Pei Wuyi knocked on the stone table again, drawing Qi Jinglin's attention back.

"Your Royal Highness, presumably this Zhao Gonggong doesn't know the reason for this, but as the father-in-law in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, he knows that the four deceased had been out of the palace every month before they were killed, and they had been in contact with the people of Guanhua Palace before and after leaving the palace, and even directly with Tang Jieyu, so he guessed that the death of the four people might be related to Tang Jieyu."

Qi Jinglin sighed and nodded, "Yes, the palace has long heard that the eunuchs in charge of the Internal Affairs Office tend to be inflammatory, protect themselves, and love money like life." ”

Yu Qingfeng was an octave high, "In the past, Gonggong Zhao remained silent, it was better to have more than one thing. Now that the case is in front of His Royal Highness, Master Pei ordered a thorough investigation, and Gonggong Zhao knew that it was difficult to hide the matter, so he thought of using this opportunity to go to Tang Jieyu to ask for credit. Time was pressing, and he didn't even want to stay to listen to me after asking these four palace people, confirming that they were indeed tight-lipped, and then he was in a hurry to go to Guanhua Palace. ”

Qi Jinglin slapped the stone table and sighed: "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, he is in a hurry to invite credit, but he doesn't know that he is in a hurry to send him to death." ”

"And the most important thing, Kong Ming Lantern ......" Pei Wuyi took advantage of Yu Qingfeng's unpreparedness to seize the opportunity and mentioned Kong Ming Lantern first.

"Kong Ming's lantern was not put by the murderer Tang Jieyu, and the purpose is not to pay tribute," Yu Qingfeng hurriedly interrupted Pei Wuyi, the highlight of her reasoning must not be robbed, "After the bodies of the three deceased were salvaged and discarded in mass graves, someone had let Kong Minglantern go, which is the key to mentioning my reasoning." ”

"Oh?" Qi Jinglin really raised his interest and paid attention to Yu Qingfeng again.

Yu Qingfeng stared at Pei Wuyi closely, for fear of being preempted by his mouth, and could no longer care about the coquettish tone and clip sound, and spoke very quickly.

"Naturally, the lover will receive the money when it is sent out, let's take the first Chunxi murder as an example, when Tang Jieyu made up her mind to kill Chunxi, she had already found the next messenger, that is, Xiaocui. The score she asked Xiaocui to send out of the palace concealed an instruction for the lover to be stationed near the mass grave in the next few days. ”

Qi Jinglin's face turned pale, obviously he had already guessed what was going on, and retched twice.

Yu Qingfeng continued: "The palace maid has to pass through the palace gate when she leaves the palace, and if the palace maid carries a large amount of silver money or valuable jewelry, she will definitely be found and reported, so Tang Jieyu can only send a small amount to the palace every month. And if it is through the corpse, then even if it is a precious tribute given by His Majesty, such as the Night Pearl that was presented by the East China Sea not long ago, it is not a problem. ”

"That Kong Ming Lantern ......" Qi Jinglin pressed his stomach to divert his attention.

"Kong Ming's lantern was put by Tang Jieyu's lover, the purpose is naturally not to pay tribute to the dead, or to fear the revenge of ghosts, he is just to send a signal to Tang Jieyu in the palace, informing him that he has received the valuable royal treasure given to him by Tang Jieyu and hidden in the corpse."

Yu Qingfeng couldn't control it, and the scene of a man in full armor, disemboweling a rotten corpse near a mass grave, holding a filthy baby, his eyes glowing, and smirking proudly flashed in his mind.

Afterwards, the man also lit the Kong Ming lantern he brought and watched the sky lantern rise into the sky.

Tang Jieyu in the palace also enjoyed a lamp with her sweetheart in Guanhua Palace, full of comfort and satisfaction.

This is probably the worst time that Kong Ming's lantern has been blackened.

"Your Highness, Master Pei, my reasoning is indeed bold, but it is indeed easy to verify, you only need to search Tang Jieyu's Guanhua Palace, and if you can't find the rare treasures rewarded by Your Majesty, it is evidence; For an autopsy, as long as the royal gift can be found in Sun Qiaofen's body, it is evidence; Sending people to guard the mass grave tonight is evidence as long as a man carrying a Kong Ming lantern can be captured, fully armed and carrying a disemboweling weapon. ”

Qi Jinglin turned to Pei Wuyi and asked, "Pei Qing, in your opinion, what did this maid say?" ”

Pei Wuyi smiled helplessly, "This girl's mouth is very fast." ”

Yu Qingfeng: Who told you to use me as a tool for trial and error? The credit will go to you in the end, and of course I have to hurry up and show myself and save my ass and my life.

"Your Royal Highness, after all, this matter involves Tang Jieyu, and the minister thinks that he should wait for the results of the autopsy first, and if it is confirmed that the treasures in the palace are hidden in the corpse, he will go to the mass grave tonight; If a suspicious man is caught tonight, he will show His Majesty again tomorrow morning and go to Guanhua Palace to search. Of course, it is best to send someone to secretly pay attention to every move of Guanhua Palace at this moment, so as not to let someone report the news, so that no one will go to the mass grave tonight. ”

"It is worthy of the Dali Siqing appointed by his father," Qi Jinglin smiled approvingly, "just do what Pei Qing said." ”

The corpse had been carried away for some time, and after a cup of tea, a little eunuch hurriedly came to report: "His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, Master Pei, did an autopsy and found a jade Ruyi, which was confirmed by the Internal Affairs Office that it was Tang Jieyu's birthday half a month ago, a gift from His Majesty." ”

Yu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and the next task was to hug Pei Wuyi's thigh and let him go and get an antidote for himself.

"Pei Qing, fortunately I have you on this trip, otherwise the serial murder case in this palace would not have been solved so easily. If you let someone with ill intentions continue to accompany your father's side......" Qi Jinglin shook his head with a wry smile, "Although this case has not yet been decided, this palace believes in your judgment." I want to reward my deeds in advance. Pei Qing, say, what reward do you want? ”

Pei Wuxian shook his head humbly, but he really lowered his head in thought.

Yu Qingfeng was so anxious that she couldn't wait to jump in front of Qi Jinglin, and she should be rewarded for her meritorious deeds, right? Is it really just a matter of atonement?

"Your Highness, the minister doesn't dare to take credit, this case, the first credit should be counted on Yu Qingfeng." Pei Wuyi turned his head to look at Yu Qingfeng.

This guy has a bit of a conscience.

"This is exactly what this palace admires about Pei Qing, a little maidservant, Pei Qing can see through that she has such a talent and give her such an opportunity."

"Where, where."

Yu Qingfeng's face is full of black lines, these two people are going to start the mutual support mode?

"In fact, the minister just wanted to understand the case through Yu Qingfeng's hands, and in addition, he also had a little selfishness." Pei Wuyi changed his words and looked at Yu Qingfeng with a smile.

"Oh? Selfishness? ”

"Yes, Your Highness still remembers the Duanzhou Yang family's extermination case that the minister just mentioned to you, right?"

"Of course, the case file submitted by Duanzhou, the legend is that the woman who was bullied by the only son of the Yang family asked the fox fairy to take revenge, and overnight, 16 members of the Yang family died tragically at home, leaving a case of red fox fur at the scene. When Pei Qing just talked about it, Bengong was extremely curious. ”

"The minister plans to go to Duanzhou in the near future to re-investigate the case thoroughly," Pei Wuyi pointed to Yu Qingfeng, "This trip is tiring, and there is still a lack of a clever servant girl by the minister's side, one is to take care of food and daily life, and the other is to help find out the news." Selfishness is to find a suitable candidate, and this Yu Qingfeng has something in his head, and he thinks that it is just right. ”

Qi Jinglin laughed heartily, "It's just a maidservant, Pei Qing wants to take it." But that doesn't count as a reward. The palace still wants to reward Pei Qing......"

"Your Highness, if Your Highness insists on rewarding, the minister dares to ask for an exceptional appointment of the authority of the six official positions of Dali Temple." Pei Wuyi put away the humble smile just now, extremely solemn.

"Pei Qing, you are Dali Siqing, and the right to appoint and remove subordinates from official positions is yours."

Seeing that Qi Jinglin didn't grasp the point, Pei Wuyi gently mentioned, "Exceptional." ”

"Exceptional ......" Qi Jinglin thought thoughtfully, thought for a moment and laughed, "No problem, this palace promises that I will fully support Pei Qing at that time." ”

"Your Highness."
