"This is it." Yu Chen took Duan Ming and Li Wan'er to a wing room of the Imperial City Division, and gently pushed the door of the wing open, revealing the four blood sedan chairs inside: "After the original criminal commander was sent to the prison, the other three blood sedan chairs were sent here. ”

"Thank you." Duan Ming and Li Wan'er thanked Chen, and then walked into the chamber and carefully inspected the blood sedan chair.

"Mr. Duan." Looking at Duan Ming's back, Yu Chen hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Yu has a question that I don't know whether to ask or not. ”

"Commander Yu just asks." Duan Ming said with a smile.

"Yu is really curious, how did Mr. Duan convince His Majesty?" Yu Chen said, "Why would Your Majesty agree to Mr. Duan to investigate this case?" ”

"Is this ......" Duan Ming said in a deep voice while checking the blood sedan chair: "Actually, Your Majesty has never believed that this matter of punishment was done by Qianqiu. ”

"What do you mean?" Yu Chen was very puzzled.

"When Dugu Haoyue originally told His Majesty about the Voodoo villain, His Majesty did believe it." Duan Ming said: "Therefore, Your Majesty put Xing Qianqiu on death row and asked for a final execution after the Mid-Autumn Festival. But His Majesty is not a foolish person, and after that momentum, he will figure out what is going on. ”

"Xing Qianqiu has worked for His Majesty for many years, and he is very close to His Majesty, and His Majesty knows very well who he is. Whether he will believe in that blood god or not, His Majesty knows better than anyone else. ”

"Therefore, later, His Majesty only thought about it slightly, and he already understood that Xing Qianqiu must have been framed."

"But at that time, His Majesty had already ridden a tiger, and if His Majesty had been sentenced at that time, it would be very easy to be criticized, but if he didn't let go, who would investigate the case would be a big difficulty in His Majesty's head."

"It was at this time that I came, and His Majesty took advantage of the situation to push me to this position."

"But no matter whether I can solve this case before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Your Majesty will definitely not take action against Qianqiu."

"What do you mean?" Yu Chen was even more puzzled.

"It's very simple, although Your Majesty is very embarrassed, is it possible to cut off your own arm?" Duan Ming raised his head and said to Chen with a smile: "Killing Qianqiu will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Your Majesty and on the Ming Spiegel Division. Such an impact is more difficult to accept than the damage to the authority of imperial power. ”

"So, if I can find the real culprit before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it will naturally be the best. If not, His Majesty will also take the risk and forcibly release the execution. ”

"I see." Yu Chen nodded: "So I can breathe a sigh of relief." ”

"That's right, don't worry, Xing Qianqiu will definitely be fine." Duan Ming said with a smile.

Then Duan Ming and Li Wan'er checked the blood sedan little by little, including the paper figure on it, and Duan Ming did not let go of every detail.

After checking the blood sedan chair, Duan Ming asked Yu Chen to take them to a few missing concubines to have a look.

Duan Ming doesn't believe that people will disappear for no reason.

Shuning Palace, not far from Changning Palace, was once the residence of Concubine Shu, that is, the first missing Niangniang.

When Concubine Shu was still there, the status of Shu Ning Palace was not low, after all, His Majesty still had a certain affection for Concubine Shu.

But now that Concubine Shu has disappeared, the entire Shuning Palace has fallen into a dead silence, whether it is the servant palace maid or the palace deacon, they are all listless, and their faces are lifeless.

When Duan Ming and the others came here, a glimmer of brilliance appeared on the faces of these people, and they looked at Yu Chen excitedly.

"Commanding Yu." A deacon walked up to Yu Chen quickly: "Is there any news about my mother?" ”

"I'm sorry, not yet." Yu Chen sighed.

"Oh." The deacon's face darkened again.

"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty sent Mr. Duan Ming Duan here to solve the case." Yu Chen hurriedly said: "Mr. Duan is a world-famous detective, and he will definitely be able to find Concubine Shu as soon as possible." ”

"Detective?" The deacon glanced at Duan Ming, and then sighed: "Then the criminal commander of the Spiegel Division is also a detective, what about now?" I went to the prison, and I didn't have a few days to live. ”

"Lao Liu!" Yu Chen frowned: "How do you speak?" ”

"Am I wrong?" Deacon Liu said: "Concubine Shu is missing, we people can't escape the blame, and in the end, we can't say what the end will be, what are we afraid of!" The criminal commander of the Spiegel Division is known as solving strange cases repeatedly, and then he is not planted. Now I don't know where to find such a person, hehe, according to me, it is better to command you. ”

"Since Concubine Shu Niangniang disappeared, whoever cares about the life and death of our Shuning Palace in the entire imperial city will be a good person in command of you!"

"It seems that Deacon Liu has a lot of resentment towards His Majesty." Duan Ming stepped forward and said.

"What? You're going to tell Your Majesty? Go ahead, kill me. Deacon Liu shouted, "Anyway, Niangniang is missing, and I don't want to live anymore." ”

"It's your business whether you want to live or not, you can wipe your neck with a knife or hit your head against the wall. But I still have to solve the case. Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "If you want to die now, you should die quickly, so that I can change to a deacon." If you don't want to die, gather all the people together, and I'll ask them one by one. ”

"You ......" Deacon Liu raised his eyebrows when he heard Duan Ming's words.

"What am I, don't go yet!" Duan Ming said sharply.

"Let's go, Lao Liu." Yu Chen also said.

"Hmph." The corners of Deacon Liu's mouth twitched, and he turned around and went to summon people.

"Okay, Mr. Duan." Li Wan'er gently patted Duan Ming's shoulder from behind, and said with a smile: "This official is quite powerful." ”

"No way, we don't have time to talk to him here." Duan Ming spread his hands.

"Actually, the people under Command Liu are still good." Yu Chen said: "It's just that you also know that in these palaces that have lost their mothers, the people are not doing well. ”

"If it is in an ordinary palace, if the mother dies, some people who have a little way can still change to other palaces through relationships. But like the situation of these four palaces, no one dares to move. ”

"They're just going to have to defend this place to the death. If they can't find a few mothers, they may have to die here forever. ”

"Otherwise, what else can they do?" Duan Ming asked with some confusion: "Aren't these palace maids and eunuchs inseparable from the palace?" ”

"Eunuch? What eunuchs? Li Wan'er looked at Duan Ming suspiciously.

"You don't know?" Duan Ming was also puzzled: "It's a eunuch." ”

"Why did Mr. Duan say this? How can a eunuch enter the palace? Yu Chen also asked suspiciously: "The standard in this palace is the highest, and those with a slight physical disability are not allowed to come in, let alone eunuchs." ”

"Didn't you?" Duan Ming said: "All the people in the palace are able-bodied? What if the palace maid and the servants are gone? ”

"What's that? Then get married. Li Wan'er said: "Usually palace maids and servants have served in the palace for fifteen years, and when they are twenty-five years old, they will be sent out of the palace to talk about marriage. If you have someone you like in advance, you will send it out in advance. ”

"And some of the more intelligent and capable ones may even be sent to be a small magistrate, which can be regarded as a glorious ancestor......
