Chapter 363: Investigation of the True Murderer
You don't have to worry about this, I'll give you a week to investigate this matter, and in a week I'll send a man over to get the results, and then I will know exactly where this jade jue comes from and who has it. ”
Ye Zhenzhen glanced at the shopkeeper, only to feel that he was getting more and more slippery, when I first saw him, I only felt that this person seemed to have been soaked in the pawnshop for a long time, and he couldn't help but have a bit of a businessman's greedy atmosphere, and now he seems to be even more sleek when he looks at him again.
But in other words, it is such a person who is safer to stay in such a secret stronghold, because he will not easily trust others, but he will not dare to betray the lord's house easily.
"Yes, the small ones are all according to what the owner says, and tonight I will send someone to contact the spies in the palace to investigate, and the owner just needs to wait patiently."
Although the shopkeeper was sleek, he treated Ye Zhenzhen honestly, only to see him looking at Ye Zhenzhen's stomach from a distance, and protecting all kinds of sharp table corners behind him without any traces, so he nodded and complimented.
"Shopkeeper, how long have you been here? How long have you been working for Empress Xiaoyi? Who else is in your family? ”
Although Nangong Mu found it for her, even the small things in this pawnshop were grasped by Nangong Mu, but Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel a little worried, she would rather have everything in her own hands, so she asked more.
"If you go back to the owner, the little one has been here for more than 20 years, and he used to live in a small country next to him, but over the years, some have been wiped out a long time ago, and some have been merged into other countries, and now he can't tell the truth."
"As for the family, the little one has only one person since he was a child, Queen Xiaoyi is very good to the small, gentle and virtuous, is the most considerate owner that the small one has ever seen, and then I heard that the Queen Xiaoyi is gone, and the small one is also sad, and I heard that the queen has a son, and the head ordered to stay in place, and live a life in this duty, saying that sooner or later one day we will have a place to use, and this has been waiting for many years, and finally met the owner."
Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen suddenly asked about the bottom matter, the shopkeeper did not resist, but he saw that he recounted the past with some sadness in his eyes, Ye Zhenzhen looked quietly on the side, and saw a man in his forties who seemed to have tears in his eyes, and suddenly felt something in his heart.
"Don't worry, the owner is all the people picked by Queen Xiaoyi, we all signed the contract, even if the small one dies, he will complete the order according to the will of the owner, these years have been comfortable for a long time, you are indeed a little surprised to see the owner."
The shopkeeper is an old man who knows how to reassure the master above, I saw him say very sincerely, seeing that his always mellow person suddenly became serious, Ye Zhenzhen was still a little uncomfortable.
"How many people did Empress Xiaoyi leave behind? Who is there anywhere? Do you know who is responsible for all these things? And how to dock? Is it just a bracelet left by Empress Xiaoyi? There will also be this kind of thing in the palace or others, could it be that there is more than one person you are loyal to? ”
Ye Zhenzhen is really confused, she wanted to secretly get an intelligence department for herself, so as to give herself an extra layer of protection, after all, the turmoil in Beijing and the palace is treacherous, and it may be turned upside down overnight, this is her way to save her life, but who knows that Nangong Mu is like a roundworm in her stomach, and she handed over the Huiyu pawnshop to her, and then she happily accepted it, and there were not many times when she used the Huiyu pawnshop in the past, so this matter has been shelved.
"If you go back to the owner, the people of our Huiyu pawnshop are all over the country, and the business is also very extensive, some are silk merchants, some are the owners of rice shops, some are money shops, some are Zhuangzi, some are taverns, all places, there are some people in the royal family of various countries, and the nobles are indispensable in their families, but they all perform their duties on weekdays, if there is no accident, I am afraid that there will never be a time to meet."
"As for how to dock, it is naturally what the owner said, that is, the old things of the Empress Xiaoyi, basically there are a few old people of the Empress Xiaoyi in various countries, these old things are naturally recognized, of course, not all old things can be used, there are only two objects, one is the jade pendant given by the Empress Xiaoyi, and the other is the bracelet in the hand of the owner, if this bracelet is not mistaken, it has been stored in the palace for more than ten years, and the emperor has never taken it out, so it can support our pawnshop, there is only the jade pendant of the Empress XiaoyiIt's a pity that I've been missing for many years, and the little ones have never seen it, until the eldest prince came with the jade pendant, and Gonggong Su came to explain, and we understood. ”
Talking about the past, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop gushed endlessly, and saw that he said it vividly, and everything was like a well-arranged script, without error.
Ye Zhenzhen thought about the jade pendant, if she remembered correctly, when she married into the Su family and served Su Gonggong as her father, he gave him a jade pendant, saying that it was the only thing Nangong Mu had.
It seems that everything is planned, one of these two objects was left in the palace, no one knew its use, and the other was personally given to Gonggong Su and asked him to leave with Nangong Mu, no wonder Nangong Mu had endless money to spend before, Queen Xiaoyi was indeed a smart woman, and she planned so much for her only son before she died.
"That's it, it's not too late to understand this matter in the future, I have to go back to the palace, and this matter will be handed over to you, as soon as possible."
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the sky outside, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that it would not be safe, the ghost guards were worried, and Nangong Mu was also worried, so she put her hat on her head and hurriedly turned her head and left.
After returning to the palace, Huaizhu had already returned, and he was seen leaning lazily against the wall as usual, his eyes closed as if he was sleeping, and Ye Zhenzhen did not disturb him.
Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the palace to have many unknown things.
Huaizhu has always been absent from the breath for the past two days, and I heard people say that he often goes out of the house over the wall, Ye Zhenzhen didn't ask, thinking that he was a wanderer in the rivers and lakes, and he also had his own affairs, and he was asked to stay at the beginning, if he imprisoned his freedom, he lost the demeanor of the master's family, so he went, and the safety of the house was handed over to him.
In the palace, in the middle of the night, the candles in the council hall were bright, looking at the piles of folds sent up, Emperor Daqing picked up the lantern and fought at night, and did not admit defeat at all.
Several teams of guards passed through the palace in an orderly manner, inspecting every place in the palace in an orderly manner.
A black figure flashed by, disappearing into the grass without leaving a trace, except for the sound of the wind whistling in the ears of the guards.
"Come on, you can change the next shift to work, you go to drink tea and rest, you must not fall asleep at night, you have to wait for you to go up and change shifts later."
The commander of the Praetorian Guard looked at the two groups of men who had just gathered together, and then pointed to one group of people who had just finished patrolling, and the other group was ready to go, lined up in a row, and then scattered in all directions.
After the handover ceremony, the guards who had just finished their duties were like frosted eggplants, wilted, and saw them in the guards' room with a few pots of tea, and some people with some wine, and many of them fell asleep with some sleepiness, when a little eunuch came in and cleaned the house, and brought them some hot water.
Everything is going on quietly and without a trace, only the people arranged in the mainland know that in fact, all this is already under their control, everything is normal in the next few days, the guard who sent Ye Zhenzhen to the Yu Yi Division in the past has many pairs of eyes around him, no matter where he goes, on duty or resting, he will be watched without a trace, even he himself feels that it doesn't seem to be very safe, but he can't say it.
Waiting day by day, Ye Zhenzhen's belly is also eight months old, I saw that it is very difficult for her to even sit up now, sometimes her hands and feet will become bloated, and the whole person can't even open her eyes, like a dying person, Ye Zhenzhen only then understands that pregnancy is such a hard thing.
"Why does Miss look cramped and restless today? Is it uncomfortable to move the fetus again, the slave maid asked people to go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look, but I am afraid that these fetal pills are not suitable to eat at this time, the prince ordered early in the morning, so that the midwives are resting in the side courtyard. ”
All day long, Ye Zhenzhen was pacing in the courtyard or room with her stomach covered, the whole person looked as if she had something on her mind, Zhilan was afraid that something would happen to her at this time, so she nervously went up to ask, obviously a little too nervous.
"No need, pinch the days and say it, I'm afraid there will be seven days today."
Ye Zhenzhen shook her head slightly, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, but the day she set for her had arrived, and Huaizhu didn't say anything to her about this matter, she was eager to know who wanted to attack her.
As soon as Ye Zhenzhen said this, Zhilan understood, but she was afraid that Ye Zhenzhen was worried about the Huiyu pawnshop, so at noon, Zhilan brought a wide cloak and asked people to drive the carriage to the Huiyu pawnshop.
Everything is logical, the shopkeeper invited Ye Zhenzhen to the apse to arrange, and asked people to send ginger tea to warm the stomach, but Ye Zhenzhen didn't touch a mouthful, she is now golden, and she has to be careful everywhere, so she will not use anything in her mouth easily.
"How's it going? The seven-day period has arrived, can you find out who owns that Yujue and who is related to it? ”
As soon as Ye Zhenzhen sat down, she couldn't wait to open her mouth and ask, that person could attack her again and again, but I was afraid that she couldn't prevent it, and her delivery was approaching, if she didn't pull out this nail, how could she give birth with peace of mind?
