He actually didn't quite understand why Shen Qianshan could come back safe and sound even after searching for so many days with no news. However, he couldn't ask questions openly and just silently sent someone to watch their recent movements. .
Since they returned from the sea, they seemed to have become unusually quiet. Except for doing business on weekdays, they almost never left the house. Except for Shen Qianshan who went on a long trip after returning, everyone else seemed to be in the capital. During the day, he would either visit his friends or go out to discuss business. He was so quiet that even Shen Zhongbai didn't believe it.
If not, there have been some situations in the palace recently, and he wants to investigate with peace of mind. He will not wait for others to take action.
"How many investigations have been carried out by the people in the palace?"
The dead man's body has been packed up in a specific place by his own people. Without his permission, no one else will know that this person was invited. However, after all, it is not a long-term solution to continue like this. What if it is true? When the body cannot be preserved and there is still no way to figure out the situation, it will be really bad.
"Almost half of it, because it's a little difficult for everyone to recall what they did that day."
Shen Zhongbai didn't think that this matter would cause such a big fuss, but after all, it was a heart-wrenching case, and it was nothing to him, but to other people in the palace, it really made people feel Terrified.
In order to avoid anything happening that would affect him, he decided to investigate the matter. Normally, he would definitely not care about it, but this time he couldn't.
"I don't want to ask you about the progress of the investigation of this matter, but I want to know how long it will take for this matter to calm down?"
Shen Zhongbai has never cared about the process. All he wants is a result. An ordinary murder case is nothing more than a cruel method. These wastes under his hands have not yet had a result. Of course, Shen Zhongbai will be angry.
"Your Majesty, although we had the situation under control at that time, there are too many people in the palace and we cannot control the news."
What Shen Zhongbai said would inevitably make the people in front of him a little embarrassed. If this matter was really as simple as what he said, he wouldn't have been out of control for so long.
There were a lot of messages in the palace. In addition, it had been several days since the incident. He had no way to let everyone under interrogation clearly remember what he did on that day and when. This greatly increased the problem. It is difficult for everyone to investigate the case. Everyone knows that this happened in the palace, and it must have been done by someone inside the palace, but it is really difficult to investigate one by one like this.
The person in front of him was just a guard from the Imperial Palace. In the imperial court, his official position was so small that he could not speak, but if something happened in the palace, he would be the first to bear the brunt.
"I'll give you three more days. If you can't come up with any results from your investigation, there's no need to keep this head on your neck."
Shen Zhongbai's attitude is very resolute. He doesn't want to waste too much time on such useless things. No matter where it is, the death of one or two people is not a big deal to him, but if someone appears in the palace As an emperor, he cannot sit idly by and ignore any unstable situation.
"Zhou Ziyuan, my patience has its limits. If something like this happens within the scope of your responsibilities, you must give me an explanation."
Shen Zhongbai was too lazy to say so much. Anyway, this person could only kill two palace maids and eunuchs at most, and he had no more courage to do anything else. Shen Zhongbai had never been afraid that this person was coming for him.
"I've set the rules for you. If you can't do it, just raise your head and see me."
Shen Zhongbai has indeed made some big things in the past few days. He was already upset. Of course, he doesn't want to see him continue to trouble him about this matter now. It is best to solve these problems as soon as possible.
Zhou Ziyuan left like this. His official position in the palace did not allow him to say anything, so he could only suffer silently. However, he still had relatives at home who needed to be taken care of, and he did not want to get involved in this matter. life.
He can only ask his brothers to investigate the people in the palace as soon as possible. If there is really no whereabouts, he may really die.
After Zhou Ziyuan left, Shen Zhongbai himself began to think about this matter. Although he had said harsh words just now, he felt that there was still room for use in this matter. Although he thought it was a very troublesome matter at first, but But when he said this to Zhou Ziyuan just now, he seemed to have found a better way.
Shen Zhongbai called the people he had arranged outside the palace to ask if anything else had happened outside recently.
"Are you sure there's nothing else going on?"
He asked the guards who came back to report very seriously, but there was nothing else to report outside. The key problem was that they really had no movement in the past few days.
"Yes, there are some. The second young master of the Gusu family seems to always go to an inn under his own name recently, and he goes there quite frequently. But after all, it is their own inn, so he should go to check the accounts or something like that. "
"Have you ever gone to see who lives in that inn?"
Shen Zhongbai has always been suspicious and will not let go of this kind of thing.
"This... subordinates don't have it, because after all, it is the property of the Gusu family. If you go to inquire rashly, I'm afraid you will alert the snake."
"Well, to feel at ease, you'd better go and investigate who has been staying in the inn recently, and whether anyone has a close relationship with Gu Suran."
It's not like Shen Zhongbai doesn't know Gu Qiang's true identity. He doesn't think that at this time, Gu Qiang will do some meaningless things for no reason. She usually doesn't care about business. When will she get involved in the Gusu family's business
From the first time he knew that Gu Suran was actually Gu Qiang, he already knew that the Gu Suran who pretended to be very knowledgeable before was all fake. Gu Qiang's business knowledge was almost Unlike herself, she would never get involved in business matters unless there were any special circumstances.
It seems that there must be something wrong in that inn.
In order to avoid the spies they sent out, Gu Qiang and the others arranged their people outside Lingyin Pavilion.
However, I am not very concerned about things there now. There are more important situations in the palace that are waiting for me to deal with. The last time they were in trouble at sea, a few of them escaped inexplicably. Shen Zhongbai didn't believe it. How could he have such great ability to escape this time.
In the inn, Gu Qiang has arranged everything. Now he is waiting to see if Yun Ni and Chang Lan will give them this face. He follows Yun Ni and Yun Jue back home honestly. Shen Qianshan has just returned. , after learning what she did, he didn't say anything. He just regarded it as a way to solve the problem. If it didn't work, he could only take coercive measures and send him back.
Gu Qiang prepared a lot of preparations nervously, but Yun Ni seemed to be familiar with this matter. As soon as Gu Qiang turned around, even she believed it when she turned around again.
"You're not really feeling well, are you?"
Although Gu Qiang thinks that his disguise skills are very good, after all, this kind of sick look is not something that ordinary people can fake. Not to mention Gu Qiang, even Gu Huaian was shocked. He took his pulse before He breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't you getting into the act too quickly?"
Yun Ni smiled sheepishly, but at this moment, Yun Ni Changlan suddenly came downstairs, and everyone's words stopped abruptly. Gu Qiang even stared at Yun Ni Changlan with a guilty conscience.
Yun Jue behaved as usual, sitting aside coldly and looking at Yun Ni Changlan with a not very good expression.
Yun Ni Changlan was stared at by a few people below, and felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly went downstairs to see what happened, "What's wrong with you? Why are you all staring at me?"
He felt that he hadn't done anything wrong recently, and the fight with Yun Jue had been a long time ago. However, Gu Qiang's expression when he looked at him was particularly strange, and he had to start to wonder if he had done something wrong again. I did something wrong to make him unhappy.
"nothing… "
Yun Ni's voice began to become weak when she spoke. As soon as Yun Ni Changlan heard Yun Ni's voice, she also felt that something was wrong. She quickly walked to Yun Ni and asked, "Why do you look so ugly? Is there something wrong with you?" Comfortable?"
Yun Ni and Chang Lan were indeed concerned about Yun Ni all the time. His love had been hidden for so many years, all because of the scar on his neck, so he was reluctant to say it out. Later, the two of them fell in love with each other. After revealing his feelings, Yun Ni Changlan became nicer to Yun Ni. If it weren't for the purpose of finding his life experience, he would not be willing to leave.
"It's nothing serious, just a little uncomfortable."
Gu Huai'an hurriedly spoke next to her, "Is she still feeling a little uncomfortable? You don't even know how bad her physical condition is now."
Yun Ni Changlan panicked when she heard this, "What do you mean by this? Is there any other problem with Yun Ni's body?"
He thought that there would be no other problems after taking out the Gu last time, but he didn't expect that it would be like this. Could it be caused by the previous Tongxin Gu
"She has been in poor health since she was a child. Every time her family makes medicine for her, you see it. The medicine is only found in Yunzhong Valley." Yun Jue's help at this time was of great help to the whole situation. Gu Qiang almost believed it.
