Chapter 593: Murder
Gao Gonggong's face changed instantly, and he glared at Qian Qianqian fiercely, as if he was very annoyed, if it wasn't for the bad attack in this palace, he was afraid that he would not spare Qian Qianqian.
"Imperial Doctor Qian, the palace is important, you can't talk nonsense, if this word spreads, you will lose your head, even if you have the support of the General's Mansion, don't be too arrogant."
Gao Gonggong didn't have a good air, his brows were tightly locked, his face was very ugly, and his eyes were gloomy.
"There's no one else here, I'm just joking with you, you take it seriously, I have the support of the General's Mansion, but you have the support of the emperor, and the emperor can't do without you."
Qian Qianqian smiled brighter and brighter, and gave Gao Gonggong a look, without restraining at all, the more Gao Gonggong wanted to be low-key, the more she had to put the high hat on Gao Gonggong's head to see how long he could bear it.
"You are serious, there are so many servants in this palace, even if there is no me, there are still others to serve, the emperor just took pity on me and kept me by his side."
Gao Gonggong took the medicinal materials in Qian Qianqian's hand, his eyes seemed to be moist, and after speaking, he raised his feet and went out to decoct the medicine, and no longer paid attention to Qian Qianqian.
In the past few days, Qian Qianqian and Gao Gonggong have been getting along almost day and night, so they also have a little understanding of Gao Gonggong's personality, this Gao Gonggong has been working as an errand in the Yangxin Palace, his popularity is good, and his reputation among the palace people is also good, and he is definitely highly respected.
From this point of view, Gao Gonggong can be regarded as flawless, except that he is not a normal man on his body, his words and deeds are impeccable, no wonder he can mix with the general manager of Ouchi.
But Qian Qianqian never believed that there could be such a perfect person in this palace, the more perfect she was outside, the more filthy feces she hid in her heart.
"This father-in-law Gao is not just an old fox, he is simply a fine, I sent someone to follow him secretly, he can be thrown off every time unconscious, so that we can't catch the slightest handle, I was only suspicious at first, but now I am more sure."
At night, Shao Huaigu went to the General's Mansion, Qian Qianqian also went out of the palace, and the little emperor was guarded by Jiang Sheng, and it was inconvenient for her to be a woman there, so Jiang Sheng called her back.
"If you don't take advantage of the emperor's illness now and arrest him, I don't believe that at that time, he will still be hard-mouthed."
Qian Qianqian thought about it in her heart, and felt that since it was soft, it would be hard, anyway, now that Shao Huaigu has the final say in the palace, it is not easy to catch a eunuch.
"No, if Gonggong Gao is just an ordinary little eunuch, he is a popular person next to the little emperor, the chief of the inner house, if he arrests him without evidence, it will definitely arouse suspicion in the palace, and when the emperor's body is well, we will not be able to explain it when we ask about it."
Shao Huaigu quickly refused, if he could come hard, he would have come a long time ago, and he would not wait until now, Gonggong Gao is now considered a high position in the palace, but he can't move him without permission.
"So what can we do? If he keeps standing still, we won't be able to catch him, and I don't see any signs of disguise from him, so are we going to keep suffocating and being led by the nose by him? ”
Qian Qianqian was also very upset in her heart, she had used all kinds of tricks in the past few days, agitated methods, touted hints, and tried them all, but Gao Gonggong just didn't get in the oil and salt, so she really couldn't help it.
"The palace gate has been guarded by Ling Zi'an, the jade seal should still be in the palace, as long as the jade seal has not flowed out, we will have a chance, so there is no need to rush, the more we can't hold our breath, the cheaper the villain will be, you should know the stakes."
Shao Huaigu was calm, his face was not shocked, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, but in fact, he didn't relax at all.
"Okay, I listen to you, I didn't expect this Gao Gonggong to be so difficult to deal with, it seems that I underestimated him before, since the opponent is so strong, we must also work together."
Qian Qianqian nodded slightly, and at the same time reminded Shao Huaigu, at this time, they can't fight among themselves, Shao Huaigu is the right minister, and he must know how to weigh the pros and cons in his heart.
"Don't worry, I will definitely have the same heart with you, I don't care about the previous quarrel, I'm not such a stingy person, but you must not guard against me, if there is something, you will definitely discuss with me."
Shao Huaigu knows Qian Qianqian's temperament, so he is still a little worried, Qian Qianqian is in the palace all day, if she finds something, she will inevitably be unable to hold it, and if she startles the snake at that time, it will not be good.
"I understand that I won't act rashly, but I want to see how Grandpa Gao buys people's hearts."
Qian Qianqian was very interested, the longer she dealt with Gao Gonggong, the more she felt that this person was not simple, it was not easy to manage the reputation in the palace so well, and she also wanted to learn from it.
The hour was not early, Shao Huaigu didn't stay long, and soon left the general's mansion, Qian Qianqian fell asleep and rested, but she couldn't sleep at all, just opened her eyes, stared up, her mind was clear but confused, she didn't feel sleepy, but she didn't have a clue.
On the second day, she was about to go to the Tai Hospital, and Xue Yi ran in in a panic, panting and pale, as if something big had happened.
"What's wrong with you? Frizzy, it's not like you. ”
Qian Qianqian inserted a silver hairpin, and saw Xue Yi running sweaty, she couldn't help frowning, and she was also puzzled.
"Miss Qian, something is wrong, that fine work, dead."
Xue Yi walked to Qian Qianqian's side and lowered her voice, as soon as these words came out, Qian Qianqian's face changed instantly.
"What?" Qian Qianqian turned her head, got up suddenly, raised her feet and rushed out, and walked to the cell, Na Xiaozuo was indeed dead, his body was stiff, and it seemed that he had been dead for many hours.
Qian Qianqian stepped forward to conduct an autopsy, and looked at this fine work, her face was black, her lips and eyelids were also black, and she was poisoned to death at first glance, and there was a small silver needle on her neck, which had an abnormal luster, and it seemed to be quenched poison.
"How do you guard it? I can't even keep a stupid person, how can I expect you in the future? ”
Qian Qianqian was angry, she originally wanted to find clues from this fine work, but now this fine work is dead, there is no proof of death, how else can she find it?
"The subordinates should be damned, they are incompetent subordinates, and they are punished by the girl."
The guards standing behind them knelt down one after another, their faces full of self-reproach, but what was the use of punishing them now? Everyone is dead, and even if they are all buried together, they will not be saved.
"This place is airtight and heavily guarded, who has such a great ability to come and go without a trace?"
Qian Qianqian stood up, her brows twisted into a dead knot, Xue Yi had interrogated these guards just now, but they didn't know anything about it, and they didn't even hear the slightest disturbance, which was really confusing.
"The subordinates have been carefully guarding, this fine work has been very quiet in the past few days, and the subordinates haven't paid much attention to it, who knows that he came in this morning to bring him breakfast, but he died suddenly."
Those guards couldn't say it at all, this matter was really strange, it just happened out of thin air, either the murderer's martial arts were too high, or there were ghosts in this general's mansion.
The small wooden window on the top has been sealed, and even a little light can't penetrate it, to say that this silver needle can fly in through the wooden window, and then accurately pierce the neck of this fine work, Qian Qianqian didn't believe it, but in this case, how did this needle fly in?
"Carry his body out first, and then invite Master Shao over."
Qian Qianqian instructed Xue Yi, originally she wanted to find Jiang Sheng, but Jiang Sheng was now serving the emperor and couldn't leave the palace, so she gave up.
"Yes."
Xue Yi bowed slightly, and immediately did so, and the body of this fine work was placed in an empty room in the middle of the house, guarded by several guards, and was not cremated immediately.
"It's incredible that someone can sneak into the General's Mansion to kill people, there are so many officials outside, and there are many guards in this mansion, who can have such ability?"
Shao Huaigu rushed here, and when he learned about this, he was also surprised, now in the entire Xiao Kingdom, except for the palace, this general's mansion is the most heavily guarded place, if that person can kill people in the general's mansion, wouldn't he be able to walk freely in the palace?
"This is also something I have never figured out, if that person has such great ability, our opponent is not an ordinary person, maybe one day, you and I will also die at his hands."
Qian Qianqian pondered in her heart, suddenly raised her eyes, and said categorically, this is by no means alarmist, but something she is sure in her heart, she will not be blindly optimistic.
"Otherwise, you should stop living in this general's mansion and move to the right minister's mansion, and my people can protect you closely."
Shao Huaigu also felt that this matter was very likely to happen, and he didn't want Qian Qianqian to be in danger, so he made a proposal.
"No, the General's Mansion is General Xiao's home, I'm going to guard him here, I want to see who is behind it."
Qian Qianqian is also a stubborn character, she is always like this, she refuses to admit defeat, unless that person does nothing and kills her, otherwise she will fight to the end.
"Okay, if you don't want to, forget it, I will send more people to guard the General's Mansion, and you have to be more careful on weekdays."
Shao Huaigu knew that Qian Qianqian would probably not agree, and as he expected, this was also Qian Qianqian's character, so he was not surprised at all.
"I've already examined this fine corpse, and it's not a strange and rare poison, it's the arsenic frost that is common outside, the poison is fast and poisonous, so he can't even struggle."
Qian Qianqian's words changed and mentioned this, in addition to the common poison, this silver needle is also very ordinary, it is the embroidery needle used by women outside to do women's red work, which can basically be seen everywhere, and there is no need to investigate at all.
"It seems that the man is deliberately making it impossible for us to find out, and we can't find the object of suspicion, and now we are in the light, he is in the dark, and before we know it, we will be in a passive place."
Although Shao Huaigu is a civil official and is not good at investigating cases, he can still see such an obvious thing.
"Yes, we are now led to a dead end by him, and we can either go back the way we came, or we can only be trapped here and die here, and finally become his hand."
Qian Qianqian sneered, with a bit of self-deprecation on her face, although she said it easily, there was always a little sadness in her eyes.
