Chapter 577 Punishment ([-])

Shen Guyi was brought up by the queen when he was young, and he grew up here, and Lin Ye was originally an eunuch in the palace, and the two often met each other when they were young, and they knew everything about the situation in the palace, and they didn't need others to guide them. ,
The place where the dead person died was the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden. There were many lotus flowers planted here. It was summer now, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom. The large area was pink and tender, which was really beautiful.

"It's said that a little maid was drowned here a few years ago, and this little maid turned into a water ghost, who would pull passers-by into the water as substitutes." Lin Ye leaned on the stone railing, glanced down, "However, so many people have died, so using a double is not the way to do it."

"Of course it's not the water ghost, but this matter must be investigated from the little maid who drowned a few years ago."

Shen Guyi was as calm as ever, Lin Ye glanced at him, "Why are you so boring all the time? Are you kidding me~"

"Let's investigate separately. You go to the Internal Affairs Bureau to check the information of the little maid, and I will check the situation of the recent deceased."

"..."

Shen Guyi left after finishing speaking, Lin Ye rolled his eyes at his back, but he still followed his advice.

The palace maids who died were not of high rank. Most of them were sweepers, and there were also palace maids who made mistakes in the clothing bureau. These people were the most inconspicuous existences in the palace. They went to great lengths just to kill a few palace maids. This is true. It’s confusing.

The first one to die was the maid who boiled water in Concubine Xiao's palace
Concubine Xiao and the empress had been at odds for many years, and she naturally had no good impression of Shen Guyi, who grew up under the empress's knees. Even if she came to investigate the case under the emperor's order, she would not look good on it.

"Master Shen has a distinguished status, what good things come to our small place, it actually attracted you."

"I am here to investigate the case at His Majesty's will. I have something to ask the maids and eunuchs in the empress's palace."

"Yo yo! Look at what you said. Since it is His Majesty's will, how can I stop it? It's just that there are so many people in this palace. Does Mr. Shen want to interrogate them one by one?"

Shen Guyi is cold-tempered, but he still has the pride of the royal family. He knew that Concubine Xiao Gui wanted to delay time and make things difficult for him, so he stopped being polite. Just take it easy, if there is something offended, I will come to ask for it at another time."

No longer caring about Concubine Xiao's expression, Shen Guyi went directly to the small kitchen in her palace.

The murdered palace maid was befriended by a palace maid named Xiaochun. One boiled water and the other cooked. Moreover, they both came to the palace together and were from the same hometown, so they had a good relationship.

"Xiao Tao usually doesn't talk much, so it's impossible for her to offend anyone..."

Shen Guyi frowned upon hearing this, "Impossible...have you two been together since entering the palace?"

"That's not true," Xiaochun thought about it, "the slaves were assigned to the imperial concubine's palace as soon as they entered the palace, and Xiaotao... she was assigned to the Imperial Garden before, but then she seemed to have made a mistake and was punished to the Clothing Bureau. , it took about two years after entering the palace to arrive at the imperial concubine's palace."

"Don't you know what happened in those two years?"

"This... Xiaotao has never mentioned it, and I didn't ask..."

"Okay, I see, thank you."

Afterwards, Shen Guyi went to ask a few more palace ladies. If there is anything in common among these victimized court ladies, it is that they all once stayed in the Huanyi Bureau for a period of time.

When the questioning was over, the sky was already dark, and Shen Guyi realized after a busy day that he hadn't had lunch yet, so he went to find Linye first.

The records of the Bureau of Internal Affairs are also vast, and it is not easy to find a little maid whose name is not known. When Shen Guyi found him, he was still looking through the records of the Bureau of Internal Affairs.

Seeing him coming, Lin Ye immediately complained, "I said Master Shen, you really know how to find a leisurely job, let me do this troublesome job, and don't notify me in advance to bring a few more people, look, I I searched for a day and didn't find any clues, why don't you come and help me?"

Shen Guyi nodded slightly, "I just asked some clues. If there is no accident, the court lady who drowned a few years ago should be a member of the Huanyi Bureau."

Lin Ye's face darkened, "If we had known earlier, we should have gone to ask together, so I would start the investigation directly from the Clothes Bureau, wasting a day in vain."

"Sorry, I didn't think well."

He is always like this, Lin Ye is too embarrassed to get angry with him, "Okay, don't stand around stupidly, investigate the case."

The people in the Clothes Bureau are almost all palace people who have made mistakes and been punished, and some have offended people and were sent in. Therefore, the atmosphere is very... bad. Bullying is almost commonplace, so there are also many palace people. An accident happened, but no one would care how a court lady died, so most of them were recorded as missing.

While flipping through the records of the Huanyi Bureau, Shen Guyi told Lin Ye the information he had found, "I asked the Huanyi Bureau, and there are not a hundred or eighty palace ladies who have drowned in the Huanyi Bureau in recent years. , most of them couldn’t stand the hardships of the Huanyi Bureau, or they couldn’t bear to be bullied, so they threw themselves into the lake. I guess the murderer wanted to avenge the palace maid who died a few years ago, and so many people died, probably the second kind."

After hearing this, Lin Ye sneered, "The lower the person is, the more he likes to gain status superiority by bullying others. He has no ability to protect himself, and he deserves his death. He will also implicate us in investigating the case here."

Shen Guyi was noncommittal, and immersed himself in the book, "Among the palace ladies who died recently, the one who stayed in the Huanyi Bureau the shortest was Dongyue in Rongguiren's Palace. It was only half a year. Let's look it up from the half-year records."

Two people searched, plus they also locked the range, so they naturally found clues very quickly.

Shen Guyi pointed out the name to Lin Ye, "It should be this person."

"There are quite a few that meet the requirements. Why did you choose this?"

"..." Shen Guyi hesitated, "Intuition."

Lin Ye rolled his eyes to the sky, "Well, your intuition has always been accurate, so she is the only one, but it's getting late today, let your subordinates investigate the matter after that, let's go out of the palace, I buy you a drink."

"it is good."

The two of them went to the street. When the people around them saw Shen Guyi's flying fish suit, their faces all changed. After being tens of meters away, they turned pale with fright and ran away.

Lin Ye was unhappy, "Obviously our West Factory has more power and more ruthless methods. Why is no one afraid of me?"

"They don't know me, they just recognize the clothes."

"That's right, how about I ask His Majesty to give me an official uniform?"

Shen Guyi looked at him, thought about it very seriously, and finally nodded, "Yes."

Lin Ye was simply joking, but Shen Guyi was thinking, "You really have been incomprehensible for more than ten years."
