Leng Yi took the palace maid and eunuch in, and Da Ji Niangniang sat behind a curtain cage, and said coldly: "Ask if you have anything to say!" Hongu is very busy, so I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. ”

Leng Yi suppressed his anger and said, "Weichen has already found out that the thirteen women who were killed in Hushan were the palace maids of Niangniang's palace. Among them, the last one to be killed, named Cuiyan, is also the palace maid of your palace. Including Cuiyan, when all the palace maids disappeared in Hushan in the end, it was in Hushan, and after Niangniang asked your maid Xue E to call them, there was no news. However, now we have found their bones in Tiger Mountain, which proves that they were eaten by tigers. Mother, can you please explain, what happened to them? ”

Da Ji said lightly: "Don't you want to say that I threw them into Tiger Mountain to feed the tigers?" Now that you have achieved your goal, why don't you go back to the official family to ask for credit? ”

"This key plot has not been clarified, so I must ask the mother."

"You've already asked."

"Please answer the mother."

"It's your business to ask or not, it's the palace's business to answer or not, you've done what you're supposed to do, and you can go back to the business. This palace is unwilling to answer, and it will not affect your handover. Satisfactory for this answer, right? ”

"Before coming, the official family had already issued an order to let everyone in the harem cooperate with Weichen to investigate the case, otherwise it will be judged according to the decree! What does Niangniang mean is to resist and disobey? ”

"Even if this palace resists the decree. You just go back and tell the official family like this. If the official family wants to deal with the main palace, come on. Anyway, after the death of the first emperor, the palace didn't want to live anymore, so he followed the first emperor. Woo woo woo woo "

Speaking of the back, Daji sobbed and cried.

Leng Yi said: "Niangniang, Weichen is only ordered to investigate the case, in order to find out the facts of the case, I can only take the liberty to ask, and ask Niangniang to forgive me." ”

"Get out! This palace doesn't want to hear what you say anymore, you all go out! - Drop-off! ”

As she spoke, she stood up and hurriedly turned into the back hall.

Xue'e and a few other palace maids came up, and raised their eyebrows at Leng Yi and them. The blood was still making a loud noise for Leng Yi to roll immediately.

Leng Yi sneered, and turned around with his entourage and walked out of Daji's dormitory.

Outside the door, a palace maid spat on the ground hatefully: "What's the big deal, so dragged?" Dare to take the face of the old man with us coldly, and don't pee on yourself! ”

Another palace maid also said: "Yes, it's really too much, but she is used to being domineering, when Emperor Taizu was here, she was so domineering, didn't she make the queen angry to death?" If she hadn't been so domineering, relying on the favor of Emperor Taizu, she would have been promoted to a concubine a long time ago. She's just suffering from this mouth! ”

An old eunuch hurriedly scolded: "What are you chewing on the root of your tongue? ”

Several palace maids were busy covering their mouths.

Leng Yi smiled and said, "These are just a few fair words, and they can't be regarded as chewing the root of the tongue." ”

These palace maids were originally worried that they would be blamed by Leng Yi if they said this, but they didn't expect Leng Yi to support them, so they immediately smiled.

The old eunuch said: "You guys have a good life, you met a reasonable person like Lord Leng, if not, you would be in trouble today!" ”

"Yes, yes," several palace maids hurriedly said: "Lord Leng, we are actually not people who like to chew the root of our tongues, and we are really angry with this Daji's domineering." That's why I said that, but fortunately, the adults were reasonable and understood us. ”

The old eunuch said: "Yes, a master like Lord Leng is unattainable, and when a person meets the Lord today, it is also our creation." In the future, if the adults have any sends, the little ones will definitely go to the soup fire, and they will not hesitate! ”

These people are all people in the palace, especially good at things, seeing that Leng Yi is now appreciated by the official family, he is a big celebrity of the official family, and they are all busy patting their hearts and minds.

Leng Yi said lightly: "It's easy to say, you all tell your name, I don't have an errand runner under me, you are quite smart, when the fierce dog rushed up just now, you can still stay with me, and it is rare that you didn't run for your life." ”

Speaking of this matter, these palace female eunuchs were all flushed, they ran away before, but later saw that Leng Yi did not run, and the fierce dog did not rush up, so they had the courage to stay. Originally, it was a thing that did not wait for glory, but after Leng Yi said this, it became their advanced deeds. One by one, they laughed and said that they should be, and they all said their names and the masters they followed.

Leng Yi recounted on the side, without making a mistake, and said: "Catch up with Ming'er, I'll tell the prince that if I have something to investigate, I will let you follow, and your benefits will be indispensable." ”

Several palace maids and eunuchs were busy thanking them for the blessings, and they expressed their determination one after another.

Leng Yi nodded, listened with a smile, and waited for them to finish expressing their determination, and then they really encouraged a few more words. He led them to the emperor's bedchamber.

Wang Jien came out in person and arched his hand: "Lord Leng, what's going on?" ”

Leng Yi said: "There are some eyebrows, but I have encountered an obstacle and need to come to the official family to ask for advice." ”

"Oh? What obstacles? ”

Leng Yi looked left and right, coughed lightly, and didn't say anything more.

Wang Jien immediately understood and said, "Let's go in and wait, the official family is discussing the emergency military situation." ”

"Good!" Leng Yi followed into the main hall and came to a secluded place.

Wang Jien said in a low voice: "How is the situation? The official family was in a hurry. ”

Leng Yi also said in a low voice: "The official family is very anxious, is it the matter of Mrs. Hua Rui or the murder of the thirteen palace maids in Tiger Mountain?" ”

"Nonsense! Of course, it is the matter of Madame Flower, and what could be more concerning to the official family than this matter? ”

"But ......, there are thirteen palace maids in Tiger Mountain who were sent to be bitten to death by the tiger!"

"What's that. Isn't it just a few palace maids, it must be which concubine looked at these palace maids unpleasantly and threw them into the tiger mountain to feed the tigers. This kind of thing is not worth making a fuss about. Anyway, just being punished to death with a cane is no different from throwing it to feed the tiger. ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "In that case, why did the official family still let Weichen investigate this case with such fanfare?" ”

"Don't you know that? Naturally, it's for the sake of the flower stamen concubine! ”

"For the sake of the Stamen Concubine?"

"Of course," Wang Jien said: "At that time, Concubine Hua Rui was listening above, someone put a living person into Tiger Mountain to raise tigers, which led to the sudden occurrence of the surname of the tiger, causing a tragedy, and most of the most beloved tiger of Concubine Hua Rui also died, she was heartbroken, and the official family ordered to find out this matter, which was to give Hua Rui Niangniang an explanation." In fact, the official family has already estimated that this matter must have been done by which concubine or princess in the palace. Kill and kill, it's not a big deal. It's not worth so much excitement. The reason why you are asked to investigate the case with great fanfare is just to please Concubine Hua Rui. Brother, don't you know the joints in this? ”

Leng Yi suddenly realized: "I see, fortunately my brother pointed out, otherwise, I would have messed things up." ”

"That's right, you have to figure out the joints here, just find a scapegoat."

Leng Yi nodded frequently: "So, this case is just pretending to be shown to Concubine Hua Rui, you don't need to really investigate?" ”

"Not really." Wang Jien said meaningfully: "The degree of this must be grasped well, and the matter must be investigated, but it cannot be made public." The official family wants to know who is so cruel, and they also have a number in their hearts, and the official family will deal with it themselves. You just need to find out who it is, tell the official family secretly, and then find a scapegoat to deal with it, and that's it. ”

"Then I'll understand." Leng Yi said.

"What the official family wants to know more is when the concubine will agree to let the official family send the portrait of the first emperor to the temple, and plant flowers and plants in the temple. This is the most important thing that a virtuous brother needs to pay attention to. ”

"This little brother understands that he has been persuading Concubine Hua Rui, and now it seems that he has some eyebrows, that is, in the morning, Concubine Hua Rui wants to go to Tiger Mountain to watch the tiger, and I followed it cheekily. Concubine Hua Rui ridiculed me with words again and again, and even directly ordered the expulsion, but I still followed cheekily, constantly looking for opportunities to praise the official's Wen Taowu strategy and chivalrous tenderness. In the end, the flower lady echoed a sentence. ”

"Oh?" Wang Jien suddenly became interested, "What did the concubine say?" ”

"After the accident, the concubine was very sad and scared, I made amends, saying that I was suffering as a civil official, I had no power to restrain the chicken, and I couldn't protect the mother's integrity, if only the official family was there, the official family has experienced a hundred battles, and the martial arts are the first in the world, and they will definitely be able to subdue the tiger and protect the concubine Niangniang, and the tiger will not be harmed. In fact, the official family is also very willing to accompany the mother to play with the old man. The concubine nodded and said, 'That's what I said'! ”

"Really? That's what the concubine said? ”

"Yes. I was very happy. ”

"Great!" Wang Jien rubbed his hands excitedly, "The official family will be very happy when they hear the news." You continue! Be sure to strike while the iron is hot! If you do this, the officials will definitely reward you heavily. ”

"Hehe," Leng Yi thought for a while and said, "I thought, if the matter of Hushan is investigated clearly, and I give Hua Rui Niangniang a satisfactory explanation, then I will have a few more words, and there may be a door." ”

"Hmmm! You're right! Then you investigate the case first and find out as soon as possible. ”

"Actually, the matter is almost over, and the real culprit has almost come to light."

"Oh? Who is it? ”

Leng Yi lowered his voice: "Emperor Taizu's beauty Da Ji!" ”

Wang Jien was stunned: "Is it her?" ”

"I'm not sure yet, ** not far from ten. I have interrogated all the palace maids in her palace, and learned that there are exactly thirteen palace maids missing in her dormitory, so I took the dress extracted from the corpse of the Hushan maid to those palace maids for mixed identification, and identified it as the dress of the palace maid in Daji's dormitory! After interrogation, it was learned that the time when these palace maids disappeared happened to be when Daji Niangniang went to Hushan to play every time in the past six months. It's still there when I go, but it's gone when I come back, and every time my mother calls someone to go. ”

Wang Jien nodded frequently: "If it was her, it wouldn't be strange at all." ”

"Oh?"

"Da Ji Niangniang is flying and domineering, and the palace is famous. I heard that she was very cruel and often beat the palace maids and eunuchs to death. No one can control her. ”

Leng Yi nodded: "That's right, when we investigated in her dormitory, we also saw that she raised five fierce dogs, specifically to bite those palace maids and eunuchs who made mistakes, and almost all the people in their dormitory were bitten by this fierce dog." Moreover, she is also very envious and jealous of the stamen Niangniang who has raised so many tigers, saying that tigers eat people, I am afraid it is more exciting than watching fierce dogs bite people. Therefore, all these signs can be inferred that she should have pushed the erring palace maid into Tiger Mountain, taking pleasure in watching the tiger eat people, and did not want to stimulate the wild surname of the tiger, which caused this danger. ”

"That's how it should be!" Wang Jien nodded.

Leng Yi said: "This is just an inference, because I haven't asked Da Ji Niangniang herself and the maids around her." Exactly what the final plot will be is unknown. ”

Wang Jien waved his hand and said, "Don't ask her personally, the official family respects her, and you don't have to provoke her, so as not to be angry." ”

"Yes."

Wang Jien thought for a while and said, "Since Hua Rui Niangniang has made such a big progress in this matter, this must be reported to the housekeeper immediately." And the matter of Daji, alas, I'm afraid it's time for the official head again! - Wait a moment, I'll go in and ask for advice, and I'll be back at once. ”

With that, Wang Jien hurriedly entered. Not long after, he came back again, full of spring breeze, and said in a low voice: "I said it!" The official was very happy to hear this, and I mean the reaction of the flower lady. The official said, let you do this quickly. The plan you just said is very good, and the official family asked you to do so. In other words, you send someone to arrest one of the maids beside Da Ji and torture her, torture her to confess, convict her, and go to Hua Rui Niangniang to ask for a decree, just say that it is the intention of the official family, and let her know that the matter has been done. How to deal with it, just listen to her. As for Da Ji Niangniang's side, this can be regarded as a warning to her, and at the same time, the official family will also make a timely dial to let her stop everything in moderation. ”

"Good!" Leng Yi said: "The ten palace maids and eunuchs that my brother allocated to me are very clever, and I will also need manpower to do things in the future, can you allocate them to me in the future." ”

Wang Jien said with a smile: "Of course you can, in the future, you can investigate the case and transfer them directly, and I will just explain it." ”

"Thank you!"

Leng Yi said goodbye and told the ten palace maids and eunuchs, and they were all very happy.

Leng Yi said: "Now, I have an important task for you to find a way to accomplish, this is our first task, but we must not do it badly." ”

The ten palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly bowed down and agreed: "Please ask the master to command, we will go to the soup fire and get things done!" ”

"Good!" Leng Yi said: "You go and quietly tie up the person called 'Xue'e' in Da Ji Niangniang's dormitory to Tiger Mountain." I have something to ask her. Don't show the wind. whispered about it. ”

"Good!" These ten palace maids and eunuchs have long been unaccustomed to the people in Da Ji Niangniang's palace, and now they are attacking her, and they have the support of the holy decree behind them, so they are naturally gearing up and eager to try.

At that moment, after the female eunuchs of the palace discussed, they went out.

Leng Yi took the rest of the palace maids and eunuchs to Hushan.
