The bag was opened, and there was nothing inside except for a few changes of clothes. Yun Ke asked, "That's all?" "Yes." The guard replied.
"Don't you even have any money?" Yun Ke asked coldly.
Even if they are fined to do hard work, the inner government will still have a monthly payment, so there will be no copper coins left.
Yun Ke glanced at the eunuchs kneeling in front of him.
"Slaves have something to say." A eunuch in hard work clothes said timidly.
"Just say it." Yun Ke nodded.
"The servant and the two of them are from the same hometown." The eunuch said in a trembling voice, "Before the Chinese New Year, the palace allowed visits. The servant saw that the two of them gave all their money to one person and took it to the countryside. It seems that there are quite a few. I don’t know the specific slaves.”
"Okay, you all go back for now." Yun Ke waved his hand, "But a few supervisors stay."
The other eunuchs came out in a file after thanking them, but the few supervisors who were left behind turned pale with fright.
"My lord, please forgive me. The servants really don't know anything." Someone kowtowed to Yun Ke uncontrollably.
"You are tasked with supervising the work, but you haven't checked out any abnormalities in the finished stone slabs?" Yun Ke said coldly, "Now you still have the face to ask the king to forgive you? You really can say it."
Several people knelt in front of Yun Ke and shook like chaff.
"Take off their coats and tie them outside." Yun Ke said to the guards beside him.
"Yes." The guards cupped their fists and dragged these people out like dead dogs.
"My lord, spare me!" Someone shouted uncontrollably.
It's freezing outside, and it's cold to stand outside with clothes on. If you are stripped of your coat, you're afraid that it won't take long before you will be frozen into ice.
Yun Ke smiled coldly, completely ignoring those wailing voices.
Wait for those people to be tied up outside for a while. Only then did Yun Ke slowly walk out of the palace and came to the courtyard. Several naked eunuchs were tied to the pillars in the yard, all of them trembling from the cold, unable to even speak.
"I heard that after being frozen, the hands and feet will freeze, and gradually lose consciousness, and then they will shatter when hit with a stick, without losing a drop of blood." Yun Ke was wearing a cloak, Standing in the yard with folded hands, he smiled slightly.
The light from the torches in the yard illuminated his jade-like face, making the eunuchs who were already freezing cold shudder to see it.
"It's just a rumor." Yun Ke continued, "I haven't seen it with my own eyes. It's a coincidence that you all fell into the hands of this king. If there is anything you want to say to this king, I will The king may still listen to it. To save you this little pain, if no one has something to say to this king, then this king will have an eye-opener today." After he finished speaking, he said to the guards, "I will go later Find an iron rod, and when their hands and feet are frozen, give me one by one to knock on it. See if it will break or bleed."
"My lord..." Someone shouted tremblingly.
"What?" Yun Ke turned to look at him, "Do you have something to say?"
The man opened his mouth and breathed in a breath of cold air. He felt that his trachea was frozen, so he couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head vigorously.
"Okay." Yun Ke gave the guard a wink, and the guard went over and tilted the eunuch off the pillar, and then threw a padded jacket to him.
Trembling in haste, he grabbed the padded jacket and wrapped it around his body.
"My lord... the servants did not find any problems with the stone slab." After a while, the eunuch came to his senses, and said tremblingly, "But the iron stove was not placed there."
"Oh?" Yun Ke slightly raised his eyebrows. "go on."
"My lord...that iron stove was originally on the periphery." However, a court lady in Jingpin Wanhuayuan reminded the servants that the daughter-in-law of Concubine Jing, Concubine Jing, had already brought her body, so it would not be frozen. Move the stove closer, and the concubine Defei will be happy. There will be rewards at that time, and maybe the slaves will be spared the punishment. The servants were heartbroken, the concubine de concubine was a figure who could cover the sky with one hand in the palace. So yo,,…”
"Is what he said true?" Yun Ke asked.
The other few were too frozen to speak, so they could only nod vigorously.
"Okay, let's put them down first." Yun Ke said. Sergeant Bucai.
"Yes." The guards hurriedly put the eunuchs down, and gave them cotton jackets.
"Let's go, follow this king to Empress Jing to find out who it is." Yun Ke said. Then he turned around and let the guards drag a few eunuchs who stumbled towards Wanhua Garden.
While walking, Yun Ke pondered, as Gu Yuqi said, there is really evidence pointing to Yun Qing, which means that Yun Qing's suspicion is getting bigger and bigger.
After entering the Wanhua Garden, how could Yunqing fall asleep, as soon as he heard any movement outside, he immediately put on his clothes and went out.
"Seventh brother." Seeing that Yun Ke came with a large number of guards and a few disheveled eunuchs, he hurriedly asked, "Have you ever found anything?"
After asking, I felt that my question was inappropriate, so I immediately changed my words, "Seventh brother, brother is really wronged."
"Don't be impatient." Yun Ke cupped his fists at Yun Qing, "Things will always come to light."
Yun Qing smiled wryly, "What do you call this. My mother and concubine just like cats, but I didn't expect such a big commotion."
"Now it's not just about cats." Yun Ke said flatly.
Yun Qing felt his scalp explode when he heard it, what else is there? "Go find it." Yun Ke said to the eunuchs.
"Yes." Their lives were at stake, and the few people did not dare to neglect at all, and hurried into the maid's room in Wanhuayuan.
"Where's Xiaobi?" Several eunuchs asked anxiously when they didn't find the maid in the maid's room.
"After she came back today, she only showed up once and never showed up again," said a court lady.
The eunuchs looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that the sky was about to fall.
I can only report to Yun Ke truthfully.
"Search." Yun Ke ordered.
As long as people are in this yard, where else can they hide
The guards searched the entire Wanhua Garden in a daze, but they couldn't find Xiaobi.
Yun Ke frowned, "Is there a well in Wanhua Garden?" he asked.
The guards nodded immediately. Just saw a well in the backyard.
"Have you seen it there?" Yun Ke asked.
The guards were startled, shook their heads one after another, and immediately ran over cleverly.
It didn't take long before they found a dead woman's body, wearing the clothes of a court lady, and when they turned her around, the eunuchs saw it and shouted, "Go back to the prince, it's her."
"Check to see how he died?" Yun Ke said.
"Yes." The guards briefly checked Xiaobi, "I didn't find anything unusual when I returned to the prince."
"Take the corpse away." Yun Ke said, and the guards carried Xiaobi's body out.
Is this considered suicide
Yun Ke glanced at Yun Qing, his face turned pale, and his hands could be faintly seen trembling under his sleeves.
Seeing Yun Ke looking at him, he immediately grabbed Yun Ke's sleeve, "Seventh Brother, trust me!"
"I believe it's useless." Yun Ke said lightly, reaching out and brushing away Yun Qing's hand.
"Ask those maids, has Xiaobi been in contact with any strangers recently?" Yun Ke asked while standing aside.
If he didn't find a clue, he would cut it off immediately.
What a coincidence, Yun Ke smiled coldly and stood in Wanhua Garden with his hands behind his back.
It was as if an invisible thread was guiding him, making him seem to be close to the truth of the matter, but actually pushing him far away. All the evidence seems to be pulling on Zhao Yunqing intentionally or unintentionally.
Could it really be Yunqing? Yun Ke shook his head in his heart, he didn't think so.
Now Yun Ke believed Gu Yuqi's words more and more.
Maybe he missed something important.
If it is according to what the caretaker Yuqi said, then Yunyi is very suspicious.
Just to bring down Yunqing, he didn't hesitate to take out his wife to cheat him together, Yunyi's heart is really dark enough.
But having said that, Yun Yi has not even had the slightest suspicion so far, and maybe all of this has nothing to do with him, he is just a simple victim.
So who is it!
Sure enough, as Yun Ke expected, the group of maids thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a reason. Xiao Bi usually doesn't talk very much, only one younger sister is also working in the palace, and she will often communicate with her. Others really do not see any abnormalities.
The court lady who helped Jingpin Leopard Cat was so frightened that she couldn't even walk.
The cat ran away from her hand, and when she came back, she was terrified to death, and the other court ladies also kept her distance. Now that Prince An came, and the guards questioned her, she fainted from fright on the spot.
When Yun Ke saw her, he asked someone to carry her down, and wait until he wakes up.
The thread is broken again.
Yun Ke ordered Wanhuayuan to continue to be guarded, and then ordered someone to find a foreman to perform an overnight autopsy.
Waiting for Wu's autopsy was a bit boring, so Yun Ke walked around the palace casually.
In fact, he just wanted to come out to clear up his slightly swollen head.
So many clues seemed to be in front of him, but if he checked it, he would kill someone, check it, and then kill someone, it really made him a little bit helpless.
As Yun Ke walked, he unknowingly walked into the Fanghua Courtyard where the prince was imprisoned.
There appeared to be lights in it.
Yun Ke stopped in his tracks, wondering if he should go in and have a look.
Everywhere in this palace has already turned upside down, but this place is still peaceful.
He thought about it, and let it go, after all, he was the one who captured His Royal Highness that day, if he went in now, he might not be welcomed, so why make himself uncomfortable.
What hidden connection do these maids and eunuchs have
Yun Ke couldn't figure it out.
