Chapter 120: The Vortex (2)

Seeing him like this, Gui Mingyue was also infected, swept away the despair and decadence of the past few days, and recounted the process of this matter in detail from beginning to end.

"Wait, you said, the jewelry was made before January and handed over to Wu Shanggong?" Ji Yunyi asked suddenly.

"Yes" Every time the jewelry is finished, it is handed over to Wu Shanggong, and she will make arrangements.

"Is the same with the cloak made by Shan Si?" Ji Yunyi asked.

"But so." Shan Si pulled her head to respond, it is impossible for Lord Shanggong to do it, she is cautious and cautious, and she has no big grudge against Wang Guifei.

This is Wu Shanggong, who has been silent, suddenly opened his eyes and said as if he remembered something: "I remembered!" ”

"What?" Shan Si System and Xing Zhangzhen couldn't hide their anticipation, and said, "Lord Shanggong, what do you think of, hurry up and tell Lord Ji." "There are people in the prison who say they will save them, so everyone doesn't want to grasp this life-saving straw.

Wu Shanggong said: "You should also know that our six Shang, Shang Gong, palm Xuan Xuan; Shang Yi, palm ceremonial rhythm; Eat yet, eat with your palm and taste it first; Shangfu, the treasure of the palm service chapter; Shang sleeping, holding the curtain tent mattress; And we are still working, and we are in charge of building a hundred servants. The six Shang also respect the Shang Palace, each in charge of its own government, and take charge of the government. ”

Everyone nodded, waiting for Wu Shanggong to continue.

"And our tailoring and hairpins in the Shanggong Bureau are treasures, if they are not used urgently, they must be handed over to the Shangfu Bureau for preservation first. The costumes for this autumn festival were all handed over by Wang Guifei a few months ago, so before January, my Shanggong Bureau handed over the cloak and other clothes to the Shangfu Bureau. Wu Shanggong finished in one breath.

"In this case, it is very likely that the blood of the wolf cub on this cloak came from the Shangfu Bureau!" Gui Mingyue suddenly realized.

"Lord Shanggong, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Xing Zhangzhen said anxiously.

Wu Shanggong was ashamed and said: "Everyone is accustomed to this routine, and they haven't been able to react for a while." Moreover, Cao Shangfu of this Shangfu Bureau is an upright person and has a very good relationship with me, and I will never go to her with suspicion. and her relationship with Concubine Xian Niangniang......" said that he was even more uneasy in his heart, don't climb this matter to Concubine Xian Niangniang and the second prince.

"Concubine Xian?" Xing Zhangzhen was about to pursue the question, but Gui Mingyue immediately stopped her and whispered, "Be careful that the wall has ears." ”

"When handing over these to the Shangfu Bureau, are there any witnesses?" Ji Yunyi asked again.

"Yes, every time it is handed over, it is inspected by the head of internal affairs, Yang Gonggong, before it can be kept by the Shangfu Bureau." Wu Shanggong said.

Gonggong Yang is from the queen's side.

Gui Mingyue frowned, this matter is getting more and more tricky.

Ji Yunyi's face was serious, this matter was not a simple case of a hungry wolf hurting people at the beginning, but now it seems to be like a whirlpool, and more and more people are involved.

Now it seems that the cat over there is more greasy, after all, that cloak has been kept in the Shangfu Bureau for a month, and who has the opportunity to touch it during this period?

Presumably, Kaifeng Mansion will soon find out about the Shangfu Bureau, and he must first figure out the catty here, so as not to be made a raft for Mingyue or Concubine Xian Niangniang by someone who has a heart.

Now that the second prince doesn't want to be involved, he asked someone to assist Ji Yunyi to go to the Shangfu Bureau to investigate secretly, and Concubine Xian Niangniang also found Cao Shangfu to talk.

Cao Shangfu has been worried since the accident in the Dashang Gong Bureau, and now he doesn't dare to hide it anymore.

Putong knelt on the ground and cried: "Cousin, save me, I didn't know there was such a big mess." ”

"What the hell is going on?! You immediately bring me the truth. ”

"It's the gift of the second prince and the crown, there is a big banquet in the palace, and my Shangfu Bureau also set up a banquet, and I accidentally drank a few more glasses. On a whim, he opened the door to the treasury, and when he saw that the embroidery of the cloak was shining in the candlelight, he took a nap when he looked at it more closely, and his sleepiness came up. Cao Shangfu said truthfully.

"Just that? Then why should you be afraid? Concubine Xian looked at her with a fierce look in her eyes.

Cao Shangfu swallowed his saliva, and said stubbornly: "I'm afraid that when I opened the library door and took a nap that day, someone went in and soaked the blood of the young wolf into the cloak." At this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape the involvement, my cousin saved me. ”

"In that case, then you should immediately go back and thoroughly investigate all the suspicious people after the banquet." Concubine Xian ordered: "Remember, this matter, do not make a noise. ”

"Yes, sissy." Cao Shangfu went back with a sad face.

Two days later.

"Yunyi, what's wrong?" The second prince anxiously asked, in the past two days, the Kaifeng Mansion has tried this case day and night, first the cadres who participated in Qiu Zhuo, including the guards outside Wang Guifei's camp, and then the Shanggong Bureau, the eunuchs and palace maids who served Wang Guifei, and the cadres of the Shangfu Bureau will soon be discovered, and they will be escorted for trial, and the people behind the scenes will definitely have to take action.

If you don't find this person as soon as possible, I'm afraid you will end up dead without proof.

Ji Yunyi frowned and shook his head: "Still nothing, after the banquet that day, no one in the Shangfu Bureau acted abnormally." ”

"What about the other five Shang Shang outside of the Shangfu Bureau? Is it possible that they are involved? The second prince asked.

"It's almost impossible, the Shangfu Bureau is in charge of the preservation, and the items in the palace are extremely valuable, and the palace ban of the Shangfu Bureau is particularly strict, if people from other places go in, it will be obviously eye-catching." Ji Yunyi said, but there is also a hint of drumming in his heart, there is no absolute, if it is really done by other five masters, then to find this person, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

At night, Ji Yunyi went to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion again, and told Gui Mingyue about the events of the past few days, Gui Mingyue listened quietly, and asked a few questions from time to time. But in the end, neither of them could find a loophole.

"Can you bring Cao Shangfu with you? I want to know the delicate events of the night she was drunk. "Gui Mingyue Yang Dao, this Cao Shangfu is obviously still the key to the matter, she drank too much that day, and she missed any important details from time to time, it's hard to say.

"Okay, I'll bring her tonight." Ji Yunyi promised.

Along with them was Lord Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, who was dressed in private clothes.

"You need to find this villain as soon as possible, there is already pressure from above, and your time is short." Lord Fu Yin also traveled secretly this time, and he knew that this case might involve Dao party disputes, and even the second prince with the highest voice among the Dao courtiers, so he never dared or wanted to act rashly.

"Lord Shangfu, can you tell me more about the banquet that day?" Gui Mingyue asked Cao Shangfu.

Cao Shangfu has recounted this matter many times in front of different people, but she is still quite clear, and she still doesn't dare to slack off, this is a major matter related to the head, and it is said that it is impossible to be careless thousands of times.

"On that day, I still have a banquet ...... the Bureau"

Gui Mingyue listened quietly until she said that she was attracted by the cloak, Gui Mingyue suddenly interrupted and asked, "The embroidery on that cloak, you said that what you saw was water and shiny, are you sure?" ”

Cao Shangfu nodded affirmatively, saying yes, although she was a little drunk that time, she still remembers the luster of the embroidery on the cloak.

Gui Mingyue turned her head and asked Xiang Shan Si System: "The cloak's group flower embroidery uses gold thread or feather thread?" ”

Shan Si immediately shook his head and said, "No, because the cloak itself is made of light gold, and it is carved silk ochre thread for embroidery. ”

The peony flower embroidery is absolutely impossible to exude water and luster! Unless......

"That is to say, before Cao Shangfu went to the treasure house, this cloak was soaked in wolf blood, and at this time, the wolf blood had not dried, so under the candle flame, there would be a watery luster." Ji Yunyi reacted immediately and said eagerly.

It turned out that this cloak Cao Shangfu was manipulated before he fell asleep drunk, and they were all investigating suspicious people after falling asleep, which seemed to be completely wrong.

"You said that you wanted to go to the treasure house on a whim, but if you think about it carefully, is it a whim, or is someone deliberately guiding?" Ji Yunyi then asked, he suspected that it could not be so coincidental, as soon as someone made a trick on the cloak, Cao Shangfu went into the treasure house, it is likely that someone is to blame.

And the person who guided Cao Shangfu to the treasure house should be the one who soaked the wolf blood into the cloak! Or maybe these two are working together!

Cao Shangfu thought about it carefully, and really couldn't remember it anyway.

"Go back and check the people close to Cao Shangfu," Lord Fu Yin whispered in Ji Yunyi's ear, the palace rules only Shangfu can open the door to this treasure house, and others have no chance to get the key at all, unless it is someone close to her, who can take the key from her unknowingly, and put it back on her body when she is unaware.

Before Kaifeng Mansion received news from Ji Yunyi, the next day, the queen's Fengluan arrived.

"Since Kaifeng Mansion is unable to track down the culprit of this big case, then let this palace personally try it." The queen has always been cold, and when she saw Fu Yin's face was embarrassed, she then said: "Fu Yin will not be sad about the family, this matter is related to the harem and involves the imperial heir, and the palace can't sit idly by." ”

"But ......" Fu Yin was hesitant, and he didn't know what Ji Yunyi had done.

"What? The mourning family knows what you are worried about, but everyone in the world knows that the young son of the mourning family died early, and there is no child under his knees now, so naturally he can't be involved in party disputes. The queen said of her son, who had died young, with a subtle look of hatred in her eyes.

"Yes! Wechen is the queen alone. Fu Yin had no choice but to agree.

"Good!" The queen's voice was not loud, but she exuded a slight chill, and said: "Come on, bring the people from the Shanggong Bureau and others!" ”

"Torture!"

"No!" Seeing that the queen didn't say a word, Fu Yin directly ordered the big punishment to serve, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Queen Mother! Don't just use torture without asking why. ”

"Don't ask why?" The queen laughed, and then her face changed, and she said sarcastically: "It's been three or five days since the case, has Kaifeng Mansion been inquired many times, but has there been any result?" ”

"Give me torture, starting with Wu Shanggong, one by one according to the official rank, until someone confesses." The queen commanded coldly, and then stopped looking at Kaifeng Mansion Yin, who was standing on the side and only wiping cold sweat, and returned to the lobby and sat down.

Under the lobby, there were bursts of boards, thunderbolts crackled, and several female officials who were beaten opened their skins and flesh, and suddenly cried and wailed, and the single division system cried and shouted that they were wronged.

"Wronged? Whoever has wronged you, hurry up and confess, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin. The queen sat firmly in the hall and asked unhurriedly.

Unexpectedly, she is quite charitable on weekdays, and she has always been unfond of words, among the harem concubines who compete for beauty, she has always been a queen who is not very eye-catching, and today she shows such an iron-blooded and ruthless side.

"Don't you say yes? Keep calling me! ”

The queen's faint eyes suddenly drifted to the several female histories of Si Zhenfang, because Si Zhenfang's position has been vacant so far, it is not their turn to take the board. Unexpectedly, the queen's eyes were even more terrifying than the board, Xing Zhangzhen couldn't help but tremble, and Gui Mingyue also secretly screamed badly.

"You're Gui Mingyue?" The queen didn't say Gui Dianzhen, but directly called out Gui Mingyue's name, her eyes drifted away, as if she remembered an old thing.

Gui Mingyue let out a "chuckle" in her heart, she probably understood what the queen remembered.

Or rather, since she entered the palace by herself, she has already remembered that incident since she found out about her life experience!
