Chapter 415: The Death of the Third Crown Princess
Tongyun, a key person, was killed by Wu Xue on the day of the incident, and Hu Feifei had no way to interrogate.
He found out that this palace maid was sold into the palace as a maid by an old man a few years ago when she was still the first emperor, and the classics record that this old man is her father.
Hu Feifei sent someone to check the surname recorded in the classics, and found that the old man who sold her into the palace was not her biological father at all, but had just adopted her before she entered the palace.
What's even more strange is that a few months after Tongyun successfully entered the palace, the old man who sold her into the palace fell into the river and drowned because of a stumble, and the clues were almost all broken.
But despite this, Hu Feifei still found something.
According to the people in the old man's village, the old man went to the capital to pick up a daughter, and then he made a fortune, eating and drinking spicy food every day, and lingering in the tavern every day.
Once the old man was drunk and said that he leaked his mouth, and when he mentioned the origin of Tongyun, he mysteriously said that he was a servant girl sent by a big family in the capital, and he had a big background.
The people in the village were curious and asked what kind of big family it was, but the old man refused to say it, only said that he would collect money to do things, and he didn't dare to provoke a big man as a small person.
At this point, Hu Feifei knew that Tongyun was another chess piece sent to the palace, who was the family that sent her to the palace, and after many years, the human and material evidence was gone, but I was afraid that it would not be able to be found.
But one thing can be confirmed, the person who sent Tongyun into the palace must be a concubine in the harem.
This person is scheming, and before the emperor ascended the throne, he had buried chess pieces and lurked beside the favored Concubine Kang, which was used by him until today.
And this person is very likely to be the person who has been determined to enter the East Palace when the prince first chose a concubine, because the time when Tongyun entered the palace was not much different from the prince's first choice of concubine.
The range here is much smaller in a circle, and there are Concubine Xie and Concubine Zhao among them.
Wei Chigong did not deny it or agree after hearing this.
He did not deny that it was indeed possible that it was the concubine who was determined to enter the East Palace in the first place, but he could not rule out other possibilities.
After all, the crown prince's selection of concubines was watched by everyone, and the people who were selected on the list were closely watched by all parties, and it was too risky to arrange people to enter the palace at this juncture.
He thinks that there is one kind of person who cannot be ignored, and that is the person who was sure that he would be able to enter the palace.
Whether it is the case of Jinghongdian or the planting of Taiye Lake, it is enough to see that the people behind the scenes have a wide range of collusion and great ambitions.
It is not surprising that such an artificial scheming, step by step, and the confidence that he can enter the palace and lay out in advance.
Wei Chigong suspected that this person might have coveted the position of the crown princess.
The three crown princesses of that year, all three died unexpectedly, Wei Chigong suspected that there was something strange at that time, he never believed in the hard way, but he focused on investigating corrupt officials and corrupt officials back then, and the three quasi-fathers-in-law were all listed.
So even if he knew that something was wrong, he didn't have time to take care of it and didn't study it in detail, in the end, the three crown princesses were destined to not enter the palace, and they would be buried with the family in the end.
Now that I think about it, the accident of these three princesses is very similar to the scene of an accident when someone in the palace is favored now.
Wei Chigong thought that he had already made a judgment here, and immediately ordered: "Thoroughly investigate whether the death of the three crown princesses was harmed by people, and find out the strangeness and connection." ”
If he was really harmed, this made the scheming person have a lot of plans, and he has a hunch that this person is the same as the person who is stirring up the storm in the palace today, and if he is allowed to develop, it will inevitably cause greater disasters.
