"Oh, that's right." Duan Ming nodded, it seemed that the rules of this world were indeed a little different from the original world.

But this is understandable, after all, are there two worlds?

But what Duan Ming was even more puzzled in his heart was, wasn't the emperor afraid that these "handsome" servants would give him a green hat or something?

Shaking his head, he threw out the thoughts in his head, and then Duan Ming, Li Wan'er, and Yu Chen walked into Shuning Palace.

Soon, all the subordinates of Shuning Palace had gathered in the Shuning Hall under the convening of Deacon Liu, which was the largest hall in Shuning Palace.

"Are these people?" Duan Ming looked at the more than twenty people in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly: "Did someone leave?" ”

"Nope." Yu Chen replied: "Concubine Shu likes to be clean very much, and she doesn't like to be served very much, so there have always been only these people. Moreover, these people are cleaning and cleaning on weekdays, and only when His Majesty comes here, will they come forward to serve. ”

"That's right." Duan Ming nodded.

"Commander Yu, everyone has already called for it." Deacon Liu said to Yu Chen.

"Very good, you're very productive." Duan Ming didn't care about Deacon Liu's neglect, but slowly walked among the people, his eyes constantly patrolling everyone's bodies.

When everyone felt Duan Ming's gaze, their bodies couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It seems that Duan Ming's gaze has the ability to penetrate people's hearts.

"You." Suddenly, Duan Ming stopped in front of a maid: "What's your name?" ”

"Spring, spring peach." The maid said hurriedly.

"Tell me, what were you doing on the day Concubine Shu disappeared?" Duan Ming said in a deep voice.

"I, I'm sleeping." Chun Tao said.

"Just sleeping?" Duan Ming smiled and said, "Really, it's just sleeping!" ”

"I, I'm ......" Chun Tao's body trembled violently, and her eyes involuntarily looked at the other servant.

"Ugh." Duan Ming sighed lightly and said in a deep voice: "Yu Chen, let the people from the Imperial City Division come over and drag this Chun Tao out for a good interrogation, if you still refuse to tell the truth, it doesn't matter if you kill you." ”

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" As soon as she heard this, Chun Tao hurriedly knelt on the ground, her face was full of tears, and she kept kowtowing to Duan Ming: "Please, don't." ”

"Your Excellency!" The servant who had been watched by Chun Tao before also stood up and knelt on the ground: "It's me, Chun Tao was with me that night." ”

"Name." Duan Ming didn't seem to have any surprise on his face, and said in a deep voice.

"I, my name is Baiye." The servant said.

"Very well, then you can tell me what happened that night." Duan Ming came to the seat of the main hall and sat down, his tone was extremely calm: "Don't hide anything, otherwise the two of you will go together." ”

"Yes, yes!" Chun Tao and Baiye hurriedly said.

Afterwards, Chun Tao and Baiye hurriedly told all the things that night.

"You mean, you've been in the backyard of Shuning Palace since the time of the Emperor, right?" Duan Ming nodded.

"That's right. We've always been there. Baiye said hurriedly.

"Didn't hear anything strange?" Duan Ming asked again.

"No, it was very quiet that night." Chun Tao replied, "We, we are still afraid of being discovered, so we pay extra attention. ”

"Good." Duan Ming nodded, and then looked at Deacon Liu on the side: "Find me a room and let you people come in one by one." Yu Chen, you are watching from the outside, and they are not allowed to talk to each other. ”

"Okay." Yu Chen nodded.

Soon Deacon Liu found a room for Duan Ming, and as soon as she entered the room, Li Wan'er hurriedly asked, "Mr. Duan, how do you know that Chun Tao has something to do with Baiye?" ”

"It's very simple, when I was observing, I found that Chun Tao's gaze had been glancing in the direction of the hundred leaves, intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, Chun Tao has a bracelet on her hand that no other maid has. And there is a faint fragrance on the body of the shutter. Duan Ming said.

"I guess there should be a sachet on the body, but except for some sons, men rarely wear sachets or anything like that." Duan Ming said: "In this case, the sachet on Baiye's body should be a gift from his lover." ”

"Linked to Chun Tao's gaze, I can roughly guess that Chun Tao has something to do with Baiye. And when I asked about Chun Momo, Baiye looked even more nervous, which confirmed my suspicion. ”

"But it's strange, since they are in love, why don't they declare and leave?" Li Wan'er said suspiciously.

"After all, the money in the palace is better than the money outside." Duan Ming said with a smile: "And this Shuning Palace is very leisurely, and he is not very tired on weekdays, so he is naturally reluctant to leave." ”

"Okay." Li Wan'er nodded: "Is what you said to Yu Chen before true?" Is Your Majesty really not going to kill Brother Xing? ”

"I don't know." Duan Ming shook his head: "But it's very likely." ”

"That's great." Li Wan'er let out a long breath.

After Duan Ming and Li Wan'er found a place to sit down, Duan Ming shouted, and then Commander Liu asked people to walk in one after another.

Duan Ming asked these people in detail whether anything special happened on the day of Concubine Shu's disappearance, or whether they heard or saw anything abnormal.

But just like what told Song Rengui and Xing Qianqiu before, in the eyes of these people, there was nothing abnormal that day.

"What should I do?" After everyone left, Li Wan'er frowned and looked at Duan Ming: "There is still no clue." ”

"No, no anomaly is the biggest anomaly." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "You think, although the blood sedan chair case did not spread to the outside world at that time, for Concubine Shu, as a party to it, she must know. ”

"But, now that you know, why doesn't Concubine Shu have any nervousness or anything like that?"

"Because Concubine Shu believes that the palace is safe?" Li Wan'er thought for a moment and said.

"Safe? The blood sedan chair can enter the imperial garden silently, so is it really safe? Duan Ming shook his head: "There must be something wrong inside." ”

"How's it going, is there a catch?" At this time, Yu Chen walked in: "The servants have all come in, and I have seen it, they have no communication." ”

"Well, in this palace, are there any secret passages, back doors, wells, etc.?" Duan Ming asked.

"I haven't heard of the secret passage or the back door." Yu Chen shook his head: "But there is indeed a well." ”

"Let's go, take me to see it." Duan Ming nodded, then called Deacon Liu and came to the backyard of Shuning Palace together.

Just like Concubine Shu's character, the backyard of Shuning Palace is very simple, with only a few laurel trees hanging with snow.

And between these laurel trees, there is a well, lonely in the middle of the courtyard......
