Chapter 495: Something Else
Ten days is not a long time, nor is it short, but after all, Gao Qi was not at the scene at all when he caught fire, and he also heard those little eunuchs in the palace say that after the water went near the study, he hurried down, he couldn't see what happened, so he could only look for clues near the fire after extinguishing the fire, but after all, this was what Shen Zhongbai ordered, even if Gao Qi was dissatisfied, it was impossible to really say anything to Shen Zhongbai, if it was sweet, the deadline was really up, and if he didn't know any relevant clues, he could only solve the military order he had made earlier and die under Shen Zhongbai's knife.
After all, Lou Mingyue hasn't been on the rivers and lakes for a few years, and he doesn't know how to distinguish whether the food delivered every day has been poisoned, although he also knows in his heart that these slow/sex/poison should not kill him in the short term, but in the long run, he doesn't know how long he wants to stay in this place, it's always like this, it's definitely not good.
But if you really don't eat a drop of water and don't eat at all, your body will definitely not be able to support it, in this case, I am afraid that before I can escape, I will be starved to death, and I will starve myself to death.
Gao Qi saw that Lou Mingyue's face was not very good, and naturally remembered Shen Zhongbai's advice to him, he just looked at Lou Mingyue and couldn't let him out of the palace, but if something happened to Lou Mingyue, it would really be a dereliction of duty.
"King Jun, even if you don't eat or drink, the emperor won't let you out because of this." Gao Qi originally thought that Lou Mingyue wanted to lift the grounding as soon as possible, so he used this way to threaten them, and it was also true that he was just a brocade guard after all, even if he had always adhered to his own way of doing things and never offended others, but this did not mean that his brain was spinning so fast like those civil officials, for him, he couldn't think of why Shen Zhongbai would let people poison the food, and he couldn't understand what Lou Mingyue was doing now.
"I ...... I'm not ......" Lou Mingyue didn't know what to say for a while, so she couldn't explain this matter clearly, so she didn't bother to explain it to Gao Qi directly, after all, even if she said it herself, Gao Qi might not believe it, a foolish and loyal person like him probably died in the hands of Shen Zhongbai, and he would not be enlightened.
"You still have to eat something, your lips are white."
Gao Qi has always disliked not caring about hot things, since Lou Mingyue doesn't let him do this, he is too lazy to meddle in this matter, but now Lou Mingyue's face does not look as good as usual, and after staying together for so many days, Gao Qi should at least care about it, not to mention that Gao Qi doesn't know what mistake Lou Mingyue made to provoke Shen Zhongbai now, and he can't say for sure about Shen Zhongbai's reduction of his title, in the future
What kind of thing will happen, so at this time, I don't dare to act rashly, if there is no big problem in the future, Lou Mingyue will definitely be the king of Leping County, and it is not worth it to offend him at this time.
"Let's put it down for now, I'll eat it myself later." Lou Mingyue didn't know what to say, so she simply didn't say it, since it was already like this, there was no need for him to leave any way back with the people in the palace, as long as he had the opportunity to escape, after that, he and the entire Leping County would definitely be inseparable from the palace, since this was the case, there was no need for him to say anything more to Gao Qi, since he had always wanted to be loyal to his emperor, then let him be loyal, anyway, in the end, I won't continue to live that kind of life that doesn't matter to me, after all, this time, Shen Zhongbai really provoked herself, and Gu Linjiang, who kindly helped her out of a big trouble, not only didn't thank herself, but even wanted to use the method of getting rid of Huang Hao to get rid of herself, and by the way, she got the military power of Leping County in her father's hands.
Gao Qi still couldn't defend against the futures, seeing that Lou Mingyue was in a bad condition now, and probably didn't have any thoughts of escaping, he arranged a few of his subordinates to take good care of him, and he returned to the place where the fire broke out near the study at that time.
To tell the truth, there is nothing to dye in this place, although the fire in this place is burned even bigger in the middle of these woods, but Gao Qi actually understands in his heart, if no one can light a fire, even if there is a little fire, it is impossible to ignite so many things at once.
Looking at the scorched marks around here, Gao Qi also began to worry in his heart, after all, you don't dare to always have a relationship with yourself in this matter, you don't care about anything at all, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
However, the arsonist didn't seem to have any deep hatred with anyone in the palace at all, he just lit a fire, and even directly chose to set this fire in a place where no one was, as if it was simply to attract some people's attention, which seemed to be a bit contrary to common sense.
"Was there anything strange going on anywhere else in the palace on the night of the fire here?" Although Gao Qi is a brocade guard, it doesn't mean that he can know all the things that happen up and down the palace, he should have been on duty at his own post, and there is really no way for him to know about things in other places, unless there is a big trouble.
I can't think of the little eunuch next to me, the news will be much better, these little eunuchs and little palace maids, they are idle every day, there is nothing to do, after doing the work in their hands, they will often get together to discuss what happened in their palace, if there is really something else happening at the same time on that day, then there may be some other clues.
The little eunuch turned his head seriously and thought for a while, "There is really no special thing, however, this matter may be related to your termination, that day in a courtyard wall of the palace, there was a little eunuch who didn't know what he had done, it seemed to be detained by Jinyiwei's people, but in the end, the little eunuch was actually just a person in the Niangniang Palace, in order to see the emperor, which concubine's courtyard he went to that night, Jinyiwei seemed to interrogate him for a long time, and in the end there was no result." ”
Although the little eunuch often listens to other people in the palace say some gossip in normal times, but this time after all, it is the commander of the Jinyi Guard who asked him, plus there is such a big thing, they don't dare to talk nonsense at this juncture, they don't dare to tell the truth, and they don't dare to say it, but that night, such a thing did happen in the palace, it stands to reason that Gao Qi in front of him is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he should know better than he knows, why did he come over and ask himself now?
"How can you be in charge of interrogation? Is there a trial in the end, which palace is the little eunuch, and will someone else haunt with him? Gao Qi believed that everything was not accidental, and since something like that would happen that night, someone must have planned it in advance.
Gao Qi also felt that it was strange in his heart, after all, he was also the commander of Jinyiwei, and no one had reported him if such a big thing happened.
After hearing this, the little eunuch shook his head helplessly, this matter was originally taken care of by Jin Yiwei, an outsider like him, at most, it was just hearsay, and he got so much news, as for what the situation of this matter was, he himself was not sure.
Gao Qi heard the little eunuch say this, and knew that he would definitely not be able to ask anything about him, it seemed that the rest of the matter, he had to personally ask the person in charge of this matter that night, Gao Qi didn't care too much, and no one reported this matter to him, maybe it was because there were too many things that happened that night, and the situation was too urgent, so they didn't have time to report this matter to themselves.
Gao Qi is relatively patient with these people under him, after all, he has been himself for so long, and they probably have no ill will towards him, but he doesn't know if this will be his own simple thoughts.
But now, except for the brocade guards who were present at the time, it seems that no one can really tell them the truth of that matter?
Even if they really have a problem with themselves? You'll have to ask yourself.
"Okay, I almost already know the situation of this matter, so I'll leave it to me to investigate, today I asked you about these drawings, in addition to you and me, I only hope that a third person knows, if I find out, you leak this matter to the outside world, you should know that it will
What kind of end. ”
At least at this stage, Gao Qi doesn't want more people to know about this now.
Because he has no way to determine now that the person who is doing this is a person from the palace, or an outsider? If you startle the snake now, you will make too much movement, and it will also bring some very inconvenient effects to your next investigation. After all, who can say clearly, will this matter be related to his Jinyi Guard?
Gao Qi will inevitably be a little confused now, after all, the impact of the fire that day was not very great, and Shen Zhongbai seems to be very resistant to this matter.
