Zhan Zhao investigates the case in the palace and encounters another suicide case.
How to look at the two cases and how they were implicated, the Zhan guards had to put them together to investigate.
Nangong called a few palace maids who knew Granny Liang for Zhanzhao and asked Zhanzhao to question.
In fact, there is no need for Nangong to look for it, the palace maids have already lined up, and they have the opportunity to chat with the Zhan guards, of course the girls are happy, but unfortunately only Zhan Zhao is here today, Bai Yutang did not come, otherwise there will be no regrets in life if you catch the two of them and talk together.
Zhan Zhao asked around, the palace maids said the same, can you sum it up This Granny Liang has always done some heavy work in the harem, laundry and cooking.
These little palace maids don't know about her past, and she rarely mentions her own affairs, and the only clue is provided by a few older palace maids, saying that this Granny Liang's family has passed away, and no one knows the reason.
As for her character evaluation, everyone agrees, whether it is the eunuch in charge, the cook, the palace maid, the guard, etc., as long as they know her, they all say that she is very kind and very good.
As for why she committed suicide, everyone shook their heads, saying that they couldn't figure it out.
But when Zhanzhao asked this Granny Liang what was abnormal recently, no one noticed it, how to say that this mother-in-law has a good relationship with many people in the palace, but not particularly good, many people know that she is good, but no one understands that she is plain up, and everyone is a general friend.
Zhan Zhao felt that this Granny Liang was deliberately keeping a distance from the people around her.
In the end, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun arrived at the residence of Granny Liang in the palace.
The palace maids live in the west courtyard of the palace, and in addition to the palace maids who are resident in the palace, some of the older ones who help are outside with their own homes, and the palace is just a temporary residence.
Granny Liang has a separate room, the room is poorly furnished, and she looks like she is just sleeping temporarily.
Zhan Zhao flipped through it, but didn't find any clues, so he asked the steward to take the registration booklet.
After all, they are helpers in the palace, and each of them has been investigated by a special person sent by the steward's office, not to mention the address, and all the living ones of the upper and lower generations are recorded.
This Granny Liang's home outside the palace is not far from the palace, and on the relatives column, there are fathers and mothers and younger siblings, but Zhanzhao looked at the year, which was registered thirty-five years ago, in other words, she entered the palace when she was a teenager.
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, it is unlikely that she entered the palace as a teenager to do rough work, maybe she served a concubine or princess, I don't know if anyone remembers her.
In the palace, Zhanzhao asked Zhao Pu to help find the Queen Mother to check, and he himself went to the residence outside the palace of Granny Liang with his grandson.
At this time, it was getting late, and Zhan Zhao and Gongsun found an old mansion according to the address registered with the steward.
As Zhan Zhao and Gongsun expected, the house is old and dilapidated, and Granny Liang's family is poor, and if the family is well-off, no one will be willing to send her daughter to be a descendant.
After filming for a long time, there was no one at home, but the people in the house next door woke up.
The door of the next room opened, and an old man walked out with his clothes on.
Most of the people in Kaifeng City know Zhanzhao, and this old man is no exception, he recognizes it at a glance, "Isn't this Lord Zhan?"
Zhan Zhao said hello to the uncle, and asked, "Is the owner of this house here?"
The old man shook his head and said, "This house has been empty for a long time, and Qiao Niang rarely comes back." ” "Qiao Niang" Zhan Zhao asked, "Is she helping in the palace?"
"That's right" the old man nodded, "Her real name is Liang Qiaoyu, the older ones call her Qiaoniang, and the young people call her Granny Liang."
Speaking of this, the old man frowned slightly and asked Zhanzhao, "Master Zhan, isn't something happened to Qiao Niang?"
Zhan Zhao roughly explained the matter.
"Oops" the old man stomped his feet, looking very sad, "she still can't think about it."
The old man was noisy at the door, the old lady at home also walked out, and the doors of several other neighborhoods next door also opened, and some people came out to ask what happened.
Zhan Zhao and Gongsun glanced at each other, feeling puzzled, so they asked Liang Qiaoyu in detail.
This Liang Qiaoyu used to have younger siblings in both parents, her father and mother were not in good health, the family was poor, Liang Qiaoyu was very well-behaved, and she was the oldest, so when she was a teenager, she went to the palace to choose a palace maid, and finally chose and entered the palace.
Liang Qiaoyu is very capable, serving the concubine in the palace, she is very fond of the concubine, and often has some rewards, she takes it back to supplement the family, and the life of the family gradually improves, but when Qiaoniang was eighteen years old, that is, about three or four years after entering the palace, all the family members passed away.
Zhanzhao sounds fresh, a family, father and mother plus three younger siblings, a total of five people, how can you say that death will die "Could it be that someone murdered" Zhan Zhao was shocked.
The old man smiled bitterly, "Lord Zhan, don't you know, about thirty years ago, there was a big case in this neighborhood."
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, "What case?"
"Someone gave poisoned sugar cakes to children in the neighborhood."
The old man shook his head.
Gongsun frowned, "Who is so hateful" "Alas," the old man sighed, "Does Lord Zhan know which sugar cake shop in Kaifeng Mansion is the biggest?"
"Manji" Zhanzhao asked, Manji Sugar Shop can be said to be well-known in the world.
"More than 30 years ago, in addition to Manji, there was also a Xu Ji."
The old man said, "I remember that year coincided with the emperor's birthday to celebrate, and a shop was needed to make sugar."
Whoever can accept the errand in the palace is equivalent to the royal sugar shop, so Xu Ji and Man Ji broke their heads.
Xu Ji's boss didn't know if he was confused, so he came up with such a trick to damage yin morality, put Manji's sugar cake in it, and distributed it to the children of the poor family, the Liang family's doll, took the sugar cake home to eat with his parents, and the family died. ” Zhan Zhao and Gongsun were stunned on the spot, feeling that they couldn't believe it.
"Several children died on the street."

The old man shook his head, "In the end, after the case was investigated, the emperor personally sentenced Xu Ji to be beheaded." ” Zhanzhao frowned, he seemed to have seen it in the case file, the Great Song Dynasty did not punish severely, and there were very few cases that could be sentenced to full of beheadings, and there was indeed a family surnamed Xu, it turned out to be because of this reason Gongsun also frowned, "I haven't heard of this thing."
"Is it a child from a poor family who was poisoned, naturally no one cares."
The old man sighed faintly, "I don't believe that if you poison any of the emperor's relatives, this case is estimated to be known to the world."
This world is so unfair, the children of poor families are so sensible, but they suffer a tragic death.
Some of the second ancestors were high-flying, but they lived a long life and enjoyed the blessings of a lifetime. ” Zhan Zhao and Gongsun also felt depressed, so they asked the old man if there was anything abnormal about Granny Liang recently.
"Abnormal" the old man thought it funny, "she hasn't been normal since her family died, she hasn't been married in her life, she rarely talks to us, she only comes back every two or three months, and then again, why do you come back, and there is no one at home." ” Zhan Zhao and Gongsun thanked the old man, but decided to go to Liang Qiaoyu's house to have a look.
Gongsun held back his anger, after all, he was a father, and he felt that someone had poisoned the sugar cake, and he felt that it was heinous, and he walked with Zhanzhao, muttering in his mouth, "It's too annoying" Zhan Zhao pried open the lock of Granny Liang's house, and said helplessly, "That old man is also reasonable, sometimes good people don't live long and leave a thousand years of harm. ” There was a "crunch" and the door opened.
The house was in chaos, peas were planted in the yard, but it should have been left unattended for a long time, and it grew like weeds, most of them had died, and the lanterns at the door were also broken, and the gate was even more dilapidated.
Gongsun sighed, "What a poor family." ” Zhanzhao opened the door, entered the house, lit candles, and looked around.
The cottage is not big, one for adults, one for children, and the back is a stove room or something.
Zhan Zhao and Gongsun split up to find clues that might be related to Granny Liang's death, so they had to rummage through the boxes and cabinets, and the two tried to be careful not to mess up the things at home After rummaging through and finding nothing, Gongsun sat on the edge of the bed and felt that there seemed to be something under the futon.
The quilt is lifted to look at the bed slats.
Zhan Zhao also walked over, and the two groped for a while, and found that a bed board was uneven, so they pried open it and took out a box from inside.
The box is not small, very heavy, and has a lock.
Zhan Zhao weighed it, and said in his heart what was so heavy in it The two of them didn't find the key, and Zhanzhao twisted it lightly, and the lock was unscrewed, and he opened the box and looked dumbfounded.
I saw a chest full of gold Gongsun was shocked, "This must have a few hundred taels."
Zhan Zhao nodded.
The two of them went to look at the wooden grid again, and found that there was something inside.
Zhan Zhao simply lifted the entire bed board and found that there were still four boxes inside.
Take out the chests and open them, there are three chests of gold, and two chests full of jewelry.
Gongsun picked it up and appraised it, frowning, "Everything is worth a lot" Zhan Zhao frowned, "I have enough money to buy a mansion."
Gongsun raised his eyebrows, "It's not enough to buy a mansion and enjoy Qingfu for a few lifetimes" Zhan Zhao picked up a phoenix hairpin in the jewelry box and frowned, "This is not like the usual phoenix hairpin."
Gongsun turned the phoenix hairpin over, and saw that in a relatively hidden place, there was a word "tribute".
Gongsun was shocked and looked at Zhanzhao, "This is a tribute."
Zhan Zhao also nodded, "Looking at the luxurious style, it doesn't look like ordinary people will use it."
"And there are some Western Regions styles" Gongsun frowned, "It should be a tribute from foreign tribes" Thinking of Granny Liang on an errand in the palace, Zhan Zhao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "There are too many words of reward, is this Granny Liang a snitch?"
"No" Gongsun found it difficult to connect this ill-fated palace maid with the snitch, and then thought of Concubine Ye, so he asked Zhanzhao, "Could it be that she hid it for Concubine Ye?"
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, looked at the treasure in front of him again, shook his head, and said, "Is it that I have been with Yutang for a long time and always feel that there is not much money here, if it is Concubine Ye, she should steal more than these treasures?"
"Hmm" Gongsun scratched his head, and was a little unsure, they were indeed too familiar with Bai Yutang, especially whenever Bai Fu counted the money, the mountains of gold and silver, people had no concept of gold and silver.
In Kaifeng Mansion, Bai Yutang, who was sitting in the courtyard drawing a picture with a pen, turned his head and sneezed.
Standing at the table to help him grind ink and watch him draw, the little fourth son held his chin with one hand and yawned, "Why haven't Daddy and the cat come back, Jiujiu went to the imperial grandmother?"
Bai Yutang rubbed his nose, estimating that Zhanzhao hadn't come back so late, maybe something had happened again, he shook his head while putting down the brush, picked up the portrait he had drawn, and asked the little fourth son, "Is it like?"
Xiao Sizi touched his chin and nodded, "Well, it seems to be about the same."
"You said you kid, why don't you paint landscapes, don't paint beauties, and paint an old lady?"
Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi turned around when they heard the sound of talking from behind them, only to see Tianzun standing behind them with a wine jar.
Outside the door, Yin Hou also walked in, they stayed in Nan'an Temple for a day, and just came back.
Yin Hou looked left and right, "Zhao" "I haven't come back from the palace yet."
Bai Yutang put down the portrait and recalled the old lady he had just seen, what other characteristics did he have.
"What did you draw," Tianzun stretched out his hand to pick up the portrait and look at it.
Bai Yutang told him about the situation he met when he came back with the little fourth son just now.
Yin Hou took the two portraits and asked, "Is it like?"
The little fourth son nodded, "Oh yes" Tianzun also touched his chin, "Well, she is very good at kung fu" Bai Yutang nodded, "But I can't think of such a person in the rivers and lakes." ” "Did she say anything?"
asked Yin Hou.
Bai Yutang told the second elder what the old lady said before leaving, "The world is unfair, she lives well with an old bone, but the person in the painting is young but dead".
Tianzun suddenly touched his chin and raised his face, "Oh, I seem to have heard this sentence somewhere." ” Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi both looked up at Tianzun.

After a long time, Tianzun shook his head, "I can't remember" Bai Yutang was powerless.
Yin Hou said, "There is nothing special about this in itself, there are not a few people who can say this kind of thing." ” "It's true," Tianzun agreed, "If I saw some children die, I would feel the same, I have lived well for more than a hundred years, how can some children die before they grow up, the world is really unfair." ” Bai Yutang frowned and stared at the portrait in a daze.
Yin Hou was not interested in the case, so he went to wash and sleep, and the little fourth son ran to soak his feet.
Tianzun sat down beside Bai Yutang and slapped him, "I said." ” Bai Yutang looked up at his master.
Tianzun looked very curious, "Although you have always been concerned about the matter of the kitten, but you seem to be very distracted about this case, what's so special?"
Bai Yutang looked at his master with some surprise, he was quite careful.
Bai Yutang put down the image of the old lady in his hand, picked up the portrait painted by Gongsun, and said to Tianzun, "I don't know this person. ” Tianzun blinked, tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang Bai Yutang said, "But that skeleton gives me a sense of déjà vu." ” "Ha" Tianzun opened his mouth, "You know such a thin friend" Bai Yutang was speechless and glanced at Tianzun.
Tianzun grinned, didn't tease the apprentice anymore, and asked with great interest, "There is only one skeleton left, how do you know it?"
"Feeling," Bai Yutang was helpless, "But the skeletons in the world all look similar, I may have seen too much." ” Tianzun amused Bai Yutang, and reached out and knocked on his apprentice's head, "You said that you raised a cat by yourself but was led away by a cat." ” Bai Yutang was also helpless.
The two compartments were looking at each other, and footsteps could be heard outside.
When I turned around, I saw Zhan Zhao and Gongsun running in with a few boxes, and there were shadow guards behind them who helped carry the boxes.
The fourth son ran out of the mansion, and after calling his father, he found that Zhao Pu was not there, so he asked the ochre shadow who was walking behind, "What about Jiujiu?"
Ochre Ying spread his hands, "I went to the Empress Dowager's palace just now to help investigate the case, but I didn't expect the Empress Dowager to be there and I was arrested and sent home." ” Zhan Zhao put the box on the table and reached out to take the teacup in front of Bai Yutang to drink.
Tianzun opened the box curiously, "You guys have picked up the money" Zhan Zhao shook his head, drank tea, and told Bai Yutang about Liang Qiaoyu.
Bai Yutang took a few pieces of jewelry in the box and looked at it, frowning, "It's indeed worth a lot." ” "Although it is hidden in the Liang family, it may not be stolen by Liang Qiaoyu."
Yin Hou said, "Stealing in the palace requires skills, and it is difficult for her to do it as an ordinary palace maid." ” Zhan Zhao and Gongsun both nodded, apparently thinking the same way.
Seeing the portrait painted by Bai Yutang, Gongsun picked it up and looked at it, saying that he thought it was similar to the man on the portrait, but Zhanzhao was just like Bai Yutang, and he didn't see the image, so everyone still believed in Gongsun's judgment.
Listening to Bai Yutang say what happened just now, Zhan Zhao suddenly sighed with emotion, "Well, when I meet an old man here, I feel that a good person does not live long and will be a disaster for thousands of years, and when you meet an old lady over there, I feel that the world is impermanent, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person."
It was also late, and everyone collected their things and prepared to check them tomorrow, so they went back to the house to wash and sleep.
When Bai Yutang took a bath and returned to the room, he saw that Zhanzhao had also washed, wearing a white underwear, sitting at the table and nibbling on a piece of shrimp cake, there was a plate on the table, and he had eaten almost half of it.
Seeing Bai Yutang come in, Zhan Zhao pointed to him with shrimp cakes, "The kitchen lady made a supper." ” Bai Yutang closed the door, walked over, looked at Zhan Zhao, who was seriously eating shrimp cakes, and suddenly wanted to laugh, "This world is indeed unfair. ” Zhan Zhao's cheeks bulged and looked at Bai Yutang, "Hmm" "Some people eat one meal a day and get fat into balls, and you eat ten meals a day and don't see you grow meat, is it unfair for you to say?"
asked Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao squinted, came over to drill the quilt with shrimp cakes in his mouth, and pushed Xiao Wu, who jumped on the end of the bed and rubbed him, leaning on its soft belly.
Zhan Zhao lay down comfortably, raised his legs and asked Bai Yutang, "Yutang." ” Bai Yutang looked at him, "Hmm" "Do you think the man in the portrait is familiar?"
Zhan Zhao asked suddenly.
Bai Yutang shook his head, stared at Zhan Zhao, and asked, "Do you think it looks familiar?"
"Oh, not really."
Zhan Zhao shook his head, "It's strange to say, I'm sure I haven't seen the person on that portrait, but that skeleton, I don't know why, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere." ” Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao in a daze.
"Also," Zhan Zhao sat up and said to Bai Yutang seriously, "I also feel familiar with that fishtail pillow." ” Bai Yutang was a little surprised, "The pillow is also familiar" "The pillow is okay, it's the shape of that fishtail" Zhan Zhao patted his head, "I can't remember where I've seen it" Bai Yutang raised his hand, turned off the light, and said, "Forget it, don't think about it, go to bed early." ” Zhan Zhao was churning with Xiao Wu on his pillow, and his mind was chaotic.
Bai Yutang played with the little fourth son for a day today, don't look at the little fourth son lying still like a little quail on weekdays, and it was quite crazy to play, so the fifth master soon felt sleepy, and when he was about to sleep before he slept, he heard Zhanzhao suddenly "ah".
Bai Yutang opened his eyes suddenly, thinking that Zhanzhao had a nightmare or something wrong, but who knew that the cat rushed up to his chest and lay on his chest, grabbed his collar and shook it, "I remembered where I saw that pillow." 33343dqsuh11158210gt:
