"Is it really the same person?"
He Xu fell into deep thought, "Could it be that that person slipped into the backyard of the palace last night just to kill a chamberlain?"
But the risk is too great. ” Just as he was thinking about it, Li Hong's voice came from a distance, "General, there is a cook in the imperial dining room, and he said that he knows where Tong Qi went last night." ” He Xu stood up, he saw Li Hong leading a person towards him, and when the man saw the miserable corpse of Tong Qi, he was so frightened that his legs collapsed to the ground, "Why was it fine when I saw him last night, but now he has become like this." ” "You saw him last night?"
He Xu stepped forward.
"He asked me to prepare a sheep's head for him, so he came to the imperial dining room last night and took the sheep's head away."
The cook was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"Sheep's head?
What does he want that thing for?
He Xu was puzzled.
"I said I was going to give it away."
"To whom?"
The cook swallowed, "He didn't say it explicitly, but I made a joke and said that you wouldn't give it to the lady in Cuiwei Palace, Tong Qi just smiled and didn't deny it." ” "Cuiwei Palace?"
He Xu frowned two thick eyebrows, "Could it be Mrs.
Blossom?"
” "Actually, this is all my guess, Tong Qi is responsible for taking care of the lady, but he seems to be overly concerned, and she is very carefully prepared for her food and clothing, and a few times, he also used his own moon silver to let the people in the imperial dining room add more good dishes to the lady, you think, everyone knows that Mrs.
Hua Rui is not favored, and the emperor keeps her, but because of a little old love, this Cuiwei Palace, the emperor has not set foot in it for many years.
Therefore, the reason why Tong Qi is so interested in her is mostly because of his own thoughts, besides, he has never been like this to the mother of the other palace, so our brothers always make jokes about him, saying that he wants to eat swan meat as a toad."
"So last night, after the boy went to you to take the sheep's head, he went directly to Cuiwei Palace?"
"How do you know about this little one, but that sheep's head is quite big, and it was so hot yesterday, can he still carry it around the palace?"
He Xu and Li Hong searched the entire stone mountain, and finally, the two came to the outside of the Cuiwei Palace, looking at the slightly mottled door in front of them, and did not move for a long time.
"My lord, why don't we knock on the door and ask, if the people inside agree to let us in, I think it will be okay for us to go in and search."
Li Hong asked for his opinion.
He Xu glared at him, "The emperor and queen are all out of the palace, without their will, no one can search the inner courtyard of the palace without authorization, this is the palace rule, how can you and I disrespect?"
” "However, this is not another palace, this is Cuiwei Palace, even if you offend the lady inside, I am afraid that no one will pursue it."
"Who did you learn from this trick?
Niangniang is a mother after all, no matter how unfavored she is, we can't offend her. ” Li Hong was reprimanded, and he didn't dare to say a word anymore, he stood timidly behind He Xu and asked in a low voice, "General, what should we do now?"
I've searched all over this stone mountain, and there are no valuable clues. ” He Xu just wanted to answer, but the door of the palace in front of him slowly opened from the inside, and a graceful figure stood in the middle of the two doors, as quiet as a flower shining on the water, "My lord, is there something wrong in the palace?"
” He Xu and Li Hong hurriedly knelt down, "I'm disturbing Niangniang, I can't hide it, the child of the Internal Affairs Office was killed, and the murderer has not been found yet." ” The people inside the door were so frightened that they barely stood firm by holding on to the door of the palace, and she stroked her chest, "Amitabha, who is so ferocious that he dares to commit murder in the backyard of the palace." ” "Niangniang," He Xu saluted, "The minister took the liberty to ask, I don't know if Niangniang saw Tong Qi last night?"
” "It's because he was fine when I saw him last night that I'm so shocked."
"Did the boy come to Niangniang last night?"
"Yesterday, I suddenly wanted to eat a dish in my hometown of Shuzhong, called Ci Scarlet Sheep, so I asked Tong Qi to go to the imperial dining room to help me get a sheep's head.
After the things were delivered, he left on his own, and as for where he went, I don't know.
However, if you are suspicious of me, you can go to the Cuiwei Hall to take a look, I have lived here alone for a long time, and I have never been disturbed by people, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary disputes because of the death of an inner servant. ” When she said this, her tone was low, with a little humility, a little fear, He Xu listened to it in his heart, and felt that it was not a taste, so he quickly leaned over and saluted again, "Niangniang is too worried, how dare the ministers and others trespass into Niangniang's dormitory without permission, we are just routinely patrolling here, since there is nothing to do, then we will retire first." ” With that, he stood up and was about to leave, and was about to turn around, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Madame Blossom's eyes, who were looking at him intently, with tears in her eyes.
He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered the pair of eyes in his memory, and his body stiffened, as if he had been pointed at by someone, and he couldn't move for half a minute.
"My lord, it's time to go."
Li Hong gently pulled He Xu's arm on the side, He Xu's face turned red, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly followed him down the mountain.
"What did you just do, my lord?
Why are you still stunned?
Li Hong laughed on the side.
He Xu waited for him to laugh enough, and then he said, "I found that mark on Xinggang just now." ” Li Hong exclaimed: "Is that the seal we saw here the night before?"
So, the one who killed the boy was the one who sneaked into the palace that night?
” He Xu looked into the distance, his eyes blazing, "I'm afraid, this matter is much more complicated than we imagined." ” "Why did the general say that?"
"Six years ago, I was stationed in Zhejiang, that year, a total of 19 men and women of Japanese merchant ships encountered huge waves off the coast of Zhejiang, drifted to Pingyang, Wenzhou, my superiors ordered me to repatriate these people, but on the day they were sent on the ship, I found that there were two people missing, so in fact, only 17 people got on the ship that day and returned to Japan."
"Did the two find them later?"
"Only one person was found, and when she was found, she was already a corpse."

"Corpses?"
He Xu snapped off a branch beside him, "I still remember that the missing were two women, an old man and a young woman, but we only found the body of the young woman, who was lying in a remote house, covered in blood, because her skin was stripped off, and there was nothing left." ” Li Hong covered his mouth and exclaimed, "So miserable?
Did you catch the murderer, general?
” He Xu shook his head, "No, not only did we not catch the murderer, but we also didn't find the old woman." ”
