So Zhao Yun wrote, "Little birds and big birds fly together to grab food for the winter."
After writing it, Zhao Yun folded it and put it under the bean cake, and finally Zhang Chu took it away.
"Xia You, I will continue to investigate the murder case."
The major assassination case has not yet been concluded. This is a sword hanging over everyone's head. Zhao Yun must always hold this sword to make his existence known.
Zhao Yun summoned Xia You openly and without fear of being discovered.
Zhao Yun's investigation of the case was tacitly approved by Empress Dowager Yang, and it was normal to have guards around him. Empress Dowager Yang and Shi Miyuan also believed that Xia Zhen would not betray them, so they could use Xia Guixia's origins to monitor Zhao Yun.
Of course, Zhao Yun still had to control the extent of the relationship between Zhao Yun and Xia Guixiayou at all times to avoid arousing suspicion.
Soon, Xia You came, and Zhao Yun and Xia You had a duel in the study.
Zhao Yun asked: "Last time I asked you to investigate Liu Qi's affairs, how did your investigation go?"
Xia You said: "Back to your majesty, I got the news yesterday and was about to report to your majesty that Liu Qi built a house outside the palace and raised a woman. She didn't leave after Liu Qi died and stayed there well.
, she may know something, I thought I could interrogate her."
"He also has a woman?"
Zhao Yun was a little surprised. Liu Qi is a eunuch. What does a eunuch do to raise a woman? Isn't this a waste?
"Go and have a look."
Zhao Yun and Xia You disguised themselves as ordinary people and left the palace.
The two walked around until they finally came to a house and knocked on the door. An old man showed half of his head and asked who they were looking for.
Xia Gui presented a few copper coins and said with a smile: "We are fellow villagers of Liu Qi and Liu Gong. We are here to visit. Please inform us."
The old man got the benefit, agreed with a smile, and went to report it.
Not long after, the old man came back, opened the door and said, "My wife said that the Lord is not here, and asked you to come back later."
Zhao Yun was impatient and winked at Xia You. Xia You directly pressed the old man's hands back, preventing him from moving.
The old man was shocked and was about to shout, but when Xia You exerted force, the old man gritted his teeth and cracked his mouth in pain and did not dare to scream again.
Entering inside, Xia You asked the old man to lead the way to the master bedroom.
The sound of a man and a woman gasping could be heard from inside. Zhao Yun opened the door and took a look, only to see a man and woman inside doing that embarrassing thing.
Both of them were shocked. The woman quickly pulled up the quilt to cover her body, while the man picked up his pants and ran away.
"Where to go?"
Xia You grabbed the old man with one hand and grabbed the man's arm with the other hand, like an eagle catching a chicken, and didn't find it difficult at all.
The man resisted, cursed, and tried to kick Xia You. Xia You took action first and kicked him to the ground. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
Zhao Yun said kindly to the old man: "Old man, we don't mean any harm. You go to your room to rest first. Don't think about escaping and reporting to the police. That's asking for death."
"Yes, yes, the old man is ignorant and bumped into this young master. Please forgive me."
When the old man learned that he would not be killed, he agreed repeatedly and hid in the side room.
Then Zhao Yun looked at the man. The man was rolling on the ground in pain. He wanted to scream several times, but when he saw Xia You staring at him fiercely, the man did not dare to scream and could only endure it.
Zhao Yun walked up to the woman and wanted to ask her questions, but saw that she was covering her body with a quilt and it was difficult to ask, so he turned around and went outside to wait for her to get dressed and come out.
When the woman saw that Zhao Yun allowed her to get dressed and spoke in a polite manner, it was obvious that he belonged to a certain family, she gradually felt relieved, put on her clothes and went out.
"Wu Xiaoqiao, the slave, has met the young master."
His name is true to his name, he is petite and lovable, but his character seems to be unflattering.
Zhao Yun said calmly: "Who are you, Liu Qi? Tell the truth, otherwise you will be the one to suffer."
Wu Xiaoqiao was scared and timidly said: "The slave family was originally kind, but because my father owed gambling debts, he sold me. After going around a lot, I was bought by Liu Qi. We are master and servant, but...
,,but,,,actually it is his plaything.
But he is a member of the Yellow Gate in the palace and cannot be treated humanely. He is a lunatic and likes to whip slaves and torture them to death every time."
As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqiao was about to lift up her clothes to show Zhao Yun the scars on her body, but Zhao Yun stopped her in time and was not interested in seeing.
Zhao Yun asked again: "Liu Qi is dead. You don't have to be afraid of him anymore. Do you know his secrets? For example, who did he work for and who did he know?"
Wu Xiaoqiao hesitated for a while, and wanted to speak several times, but seeing Zhao Yun's imposing manner, she was afraid that her lies would be exposed.
Looking at Xia You's murderous look, Wu Xiaoqiao was even more afraid of causing death, so she confessed honestly.
"On the surface Liu Qiming serves the officials, but he was bribed by Mr. Shi a few years ago to monitor the affairs of the officials and the palace for Mr. Shi."
"How do you know? He would tell you such a thing?"
"A few times he got drunk and bragged to the slave family, and then the slave family knew about it."
Zhao Yun nodded, acknowledging her words. "Liu Qi is dead, why don't you leave?"
Wu Xiaoqiao looked at the man who was subdued by Xia You and said, "He refused to let me leave and said that I could ask Mr. Shi for some money in the future."
Zhao Yun looked at the man and smiled disdainfully: "There are really some people in this world who are brave but not smart."
Then, Zhao Yun asked the woman to write down everything she knew.
It was a pity that the woman couldn't write, so Zhao Yun asked Xia You to write it for her. The woman signed and stamped it, and a charge sheet came out.
Finally, Zhao Yun asked Xia You to make arrangements and hide the woman, maybe she would be used in the future.
As for that man, Zhao Yun asked Xia You to kill him. It was not a good thing anyway, so as not to leak the news.
After finishing the matters here, Zhao Yun went directly to Yang Shi's mansion.
Yang Shi is the nephew of Empress Dowager Yang. Zhao Yun has never met him before. Zhao Yun left the palace today most likely because of him.
When he learned that Zhao Yun had arrived, Yang Shi was so surprised that he didn't react for a long time and couldn't understand why Zhao Yun came to his mansion.
"The officials are investigating a major assassination case. Could it be that they suspect me?"
Thinking of this possibility, Yang Shi's eyes darkened, he almost fainted, and his face turned pale.
"Quickly, call out all the young and old, and come to greet the officials. Anyone who dares to be rude today will be punished by family law and will not be spared."
Yang Shi attached great importance to Zhao Yun, for fear of neglecting Zhao Yun, and even more fear that he would be involved in a major assassination case. He treated Zhao Yun's arrival as the biggest event in his life, and called the whole family out to welcome Zhao Yun with the most solemn ceremony.
Yun.
Just like that, dozens of members of the Yang family, old and young, all came out, knelt on the ground, and greeted Zhao Yun with great respect.
This scene was not small, and Zhao Yun was a little surprised. This chapter has been completed!
