Zhu Jianshen asked tentatively, but the man leaned on the chair and did not move. The forbidden army also thought it was strange, but no one dared to step forward.

Last night, there was a shocking change in the palace, and it was already rumored. Although it is just hearsay, just by the murderer's killing method last night, you can know that the murderer must be a martial arts master.

The black shadow did not move, but everyone did not dare to step forward, drawing their swords and waiting for battle.

Zhu Jianshen saw that the man was still not moving, so he stiffened his head and walked towards him. The forbidden army hurriedly dissuaded, but Zhu Jianshen acted as if he hadn't heard.

Walking forward, Zhu Jianshen was dumbfounded and said, "How many fathers-in-law? ”

I saw Duofu sitting on the dragon chair with a hideous face, motionless! Zhu Jianshen stepped forward to check his pulse, and as soon as his fingers touched his neck, he felt a cold feeling spread from his fingertips all over his body.

Duofu has lost his breath, and his body is cold.

The forbidden army realized that it was not the murderer who was sitting on the dragon chair, but Duofu. Apparently Dofo had been killed.

Cao He heard about this, Pegasus rushed over, and just entered the Wenhua Hall and saw Zhu Jianshen. This is the last person he wants to see, and there is a human life just after taking over the case.

This time, when I heard that the murder happened in the Wenhua Palace, I was even more distressed. Last night, the murderer committed murder outside the Wenhua Hall and exposed the body outside the Wenhua Palace, and this time the murderer was even more rampant, directly committing murder in the Wenhua Palace. This time, the emperor must be furious.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor!" Cao He knelt down and said.

Zhu Jianshen smiled slightly: "Less nonsense, go and investigate the case!" ”

Cao He was even more apprehensive in his heart, Zhu Jianshen, who was not angry, was the most terrifying! He didn't dare to stay, so he had to rush in to check on Dofu's body.

At this time, Wen Tinghan had already arrived, and when he saw Cao He, he said: "Like the thirteen palace maids, they were all suffocated by ropes!" ”

Cao He was silent, looking at Duofu who had been dead for a long time in front of him, only to see that his face was hideous and terrifying when he died, and his face was black and purple as if he had been poisoned.

Cao He's eyes fell on Duofu's hand, only to see that Duofu had half of his arm cut off, and he was holding a hairpin in his other hand, which was obviously put by someone else.

Could it be the murderer? If it is really the murderer's doing, it shows his arrogance; But no hairpins were found on those palace servants.

Cao He didn't know that in fact, the hairpin on the palace servant was picked up by Duofu last night.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Jianshen suddenly said angrily: "This thief is very rampant, Cao He!" I limit you to arrest the murderer within ten days, and you will be beheaded if you miss the deadline! ”

Cao He and Wen Tinghan saw that the emperor was so resolute, and they didn't dare to ask for forgiveness for the number of days, so they had to agree.

Zhu Jianshen then instructed: "Bury more fathers-in-law, and relatives at home will give more care!" ”

At night, Zhu Jianshen summoned Cao Qin, the governor of Dongchang, in the Wenhua Palace, this Cao Qin is also Cao Jixiang's righteous son, due to Cao Jixiang's serious illness, Cao Qin acted as the governor of Dongchang.

Cao Qin knelt down to obey orders, and Zhu Jianshen asked: "Recently, there have been many murders in the palace, can the Qing family know?" ”

Cao Qin replied respectfully: "I have heard a little, the palace is terrified, and everyone is in danger!" ”

Zhu Jianshen sighed and said, "Not bad! Just now, in the position where I was sitting, my father-in-law died tragically. ”

Cao Qin was horrified.

"From now on, I will order you to do the same with the three law divisions and Jinyiwei in this case, and the one who solves the case first will be rewarded!" Zhu saw the deep color of the road.

Cao Qin bowed his head suddenly, and said in a loud voice: "The minister is willing to lead the horse for the emperor, and smear the liver and brain for my Ming foundation, and rest until death!" ”

"I don't want you to lead the horse, and I don't want you to be on the ground. I want you to solve the case! Do you understand? ”

"The minister understands!" Cao Qin thought to himself: This case actually used the three reconnaissance agencies of the Three Law Division, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang, which is the first case since the founding of the People's Republic of China. What's more, these three have always been at odds, so I don't know what disputes they will provoke.

Cao Qin received the order, and immediately began to investigate the case, mobilized the news of the large and small blockers and soldiers in the East Factory, and comprehensively investigated the three palaces and six courtyards without letting go of any clues, and did not dare to slack off at all. In the end, the spearhead was pointed directly at Zhaodeok Palace.

The news of the Dongchang investigation reached the ears of Cao He and Zhou Yangqiu within half a day.

Cao He thought to himself: In the past few years, it has been his East Factory that has become bigger, and now the East Factory has been involved in this case. If you ask him to find out something, it will be difficult to turn over!

Cao He said to Zhou Yangqiu: "Lord Zhou! After all, the emperor can't trust us, and it is still Dongchang who overwhelms Jinyiwei. Cao He's words are true, since Yongle Ye set up the East Factory, the East Factory has been gaining momentum everywhere, and has been forcibly pressing Jinyiwei and cannot be reused.

Zhou Yangqiu sneered: "My Jinyi Wei is to assist Master Cao!" It's not that the emperor doesn't trust Jinyiwei, but he doesn't trust the ability of your three law divisions! ”

Cao He smiled and didn't argue anything: "What Lord Zhou said is reasonable!" According to the adult's opinion, let him call the wind and rain in the east factory? ”

Zhou Yangqiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does Lord Cao mean......"

Cao He laughed loudly, and said in Zhou Yangqiu's ear: "It's better for our two families to join forces and point their swords at one side...... How is it? ”

Zhou Yangqiu said: "In this way, we can suppress the arrogance of those eunuchs, and we can help us turn over!" ”

Just listen to the two of them discuss like this, hold down and don't watch.

On that day, Cao Qin led a team of Dongchang guards straight to Zhaode Palace.

Zhaode Palace is where Emperor Zhu Jianshen's favorite concubine Wan Guifei lives, and Wan Guifei's temper is also very strong, and no one can get any benefit from Wan Guifei.

At this time, Concubine Wan Guifei saw that the palace was full of Dongchang's servants, and then ordered someone to carry the prince into the inner hall. went out alone to deal with it: "You wait for the slave to dare to come to Zhaode Palace to make trouble!" ”

Although Wan Guifei is a woman, she is also a character who has seen the world and experienced strong winds and waves.

Cao Qin stepped forward and said, "Cao Qin, the governor of Dongchang, is ordered to investigate the case!" I hope that the concubine will be convenient! ”

Wan Guifei saw that Cao Qin was very frivolous, and she didn't take her own concubine in her eyes at all. I was very annoyed in my heart, and I was about to open my mouth, but the maid next to me scolded: "Presumptuous! Do you know what kind of place this is, how can you Zhaode Palace be checked if you eunuchs want to? ”

Cao Qin still bent down and bowed, respectful. But in the blink of an eye, the knife was drawn back into the sheath, and the maid was suddenly in a different place, and blood splattered incessantly.

The servants in the palace were shocked, and Concubine Wan didn't expect Cao Qin to be so rude, and she was also frightened.

"It's not our turn for a little palace maid to tell me!"

"Cao Qin! How daring! Even Cao Jixiang wouldn't dare to do this with me! Committing murder in this Zhaode Palace, is there still a royal law in his eyes? ”

"Wang Fa? Since Yongle Ye set up the East Factory, Wang Fa is not restricted! Talk about the king's law! Cao Qin turned to the eunuch behind him, "Shang Ming! Take people to surround Zhaode Palace, and don't let a single palace servant go! ”

Shang Ming was ordered to go, and from time to time gathered all the palace servants in the Zhaode Palace to the front hall to wait for Cao Qin's interrogation.

Cao Qin swept his eyes carefully and asked loudly, "Where is the steward of Zhaode Palace?" ”

There was silence for a while, and an old eunuch came out of the crowd, I don't know whether it was because he was frightened or because he was old and frail, and he walked staggeringly and trembling.

The old eunuch said in a hoarse voice: "The old slave is! ”

"Let's ask you, do you know the size of the palace servants in this Zhaode Palace?"

"Thirty-three people in total!"

"Why are there only twenty people here?"

Cao Qin suddenly shouted, and the old eunuch shook violently, "plopped" to his knees, and wailed bitterly: "Those thirteen palace servants have been killed last night!" ”

Cao Qin looked at the old eunuch in front of him and asked, "What are these people doing in Wenhua Palace?" ”

"These people were sent by the palace to invite the emperor to sleep in the palace!" Wan Guifei said suddenly.

Cao Qin smiled all over his face: "Dare to ask Niangniang, when was it sent?" ”

"Unitary time!"

Cao Qin thought about it: The body was found in the time, there was a journey of more than half an hour from Zhaode Palace to Wenhua Palace, and the murderer killed thirteen people and hung them outside Wenhua Hall in such a short time, how could this be possible!

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the people of the Jinyi Guard surrounding him. They were followed by Cao He and Zhou Yangqiu.

Cao Qin was still wondering how the two of them could come together. I saw that after the two of them saluted Wan Guifei, they asked him about their guilt.

"Duke Cao, Concubine Wan's bedroom is the boundary of your wilderness? In this Zhaode Palace, I killed the palace people, and I can put the law of the Ming Dynasty in my eyes! Zhou Yangqiu reprimanded.

Cao Qin was about to fight back, but at this time Cao He said: "Hugh wants to press me with Yongle Ye!" The sluggishness of the dynasty is all done by your group of eunuchs, who are rampant in the court, arrogant and domineering in the court, making the court and the central government smoky, and the people outside the court are not happy, all of which are your credit! You are not ashamed, but proud. It's really a ridicule of the ministers of the DPRK and China! ”

Cao Qin lowered his head and smiled without saying a word: It turns out that these two have already discussed! You're going to be my enemy!

The soldiers behind Cao Qin were all glaring angrily, like wolves and tigers, drawing their swords and waiting for battle.

The Jinyi guard behind Zhou Cao and the others was not to be outdone, and the two sides were facing each other like fire and water, and they were about to merge in this Zhaode Palace!

"The emperor has arrived!" When everyone heard this, they immediately bowed down and knelt down to greet the holy driver.

"Today's Zhaode Palace is really lively!" Zhu Jianshen smiled instead of being angry.

Everyone knew that Zhu Jianshen was already furious at this time.

"You don't wait to investigate the case, but you are here to fight and win, am I too conniving with you!" The faces of the people were like earth, and their legs were shaky like chaff.

At this time, Zhu saw Shenlong's body bowing, staring at Cao Qin and said: "If you investigate the case, you will investigate the case, and it will not be good to hurt people!" Today I will put your dog's head on your shoulders, and if there is any more infighting, I will not spare it! ”

When everyone heard about the amnesty, they withdrew from Zhaode Palace one after another, and at this time, the servants in the palace cleaned up the inside and outside and waited outside the palace.

The turmoil was calm, but Wan Guifei leaned on at this time, tilted her head to one side, and played a little temper with Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen had nothing to do with her, so he had to pretend to be angry and scolded: "If it is really Cao Qin's slave who scared Concubine Ai, I will let people cut off his head now to relieve Concubine Ai's anger!" ”

Wan Guifei still said angrily: "Cao Qin, the governor of Dongchang, is your right-hand man, are you really willing to do it?" ”

Zhu Jianshen said with a nonchalant look: "So what's the matter? It's just a Dongchang governor! Kill and change again, why is this reluctant? ”

"No! Cao Jixiang's father and son are the old ministers relied on by the first emperor, and they are quite powerful in the court. If the emperor killed Cao Qin easily, Cao Jixiang would not give up, and the emperor would be passive at that time! After all, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and the foundation of the DPRK and China has not yet been solidified, so you can't get rid of these old ministers first! ”

Zhu Jianshen smiled and said: "That concubine has forgiven Cao Qin and forgiven me!" ”

Wan Guifei suddenly realized, and said coquettishly: "I've fallen for you again!" ”

Zhu Jianshen picked up the woman in front of him, this woman's good youth had passed, but Zhu Jianshen did not dislike it. Because of the sacrifice of life and death in his dark childhood, it was extremely difficult to go all the way, and he cherished it very much. Because this woman's inseparability was the only ray of light in his dark childhood, although they were twenty-two years apart, she was already in the prime of life in Zhu Jianshen's eyes.

Zhu Jianshen hugged Wan Guifei to the dragon couch and pulled down the curtains......

Exactly: the war in Zhaode Palace subsided, and the two Tongzhi investigated the case privately. The clues on the corpse first appeared, and the dead body reappeared in the Jinyi Mansion.
