Zhao Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Why would an ordinary palace maid carry a dagger with her?" ”

"Well," Zhao Guang nodded, "that's exactly what I wanted to ask." ”

"I don't know if this dagger is Pang Gongzi, or perhaps, this palace maid is from the imperial dining room, maybe she needs to use a dagger to handle some ingredients in the imperial dining room in Su Ri, please ask the emperor to summon the director of the imperial dining room to ask." The guard thought for a moment and replied.

Zhao Guang nodded and ordered someone to go to the director of the Xuan Imperial Dining Room.

Zhao Zhengze went to look at the corpse, looked around again, and didn't say anything.

"What did you find?" Zhao Guang stared at Zhao Zheng, expecting him to come up with some new insights.

"The younger brother agrees with the guard's speculation," After speaking, Zhao Zheng approached Zhao Guang's side again, "The identity of this palace maid still needs to be carefully investigated, so as not to miss some behind-the-scenes figures." ”

Zhao Guang was suspicious, and he was also thinking about this question, could it be that someone bought this palace maid to kill Pang Shicong.

"If she was instructed to do so, she could have escaped if she killed someone, so why would she commit suicide?" Zhao Guang thought about it and felt that the logic was not very reasonable.

"Some secret organizations have their own methods of controlling people." Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao Guang squinted at Zhao Zheng, "Secret organization? Seventh, you know quite a bit. ”

"I've read some ancient books when I've had nothing to do, I've seen them."

Zhao Zheng's explanation was barely reasonable, so Zhao Guang didn't ask more, and now all he needed to solve urgently was Pang Shicong's death. Zhao Zheng didn't say anything more, he just wanted Zhao Guang's mind to be confused, and the goal was achieved.

Before the director of the imperial dining room arrived, Sun Delu rushed with three ministers of machinery.

An Peiquan is one of the ministers of maintenance, and after meeting the emperor, he shouted to Zhao Zheng the Seventh Prince, which can be regarded as a greeting. Although these two people are still in a relationship with Weng and son-in-law, the relationship is actually extremely cold.

Then the three ministers of the aircraft were led by the guards, and briefly looked at the scene of the murder, and the guards repeated what they had just said to the emperor and Zhao Zheng, they listened, nodded slightly, and quickly sorted out the ins and outs of the matter.

They all tend to be Pang Shicong's drunken and promiscuous, but they were killed by a fierce palace maid who swore to die. After all, Pang Shicong has always been a prodigal person, and he has done this kind of thing.

Not long after, the director of the imperial dining room also came, and when he saw the emperor and the dignitaries, he hurriedly asked for peace.

"Do you recognize this palace maid?" Zhao Guang motioned for the director of the imperial dining room to step forward, pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked.

Although the director of the imperial dining room was a little timid, after all, he had seen a lot of people killing chickens and slaughtering cattle all day long, and his courage was okay, he took a closer look at it carefully, and then nodded, "Back to the emperor, this is the palace maid of the imperial dining room." ”

"Would the palace maid of the Imperial Dining Room carry a dagger with her?" Zhao Guang asked.

When the director of the imperial dining room heard this, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, "I really don't know this little one, it is said that the palace maid who passes the meal will not carry weapons, only the imperial kitchen in the back kitchen will carry a short knife or dagger because he often has to deal with ingredients, but they don't dare to walk around the palace with weapons, this palace maid ......" Speaking of this, the director of the imperial dining room knelt down, "Please forgive the emperor, the little one really doesn't know why she has to walk around the palace with a dagger." ”

"Sun Delu ......," Zhao Guang shouted.

Sun Delu hurriedly stepped forward and "Go to the Internal Affairs Office to check the address and family situation of this palace maid's naturalization." ”

Sun Delu hurriedly went.

"You guys are watching the scene here," Zhao Zheng said to the guards, and then said to a palace man: "You, immediately go to the palace to see the Wei commander of the Dali Temple and Zhang Yi, the secretary of the criminal department." ”

One by one, everyone responded.

"You," Zhao Guang looked at several aircraft ministers, "follow me back to the Qinzheng Palace." ”

After walking a few steps, Zhao Guang looked back at Zhao Zheng, who was standing still, "You come too." ”

"The younger brother is neither a member of the Criminal Department nor an important minister, so it's better to avoid suspicion." Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao Guang thought about it, didn't say anything, and turned to leave.

Zhao Zheng stayed in the Yaxu Hall for a short while, and then left.

Fushou Palace inquired about why the emperor's old mother who had not been in the early dynasty also went back at this moment, and whispered to the queen mother: "The old slave went to inquire, and said that Pang Shicong and Pang Gongzi died in the Yaxu Palace, and there was also a palace maid in the imperial dining room who died together. ”

The Queen Mother was stunned, and only sighed for a while, but finally said nothing.

Zhao Zheng returned to the thirteenth princess's bedroom, Shen Yuexi and Zhao He had both woken up, it was a little far away, and the palace maids didn't like to inquire about things, so Zhao He didn't know that something big had happened in the palace at this time.

Shen Yuexi understood in her heart, so when she saw Zhao Zheng coming back, she looked over meaningfully, "Early in the morning, where have you been, Seventh Master?" ”

"Pang Shicong is dead." Zhao Zheng said.

Zhao He, who was grooming in the mirror, got up in surprise, "He? How did he die? ”

"Killed." Zhao Zheng said softly.

Zhao He's eyes widened and he got up from the stool, "Who killed him?" ”

"There is no final conclusion yet, at present, it is only inferred that he was killed by a palace maid, the emperor is investigating the matter, and I believe it will soon be revealed."

Shen Yuexi also came over to join in the fun, "Why did that palace maid kill Pang Shicong?" ”

Zhao Zheng looked at Shen Yuexi, "According to the guards' inference, Xu is Pang Shicong wanted to mistreat the palace maid after drinking, but he didn't want to be stabbed to death by the palace maid with a dagger." ”

Oh...... Shen Yuexi smiled suddenly, it turned out that Zhao helped her deal with the aftermath in this way yesterday, and there was another palace maid who died in vain.

"Where's the dagger? Pang Shicong's? Zhao He thought about it and asked.

Zhao Zheng shook his head, "The dagger is a murder weapon, whose it is, the emperor will find out, and we will wait for the result." ”

"It's a pity, Pang Gongzi is quite good," Shen Yuexi sighed, and then looked at Zhao He, "What do you say?" ”

Zhao He thought for a while, "I don't care if others are good or not, but if he dies, what will happen to the king of southern Yunnan?" ”

Shen Yuexi listened on the sidelines, making a misty appearance, "Since the person is dead, can the king of southern Yunnan be resurrected if he is reborn?" ”

"Pang Shicong is a hostage left in the capital by the king of southern Yunnan, and now that the hostage is dead, it is equivalent to losing a check on the king of southern Yunnan, if he raises troops to make trouble...... Zhao He explained. She thought that Shen Yuexi was not a member of the royal family, so naturally she didn't understand the stakes involved.

When Shen Yuexi heard this, she was overjoyed, what she wanted was the anger of the king of southern Yunnan.

"Will it be that serious? If you raise an army to make trouble, you are a rebel and a thief, and it will be a stigma for generations. Shen Yuexi pretended not to believe it.

"Some things are not easy to say, but there are no people here," Zhao He looked outside the door and whispered to Shen Yuexi: "If the person who makes trouble is defeated, he will naturally be a rebel and thief, but if he wins, he will be the king, and the winner will be the king, and the loser will be the king, haven't you heard?" ”

Quite right. Shen Yuexi sighed and stopped talking.

"If the world is not peaceful, the first people to suffer are the people of Southern Xia." Zhao He looked worried.

Shen Yuexi's heart sank, she wanted revenge, she wanted chaos in the world, she didn't think about the people of the world before, so Zhao He was worried about the people of the world, which made her a little ashamed.

"We don't know what will happen yet, so let's not speculate." Zhao Zheng said in a deep voice.

Zhao He stopped talking, returned to the dresser and sat down, looking at himself in the bronze mirror in a daze.

After a while, a palace maid came to report: "Seventh Prince, the Queen Mother invites you to Fushou Palace." ”

Zhao Zheng knew that the Queen Mother must have heard about Pang Shicong, and this was to call herself to inquire about the inside story, but who would have thought of it? The inside story is that Shen Yuexi killed Pang Shicong, and he killed the palace maid......

"I'm afraid the royal brother is going to be burnt out." After Zhao Zheng left, Zhao He sighed and said.

Shen Yuexi didn't speak, walked to the door, and looked at the sky outside, "On the first day of the first month, someone died, someone lived, someone laughed, and someone cried. ”

When Zhao He heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, and continued to stare at himself in a daze in the bronze mirror.

Zhao Zheng went to Fushou Palace, the Queen Mother was having breakfast, and when she saw Zhao Zheng, she asked him if he had breakfast, Zhao Zheng shook his head, and the Queen Mother asked the old mother to prepare another set of utensils.

Zhao Zheng sat down, "The queen mother also knows about the turmoil that happened in the palace this morning, right?" ”

Well, the Queen Mother responded, "What's the situation now?" ”

"The imperial brother and the Minister of Machinery discussed this matter in the Qinzheng Palace, and recruited the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Wei Commander of the Dali Temple, what is the final conclusion, it remains to be known." Zhao Zheng replied.

"What do you think the King of Yunnan will do when he finds out about this?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"Life in the world, accidents are inevitable, not to mention that this time is also a disaster caused by Pang Shicong himself, the important ministers of the three dynasties of the king of southern Yunnan, should understand the reason, if there is no disobedience, it will not be too embarrassing, and the imperial brother will definitely give a large amount of money to Pang Shicong's death."

"Is the king of Yunnan a man who cares about silver?" The Queen Mother looked anxious, "Pang Shicong was originally going to get married in the spring, but suddenly he died, and the family affair set for him by the king of southern Yunnan is the daughter of the richest man in southern Yunnan, this marriage will not work, who knows what he will think." ”

"Does the queen mother mean that the king of southern Yunnan will think that Pang Shicong was deliberately killed by the imperial court?" Zhao Zheng didn't expect this layer.

"People only want to trust their own judgment, it doesn't matter what the truth is, what they believe matters." The Queen Mother said something worth pondering.

"The Queen's Meaning ......"

"I'm afraid Nanxia is going to make waves......"

This breakfast, the food was tasteless, and the chopsticks were hastily put down.

"Your imperial brother has been worrying about the country and the people for so many years, it's not easy, if you have to be idle, you can help if you can, how to say that you are also brothers of the same mother, the past has passed, and you will need to work together in Nanxia in the future." The Queen Mother said, looking at Zhao Zheng with Yin Yin's eyes.

Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly, "It's not that the queen mother doesn't know the imperial brother's attitude towards her sons, for so many years, he has never let me have a real difference, and he naturally doesn't need his sons in the future, there are ministers in the court to help the emperor share his worries." ”
