Chapter 32 Heavenly Family Joy Thirty-two
The eunuch in charge of the celebrant reported Qin Tai's analysis to Meng Chong and Feng Bao one by one. Meng Chong was reluctant to meddle in the management on the grounds that Emperor Longqing handed over this matter to Feng Bao and Qin Tai. Feng Bao had no choice but to bear it, but he also felt that Qin Tai's analysis was very reasonable. Feng Bao is worthy of being an experienced eunuch, and he is much more ruthless than Qin Tai. Feng Bao ordered not only the old palace maids from the Huanyi Bureau and Concubine Cao, but even the palace maids who entered the palace with Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying to be arrested and questioned together. Qin Tai kept a copy of all the interrogation records, and he backed up a copy here.
Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying entered the palace in the same batch, and there were many people who entered the palace together at that time, except for the dead and missing, almost all of them were taken away by the celebrant for questioning. Even the palace maids beside Empress Chen, as well as Concubine Li's personal and dense palace maids, were also taken away. Empress Chen has always been easy to say, so she didn't stop it, but she didn't expect that Concubine Li, who has always been high-profile, didn't stop her. This made all the masters feel a little abnormal.
But strangely, these palace maids seem to be very united, and they can hardly ask anything valuable. These palace maids are not small palace maids, nor are they palace maids who are afraid of things, they are all old palace maids with experienced qualifications. They more or less have their own backstage, and there are also some eunuchs who have a good relationship, and some eunuchs who grew up with them have now become eunuchs with status. Ordinary little eunuchs, even the eunuchs of the celebrant eunuch did not dare to rectify these palace maids to death. The people of the Prudential Punishment Division and the Celebrant Supervisor almost returned in vain, but they did not release these palace maids immediately. After they had to report to Qin Tai, it was up to Qin Tai to decide whether to release these palace maids immediately.
The people who went out to investigate did not come back, and the old palace maid in the palace returned in vain, but Zhan's small group found some new clues. First, Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying both have a small tattoo on their bodies. It turned out that Zhan Xiaoxiao thought that the palace maid loved beauty, and used tattoos to cover up the old scars on her body. This kind of thing often happens in the inner palace, and Zhan Xiaoxiao hardly pays much attention to it. But this time after the autopsy, Qin Tai emphasized that he wanted to find out what Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying had in common, and Zhan Xiaoxiao found that the tattoos of the two deceased not only had the same pattern, but also the same position. It seems that it is really not an ordinary tattoo, so Zhan Xiao traced the pattern of the tattoo and provided it to Qin Tai for reference. Second, Zhan Xiaoxiao found that Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying were both virgins, not only were they clean when they were in the palace, but they were not violated when they were dying. But Zhan Xiaoxiao found something unusual, there seems to be something wrong with the **** of the two. Since they are virgins, **** should not be hit by a thick hard object, but their **** not only has external injuries, but also has obviously been stretched open by a thick hard object. And both of them are the same, definitely not born. Third, Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying had bent hands before they died, which is not normal. Because Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying were both killed by a master who pinched their necks and twisted their necks. A person must struggle in such a situation, and it is right to not only open his hands outward, but also to try to open them. It won't be like the two of them, their hands are slightly bent, unless they are holding something important in their hands, and they are still unwilling to let go when they are dying. It wasn't until they were strangled to death by the killer that the murderer took something from them. That's the only reason to explain it, but what is it? They didn't even want to let go of death.
After listening to Zhanxiao's report, Qin Tai had a certain mystery in his heart. The tattoo may be the private work of their little sisters, representing that they are a group of people with some kind of connection. It will definitely not be an official mark, otherwise the Master of Ceremonies and the Punishment Division would not be unaware of this mark. Thick, it reminded Qin Tai of one thing that eunuchs often do, that is, "hidden". In fact, not only the eunuchs, but even some of the storekeepers in charge of the treasury did the same. The silver treasury is the place where the gold and silver are stored, and the silver and gold in it belong to the state, and even the emperor cannot use it casually. But this is just the official rule, in fact, the emperor is corrupt, and the officials of the household department are also corrupt, making false accounts and corruption, shoddy, exchanging silver with insufficient quality for full silver corruption, and so on. These are all big tricks of some big people, and ordinary petty officials and warehouses are not qualified to do this. At that time, petty officials and cannglues also wanted to make a fortune, and they were reluctant to let go of such a good opportunity. This has the behavior of the warehouse keeper stuffing the treasury silver into **** and secretly taking it out of the treasury. It is important to know that entering and exiting the treasury not only has to go through multiple inspections, but also that those who are not allowed to bring anything in or out will be executed on the spot if they are discovered. So Cang Ding proudly used **** entrainment to steal out little by little. In order to bring more silver at one time, and in order not to be worn out by silver, Cangding not only has to privately train himself on how to walk normally with things, but also needs drugs to expand his **** memory. Later, some eunuchs also learned to do this, stealing palace goods or small antiques to buy and sell for money. Later, it almost became a habit, anyway, the emperor didn't know how many good things he had, and no one knew how much more and one less he had. It's just that the palace maid is "hidden", and this is the first time Qin Tai has heard of it. Could it be that the previous palace maids did the same thing? Every palace maid who leaves the palace also takes it with her, and takes some things in the palace to pay back?
But Qin Tai was right when he thought about it, palace maids are not like eunuchs, they rarely have the opportunity to get money, how will they live in the future if they don't have money? When the little palace maid first entered the palace, she had almost no money on her. Their money was either taken away by their masters, or they forced the little palace maids to honor everyone. When the little palace maid comes out and has her own positions and responsibilities, Yu Lu must honor her superiors and have a good relationship with the eunuchs. Because the palace maids want to have contact with their families, they need eunuchs to help them deliver news. After the palace maids have a certain status, they have to think more or less about their future. Everyone will store it themselves, but it is not safe to do so and it can be easily discovered by others. Therefore, some people ask the eunuch to send money home to their hometown and ask their family members to help them keep it, and some people have a certain eunuch to "eat" and let the other party keep or manage their money for themselves, and then take their own money when the palace maid leaves the palace in the future. Generally speaking, a small palace maid is three coins of silver for a month, a palace maid is five coins of silver for a month, and a large palace maid is eight coins of silver a month. But Qin Tai knew that the inner court would not give the palace maid a full amount, so under normal circumstances, it would be good for the palace maid to get half of it. By the way, the queen palace lady and the palace maid's Yulu can't be called Yulu but "Yue". When an old palace maid survived until she left the palace, she only had less than a hundred taels of silver on her body. I have to save some for the future life, and of course there won't be a lot of money to get through the joints. But if the eunuchs who do not do things have some sufficient benefits, the palace maids will not be able to leave the palace, and there will be no future and hope. So if the palace maid is not entrained, how will she live in the future?
It seems that Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying's "internal collection" should be taught by experienced eunuchs. not only taught Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying techniques, but also secretly bought some drug aids for them. In order to be able to get out of the palace, Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying not only put their minds into it, but also paid a lot of price. Could it be that Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying's deaths were because they stole the treasures in the palace and were really killed by the murderer? Qin Tai felt that this was unlikely, but the murderer must have taken these things with him. As long as these things can be found, they may be able to find clues to the murderer and solve the mystery of the murder of the two palace maids.
While adding these new clues to the log, Qin Tai ordered Zhan Xiaoxiao to take people to the Inner Palace. Looking at the palace maids who entered the palace in the same batch as Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying, Qin Tai had to interrogate these people in person if they had all the secrets of this kind of tattoo on their bodies. After Zhan Xiaoxiao heard this, he immediately took people away, believing that he would bring people in the near future. As soon as the person arrives, they can find out from the living population what the real meaning of this tattoo is. From this, it can be deduced whether Zhang Chunhua and Guo Ying caused the murderer to kill because of this tattoo.
As soon as Zhan Xiaoxiao took someone to investigate, Feng Bao intervened. Feng Bao simply made a big move, and all the palace maids with tattoos on their bodies were gathered. Then Zhan Xiao led people, checked them one by one, and took away the palace maids who were on active duty. This is not only convenient but also the most time-saving, and only a great eunuch like Feng Bao can do this. Under Feng Bao's intervention, a large group of palace maids were taken away in batches, and the other palace maids were also in panic. Feng Bao also took advantage of this opportunity to establish his prestige and let everyone know Feng Bao's power in the harem. Meng Chong and his subordinates seemed to have evaporated from the world, not only did they not come out to stop them, but they also did not show up to anyone, allowing Feng Bao's people to do so.
Qin Tai divided the palace maids brought by Zhan Xiaoxiao into several groups and imprisoned them separately. It was found that there were several old palace maids who would leave the palace in the future, and their names were already on the list. There are also some who are already qualified and will be released in the future according to the original arrangement. There are also some young ones, and a few small palace maids who can't even be counted as formal palace maids. Qin Tai secretly asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to take a few palace maids who were about to leave the palace to check to see if their **** had also expanded. If it has expanded, seize the opportunity to search their residences, and as long as you find evidence, you can break through their psychological defenses. And Qin Tai decided to start the interrogation with the young palace maid first, whose age is directly proportional to experience, and also proportional to courage. The young experience is relatively inexperienced, and the courage is relatively small. Older ones are not only experienced but also bolder, and are generally not easy to cooperate.
