Volume Six: The Peaceless Case of Jing'an Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Four: Re-entering the Imperial City Division
"Dugu Haoyue?" Xing Qianqiu frowned slightly after listening to Duan Ming's words: "He hasn't done anything extraordinary recently."
"Don't you find it strange?" Duan Ming said: "Dugu Haoyue used to be the commander of the Mirror Division, but now he is demoted. How can he be so willing?"
"You mean, Dugu Haoyue has been hiding." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"That's right." Duan Ming nodded: "Based on what Dugu Haoyue did during the Blood Sedan Case in the Imperial City, Dugu Haoyue must be inextricably linked to the Immortality Sect."
"So, at this special moment, Dugu Haoyue is very likely to do something to regain his position as the commander of the Spiegel Division."
"I understand." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "I will be careful."
"Well." Duan Ming sighed: "I hope this matter can be resolved satisfactorily."
Early the next morning, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu went separate ways. Duan Ming, accompanied by Xu Shizhong, went directly to the Imperial City Division to ask for an audience with Song Rengui.
When Song Rengui heard that Duan Ming was looking for him, he didn't hesitate at all and hurriedly sent someone to lead Duan Ming in.
"Commander Song." Duan Ming sat in the Imperial City Hall, looked around, and then said to Song Rengui: "Don't talk nonsense, I am here for two things."
"Mr. Duan, please speak." Song Rengui nodded.
"First, I want to see all the letters between Yu Chen and King Jing'an, as well as the testimony of King Guangsheng." Duan Ming said.
"These things are not in the Imperial City Department at the moment." Song Rengui said: "Except for the two letters I gave to Mr. Duan last time, the rest are in your Majesty's hands and I cannot get them."
"That's right." Duan Ming nodded. Duan Ming had no doubts about this issue.
These things concern King Jing'an, so it is not an exaggeration for His Majesty to keep them personally.
"There is a second thing." Duan Ming said: "I wonder if Commander Song knows what major events happened in the palace just before King Jing'an's accident?"
"If you want to talk about something big, there was a violent explosion before Chongming Palace, which seems to be related to Tiangongfang." Song Rengui said.
"That's right." Song Rengui said: "But Chongming Palace has been idle in the past, so the explosion did not hurt anyone. Well, Chongming Palace was destroyed."
"Um, have those old guys really developed the complete version of gunpowder?" Duan Ming's mouth twitched slightly: "Then what happens next?"
"Then? Then His Majesty asked people to move Tiangongfang out of the imperial city." Song Rengui said: "By the way, His Majesty's mood seemed very wrong at that time."
"Is there any problem?" Duan Ming asked solemnly.
"I don't know, I can't tell." Song Rengui said, trying hard to recall.
"Okay, I understand." Duan Ming nodded: "Thank you, Commander Song."
"You're welcome, if you can find my place, just ask." Song Rengui said, and then Song Rengui seemed to remember something: "Mr. Duan, please wait a moment."
Immediately afterwards, Song Rengui left, not knowing where he went.
"Mr. Duan." Xu Shizhong said softly: "Do you think there was something wrong with that explosion?"
"Yes." Duan Ming nodded: "I had doubts when I asked you and heard you said that you had heard of Thunder in the Day. Now it seems that it is indeed related to Tiangongfang."
"Then what should we do next? Do we want to go to Tiangongfang?" Xu Shizhong said.
"Of course." Duan Ming said: "I want to see how far Tiangongfang has achieved."
While Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong were talking, Song Rengui had already walked back, and a little girl was following behind Song Rengui.
"Qing'er?" Duan Ming smiled immediately when he saw the little girl.
This is exactly the little girl who lived in the palace of Concubine Ming, who called herself "the first general under her command".
"Mr. Duan knows her? That's easy." Song Rengui said.
"We met once before during the Imperial City Blood Sedan Case, but why is she here?" Duan Ming asked doubtfully.
According to Li Waner's previous statement, as Concubine Ming's death was confirmed, Qing'er should have transferred to serve in another palace. How could she appear here?
"This was Princess Mingzhu's original request." Song Rengui said: "Princess Mingzhu liked her very much and originally wanted to take her out of the palace, but before Princess Mingzhu could find the Queen, this happened...
…”
"Duan, Mr. Duan!" At this moment, Qing'er suddenly shouted: "Is Sister Mingfei really dead?"
"Indeed, this is what Palace Master Chi Yuan said personally." Duan Ming sighed: "I'm sorry."
"..." Qing'er immediately lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
"Commander Song, why did you bring her here?" Duan Ming looked at Song Rengui and asked doubtfully.
"Princess Mingzhu wants her to leave the palace, so Qing'er has nowhere to go and can only stay in Mingde Palace." Song Rengui said: "But there is no one else in Mingde Palace recently, and Song is worried about Qing'er.
My daughter will have an accident, so I want Mr. Duan to take her away from the palace."
"Shall I take Qing'er away?" Duan Ming was stunned: "Isn't this inappropriate?"
"Actually, I just want to trouble Mr. Duan to take her away. Princess Mingzhu and Commander Xing are in love with each other." Song Rengui said, "So it would be more appropriate for Commander Xing to give Qing'er to Commander Xing's care."
"But, if I take Qing'er away, wouldn't it be against the rules?" Duan Ming asked doubtfully.
"Mr. Duan, you don't need to think too much." Song Rengui said: "Before this happened, Princess Mingzhu had already completed most of the procedures and was only waiting for the Empress's consent, so Qing'er is actually semi-free now."
"Later on, Qing'er heard about Princess Mingzhu, so she took the initiative to apply to leave the palace."
"I want to see if I can help Princess Mingzhu with my own meager strength."
"Therefore, Qing'er can leave the palace at any time now."
"Okay." Duan Ming nodded. He still found it difficult to accept the rules in this world's palace.
As a palace maid, a servant, being able to get married is a bit unimaginable.
And you can apply to leave the palace at any time, which is even more incredible.
"Mr. Duan." At this moment, Qing'er raised her head and looked at Duan Ming: "Qing'er doesn't want to go to the criminal commander now. Qing'er wants to stay with you."
"Why?" Duan Ming looked at Qing'er in confusion.
"Qing'er failed to protect Sister Mingfei last time. This time, Qing'er must protect Sister Wan'er." Qing'er said extremely seriously: "So, if Qing'er wants to follow you, you can definitely rescue Sister Wan'er.
of."
"Why, do you still want to be Princess Wan'er's general?" Duan Ming said with a smile.
