However, Chen Xiangbei didn't panic, nodded and said: "Gonggong Liu, yes, Yang Guifei sent someone to Huaqing Palace to invite Li Guifei, saying that some treasures were sent from southern Xinjiang, and they tasted and palmed together." ”

Liu Shimian did not change his color, and asked again: "Baby? What are they? ”

"There are the night pearls of southern Xinjiang, and the bananas that are abundant in southern Xinjiang."

Chen Xiangbei replied truthfully.

Liu Shi then asked, "Then have you noticed anything wrong with Yang Guifei?" ”

Chen Xiangbei paused, making Liu Shi feel that he was thinking, and realized that Liu Shi did not sacrifice the qi of the pig, so he said: "At that time, Yang Guifei and Li Guifei had a very happy conversation, and they were still playing with spears in the courtyard, and they were in good physical condition, and there was nothing strange about it. ”

Liu Shi nodded, feeling a deep headache.

I couldn't find the slightest clue in favor of it.

Just as Liu Shi was feeling sad, someone outside suddenly shouted, the voice was sharp and terrifying, followed by a series of footsteps rushing to the place where the sound came.

"What's the noise?" Liu Shi was really pondering, but he was interrupted by someone, and he got up and walked outside the door.

It just so happened that at this time, a staff member of the East Factory passed by, and when he saw Liu Shihou, he hurriedly explained: "Oh no, Father-in-law Liu!" Something big happened in the harem again! ”

"What?" Liu Shi frowned.

"Another noble concubine died violently for no reason!"

"When?"

"Just now!"

"Who is the deceased?"

"The eldest daughter of Wu Zheng, the general of Zhendong, Marquis Wu, Concubine Wu!"

After hearing this sudden news, Liu Shi's whole person couldn't help but stumble, and his mind seemed to be suddenly emptied.

Fortunately, Chen Xiangbei and Xiao Yangzi behind him hurriedly held on, so they didn't fall to the ground.

Liu Shi waved his hand and let go of the hands of the two: "Our family is fine." ”

As he calmed his mind, he felt more and more appalling.

The one who died was actually a general, and the descendants of the Wu family behind him were all over the government and the opposition, holding the elite of the heavy soldiers guarding the eastern gate, although they were not as good as Li Xiao and other feudal kings, but they were also the characters who could make the Great Zhou earthquake with a stomp.

And Concubine Wu has been in the palace for many years, raising the six princesses to adulthood, and getting along well with other harem concubines, why did she attract such a poisonous hand?

Thinking of this, Liu Shi's scalp tingled.

The two concubines who died were all descendants of Jiangmen, could it be that someone was secretly fanning the contradictions between the court and the military?

Liu Shi's cheeks twitched involuntarily, according to this development, who will be the murderer's next target?

Liu Shi subconsciously glanced at Chen Xiangbei, and tried his best to ask in a calm tone: "Xiao Chenzi, did you go back to Huaqing Palace last night?" How is Li Guifei doing? ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiangbei trembled inexplicably, what does this old fox mean?

The two concubines who died were both Jiangmen Houyi, was he afraid that it would be Concubine Li's turn next?

"It's business as usual." Chen Xiangbei replied.

When Liu Shi heard this, the fluctuations in his eyes eased slightly, and he nodded: "Well, you pay more attention to the situation at the other end of Huaqing Palace, if there is any trouble, you will report it immediately." ”

Chen Xiangbei nodded and replied, there were no ripples on the surface, but his heart tightened, and an ominous premonition emerged.

Soon, the three of them rushed to the Ganlu Palace where Wu Guifei had an accident again, and after the incident, Dongchang once again sent a large number of people to seal the surrounding area.

All the personnel present who participated in the investigation of the East Factory basically had gloomy faces.

Before Yang Guifei's death was even known, the murderer once again extended his claws to Wu Guifei.

This is a blatant provocation!

Slapped them in the face of Dongchang!

Two concubines had accidents in a row, and even Zhao Gou, who was in charge of Zongzheng Temple, also appeared at the scene in person, and he was accompanied by several female officials who were in charge of the autopsy.

Zhao Gou walked into the Ganlu Palace coldly in a row, and happened to meet Yin Ping, who was guiding the work.

"Deputy Factory Master Yin, the female officials under this king have been locked up by you for a day and a night, can't you put them back?" Zhao Gou said coldly.

can't lose, Yin Ping doesn't eat this set at all, with Hai Dafu mopping the floor, don't say that you are a nominal prince, even if the prince is here, he is not afraid.

"The prince forgives the sin, all affairs in the palace have rules, when the time comes, or it proves that the two female officials have nothing to do with the case, our family will naturally release them."

Zhao Gou snorted coldly, but he didn't expect Yin Ping to not sell his face at all, and his explanations were full of perfunctory remarks: "Gonggong Yin is so big, those two female officials are the king's people, are you suspecting that the king has something to do with this case?" ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, although Zhao Gou is over seventy years old, the momentum between his eyebrows has not diminished at all, his body is full of vigorous qi, and his eyes are like torches, which is daunting.

As soon as he came up, he buttoned a big hat to Yin Ping, wanting to see how this doggy guy explained.

"Don't dare."

Yin Ping laughed stiffly: "But this matter is definitely not up to me alone, if the prince has any dissatisfaction, he can give feedback to the father-in-law of the factory." ”

Zhao Gou didn't expect Yin Ping to move out of Hai Dafu directly, as His Majesty's most trusted head of the Inner Palace, Hai Dafu represented His Majesty's will many times.

It seems that His Majesty has been watching this matter, and maybe he has also given Dongchang the right to investigate the royal family, so it is no wonder that this rootless eunuch surnamed Yin dares to be so presumptuous.

"Good!"

Zhao Gou clapped his palms and sneered: "Sure enough, it's a good dog of my Zhao family!" ”

"Dongchang only serves His Majesty, to be precise, we are all His Majesty's dogs."

Yin Ping was as calm as water, and he was not provoked at all.

Zhao Gou could only respond with a smile.

That's the end of the confrontation between the two.

Who doesn't know that when Dongchang acts, the imperial power concession will be cut first and then played?

This is also the reason for the contradiction between the Zhao family and the entire Dongchang.

Subsequently, in order to be fair and just, the female officials of Zongzheng Temple under Zhao Gou, as well as the female officials in the palace, entered the Ganlu Palace for an autopsy.

About an hour later, a written report came out.

To everyone's surprise, the deaths of the two concubines were ninety percent similar.

In addition to the artificially torn wound in the lower abdomen, the organs were severely injured and lost too much blood, they all had subtle incisions under their wrists, the only difference was the time of death.

"The murderer is really the same person." Yin Ping couldn't help frowning.

Then, the autopsy report was circulated in turn to the hands of the senior management of the East Factory.

When Liu Shi took the report, Chen Xiangbei took the initiative to take a look, and when he saw the description of the corpse above, the whole thing was numb.

But he didn't show any surprise, but stood aside as if nothing had happened.

The people present were all high-ranking officials of Dongchang and the head of Zongzheng Temple, and if he was cleared out, it would be difficult for him to know the news of the case.

He slowly lowered his eyes, and became more and more worried about Concubine Li's safety.
