"When Concubine Zhang was killed, the minister was not in Bianjing, and the official was angrily killed the palace clerk who was serving Concubine Zhang, and the clue was cut off. Afterwards, the official sent someone to verify the matter and found out that Concubine Zhang was murdered Yes, but the person behind the scenes was not found, and the matter was gone.
Today, the murder of Han Meiren, like Concubine Zhang, is a dead body with two lives.
Both officials and ministers felt that this matter was done by one person. "
Kou Ji bowed and reported it.
Concubine Li frowned. She gritted her teeth and said: "When the Ai's family entered the palace, the concubines in the harem fought endlessly, causing many lives. The Ai's family originally thought that after the official sitting in the court, the fighting in the harem would happen. A lot less, I didn't expect it to be like this."
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and he thought: "The Queen Mother means... The person behind may be one of the official concubines..."
Concubine Li stared and said, "Who else can anyone besides them? They are the only ones who dare to risk the imperial heirs of the official family."
Kou Ji frowned slightly.
Concubine Li stared at Kou Ji and asked, "What can you find out?"
Kou Ji hesitated for a while, and deliberately revealed the truth to Concubine Li, but after careful consideration, he still didn't speak, just shook his head.
Concubine Li glared at Kou Ji, feeling that Kou Ji was a little incompetent.
It has been a few days since the Korean American was killed, and Kou Ji hasn't found any eyebrows yet.
Concubine Li glared at Kou Ji and said, "If you want to know what you want to know, even if you speak, I will tell you everything I know."
Kou Ji nodded and began to ask about some old things about Concubine Li in the palace.
Concubine Li knows, she will tell Kou Ji without hesitation, if she doesn't know, she will say she doesn't know.
After some inquiries, Kou Ji found that Princess Li was a silly white sweet in the palace before.
The news she knows is pitiful.
She knew about some harem fights and some concubines who murdered the emperor heir in order to fight for favor, but she didn't know about Liu E and Taifei Yang who had jointly murdered the emperor heir.
Concubine Li was by Liu E's side, and she was probably an ordinary court lady. Because she was a little pretty and had no scheming, she was looked at by Liu E and Zhao Heng as a tool for surrogacy.
Kou Ji didn't ask any useful information from the concubine Li. After asking Concubine Li's words, he accompany the concubine Li to say something inconsequential, and then bowed and left the palace of the concubine Li.
Kou Ji sighed after leaving the concubine Li's bedroom.
"I thought that if you walked around according to the list given by Chen Lin, you could find out something. In the end, there was no useful news..."
"Now if you want to break the game, you can only go to Taifei Yang's palace for a while..."
If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't be a tiger.
If there is no useful information to ask from others, then Kou Ji can only go to the client for a while.
As long as it is an individual, there will always be traces left when doing things.
He didn't believe that Concubine Yang could do things seamlessly without leaving any traces.
Kou Ji tidied up his clothes, and walked straight to Princess Yang's bedroom.
After arriving at the gate of Princess Yang's bedroom, after asking someone to tell her, she was led into the palace by the female officer next to Princess Yang.
Kou Ji entered Concubine Yang's palace and looked at it a bit, and found that the layout of Concubine Yang's palace was more elaborate than that in Concubine Du's palace, and more gorgeous than that in Concubine Li's palace.
There were as many as a hundred Gong E and eunuchs serving.
The quality of life on weekdays is probably better than that of Zhao Zhen.
You know, there are only 30 eunuchs who serve Zhao Zhen for food and clothing.
Under the guidance of the female officer, Kou Ji entered the palace where Tai Fei Yang was and found Tai Fei Yang was arranging flowers.
Three or five flowers were pruned by Princess Yang and inserted into the vase. This is how a pleasing artwork was born.
The maid, who was touching the flower basket, scissors, etc., bowed her head and stood on the side.
After Tai Fei Yang planted the flowers, she looked carefully, and when she felt that there was no omission, she chuckled softly: "A few days ago, the Aijia saw that the potted plants raised in the official bedroom were withered, and there was no color in the palace. Send the vase flowers to the officials."
"Hey..."
Gong E, who was waiting on her side, agreed in a low voice, touching the vase and leaving the palace.
The other Gong E hurried forward and picked up the remnants left by Concubine Yang after the flower arrangement.
Concubine Yang stepped up to Kou Ji while the Gong'e was cleaning up the stubborn branches, and said with a soft smile: "I have neglected Privy Council Kou, and hope that Privy Councilor Kou will not be offended..."
"How dare..."
Kou Ji bowed and said, "Chen Kou Ji see the Queen Mother..."
Concubine Yang smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just give a seat."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Concubine Yang led Kou Ji to another part of the palace. Concubine Yang took the lead to sit down. Gong E moved a seat to Kou Ji's side, and Kou Ji sat down with him.
"Bong tea..."
"Hey..."
Concubine Yang gave an order to Gong E, and smiled and said to Kou Ji: "Private Kou is now a celebrity around the official family, who controls the Privy Council. There are countless state affairs to deal with every day, and there is not much leisure.
Now that I can appear in the Aijia Palace, I must be looking for Aijia for something. "
Kou Ji arched his hand slightly and said straightforwardly: "The minister came to visit the concubine empress today because of the murder in the palace."
Concubine Yang smiled and did not speak. She waited for Gong E to bring the tea. After a brief taste, she smiled and said to Kou Ji, "But the murder of Han?"
Kou Ji added, "There is also Zhang Guifei..."
When Tai Fei Yang heard this, she said with an unexpected look: "Kou Shimi meant that Zhang and Han were killed. Maybe it was one person?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "Concubine Zhang and Han Meiren were both killed in the palace, and they were both dead and two lives, so the minister has reason to suspect that the two cases were committed by one person.
Concubine Yang pondered: "Then why are Concubine Zhang and Han Meiren killed? Do they have any enemies in the palace?"
Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said, "The minister suspects that the purpose of the culprits is to undermine the emperor's heir."
Tai Fei Yang frowned and said, "If the culprit's purpose is the emperor's heir, then why didn't the culprit do anything when Xiao Zhang was pregnant. Is there any way for the culprit to distinguish whether the child in the concubine's belly is a male or a female?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head and said: "The minister is not sure."
Tai Fei Yang snorted coldly and said, "This thief is still bold and dares to murder the emperor heir. Doesn't he know that murdering the emperor heir is a serious crime of beheading?"
Before Kou Ji responded, Princess Yang looked at Kou Ji and said, "What do you want to ask for?"
Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said: "The minister heard that when the first emperor was in power, there were many fights in the harem, and several princes were lost in the fight in the harem. Therefore, the minister wanted to learn about the events of the year with the concubine empress."
Concubine Yang said in a deep voice: "You suspected that you were the one who murdered the emperor's heirs in the past, but now you are murdering the official emperor's heirs?"
Kou Ji slowly shook his head and said, "The stone from other mountains can be used to attack jade. The minister wanted to find common ground from the several cases of murder of the emperor's heir cracked that year, and see if there is any way to break the situation."
When Taifei Yang heard this, she sighed: "The Aijia doesn't know much about the several cases back then, and she may not be able to help you."
Kou Ji stared at Concubine Yang and said, "Kechen heard that several cases of the year were implicated in the concubine empress."
When Mrs. Yang heard the words, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked in a cold voice: "Who told you?"
Kou Ji said haha, "The minister is also hearsay, you don't have to take it seriously."
Concubine Yang snorted coldly: "You dare to take the hearsay in front of the Ai's family and say it. Don't you know that slandering a concubine is also a serious crime for beheading?"
Kou Ji smiled indifferently: "It's about the inheritance of the emperor's heirs. If the minister has offended anything, I think the concubine and empress will not blame it."
Taifei Yang said indifferently: "The Ai's family is just a useless old woman, so how dare you to blame the prince Kou who holds the military power."
Kou Ji said ashamed: "The imperial concubine can't afford to be a minister."
Concubine Yang snorted coldly and said, "The harem struggled frequently, and no one in this harem could be alone. The Ai family did use some means to protect themselves.
But Ai Jia will never touch the sin of beheading.
What others said to you, I don't care about it.
But if you use this to destroy the reputation of the Ai family, the Ai family will definitely not spare you. "
Kou Ji handed his hand: "Of course the minister dare not destroy the reputation of the concubine empress..."
Concubine Yang snorted: "Since the old things back then are useful for solving your case, the Aijia will tell you the truth. After you have listened to it, immediately leave the Aijia's bedroom, the Aijia doesn't want to see you."
"Hey..."
Kou Ji agreed with his hands, and then began to ask questions.
After some talks, Kou Ji discovered that Tai Fei Yang was really courageous.
She has no taboos, dare to say anything.
From the time she entered the palace to the present, she told Kou Ji almost all of the dirty things that happened in the palace.
This included some nasty things Liu E did in order to fight for power.
She is silent only when she mentions herself.
After Kou Ji listened to the words of Concubine Yang, he realized how chaos was in the harem when Zhao Heng was in power.
Far more chaotic than he thought, and more chaotic than he heard from other populations.
After Kou Ji listened to Concubine Yang's words, he bowed and left Concubine Yang's bedroom.
When Kou Ji left Concubine Yang’s bedroom, Concubine Yang reminded Kou Ji faintly, “Sister Liu’s relationship with the official family is not shallow, so don’t tell you what the family has told you.
If the official is to blame for this, the Aijia doesn't want to be punished with you. "
Kou Ji was taken aback for a moment, and then bowed and exited Taifei Yang's palace.
After Kou Ji left.
Concubine Yang squinted her eyes and sat down on the seat. Just after she sat down, a voice rang behind her.
"why?"
Concubine Yang did not turn her head back, and said faintly: "What and why?"
The voice sounded again.
"Why do you tell Kou Ji what the Queen Mother has done?"
Taifei Yang said indifferently: "Do you think that Kou Ji doesn't know if you don’t say anything about it? After Kou Ji entered the palace, didn’t you send people to stare at it? When Kou Ji went to those places, you wouldn’t fail. clear.
Some things that Ai Jia and Sister Liu did back then, although they didn't leave any tricks.
But some people still know that it was made by Ai's family and Sister Liu.
Don't tell me, others will tell Kou Ji, and I might as well tell Kou Ji generously. "
"You mean, that bitch Du, told Kou Ji all the things that year?"
"Sister Du is not that stupid. If she were a woman with a long tongue, she would not live today."
"Who would it be?"
"Aren't you fighting him?"
"Chen Lin that old dog?!"
"Chen Lin entered the palace earlier than the Ai's family and Sister Liu. He knows more secrets than anyone inside or outside the palace."
"It's just an old dog. I will kill him sooner or later to see how he bites."
When Tai Fei Yang heard this, she finally turned around and stared at the figure behind her: "Don't mess around. Back then, the Aijia and Sister Liu couldn't kill him."
The person behind Yang Taifei snorted coldly: "Even if he is difficult to deal with and blocks my way, he will still have to die."
Concubine Yang gritted her teeth and said: "You heard what Kou Ji said just now. He obviously suspects that he has reached the head of Ai's family. If you act rashly, he will definitely find you and me."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "I won't move, can I let Chen Lin's mad dog bite?"
Speaking of this, the man stared at Concubine Yang and said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of measure, and I will never leave a handle to be caught by Chen Lin. I don't want you to die yet. If you die, no one will help me. Up."
Concubine Yang glared fiercely, "What do you plan to do with the people in the Chen Palace? Some of them have seen you. Now they are all locked in the Han Palace.
Although Kou Ji did not interrogate them, he had already begun to use means to pressure them.
Once Kou Ji starts interrogating them, you will definitely be asked from them. "
The man said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about the idiots in Chen's palace. I have already left someone in Han's palace. As long as those idiots dare to speak, they will definitely be silenced."
Concubine Yang angrily said, "You let the people of Ai's family go and die."
The man said neither salty nor indifferent: "You have so many people, and it doesn't matter if you die."
Concubine Yang snarled: "For a Chen family, the Ai family has given up six people. The six people are all confidants cultivated by the Ai family. Why do you have to look for the Chen family, other people can't?"
The man snorted coldly, "I want to find the girl from the Xiang clan. But the girl from the Xiang clan, Chen Lin and the bitch from the Cao clan sent someone to look after him, so I can't do anything.
Now that girl is out of the palace, I just want to find her and I have no chance. "
Taifei Yang said angrily: "You are taking death!"
The man sneered and said, "I'm dead, and you won't be better."
The man stared at Princess Yang and asked, "What did the last sentence you told Kou Ji mean?"
Concubine Yang turned her head away and said cruelly: "Literally!"
The man snorted coldly: "You'd better not play tricks with me. You and I are now grasshoppers on a rope. If I am discovered, I will definitely shake everything out of you."
Concubine Yang said unwillingly: "The official family was raised by the Ai family alone. Even if you shake out all the things that the Ai family has done, the official family will not hurt the Ai family."
The man smiled sarcastically: "Are you sure?"
After hearing the words, Princess Yang gritted her teeth and stopped speaking.
If it's just some old things in the past, if you shake it out, you shake it out.
Zhao Zhen will not kill her because of some old things.
But what this person was doing in the palace was enough to irritate Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen killed both of them.
"If Ai Jia knew that you were so bold and reckless, then he would not have agreed to help you stay in the palace."
Taifei Yang said resentfully.
The man laughed and said: "Yang, don't you think it's too late to say this? I found you at first. If I told you what I was going to do, you would naturally not help me stay in the palace.
Because I know very well that the little thing in my hand is not enough for you to do some decapitating things for me.
So I only asked you to let me stay in the palace, and there were not many other words.
Now that you and I are tied to a rope, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. "
Taifei Yang's hateful silver teeth gritted and rattled.
The man laughed louder.
When the man laughed, the figure had disappeared.
Tai Fei Yang sat on the spot, trembling all over, without saying a word.
Kou Ji outside the palace did not know everything that happened in the palace of Princess Yang.
Kou Ji has been trying to figure out the meaning of Tai Fei Yang's last sentence after leaving Tai Fei Yang's bedroom.
Liu E has passed away, and some of Liu E's old things have naturally become taboos.
Even if Mrs. Yang didn't say anything, Kou Ji would definitely be tight-lipped.
A person as smart as Mrs. Yang would not suddenly say a word of nonsense.
Then her words must have profound meaning.
It's just that there is any deep meaning, he speculated for a long time, but did not speculate.
Kou Ji couldn't figure out why Yang Taifei would tell him something meaningful and what its purpose was.
Kou Ji speculated about Tai Fei Yang's words and her intentions, and swayed all the way to the door of Han Meiren's bedroom.
Once at the entrance of Han Meiren's palace.
Kou Ji heard waves of begging for mercy from the Korean beauty's bedroom.
"Are you begging for mercy so soon? I thought they could last two more days..."
Kou Ji sighed slightly, and ordered the guard at the door: "Open the door and let me in."
The guard was ordered to open the door, and Kou Jimai walked into the Korean beauty's bedroom.
As soon as she entered Han Meiren's bedroom, a group of eunuchs and Gong E surrounded her.
"Private Kou, you can bypass the servants..."
"..."
A group of eunuchs and Gong E surrounded Kou Ji for mercy.
Kou Ji glanced at them faintly, ordered the guards to pull them away, and then stared at them: "The empress dowager has ordered that I will not be tortured. I think the empress dowager is reasonable.
This is the court ban. If I screamed and screamed, it would not be beautiful.
So I think about you being hungry for a few days, until you are willing to speak.
If you keep silent, you will most likely be starved to death.
I am very gratified that you are all smart people, you have not chosen to starve yourself to death, and are willing to stand up and tell me the truth. "
"The slave and maid would like to speak!"
"The slave must know that everything is endless!"
"..."
The eunuch and Gong E shouted excitedly one by one.
Kou Ji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good... To ensure your safety, I will summon you one by one later. You can just tell me what you know and tell me the truth.
I will not spread what you have said, let alone reveal to others what you told me. "
Kou Ji turned around and ordered a word in the ear of the guard lying behind him.
The guard nodded and retreated behind Kou Ji.
Kou Ji stepped into the Korean beauty's bedroom, and began to speak, summoning the eunuch and Gong E in the Korean beauty's palace.
There are a lot of eunuchs and Gong'e confined in the Korean Beauty Palace.
In order to ensure that what they said would not be missed, Kurt found a document to record the process of his interrogation so that he could check it carefully after the interrogation.
Kou Ji entered the Korean beauty's dormitory. After everything was prepared, he began to summon the eunuchs and Gong'e who were confined in the Korean beauty's dormitory.
The eunuchs and Gong'e entered the Korean beauty's bedroom. They didn't need to ask Kou Ji too much, they told Kou Ji all they knew.
Although Kou Ji did not torture them, the pressure Kou Ji put on them was far greater than torture.
According to Zhao Zhen's temperament, Han Meiren will kill them all with a rod in ninety-nine percent.
However, Zhao Zhen didn't shoot them with a rod, but instead trapped them.
Did not say to kill, and did not say to release.
Naturally, they are in panic and fear all day long.
Kou Ji has been ignoring them, and suddenly moved his hands and feet on their food, and they are naturally more panic.
Now that Kou Ji appeared again, they naturally felt that Kou Ji's appearance was an ultimatum.
If they say everything, they should be able to get their lives back.
If you don't say anything, you are likely to die.
Most of them didn't know the truth about the fact that Han Mei had a dead body and two lives, so naturally they didn't want to die unjustly for this.
When there is a chance to survive, they are naturally willing to say anything.
Under the influence of this group of people, the other small group of people who know the truth may feel even more panic in their hearts.
The oppression of death is approaching step by step, enough to break the line of defense in their hearts.
Kou Ji's summoning was halfway through. Kou Ji hadn't asked any useful news yet, and there was an exclamation from outside the palace.
Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief and slowly leaned on the seat.
Before long, seven or eight guards escorted two people into the palace.
The headed guards handed over to Kou Ji: "Kou Shumi really expected things like a god, and the real thief took the opportunity to assassinate him, and the low-ranking people have already captured him."
Kou Ji nodded slowly, his eyes fell on the two eunuchs captured by the guards, and said quietly: "Since the thief dared to move Han Meiren, he must have placed someone in the Han Meiren palace.
I have confined you in one place, just to give you the opportunity to let you do it.
But you haven't done anything for a long time.
It should be because of fear of death, so I was lucky.
I always feel that you can't make the last step until the last moment.
Now that I have pushed you to the last step, you finally started. "
After a pause, Kou Ji stared at the two eunuchs and continued: "Are you going to confess?"
The two eunuchs hung their heads, gritted their teeth, and said nothing.
Kou Ji glanced at them, without further questioning, he ordered the guards: "Send them to Chen Lin and Grandpa Chen."
The guards nodded solemnly and escorted the two eunuchs out of the palace.
After the guards escorted the eunuch to leave, Kou Ji immediately told the eunuch next to him: "Go, bring up the two of them who were assassinated."
