"These are the two things from the Xia family." Yun Qing kicked the two burned and deformed corpses disdainfully. "It doesn't make any difference."
"But there are few people?" Yun Ke asked.
"Do you still need to ask?" Yun Qing felt that Yun Ke's asking such a question might be a bit contemptuous of his IQ. "As soon as the king arrived here, he counted the number of people. Only a few guards died. There are not one prisoner missing, if you add the two of them."
"The guards are dead, but there are still many people?" Yun Ke felt strange. "Everyone else is fine, why are these two burned to death?" Yun Ke asked, and he turned to look at the corpses of the guards, to see their symptoms and the eunuchs and maids who died in the palace. The symptoms are basically the same.
Yun Ke didn't even need to find someone to examine them to be able to conclude that they died from the same poison.
Chu Xia's family shot. It's just why it took so much effort to burn the imperial prison and kill the guards. Is it just an opportunity to create chaos and let two members of the Xia family burn to death in the imperial prison? This doesn't make sense either.
"You ask me, I'll ask who." Yun Qing shook his head and said angrily.
Even though he shouldn't confront Yun Ke tit for tat, what happened two days ago made him too aggrieved.
"Fourth brother still blames younger brother?" Yun Ke saw the dissatisfaction in Yunqing's eyes, so he asked straight to the point.
"That's not true." Yun Qing snorted, "At least what you did was fair and aboveboard." After speaking, he cupped his fists at Yun Ke, "I've been locked up for two days, and I'm in a bad mood, forgive me."
"Thank you fourth brother for your understanding." Yun Ke also cupped his fists.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Yun Qing stepped over the two corpses and walked towards the prison. "When the fire broke out, the cell boss had already transferred them out. As soon as the guards died and the chaos broke out, those two jumped up and ran into the fire. They didn't run outside, so they didn't separate their hands to chase them. Anyway, they were dead inside, so they couldn't get out. They were thinking that these two people might be terrified, so they panicked. When they got inside, they were burned. Maybe they will come out by themselves, so don't worry. I didn't know that they would not come out after the fire was extinguished. When I went in to search, I only found these two corpses. I really saw a ghost!"
Yun Qing and Yun Ke were chattering as they walked towards the burning prison.
"It's the first time I've lived for so long that I'm going to seek my own death." Yun Qing said with a sneer. "Could it be that you know that your capital crime can be offset by the gold medal for avoiding death, but you can't escape the life crime. It's better to die, so you went to seek death by yourself?"
can you? Yun Ke also asked himself the same question in his heart, but the answer he gave was obviously no.
"That's right. My concubine mother said that the cat that attacked the queen that day belonged to her, but which one attacked Princess Jing was not." Yun Qing suddenly remembered something and said to Yun Ke. "I meant to say it yesterday, but then I forgot. Look at my memory."
"Really?" Yun Ke was slightly taken aback, he really didn't know this.
Concubine Jing didn't say anything, he only thought that the two cats belonged to her.
That is to say, no matter whether Jingbi's cat was present that day, someone would put the cat in there on purpose.
It seems that the Xia family prepared really well. Who was the one who released the cat for him
"Could it be an ownerless wild cat in the palace?" Yun Ke asked.
"The concubine mother said no, it should be a cat that is easy to take care of." Yun Qing said, "Concubine mother said that she didn't see it clearly when she was in a hurry, but the cat's fur was smooth and smooth, and its body was round. It was very clean Like a wild cat." Yun Qing paused. "You also know my mother's concubine's habit. She can't move her legs when she sees a cat, so most of what she said is true. That cat should be raised by someone, and it itches very well. This kind of cat That’s why I’m not afraid of people. My personality is also lively.”
Then he really wanted to go back and ask who raised that cat.
At that time, he caught the cat and locked it in a cage. Together with the one of Concubine Jing, he found a special person to raise it in the palace of Changning Palace.
While talking, the two walked into the burning black prison.
There is a mess everywhere, the surrounding stone walls have been burned black by fire, all the wooden fences and doors have been burned, and the original appearance of this place can no longer be seen, it is just a long, empty and dark room .
"It's really a living coffin." Yun Qing looked around and said in amazement, "Do you think the two of them are really impatient?"
"If you're really impatient, how can you temporarily save your life with the death-prevention gold medal?" After Yun Ke finished speaking, he and Yun Qing glanced at each other, and the two walked out at the same time.
The two of them didn't even think to see if there were gold medals hanging on the two corpses.
They ordered people to turn the two corpses upside down. There were indeed two plaques hanging on their chests, which had been burned and deformed a bit. However, they ordered people to remove the plaques and wipe off the black covering on them. If you look closely, you can vaguely make out the writing on it.
There is really a gold medal for avoiding death!
"Go call Wu Zuo for an autopsy." Yun Ke and Yun Qing were relatively speechless, and after a long time, Yun Ke said slowly to Wu Zuo.
It was only now that Yunyi came in a hurry, walking in a hurry.
"You are all here." A room of Yun Qing and Yun Ke stood inside, and Yun Yi walked over quickly, "Did you find anything?"
"What else can you find?" Yunqing lost his breath when he saw Yunyi, "It's all burned."
After speaking, he walked away.
Yun Yi touched the ashes on Yun Qing's nose, feeling a little sleepy, he looked at Yun Ke, "What is fourth brother angry about?"
"He's mad at me." Yun Ke replied lightly, and left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving Yun Yi here alone.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving one after the other, Yunyi pursed the corner of her mouth coldly, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Yun Qing is going to investigate who was on duty last night in the prison. The Ministry of Punishment is under his control. This is an errand he just won before the Chinese New Year. Now that something happened to the Xia family in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it is his It's no wonder he's in a good mood when something goes wrong in his hand.
Yun Qing went to investigate, Yun Ke was relieved, anyway, Yun Qing was absolutely impossible to release water on this matter, and he was cheated by the Xia family in the first place, so he was very angry, if he could find some clues, no It's strange to face death.
Besides, Emperor Jing asked him to investigate the case of the imperial palace that day. Now that he has found out the mastermind behind the scenes, his errand is just over, and he has also helped Yunqing get rid of the crime. As for the rest, it depends on Yunqing that's it. He also had no reason to compete with Yunqing for an errand, and was rejected for nothing.
Anyway, he didn't believe that those two members of the Xia family committed suicide in fear of crime. If we only talk about Xia Ling's possibility, but Xia Yan's feasibility does not exist at all.
But the disappearance of the two of them was really strange, even Yun Ke couldn't understand it.
Yun Ke has gone back to the palace. Waba above.
Since Yunqing told him about the cat, he wanted to find out about it.
He could only feel that there were members of the Xia family hiding in the palace, but he didn't know where they were hiding, and only by pulling them out one by one could he truly feel at ease.
He went to look for the two cats, and then went to Empress Jingpin's side, and identified for Empress Jingpin, which one belonged to her and which one belonged to someone else. Concubine Jing recognized the cat, and Yun Ke returned Concubine Jing's cat to her. Concubine Jing was naturally overjoyed.
For the other cat, Yun Ke asked around but didn't find out why.
All the palace people at Concubine Jing's side said they had never seen this cat, and he asked a few more palaces, but still found nothing, and he even asked about Concubine De's side.
Since you can't ask, let's wait for the cat's owner to find it himself.
Yun Ke deliberately threw the cat's cage into a corner of the palace, and claimed to the outside world that the cat was not allowed to stay in the palace even though it was a flat-haired bastard who didn't know anything because it caused Princess Jing's miscarriage. Throw it there and let it fend for itself.
Jingpin said that this cat was served by someone. At Jingpin's side just now, Yun Ke asked Jingpin again, and got a very positive answer from Jingpin.
Concubine Jing has been in the cold palace for so many years, naturally she has gained experience in raising cats, Yun Ke believes what she said.
Since someone has carefully raised it, maybe they can't bear to watch this cat starve to death and freeze to death.
So Yun Ke patiently sent people to hide around, to see who was so bold, and rushed to feed the cat that had caused a catastrophe.
Everyone in the palace knows to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. Once a cat like this is thrown aside, the end is death, unless the original owner can't bear it.
So this is what Yun Ke bet on.
One day or two passed without any movement, but on the third night, finally got a clue, a little eunuch dawdled towards where the cat was.
Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly took out a small fish bottle and a box of water from his sleeve, and handed them to the cat cage.
The cat had already been wowed by a hungry wolf, and had been thirsty for two days. Seeing food and water, it was like dying.
The guards guarding nearby jumped out, grabbed the little eunuch and brought him to Yun Ke.
Yun Ke found the roster to check, and this was actually the little eunuch of the clean house.
No wonder he asked several places and no one knew his cat... It turned out that the owner was in the clean room. The clean room is the place where the palace night incense is cleaned, and only eunuchs who are punished will be assigned there.
It was another one who was punished, Yun Ke thought about it, and asked, "Which palace did you work in?"
The little eunuch was almost frightened to death, and said tremblingly, "Returning to the prince, the younger one was originally at the Prince's East Palace to be dispatched, but after the prince was abolished, something happened, and the younger one was demoted to the clean room."
