Yin Xuan was disturbed, his face was extremely ugly, he got up in silence and got dressed, and when he came out, Tuoba Mingyan hurriedly got dressed and went out with him.

After coming out, Suihai also came, Yin Xuan asked what was the matter, Suihai glanced at Tuoba Mingyan, bowed his head and said, "There is a eunuch who died, and it looks like he was killed." ”

When Yin Xuan heard this, murderous aura immediately burst out in his eyes.

Originally, it was a very normal thing to die, people were born and died, some died naturally, some died accidentally, and no matter what kind of death it was, it should be regarded as an ordinary thing, but this ordinary thing is placed today, it is not ordinary, some people dare to kill people in the palace, and dare to stay in the palace of Ming Guifei in the harem of the favored crown, and when the emperor stays overnight.

This is either a fight for Concubine Ming, or a fight for the emperor.

And looking at the entire former dynasty and harem, who dares to do so blatantly?

There is only one person who dares to do it, can do it, and can do it.

That's the Queen.

And today, Concubine Ming has a conflict with the queen, and the queen has been punished by the emperor, and it is inevitable that she will be resentful.

Yin Xuan squinted slightly, looked up at the night outside the house, sneered, walked out, and as soon as he walked to the door, Li Donglou came, Yin Xuan asked him, "See the dead body?" ”

Li Donglou said: "I saw it." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Take me with me." ”

Li Donglou was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to go over in person, the death of a eunuch was not enough for the emperor to condescend to the noble, but the afterglow swept to the Ming Guifei next to him, Li Donglou took it for granted, but everything related to Ming Guifei, the emperor would be particularly concerned.

Moreover, the emperor is not a gentleman raised in a greenhouse, but a murderer who once fought with the queen mother in the north and south, swept away many small countries, and was a person brought up by the queen mother.

Li Donglou sighed and led the way in front.

There is only one sprinkle eunuch outside the door of the Yanxia Palace, named Wu Ping, Wu Ping's working hours are daytime, and at night he will call it a day and go back to the next room, either play dice with the people who play well, make a little money, or lose a little money, or sleep on a pillow alone, or inquire about gossip with the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs, and eat some melon seeds, which is the usual living state of the people in the palace nowadays.

Today, Wu Ping, as usual, had dinner after going back, and played with the other two eunuchs who often played dice for a while, and when he saw that it was dark, he went back to sleep with the money.

But at this moment, he was not in his room, but outside, his body was lying around, his eyes were wide open, staring in a certain direction, there were very clear knife marks on his neck, blood was coming out, probably not blind, so he looked very scary.

There were a lot of palace maids and eunuchs around, pointing and whispering, among these eunuchs and palace maids, Pang Lin frowned slightly, and had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Today he had a verbal conflict with Wu Ping, and there was also a fist and foot fight, not for anything else, just for a medicinal herb.

Usually he doesn't have much intersection with Wu Ping, but because Wu Ping is a eunuch who sweeps the outside of the Yanxia Palace, as long as he goes out, he will meet him, so he will say hello, and occasionally stand together to chat, probably because he is at the door, he often follows up the people who come in and out to greet him with a smile, Wu Ping's temper is very good, he is the kind of person who will inevitably laugh as soon as he speaks, and it is very comfortable to chat with him, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

If it weren't for that herb, he wouldn't have been in a hurry with him.

But at the time, he didn't grab the herb.

Although he wanted to repay Concubine Ming, he also wanted to make Concubine Ming happy, and he also wanted to ask for money, but Wu Ping seemed to know the herb, and he protected it very tightly, he couldn't grab it, and at the gate of Yanxia Palace, he was afraid that someone would come at any time, so he didn't dare to be blatant, so he didn't make too much of a move.

When Wu Ping finished work, he looked for him again during the time period after eating and playing dice, and originally wanted to get the herb from him in a friendly manner, but he just didn't give it, and he started with him in a fit of anger.

It's just that he was seen by the palace maids and eunuchs passing by, and someone came to call Wu Ping to play dice, so he didn't tell him about it again and went back.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ping died in a blink of an eye.

Pang Lin always felt that this thing was strange, his eyelids jumped suddenly, he stood in the crowd, looking at Wu Ping's death, he couldn't say anything wrong, he always felt that something was wrong, and before he thought about it, the emperor brought someone over, everyone knelt down, and Pang Lin quickly knelt down.

Yin Xuanjing walked to the corpse, followed by Tuoba Mingyan.

Zhang Kan had already led the Praetorian Guards to search every corner of the Yanxia Temple to see if there were any suspicious people.

Li Donglou loyally followed behind Yin Xuan, and he did not fall behind with the sea.

Yin Xuan looked at Wu Ping's corpse and asked Li Donglou, "The corpse has not been moved?" ”

Li Donglou said: "No." ”

Yin Xuan asked, "Who discovered it first?" ”

Li Donglou said: "A palace maid." ”

As he spoke, he asked the palace maid to step forward, and Yin Xuan asked the palace maid, "When did you find out?" ”

The palace maid knelt there, knocked her head on the ground, and replied tremblingly: "When the rooster crowed, the slave and maid came out to relieve themselves, because they ran in a hurry, they didn't look at the ground, and after they fell down at once, they found that they had stepped on a person, and when they looked at the moonlight, they were dead." ”

Yin Xuan said: "Are you sure that you stepped on a dead person at that time, not a living person?" ”

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and after hearing that Yin Xuan was suspecting that she might be a murderer, she hurriedly clarified: "Your Majesty, the slave swore by her life, and it was indeed a dead person who stepped on it at that time." ”

Yin Xuan gave Li Donglou a look, Li Donglou beckoned, called a janitorial door, and took the palace maid away.

The palace maid shouted that she had been wronged, and that shouting made all the people who were crawling on the ground tremble, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Tuoba Ming said: "The palace maid is innocent, why do you want to arrest her?" ”

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you know that she is innocent?" ”

Tuoba Mingyan blinked and said, "She swore by her life, is it still fake?" ”

Yin Xuan tilted his head, glanced at her indifferently, pursed his thin lips, and said: "If it's true, lock her up to protect her, if it's false, you don't have to bother to arrest people again, and when the truth is found out, it really proves that what she said is true and has nothing to do with this matter, I will definitely let her come back safely." ”

Tuoba Mingyan has nothing to say.

Yin Xuan asked Li Donglou to call out all the eunuchs and palace maids in the lower courtyard, and asked one by one what Wu Ping had done today, who he had come into contact with, and whether he had quarrels and fights with others, etc., as a result, six or seven people testified that they had seen Pang Lin and Wu Ping have a quarrel, and there were fists and feet, and Pang Lin was immediately escorted to Yin Xuan by Li Donglou.
