Chapter 1005: The Suspicion of King Rui
In the evening, almost all the people in the palace were checked, but all of them seemed to be innocent. The concubines, maids, eunuchs, and guards who had left their bedrooms last night were all isolated and interrogated one by one.
In the Weiyang Palace.
Bingyi was bored lying on the table, and raised his eyes to look at Baili Guyan: "Miss, have you thought of a way?" It's not the same thing that we've been sitting here all the time. The Queen Mother has already sent someone over to take Xiao Anle from the nurse to Yanxi Palace, and I heard that it will not distract you and give you time to seriously investigate the case...... To put it mildly, this is simply putting pressure on you! ”
"I know." Baili Guyan faintly threw three words.
"Are you in a hurry since you know?" Bingyi frowned, "The little princess has always been carried by the slave maid, and the slave maid is really worried about ......"
"Worried about what? After all, she is the granddaughter of the Queen Mother, if Ling'er really has anything, she is the only blood and blood of the Rong family so far. Baili Guyan said with relief.
Bingyi nodded thoughtfully, then straightened her eyes and asked, "Miss, you've been drawing with a pen for a long time, what are you drawing?" ”
There are dozens of pieces of drawing paper in front of Baili Guyan, and each one has some lines drawn, crookedly, and there are no rules to follow.
"It's a knife technique." Baili Guyan glanced at Bingyi, then picked up a few of them and spread them out in front of Bingyi, "Look at it, this line ...... Like what kind of sharp weapon caused it? ”
"It's not a sword. If it is a sharp sword, it will not leave traces of potholes and pits, and ordinary swords will not cut off the limbs of children at all. "Although Bingyi is stupid, this can still be understood.
"It is forbidden to carry weapons in the palace, except for the saber of the chamberlain and the kitchen knife of the cook...... I couldn't think of anything else for a moment. Baili Guyan rubbed his head, "But I have already prepared a potion, and people have tested everyone's swords and kitchen knives, which can prove it...... No human blood was touched for three days. ”
"This shows that someone has hidden weapons." Bingyi nodded thoughtfully.
"I see!" Baili Lonely's eyes lit up, and he thought of something in an instant.
At this moment, Huo Qinglan pushed the door in, and said with an anxious face: "Master! Oh no! I don't know who spread rumors in the capital, saying that the Rong family was cruel, and in order to consolidate the throne of the Rong family, they ordered the killing of the six orphans of the first emperor overnight, and cruelly divided the corpses! The city has spread ten times and spread hundreds, which has already aroused the indignation of the people! Now many people spontaneously unite into a line and gather around the palace to make trouble, and they are bound to ask for an explanation! ”
"Can you find the source of the news?" Baili Guyan frowned.
"The source could not be found, but the people who were making trouble checked their addresses one by one. It's strange to say, they all live near King Rui's Mansion......" Huo Qinglan lowered his voice, "You say, could it be...... King Wise. ”
"His Highness the Ninth will not." Baili Guyan denied, "I can trust him." ”
"Don't be rash, master! In the past, the wise king may not be, but now that the emperor is in front of him, who doesn't want to fight? Huo Qinglan's face turned cold, "Master, don't forget, Zongzheng Shaoqing still has 50,000 horses in his hands!" Although 50,000 horses is not much, if you add the public opinion of the people, the soldiers will be under the city, and you will be like a bamboo! ”
