Chapter 96 Murder in the Palace 5

Li Gongbai's expression remained unchanged, "You servant, don't you understand what Du Tou said?"

"Humph, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand!" Xu Xian turned to Fan Zhi and cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Fan, to explain to everyone."

Fan Zhi stood up with a smile and bowed his bow, "There is a widely circulated palace poem in the Han Dynasty in the South of Ling Dynasty, 'Don't blame the palace people for praising their food, because most of them are well-dressed and the number one scholar'. The deep palace is lonely, and the matter of eating food has been popular in all dynasties since the Han Dynasty.

In all dynasties, there are eunuchs who eat in pairs with palace maids, and there are also palace maids who eat in pairs.

However, after all, they cannot practice human ethics and have no moral laws to restrain them. They often change their minds when they see things differently. If there are no restraints, they create restraints, cut open the palms of their hands with a sharp knife, and high-five each other, vowing never to betray each other."

Guo Wei smiled and said: "I know that there is a ban on food in the palace, but this is the first time I have heard of such a thing."

"I also saw it in a miscellaneous book. It is said that the oath was extremely vicious. If it were not for a palace official whose love is as strong as gold, he would not do it. Moreover, ordinary palace officials may not know about this kind of thing. I just went upstairs to do an autopsy. I saw

The palace maid had such a scar on her palm, so I remembered it."

Xu Xian looked at Li Gongbai, "If what I expected is correct, you will be Lu Zhu's opponent." As he spoke, he grabbed one of Li Gongbai's hands, "Why not?"

Fan Zhi pointed at the side: "Look at the other hand."

Li Gongbai said, "You don't have to look at it. There is indeed a scar on my hand, but it was accidentally injured in the early years."

"I just think it's a coincidence!" Xu Xian walked back and took out a simple waist ornament from the tray, made of red rope and copper coins. Ordinary palace people were not qualified and could not afford to buy such jade jewelry.

It is very common to use copper coins to make waist ornaments.

Xu Xian looked at the words on the copper coin and said: "If I guessed correctly, the copper coin hanging on your waist should also be a treasure of heaven's blessings. If this is still a coincidence, find a knowledgeable person in the palace.

You can tell whether the weaving technique was made by the same person."

"Even if this eunuch and the deceased were rivals, what does it have to do with Luzhu's death?"

It was Feng Dao who criticized Xu Xian again. The old man didn't know what medicine he took wrongly. Chai Rong was already the crown prince and would be crowned emperor sooner or later. It would not be of any benefit to him to have trouble with Chai Rong now. Could it be that his magic of holding the thigh failed?

Already.

"Xiaoguan didn't say that he killed anyone now. He just said that he and Lvzhu were motivated to kill Shi Youqing."

"As I said before, Li Gongbai was outside the pavilion all the time. He didn't break the door bolt with another person until he heard the noise and entered the pavilion together. It's impossible for him to kill people under the eyes of others."

Xu Xian looked at the broken door bolt and said to Old Mutou, "Tou Mu, please find a door bolt of the same material and thickness."

Not long after Old Mutou went out, he quickly found a similar door bolt and gave it to Xu Xian. Xu Xian said to the eunuch: "You go out, I want to see how you break this door bolt."

Li Gongbai's face turned pale when he heard this, and his throat kept rolling up and down. All the people present could see his guilty conscience at a glance.

"My slave injured her arm when she hit the door before. She has no energy left to hit it a second time."

"If you don't, I can find someone else. Commander Li, I wonder if you would like to give it a try."

"Then I'll help you!" Li Chongjin strode outside, while Xu Xian bolted the door inside the house, "Commander Li, you can hit him now!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud noise from the door. The whole door trembled, causing dust to fall. It was obvious that Li Chongjin had tried his best.

Li Chongjin knocked against the door six times before he heard a crisp click and the door bolt broke. Li Chongjin staggered into the house and almost fell down.

Zhao Kuangyin slapped his thigh and pointed at the eunuch and said: "You eunuch is lying again. Commander Li is as strong as an ox and it took him six times to break the door bolt. When I heard the noise at night, you only hit it two or three times. It's all up to you."

How could such a thin body break the door bolt and get in?"

It's just spring now, but there are big beads of sweat on Li Gongbai's face, pattering down his temples. He is obviously extremely nervous, "I don't know, maybe the door latch has long since rotted."

If anyone still believes him at this moment, it is not stupid but bad. This pavilion was built by Guo Wei in memory of his deceased wife. Although it is not big, it is thoughtful. It was completed less than a year ago. How could it have decayed.

Xu Xian said coldly: "I don't think it's rotten, but the door bolt was broken when you hit the door."

Feng Dao did not jump out this time, but Zhang Dejun, the silent eunuch, said: "I'm afraid this is impossible. When Sister Luzhu closed the door, the door bolt was still in good condition. Later, the slave girl and Li Gongbai knocked on the door together. Although the slave girl was thin,

, but it can also feel a bit strenuous.”

"The reason why you feel difficulty is because when he knocked on the door, he was holding the door knocker with one hand while banging on the door. It was still dark at the time and you didn't notice it at all!"

Xu Xian walked outside the pavilion and asked Zhao Kuangyin to install a broken door bolt inside and demonstrate. Everyone looked like they suddenly understood. The secret room's cover-up was finally broken.

"At night, after Lu Zhu served King Jin to sleep, he quietly opened the door and let him in. Then the two had a private affair. Li Gongbai strangled Lu Zhu and placed it on King Jin's bed. Then he broke the door bolt and placed it on King Jin's bed.

Behind the door, when King Jin discovered the body, he broke in through the door just as I demonstrated before. He thought he could hide it from the sky, but he couldn't deceive my crystal-clear eyes."

"You... are just making random slanders without any evidence." Li Gongbai suddenly rushed to Feng Dao's eyes and begged: "Although I am just an eunuch, I still care about innocence. I am innocent and have been wronged. I ask the Grand Master to make the decision for me.

.”

Feng Dao didn't know how to solve crimes, but he was good at observing faces and people's ways. The eunuch was so guilty that he almost had the word "murderer" written on his face. If he defended Li Gongbai at this time, he would really be an old man.

Confused.

"Whether you are innocent or not, you know best." Feng Dao did not look at him again, but looked at Xu Xian and said: "I just heard Wen Su say that the palace maid has essence residue on her body, what should I explain? Don't forget that he is an eunuch.

, you just show the evidence and let him die clearly."

"There are so many men in the world, so what's the difficulty in getting some essence to carry with you? What is Mr. Mu doing in a daze? Why aren't you searching his body?"

Old Mu Tou immediately held down Li Gongbai and touched his body with a pair of rough hands. Unexpectedly, he found nothing, "Not even a small bottle!"

Guo Wei suddenly said: "Who said he must have a bottle? Take off his shoes for me!"
