Chapter 235: see you again
\"These are the two things from the Xia family." Yun Qing kicked the two burnt and deformed corpses with disdain. "It doesn't tell the difference."
"How many people are there?" Yun Ke asked.
"Do you still need to ask?" Yun Qing felt that Yun Ke's IQ was a bit underwhelming when he asked. "As soon as this king arrives here, he will count the number of people. Only a few guards died. But there are no few prisoners, if you add the two of them."
"The guards are dead, but there are not many people?" Yun Ke felt strange. "Everyone else is fine, why are these two burned to death?" Yun Ke asked, he turned to look at the bodies of the guards, their symptoms and those of 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 test it to be able to conclude that they died from the same poison.
The action of the Xia family. 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 the two members of the Xia family burn to death in the imperial prison? It doesn't make sense either.
"You ask me, I'll ask who to go." Yun Qing shook his head and said angrily.
Even though he shouldn't be diametrically opposed to Yun Ke, what happened two days ago made him too aggrieved.
"The fourth brother is still blaming the younger brother?" Yun Ke could see the dissatisfaction in Yun Qing's eyes, so he asked straight to the point.
"That's not true." Yun Qing snorted, "At least what you did is fair." After speaking, he folded his fist towards Yun Ke, "I was in a bad mood after being detained for two days, sorry."
"Thank you fourth brother for your understanding." Yun Ke also clenched his fists.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look." Yun Qing raised his legs and stepped over the two corpses, and walked towards the prison. "When the fire broke out, the head of the cell had already transferred them all out. As soon as the guard died and the chaos broke out, the two jumped up and ran into the fire. They didn't run outside, so they didn't assign people to chase. Anyway, it was dead inside, so they couldn't get out. They thought that these two people might be extremely scared, so they panicked. Maybe they came out on their own, so don't worry. I don't know when the fire is out, they won't come out, go in and look for them, only to find these two corpses. It's really a ghost!"
Yun Qing nagged while walking with Yun Ke towards the burned-out prison.
"This is the first time in my long life that I saw myself, who was robbed of prison, to seek death." Yun Qing said with a sneer. "Could it be that I know that my death penalty can be offset by a gold medal, but I can't escape my life. It's better to die, so I went to seek death myself?"
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 mother-in-law said that she raised the cat that attacked the queen that day, but the cat that attacked Princess Jing was not." Yun Qing suddenly remembered something and said to Yun Ke. "I meant to say it yesterday, but I forgot about it. Look at my memory."
"Really?" Yun Ke was slightly startled, he really didn't know this.
Concubine Jing didn't say, he just thought the two cats belonged to her.
That is to say, no matter whether there is a cat that Jingbi is present on that day, someone will deliberately put the cat in.
It seems that the Xia family prepared really well. Who gave him the cat?
"Could it be an unowned wild cat in the palace?" Yun Ke asked.
"Mother said no, it should be a cat that someone takes care of." Yun Qing said, "Mother said she was busy and she couldn't see clearly, but the cat's coat 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-in-law's hobby, she can't move her legs when she sees a cat, so what she said is true. That cat should have been raised by humans, and it is very itchy. This kind of cat I'm not afraid of people. I have a lively personality."
Then he really wants to go back and ask who owns the cat.
At that time, he caught the cat and locked it in a cage. Together with the one belonging to the concubine Jing, he found a special person to keep it in the palace of Changning Palace.
As the two of them spoke, they walked into the burning dark prison.
There is a mess everywhere, the surrounding stone walls have been burned to black by the fire, the wooden fences and doors have all been burnt down, and the original appearance is no longer visible here, just an empty, dark, long strip-shaped room. .
"It's really a living coffin." Yun Qing looked around and said in admiration, "Do you think the two of them are really impatient?"
"If you are really impatient, how can you use the death-free gold medal to temporarily save your life?" Yun Ke and Yun Qing looked at each other after speaking, and the two walked out at the same time.
The two of them didn't even think to see if there were death-free gold medals hanging on the two corpses.
They ordered people to turn the two corpses upside down, and there were actually two signs hanging on their chests, which had been burned and deformed a bit, but they ordered people to remove the signs and wipe off the black covering on them. If you look carefully, you can vaguely make out the writing on it.
There really is a death-free gold medal!
"Go and call Zu Zuo for an autopsy." Yun Ke and Yun Qing were relatively speechless. After a long time, Yun Ke said to Zu Zuo in a slow voice.
It was only now that Yun Yi came in a hurry, walking in a hurry.
"You are all here." Yun Qing and Yun Ke stood in a room, Yun Yi walked over quickly, "Did you find anything?"
"What else can I find?" Yun Qing lost his breath when he saw Yun Yi, "It's all burned out."
After he finished speaking, he walked away.
Yun Yi touched the ash on Yun Qing's nose and was a little embarrassed. He looked at Yun Ke, "Fourth brother, why is he angry?"
"He's mad at me." Yun Ke replied indifferently, and left with a swirl of his sleeves, leaving Yun Yi here alone.
Yun Yi looked at the backs of the two leaving one after the other, the corners of his mouth pursed coldly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Yun Qing went to investigate who was on duty in the prison last night, and the Ministry of Punishment was under his control. This was an errand he had just won before the Chinese New Year. Now that something happened to the Xia family in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it was like him. With trouble in his hand, it's no wonder he's in a good mood.
Yun Qing went to investigate, and Yun Ke was relieved. Anyway, Yun Qing was absolutely impossible to release water in this matter. He was already trapped by the Xia family. It's strange to be a whole person in the face of death.
Besides, Emperor Jing asked him to investigate the case of the palace that day. Since he has already found out the culprit behind the scenes, his errand is just over, and he also helped Yun Qing to clear his name. As for the next thing, it depends on Yun Qing. . He had no reason to argue with Yunqing for errands, and was disliked in vain.
Anyway, he didn't believe that the two people from the Xia family committed suicide in fear of sin. If it is only possible to say that Xia Ling is that possibility, but Xia Yan is indeed a little bit of feasibility does not exist.
However, the disappearance of the two of them is indeed strange, and Yun Ke is also puzzled.
Yun Ke went back to the palace. Huaba above.
Since Yun Qing told him about a cat, he wanted to find out about it.
He only felt that there were people from the Xia family lurking in the palace, but he didn't know where to hide them. Only by pulling them out one by one could he truly feel at ease.
He went to find the two cats, and then went to the concubine Jingniang's place to identify the two cats, which one was hers and which one belonged to others. Jing Concubine recognized the cat, and Yun Ke returned Jing Concubine's cat to her. Jing Concubine is naturally happy.
The other cat, Yun Ke asked around and didn't come up with anything.
All the palace people on Jing Concubine's side said that they had never seen this cat. He asked a few more palaces, but he found nothing. He even went to ask the concubine De.
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 that the cat could not stay in the palace even though it was a flat-haired beast who didn't know anything because it caused the miscarriage of Princess Jing's wife. Leave it there and let it fend for itself.
Concubine Jing said that this cat was served by someone before. Just now at Concubine Jing's side, Yun Ke asked Concubine Jing again, and Concubine Jing got a very positive answer.
Concubine Jing has been in the cold palace for so many years, so she naturally knows how to raise cats. Yun Ke believed what she said.
Since someone has carefully raised them, they may not have the heart to watch this cat starve 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 been in trouble.
Everyone in the palace knows to seek good luck and avoid evil. Once a cat like this is thrown aside, it will die, unless the original owner can't bear it.
So Yun Ke is betting on this.
A day or two passed, and there was no movement. On the night of the third day, there was finally a clue. A little **** dawdled and touched the cat's place.
Seeing no one around, he quickly took out a small fish bottle and a box of water from his sleeve and handed it to the cat cage.
The cat had been wowed by the hungry wolf for a long time, and had been thirsty for two days. It had the same food as water and death.
The guard standing nearby jumped out and grabbed the little **** and brought it to Yun Ke.
Yun Ke found the roster to check, this was actually the little **** of the clean room.
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 was the place to clean up Yexiang in the palace, and only punished eunuchs would be assigned there.
Another one was punished, Yun Ke's mind moved and asked, "Which palace were you originally serving as an official?"
The little **** was almost scared to death, and said tremblingly, "When I returned to the prince, the little one was originally in the east palace of the prince to be dispatched. Later, an accident happened to the abolished prince, and the little one was banished to the clean room."
