Chapter 166: A woman disguised as a man, never forget
Ma Rushu finally relented.
As far as he was concerned, he could not tolerate the crime of slandering the emperor's holy name no matter what. Moreover, Gu Panxi made a guarantee, and he would definitely cash in the reward to Shi Qianzheng afterwards, and ask for the power to thoroughly investigate the case of the noble witch Gu, and Ma Rushu was not considered to have violated the code of being an official.
But if there is a case, Gu Panxi does not honor the reward, then Ma Rushu is just pitted by Gu Panxi, and he can confidently participate in Gu Panxi's book afterwards. It's much better than being inexplicably charged with defaming the emperor's holy name.
When Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning came to find Ma Rushu, it was already afternoon, and after the two sides finished pulling, it was already time to eat. Ma Rushu invited Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning to stay for dinner, but Gu Panxi really didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and as soon as he slapped the table, he sat down as the chief in a grand manner.
Although Gao Xinning felt that this was rude, Gu Panxi, who was the main concubine, stayed, and she, as a side concubine, naturally had no reason to leave without permission, so she could only sit in the second seat with a smiling face.
The corners of Ma Rushu's mouth twitched a few times, and he could only bite the bullet and order the kitchen to cook a few more dishes, in order to greet these two "guests" well.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the host and guest were full, and Ma Rushu began to explain how to cooperate with Gu Panxi to thoroughly investigate the case of the noble witch Gu.
Ma Rushu thought about it, for the sake of prudence, it was still not appropriate to take Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning into the Criminal Department to retrieve the files openly, if she could avoid the eyes of others in a low-key manner, and let Gu Panxi unknowingly let her check the files she needed to consult, it would be the best.
Ma Rushu proposed that after the curfew, the aggrieved Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning put on the clothes of ordinary officials, and then he brought them into the criminal department. The reason is that it is Ma Rushu who led people to count the files. But the problem is that Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning can't stay in the Criminal Department for too long, otherwise the night officer on duty and the night patrol officer in charge of the security of the six departments may be suspicious.
For Ma Rushu's idea, Gu Panxi also agreed. In this regard, she also actively said that she only needs to spend a small amount of time to simply read all the files involved in the case once, and if it goes well, I believe it will take more than half an hour to complete.
Ma Rushu was originally scheduled to help Gu Panxi set aside two hours of time, and he was still having a headache about how to send the official errands on duty and night patrol, but at this moment, he heard Gu Panxi say that it would only take more than half an hour, which was really surprising and surprising. Even Gao Xinning couldn't help but squint her eyes and looked at Gu Panxi.
"Princess, do you know that there are more than a dozen files involved in this case, even if you read it carefully, it will take at least more than an hour, and you said that it only takes more than half an hour, isn't it ......?"
Isn't it a bit self-conscious?
Although Ma Rushu didn't say the second half of the sentence, Gu Panxi naturally wouldn't fail to hear what he meant.
Gu Panxi has this kind of self-confidence, and naturally thanks to the help of "rewinding life".
As long as she scans the entire content of the dossier, she can return to the palace, drink tea, eat pastries, enjoy Dongmei's massage, and comfortably rummage through her mind and read it carefully.
There is no way to confess this kind of thing, Gu Panxi can only be shameless, and said proudly: "Don't hide it, this concubine really has a talent that will never be forgotten." It is not difficult to read and memorize more than a dozen dossiers in more than half an hour. ”
Ma Rushu's eyes widened and turned her head to look at Gao Xinning, meaning that she wanted to ask for proof of the authenticity of Gu Panxi's words. Where did Gao Xinning know the depth of Gu Panxi, and when she saw Ma Rushu's gaze, she could only smile politely and be noncommittal.
Whether Gu Panxi really has the ability to never forget, or simply trusts the big, she took the initiative to say this, which is a good thing for Ma Rushu. Being able to take some risks for Gu Panxi was happy, so he gave it up:
"The princess is so talented, the lower officials are really convinced! In this case, it will be easy for the lower officials to do it, and for most of the hour, the lower officials have full confidence that they can vacate it for the princess, and ensure that no one will disturb the princess to consult the file. ”
After three drums, Le'an Mansion entered the curfew.
Ma Rushu asked the people in the house to open up an idle guest room, and then found two sets of the smallest errand clothes, and asked Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning to change their clothes.
While waiting for Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning to complete the process of changing their clothes, Ma Rushu still couldn't hide his anxiety, and cooperating with Gu Panxi to thoroughly investigate the case of Xian Guiren Wu Gu was always against his usual style. It was only as a last resort that he compromised with Gu Panxi.
There was a "squeak", and the door to the confined guest room was opened.
Ma Rushu sighed, stood up, and was about to say a few polite words to Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning, who had changed into the clothes of the errand officials, and asked them if they were fit, comfortable and comfortable.
"Princess, side concubine, may I ask if these two clothes are ......?"
Halfway through the words, Ma Rushu looked up at Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning, who wanted to just take a look at it, and the whole person stayed in place, as if he was looking at Medusa, completely petrified.
It's beautiful......
Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning are each delicate and beautiful, and they are dressed in men's clothes at the moment, and the posture of yin and yang fusion reveals a suffocating demon.
Ma Rushu swallowed his saliva, remembering that other colleagues mentioned that in the Eight Great Music Workshops, the most well-known fireworks place in Le'an Mansion, there are so many prostitutes who look like women and non-women, who are bewitching and moving, and have a posture that ordinary fireworks women can't reach.
The current Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning aroused an inexplicable evil fire in Ma Rushu's heart.
Why don't you take the time to check it out......
When he realized that such a ridiculous idea came out of his mind, Ma Rushu's old face turned red, and he immediately shook his head, secretly scolding himself for being outrageous, how could he be in the same league with those colleagues who looked down on him on weekdays!
After settling down, Ma Rushu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Since the princess and concubines have completed the dressing, without further ado, the lower officials will take the two to the criminal department!" While speaking, his eyes kept looking at the floor, and he didn't dare to look at Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning at all.
Gu Panxi didn't think much about it, she used to be a criminal policeman, and it was not for nothing that she had experience in disguising herself as a man. Gao Xinning was a little squirming, but she quickly got used to it. Hearing Ma Rushu say that they could leave for the Criminal Department, the two glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
I don't know if Ma Rushu wants a quick solution, or if he feels uncomfortable staying with Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning, who aroused his ridiculous thoughts, he urged the coachman so hurriedly that the carriage almost galloped through the curfew Le'an Mansion. Soon, he arrived at the Criminal Department.
There were people on duty at the gate of the Criminal Department, and in order not to show the horse's feet, Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning, the princesses dressed as messengers, got off the car early at an intersection before arriving at the Criminal Department, and followed the carriage on foot. For this, Ma Rushu apologized.
After all, Ma Rushu is the left waiter of the Criminal Department, and in the Criminal Department, he is the second position after Shangshu, so he brought people to visit in the middle of the night, and the messenger on duty did not say much, and let him go neatly. Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning successfully entered the Criminal Department.
Ma Rushu carried the lantern by herself, and easily took Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning into the archives of the Criminal Department. Because the case of the noble man Wu Gu was personally handled by Ma Rushu back then, it was not only a big case, but also an opportunity for him to be promoted, so Ma Rushu remembered the location of the file very well, and as soon as he entered the archive room, he easily found out all the files related to the case from memory.
Ma Rushu really didn't exaggerate, after he took out all the files, Gu Panxi was brief, there were eighteen volumes.
If it is to ask ordinary people to go through these files, it is really a chore.
Ma Rushu was interested, and said "Princess, please", so he temporarily withdrew outside the archives, and Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning acted cheaply.
Gao Xinning asked: "Since Sister Princess has the ability to never forget, it seems that she doesn't need Xinning's help?" ”
Gu Panxi nodded, "I don't need your help to watch, but I may have to drive my sister to run errands." If the concubine finds that there are any deficiencies in these files or that the concubine has something else she wants to know, she will ask her sister to ask Ma Shilang to help him. ”
Gao Xinning nodded, and then found a stool that was not dusty, and sat down.
Gu Panxi rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, and then spread out the files one by one in the order of the files, and began to flip through them quickly.
When she read the first volume, Gu Panxi was a little more careful, and when she finished reading it, she secretly used "rewind life", and saw that the file had indeed been completely recorded and could be rewound at will, so she breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the speed of the remaining files, it is much faster.
Things went even better than expected. Gu Panxi originally packed the ticket with Ma Rushu, and it only took half an hour to complete it, but in fact, he didn't even use half an hour, and he had already completed the reading of the eighteen volumes.
It just so happens that since there is still time, Gu Panxi can ask Ma Rushu for more information.
Before coming to the Criminal Department, Gu Panxi was aiming at more than just the relevant files of the Xian Guiren Wu Gu case. She thought about it and felt that there was a place that was very important and needed to be verified.
In the case of Xian Guiren's witch Gu, there are two very important things, one is to buy the puppet used by Wu Gu from Mrs. Xu, and the other is to spread rumors, which eventually led to Yi Guifei to expose Xian Guiren. These two things, handled by two people or only one person, but in any case, they must be people who can be trusted by the real murderer.
has been analyzed before, the suspects in the Xian Guiren witch Gu case are only the current queen, Emperor Zheng Guifei and Yi Guifei. Since Gu Panxi has basically ruled out the suspicion of Concubine Yi, the next objects of suspicion are only the queen and Emperor Zheng.
These two are concubines in the deep palace, and the people who are close to and trusted are nothing more than those types, and those who are convenient to buy puppets outside the palace, and at the same time spread rumors in the deep palace, think about it, only eunuchs or palace maids are the most suitable.
Gu Panxi has been thinking, how will the real murderer deal with this one or two eunuchs or palace maids who are responsible for buying puppets and spreading rumors?
It's really not safe to spend money to seal your mouth or drive it out of the palace. In this world, only the dead do not talk nonsense and betray their masters.
Kill somebody to do away with a witness. Gu Panxi decided that the real murderer would definitely do this.
Gu Panxi pinched his earlobe, turned his head and smiled at the sleepy Gao Xinning: "Sister Xinning, I bother you to go and talk to Ma Shilang, and ask him to find the files of the death or disappearance of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace in the fourteenth year of Tianyuan to show the concubine." ”
Gao Xinning was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Sister Princess, these files are not under the control of the Criminal Department." ”
"It's not under the control of the Criminal Department. But Concubine Ben believes that Ma Shilang, as the left waiter of the dignified criminal department, should not be difficult to be seconded. Alas, if Ma Shilang can't be seconded, the concubine will be in a bad mood and shout loudly, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. ”
Although Gao Xinning was not a victim, she couldn't help but shed two drops of cold sweat for Ma Rushu. When she met a witch like Gu Panxi, Ma Rushu was really unlucky!
Not long after Gao Xinning obeyed Gu Panxi's meaning and ran out, Gu Panxi only heard a "ding" in his head.
"Ding...... Received 7 points of Ma Rushu's resentment! ”
Gu Panxi smiled dumbly, it seems that this time she is an honest person, and she has gone too far.
But although she felt guilty, she did not regret it.
For the sake of Shi Feiqing and Zhao Wangfu, this honest man, let's pit it! Infamy, she has a clear conscience behind her back!
