In the duty room, a lot of candles were specially added to make this small hall bright. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The so-called duty room, in fact, is a place where the military attachés on duty sit in the hall of the guards and pro-soldiers, and if there is any disturbance in the palace, the pro-troops of the guards will immediately report here and be disposed of by the military attache on duty.

Of course, this is actually just a situation, and when something really happens, the first time is to notify the emperor, and the emperor has a tribunal, and this side will be implemented.

There is no trivial matter in the palace, and any little wind and grass may not be worth mentioning outside, but now it is not trivial.

Mu Bin sat in this duty room, and did wait for a lot of time, at this time, he seemed a little uneasy, although the palace did not come up with a deadline, but fools know that this case cannot be investigated endlessly in the palace, and it will be bad if there is no eyebrows in the morning.

His Majesty's mood is obviously not good, and there is a limit to any tolerant person, in fact, in this incident, whether it is a pro-army or a celebrant supervisor, no one wants to get rid of the relationship, and the only one who can clear up the relationship is Liu Chengfeng, anyway, if he can't find out the poisoned person today, his good life will come to an end.

Finally became the commander of the pro-army, encountered such a thing, now thinking about it, I feel a little discouraged, he took a sip of tea, his stomach was even more hungry, leaning on his coffee table There is actually a plate of pastries, but this pastry he is not in the mood to use it at all.

"What time is it?"

"If you go back to your adult, you will ...... when you are a child"

"Zi Shi ......" Mu Bin muttered in a low voice, there are at most three hours before dawn, and these three hours cannot be neglected at all.

"Is there anything about Liu Yan, it's really not possible, let's call someone." Mu Bin looked a little nervous and said slowly.

While he was talking, there were hurried footsteps outside, and someone came in first, saying, "Liu Yan's matter has arrived." ”

At this time, Liu Chengfeng arrived on the back foot, and seeing this Mu Bin's restless appearance, he knew that he was also in a hurry, so he didn't say anything more, just pursed his lips, and said: "My lord, it's too late for the next official, gossip or don't talk much, I don't know if the adults are here, have all the people brought it?" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Bin's eyes, and he pressed his hand and said, "You sit here for a while, and I will ask someone to escort someone here." ”

After giving an order, Liu Chengfeng was not in a hurry, it was not that he was not afraid of boiling water, but he knew that the more he was at this time, the more he could not be in a hurry, his own position was messed up, and he hoped to find out what clues?

Immediately, a few pro-soldiers led seven or eight people in.

Mu Bin introduced: "These seven or eight are all eunuchs, and they have all touched those drinks, three of them are Shangshan supervisors, two are Zhidian supervisors, and one is Wu Gonggong, the young eunuch of the internal official prison. ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at these eunuchs, some of these people lowered their heads, some of them looked innocent and panicked, and a few looked drowsy, presumably it was not early, and their bodies were a little unbearable.

But it was Gonggong Wu who was the official supervisor who was still calm, and suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Chengfeng, and when Liu Chengfeng looked at him, he actually smiled at Liu Chengfeng calmly.

Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything, and after looking at everyone's faces, Mu Bin took out another list, handed it to Liu Chengfeng, and said: "These are the documents transferred by these eunuchs, and they contain their lives, so you might as well take a look at Liu Chengfeng." ”

Liu Chengfeng was not in a hurry to look, and said with a smile: "My lord, can you let them all wait outside, who can I call, and then let them come in to answer?" ”

As soon as he said this, Mu Bin certainly responded to his requests, not to mention the friendship between the two of them, and there was no unfamiliar polite remarks. Not to mention that Liu Chengfeng is now ordering to check people, and he Mu Bin is just an assistant, after Mu Bin smiled, he quickly took a sip of tea and said, "I ordered to go down." ”

There are a total of six eunuchs, not much to say, but not too much, a moment has passed, it is dark outside, Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and looked at the black fog outside the duty room, and then coughed.

When the people outside heard the cough, they immediately understood what they meant, and then the first eunuch walked in.

"What's your name?" Liu Chengfeng didn't pretend to intimidate anything, but seemed a little approachable.

The eunuch's calves and stomach were trembling slightly, and he glanced at Liu Chengfeng in fear, and said, "Slave Zhou Chen." ”

"Zhou Chen......" Liu Chengfeng wrote down the name, then lowered his head and flipped through the list handed to him by Fang Cai Mu Bin, and muttered: "Zhou Chen, is it?" At the age of twelve, he entered the palace and has been working as an errand in the imperial food prison, specifically responsible for taking care of the wine cellar. ”

Zhou Chen wanted to cry out and said: "It's good, I can hide for a while, who knows that this kind of thing is bad, the slave and maid have always been conscientious in their duties, how dare they do the poisoning thing, my lord, the slave and the maid have lived in the palace for a long time, and they don't even know what arsenic is, the adult must be aware of it, don't wronged the slave and maid." ”

Its words sounded very awkward, but Liu Chengfeng knew in his heart that this Zhou Chen was really a person who had never seen the world, and in front of himself, his first sentence was to tell himself to be clear, and ordinary people heard this, and thought that the dead eunuch thought that he had wronged others. This opening sentence can make people disgusted.

It's no wonder, otherwise how could he enter the palace at the age of twelve and still guard the wine cellar? I don't know how to be sophisticated, and this kind of place in the palace is not something that others can handle casually.

This person...... It's not like a person who can do big things.

This was Liu Chengfeng's first hunch.

But some things are really uncertain, Liu Chengfeng is not in a hurry, he smiled, and said: "Don't worry, naturally I won't wronged you, then let me ask you, since you are the eunuch guarding the wine cellar, have you touched all those wines?" ”

Zhou Chen hurriedly said: "No, no, the slave and maid are just in charge of the key, someone came from Kunning Palace, and after handing over the note, I opened the warehouse and let them go in and move it by themselves, but when they moved out, it was another person who counted it." ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Zhou Chen, smiled slightly, and then stopped asking about the case, and began to ask about some household matters: "How many people are in your family, why do you come to be a eunuch?" ”

This week, Chen saw that Liu Chengfeng was not fierce, but he was also relieved, and said: "The slave's parents died early, and there are two brothers in the family, because the family is poor, so he and the slave's younger brother agreed together, the two of them draw lots, and whoever wins the lottery will enter the palace, and the slave and maid have bad luck......"

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help laughing: "So you entered the palace after you castrated yourself first?" ”

Zhou Chen smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, it was also the good luck of the slave and maid at that time, when the slave and maid entered the palace, it happened to be the new monarch ascending the throne, and during the Chenghua period, the palace also recruited eunuchs on a large scale, and the slave and maid cut themselves. ”

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help sighing, saying that Emperor Chenghua is really not a thing, but the current emperor is not very kind. During the Chenghua period, because of alchemy, there was a great demand for eunuchs in the palace, which also made many poor children compete to castrate themselves. But who knows, when Zhu Youboring took the throne, the first thing was to tell everyone that he didn't want eunuchs.

So those who had emasculated themselves before, suddenly there was a lot of mourning, and they all wanted to die, and some of them had to do with each other, and it didn't matter that this life was over.

Zhou Chen was lucky, and finally squeezed in. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he doesn't know where to beg in the Imperial City now.

But for this kind of person, Liu Chengfeng can't sympathize with it, this kind of thing is a thing that is willing to fight and suffer, and people don't force you to cut it.

"Then let me ask you, who do you think is the most suspicious about the poisoning of arsenic?"

When Liu Chengfeng finished asking this sentence, he looked at Zhou Chen with blazing eyes.

Zhou Chen was asked, but Liu Chengfeng's words, he didn't dare not answer, he thought for a moment, and then hesitated and said: "The slave doesn't dare to say." ”

Liu Chengfeng's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but shake his spirits, and asked: "You also said yourself, let me not wronged you, but you are squeaking now, not speaking honestly, when the time comes, you will be wronged, you don't have to cry and cry at that time." ”

This sentence was obviously very effective, and Zhou Chen hurriedly said: "Slave...... The slave and the maid are dead, and the slave and the maid say everything. The slave felt that the young eunuch Wu Gonggong of the inner official prison was quite suspicious. ”

"You go on." Liu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Chen swallowed and spit, and said slowly: "Gonggong Wu is a young eunuch in the internal official prison, he is responsible for repairing the palace affairs, and he is in the outer court, that is, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, originally this matter of carrying wine has nothing to do with him, but when he was at the birthday banquet of his son and mother yesterday, he personally brought someone to carry the wine, and the slave maid felt a little suspicious, but he had a note in his hand, plus he was a young eunuch, and the slave and maid did not dare to disobey him, so ......"

Liu Chengfeng stroked the bookcase with his hand, and suddenly understood that a person who should not have appeared appeared in the wine cellar, and it was difficult for this person not to make people suspicious: "Can he enter the wine cellar and touch the wine?" ”

Zhou Chen said: "I went in, but I didn't touch the wine or not, but the slave didn't know." ”
