Who else knows but him?

Wang Tong looked at the commander of the forbidden army on the side.

The leader of the forbidden army guards was stunned for a moment, and then blurted out: "Naturally, there are only a few of us." "After all, arranging the defense of the imperial city is all arranged by them.

This answer was not surprising at all, and the girl thought for a moment and asked them, "Then you have a fixed guard to guard the temple every day?" ”

The commander of the forbidden army guard shook his head and said, "Actually, it's hard to say, after all, sometimes there are guards who have temporary problems, and they often change shifts or something." ”

Therefore, it is said that these things cannot be known in advance by the women in charge of the arrangements such as him, let alone afraid of others.

The girl did not continue to inquire about this matter, but lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then looked up at the pale guard again, and said, "When was the last time you took a shift to go to His Highness?" ”

As soon as this question came out, before the guard could speak, one of the several guards who pulled him spoke: "This, I remember, is the dormitory of His Royal Highness who guarded with me five days ago. ”

"What happened that day?" Qiao Ran's eyes flashed, and he asked the guard who spoke, and at the end, he didn't forget to add, "Anything is fine." ”

"Anything?" The guard who opened his mouth muttered and glanced at the guard who was unsteady on his legs, and was silent, "Actually...... Yes, I remember when I came back from the thatched hut and saw Wang Tong talking to a palace maid, the corners of his mouth seemed to be stained with pastries or something. ”

At the mention of pastries or something, the commander of the forbidden army immediately looked at the guard named Wang Tong.

Wang Tong was suddenly anxious, and a few traces of blood appeared on his originally pale face: "I don't blame me, it was a palace maid who asked me for directions, I pointed the way, and she took a piece of osmanthus cake from the basket she carried and stuffed it in my mouth." ”

"It turned out that I ate osmanthus cake." Fang pointed out that Wang Tong's guard who was stealing food subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then glanced at him unceremoniously, and said, "I asked you something before, but it turned out that a little palace maid sent osmanthus cake to eat, does your wife know about this?" "When he goes back today, he must stop by his house and complain!

Wang Tongcai's face turned pale again, and he said hurriedly: "I was forced, the palace maid suddenly stuffed a piece of pastry in my mouth without saying anything, and it was a waste ......to spit it out."

However, thinking of today's inexplicable diarrhea, and these days I haven't eaten anything else except this osmanthus cake, Wang Tong became nervous again: "That osmanthus cake was eaten five days ago, it shouldn't matter!" ”

"I've said it a few times, don't touch anything from unknown sources!" The commander of the forbidden army glared at Wang Tong fiercely with a solemn face at the right time, and reprimanded: "This time it's just diarrhea, what if it's poisonous next time?" How many lives do you have to live? ”

Wang Tong's face was as white as earth, and his lips trembled, but he could not say anything.

But this is really not the time to investigate, so after the girl pondered for a moment, she spoke again: "Do you remember the appearance of that palace maid?" ”

Wang Tong was stunned, rolled his eyelids and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't remember clearly, it's not too good-looking anyway, and it's not too ugly." ”

What's the difference between saying and not saying? Zhou Shilin, who had been holding back for a while, couldn't help but curse in his heart. Although he also knew that it was impossible for everyone to remember it as well as her, especially since it happened five days ago, and there were very few who could remember it. But no matter how little you can say, he doesn't know anything.

The girl snorted, didn't blame, but asked Wang Tong again: "Did you say anything to the palace maid who asked for directions that day?" ”

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, and was rolling his eyelids and was about to say that he didn't know, but when he faced the cold face of the commander of the forbidden army, he still had to think about it seriously, and said, "She just asked how to go to the imperial dining room......"

"Then the osmanthus cake is delicious?" The girl suddenly interrupted Wang Tong's words at this time, and then said to Zhou Shilin on the side without waiting for him to reply, "I remember that there was osmanthus cake at today's banquet, and I bothered the chief to go in and take a plate out and ask him to recognize whether the palace maid gave him this is the case." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and in Zhou Shilin's cold snort of "waiting", the commander of the forbidden army couldn't help but ask Qiao Ran: "Lord Qiao, do you mean that the osmanthus cake in the hand of the palace maid who asked for directions is from the imperial dining room?" ”

Holding the pastries in his hand, he asked how to get there...... It's weird if it's okay. has nothing to do, can it be that which palace maid has a budding heart and falls in love with this stupid person who has already married a wife?

As soon as the commander of the forbidden army thought of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and glare at Wang Tong, and reprimanded him again: "Are you stupid? The things at the entrance of this palace can be brought in casually? ”

Wang Tong had a white face, and at this time he also vaguely understood the problem, and it happened that at this time, Zhou Shilin walked out with a plate of osmanthus cake, and after just one glance, he couldn't help but nod and said: "It's that kind of thing, it's very good-looking." ”

In this palace, in addition to the imperial dining room, which specializes in this, and makes the pastries that enter the mouth so standard, which palace has this spare time?

Originally, he was scolded by the commander for being "stupid", and he was still a little aggrieved, and at this time, he hated to scold himself, and he was afraid that he would not be stupid.

It's no wonder that the palace maid's behavior is so strange.

Zhou Shilin pinched a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and saw the ugly face of the forbidden army guard named Wang Tong, so he nodded and said: "It seems that it is, it is indeed delicious, no wonder a piece of osmanthus cake bought you." ”

He smacked his lips while eating, which immediately provoked many forbidden army guards to look at this side, especially the one who pointed out that Wang Tong had eaten secretly before, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The Grand Overseer did this...... Isn't it too much?

Everyone was greedy, and felt that he was not too much for Zhou Shilin, and he didn't think it was in the hall before, but at this time, he suddenly felt that the osmanthus cake in the entrance was extremely delicious, and it was simply the most osmanthus cake he had ever eaten in his life.

The problem of eating is solved, but how does the other party ensure that Wang Tong will definitely guard His Highness there today, and not others? As for the osmanthus cake she ate five days ago, it only happened five days later, Qiao Ran privately thought that it was not impossible, especially in her heart that she suspected that this matter had something to do with Yuan Jiaojiao, and it should not be a difficult thing for her.

Of course, there is no definite evidence of this at the moment, so it is necessary to investigate.

Looking at Wang Tong, who was uneasy and annoyed, Qiao Ran squinted, turned to the other forbidden army guards and said, "These days, well, it's just half a month!" In the past half a month, who have been guarding the palace in His Royal Highness in addition to Wang Tong? ”

The Praetorian guards looked at each other for a moment, and soon someone walked out one after another.

Because several of them are frequent visitors here of His Royal Highness, plus the rotation, there are only five people who came out of the house, including Wang Tong.

After Qiao Ran looked at the five forbidden army guards who came out, he asked them, "Have any of you been sent food to eat when your highness was guarding the palace?" ”

There are Wang Tong's "lessons from the past", but several people reacted quickly, did not dwell on today's day, thought about it carefully, and quickly said it in turn.

"I ...... It seems that there is, it was seven or eight days ago, and when I was on duty, the palace maid there gave me a bowl of chicken soup, saying that it was a pity that His Highness didn't drink it. The Praetorian Guard, who spoke, glanced at the Praetorian Commander with an unkind face.

There is the first, and naturally there is the second.

"I ...... Yes, it was sent by a palace maid, and it should be someone from His Royal Highness, who gave me a bag of candied fruit. ”

"I'm a rice cake from a palace maid."

……

One answer was smoother than the other, and when it came to the last "half a roast chicken", the face of the commander of the forbidden army was almost dripping, and when Qiao Ran's voice just fell, he couldn't help but blurt out and scolded: "Are you greedy for those foods?" Next time, if someone wants to add poison to food, will you still be alive? ”

The guards of the forbidden army, who had just spoken out in turn, were silent now, and in the end, Wang Tong, who was still at the beginning, said silently: "I never thought that the people there would be doing things in the food. ”

Originally, there were doubts about this Lord Qiao's sudden questioning that the osmanthus cake he ate five days ago was the culprit of his "diarrhea", but now the experience of "accepting food" opened by his colleagues one after another is obviously telling him that it is not without reason that Master Qiao suspects.

As for what method was used, although it had been five days since he had eaten the osmanthus cake, Wang Tong still had a churning feeling in his stomach, and a name appeared in his mind inexplicably.

Miss Hara.

This matter must have something to do with Miss Hara! After all, Miss Yuan is a talisman doctor, and they don't know much about this kind of talisman doctor, but they think it should be similar to a doctor. It shouldn't be impossible for a healer like Miss Yuan to feed them something in advance, and then let them have a seizure at the right time!

Therefore, no matter which of them comes to His Highness to guard the palace here today, I am afraid that they will have diarrhea. Thinking like this, several forbidden army guards couldn't stand still, and they couldn't wait to leave now, and ask Imperial Doctor Liu to get a pill to eat and suppress the shock.

The Commander said that you can't just eat indiscriminately, and that's really no joke!

Of course, these are just speculations.

Qiao Ran looked at the forbidden guards and said, "Do you remember what the palace maids who gave you food looked like?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several people suddenly fell silent.

Zhou Shilin, who was biting the osmanthus cake on the side, couldn't help but curse "mother" again when he saw this, and knew that he couldn't count on these stupid cubs, what was the use of asking them for their heads? Isn't it a palace maid who I saw five or six days ago, seven or eight or eight or nine days ago? What kind of head is this? He Zhou Shilin...... Belch...... I don't necessarily remember it.

Thinking about it like this, I feel that it's not good to blame these forbidden army guards, after all, they are all ordinary people, which one is as memorable as the one next to me?

Seeing that these forbidden army guards were silent, the girl didn't ask any more, but only thanked the commander of the forbidden army and let them leave.

After the commander of the forbidden army led the group of dumb forbidden troops to leave, Zhou Shilin couldn't help but ask her: "That's it?" ”

The girl said "um" and said: "There are only so many questions that can be asked from the forbidden army, Your Majesty asked me to give a truth, and I returned to her directly, obviously I was not prepared to take the path of Dali Temple." The girl said calmly, "Great Governor, the way of Dali Temple is different from directly returning to His Majesty, Dali Temple needs exact evidence, but here Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if the evidence is not so sufficient." ”

Especially if His Majesty still wants her to give the truth in a short period of time, she is obviously not prepared to let her fully find evidence, so as long as the truth she gives makes Her Majesty feel reasonable, Your Majesty will find out.

Of course, as an official of Dali Temple, what is given will definitely be the most likely truth.

Zhou Shilin pinched the osmanthus cake and thought seriously for a while, and said, "So, this matter was done by Miss Yuan?" ”

He thought about it, if Miss Yuan did it, not to mention that he could let the forbidden army guards leave in time because of "physical discomfort", it would be extremely suspicious to say that Her Highness was so "coincidentally" absent when she was ill. Moreover, it seems that she is also the one who can really arouse His Highness's dissatisfaction with this person on the side, and with so many coincidences, it would be strange if Miss Yuan was innocent.

The more Zhou Shilin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and after saying his guess, he hurriedly looked at Qiao Ran, waiting for her answer.

"It's possible." In this regard, the girl didn't show any surprised expression, and didn't even praise him for "making progress in reasoning", so she continued, "It's just that if she really did it, then she has too many suspicions." ”

Although Yuan Jiaojiao is indeed inferior to her in the investigation of the case, it is too unsmart to do such a thing when she is so suspicious.

It is true that because of Yuan Jiaojiao's "Fu Medical Methods", His Majesty will not do anything to her, but a Yuan Jiaojiao who is behind His Royal Highness's Hu Lai, Your Majesty is afraid that she will also have a mustard!

Yuan Jiaojiao is not so stupid. Not to mention that even if Yuan Jiaojiao was really blinded by "hatred" for a while, would those people in Jiao and Yuan really let her come nonsense?

Qiao Ran didn't think so.

"So, there are other possibilities besides her." Qiao Ran said, "Those forbidden army guards all mentioned the 'palace maid', even if this person's appearance is not obvious enough, so that they can't remember it, but since the 'palace maid' is mentioned, there are only a few palace maids in the palace of His Royal Highness, so it is easy to find that palace maid from inside." ”

When Zhou Shilin heard this, he immediately blurted out: "Then look for it!" "Anyway, those people have already been taken down by the forbidden army, how can they be interrogated if it is not a matter of His Majesty's words?

The girl glanced at him and said, "The other party also knows that choosing a day that is not so close will make those forbidden army guards unable to remember her, obviously not so stupid." If I were her, I would never use my true identity to approach those Forbidden Guards, and I would have to make sure that His Majesty's thunderous wrath would not affect me after the incident. ”

Zhou Shilin was stunned for a moment, but this time before he could ask, the girl went on "on the road": "Great Inspector, in addition to those palace people and maids who were dragged away, there is one person in the palace of His Royal Highness who has not been affected except for His Royal Highness and Miss Yuan herself, have you forgotten?" ”

Water line. The original delicate maid. It is not difficult for her to borrow a palace maid's skirt, and besides, in terms of appearance alone, it is indeed not easy for people to remember Shuixing.

In the past, she could quickly remember that Shui Xing was still because of Shui Xing's "thorny" character, and she saw who stabbed whom, but today's Shui Xing was unexpectedly quiet, and she almost forgot about this arrogant girl in the palace of the Great Highness before.
