Chapter 225: The clues are gone
The bag was opened, and there was nothing inside except a few changes of clothes. Yun Ke asked, "That's all?" "Yes." The guard replied.
"Don't even have any money?" Yun Ke asked coldly.
Even if he is punished to do hard labor, the inner government still has monthly money, so there is not a single copper plate left.
Yun Ke glanced at the eunuchs kneeling in front of him.
"Minions have something to say." A **** in a hard-worker shirt said timidly.
"That's it." Yun Ke nodded.
"The slave and the two of them are from the same country." The **** said in a trembling voice, "Before the Chinese New Year, the palace allowed visits. The slave saw that the two of them took out all their money and handed it over to one person to take to the countryside. It seems that there are quite a few. The specific slaves do not know."
"Okay, you all go back temporarily." Yun Ke waved his hand, "But a few supervisors will stay."
After the other eunuchs thanked them, they filed out, but the few overseers who were left behind were pale with fright.
"Your Highness is kind, Your Highness spares your life. The servants really don't know anything." Someone was already kowtowing to Yun Ke.
"You are on the task of overseeing the work, but you haven't checked out any abnormalities in the finished slate?" Yun Ke said coldly, "You still have the face to ask this king to forgive you? You really can say it."
Several people knelt in front of Yun Ke and shook like sifting chaff.
"Take off their coats and tie them outside." Yun Ke said to the guards beside him.
"Yes." The guards folded their fists and dragged these people out like a dead dog.
"Your Highness, spare your life!" Someone shouted incessantly.
It was freezing cold outside, and it would feel cold to stand outside wearing clothes. If you were to strip off your coat, I was afraid that it would freeze into ice within a short time.
Yun Ke smiled coldly, completely ignoring those mourning sounds.
Waiting for those people to be **** outside for a while. Only then did Yun Ke slowly walk out of the palace and into the courtyard. Several naked eunuchs were tied to the pillars in the yard, all of them were shaking from the cold, unable to speak.
"This king heard that after being frozen, the hands and feet will freeze, and gradually lose consciousness, and then it will shatter if you hit it with a stick, without a drop of blood." Yun Ke wore a big cloak, He stood in the yard with his hands in his hands and smiled slightly.
The light of the torches in the yard illuminated his jade-like face, making the few eunuchs who were already frozen with a chill in their hearts shudder.
"It's just a matter of hearing." Yun Ke continued, "This king has not seen it with his own eyes. It's a coincidence that you two happened to be in the hands of this king. If there is anything you want to say to this king, this king will Maybe the king will listen to it. To save you all this pain, if no one has anything to say to this king, then this king will have an eye-opener today." After he finished speaking, he said to the guard, "I'll go in a while. Find an iron stick, and when their hands and feet are frozen, knock them one by one to see if they will shatter. Will they bleed."
"Your Highness..." Someone shouted shiveringly.
"What?" Yun Ke turned to look at him, "Do you have something to say?"
The man opened his mouth and breathed in cold air. He felt that his trachea was frozen. He couldn't speak, so he could only nod his head vigorously.
"Okay." Yun Ke gave the guard a wink, and the guard leaned the **** down from the pillar, and then threw a padded jacket to him.
He hurriedly and tremblingly grabbed the padded jacket and wrapped it around him.
"My lord... the servants really didn't find any problems with the slate." After a while, the **** recovered a little, and said tremblingly, "But that iron stove was not originally placed there."
"Oh?" Yun Ke raised his eyebrows slightly. "go on."
"My lord... that iron stove was originally on the periphery." But a maid of Jing Concubine Wan Hua Yuan reminded the servants, saying that Concubine De's daughter-in-law, Concubine Jing, had already taken her body, it would not be frozen. Move the stove closer, and Empress De Concubine will be delighted. There will be rewards at that time, and maybe it will save the slaves from their sins. The servants are heartbroken, the concubine Virtue is a person who can cover the sky with one hand in the palace. So,,,..."
"Is what he said true?" Yun Ke asked.
The other few were frozen speechless and could only nod their heads vigorously.
"Okay, let's put them down first," Yun Ke said. Only on the service cloth.
"Yes." The guards hurriedly put down several eunuchs and gave them padded jackets.
"Let's go, follow this king to the concubine Jing's side to identify. Who is it?" Yun Ke said. Then he turned around and let the guards drag a few eunuchs and stumble towards Wanhua Garden.
While walking, Yun Ke thought about it, as Gu Yuqi said, there is really evidence pointing to Yun Qing, which means that Yun Qing's suspicion is getting bigger and bigger.
Entering Wanhua Garden, where could Yun Qing fall asleep, as soon as he heard the movement outside, he immediately put on his clothes and went out.
"Seventh brother." Seeing that Yun Ke was bringing a large number of guards and several eunuchs in disheveled clothes, he hurriedly asked, "Have you found anything."
After asking, I felt that my question was inappropriate, and immediately changed my mouth and said, "Seventh brother, brother is really wronged."
"Don't be impatient, Shao'an." Yun Ke clenched his fists at Yun Qing, "Things will always come to light."
Yun Qing smiled bitterly, "What are you talking about? My mother-in-law just likes cats, but I didn't expect such a big disturbance."
"It's not just the cat's problem now." Yun Ke said lightly.
Yun Qing felt his scalp explode when he heard it, what else is going on? "Go find it." Yun Ke said to the eunuchs.
"Yes." As their lives were at stake, several people did not dare to neglect, and rushed into the palace maid's room in Wanhua Garden.
"Where's Xiaobi?" Several eunuchs asked anxiously, not finding the maid in the palace maid's room.
"After she came back today, she only appeared once and never showed up again," said a palace maid.
Several eunuchs looked at each other, only to feel that the sky was about to fall.
You 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 were stunned to rummage the entire Wanhua Garden, but they couldn't find any trace of Xiaobi.
Yun Ke's brows furrowed, "Is there a well in Wanhua Garden?" he asked.
The guards nodded immediately. I just saw a water well in the backyard.
"Did you see it there?" Yun Ke asked.
The guards were startled, shook their heads one after another, and immediately ran over smartly.
It didn't take long for them to retrieve the corpse of a dead woman, wearing the clothes of a palace maid, and when they turned around, a few eunuchs looked at it and shouted, "Hui Wangye, it's her."
"Check to see how he died?" Yun Ke said.
"Yes." The guards briefly checked Xiaobi, "Hui Wangye didn't find anything unusual."
"Take the body away." Yun Ke said, and the guards carried Xiaobi's body out.
Is this considered suicide?
Yun Ke glanced at Yun Qing, his face was pale, and he could faintly see trembling under his sleeve robe.
Seeing Yun Ke looking at him, he immediately grabbed Yun Ke's sleeve, "Seventh brother, believe me!"
"I believe it's useless." Yun Ke said lightly, reaching out and brushing Yun Qing's hand.
"Ask those palace maids, has Xiaobi been in contact with any strangers recently?" Yun Ke asked while standing aside.
If he doesn't find a clue, he will cut off immediately.
What a coincidence, Yun Ke smiled coldly and stood in Wanhua Garden with his hands behind his back.
All this seems to be an invisible thread leading him, making him seem to have gotten close to the truth of the matter, but actually pushing him far away. All the evidence seems to be pulling towards Yunqing intentionally or unintentionally.
Will it really be Yunqing? Yun Ke shook his head in his heart, he didn't think so.
Now Yun Ke believes more and more in Gu Yuqi's words.
Maybe he missed something important.
If taking care of Yuqi as said, then Yun Yi is very suspicious.
Just in order to bring down Yun Qing, he didn't hesitate to take out his wife and pit him together, Yun Yi's heart is really dark enough.
But having said that, Yun Yi didn't even have the slightest suspicion so far, and maybe it had nothing to do with him, he was just a simple victim.
So who is it!
Sure enough, as Yun Ke expected, the group of palace maids thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason. Xiaobi usually doesn't talk much, only one younger sister is also on duty in the palace, and she will often communicate with her. Others really can't see any abnormality.
The maid who helped the leopard cat was so frightened that she couldn't even walk.
The cat ran from her hands. After she came back, she was afraid of dying. The other ladies in the palace were also estranged from her. Now that Prince An was here, and the guards questioned her, she was so frightened that she fainted on the spot.
As soon as Yun Ke saw it, he asked someone to carry her down as well, and wait until he wakes up.
The thread is broken again.
Yun Ke asked Wan Hua Yuan to continue to look after him, and then ordered someone to find him for an autopsy overnight.
It was a bit boring to wait for the post-mortem examination, so Yun Ke walked around the palace casually.
He was actually just trying to wake up his slightly swollen head.
So many clues seemed to be in front of him, but he checked, killed some people, checked, and killed some people, it really made him a little helpless.
As Yun Ke walked, he unknowingly walked into the Fanghua Court where the prince was confined.
There appear to be lights inside.
Yun Ke stopped, wondering if he should go in and have a look.
The palace is full of turmoil, but it is still quiet here.
He thought about it, and let it go. After all, he caught His Royal Highness the same day. If he went in now, I'm afraid it wouldn't be popular.
What is the hidden connection between these palace maids and the eunuchs?
Yun Ke couldn't figure it out.
