The prince kept a eunuch here, and the eunuch was dressed as a woman, which sounded hard for her to accept, not to mention that the eunuch was related to the death of the second brother of the Prince of Shunyang.
Princess Jian felt that all the strength in her body was suddenly taken away. She looked at Prince Jian with a pale face, wondering what the prince had done.
Under the gaze of Princess Jian, Prince Jian only frowned and did not immediately deny what Prince Shunyang said.
"Your Majesty," Princess Jian became anxious now, "Why are you doing this? What's going on with the second brother of Prince Shunyang County."
"It seems that Prince Jian still doesn't want to tell the truth," Prince Shunyang said, "Does Prince Jian have to make such an ugly scene?"
As he said this, King Shunyang looked around and saw that Zhuangzi was in chaos. Princess Jian was shocked and frightened. This was all caused by King Jian.
Prince Shunyang was about to continue talking.
"Miss," Uncle Lei walked out of the house, "we found something from Wei'e's house."
Uncle Lei doesn't care about ordinary objects.
Xu Qinghuan nodded and followed Uncle Lei to Wei E's house to check.
Wei E lives in the courtyard east of Zhuangzi.
Uncle Lei said, "Wei E lives alone in this courtyard. There are no servants to serve her. Wei E takes care of everything by herself."
Xu Qinghuan nodded, which shows Wei E's status in Zhuangzi. However, there are many people in Zhuangzi, so why is Wei E not served?
Is it because I don’t want to have people around me, or I feel that it’s not safe enough because of the crowd.
Although she has opened the door to Zhuangzi and her brother has captured Wei E, evidence must be obtained in order for King Jian to speak.
And along the way, what Xu Qinghuan believed the most was the truth he saw, not what others said. If King Jian was the person behind the scenes, his words would not be believed casually.
It will never be that simple for someone who can guide Wang Yun, Su Wan, and Huijing to control everything behind the scenes so that she has not seen their true appearance for two lifetimes.
Therefore, she would not put her hope in Prince Shunyang, hoping that Prince Shunyang could defeat Prince Jian with just one mouthful.
Uncle Lei opened the curtain, Xu Qinghuan lifted up her skirt and walked in.
The sun shone in through the window, and the whole room was very bright. It seemed that there was nothing unusual. Xu Qinghuan touched the table next to him with his hand.
Spotless.
Obviously Wei E loves to be clean.
There is a crow-green curtain, a small screen made of embroidery is placed on the table, and there is a small study room in the side room. There are all kinds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table, and half a used ink stick is placed there. It can be seen that these things are not decorations.
There were no wrinkles in the sheets on the bed. There were many sachets of various sizes inside the bed, more than those in her boudoir. There was a pair of soft-soled embroidered shoes on the footrest under the bed. Although there were no treasures on them, the embroidery was still there.
Very exquisite.
Perhaps it was because she used too many needles and threads these days. When Xu Qinghuan saw the complicated patterns, she felt a dull pain in the pads of her index fingers. If she were to embroider these shoes, she might not be able to wear them for the rest of her life.
Just looking at these things, she would not have thought that this was a eunuch's residence. The furnishings and atmosphere made it seem like a female family member lived there.
"Miss, those things were found in the small room behind the bed."
Xu Qinghuan looked behind the bed.
Uncle Lei reached out and pushed, and a door immediately opened. The door looked exactly like the wall. If it weren't for Uncle Lei, it would be difficult for them to find any clues even if they came in to search.
Xu Qinghuan followed Uncle Lei and went forward to check.
Probably because there is no sunlight, there is a strong coolness in this small room.
There were not many objects inside the blue brick walls and floor. A few hoes were leaning against the wall, and next to them were two cages, with a large charcoal basin inside.
Xu Qinghuan raised his head to search and found an inconspicuous window in the corner of the roof. It was not so much a window as a square hole for ventilation. The square hole was not too big, so there was an old smell in the room.
Smoky smell.
It seems that it is no accident that this charcoal pot is here. Someone often burns things here. Otherwise, there is no need to make a window here. Since it is a secret room, it will be more hidden without a window.
Xu Qinghuan took the lamp handed over by Uncle Lei, lowered her head and looked into the charcoal basin. As she expected, there was a thick layer of ashes in the charcoal basin.
Xu Qinghuan slowly searched among the ashes and found an unburned piece of paper. She carefully picked out the piece of paper and examined it carefully. The piece of paper resembled gold foil and shone under the lamp. Xu Qinghuan put the piece of paper away so that
He will be sent to the Yamen in the future.
"Open that cage and take a look."
The servants came forward and lifted the cage down.
Uncle Lei carefully inspected the cage, then took out a bamboo stick and opened the copper fish lock on the cage.
There was a pile of clothes neatly placed in the heavy beech box, and there were some scattered items beside the clothes.
Xu Qinghuan was familiar with these clothes. They were worn by the chamberlains in the palace. Wei E used to be a chamberlain. It was very common for him to have such clothes.
Xu Qinghuan did not look at the clothes carefully. Her eyes were attracted by another thing. She couldn't help but bend down to look carefully. Under a purse, there was a piece of cloth. The edge of the cloth was not neat, and it was obviously torn off with force.
of.
Uncle Lei also saw the clues, but he didn't say anything. At this time, he couldn't interrupt the eldest lady's thinking.
Xu Qinghuan took out a handkerchief, wrapped the piece of cloth, picked it up and looked at the light.
There was a stain on the cloth strip, as if it had been soaked with something. Because it had been so long ago, these stains had long since dried up. However, the cloth strip was white, so the stain was particularly obvious, much like...blood stains.
Xu Qinghuan quickly put the strip of cloth into the handkerchief and looked at Uncle Lei, "Open all these clothes and compare the sizes."
Uncle Lei immediately understood that if they were the clothes of the same person, then the sizes of the clothes should be the same. The eldest lady suspected that the items in the box were not belonging to the same person.
Several pieces of clothing were taken out of the box, and Uncle Lei and his servants compared them carefully.
Uncle Lei frowned, "Miss, the clothes are different sizes."
"It's definitely different," Xu Qinghuan's eyes fell on the cage, "These are not Wei E's clothes, they were taken from others."
The servant next to him couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.
"Miss, this purse does not belong to the same person," Feng Chu noticed something strange, "the lotus and peonies must be worn by women, and the green bamboo belongs to men, and the embroidery method is different."
Uncle Lei pondered, "Why would Wei E bring these things and put them in the house?"
Xu Qinghuan raised his head and looked around the whole room again, and then looked at the charcoal basin again. "I don't know whose things these belong to yet, but... they are all dead."
When the servants of the Xu family heard this, their hands trembled and they almost threw the clothes in their hands on the ground.
Xu Qinghuan said, "What is burned in the charcoal basin is paper money used to commemorate the deceased."
Uncle Lei almost immediately looked at the hoe standing by the wall, "I'll search around. If he kills people and buries them, he won't be too far away from this village."
The room seemed a bit colder than before.
…
Li family.
Li Xu got dressed and was about to leave the house when he saw the boy running into the yard in a hurry.
Before Li Xu asked, he saw a familiar figure walking over.
Miss Li entered the door and immediately saw Li Xu in official uniform: "Are you going to the Yamen?"
"Why did eldest sister come to the capital?" Li Xu immediately stepped forward and saluted.
He looked at Li Xu for a moment and said, "Ninth Brother, why do I feel that you look so bad? Could it be that Changzhou and his party are at the root of the disease?"
