Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Fuguier handed over a Neifang Zuocheng.

This person was in charge of allocating and arranging palace servants and eunuchs. He alone knew who was related to whom in the East Palace, and who had old grudges against whom.

"Qian Zuocheng has always been the Crown Prince's confidant. I thought I was working for the Crown Prince at first, but later I found out that Jingshun was also his man.

"I once complained to Zuo Cheng, saying that since I was already here, why did Jingshun come? With him here, the prince will never see me again in his life!

"But Zuo Cheng forbad me to tell Jingshun my identity. Only then did I realize that I was not working for the Crown Prince!

"Master Chenghui, you treat us well. I thought I came here because Your Highness was concerned about the ladies in the palace, so I told everything to the outside world like a dog...

"But after I found out that I wasn't working for the Crown Prince, I never told anyone about the important matters in our palace! I swear! I swear, wuwuwu!"

Fuguier opened his mouth wide and cried loudly, feeling aggrieved, depressed and scared.

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said, "Come on! If you regret it, why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, we could have set a trap and caught them all at once. Why would we have waited until today?"

"But the man surnamed Qian said that even if the prince knew who we were working for, he would never be angry..." Fuguier continued crying.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows: "That's great!"

Then he frowned and asked, "What news did you spread to foreign countries? Tell me."

"Actually, it's just some daily life in our palace...

"Miss An'er takes Qiaolian to manage the storeroom, and Miss Ru'er takes Qiaogui to manage Chenghui's clothes and shoes. Aunt Meng doesn't like spicy food. If the little princess goes to bed early, Nanny Ji will secretly have a drink or two. Every time she has a drink, Manager Xia will come out to accompany her..."

Fuguier finished speaking in one breath.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows: "Why is Jingli not here?"

"Zuo Cheng is very familiar with Jing Li, I don't need to tell you..." Fugui'er begged Wang Xifeng tearfully, "Master, if I had not been beaten to death by the prince, could you take me in again..."

Wang Xifeng weighed the whip in her hand, tilted her head in surprise and asked him, "Did I just hit you?"

"You have every right to beat me!" Fuguier started crying again, "I regret it so much..."

Wu Jin, who had been squatting nearby watching the fun, turned around to look at Wang Xifeng and meowed.

Wang Xifeng also looked at it, shook her wrist, retracted the whip, and sighed: "Alright! Considering that you really have no intention of harming others, I will take you back after you have been punished and teach you a lesson on how to behave!"

After saying that, he raised his chin and ordered Xia Shouzhong, "Okay, send this bastard to the Criminal Court and hand him over to Chen, and let him try him.

"By the way, tell Qinghai that I won't care about anything else when it comes to punishing this fellow, but make him memorize the eunuchs' rules and regulations and copy them out ten times!

"When he has finished his punishment and his injuries have healed, he must follow the rules I have written down and kneel down at every step. Walk from the inner square gate back to the Yi Qiu East Palace!"

Xia Shouzhong agreed with a smile and untied the ropes for Fuguier.

Fuguier struggled and kowtowed to Wang Xifeng again, then he followed Xia Shouzhong to the Criminal Justice Department, covered in wounds and dragging his feet.

Chen Duo had his own methods of trial, and with Xia Shouzhong's hints and Fuguier's active cooperation, he did not suffer any major loss.

When it came to Qinghai, Xia Shouzhong finished what Wang Xifeng had said. Qinghai was surprised: "Your Highness is arranging to send another Jing generation to Yiqiu Palace, why do you Wang Chenghui want to protect this bastard?"

"Fuguier is very good at flattering people." Xia Shouzhong simply concluded, "In all these years, I have never seen anyone flatter people more sincerely than Fuguier.

"Our Master Chenghui loves to hear flattery the most."

Qinghai opened his mouth and closed it again.

What? There is someone who is better at flattering than me? !

Row.

After that little bastard has finished his punishment, call him over for a duel, and then send him back to the East Hall.

Qinghai's eyes were firm.

"Okay! Since Master Chenghui has ordered it, I will report to His Highness tomorrow. If His Highness nods, he can go back when the matter is done!"

Xia Shouzhong bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Qing!"

"Master Xia, you are too polite."

The two people said goodbye to each other in a very polite and distant manner.

Things developed very quickly - before Chen Duo could catch him, Qian Zuocheng, who had been making such outrageous remarks, committed suicide by taking poison.

Xia Shouzhong heard about this while walking on the road, so he turned back to find out the details, and then returned to the East Hall to report.

"He was dressed neatly, with a cup of tea beside him, and some poisonous substances at the bottom of the cup." Xia Shouzhong said, "There was also a suicide note saying that he was greedy and did it alone.

"Boasting to Fugui'er and the others that you have a strong backer is just bluffing."

Wang Xifeng burst out laughing when she heard this: "Are you trying to fool us all like fools?"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has been busy today and has not returned yet.

"Qinghai was very angry. He said that His Highness didn't want to cause trouble among his younger generation, so he arrested the man so early. Who knew that the other party would be so shameless? He must investigate thoroughly."

Wang Xifeng nodded, as if thinking about something. She looked up and saw Xia Shouzhong still waiting for her instructions, so she couldn't help asking him, "You also heard it yesterday. Madam Duan said that Zhuqing committed suicide."

"I don't believe Zhu Qing committed suicide." Xia Shouzhong said bluntly, "This man was a servant of the Mo family. His death is equivalent to refusing to tell the truth. In that case, it is equivalent to leaving his family in the Mo Mansion to bear the wrath of the Crown Princess.

“Besides, it would be too easy to pour the medicine juice to extinguish the charcoal basin and lift the quilt to freeze the person to death when Zhu Qing was seriously ill and unconscious.

"I think Zhu Qing might have been silenced."

After a pause, he suddenly looked up in surprise, "Cheng Hui means..."

"Yes." Wang Xifeng nodded slowly, "This is very similar to Qian Zuocheng's situation. If we throw something into Qian Zuocheng's tea, it won't be that difficult if it's someone he trusts."

Xia Shouzhong's expression changed.

"The case is not complicated." Wang Xifeng's expression was complicated, "But this courage, to kill people so openly in the East Palace in the twelfth lunar month, is really shocking.

"Even if we can't find anyone, we should at least make a gesture and thoroughly plow the East Palace.

“Everyone in our East Palace should be fine.

"Help the Main Hall and the West Hall secretly. After all, we have to live in this hall for a few more years. If something happens to them, it will be difficult for us to remain unscathed."

Hearing such sobering words, Xia Shouzhong smiled with satisfaction and bowed, saying, "I obey the master's order."
