With the shrewdness of the Queen Mother, when she hears this mysterious voice again in the Chengqian Palace, she will inevitably be suspicious.

Therefore, she should not be allowed to meet with the concubines.

It is impossible to stop the Queen Mother and prevent the Queen Mother from entering the Chengqian Palace, so you can only let the concubines go back first.

Emperor Tianheng gave Guangquan who was standing at the door a glance: "Take a break and have a cup of tea before discussing." ”

Guangquan hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea for Emperor Tianheng in person.

Emperor Tianheng pretended to ask casually: "There was a lot of noise outside just now, what happened?" ”

Guangquan hurriedly explained the dispute between Concubine Yan and Fu Qianqian: "...... Miss Fu left angrily, because the emperor was discussing with the adults, and the servants did not dare to disturb. ”

Emperor Tianheng frowned: "Concubine Yan's behavior is vulgar, arrogant and domineering, she dares to beat people in Chengqian Palace, it is really lawless, Xuan Zhen's will, punish kneeling for two hours, grounded for three months, without my will, she is not allowed to step out of Fuyang Palace for half a step." Concubine Shu, Li Zhaorong, Concubine An, Concubine Tang, and Zhou Cairen knew that Concubine Yan was misbehaving, but they did not block and dissuade her, and were fined for three months to set an example. ”

"Let them go back and reflect."

This punishment is obviously raised high and gently lowered.

It seems to be quite harsh, and everyone was punished, reasonable, fair and strict, but in fact, it was the first step to block the queen mother's mouth. If the Queen Mother came, Concubine Yan's punishment would never be so simple.

And the three-month confinement is also a kind of protection for Concubine Yan.

The grounding means that she doesn't have to go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother can't make it difficult for her during this time to wear small shoes for her.

Tang Shi knew that Emperor Tianheng's punishment couldn't find anything wrong, and she also prevented the Queen Mother from punishing them, but she still couldn't be happy.

[I hate deducting wages the most, how good is it to be grounded for three months. The emperor was too picky. 】

Asking for her money is worse than cutting her flesh.

The original owner's father was just a foreigner from the Ministry of Tuntian, who was a member of the Ministry of Labor, and the official was light, and he belonged to the bottom of the Beijing officials. Naturally, it is impossible to bring much silver into the palace for the original owner.

Moreover, after the original owner entered the palace, he has been unfavored, and he has not even seen the emperor's face for half a year, so naturally there is no reward. So she counts on that little money every month.

Now that three months' wages are deducted at once, the next day is bound to be tight.

The emperor almost laughed angrily when he heard this, he chose the lightest punishment, and as a result, he was complained about and slammed.

Then I heard the female voice complain.

[The concubines are so pitiful. Not to mention being a tool man once, I have to post three months' money, and I lost a lot of money. 】

[If you use it up, you will lose the fine, and the dog emperor will cross the river and tear down the bridge, he is really not human. 】

scolded several times in a row, and every sentence was inseparable from the money, which is enough to show how deep this resentment is.

Emperor Tianheng is going to feel that he has done something heinous.

Let's find a reason to reward them in a few days, and double the amount of money that has been deducted, and think of it as buying a clean ear.

Emperor Tianheng decided to ignore Tang Shi's complaints, and was ready to send several officials away.

He put down the teacup, tapped the mahogany table, and asked, "Ge Shangshu, is there anything else?" ”

Ge Jingyi understood that the Queen Mother was coming over soon, and the emperor had to deal with family affairs, and he definitely didn't want to be seen by their courtiers.

He said wittily: "Back to the emperor, there are already clues, Weichen believes that the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have laid a net, and they will definitely arrest the thief as soon as possible." ”

[The last thing caught will only be a scapegoat, little minion.] Guaguagua complained.

was suddenly slapped in the face by Guagua, Ge Jingyi was not only not embarrassed, but was very excited.

Half a year ago, a flower thief appeared in Dongcheng, and in the middle of the night, he sneaked into a private house and raped women, and has committed more than a dozen crimes so far.

And that's just what was exposed, and in fact there were certainly far more victims than these people.

Because many families were afraid of ruining the reputation of their daughter's family, and spreading the word of shame, they all hid it, and did not dare to report it to the government, and secretly suffered this dumb loss.

This incident was only revealed three months ago when the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the east of the city was humiliated and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.

The rich merchant gave birth to five sons to have such a daughter, who was very pampered and raised like a jewel, but he suffered this catastrophe, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man. The family was extremely resentful, and on the same day, they carried their daughter's body to the government to report the case, hoping that the government could find out the flower thief as soon as possible to pay for his life, and this matter attracted the attention of the government.

After Jingzhao Prefecture accepted the case, it immediately sent officials to investigate, and found more than a dozen similar cases, the modus operandi and time were very similar, the earliest case was half a year ago, so the government suspected that the same person was responsible.

After more than two months of investigation, Jingzhao Mansion arrested several suspects.

I thought that the murderer had been arrested, but who expected that a girl would be attacked more than half a month ago.

It is clear that the government is looking in the wrong direction and arresting the wrong person.

Jingzhao Mansion had no choice but to release the person and continue to look for clues.

And in order to avoid any more attacks on girls, Jingzhao Mansion also notified the Five Cities Terracotta Division of the case. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division sent additional manpower and strengthened night patrols, but still found nothing.

To make matters worse, three days ago, another victim appeared.

And the identity of this victim is not ordinary, she is the concubine of the king of Dongping County last year.

The king of Dongping County especially favored this concubine. Seeing that the concubine was humiliated, he was furious, and directly stabbed the matter in front of Emperor Tianheng, imploring the emperor to call the shots for him.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the occurrence of such a bad case is simply a provocation to the imperial court. Emperor Tianheng was furious and ordered the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Jingzhao Mansion and the Four Offices of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses to work together to solve the case in the shortest possible time and find out this criminal flower thief.

After going down to court today, Ge Jingyi and the four of them stayed alone to report the case to Emperor Tianheng.

But they haven't made much progress now.

Ge Jingyi was very anxious. Originally, this case was led by Jingzhao Mansion, and the rest of the three yamen assisted in solving the case, but today Yu Wen had an accident, and Jingzhao Mansion had no leader, and this case would definitely be handed over to their criminal department.

He was under a lot of pressure, he had no clue for a while, and he had a headache.

If this mysterious melon can show them the way and avoid some detours, they can also arrest this flower thief as soon as possible to avoid new victims.

So he immediately pricked up his ears.

Soon listened to Tang Shidao: [I'll take a look...... You're talking about this guy named Sun Monkey. 】

[Good guy, in order to cultivate feelings and tacit understanding, this thing eats and lives with monkeys since childhood, and learns the behavior and habits of monkeys. Although he is not a martial arts master, he has learned an extremely superb kung fu of climbing over walls and trees with the monkey, and his skills are comparable to that of a nimble monkey, so it is no wonder that he can sneak into other people's homes quietly to commit crimes. 】

[And their troupe is often invited to perform in the homes of big families, he can understand the terrain and courtyard layout of these houses without stepping on the point, and he can also spy on which family has beautiful girls and little daughters-in-law, and quietly pick the object of the start. 】

[This is simply luring the wolf into the room without knowing it.] 】

[What's more, the monkey he raised has become a sperm. On both occasions he was discovered by the victim's family and almost caught, but it was the monkeys who stood guard at the fence that helped him lure people away. Then Sun Monkey sneaked away from the opposite direction, and the people of the government once fell in this way, hey, it was just a little bit, when he hid in the tree above the heads of the officers and soldiers, passing by, what a pity. 】

Ge Jingyi and the others were stunned.

It's no wonder that they set up several bureaus, and once the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were patrolling at night, and they clearly saw a suspicious figure, but they didn't catch up. It turned out that the perpetrator was a man and a monkey, who would have thought of this?

But now that I know this person's name and occupation, I can arrange for someone to directly investigate the troupe in the capital to catch this demon after a while.

It's just that what does Guagua's previous sentence "scapegoat, little minion" mean?

Tang Shi is also wondering about this, Sun Monkey's crime is a nail in the coffin, could it be that there is something hidden in this case, or the government has another suspect, which caused Sun Monkey to escape the law in the end?

She hurriedly flipped back, and her mouth was still babbling: [Sun Monkey, this garbage thing, won't continue to get away with it, right? Then I'll vomit blood, I really want to stand up and tell the identity of this bastard in the Criminal Department. 】

Guagua: [Although he did it secretively, some people in the troupe had already discovered that he occasionally went out with monkeys at night and came back in the middle of the night, with a different fragrance on his body. Sooner or later, these people will suspect him, and presumably the government will soon find out about him. 】

[That's good, if he is caught, then there is another ......] Tang Shi suddenly scolded, [Damn, it turns out that the most hidden is the king of Dongping County, most of these cases were committed by him, and Sun Monkey is simply a small thing in front of him. 】

[This person is so cunning, he must be afraid that the government will find out about him, so he preemptively made such a scene of a thief shouting to catch a thief, so that no one will suspect him. As soon as Sun Monkey is arrested and resists all charges, he will be completely safe. 】

This answer was something that no one expected.

Even such a seasoned person as Ge Jingyi was stunned, he still remembered that the king of Dongping County was angry, annoyed, and humiliated a few days ago...... There is no trace of camouflage in all kinds of emotions.

Moreover, the king of Dongping County has always been kind and charitable, approachable, never oppresses people with power, and does not have the slightest bad habit of being a gentleman, and has an excellent reputation among the people.

Among the children of the clan, he is also a very peaceful one, never befriending ministers, nor interfering in political affairs, at most he has some contacts with some literati and students.

The first emperor was very relieved of this cousin and was extremely gracious.

But such a county king, who is praised by everyone, is now revealed to be the culprit who has defiled dozens of women.

Everyone was a little difficult to accept, but after the first few events, they all knew that Guagua and the host would not talk nonsense, and this thing was true nine times out of ten.

But the king of Dongping County has no shortage of women, what beautiful woman does he want to sleep with, why do you want to do it? And how did he commit the crime, so that he was able to evade the pursuit of the government again and again?

Everyone had countless questions in their hearts, and even Concubine Yan, Concubine Shu and others who walked to the door unconsciously stopped and wanted to listen carefully.

Ke Donglai received the news of the little eunuch and knew that the Queen Mother would arrive soon, so he hurriedly urged: "Ladies and gentlemen, please go back." ”

Concubine Yan didn't care about what she was going to be punished, and looked at Donglai with a blank eye: "Father-in-law Donglai, the concubine wants to see the emperor, can you please inform me." ”

Tang Shi looked up when he heard this, and interrupted his complaining with Guagua.

Donglai smiled, but his attitude was extremely resolute: "Concubine Yan, Your Majesty still has important matters, don't embarrass the slave, please." ”

Concubine Yan and the others were not in a rut, grinding and grinding, moving three times at a time, and they were still thinking about why the king of Dongping County was so frustrated, and the appearance was inconsistent, of course, the most important thing was that they also wanted to watch tonight's live broadcast!

Halfway through eating melons, I was so tired.

When she was about to get on the sedan chair, Concubine Shu suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "Sisters, the emperor is very hard, let's come over tonight to send ginseng soup to the emperor." ”

Tang Shi felt very inexplicable, just send ginseng soup to one person, what are a group of people doing huhula? She wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but Li Zhaorong, who had always been arrogant, agreed, and Concubine An and Zhou Cairen had no opinion.

An Concubine next to her even held Tang Shi's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Tang, come on, let's wait together at night...... Send ginseng soup to the emperor, I'll call you, that's it. ”

Concubine Yan knew that they were going to eat melons in a group to watch the excitement, and her eyes were red with jealousy, hey, I would have known that I wouldn't have beaten Fu Qianqian.
