Chapter 120: Duty
"I've heard a little."
"Recently, because of the one who has died, and the palace maid in the imperial dining room, the palace maids of the entire palace are panicking, for fear that such an unfortunate thing will happen to them next, as the master of the harem, I naturally have to consider it for them, and it is safest to find out the villain as soon as possible. ”
Seeing that Fei Ranchu's face had become so serious, Zhao Yufeng no longer played the kind of temper trick with her, but revealed his truest emotions.
Now his expression was not so much anger and anger as helplessness and a hint of worry.
He knew that Fei Ran had a lot of fun at the beginning, so he didn't interfere too much where he usually went to play, and sometimes he turned a blind eye, but today this time was extraordinary.
"Have you ever thought that the barracks are full of trained men, and their swords are not long-sighted, what if you are accidentally injured because of this?"
Seeing his tone soften, Fei Ranchu's heart felt even more uncomfortable.
The thing you need to do is not counted, but it is not counted, and it is not counted.
In the end, she just sighed and muttered a low word.
"There's a dark moon."
In the end, Zhao Yufeng was still not willing to punish Fei Ranchu, but after saying a few words, he did not continue the topic.
And Fei Ran Chu was preoccupied all day.
The young man who had been brought from the barracks had already treated the wound on his forehead, and he was supposed to let Dark Moon send him back, but when he was leaving, Fei Ranchu suddenly saw that a piece of his clothes seemed to be missing, as if someone had deliberately cut it off with scissors.
"Wait!"
Fira stopped him, then quickly walked over to him, bending down and lifting the back of his clothes.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Mother's forgiveness!"
This little guard was very timid, no matter what Fei Ran Chu asked, he just knelt on the ground and cried and shouted that Niang Niang forgave his sins, and he couldn't ask any useful information at all.
After giving Dark Moon a look, Dark Moon nodded knowingly, and dragged the guard from the ground like a little chicken, forcing him to look at Fei Ranchu's expression.
After seeing that the queen mother's face was not too angry, he was relieved and relaxed slightly, but his legs were still shaking, and as soon as Dark Moon let go, he immediately fell down.
As a last resort, Darkmoon could only press him to the side of the stool.
"Answer Motomiya, what's the matter with your clothes?"
"Back to ...... Back to my mother, nothing happened. ”
His voice was as small as a mosquito, and if he hadn't asked him in this quiet environment, he wouldn't have been able to hear a word clearly.
"Mother, ask you, be honest!" Xicui followed Fei Ranchu and suddenly clapped her hands on the table as she spoke, trying to scare him.
But what Xicui didn't know was that this state was already his most peaceful state, and he cried directly when he was so frightened by her.
"Woo woo, mother's life! If the minions say it, they will definitely be beaten! ”
As soon as the words fell, he was hit by the back of the dark moon's head.
"What minions?! You are a guard in the palace, and you have to call yourself a subordinate! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Subordinate! ”
Fei Ran didn't see much hope at first, waved her hand, and directly asked Dark Moon to send people away, and when she left, she whispered a word in Dark Moon's ear, saying that she should keep an eye on this timid guard.
Darkmoon nodded, and led the people out.
After the two of them left, Xicui asked curiously on the side.
"What did the mother just say?"
"It's nothing, it's just to make Dark Moon look favorably on that person."
"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that this person is so timid and cautious, and there are bruises on the corners of his mouth that have not dissipated, when Dark Moon touched him, his expression seemed to be very painful, there must be other scars on his body, a character like him should be the most vulnerable to violence, how can he be a suspicious person?"
Xicui looked at his back and said in a deep voice.
However, her words attracted Fei Ranchu's attention.
Fei Ranchu reached out and touched Xi Cui's head with some amusement.
"Yo, that's good, my little Cuicui, do you know how to analyze it now?"
Seeing her mother teasing herself like a hooligan, Xicui's face did not change her color and her heart did not beat, and she said calmly.
"The slave just said what she saw, obviously what the mother saw was not the same as the slave, the slave was a little curious, so she wanted to ask."
Seeing that Xicui was so curious, she asked again, and Fei Ranchu no longer laughed with her, but put away her hand, put it behind her back, and said with an unfathomable face.
"Now that your observation ability has improved, then you might as well take another look, and think about why this palace made such a decision."
Fei Ran looked at the piece of cloth in his hand, and then looked in the direction of departure.
There was no Dark Moon and the guard there, but Fei Ranchu refused to look away for a long time, as if there was something over there that made her curious.
After she was silent for a long time, she suddenly said as if she was endlessly emotional.
"You say...... Who is the perpetrator for the time being, let's not investigate it first, why did the real culprit behind it cut off the hair of the two women? ”
"I don't know." Xicui shook her head decisively, "Isn't it just to find out the purpose of the murderer who committed the murder?" Now if you directly think of his purpose, then you don't need to find the murderer. ”
These two lines are originally contradictory, and it is precisely because it is too difficult to find the real culprit behind them for the clues they currently have, so they want to find a shortcut to find the perpetrator directly, and then force them to find out the whereabouts of the person behind it.
"I ask you!" Fei Ranchu turned around abruptly, and saw that there was a sharp light dancing faintly in Xicui's eyes.
"Why do you need hair?"
Xicui seemed to be amused by the question, forced the smile on her face, touched her hair, and after thinking about it, came up with a more normal answer.
"Because the slave needs to pull her hair in a bun!"
"Smack!" Fei Ranchu's hand suddenly snapped her fingers in front of Xi Cui, startling her.
"That's right, it's because there is a need that we have to find it, and what this person needs often confirms their thirst, we can start from this aspect!"
Xicui nodded as if she didn't understand, and after thinking for a while, she came to a conclusion.
"Niangniang, isn't it possible that the person behind it is a bald man?!"
Fei Ranchu: "...... Since he was a smart man, he wouldn't expose himself too obviously, and his hair must have had other uses for him. ”
As he was talking, someone from the Internal Affairs Office suddenly brought over a few boxes of things, saying that they were rewards.
Fei Ran was not interested in these things, so she asked Xicui to pick a few of them herself, and threw the rest into the storeroom.
