Hu Xiaotian said: "The Taoist is one foot taller than the devil. We have to wait and see who is smarter between the two of them." When he said this, Hu Xiaotian suddenly thought of Quan De'an. Quan De'an seems to have been there recently.
Suddenly he became much quieter, and he didn't even take the initiative to contact him. Could it be that he was quietly accumulating strength and preparing to attack Ji Feihua with all his strength? Or was he wary because he and Ji Feihua were too close?
Although there was some resistance, Hu Xiaotian still couldn't turn a deaf ear to Wenya's summons, and left the Siyuan Bureau with Bao Bao. Before leaving, Shi Xuedong sent two hand stoves. Hu Xiaotian accepted one and gave the other to Bao Bao.
Bao. The two of them walked side by side towards Mingyue Palace. The snow had just stopped, and the roads in the inner courtyard of the palace were already filled with eunuchs cleaning. Hu Xiaotian's popularity in the palace was also increasing day by day. When he was walking, many eunuchs stopped.
The workers inside saluted him.
The two came to Mingyue Palace and saw that the road outside Mingyue Palace had been cleared. Wang Ren stood in front of the door with his hands in his sleeves and looked forward to something. When he saw Hu Xiaotian and the others coming back, he quickly went up to greet him and saluted Hu Xiaotian: "
Eunuch Hu, you are finally back. The Queen has arrived and is asking about you."
Hu Xiaotian's heart skipped a beat. Queen Jian really cared about Wenya. How could a woman let go of the jealousy in her heart if she didn't share the same hatred? Hu Xiaotian didn't dare to delay and quickly entered the Mingyue Palace. He met Queen Jian's personal bodyguard in front of the door.
Eunuch Zhao Jinxi. Zhao Jinxi said with an arrogant look: "Mustache is here, the Queen and the talented people are waiting for you."
Hu Xiaotian sneered. He didn't have a good impression of Zhao Jinxi either. He thought that the young eunuch and Wang Decai had tricked him back then, but now Wang Decai was dead. But this guy was still alive. Zhao Jinxi was the queen's personal eunuch, and his status in the palace was
It can be regarded as transcendent. In the past, he has never paid attention to young eunuchs like Hu Xiaotian, but now. Hu Xiaotian has become the young eunuch of Siyuan Bureau and concurrently serves as the eunuch in charge of Mingyue Palace. In terms of status, he has actually surpassed
This mustache was actually an expression of his inner dissatisfaction.
Hu Xiaotian didn't rush in. He stared at Zhao Jinxi's eyes with cold eyes until he saw the other person lowered his head. Then he said coldly: "Did Zajia hear you wrong? What did you call me just now?"
Zhao Jinxi did not dare to respond, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
Hu Xiaotian said: "We don't meet often, and you may not understand the temperament of the Zajia family well. I am a man who will retaliate for my anger, haha. So for people like me, it's best not to offend me."
Thinking of Wang Decai's final encounter, Zhao Jinxi became more and more frightened. He secretly regretted that he had been so quick to talk, so he could not offend this guy. He suddenly surrendered in his heart and whispered: "Eunuch Hu, the Queen and the others are all waiting for you.
…”
Hu Xiaotian nodded with satisfaction. He reached out and patted Zhao Jinxi on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Xizi, in fact, we are all the same kind of people, and we should take care of each other. Are you right?"
"Eunuch Hu is absolutely right, Eunuch Hu is absolutely right..."
Hu Xiaotian doesn't look down on such a characterless person at all, even worse than Wang Decai.
When they came to the palace, they saw Queen Jian and Wen Ya sitting on both sides of the carved rosewood tea table, drinking tea. Queen Jian was wearing a yellow robe with hundreds of birds facing the phoenix, and a phoenix crown inlaid with gold and emeralds. The whole person was like a package.
It was coated with a layer of rich gold, so gorgeous and brilliant that it made Hu Xiaotian almost unable to open his eyes. It was so dazzling. On the other hand, Wenya only wore a blue dress and her hair was tied into a lotus bun. Apart from a simple silver hairpin, there were no other
There are no unnecessary decorations. The comparison between the two does not make the elegance seem inferior. Instead, it brings out her pure temperament of hibiscus from clear water. Her elegant eyes are extremely moving, her eyes are flowing, and she has an innate charming temperament. She lives up to her name.
, elegant and dignified. Although Queen Jane's dress is full of nobility, it can't hide the inner tackiness.
Queen Jian glanced at Hu Xiaotian from the corner of her eyes and said slowly: "Hu Xiaotian, I asked you to take good care of talented people, but you seem to be violating the rules!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not that Xiaotian is acting against his will, but that there are too many things going on recently. Xiaotian is exhausted and cannot take care of both sides of some things."
Empress Jian snorted coldly and said: "Then I will tell them later and let you leave the affairs of the Siyuan Bureau to others, and serve the talented people in Mingyue Palace with peace of mind."
Hu Xiaotian cursed in his heart, I only have one-third of an acre of land, but you actually want to touch it and deprive me of the power of the Siyuan Bureau. There is no way.
At this time, Wen Ya said: "Mustache is quite conscientious, and there is nothing going on in Mingyue Palace anyway, so my sister, I asked him to go to the Siyuan Bureau more. After all, he has important responsibilities there."
Empress Jian held Wen Ya's hand and said, "Sister, you have a good temper, but you still have to beat these slaves when they should be beaten, otherwise they will become spoiled and get in trouble."
Wenya said: "Don't worry, sister, I will remember it."
Hu Xiaotian secretly thought, the relationship between the two is really getting closer and closer, and they have already called themselves sisters in a few days. How can they be so hypocritical, so a common enemy can bring the two together quickly. Their common enemy should be
Ji Feihua.
Queen Jian said: "It's time for me to leave, sister. You must remember what I just told you."
"Sister, don't worry, I won't forget." Wenya stood up and saw her off, and Hu Xiaotian followed behind her. They sent Queen Jian outside Mingyue Palace, when they met Chen Chengqiang, the commander of the guards. Chen Chengqiang and the two guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward.
Greetings.
Queen Jian glanced at the guards: "What are you doing here?"
Chen Chengqiang said: "Because of the murder case in Mingyue Palace, I specially asked Eunuch Hu about something."
Hu Xiaotian felt unhappy. This guy seemed to be relying on him. Even Ji Feihua said that he would no longer investigate the cause of Ma Liangpeng's death, but Chen Chengqiang was holding on to him. Could it be that he really wanted to punish me?
Queen Jian turned around and glanced at Mingyue Palace, and sighed softly. She thought of Wang Decai who died in Mingyue Palace, and suddenly had an ominous feeling. Two lives had been lost in a short period of time. Could it be that Mingyue Palace was really an ominous place?
land.
After Empress Jian left, Chen Chengqiang came to Wen Ya again and saluted: "A talented man, I am a humble man and there are some matters that require Eunuch Hu to cooperate in the investigation."
Wenya said: "Hu Xiaotian is here. If you have anything to ask him directly." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Hu Xiaotian also turned around and left. Chen Chengqiang said: "Eunuch Hu, stay here."
Hu Xiaotian ignored him at all and continued to move forward slowly. The two guards who had followed Chen Chengqiang strode forward and blocked Hu Xiaotian's path. Hu Xiaotian narrowed his eyes and looked at them. He sneered: "What a good dog!"
Blocking the road, don’t you two understand such a simple principle?”
The two guards suddenly changed their expressions and looked at Hu Xiaotian angrily.
Chen Chengqiang smiled behind Hu Xiaotian and said: "Eunuch Hu, please don't get me wrong. We just want to ask Eunuch Hu about something and have no other intentions."
Hu Xiaotian said: "If you have anything to say, just say it. After saying it all at once, the Za family still has a lot of things to do."
"It won't take too long." Chen Chengqiang glanced at the gate of Mingyue Palace: "Why don't we go to Eunuch Hu's room to talk."
Hu Xiaotian refused unceremoniously: "Let me just say here that Mingyue Palace is the residence of talented people, and it will be inconvenient for Chen Shiwei to go in and out."
Chen Chengqiang smiled and said: "Then let's talk here." He dismissed the two guards and then said: "On the night when Ma Liangpeng was killed, was Eunuch Hu in the room by himself, or was there someone else in the room?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "What do you mean, Commander Chen? Of course the Za family is here alone."
Chen Chengqiang said: "According to what Eunuch Hu said, you heard the palace maid calling for help that night, so you rushed out to save people."
"good!"
"But we found the hair of two people in Eunuch Hu's room."
Hu Xiaotian chuckled and said: "Hair?"
Chen Chengqiang said: "It was on Eunuch Hu's bed. Although the hair is tiny, you can still find the difference in texture and taste. Based on these clues, it is not difficult to find the owner of the hair."
Hu Xiaotian sneered and said: "I really can't see that Commander Chen is still a master of investigating crimes. With your ability, you don't want to work as a detective in the Criminal Department. Instead, you come to the palace to guard the gate. It's really unworthy of your talent."
Chen Chengqiang didn't pay attention to Hu Xiaotian's cynicism, and added: "There are some broken tiles in the courtyard of Mingyue Palace. According to my on-site inspection, these tiles happened to come from the roof of Eunuch Hu's house. It seems that Eunuch Hu has committed suicide."
His skills are good, he can climb over walls and houses as if on flat ground."
Hu Xiaotian said: "It sounds like a snitch. The Zajia family really doesn't have that ability. Is Commander Chen confused by the snitch sneaking in, and even the Zajia family has become the object of your suspicion?"
Chen Chengqiang said: "I will never do anything to catch people's hair. Can Eunuch Hu tell me who left hair on your bed?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Even the Zajia themselves don't know. Commander Chen, why don't you help me check it out. The Zajia are also very curious to see who left the hair on my bed."
Chen Chengqiang said: "In the palace, entanglements between eunuchs and maids often happened in the past. Once someone discovered it, they would be severely punished. If I reported this matter to my superiors, did Hu Eunuch think I could explain it clearly?
?”
Hu Xiaotian said: "Commander Chen seems to be threatening me!"
Chen Chengqiang smiled and said: "I don't dare. Eunuch Hu is a famous person in the palace. I am just a kind reminder, not a threat." He stared at Hu Xiaotian's eyes and said: "Do you think there will be someone bold?
The palace maid sneaked into your room in the dead of night, and this scene happened to be seen by some unlucky eunuch, so someone decided to kill him in order to keep this secret?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "There are certain things you must not say randomly, as they will kill people."
Chen Chengqiang said: "Chen may or may not say some things. In the end, it depends on what Eunuch Hu does."
Hu Xiaotian heard the threatening meaning in this guy's words, and couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart. Chen Chengqiang really thought that this thing could threaten him? But he didn't know what the purpose of this guy was? He simply tested him, so Hu Xiaotian said: "Commander Chen
What do you want me to do?"
Chen Chengqiang said with a smile: "Eunuch Hu is probably a sensible person. I just want to be friends with Eunuch Hu. I have no other intentions."
Weird! Hu Xiaotian secretly sneered in his heart. A clown like Chen Chengqiang dared to threaten him. It seemed that he was tired of living. But what was the purpose of threatening him? Which party did he represent?
