144 Interlocking(2)
After tossing and turning all night, the pityan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Early the next morning, Pian Zheng went out of the punishment mansion against the darkness at present.
Jiang Nu prepared breakfast, and Lian Zheng hurriedly ate two bites, and immediately rushed to the Criminal Division.
As soon as he entered the door of the Criminal Division, he saw that Yin of the Wei Department was sitting in the hall calmly, and a cup of warm tea had been poured and waiting.
He knew she was out again?
Pian Zheng turned his head and glanced at Ah Li, who was cold when he saw the knife, but he didn't dodge it.
"Do you want to check Zhao Yi?" Wei Zhi Yin looked at the darkness under the eyes of the pity, and glanced at it, but he didn't say a word.
Pian Zheng walked over, sat down on the side, took a sip of warm tea, "Hmm." ”
"I'm afraid you can't move this Zhao Yi." Wei Zhiyin had waited for a while, and the tea had passed half a cup, and he put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Just say it." Pity Zheng said.
No matter if he can't move, she only cares about investigating the case, she can't manage so much, and she doesn't want to care.
This is the only thing she can do at the moment, so she will dive into it with all her heart.
"Behind Zhao Yi is Dong Guifei, Dong Guifei is the daughter of the Dong family, and it is the concubine given to her father by the Emperor Taishang Qin back then, if it weren't for the queen's surname being more noble, it is the mother's family of the queen, then it is likely to be Dong Guifei who is sitting on the queen's throne now."
"Isn't the eldest prince already demoted and cut off from the throne?" Pian Zheng thought for a while and said calmly.
"You know that although the eldest prince has been deposed, the queen is still the mother-in-law, no matter who succeeds to the throne, the queen will still be the noble mother and queen mother." Wei Zhi Yin's thin lips lightly opened, and said: "Therefore, the difficulty for you is that you have no evidence." ”
"Let's not talk about how much evidence you have now, the motive for the killing, the killing process, you don't have any clues."
Wei Shi Yin silently looked at the tiredness on her face, and then said: "The most important thing is how can you convince the Dong family with these evidences?" ”
That's really to the point.
"The top priority is to find out what is the relationship between Zhao Yi and Wu Zhao and Jin Lin?"
"yes, got it." The pityan nodded in response.
Both of them fell silent for a moment.
The cuffs of the kite-like were wide, and the bruises on his wrists could be seen at a glance, and I was afraid that he had indeed gone too far yesterday.
He obviously wanted to talk to her well, but looking at her undoubted and single-minded look towards King Jin, he was angry.
Why is it the cause of Wei Feng?
Why is it the smiling tiger?
Why did he get what he wanted, but Wei Fengyin got it?
He tried his best and forbearance in every way, but why was it all because of Wei Feng?
Wei Zhiyin was silent for a while, sighed in his heart, but his expression was solemn: "Yesterday ......"
"If King Sheng has nothing to say, he will first go to see if Li De has anything to say, and retire from his humble position."
The warm tea was put down, the tea was gone, and he couldn't find a reason to leave her.
Without saying a word, he got up and walked towards the dungeon of the Criminal Division.
Out of the threshold, I raised my eyes and saw that the snow was sparsely falling outside, and the snow slowly fell to the ground, piling up layers of white flocculent, and the pity was a little distracted for a while.
When it snowed for the first time, she still remembered that the wind was hiding in her donkey cart waiting for her, and the laughter and the strength of the skin were still vivid in her mind a few days ago.
Now, I probably don't have that state of mind anymore.
"Prepare the carriage and prepare to enter the palace." Pian Zheng glanced sideways slightly, and commanded Ali.
Ah Li nodded, and Thirteen was stunned, "The donkey cart is ready outside." ”
"No need, the donkey cart is too slow, the snow falls these days, it is faster to use the horse-drawn cart." Pian Zheng stretched out his hand, picked up the falling snow in the sky, and flickered: "In this way, the donkey will be less tormented, and the person will be less tossed." ”
Hearing this, Thirteen said, "The charcoal fire and ...... have not yet been heated on the carriage."
"It's okay, Ah Li, you can do it."
Looking at the melting snow in his palms, he looked back at Thirteen, "Thirteen, you and I will interrogate Li De." ”
Thirteen failed to interfere with the carriage, and the objects in the donkey cart naturally could not be moved to the carriage entirely, and Thirteen could not interfere.
But he didn't want to say anything more, and turned around and went to the dungeon.
★
The dungeon is cold, and the winter dungeon is even colder than an ice cellar.
Leedser cowered in the corner, his face cleared from the cold, he looked up tremblingly, and immediately threw himself out of the weeds and grabbed the cell door.
"My lord, I am wronged, my lord, my lord......"
"What are you wronged, you shout wronged?" Thirteen went down to the dungeon, took the key, and opened the door.
Li De still had a wooden prison around his neck, he staggered a few steps and fell to his knees, "I've recruited everything, recruited everything." ”
"Don't you know anything else?" Tired of the kite, he pinched his forehead.
"I remember yesterday you said that you saw that little eunuch was very angry, and he will come to look for you tonight, do you know why we arrested you?"
Li De was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Isn't it for the female corpse that had an accident in the palace?" ”
"A female corpse?" Pian Zheng shook his head and said lightly: "There are already two bodies." ”
"Two ...... Two ......." Li De kowtowed desperately, "I didn't kill it, I didn't kill it, my lord spared his life...... Spare ......"
"The murderer can have two, and the person who made you hide the cause of Jin Lin's death must have nothing to do with the murderer."
Pian Zheng stared at the dry grass that was already wet and soft in the dungeon, came back to his senses, collected a little emotion, and said lightly: "You said, if I release the news, if you go back to the palace tonight, you will be ordered to guard you, you can't get out of the palace, will he kill you or not?" ”
Li De's knees were cold as he knelt under the dark dungeon.
Although Li De is stupid in this matter, his brain is not bright.
He only thought about it, and then he knew what it was for.
He hurriedly kowtowed twice, raised his head and knelt down, "My lord spare my life, my lord spare my life!" I did not know the little eunuch when I looked at him, but ...... But his legs were limping, and there was a smell on his body......"
"I have ordered someone to investigate what you said, it is not for nothing that the eunuchs in the palace are lame, but the suspicion is not so big."
In addition to a few elderly eunuchs in the palace who were lame and were sent out of the palace early, there was also a lame eunuch who took on a small idle role in the palace, but in the past two days of the incident, he was outside the palace to buy the things needed inside and outside the palace, and now he has not returned to the palace, so how can he be suspicious?
It was his testimony that made Zhao Yi get rid of suspicion in vain.
Zhao Yi's walking posture did not show any traces of limping, and he couldn't see it at all, let alone smell.
Pian Zheng said in a low voice: "It seems that you still hide it and refuse to say, then that's it, Thirteen, take his shackles away, send him to the palace, and tell the guards that they must not let people out of the palace tonight, and if their body is found, then they must notify me as soon as possible." ”
"I'll take a quick look for him, it's different from the death of the person in front of him." The face of the pitiful kite was unkindly cold.
"I said I said, he ...... He limped, but ...... But he had a sign on him. ”
When she heard this, although she didn't know what brand it was, she still didn't change her face.
Thirteen answered the question and asked, "Which palace's brand?" ”
The eunuchs and maids of each palace must wear a brand, no matter which palace brand, once the palace guards check and forget, if they forget to bring the waist card, they can be sent to the Shen Penal Division to serve.
If you know the brand, then the scope of this identity is narrowed down a lot.
"Yes...... Be...... The sign in the Purple Void Palace. Li De's face hesitated slightly, but he saw the cold face of the pity, and he still spoke out in the end.
Pian Zheng frowned slightly: "How can you confirm that it is the Purple Void Palace?" The Purple Void Palace is the palace where Concubine Xi is located, and as far as I know, you don't seem to have anything to do with the Purple Void Palace. ”
"Although the little one doesn't do things in the hands of the harem mothers, but the little one must also be familiar with the master of the six palaces, if something goes wrong with the errand, it means that the head of the item is not guaranteed, how can the slave not care?"
Li De's knees trembled, he paused tremblingly, and then said: "The slave must not be mistaken, although the brand is old, but the wood color and the wording, there will be no mistake." ”
"Tell me more." I don't understand it very well, is it possible that this brand is still old and new?
The thirteenth general thought about what Yuan Jiu had instructed before, and then remembered the rules of the palace, there was indeed such a thing.
"The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace will be changed every three years, except for the big eunuchs and aunts who have been staying in the palace concubines, the rest of the people have been sent and newly entered the palace, so the waist card on the body is not made of good materials, and the loss is more, so the internal affairs government will use the ordinary wood to do, so it will be replaced with a batch every five years on average."
Hearing this, he looked at Thirteen, "When was the last time you changed your waist card?" ”
Li De kowtowed and replied, "My lord, the year the slave entered the palace was just changed, and it has only been a year now, but that brand is indeed an old brand, at least three or two years old." ”
Pian Zheng glanced at Li De, Li De happened to raise his head, and when he saw Pian Zheng looking at him, he hurriedly lowered his head and begged for mercy.
The pity fell silent, and Thirteen didn't intervene.
In the entire dungeon, only the sound of Li De's frozen breathing was left on the ground.
"Where's your belt?" Pian Zheng asked in a deep voice.
Li Dezhan trembled and said: "The slave left the palace and didn't take it with him. ”
"If you don't bring it out of the palace, then where did you go into the palace, you can't find the waist card, why don't others send you?"
"This ......" Li De's eyes flickered when he heard this.
"Look, since you still have something to hide, you won't count what you just said." Mercy Zheng said lightly: "Thirteen, take people away." ”
"My lord! My lord! Li De knelt down and moved two steps forward, "I said! ”
"The door division of the nine gates of Changjing City, east ...... Lin Xiao, the captain of the city gate of the East City Gate, can release people from the palace, as long as he gives enough silver, he will ...... I can let you go, minions...... The minions have missed the time to return to the city last night, I'm afraid it's ......"
If the time of the city gate last night had passed, then the people in the palace would have guessed it.
"What is the origin of this city gate captain Lin Xiao?" Mercy asked thirteen.
Thirteen thought for a moment, and then said: "It's the descendant of the Dong family......
Outside the dungeon, Xiao Bei ordered Mo Dongqing to come to pass the word, and Jin Lin's brother Jin Sheng had already found it.
