Chapter 167: Find the real murderer and break through the window

When Ma Rushu came angrily with the file that Gu Panxi wanted, it was already half an hour later.

Although he was full of resentment, when facing Gu Panxi, Ma Rushu still held back, but when he presented the file with both hands, he gritted his teeth and said: "The palace is not strict in managing the death and disappearance of eunuchs and palace maids, and there is no special person in charge of it. The excuse of the lower official is that he found that a file of the Criminal Department involved the loss of property in the palace and borrowed it for verification, the princess, please read it quickly! ”

The function of the so-called Central Imperial Mansion is to manage the property and materials in the palace. A similar and more well-known institution in later generations was the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The eunuchs and palace maids who died or disappeared inexplicably and were not treated as murders were actually managed and recorded by the Central Imperial Palace, which shows how contemptuous the eunuchs and palace maids were in the eyes of the dignitaries in the palace.

Obviously he is a human being, but he is classified as a property......

However, at this time, Gu Panxi did not have the time to criticize the backward exploitation of feudal society, she went straight to the part of the archive in the fourteenth year of Tianyuan, wrote down the names of the eunuchs and palace maids who died or disappeared inexplicably, and then returned the file to Ma Rushu.

"Ma Shilang, thank you. The concubine has seen all the things that should be seen, and it can be said that she is satisfied. Ma Shilang's kindness, this concubine will definitely remember it. ”

Ma Rushu secretly rolled her eyes, and said: "Don't forget to ask the emperor for approval afterwards!" ”

Gu Panxi smiled and patted Ma Rushu's shoulder, "Ma Shilang, can't you still trust this concubine?" ”

I just believe you!

Ma Rushu really wanted to shout out his heart, but he only had a smile on his face.

After saying goodbye to Ma Rushu, Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning changed into messenger clothes in the carriage and returned to King Zhao's mansion non-stop.

As soon as Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning entered the gate of the palace with their front feet, Tie Muzi, Zhao Zhong and Dongmei surrounded them and asked how it was. They waited for Gu Panxi for a day, and they were afraid that Gao Xinning would cheat her.

Gu Panxi nodded with a smile and said, "It's a big gain." The three of them were relieved, but they still unconsciously glanced at Gao Xinning.

Gao Xinning sensed what these three people meant, but didn't say anything, explained to Gu Panxi, and went back to her room to rest with Mei Xue's support.

Tiemuzi was about to ask Gu Panxi what he found out today, but Gu Panxi just waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Lao Tie, are you annoyed?" This concubine is tired to death, and you still ask long and short questions. Okay, okay, let's disperse, wake up, and this concubine will explain to you again. Dongmei, are you ready for hot water? ”

Dongmei's chick nodded like a peck of rice.

"Okay, wait for this concubine to take a good bath. Alas, this whole day running...... They all stink. ”

The whole body was soaked in the hot water covered with flower petals, Gu Panxi leaned his head slightly against the bucket, looked at the milky white mist, and breathed a sigh of relief.

After relaxing his nerves, Gu Panxi launched the "Rewind Life" and began to carefully review the files he dabbled in tonight.

Using "Rewind Life" to flip through the dossier is faster than actually going to see it, which is a huge advantage. After soaking in a hot bath, Gu Panxi basically finished reading all the files.

I have to say that she is a little grateful to Gao Xinning, if it weren't for Gao Xinning helping her find Gao Zhiyuan, and then getting Ma Rushu's help after being introduced, Gu Panxi would definitely not be able to get these detailed files from the Criminal Department.

Lai Lao Liu's group of exotic spies have great skills, but they are not big enough to infiltrate the Sixth Division. Relying on Lai Laoliu's sporadic information before, Gu Panxi has never found a breakthrough, but tonight, because he has read the files of the Criminal Department, the breakthrough finally appeared.

This breakthrough is a name, the name of a palace maid-

Cls.

The case of Xian Guiren's witch Gu occurred on the seventh day of August in the 14th year of Tianyuan, and the coffin was closed on August 28, which lasted less than a month. Xian Guiren was secretly executed on the second day of the ninth month, and his body was removed from the palace on the same day. This is recorded in the file of the Criminal Department.

And Ma Rushu found the archives from the Central Imperial Palace, Gu Panxi clearly saw that in the fourteenth year of Tianyuan, on the third day of the ninth month, Huacai disappeared after leaving the palace and was recorded as a "bad loss".

At the beginning of September, the second noble person was executed, and the third Huacai disappeared at the beginning of September? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Because of this doubt, Gu Panxi once again used "rewind life" to try to find Huacai's name in the files of the Criminal Department. It's a pity that Gu Panxi failed to do so, but this did not discourage her.

Hua Cai's name could not be found in the criminal department file, but Gu Panxi found something else.

That was found from Concubine Yi's confession. Concubine Yi mentioned that the reason why she knew that there was a witch doll hidden in the Xian Guiren's bedroom was because she heard what the palace maid said, and after that, the criminal department followed the vine and searched for the source of this rumor all the way, and on the file, the path of the rumor transmission was recorded clearly.

The Criminal Department determined that the rumors came from the Zining Palace, which was precisely the residence of the Xian nobles. This seems very reasonable at first glance, the eunuch or palace maid in the Zining Palace accidentally discovered that his master was using witchcraft, and after a while, he revealed it, so that word of mouth spread it, and finally reached the ears of Yi Guifei, exposing the noble person.

But the problem is that the rumor is that the rumor came from Zining Palace was explained by the eunuch palace maid of Qingning Palace. And Zining Palace is said to be the palace maid eunuch who started the rumors, and as early as the fifth day of the eighth month, that is, two days before the incident, was recorded as "bad attrition" by the Central Imperial Palace.

The Criminal Department determined that this was caused by the Xian nobles who were worried about the incident after they knew about the rumors and killed people.

Gu Panxi didn't think so at all. Just imagine, if Xian Guiren really knew about the rumors and was worried about the incident, then at the same time, why didn't he destroy those witch puppets to eliminate the evidence of the crime?

This simply does not hold water.

What's more critical is that Gu Panxi remembered that in the record of the "bad loss" of Huacai in the Zhongyu Mansion, the origin of Huacai was written - Huacai, who was from Qingning Palace!

The person who spread the rumors, Gu Panxi thought it was Huacai. She believes that Hua Cai is responsible for spreading the rumors, and then when she was investigating in the Criminal Department, she blamed the eunuchs and palace maids in Zining Palace who died without evidence, which confirmed the key to the crime of Xian nobles. It is precisely because of this that she was killed afterwards and became a "bad loss" recorded by the Central Imperial Mansion.

"It's you."

Gu Panxi opened his eyes and pulled his consciousness out of the "rewind life".

"Queen! Concubine Ben really couldn't have imagined that the case of the Xian Guiren Witch Gu was actually masterminded by you behind the scenes! ”

The moment this inference was drawn, the window of Gu Panxi's room was broken open from the outside with a "ho", and then a black shadow broke in like a whirlwind and hit her directly......
