Chapter 41 Discussion of the Merits
"Where is that cat now?" Bai Xiao asked.
Blue Baby shrugged and replied, "Bai Rou quietly sent the cat out of the palace the day after she learned that Shengcai had an accident. ”
"Where did she get her cat?" Jin Lingluo suddenly asked.
Lan Baobao thought about it seriously for a while, and then replied cautiously: "It was said that it was a wild cat that was accidentally picked up in the palace, and this gave birth to the idea of scaring Sheng Cairen." ”
Jin Lingluo and Bai Xiao glanced at each other, and he raised his hand to signal, "Go on." ”
The chamberlain Li Xia, sixteen years old, is a person from the Pearl Mirror Palace. He was transferred to serve after Shengcai was favored.
Shengcai people behaved meekly and virtuously in front of His Majesty, and they were decent and generous. In front of the concubines, they are exquisite, left and right, and generally rarely blush with others. Concubine Qi is an exception, after all, Shengcai is very proud by nature and has recently been favored, so it is naturally not easy for people to humiliate themselves so much.
As for how Shengcai people treat their subordinates?
According to Li Xia himself, Shengcai is a person with a sweet belly, who is very kind to everyone on the surface, but in fact, he has constant small actions and a strong sense of revenge.
Li Xia was scolded many times by the palace maids around Shengcai because of his clumsiness, and sometimes he even pinched him.
Shengcai didn't blame him on the surface, but privately Rick deducted all his money. He still has a seriously ill old mother waiting to be treated, and without the silver, his mother's illness will get worse and worse.
And because my father is disabled, he can't earn much copper plate every day, so it's good to be able to take care of food. If not, he would not send his only son to the palace as a chamberlain.
Li Xia hated Shangsheng because of this, but after all, he was young, brave and unplanned, and in the end, he only wanted to come up with a way to transfer out of the Pearl Mirror Palace.
But he had no connections, no money, and no one to care about.
There is also an inner servant, Fu Hai, who is twenty-three years old and works in the inner servant bureau. He once carried a sedan chair for Shengcai after he was favored.
He had old cold legs, and that day coincided with a rainy day, the old cold legs attacked, and his legs and feet were painful to walk, and he accidentally stumbled a little, startling the Shengcai people who were taking a nap in the sedan chair.
Shengcairen did not have a seizure at that time, but just reprimanded him lightly.
Fu Hai saw that this lady was so kind, and he was also very happy and grateful in his heart.
Who knows, when he returned to the Inner Servant Bureau that night, he was inexplicably beaten by the Inner Servant, and coupled with the attack of the old cold legs, he couldn't get out of bed for several days.
Fu Hai is not stupid, he thought about it and suspected that this should be instructed by Shengcai.
He also knew that he had indeed done something wrong, and even if he was angry, he did not dare to mention it again.
"Finally, there is the guard Fan Qilou, twenty-five years old, who is from the Yulin Army. This person is also an official in his family, and his father is from the six grades of the imperial history. Blue Baby said.
"This King Fan Yu Shi knows that he is upright, and I heard that the Fan family and the Pei family are distant relatives, and the two families often have contacts." Jin Lingluo said.
Lan Baobao nodded and continued: "Counting it up, Shengcai and Fan Qilou are cousins. When Shengcai was still a girl, Fan Qilou took a lot of care of her......"
Strictly speaking, they should be cousins of childhood sweethearts.
There were rumors in the palace that Su Pei's two families had married, and later because they wanted to send their daughter to the palace, this family affair became yellow.
It's just that Fan Qilou is not dead to Shengcairen, Rao is person has entered the palace, and he is still courteous to her.
Shengcai people knew that rumors were terrifying, and when they met Fan Qilou again, they made it clear to him that they wanted to draw a line, and they would be strangers in the palace in the future.
Fan Qilou also understood that Shengcai was already His Majesty's woman, and if he continued to entangle, not only would it bring disaster to the two of them, but also the Fan Pei family would not be spared. So he figured it out later and let it go completely. ”
After saying all the information, the blue baby lowered his head again, waiting for the other two to react.
"The five people have their own motivations, the strongest is Li Xia, who is concerned about human life, and he also has the convenience of committing crimes. It's just that the murder weapon has not been found so far, so it is not easy to do. Bai Xiao spoke first.
Jin Lingluo was silent for a moment and said, "Li Xia has to investigate carefully, and Bai Rou is related to the chess concubine, so you must investigate it deeply." ”
Bai Xiao clenched his fists and took his life.
After that, the two of them discussed the case again, and Lan Baobao's low neck hurt, and Jin Lingluo finally turned the topic to her.
still had such a smooth tone, and the voice was cold, "You come to cooperate with Bai Xiao to investigate the case clearly." ”
Suddenly being named and thrown over such a big burden, Lan Baobao couldn't help but breathe, although he couldn't figure out why King Ling wanted her to join the investigation, but the most important thing was to seize the opportunity first.
"The villain takes the order."
said that he was cooperating with Bai Xiao to handle the case, but in fact, he just asked her to go over and do it.
For the time being, they have targeted the five suspects and are investigating them further.
And the blue baby was sent by Bai Xiao to find the murder weapon.
Bai Xiao believes that the murder weapon is likely to be hidden in a corner of the palace, and may even be thrown into the water.
There are countless large and small ponds and lotus ponds in the palace, and there is no way to salvage them one by one.
In the end, Bai Xiao targeted the Taiye Pool, because Feng Ai's body was found there.
It's just that the liquid pool is very large, and trying to salvage the murder weapon from it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Bai Xiao circled a few ranges for the blue baby and asked her to find someone to salvage it first.
Of course, Taiye Pool is only one of the targets, and several other palaces are also circled by Bai Xiao, allowing Blue Baby to find a way to secretly search by himself.
Blue Baby felt that this was almost impossible to accomplish, not to mention the liquid pool, she would not be able to enter only one Ayaki Palace.
That is the residence of the chess concubine, and now the chess concubine is pregnant and even more expensive, she has no evidence in her hands, how dare she search the courtyard of the palace concubine.
This Bai Xiao is simply giving her a problem and deliberately embarrassing her.
If only Feng Wei was here, he would definitely help her.
I don't know where he went, so when he asked Bai Xiao, he only replied with two words: "Do things." ”
If he asked deeply, he would just throw his face and ignore people.
Blue Baby knew that this person didn't like him, and he was no longer bored with himself, so he went back to find a way to find the murder weapon.
This matter is really difficult to do, she has no rights in her hands, and she has no manpower, this is both the Taiye Pool and the concubine's palace, which is not easy to do.
After thinking about it, two people suddenly popped up in my mind.
It was the last time she was whipped, the two chamberlains who sent her back.
They are of high rank and have great authority, and they should be able to help.
It's just that now that she and her stepfather have "fallen out", others are eager to keep their distance from her, and it is unknown whether the two are willing to help her.
Her father-in-law had warned her that she could not avoid going in and out of the Inner Servant Province in the future, so she could only take the silver and ask someone to send a letter to her.
