Shen Yue nodded with a calm face, "This time it was the little eunuch who died in front of the prince of the East Palace. ”

Waiting by the prince's side? It is rumored that Yingguiren's soul is asking for her life, and she has come to seek revenge on the person who killed her. Ye Xinyi naturally doesn't believe in any ghosts and gods, saying that it is haunted, but it is just a pretense for people. But is the purpose of the person behind this really to avenge the noble people? Or is there something else in the bigger picture?

The four people who died were all eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Die'er is serving by Princess Zhaoning's side, and the second is an old eunuch, who has no errands anymore, and spends his days in the south of the three houses. The third is an ordinary old palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau, and now this one is the little eunuch next to the prince, is there any connection between these people?

His Majesty was furious, and ordered Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to conduct a thorough investigation, and also asked Jinyi Wei to supervise him. Dali Temple ordered Xie Ming, the Criminal Department ordered Song Zeyuan, and Jinyiwei ordered me. ”

Shen Yue's expression was faint, but Ye Xinyi was shocked when he heard it. It stands to reason that this is a matter of the inner palace, and it should be investigated by the palace chief division, and it is not the turn of the criminal department and Dali Temple to take over, not to mention, let Jinyiwei also be responsible.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to ......." As Shen Yue expected, the seat of the squire of the Criminal Department was indeed vacant, and Xie Ming, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Song Zeyuan, the Lang of the Criminal Department, were the most likely to take the position. Behind Xie Ming is the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, but Song Zeyuan was born as a scholar from a poor family, but he entered Hanlin as a champion back then, and entered the sixth department, it is said that the case is like a god, he and Shen Yue are similar, but they are not similar. They don't have a family to rely on, and they can almost be regarded as Qianhe and the emperor hand in hand, but Shen Yue is a brocade guard and only acts according to the emperor's orders, while Song Zeyuan is a scholar, a literati and a high-minded scholar, but he also likes to hold a group, I can't say that he has already worshipped his teacher in private, even if he doesn't, if he can become a waiter in the criminal department this time, naturally someone will recruit him.

Emperor Qianhe did not send any excerpts about recommending candidates for the Criminal Department, nor did he express his position, could it be that he wanted to use this case to test these two people?

So...... What's the matter with Shen Yue?

Ye Xinyi didn't care about who could get the position of the squire of the Criminal Department, she just looked at Shen Yue, and she couldn't hide the worry between her eyebrows.

Shen Yue smiled, raised his hand to brush her hair, and sighed, "I didn't want to tell you, but if I didn't tell you, I'm afraid you'd have to be even more cranky, right?" ”

Ye Xinyi's eyebrows frowned, "Say it quickly!" ”

Shen Yue's expression was slightly restrained, "Xue Nan is afraid that he is missing." ”

Xue Nan had quietly left Beijing more than ten days ago, so it was naturally the errand that Emperor Qianhe had agreed to Shen Yue earlier.

But...... Missing? Ye Xinyi thought for a few moments, "What kind of errand is it?" ”

Shen Yue was silent, and finally lowered his voice and said, "The secret agent in the south secretly told Xia Changhe that he was secretly raising a private army, and he had a heart of disobedience. Your Majesty has always been jealous of the Xia family, how could he not investigate? ”

Xia Changhe? Actually...... Something to do with the Xia family?

Ye Xinyi had to be shocked, and after a while, she reined in her thoughts, "Xue Nan is missing at this time, and Your Majesty's suspicion is only going to be even heavier." ”

Who's to say it isn't? Shen Yue sighed.

"Then what is Your Majesty asking you to meddle in this case at this time?" Ye Xinyi was really uneasy, and couldn't help but reach out and grab Shen Yue's arm.

Shen Yue was the old god, and her backhand drenched her into a cold sweat, holding her cold hand in the palm of her hand, hooking the corners of her lips, and smiling happily, "What are you afraid of?" If it comes, it will be safe, but the left will not be blocked by soldiers, and the water will be covered by the earth. ”

He said it lightly, as if he had a bamboo in his chest, but he vividly expressed the steadiness of Mount Tai without changing his face when he collapsed in front of him, but Ye Xinyi couldn't do it as calm and calm as he was, lying in bed at night, in the heat of the summer, he felt even more irritable, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep.

In the end, Shen Yue frowned, clasped her in his arms with his backhand, and warned her that if she didn't sleep obediently, he wouldn't let her sleep, so she stiffened and forced herself to close her eyes.

She was sure that she liked him, they were originally husband and wife, and now that they were moved, they wanted to take that step, and it was nothing. But she was still a little apprehensive in her heart..... Thinking of that incident, he was even more embarrassed, Shen Yue had been in Beizhen Fusi for so long, this ability to see through people's hearts was really impatient, pinching her seven inches, pinching one accurate.

Ye Xinyi really didn't dare to move anymore, although she closed her eyes, she still couldn't help but think nonsense, but listening to the powerful and steady heartbeat in his chest, surrounded by his breath, she unconsciously calmed down, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

She fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep at this time, but she was replaced by Shen Yue.

This beloved girl is in her arms, but she can't touch it, Shen Yue is really painful and happy. He gritted his teeth, pushed Ye Xinyi out of his arms, turned over, and lay down, a little away from her.

I took a deep breath, and after a while, I gradually calmed down.

Turning his head to look at Ye Xinyi's quiet sleeping face, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, that's it, these hundred forbearances are about to become gold, what can't bear it?

But if she can sleep peacefully, it's all worth it.

The bitterness in his smile faded, his eyes softened into a puddle of water, he simply turned over and lay on his side, propped his head up with his arms, and just looked at her like this, and he didn't know how long it took before he slowly fell asleep.

Since Xie Ming and Song Zeyuan entered the office, they have investigated and judged countless cases, and they have a lot of experience, but the name of judging cases like a god is not in vain, it is the case of the unjust soul in the palace asking for their lives, and frequent people fall into the well, under the intervention of these two adults, there was soon progress.

In the previous three cases, the body and relics of the deceased have been disposed of, so naturally nothing can be found, and although the little eunuch of the East Palace who just died seems to have drowned, the back of his head shows a shade of blood, but it is covered by hair, which is not obvious.

Although some people also raised objections that it could not be ruled out that it was caused by hitting the convex stone in the well on the way to the water, it could be immediately dismissed by Lord Xie, because of the perennial humid environment, there are moss on it, if it really hit the convex stone on the side of the well, the blood shade and the hair of the deceased should also be found.

Lord Song also agreed with Lord Xie's opinion, preferring that the deceased was first attacked from behind, hit the back of the head with a blunt object, and then pushed down the well to drown.

However, after the scene was examined, no blunt object was found, and other traces proving the existence of the murderer were not found.

However, Xie Ming and Song Zeyuan are not worthy of their name, they have their own skills.

Both of them felt that the three earlier cases were inseparable from this one, so they carefully checked the life background of the four deceased, but found some clues.

"You mean, that old eunuch was originally serving by Empress Chen's side?" Ye Xinyi frowned when he heard Shen Yue talk about it.

Shen Yue nodded, "Although he is only a rough eunuch, he does serve in Kunning Palace." And the old palace maid of the Huanyi Bureau, who served in Jingren Palace at first, but more than ten years ago, accidentally broke one of Xie Guifei's valuable objects, according to the rules, she was supposed to be killed with a cane, Xie Guifei remembered the old love of the master and servant, which exempted her from the capital crime and demoted her to the Huanyi Bureau. ”
