"Maybe it's a drug, and the effect of the medicine has already passed by the time I come?" Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said, "If the time is just right, it may not be impossible." ”

Although it is an attempt to publicly extricate Yasukuni, it is not unreasonable.

They had thought of this reason long in the beginning. Liu Yuan looked at Wen Mingtang and shook his head: "According to Grandpa Guo, since he entered the palace, he has not touched any entrance objects," he said, paused, and then said, "The only thing to be imported is to be entered...... It was the tea and dim sum sent by Master Wen, but the tea and dim sum had not yet been able to be entered. ”

Wen Mingtang glanced at Lin Fei, who was silent on the side, thought for a while, and said, "Could that not be an entrance thing, but a smell of smoke and other things?" After the other party smoked, he disposed of it? ”

Liu Yuan glanced at Lin Fei on the side, shook his head and said, "There has never been tea and snacks in the palace, and Grandpa Guo obviously just entered the palace." According to Grandpa Guo's own words, from the time he entered the palace to the time Master Wen came over, it was only a cup of tea. If there is such a thing, not to mention how difficult it is to dispose of it in the effort of a cup of tea, it is true...... After the smoke in the hall, all the doors and windows were opened wide to let the smoke dissipate, and it was impossible to do it so clean in the effort of a cup of tea. What's more, according to Master Wen, when she came, the doors and windows of the hall were closed. ”

Therefore, the theory of smoke does not make sense.

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he also fell silent, and subconsciously looked up at Lin Fei, who had never spoken: "Lin Shaoqing, this ......"

Lin Fei was lowering his eyelids at this time, covering the emotions under his eyes.

After a pause, he heard Lin Fei speak: "Grandfather, he entered the palace with Lord Chang today to face the saint?" ”

Liu Yuan, who was on the side, responded and said, "It was called by His Majesty, because His Majesty had a recital that had not been reviewed at hand, so he made them wait for half an hour." ”

Wen Mingtang subconsciously looked in Lin Fei's direction when he heard this, but saw that Lin Fei also looked up at her at this time, and the two of them stared at each other slightly: If what the queen said is true, this half hour was specially set aside by His Majesty for her meeting with her grandfather.

But in the matter of entering the palace today, it is not only His Majesty and the Queen who are involved, but also a cadre from Concubine Jing.

So, will this matter be the work of either side? Or is there someone on the other side who is hiding in the shadows? Of course, these assumptions are premised on...... If it is true that grandfather is not the murderer in this case.

"Lord Li and the others left the city the day before yesterday, and they didn't return until I entered the palace." After being silent for a long time, Lin Fei spoke, and he said, "Before I entered the palace, someone had already come to my house to inquire if there was any news of these people. ”

What a coincidence, everything is so coincidental! Although it may be delayed due to an emergency, it may be that he has not returned from the city, but it is ...... Like now, when I left the city and didn't return, I happened to bump into my grandfather's usual accident when he entered the palace together......

Mo said that Lin Fei and Liu Yuan, who had handled a lot of cases, even Wen Mingtang had a bad feeling.

"Lord Li and the others left the city the day before yesterday, and they originally said that they would return that day. Since I didn't return that day, yesterday, Chang Shi came to look for my grandfather, and this can be known by asking a little about the people in Chang Fu and the subordinates in the Yasukuni Mansion. Lin Fei knew that there were some things that could not be hidden, and if he said it openly and honestly, this would not be a detour in the investigation of the case.

"Grandfather and I are not in the same house, and we don't know what they say, but the conversation between the two of us should not be pleasant. When Mr. Chang left, he angrily kicked the stone lion in front of the house, and early this morning, I heard that the steward was looking for someone to prepare to repair the stone lion. Lin Fei said.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan and Wen Mingtang were stunned, and Wen Mingtang was surprised: "That Lord Chang doesn't look like a strong man who can kick a bad stone lion!" ”

Lin Fei explained: "The stone lion in front of the mansion gate has already been shattered, and Lord Chang just kicked the gravel out. ”

So that's the case, Liu Yuan was stunned.

Before he could react, Lin Fei didn't need him to ask, so he said himself: "The stone lion in front of the mansion was there when the mansion was opened, and a lot of stone cracks were broken. ”

It sounds like a trivial matter, but this time Shangfeng, who had to avoid suspicion, said it in great detail.

Liu Yuan was a little unsure, but he still continued to listen to Lin Fei with Wen Mingtang on the side: "So, after that, Lord Chang can kick the stone lion with one kick, and he needs someone to repair it." ”

Liu Yuan let out an "oh", looked at Lin Fei, and continued to listen carefully, and the posture almost came down with a paper note.

Wen Mingtang on the side heard this and thought thoughtfully.

Lin Fei looked at the serious expression on Liu Yuan's face, and said: "Grandfather and Master Chang seem to have a conflict, His Majesty summoned him today, and originally only summoned his grandfather, but I don't know why I want to take Lord Chang into the palace together." ”

Liu Yuan nodded again and wrote it down carefully.

Lin Fei thought for a while, and then said, "When did they enter and leave the palace gate?" Do you still have an impression of the palace gate guards? ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said, "The two guards in front of the palace gate today all said that the two of them entered the palace gate of the imperial city at the same time, and then the palace people waiting on the side led the two into the Qianyuan Palace. According to the palace people, when they entered the Qianyuan Palace, it was about a moment ago, and the harem people went down to do things, which many people can testify to, and the time when the palace people went back was just past the hour. Liu Yuan said, his eyes turned to Wen Mingtang again, "Master Wen came over halfway through the hour, which can also be proved by the people in the queen's palace, the time is all right, and the matter of the Yasukuni Duke and Lord Chang happened in less than that moment." ”

Hearing this, Lin Fei looked at the two palace gate guards standing outside the Qianyuan Palace, and said, "These are human witnesses?" ”

Liu Yuan said "um", looked up, and saw Lin Fei looking at him, seeing him look up, Lin Fei frowned, and asked, "Only these few witnesses?" ”

The two guards and the same guide palace are here! Liu Yuan was a little puzzled.

When he was puzzled, he heard Wen Mingtang speak: "Don't you have a witness from the side?" The palace maids, palace people and guards in the palace are all dressed in the internal affairs yamen system, and it is not easy to distinguish. But the two of them entered the palace in official robes, and the incident happened not long ago, but everyone who saw them had an impression. Speaking of this, Wen Mingtang paused, looked outside, and said to Liu Yuan, "At this hour, it is the time when the palace people and palace maids are busy, coming and going. ”

In fact, like Liu Yuan, Wen Mingtang also didn't understand what Lin Fei meant. Because he wanted to avoid suspicion, he couldn't open his mouth to give orders like he did in ordinary cases, or intervene in investigating the matter himself. If he, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, taught Liu Yuan to handle the case, and Liu Yuan did what he said, I am afraid that even the officials of the entire Dali Temple would have to follow to avoid suspicion, and at that time, there would be only one Zhang Rang in charge of the case.

Lin Fei obviously didn't want this to happen, because many guards were here at this time, and in full view of everyone, Lin Fei could only take the opportunity of "confession" to guide Liu Yuan, but he didn't think that Liu Yuan didn't react, but Wen Mingtang understood what he meant.

Lin Fei glanced at the girl next to him, and his eyes softened.

Wen Mingtang may not have more talent than Liu Yuan or anything, but she has been in the palace for so many years, and she knows some trivial things in the palace, although she doesn't know what Lin Fei is thinking, but looking at the meaning of his words, he seems to care a lot about the time and human evidence, so he reminded Liu Yuan for him.

She has no relatives with the Duke of Yasukuni, and even because of Wen Xuance's relationship, she does not shy away from suspicion.

Liu Yuan nodded suddenly, and was about to do it, but not far away, two imperial doctors from the Imperial Doctor's Department stopped in front of the hall and looked here, as if they were a little hesitant to come over, but before Liu Yuan passed, the two imperial doctors left again.

Liu Yuan wanted to catch up and ask, but because the two imperial doctors walked fast, there was a palace maid in front of him leading the way, and seeing that he was going to the palace of Concubine Jing, Liu Yuan took two steps and did not continue to catch up.

If the matter of this Concubine Jing is delayed, this Concubine Jing does not know what she will do to His Majesty's kindness! At this time, it is better not to make extraneous branches, lest Concubine Jing come in again.

After listening to Lin Fei's reminder, Liu Yuan went down to look for the palace people, palace maids and other witnesses.

After Liu Yuan left, Wen Mingtang looked at Lin Fei who was staring at him, thought for a while, and said: "The palace maids and palace people in the palace are all controlled by the internal affairs yamen...... I'm afraid that the internal affairs yamen won't cooperate, so they won't let him ask at all. ”

When Lin Fei heard this, he nodded and said, "I know this, but the guards in front of the hall were transferred away because they were transferred first, and the guards couldn't find any evidence there." ”

Wen Mingtang thought for a while and said, "If you want to determine the time when they enter the palace, you might as well ask the palace people who are in charge of the flowers and plants in the main road of the imperial city, and when they enter the palace, they should water the flowers and plants there." ”

Lin Fei looked at her and said, "You really know a little bit about the things in the palace." ”

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he wanted to laugh but couldn't help sighing: I didn't think that after staying in the palace for so many years, there would be such a time when it would come in handy!

Sighing, seeing that the guards were a few steps away from them, and no one looked at her and Lin Fei, Wen Mingtang lowered his voice and said to Lin Fei: "Concubine Jing may be pregnant." ”

Lin Fei's body was shocked when he heard the words, and he instinctively looked up at her.

The first emperor died a year earlier, and this Concubine Jing was actually pregnant at this time?

"Zhao Sishan said that when she was found to be wrong and was trained in the past, she added something to the twilight food that she made that was suspected of not being clean, and she smelled something like a tocolytic." Wen Mingtang rubbed his nose, the cook's nose is probably smarter than others, in the palace, fetal protection pills and abortion pills are the most common among various means, and they are the most sensitive to the taste of this medicine.

Lin Fei reacted slightly, and the next sentence from the girl's mouth shocked him again, "The henchman who was suddenly promoted by Concubine Jing's side, the one who poisoned me in the palace, also has the smell of tocolytic pills, I don't know if she is also pregnant." ”
