"What? How did Eunuch Huang Yun die? When did it happen?" Li Chengfeng grabbed the eunuch in front of him with shock and anger, and yelled.
An old eunuch on the side immediately shouted sharply: "You are so presumptuous, who are you!"
Han Tianxing on the side also immediately shouted sharply: "This is the imperial envoy angel, Lord Li Chengfeng! Haven't you heard of it?"
Li Chengfeng showed the mechanical jade pendant in his hand. These eunuchs were all old servants in the palace, so they naturally recognized this jade pendant. They were immediately frightened and all of them bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, saying loudly: " Long live Long live Long live!"
Li Chengfeng was not interested in showing off his authority in front of a group of eunuchs who had lost power. He waved his hand, signaling for them to get up quickly and said, "Who can tell me what happened to Eunuch Huang? How did he die?"
The eunuchs looked at each other, murmuring for a while. Li Chengfeng said with a serious face, "What's going on? You have done your duty for His Majesty and have been worrying about it all your life. In the end, are you going to lose your life?"
The old eunuch's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Master Li, you are serious. Eunuch Huang passed away the night before yesterday. According to Wu Zuo, he died of a heart attack at night."
Li Chengfeng immediately asked: "Having a heart attack?"
The old eunuch said: "Yes, Eunuch Huang has a history of heart disease, and he lives alone on weekdays. Therefore, when he fell ill last night, none of us knew about it. When he got up again, he was already dead in bed."
Li Chengfeng looked livid and said: "Stop the burial immediately. The case involved in Eunuch Huang's death is extremely important. As witnesses, please do not leave Shenjing these days. Violators will be punished for treason!!"
These words were so serious that the eunuchs were all trembling and did not dare to raise their heads.
Li Chengfeng said to Zhao Xiaobao: "You immediately take the jade pendant and mobilize a team of soldiers to surround Huang Yun's residence. No one is allowed to enter or exit. Anyone who violates this rule will be shot!"
Zhao Xiaobao took the jade pendant and disappeared in a flash. Li Chengfeng then said to Han Tianxing: "Go to the Tibetan archives immediately and tell Zheng Shenquan what happened here, and ask him to come here quickly. Exploration and investigation!”
Han Tianxing nodded and quickly turned away. Li Chengfeng asked the tall and thin old eunuch, "What do you call this father-in-law?"
The old eunuch hurriedly said in fear: "Slave Huang Baoer, you just attacked Lord Li. I hope..."
Li Chengfeng waved his hands impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense and take me to Eunuch Huang's residence quickly."
Huang Baoer looked at the funeral procession and coffin behind him, and he said with a smile: "Then here..."
Li Chengfeng waved his hand and said: "Go back, go back! Who among you has a good relationship with Eunuch Huang on weekdays! Come forward, I have something to ask!"
Huang Baoer quickly turned around and directed everyone to return the same way, while he respectfully guided Li Chengfeng to Huang Yun's usual residence.
Li Chengfeng asked along the way: "What kind of friends does this Huang Yun have on weekdays? Who have you met recently? Are there any strange faces? Or are there any strange things or noises that have happened to you?"
Huang Baoer said quickly: "My slave lives opposite Huang Baoer on weekdays. Nothing strange happens these days."
A young eunuch on the side couldn't help but come up to him and said, "Eunuch Huang, actually there is..."
Li Chengfeng saw that this young eunuch was only about twenty years old, but was missing an arm. He wondered: "Why are you so young?"
Huang Baoer sneered and said with disdain: "This kid's hands and feet are not clean. He stole things in the palace and resold them. After he was discovered, one of his hands was cut off as a warning. Xiaodongzi, I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. Sometimes you get into trouble, but don’t blame my father-in-law for not warning you!"
The little eunuch named Xiaodongzi immediately became silent, his head shrank back, and he did not dare to speak anymore.
Li Chengfeng took out a banknote from his arms, waved it in front of the little boy's eyes, and said: "Don't worry, you can answer my questions. As long as I confirm that you are not lying, this is your of!"
When Xiao Dongzi saw that it was a one-hundred-tael silver note, his eyes immediately straightened and he swallowed. He glanced at Huang Baoer and then said, "Master Li, if you ask, Xiao Dongzi will definitely answer truthfully. "
Li Chengfeng asked: "What did you mean by what you just said?"
Xiao Dongzi hesitated for a moment and whispered: "A few days ago, in the middle of the night, I..."
Li Chengfeng immediately interrupted: "A few days ago? Which day was it? When exactly was it?"
Xiao Dongzi thought for a moment and said, "It was around midnight the night before yesterday... about a quarter of an hour."
Li Chengfeng said: "How do you remember it so clearly?"
Xiao Dongzi laughed sarcastically, and Huang Baoer on the side sneered: "Huh, haven't you made the habit of sneaking around again?"
Xiao Dongzi smiled apologetically and said: "Huang Yun, Mr. Huang usually raises a big black dog and two reed chickens at home. I was so greedy that day that I wanted to steal a chicken to make a tooth sacrifice. But I didn't expect it. , the big black dog kept barking that night, and it barked very fiercely... "
Li Chengfeng said: "Oh? Why is this?"
Xiao Dongzi said: "I was muttering at that time, so I waited in the backyard for a while. About a quarter of an hour later, a man came out of Huang Yun's house..."
Li Chengfeng immediately asked: "Who is it? What kind of person? Male or female?"
Xiao Dongzi smiled bitterly and said: "It was already dark at that time, how could I see clearly? I only knew that it was a tall man wearing a black robe. After he came out, he quickly left with a spell."
Li Chengfeng's heart skipped a beat: "You used a spell to leave? What spell did you use?"
Xiao Dongzi said in confusion: "How do I know? I saw a circle light up on the ground, and then he disappeared..."
Li Chengfeng was silent, and he began to think secretly: "The day before yesterday... that was when the conspiracy case was just committed! At that time, the other party was already ready to eradicate the roots and cut off the way out of the investigation! Although The other party's hands and feet are extremely fast, but this also confirms that Concubine Ming is indeed a serious suspect! The next thing to think about is how to quickly find a breakthrough from Concubine Ming... "
After Li Chengfeng asked some more questions along the way, he arrived at Huang Yun's residence.
This is a very simple mid-range house with three rooms and a front and back yard. There is a plane tree planted in the front yard. In the back yard, as Xiao Dongzi said, there is a big black dog and three reed chickens.
The front yard is not big and can be walked in a few steps. When you enter the home, you can see that the furniture in the home is simple and old. Everything seems to have been aged. The drinking cups and teapots were rustled to the point of losing their paint color and have not been changed. It can be seen that the owner is a very nostalgic person.
Li Chengfeng carefully looked outside the house but did not go in. He asked Huang Bao'er, "How much do you interact with Huang Yun on weekdays?"
Huang Baoer hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Xiaodongzi quickly, with a warning in his eyes, as if he was afraid that he would talk nonsense. Li Chengfeng immediately said to Huang Baoer: "Eunuch Huang, this case is of great importance, but you must not do anything wrong. Concealing it and causing misunderstandings, I think... Eunuch Huang doesn’t want to work hard all his life and end up with a miserable life, right?”
Huang Baoer smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, I have been deceived and want to deceive the imperial envoy angel. I deserve to die..."
Li Chengfeng said: "What do you want to hide?"
Huang Baoer smiled bitterly and said, "My slave and Huang Yun... have always been on good terms with each other."
Li Chengfeng was overjoyed and said, "Oh? That's great! Has Huang Yun ever mentioned why he left the palace in the first place? Does he usually live a luxurious life?"
This is something that can be obtained without any effort at all! The other party was close to each other, but he didn't expect Huang Yun to have a close friend!
Huang Baoer answered honestly: "Huang Yun never talks about past events. I only know that he left the palace because he committed a crime."
Li Chengfeng immediately said: "He introduced Concubine Ming to His Majesty, which is a great achievement. Concubine Ming and Your Majesty couldn't thank him enough. Why was he kicked out of the palace?"
Huang Baoer said: "I know something about this. Although Huang Yun climbed up to Concubine Ming, the chief manager was afraid that he would climb too fast, so he set up a trap for him and framed him for trying to murder Concubine Ming. Although the charge of His Majesty's blood relation was not proven at the time, Huang Yun was indeed implicated. In order not to implicate Concubine Ming, he resigned from the Shenwu Palace, and then came to Zhongguan Road, where he became neighbors with his slaves. I have been doing it for more than ten years."
Li Chengfeng said: "Do you know who Huang Yun had a close relationship with before?"
Huang Baoer thought about it seriously and said, "Indeed, I know that Huang Yun once had a very good personal relationship with Mr. Xuan Mingliangxuan, the assistant teacher of the Imperial Academy."
Li Chengfeng asked: "Where is Master Xuan Ming Liangxuan now?"
Huang Baoer smiled bitterly and said, "Master Xuan has been dead for almost twenty years."
Li Chengfeng was stunned and said, "Huh? Why is this?"
Huang Baoer said: "Nineteen years ago, when the traitorous immortal was reincarnated, His Majesty ordered all babies born on that day in China to be killed. Anyone who refuses to conceal it will have their entire family killed!"
This sentence immediately shocked Li Chengfeng to the point where the hair on his body stood on end! !
He understood instantly, and it seemed that... this mystery, all the motives, and all the questions were all explained at this moment!
