Text Chapter 366 The Suspicion of the Abandoned House
But after thinking about it, she can find anyone for this kind of thing, and she is not familiar with her, why did she find herself.
"Feng Zhaoyuan, the emperor has already investigated this case, and he has also called the palace to be innocent. Hongu didn't want to bother with it anymore. ”
Hearing Fu Xing'er say this, Feng Zhaoyuan couldn't help but smile, and replied to her: "Concubine Zhuang, you think things too simply. is so careless, no wonder it will become the target of others. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say?" It's not because she cares about Feng Zhaoyuan's offense, Fu Xing'er glared at her a little angrily, and she also had her own reasons.
"Concubine Zhuang, think about it yourself, what is the need to risk offending you and the queen at the same time for such a small character as Yingmei." Feng Zhaoyuan approached Fu Xing'er again and whispered to her:
This kind of brainless, reckless behavior is obviously impossible for her to do. So there must be someone else who dares to frame you and dare to harm the queen. ”
"Feng Zhaoyuan, there is no evidence, these are just your guesses. This palace advises you not to think about these things, and it will not benefit you to talk too much. ”
How could Fu Xing'er not guess such a thing, with her brain, she didn't have to think much to know that Ying'er was a substitute for the dead.
And even if she couldn't guess such a possibility, she would not easily listen to Feng Zhaoyuan's words if she was cautious.
So, speaking of this, she didn't want to listen to Feng Zhaoyuan say anything more. He turned around again, ready to go.
"Concubine Zhuang." Feng Zhaoyuan shouted to her again: "Don't you wonder who is behind this and is using Yingmei to frame you?" ”
Feng Zhaoyuan's incomparably calm whisper once again stunned Fu Xing'er.
"Feng Zhaoyuan, this palace believes in the truth found out by the emperor, the Ying beauty has already received the retribution she deserves, and the palace doesn't want to care about anything anymore." After that, Fu Xing'er left without looking back.
Feng Zhaoyuan was left standing there alone, restrained the expression on his face, shook his head, and sighed: "He is also a timid and afraid person." ”
Fu Xing'er was walking while thinking about what Feng Zhaoyuan had just said. There are obviously three possibilities for such an idea.
First, Feng Zhaoyuan may be the one who used Ying'er's hand to commit murder behind his back. Second, it was possible for her to know who was behind the warbler.
If it weren't for the above, there was only a third possibility, that is, she still had some brains and wanted to use this matter to make up a big story to win herself over.
But no matter which possibility it is, Fu Xing'er will not fall for her way.
She also has her own thoughts.
"Young Master, you're awake."
When Wang Shixuan woke up, he saw the maid Zhen'er guarding his bedside. Touching his head, which was still a little painful, he only felt that his head was blank.
"Zhen'er, what time is it now, how long have I been asleep?"
Na Zhen'er came over with a glass of water, and replied to Wang Shixuan: "Young master, it's almost noon now, and you have been sleeping since last night, and it has been almost nine hours now." ”
"I've slept for so long?" Wang Shixuan took the water cup in Zhen'er's hand and thought for a while.
"I remember that I was drinking at Yuelai Restaurant yesterday, why did I come back."
"Yes, young master, you were there yesterday, when Miss Xiaoyun came to tell the slave maid, the slave maid was still very curious about why you suddenly ran there to drink, young master. Unexpectedly, when I took someone over to see that you were really there, and after drinking for so long, you were almost unconscious. ”
No one in the palace has never seen Wang Shixuan like this, and when he saw him drink for so long yesterday, even Mrs. Wang was shocked.
"Xiaoyun? You mean, it was Xiaoyun who came to let you carry me home. ”
"yes." Zhen'er nodded: "Miss Xiaoyun ran over and said that she went to the street to buy vegetables, and just saw that you were drunk in Yuelai Restaurant, and seeing that it was getting late, let us quickly find some people to take you home." ”
It turned out that when Xiaoyun said goodbye to Wang Shixuan and left him alone in Yuelai Restaurant, thinking that it was not early, he was afraid of forgiving at night, and unconsciously, he groped and slept on the side of the unknown road.
Just as he was about to return to Anfu, Xiaoyun still turned around and went straight to the palace. found the maid Zhen'er, and told her that he saw Wang Shixuan drunk outside, and asked her to find someone to carry him back.
After such a long detour, Xiaoyun also returned to Anfu.
Hearing Zhen'er's words, Wang Shixuan couldn't help but feel that this Su Xiaoyun usually looked fierce, and his heart was actually quite good.
"At first, when I heard Miss Xiaoyun say this, I thought she was joking, and Madame almost blamed her. Later, the slave and maid brought someone over to take a look, and sure enough, it was so. ”
"What, my mother?" Thinking of Mrs. Wang, Wang Shixuan couldn't help but feel helpless.
Mrs. Wang is not a person who is easy to deal with, and after An Wenzhao's escape from marriage, she began to complain about the An family.
thinks that An Wenzhao's behavior delayed Wang Xiaojun and damaged the face of her palace. has been taking this matter to heart for a long time, and even the entire Anfu people have hated it.
Therefore, when she saw Xiaoyun coming to the palace, Mrs. Wang didn't give her any good looks.
Xiaoyun doesn't care about this, and no matter what happens to the Wang family and Anfu in the future, it won't stop her. What she is content with is living according to her heart.
"Your Highness, this is it."
In the afternoon, Dugu Yi and his two secret guards came to the southwestern outskirts of the capital. A dark guard pointed to an abandoned mansion not far in front of him and said to Dugu Yi.
"Your Highness, the two of us have gone in and seen that this house is beyond recognition except for the gate."
When Dugu Yi saw it, this was really a big house. Compared to Chen Ping's mansion he had seen, it was not much worse in terms of scale.
"Have you ever asked the people in the neighborhood whose house this was once located?" Dugu Yi asked the comfort beside him.
"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates haven't asked yet."
"Alright, you two will come with me to have a look."
So, with two secret guards, Dugu Yi walked in the direction of the house with them.
I saw that the door of this abandoned house still had shapes, but the print on the door frame was blurry and could not be seen clearly, and there was a layer of rust on the outside of the blackened copper ring.
The mansion is a big mansion, but Dugu Yi glanced around, but he didn't find the plaque.
Walking further inside, appearing in front of Dugu Yi was indeed a scene that burned beyond recognition. The huge mansion has only become an empty shelf, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
For nearly half a day, Dugu Yi and his two secret guards almost walked through the entire house.
The front and back houses are still the east and west courtyards, and they have not found a trace of anything useful. Except for the stumps of the tables, chairs, and wooden utensils that have not yet been reduced to ashes, and in addition to the fragments of some items that should be in this mansion, the appearance of this huge mansion implies that this was once a large family, and Dugu Yi can no longer know anything else.
In addition, it is the traces that have been washed and sharpened by the years, and Dugu Yi can probably guess that this house should have burned down a long time ago.
"What do you think is out of the ordinary?" Dugu Wing asked two of his secret guards.
It was not for nothing that he asked.
As secret guards dedicated to protecting Dugu Yi, these people are far better than ordinary guards in the palace. With strong martial arts, they must also have a smart mind.
This is one of the reasons why these secret guards never appear in front of people without revealing their identities. Because once Dugu Yi encounters danger, in addition to protecting him, they also have to rely on their secret advantages to help Dugu Yi catch the person who wants to hurt him.
Therefore, this is why at Dugu Yi's birthday, he could easily take down those people sent by Duanmu Lei.
The two guards glanced at each other, but they heard Dugu Yi say, "You just have to say, let me hear your opinion." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The two immediately answered.
"Back to His Royal Highness, my subordinates think that this burned abandoned mansion is so unrecognizable that it must not have been caused by an ordinary fire, and someone should have deliberately set it on fire." One of the guards replied.
"Back to His Royal Highness, my subordinates think that although this house was burned down, it is very strange that not a single corpse was found in the entire house, so there should be no one in the house when the fire prevention person burned down the house." Another Dark Guard replied.
"There's also the possibility that after setting fire to the house, someone cleaned up all the corpses." Dugu Yi also said later.
"However, this scenario is less likely. When someone sets fire to the house, the people in the house will find a way to escape when they see the situation. And the person who set the fire would not choose such a stupid method as cleaning up the corpse after burning the house. ”
"Then His Highness's idea is ......"
"I think, so with the possibility you just introduced, it's very likely that the person who set the fire was moving all the people before burning the house, and then set it on fire."
The two guards listened and nodded.
Obviously, according to Duguyi's speculation. The burning down of this house was not just a simple thing at first sight.
It's just that he, who was the emperor, didn't expect that living deep in the palace, in addition to being wary of those who have a suspicious heart for the throne, there are too many things he doesn't know outside the palace.
Dugu Yi asked two secret guards to go and ask the people living in the southwest of the capital about the abandoned mansion, but they didn't know why.
The people who were asked said that they had only moved here in recent years, and they did not come to take over the situation of this abandoned house, and some people had seen this abandoned house, but they did not know why there was such a place. Others have never even seen the house and don't know it exists.
In this way, the truth about the ruined mansion becomes a mystery.
How many years ago did this house burn down, and has everything about it disappeared with the passage of time?
Dugu Yi thought about it.
If you want to burn such a big house beyond recognition, you must have done it deliberately, and you must have wanted to hide something.
In such a mansion, no one was left behind, and all the people were already missing. Now it seems that there should be no living mouth.
But what kind of ulterior thing it is?
Murder, for money, or what a rare treasure. Dugu Yi is unknown.
But to put it simply, no matter how many years ago this incident happened, it must have been a big case at the time. In this capital, it is impossible for people who know about this matter not to be without.
Even if you don't know the details of this matter, you will definitely know about this case.
Even if the people who knew about it back then are gone, the government will definitely have a record.
So, following Duguyi's line of thought, in addition to asking the people in the capital one by one, he went to the government to ask.
And now that he is out of the palace in disguise, his identity is inconvenient, and he will definitely not be able to learn anything from the government. So now the only way to get clues is to ask people one by one.
It was also at this time that two secret guards who had been inquiring for a long time came back to report that they happened to meet an old man when they inquired, and he wanted to know something about the burning down of this house.
"Take me to see it."
So, Dugu Yi took two more secret guards to find the old man.
This old man was about fifty years old, and when he saw Dugu Yi coming, he couldn't help but stare at him a few more times.
