The little chamberlain helped Eunuch Sun roll up Zhuo Ping, trembling and waiting for instructions.
Eunuch Sun glanced at the dark sky, gritted his teeth and said: "After a while, we will carry it out when it gets almost dawn."
The little chamberlain asked: "Where to carry it? If you go out of the city to the mass graves and don't have a document in hand, the city gate guards will not let you go."
After all, he is a dead person.
Eunuch Sun didn't know this, so he cursed: "What mass grave? According to the regulations, it is necessary to report and report. It is not a rare thing to die after falling on your head!"
Hearing this, the young chamberlain subconsciously looked towards the inner hall.
The oil lamp inside was still on, reflecting Li Jun's figure.
The little chamberlain lowered her eyes again.
It was obvious that His Highness had his head smashed, but it could only be regarded as an accident. This is what slaves like them are like...
"Okay, don't think so much," Eunuch Sun urged, "move the straw mat to the front first. Are you putting it here to wait for scolding?"
The spring nights are getting shorter.
There was fish belly vomiting in the sky, and Yongji Palace reported the accidental death of a chamberlain.
Not long after, a shrewd-looking old eunuch arrived with two men.
He seems to be a little angry about getting out of bed, so he is naturally not too polite to Eunuch Sun.
The old eunuch inspected Zhuoping's body and asked coldly: "Did you accidentally fall on your head?"
Eunuch Sun insisted: "Yes."
"Do you think the Zajia family is blind?" the old eunuch spat.
Eunuch Sun asked, "Then you mean that I or other eunuch guards killed people?"
The old lady listened to his tone and smiled.
He asked the people who brought him to collect the straw mats and move them away. The old eunuch waved and motioned for Eunuch Sun to speak aside.
"The Zajia family can probably guess at whose hands the lives in Yongji Palace are lost," he said, "The Zajia family has no other requests, let's save each other some trouble.
You should do your work well in Yongji Palace, don't go out to have tea or wine at night, and guard this three-quarter acre of land.
The Zajia family’s requirements are not high, right?
What does it mean?
This is not easy for everyone, don’t you think?”
After saying a few words, Eunuch Sun's neck was covered in cold sweat.
This is not a requirement, this is clearly a warning!
An old eunuch who handles accidents among eunuchs is on the same page as Yongji Palace, so why should he give a warning? It is even more impossible to know that he went out last night!
This is even more powerful. It is probably Eunuch Cao who is warning him.
Eunuch Sun couldn't help but become afraid.
Too.
The Duke of Fu came here yesterday, and no matter what was said in it, it represented what the Holy One meant.
In this case, how can no one keep an eye on Yongji Palace?
Then he went to see his master in a panic last night...
At that time, he was absent-minded and simply paid attention to see if anyone was following him. Now that he thought about it, there was no guarantee that he was not being followed.
Where is the master?
Eunuch Sun wiped his sweat.
Suddenly, he understood.
What did Cheng Xi say at that time?
"Where you can come to the door casually, the master can be here?"
That’s what it means.
Yes, he is in the Yongji Palace like this, a chess piece that can be easily exposed if there is any disturbance. How can he find the real whereabouts of his master?
Three Cunning Rabbit Cave.
The house yesterday was more like Cheng Xi's cave than the master's cave.
That evil bunny who succeeds as a villain!
The sky glowed red.
When Xu Jian arrived at the imperial study, the Holy Master had just returned from the court, and he was followed by Li Shao and Ruan Wei, the Minister of Punishment.
Starting today, Li Shao will go to the Ministry of Punishment to observe the administration.
Ruan Wei said a lot in front of the emperor, and concluded that "His Royal Highness will definitely be informed of the real situation in the Ministry of Punishment, and will not just go through the motions."
Xu Jian listened for a while and was invited out by Eunuch Cao with a look.
The two quickly exchanged messages.
Because of the meeting, several people returned to Qianbu Corridor later than usual.
Entering the Criminal Department, Ruan Shangshu led the way, introduced the layout of the yamen to Li Shao, and called two ministers and important officials to greet Li Shao.
After greeting everyone and sitting down in the packed room, it was almost noon.
Xu Jian did not rest, but followed the same method as before when he was observing politics in the Ministry of Rites. He went to the warehouse to dig out some old documents and let Li Shao look at them.
As for the case files of Dingguo Temple...
Wang Gouzi followed Li Shao step by step today, but Xu Jian did not move. He planned to take advantage of the late meeting in a few days to come out from the warehouse to copy.
When Xu Jian walked into the study room holding a thick pile of documents, Li Shao couldn't help but frown.
"So many?" he muttered.
Xu Jian was not surprised and took out a volume: "Your Majesty, you can take a look at this first in the afternoon. This case is interesting. I have seen their detailed records when I was in charge of the Shuntian Mansion.
Well, it's almost time for lunch break. I'll go to Shuntian Mansion and ask Mr. Shan for a copy so that His Highness can compare it."
Li Shao didn't care much: "It's up to you."
Shuntianfu.
Shan Shen served noodle soup in the back office with two big buns and a pile of pickles. It was hot and tasted just right.
When he heard that Duke Fu was coming, he felt something was not right. He put down his chopsticks and went out with only the buns.
While walking and eating, the two met under the moon cave door.
"I'm interrupting Mr. Shan's dinner," Xu Jian greeted and said the purpose of his visit, "I saw a case file before and wanted to show it to His Highness, so I came to pick it up during the lunch break."
Shan Shen almost choked in his throat after taking a bite of the bun.
It's just a case file, just ask Shen Chen or Xuan Su to come over. Why is there no need for the Duke of Guo to come in person?
After patting his chest to catch his breath, Shan Shen asked in a low voice: "Of course it's not a problem to ask for the case file, but what kind of secrets are there? Lord Guo, can you tell me about it?"
Xu Jian just smiled and said nothing.
Shan Shen looked around, didn't say anything more, and led the people to the warehouse first.
The clerk in charge of the warehouse was nibbling steamed buns.
"Give me the key," Shan Shen stretched out his hand, "You can eat what you have."
The clerk was in a hurry to respond.
Shan Shen personally opened the warehouse for Xu Jian.
Xu Jian first looked for the needed case files, and then walked around to the shelf on the other side.
Shan Shen raised his eyes and saw that what was displayed above were archives of the deeds of shops and houses in various streets and alleys in the capital.
Then, he watched Xu Jian take out a book and flipped through several pages in succession.
"Changshan Hutong?" Shan Shen asked softly, "Which house does the Duke of Guo have his eyes on?"
Xu Jian chuckled lightly.
It was because he had taken a liking to the house that Eunuch Cao's men followed Eunuch Sun all the way here yesterday.
Eunuch Cao went to check on Eunuch Sun's background, and Xu Jian came to find out who the surname of the house was.
"I really don't think Master Shan should listen carefully," Xu Jian said in a calm tone, "I went to Yongji Palace yesterday, and in the early morning, a young eunuch died there. As for Changshan Alley and death
The relationship between the eunuchs..."
"No!" Shan Shen waved his hand with a look of rejection, "Don't tell me, I won't listen!"
