The Best Fake Eunuch
Chapter 41 Who is behind the scenes?
The troops patrolling outside the palace wall belonged to Wu Zhongze, the admiral of the Nine Gates, and were not affiliated with his Imperial Forest Army.
So the specific situation, he is not very clear, can not guarantee.
"The purpose of the assassin's arson was to conspire against the Kunning Palace. From the time the fire was fired until they entered the Kunning Palace, and then killed and left, it took less than half an hour. This time is enough for the outside to encircle, so I think the assassin is still there. In the palace." Xiao Chen said in a deep voice.
"Little Eunuch Xiao is right, but even so, our palace is so big, with thousands of houses and tens of thousands of people, and it's dark and windy at night, so it's not easy to search for it." Zhu Xiaochuan Sigh and shake his head.
"Well, what Hou Ye said is that it is indeed difficult to search like this. In the opinion of a villain, it is better to stop the search for now."
Xiao Chen's words were astonishing, everyone was dumbfounded.
But his next explanation is also reasonable.
"The assassin knew that the Baochao Division kept a large amount of cotton and hay, and also knew the location of the Kunning Palace, and there was no trace of it after the incident. It can be seen that he is very familiar with the situation in the palace. If it is a foreigner, I am afraid it will be difficult. That's why the villain thinks that the assassin must have been lurking in the palace long ago!"
"Little Eunuch Xiao means..." Zhu Xiaochuan was thoughtful.
"The villain thinks that assassins are right under our noses. They may be eunuchs, court ladies, royal guards and forbidden soldiers. So the first thing we need to do now is self-examination!"
"Firstly, Xiao Gonggong, you are guessing, and secondly, where do you find so many people?" Wu Zicheng shook his head repeatedly after hearing this.
"Investigate all those who left their posts without permission, those who have always behaved strangely, those who were injured, and no one could prove where he was at the time of the incident... Also, we need to focus on investigating the eunuch guards who were killed with Kunning Palace our acquaintances!"
"I heard that all the dead were fatally wounded. This seems unreasonable, unless they knew each other, so we must kill them to silence them!"
Xiao Chen's analysis greatly narrowed down the range of suspects.
"Okay, that's the way to do it!" Zhu Xiaochuan thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Commander Wu, you check your people, and I check mine. As for the eunuchs and maids in the harem..." looked at Xiao Chen.
"The villain is here to investigate! Then let's split up." Xiao Chen raised his hand at the two of them and strode away.
In fact, he has always been very low-key in his dealings with others. If it was normal, he would not talk too much and make such a big head.
But the current situation is different from the past. As the newly-promoted Nishinomiya Editing Factory who is highly favored by the queen, he must show a certain ability to handle affairs, otherwise, will he lose the queen's face? In the future, I will not be able to sit securely in this position.
Besides, what Li Wanjiang said just now was full of murderous intent, if he didn't find out the matter quickly, I'm afraid he would go into a rage and kill someone. Now the three of them are responsible for this matter. You can guess who Li Wanjiang will kill to vent his anger. Hundred?
What merits and demerits, between rewards and punishments, in the final analysis is not the emperor's words!
Hastily rushed back to the harem, and found all the chief eunuchs and maids in the palace of concubines.
"Everyone knows that this is a matter of losing your head, so I won't talk nonsense, just check your subordinates according to the few points I just said, and check carefully! If there is a mistake, don't blame me for being ruthless! "
"I personally reward three thousand taels of silver for the first report! Five thousand taels of silver for the one who gets the assassin! Cash it out immediately! If you dare to hide things and not report them, and pervert the law for personal gain, once you are found out afterwards, hehe, I guarantee that your life will be worse than death! "
"I'll give you three sticks of incense time, and I'll just wait here at Kunning Palace! Go!"
The eunuchs and maids suddenly agreed, and immediately scattered.
"Is it okay to do this?" Wei Yuntian always felt that this matter was unreliable, and everyone was checking themselves. If the assassin took the opportunity to escape, then Brother Xiao, you should be responsible.
"Is it okay or not? This is the only way to do it." Xiao Chen looked calm and confident on the surface, but in fact he was not completely sure in his heart.
There was no turning back when the bow was opened, so I could only grit my teeth and press on.
This is actually the most basic quality of being a leader, that is, once you decide on something in a certain situation, no matter whether it is right or wrong, you must proceed!
In fact, in his mind, he already had an object of suspicion.
That was Liu Ruyun.
She has a criminal record for murdering the queen!
And if something happens to the empress, she will be the one who will benefit the most in the palace.
She is a heroine who does not let her eyebrows go, she is skilled in bow and horse, and has high martial arts skills. She has won the favor of Li Wanjiang, the emperor who was born in the army.
Moreover, she is the eldest princess of the king of Myanmar, with a noble status, not below the queen, but above the imperial concubine.
The reason why he is ranked third in the palace is only because he entered the palace late.
This woman is as beautiful as a peach blossom, with a heart like a snake and a scorpion. She is decisive and ruthless...
It would be strange if she didn't do what happened tonight!
But Xiao Chen could only hide these words in his heart, secretly worried, but he couldn't tell anyone.
But if it is found out that she did it, it will be quite unfavorable to Xiao Chen.
Because he was originally the person next to Liu Ruyun, and his relationship with her was very close, so if something happened, he would not be able to escape the responsibility no matter what.
If Liu Ruyun was arrested and told her big secret...
If you don't have to ask, you're dead.
So at this moment, Xiao Chen was very conflicted in his heart. He wanted to find out the matter, but he was afraid of getting burned.
He didn't expect things to go smoothly beyond his expectations.
Before the stick of incense burned out, an assassin was caught!
But it was an eunuch in a concubine's palace. This guy had injuries, and when he was investigated, he looked panic-stricken. He was immediately pulled out, and he was brought to Xiao Chen in a bundle.
Everyone was ecstatic, but Xiao Chen remained calm.
"I remember that your name is Zhang An, and you are some distant nephew of Zhang Zifang. He is the one who recommended you to enter the palace, right?"
"As for the words, I won't say much. You know about Jin Yiwei's torture. If you confess your accomplice honestly, I will give you a happy ending and protect your family from death, otherwise..." Xiao Chen giggled, especially cruel.
"Liu Peng, Chen Liang from Jin Yiwei, Zhao Feihu from the Imperial Army, Brother Hu, Zhao Laifu from the Supervisor of Ceremonies..." Zhang An is an assassin, but he is not a dead man. He just wants to die happily.
"Zhao Laifu? Hehe, I have long seen that he is not a good guy." Xiao Chen laughed loudly, he did not expect that there would be unexpected gains.
Zhu Xiaochuan and Wu Zicheng never expected that Xiao Chen would take down all the assassins in less than half an hour. Overjoyed, they immediately looked at him with admiration!
Wu Zicheng couldn't express his admiration for him, so he punched him hard in the chest to show his respect.
Xiao Chen almost vomited blood.
The assassin was caught, but the matter was far from over.
So who sent you to assassinate the Queen?
One Marquis, one second-rank leader, one third-rank pen holder, and the three of them personally interrogated. This standard is not low.
The few assassins were flattered and immediately confessed honestly.
They uttered an earth-shattering name in unison.
The faces of the three people in the hall were so scared that they paled instantly, and they almost fucked up!
