Chapter 602: The True Purpose of the Assassins

"It's not a big deal, what's there to hide?"

Yang Huaimin sneered and continued Gu Qingjue's words: "That's right, it's not a big deal, I didn't think to talk about it." ”

"Then let's talk about what kind of pastries you bought, where you bought them, how much money, we will send someone to check, and after you finish it, Vice Yang will know that you can go back to Renming Hall to continue your errand."

I just said that I was going to buy snacks, but I was talking nonsense.

He brought snacks back that day, it was just to hide people's eyes, the man prepared it for him in advance, he didn't have time to show his face at the pastry shop because it was too late.

Yang Huaimin couldn't provide conclusive evidence, but he still insisted that Concubine Zhang Guifei missed her former home very much, and now she couldn't leave the palace, so she asked him to go back to see it on her behalf.

Isn't that?

Although the house in Guanyinqiao was not sold, Zhang Guifei lived there for only a few days, and she entered the palace when she was eight years old.

What is there to think about.

At this time, Zhang Wanqing came to the side hall of their temporary trial with her pregnant belly, and she had to let Bao Zheng release her.

After the two saluted Zhang Guifei, they did not back down: "Guifei Niangniang, we are investigating this assassination case on the order of the official family, even if Niangniang is the guarantor, we can't let it." ”

"Master Bao, you have figured it out, Yang Huaimin is my person."

"He is very suspicious, even if he is a mother, it is impossible for the official to let people go like this. Even if the official family comes, it can't! ”

This sentence directly blocked Zhang Wanqing's road.

"He left the palace that day, he was ordered by me, and he reported to me when he returned late, how did he become a suspect in the assassination of the official's family, Lord Bao, you can't indiscriminately splash this sewage on the people around me because you hate my uncle."

"Niangniang is cautious."

Zhang Wanqing was so angry that her chest hurt.

What can she do if she seals the concubine, the people who should look down on her still look down on her, and the people who want to protect still can't protect her.

Like her three children who died, she couldn't keep any of them.

Zhang Wanqing held her stomach and glanced at Yang Huaimin, so she could only go back to Renming Hall for the time being.

Yang Huaimin was taken into custody.

Bao Zheng and Gu Qingjue continued to investigate who the person who came into contact with Yang Huaimin that day.

This investigation actually directly found the Li Mansion.

Li Mansion.

The maiden family of the official family's mother.

Li Wei's brother Li Ju is deeply involved in this matter.

Li Wei is the cousin of the official family, the sixth son of his uncle Li Yonghe, the official family has always wanted him to be a son-in-law, and wanted to marry Princess Fukang directly several times, but Princess Fukang was very repulsive to Li Wei, and Zhang Guifei also said casually, what does it mean to not like marrying.

Zhao Zhen has been dragging on and not giving the marriage decree.

It is recorded in the history books that the nine-year-old Princess Fukang was married to Li Wei, and now Princess Fukang is ten years old, and she has not yet made an engagement decree, and I don't know if she will marry Li Wei in the future.

If you are a bystander, you must have some concerns.

Bao Zheng found out about the Li family and asked Dong Ping to bring Li Ju into the palace for interrogation without hesitation.

Li Ju is twenty years old and serves in the inner sanctum.

At the time of the incident, he had already returned home from duty, and it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with him, but after interrogation by the two, Li Ju confessed a very important matter.

It was two days before the assassination that Li Ju drank in Mingyue Tower, and because he drank too much, he slept in Mingyue Tower that night.

However, he woke up once and found that the key he had brought with him was missing.

At that time, he was directly scared awake by the wine.

I searched all the way in the room, and finally found the key in the position of the window against the wall.

"Lord Bao, Master Gu, I just forgot to put the key in the place on duty and took it out of the palace gate directly, but this assassination really has nothing to do with me, I'm the cousin of the official family, there is no reason to make this one!"

As soon as Li Ju finished speaking, he saw Gu Qingjue holding a key in his hand.

Take a closer look, why is it so familiar?

"Take a closer look to see if it's the key you usually watch."

Gu Qingjue's words made Li Ju instantly nervous.

I don't know if this key was taken by Gu Qingjue from the place on duty, or if it was ......

No, it won't.

Li Ju took the key and looked carefully at the texture of the key, the texture and the gear shaft are the same, the only difference is that this key looks newer than the key they usually hold.

"This key was found in the grass near the palace wall, and the official sent someone to check it, and the key in the inner hall has always been in the hands of the guard."

Gu Qingjue looked at Li Ju: "Therefore, the only time it is possible to lose the key and be copied by the thief is the time when you took it out of the palace without permission and stayed overnight." ”

Li Ju was paralyzed to the ground in fright.

The inner sanctum is a very important place where officials summon ministers and handle state affairs.

If someone enters this place, what will happen to you......

"Then, didn't you go to Qingshou Palace to assassinate Your Majesty at this moment, you shouldn't be going to the inner hall, right?"

Gu Qingjue sneered: "Can you be sure that there were only three assassins that night?" ”

No.

Li Ju's tears burst out instantly.

"I really didn't mean to, just one time, I never went out of the palace with a key before."

Bao Zheng was also a little confused.

Isn't it a check assassin?

No matter how I checked it, the direction changed, and the key to this inner temple was lost, which was as serious as the assassination of the official family.

"Lord Bao, the lower officials think that finding out the people who entered and exited the Mingyue Tower that day may be able to find out who took the key and copied the key."

Bao Zheng nodded.

In this way, they can further find out whether the real purpose of this assassination is to cover people's eyes and ears and lead all the guards to Qingshou Palace, and the real purpose is to rush to the inner hall......

Cao Yuyan of Qingshou Palace stroked her stomach with a gentle expression.

It was her first time as a mother.

I didn't expect pregnancy to be like this.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she could feel the slight movement of the little one in her belly.

"Niangniang, Renming Hall went to find Lord Bao and Master Gu in the morning, probably to intercede for Vice Yang Duzhi, but Lord Bao didn't give that face, and Vice Yang Duzhi is still being detained in the side hall."

Cao Yuyan nodded and continued to touch her stomach.

"Niangniang, why don't you care about this at all? I heard Mr. Zhang say that there are two voices in the DPRK and China, and one of them is very unfavorable to you. ”

Cao Yuyan finally raised her head and looked at Mother Rong.

"Let's listen to what they are talking about, and what does this have to do with me?"

"The mother-in-law also heard from Mr. Zhang, the deputy prefect of the Imperial Court and the same governor of the Imperial Court, Wang Zhen, said that this matter was instructed by the mother, otherwise the official family would rest in the Renming Palace on weekdays, why could the assassin go straight to the Qingshou Palace accurately when the official family rested in the Qingshou Palace that night."
