Consort Zhanzhao

Just when Zhan Weiruoyou seemed to be "molesting" the little prince, Bao Zheng had already mounted the black horse of the underworld and headed for the Yin-Yang Palace.

To be honest, although his face looked as upright and dark as usual on the surface, but he ran to the underworld as a living person, even though it was to investigate the case, he was still a little nervous.

It's just that no one...no ghosts can see it.

"Star Lord."

This is Bao Zheng's title in Yin Yang Palace.

Two yamen servants who felt eerie and cold at a glance led him to the main hall.This hall is extremely majestic, and there is no one there, speaking of it, it is not much worse than his yamen in Kaifeng Mansion.

Bao Zheng sat on it, opened the booklet in front of him, and saw that there was still no word on it.

With a sullen face, he said confidently: "Bring the maid who died in the imperial garden two days ago."

Two rows of yamen servants appeared in the empty hall, and there was a "mighty" sound as if he was ascending to a hall in the underworld, and two female ghosts floated over after a while.

There were four scars on each of the two faces. Bao Zheng looked at them, and they were very similar to the two corpses he saw in the morgue.

Bao Zheng nodded secretly, and shouted sharply: "Who is in the hall!"

Although the first sentence of this opening is the same as the previous "mighty", it is an established procedure, and Bao Zheng has been the governor of Kaifeng for many years, so he can't make mistakes without thinking about it.

But the following two are no longer human...

But nothing "ghost" cares about that's all.

The two female ghosts sobbed twice and said to each other, "I am Yu Xueer, a maid from the Shangyi Bureau."

"I'm Qi Fei, the maid of Shangshi Bureau."

It has the same name as the two maids who died in the palace.

Bao Zheng said: "You two died unjustly, the government already knows, but when you died there was no one else, you can see clearly who killed you."

As soon as these words were asked, the two female ghosts couldn't help but shuddered, and Yu said first: "My lord, it was dark at that time, and there was no lantern and moon to illuminate, and the man grabbed me from behind again and covered me with a wet cloth. My mouth and nose..."

Shi Yu trembled again, and so did Qi Shi who was kneeling next to him.

Bao Zheng frowned, and Yu said: "The man's face was still covered with a black cloth, and he was wearing the clothes of a palace eunuch... But although I couldn't see his face clearly, I saw a nail about the size of a fingernail on the tiger's mouth on his right hand. Cover a mole with a third laugh."

Bao Zheng wrote it down, and asked Qi Shi if he had seen anything.

Mrs. Qi thought for a while, then shook her head, "I only saw a mole."

This can be regarded as a clue. There are more than 200 eunuchs in the palace. After checking all of them, they can find someone.but……

"Where is the maid who was killed first?" Bao Zheng asked.

The two female ghosts in the hall shook their heads together, "We never saw her when we came here."

At this moment, Master Ghost, who was standing beside Bao Zheng, took a step forward, and whispered in Bao Zheng's ear, "Perhaps it's not necessarily true that I will reincarnate first."

But Bao Zheng still had some doubts in his heart, "I remember you said last time that ghosts who died for no reason can't be reincarnated until they avenge their grievances."

Master Ghost was stunned for a moment, "It's not that there is no such thing, if this person wants to die wholeheartedly, it's not considered an unjust death. Naturally, it's easy to reincarnate if there is no resentment."

Bao Zheng hummed, recalling Director Wu's earlier conclusion that this little palace lady was beaten to death by a female official, perhaps it should be here.

That's almost the end, Bao Zheng stood up and said: "Take them back, and when we find the real culprit, you can reincarnate."

The two female ghosts bowed down with tears in their eyes, "Thank you, my lord."

Returning on a black horse again, Bao Zheng woke up with a jolt.

Hearing movement inside, Bao Xing entered the room and said, "Guard Zhan and Zhang Long and Zhao Hu have returned from the palace."

Bao Zheng's eyes lit up, "Quickly go and invite Mr. Gongsun."

After a while, the five of them sat together in the study room, and the evidence from the palace was placed on the table.

There was a little relief in Bao Zheng's voice, and he said, "I just went to the Yin-Yang Palace and listened to the confessions of the two female ghosts. The person who killed them was a eunuch, and there was a mole on the tiger's mouth on his right hand."

"Great." Gongsun Ce said, "This will make the investigation much easier."

Bao Zheng nodded, seeing that it was almost dusk outside, he said: "I will go to the palace early in the morning, and ask Director Wu to check all the eunuchs."

Afterwards a few people inspected the items found in the palace, and Zhan Zhao told the young prince again that the eunuchs in the palace only have ten taels of silver at most in a month.

"From this point of view, this huge amount of property is the evidence to buy the murderer and plant it." Bao Zheng picked up the banknotes and checked them one by one, but the more he looked at them, the more he frowned.

"The new bank notes issued by Huitong Bank this year are all 100 taels, and there is nothing to see."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce picked up the gold ingot to check, shook his head and said, "It's also from Huitong Bank." He pointed to the imprint on the underside of the ingot, "It's also from this year."

The five people checked the banknotes, ingots and other objects on the table one by one, and they all came to the same conclusion.

They were all newly issued by Huitong Bank this year, and there was no other trace at all, and the bank notes hadn't even been folded, so nothing could be found.

Bao Zheng sighed, thinking that it is a pity that it is now June, and in the capital city again in half a year, there must be many people who brought up the money and banknotes, but no clue should be let go.

"Mr. Gongsun, please go to Huitong Bank tomorrow to see their account books for this year. Has anyone withdrawn a large amount of banknotes and ingots?"

Gongsun Ce nodded, Bao Zheng said again: "Bring the two eunuchs here."

It's just that the interrogation of the two eunuchs was not very smooth.

The two made up their minds not to open their mouths, and said that they belonged to the emperor, and that beating a dog depends on the owner, etc. Bao Zheng was so angry that he sneered.

"The guillotine in this residence even killed An Lehou, so I'm afraid of you two!"

The two eunuchs looked at each other, Bao Zheng slapped the gavel, both of them shook together, and heard Bao Zheng say again.

"The reason why the government keeps you two is to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but even if you can't find them, you two can't escape the crime of coveting money and murdering people's lives, even though you are not the main culprit..." Bao Zheng paused intentionally. After a pause, he emphasized: "Based on this alone, this government can punish your crimes!"

There was another gavel, and Bao Zheng sternly said: "Put him down and imprison him!"

After the two eunuchs went down, Gongsun Ce said thoughtfully, "I think the people in the palace who asked them to do things agreed to some conditions..."

Bao Zheng nodded, and Gongsun Ce said again: "And this person must be in a high position."

Bao Zheng also agrees with this point, "It's just that the palace is not easy to deal with... the palace..."

"The student has an idea." Gongsun Ce pointed to Zhan Zhao who was escorting the eunuch back to the prison, "The little prince and the guard Zhan hit it off...and today I heard Zhang Long, Zhao Hu say..."

Hearing Zhanwei's performance today, Bao Zheng raised his eyebrows involuntarily, "Mr. Gongsun's meaning... is to ask Zhanwei to negotiate with the young prince?"

Gongsun Ce swallowed his saliva when he spoke the words "Little Prince" so righteously, but felt a little guilty.

Bao Zheng sighed: "It's my government that is worrying too much. Zhan Huwei knows that the young prince is a woman..." He didn't say the next few words.

"Deeds and words are the same as usual, and there is no clue at all. They are so upright and upright. The government originally thought...to let the guards enter the palace with the residence tomorrow."

Gongsun Ce was overjoyed, and before he could say his approval, another question appeared in his heart: Mr. Bao, he...

But looking at Mr. Bao's black face, calm and selfless, he couldn't see any guilt.

Faced with Master Bao like this...Gongsun Ce couldn't even utter a single question.
