Chapter 102: Covert Investigation
Emperor Yuan asked, "That little girl has been back to Zhuo's Mansion for a few days?" ”
"Yes," said the Dark Guard. ”
"What did she do when she came back?" Emperor Yuan thought for a moment before asking.
According to the news, Miss Qin hurried back to the capital from the northwest and entered Zhuo's Mansion directly, without any contact with anyone on the way. The next morning, he went out of the city to pay respects to the Lin family, who died unexpectedly two months ago, and there was nothing abnormal. However, there was a strange news from the secret line of Zhuo's mansion, it was she who asked the housekeeper of Zhuo's mansion to secretly check the groom of the prime minister's mansion in the past few days. ”
"The detailed situation will be placed in front of my case tomorrow."
"Yes! Obey the order. ”
……
Two strange things have happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently.
A horseman and a little maid disappeared half a day apart.
The next day, someone went to look for the groom and the maid's family, but they were also found to have disappeared overnight.
With the loss of two minions, it is not a big deal for the masters of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The lady of the house sent some servants to look for a few days, and the argument that a maid eloped with the groom was gone. However, the groom's appearance and family background are average, and he has a wife and children, and the maid is still a beautiful girl who is fourteen or fifteen years old and unmarried.
The servants in the house did not dare to say much if they had speculations in their hearts.
The only one who has the most trouble sleeping and eating is the second lady in the house, because one of the missing people has her personal maid Cui'er.
In an ordinary house in the south of the city.
There was a dimly lit wing with a closed door and a heavy black cloth covering the windows. The faint tung oil light reflects a shadow behind a screen, which is strange and mysterious.
In front of the screen, a civilian man in a coarse cloth shirt kneeling on his stomach couldn't help but tremble, his face was pale with horror, "The little one, the little one knows everything, please let my family go, please, the little one was also forced." ”
Civilian men knelt on the ground and pleaded, kowtow!
kept kowtowing, and blood gushed out of his forehead and didn't dare to stop.
"You say, it was a direct order from the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion that day?" On the other side of the screen, there was a faint male and female voice, "This second young lady, her name is Song Qinghe?" ”
"Yes, yes." The man hurried to respond.
"Why? An old woman who doesn't know your second lady. ”
"The little one is just a groom, no, I don't know."
"I really don't know, or don't you dare to say?" The voice was not sad or happy, faintly cold, faintly threatening, and said, "Even if you don't say it, the truth will come out sooner or later." It's just a pity for your old mother, wife and children. Anyway, your youngest child is only three years old, it's pretty cute, I've seen ......."
"Don't, please spare your little family, please. As long as you are willing to let them go, you can do whatever I want. ”
"Then you have to think about what happened at that time, and tell it in a meticulous way. If it doesn't match what Prime Minister Fu Cui'er said, you, including your family, don't want to live in this world. Think about it again, even if I let you go today, do you think the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion will let you go? ”
“……”
Half an hour later.
In the other room, a little maid also trembled and told the whole story.
Following.
Chu Lange was dressed in plain clothes and came to a tailor's shop called "Hexiang".
The store is not big, the decoration in front of the door is not elegant, and there is even some vermilion paint peeling off on the signboard, which looks like some years.
