact, he is not a fool, if he really can't find out, all the suspects and others will suffer, and it is impossible for the palace to let it go, so let alone that he is a young eunuch, even if Gonggong Xiao personally stands up for him, he doesn't want to live.
Such a threat works, at least for a smart person like Wu Hong.
Liu Chengfeng's face became more and more calm, and he sneered and said, "What does Gonggong Wu think? ”
If it weren't for Liu Chengfeng's reminder, Wu Hong might not have realized the seriousness of the matter, what Liu Chengfeng said just now is really not wrong at all, Wu Hong didn't dare to show a little contempt at the moment, even the eight-sided delicate face became solemn, he was silent for a long time before he said: "My lord, the miscellaneous family remembered something." ”
Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and said lightly: "You go on." ”
"This matter was also heard casually by the miscellaneous family, saying that it was a chief of the Shang Diet Supervisor, saying that there were rats in the inner imperial dining room, and he asked someone to buy a lot of rat poison into the palace. My lord...... This thing may not be simple, could it be that the arsenic under it was brought in by that long time? ”
Liu Chengfeng was in good spirits, in fact, from the very beginning, he ignored a question, that is, where did these arsenic come from, it was not that Liu Chengfeng deliberately ignored it, he just felt that it was too difficult to track down this, there was no clue at all, it was better to start from these people who had come into contact with alcohol.
Now there is a clue suddenly, which makes Liu Chengfeng feel refreshed.
You must know that there are two imperial dining rooms under the Imperial Dining Supervisor, one is the outer imperial dining room and the other is the inner imperial dining room, and the outer imperial dining room not only makes banquets for the ministers, but also sometimes prepares meals for the ministers on duty. As for this inner imperial dining room, it is only for the emperor to eat, so the chief of the inner imperial dining room is not considered to be of humble status, and he is also a figure in the Shangshan prison.
When Liu Chengfeng heard this, he couldn't help frowning: "Over there in the imperial dining room, there are really rats?" ”
Wu Hong smiled coldly and said: "Who knows this, anyway, it's not a matter of one or two days that there are rats in the imperial dining room, and I don't see anyone saying that they want to bring rat poison into the palace, and besides, if you talk about rat poison, there may not be no arsenic, and this has to be checked by adults, and it is not easy for miscellaneous families to interject." ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded, released this Wu Hong, and asked two people in a row, it seemed that he had eyebrows, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not the case, obviously he seemed to grasp something, but in the end he was empty-handed.
Liu Chengfeng was not in a hurry to check the imperial dining room, but called several other eunuchs in to ask, and the other eunuchs really did not have anything suspicious, and they answered honestly one by one.
In the end, the eunuch was also a person in the Shangshan Prison, and he was working in the inner imperial dining room, and he also went to the wine cellar at that time, but instead of going to the Kunning Palace to bring some wine, he carried some wine to the inner imperial dining room, saying that he also needed some wine as condiments when cooking in the imperial dining room, so he always had to go there every once in a while.
Liu Chengfeng listened attentively, and asked him, "Who is the head of the inner imperial dining room?" ”
This eunuch was taken by Liu Chengfeng's authority, so he naturally didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "The chief is called Zhao Kun." ”
"How is this person?" Liu Chengfeng pretended to ask casually.
"Zhao Yu has always been a good person, and his surname is good, usually in the imperial dining room, everyone likes to joke with him. Yes, he is a native of Yangzhou, it is said that he has learned cooking from a famous teacher since he was a child, but for some reason, he entered the palace cleanly. ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded: "What does he like?" ”
"Preferences? Yes, when he is usually free, he likes to gamble with his father-in-law in Shangyi, but winning or losing is not too big, and besides, he has more money per month than others, so it is not a bad thing. ”
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes: "In addition to gambling money?" ”
"There is nothing else, Zhao Yuchang has always been an honest person."
Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "He is an honest person, and he has a good craft in his hands, but he just entered the palace to be a eunuch, don't you doubt it at all." ”
This eunuch must have also been asked by Liu Chengfeng's words.
It stands to reason that there are only two kinds of people who enter the palace to be eunuchs, one is without any skills, and the other is poor. The other is that he was punished by the criminal law, and he was punished by the palace as a last resort. This Zhao Kun is not the latter, but it is not the former, in this Ming Dynasty, people with good skills are not a problem to eat and dress warmly no matter what. But this person actually cleaned up and ran into the palace, but he really couldn't tell what this person was thinking.
But usually everyone does not delve into it, in fact, there is an unwritten rule in the palace, the average eunuch, is rarely mentioned outside the palace, after all, when you enter the palace, who has not suffered a lot before purifying, if you don't really have no way to live, who will walk on this road of cutting off children and grandchildren. So everyone kept silent about their past life experience, and only looked at the present.
But now that I think about it, even the eunuch who was asked couldn't help but feel a little wrong.
How can such a person enter the palace with a clean body?
Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "Come, you don't have to be afraid, you can talk about it yourself, if you are the chief of Zhao Xu, will you be willing to enter the palace?" ”
The eunuch shook his head like a rattle, and said seriously: "The slave has this skill, how can there be four or five taels of silver outside a month, and slowly save up, and it is not difficult to return to the hometown after ten or twenty years to buy more than ten acres of land, if it is not a last resort, who wants to enter the palace to be a slave?" ”
