The Queen's Secret

"Then...Since that's the case, I don't need to worry anymore!"

Even so, Tang Qi was still worried. Tang Yuan's health was deteriorating. In this matter, there must be no more mistakes.

"The prince doesn't need to worry. I think he will come to the emperor tomorrow morning."

Zhao Muyan looked calm, not worried at all that Yuan Zhi would not agree, Yuan Zhi would not miss this opportunity, and he would also be afraid that if he refused, it would affect his future promotion.

"All right…"

Tang Qi also stopped being entangled in this matter, he glanced at Qi Yuxin, and said: "Chief Qi, the Eighth Emperor, you did a good job in this matter, no wonder the Queen Mother appreciates you so much."

After hearing this, Qi Yu's face turned a little red... It's not just a simple appreciation.

"The crown prince is too famous. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first, so as not to disturb the empress and the crown prince."

"Well, go down!"

At this time, the crown prince finally let Qi Yuxin go. When Qi Yuxin left, Zhao Muyan couldn't help but look at her back. Since she confessed her feelings to each other, she found that she couldn't do without Qi Yuxin even more.

"Mother, many official positions have been dismissed since the morning of the court yesterday, but they have not been filled up to now."

Although it was only one day, the impact was great, and all political affairs came to a halt.

"Where's your father?"

Zhao Muyan frowned lightly, why did the prince keep looking for her, not her father, what happened to Tang Yuan?

"Father is now bedridden again."

When Tang Qi mentioned Tang Yuan, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. His health was getting worse and worse. He was really afraid that before Tang Zongyan's influence was eliminated, he would be hopeless.

"...Have you thought about promoting the female officer?"

Zhao Muyan knew Tang Yuan's situation, so he didn't continue to entangle in this matter, and directly discussed with Tang Qi how to deal with it.

"Yes, but the female officer in my hand is still short in politics, I'm afraid..."

"Don't be afraid, you have to learn everything, and they are your people, so they will benefit you and not hurt you if you get promoted."

"understood."

Tang Qi nodded to express his understanding, and Zhao Muyan said at this moment: "Don't hesitate to do things in the future, but be more decisive. If you miss this opportunity to put your own person in an official position, you will miss it."

After Tang Qi listened, he was silent for a while, but he still nodded.

"Sister Zhao..."

Zhao Muyan: ...

"You really...can't you leave?"

Tang Qi knew the agreement between Tang Yuan and Zhao Muyan. Tang Yuan also said that if he died unfortunately, he also hoped that Tang Qi would keep this promise. After all, she had done too much for the royal family.

"No, I want to get out of here."

Zhao Muyan thought of Qi Yuxin, the freedom outside the palace, and the unfettered life, so he didn't want to stay in this palace anymore.

"...All right."

Tang Qi compromised, he was reluctant to part with Zhao Muyan, and he was used to Zhao Muyan teaching him by his side. Without her, Tang Qi felt like he had lost his sense of security.

"Tang Qi...you will be the king in the future..."

Zhao Muyan softened his tone. When talking to Tang Qi, it was really like talking to his younger brother. It was not that he didn't care about him, but Zhao Muyan knew that Tang Qi's path was different from his own.

"Maybe you still need me now, but when you become the king, I will continue to stay here, I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate me in the future."

Tang Qi understood what Zhao Muyan said, he really needed Zhao Muyan now, and he didn't know what he would become in the future.

"I understand…"

Yuzhou City on the other side...

boom--

There was a sharp cracking sound, and Tang Zongyan looked at the kneeling crowd, the teacup in his hand had been thrown to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"Five million taels of gold...gold! It's not a silver ticket!"

If it was a bank note, Tang Zongyan could still afford this amount, but it happened to be gold!Transporting 500 million taels of gold to the capital, Tang Yuan really thought the world was peaceful? !

And... 500 million taels of gold!This simply hurt his vitality!

"The emperor calm down..."

Jian Zhong on the side stepped forward and continued: "The emperor's list has been released. Everyone knows that the emperor will transport 500 million taels of gold to Beijing. Everyone is coveting gold. What accident happened on the way..."

As soon as these words came out, Tang Zongyan understood immediately, and his originally angry brows immediately relaxed...

"It means that if someone robs the gold on the way... then it's not my fault?"

"exactly."

Tang Zongyan laughed heartily immediately, and said, "Jian Zhong is indeed a good staff member by my king's side! Come!"

Before Tang Zongyan could finish speaking, a servant ran in staggeringly.

"Emperor...Emperor!"

"Say something!"

Tang Zongyan is in a bad mood now, and he can't bear the stuttering appearance of this servant.

"The imperial court...the imperial court sent a hundred Ouchi guards to help escort the gold..."

As soon as these words came out, not only Tang Zongyan, but even Jian Zhong frowned deeply, Tang Yuan actually kept this trick!

"The emperor's list was only passed to Yuzhou City today, and this group of inner guards have already arrived in Yuzhou City. They started planning this matter a month ago..."

Tang Zongyan's face darkened. He didn't think Tang Yuan had such thoughts, and it could only be those two women... Zhao Muyan and Tang Yirou...

Tang Zongyan is not afraid of Tang Yuan, but rather Zhao Muyan and Tang Yirou. One is his imperial sister-in-law. Knowing her talent, how dare he underestimate her.

"One hundred bodyguards... Your lord, the dead soldiers we can mobilize... can't shake them at all..."

Ouchi guards are the highest-ranking guards in the palace, and they are also the most powerful in martial arts. They have similar abilities to the soldiers at the border. They are the most powerful barriers in the palace. Unexpectedly, 100 people were sent here...

I'm really determined to beat myself up...

Tang Zongyan covered his forehead...

This move, I lost...

Southland, imperial palace, old case room.

"The murder case..."

Qi Yu picked up the old case report in his hand, and Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan knew that the old case room was going to be busy again.

"Have you seen this?"

Qi Yu asked heartily, and Meng Gan and Lin Qingxuan nodded. They had seen this case, but they didn't read it carefully. Moreover, this case was quite a sensation in the capital at that time, but it was a case that had passed a year ago, so they had already put it to the public. Throw it in the old case room.

"There is very little evidence in this case. Even after investigating for a long time, there is no result..."

After Meng Gan finished speaking, Lin Qingxuan sneered, and said: "There is no evidence for this case to be true, but the bigger reason is that this woman has no background, is an ordinary family, and her family doesn't have much money. It's over."

After Lin Qingxuan finished speaking, Qi Yu frowned, and said, "The person who was in charge of this case at that time..."

She opened the old case report and saw the name of the squad leader, Zhuang Tieniu.

"Zhuang Tieniu... Isn't this one who was dismissed four months ago for drinking and making trouble..."

After Qi Yu finished speaking, she suddenly felt that it was not easy. Drinking and making trouble would be a demerit at most, and she would be dismissed directly...

"It seems that Master Tao is also very dissatisfied with his actions."

Qi Yuxin, who was still aggrieved at first, felt a little comforted when he thought that Zhuang Tieniu had been dismissed. After all, it would be a disgrace to Huangzhumen if such a person stayed in Huangqimen.

The case didn't make any progress, so it's normal to throw the case into the old case room, but the investigation period for this case was extremely short, which was also what Tao Mingyi was dissatisfied with, so he used the excuse of drinking and making trouble to get people out of the imperial arrest.

"Yes."

Both Lin Qingxuan and Qi Yu's minds are clear after all, and they can see the dark side of these people's hearts more clearly. On the other hand, Meng Gan on the side doesn't know what they are talking about...

"Let's talk about this case first. The deceased was a beautiful girl named Shen Linger. A year ago, the capital held a beauty pageant. This girl Shen Linger won the first prize, but she was killed the next day, her face was cut off, and all her clothes disappeared. , but there is no trace of being violated."

Qi Yuxin handed the old case report to the two, and the two opened it and began to review the case.

"The face was cut off the day after winning the beauty pageant, is it because of jealousy?"

While Meng Gan was revisiting the investigation process of this case, Qi Yuxin crossed his arms and said, "There is a possibility, and the previous investigations also followed this direction, but..."

Qi Yuxin let go of her hands, propped them on the table, and continued: "None of the people who competed with her were suspected, and they were full of praise for Shen Linger. The organizer who took care of them at that time It is also said that the atmosphere is very harmonious, and it is reasonable for Shen Linger to win the first prize. The neighbors around her only praise Shen Linger, and they have no grudges with others, so there is nothing to doubt..."

If it's not jealousy...why do you want to cut off people's faces...and this is not a serial murder case, this is not the murderer's inertia, but a targeted one, targeting Shen Ling'er's beauty...

"The fatal wound of the deceased was the stabbing knife in the chest. There were scars left by struggling on the body, and the scars where the skin was cut off had no muscle contraction... This...! I remember, it was the wound caused after death!"

Lin Qingxuan remembered that Qi Yuxin had taught her some knowledge about autopsy, which she still remembered.

"Yes."

"The heel is also worn out, that is to say, the murderer dragged the deceased, but no murder weapon was found nearby, and even the deceased's clothes were not found..."

Lin Qingxuan frowned, and when she was about to express her doubts, Meng Gan said, "It's understandable to be jealous of other people's beauty, but why do you have to take off your clothes? Isn't it to humiliate her? Is the hatred so deep? "

"But this Shen Ling'er has no grudges with anyone."

As soon as Qi Yu dismissed the idea of ​​hatred, Meng Gan said again: "What if the jealousy arose after she won the championship?"

"If that's the case, just cut your face if you are jealous, why take off your clothes?"

The problem went round and round and returned to the original point...

"Here it is also said that the body of the deceased smelled of powder that was not used by the deceased."

"It smells like powder again?"

The frequency of this fat powder smell is too high...

"The murderer is a woman?"

"not necessarily…"

Qi Yu shook her head heartily. For some reason, the case she investigated before overturned her way of investigating the case, so she no longer simply believed that the murderer who smelled of makeup must be a woman, it was just a possibility...
