Chapter 179: Scandal
Participated in the search on the spot and saw more than one person, so he could not hide it, so he could only hand over what he found to the eunuch in charge. These items can only be owned by the concubines in the palace, and the rewards of each palace are recorded and checked, and it was soon found that this item belonged to Concubine Xiao Min, the biological mother of the fourth son of the emperor.
Ordinary palace maids are lucky enough to pick up the valuables of the concubines, and they usually get a reward when they return them, and if they are lucky, they can also get the master's blue eyes and be promoted. On the contrary, it is very unwise to be self-conscious, and once it is found that he has been beaten to death for theft.
Things were abnormal, and the palace guards also paid attention to it, and sent more people to search, and soon someone found the body of the missing palace maid tied to the stone and sunk in the pond. She was tied up strongly, but the shoes under her feet floated up and tripped in the dry grass by the pond and was found. The body was recovered, and it was found that it was strangled to death. The murderer must be a strong and powerful man!
The palace maid's hand has traces of being forcibly broken, it should be that something was taken away! The investigating eunuch and the leader of the Janissaries linked the suspicious points they found and secretly monitored Concubine Xiao Min. A few days later, I found out that she pretended to be a palace maid and had a private meeting with someone!
In the small garden behind the palace of the Great Palace, there is a corner gate, from where the palace people used to pass by. After His Highness moved out, it was sparsely populated, and it should have been locked, but at some point, the lock was opened, and only the iron chain was perfunctory hanging on it to make a appearance.
The matter was immediately clear, and even without interrogation, the eunuch in charge could guess about it. It must have been the palace maid who unintentionally bumped into Concubine Xiao Min and the guards for a private meeting, and picked up the missing Concubine Min's earrings, and took them for extortion without knowing whether they were alive or dead, but they were killed by the guards. Unexpectedly, the palace maid left a hand, and the earrings were not on her body, so the guards could only throw the corpse first and then make plans, but she didn't expect the corpse to be found so quickly, the two panicked, and were ready to meet to discuss, so they were arrested.
The human and physical evidence were handed over, and Wang Jun was furious, but after all, it was a scandal, and it was not easy to try it with great fanfare. Concubine Xiao Min can only be handed over to the queen for interrogation, and the guards are handed over to the eunuchs to toss with them, as long as they can confess truthfully.
The murder of the palace maid can't be hidden, even if others don't know, Meng Ning, as one of the deputy commanders and Wang Jun's confidant, can't stay out of the matter no matter what. Concubine Xiao Min was imprisoned for no reason, and her mother's family couldn't sit still, so she went straight to Meng Xiang's side, thinking that he could know some news. Meng Xiangye couldn't interject in such a secretive matter in the inner palace, so he could only hint at Meng Ning and ask him to inquire about some news. However, he also knows that this kind of thing will not have a good result if it is touched, and the best result is to die to save a small person inside and a large family outside.
The commander who took down Concubine Xiao Min on the spot that day had a good relationship with Meng Ning, and in the officialdom, there was no life-and-death feud and there was no need to do anything wrong, he accepted the silver ticket that Meng Ning secretly handed to his sleeve, and said in a low voice: "This matter is a little too smooth, to be honest, my brother is a little bottomless." If I had been in charge, I wouldn't have killed people before we could find the evidence. Even if he misses and kills someone, he will definitely not dare to meet his old lover privately in a short period of time, is this kid dizzy? ”
Meng Ning nodded: "Thank you, if you have something useful in the future, just ask." ”
The commander smiled, and the stack of tickets in his hand was very thick, but it was easy to get it.
The uneasiness in Meng Ning's heart fell with the dust of the other party's affirmation, he thanked this person, and thought about it all the way along the way, did the person who was waiting to peep in the dark arrange all the chess pieces at the beginning, or was it just because of the situation, adding fuel and vinegar?
There are thousands of thoughts in his heart, and his footsteps have taken him to the place he subconsciously wants to go to the most, and the palace of He Lai is in front of him.
"Girl, please ask Aunt Wulan to come out and talk about it."
"Master Meng later."
After a while, Ying Xuan walked out with dignified steps, smiling and bowing: "Commander Meng, what's the matter?" ”
"Auntie, please."
After the two walked out for dozens of steps, they stood opposite each other, Meng Ning was obviously taller than Ying, and their eyes were facing each other, but they always had a feeling of being suppressed by the other party. "Did you do it?"
Eagle: "What do you mean?" ”
"What else can I do, Concubine Xiao Min ......" Meng Ning was speechless, and the words "tong" and "adultery" were a little unspeakable.
Ying smiled: "What are you kidding, the two of them have already colluded, and I didn't make a match, what do you mean by asking me to ask the guilt?" ”
Meng Ning: "It's not that Xingshi asks for guilt. So this thing does concern you, doesn't it? ”
"That's right."
"He came to me, she asked me if you have experienced something outside, she thinks you have changed a lot, and she is a little worried about you."
"Thanks, I'm fine."
"But what you've done has made her more and more uneasy."
Ying Xuan sneered: "But just knocked down a king chain, what's uneasy." Wang Jun has a large group of children, and some are busy. ”
Meng Ning gasped: "I thought that you would only do it to adults, and the Fourth Highness is still young." ”
"He is already more than ten years old, and it won't take a few years to grow up, maybe Wang Jun will be able to survive until then. This is a variable, and it is better to deal with it as soon as possible. And with such a stain on his biological mother, he is safe. ”
Meng Ning's eyes widened, sending people into a situation of no return, can it be explained like this?
"Why do you look at me with such innocent eyes," Ying Xuan sneered, "You forgot that we are complicit." ”
"I didn't promise you to do these things!"
"You're willing to help you take power, that's right." Ying Xuan said a little funny, "Everyone wants to seize power, so naturally they will do everything, if you wait there and do nothing, will the opponent obediently admit defeat?" Commander Meng, you don't dream about it, do you? ”
Meng Ning......
"Do you want to say that my methods are despicable, even such unbearable methods can be used, and even a child is involved?"
……
"They are the ones who did the terrible thing, and I just exposed it. And that child was affected by his mother. ”
"What have you done, there will always be some loopholes left in it, if possible, I will help you round it up." Meng Ning forced himself to calm down. He had to think calmly, she was right, although the process was a little off, the purpose was the same.
"The two of them had a tryst more than once in Wang Qi's territory, and the palace maid was led by me, but she didn't know it. I stole the earrings and put them there, the woman was too stupid, thinking that she had taken someone's death hole, but unexpectedly, this guard was so bold that she refused to be coerced by her at all, and wanted to scare her so that she knew that it was powerful, but she didn't think that she had more strength, and the person died. I had to throw the body first, and then slowly try to find physical evidence, but I had already found that thing and hid it in another place. ”
