Chapter 857: Longnan Zhang Family (First Update)
Concubine Hua's hands and feet are slightly swollen, her eyes are red, and her expression is haggard. Her eyes looking at Concubine Mei's residence are full of deep-seated hatred and sadness. Her belly is swollen. She has been pregnant for a long time, which Meng Qi can detect without sensing. To the fetal movement of new life.
The current emperor has been married for more than ten years and has been on the throne for a long time. He still has no children and is quite anxious. What he didn't expect is that he finally had a child but never saw the birth... Meng Qi had many thoughts. There are sighs, emotions, and new ideas.
When the emperor obtains a blood heir, many things will be completely different. There will be more conflicts of interest, and the motives and purposes of the sudden death must expand accordingly.
It's not that I doubt Zhao Laowu, it's just that the case has another way of thinking. You can't turn a blind eye and pretend not to know. Maybe someone wants to take this opportunity to provoke, kill the emperor, frame Zhao Laowu, and benefit from it? Maybe other stakeholders want to plunge the Zhao family in the divine capital into civil strife?
There may be too many. It would be unwise to not think about it simply because of Zhao Laowu. Meng Qi took a step forward and walked towards Concubine Hua.
Concubine Hua, who was hiding in a hiding place, suddenly found someone in front of her. She was so frightened that she almost screamed, but luckily she covered her mouth in time.
When she came back to her senses, her eyes looking at Meng Qi became a little more intense, and she spoke a little recklessly:
"Are you the new chief catcher?"
She saw Liu Shengming, the Zireng divine hunter who often came in and out of the palace, respectfully following Meng Qi, and naturally there was no shortage of guesses.
"Someone who holds the position of temporary acting chief catcher has met Concubine Hua Guifei." Meng Qi bowed casually.
Concubine Hua's eyes were bright, with a hint of madness: "Has the chief catcher ever found out the cause of the emperor's death? It was Concubine Mei who did it, it must be Concubine Mei who did it! She was jealous that I was pregnant with the prince, and she was a candidate for supplements. , sooner or later the foundation will be destroyed, and you will never be able to get pregnant!”
"Concubine Mei relies on the emperor for her glory and wealth. I can't think of a reason why she killed the emperor." Meng Qi answered this deliberately to see if he could get any new clues from Concubine Hua.
Concubine Hua pursed her lips, covered her stomach with both hands, and her face showed a bit of tenderness: "Because she knows very well that when she is exhausted, she will lose the emperor's favor, and she will lose the favor of the emperor, and she will lose the favor of the concubines in the cold palace and the ordinary palace maids. There won’t be much difference. She can only get food and clothing without having to do hard work, so she will definitely try her best to get pregnant regardless of the emperor’s health, causing the backlash of taking supplements.”
"She didn't want to kill the emperor, but the emperor was definitely killed by her."
The awkward words revealed a certain possibility. The previous investigation of Concubine Mei by the Six Sects was focused on deliberately killing the emperor. Therefore, it was based on whether she practiced the secret art of tonic and whether she had a charming body, etc. Therefore, Concubine Mei's own emotions did not have any Question, but what if it was a mistake, and even Concubine Mei herself never thought that she was the one who killed the emperor?
Meng Qi turned to look at Liu Shengming and ordered: "Liu Shenqing, ask Concubine Mei again if she has ever used the secret method of pregnancy?"
The only problem is that the current emperor is not a fool. He has grown up in intrigues. Will he not be careful about his concubine trying to get pregnant, causing the backlash of the tonic technique?
"I humbly obey my orders." Liu Shengming's attitude was very upright, and he completely regarded Meng Qi as the real chief catcher.
A sickly blush appeared on Concubine Hua's face, and she said in a fervent voice: "The chief arrester must be aware of the truth!"
"My dear concubine, why are you so sure that Concubine Mei is not favored by the emperor? Maybe the emperor just wants to replenish her for a while, and when she breaks through the barrier, she can make up for Concubine Mei?" Meng Qi himself did not go in to ask, but he still had questions that needed to be answered. .
Concubine Hua snorted, full of disdain, her face turned red and she seemed embarrassed. After a while, it turned into a sneer and she looked to the side: "The emperor often told his concubine that Concubine Mei is like a piece of wood on the bed. She doesn't understand." You can't even moan when you cater to me, and even if you're intoxicated, it's extremely boring, not as good as a toe from my concubine."
She did not claim to be the palace in front of Meng Qi, because the chief catcher was often very powerful and controlled the six gates. His position in the court was very important in the eyes of the royal family. How could the concubines and princes compare?
Can a man with a harem say anything in bed? If he says he doesn't love him, does he really mean he doesn't love him? This was the first thought that came to Meng Qi's mind, but he was immediately stunned.
Mei Fei is like a piece of wood on the bed, she doesn't know how to cater to her, she can't even moan, and even when she's intoxicated, she's extremely boring?
According to the records, Concubine Mei moaned so softly and so passionately that the maids blushed and their legs became weak!
There is an obvious contradiction between the two. Who is lying?
The palace maids and eunuchs were all tortured separately. Unless they had colluded long ago, they would not have been so unanimous. And with their strength and realm, if they had colluded, they would have been exposed in front of the six-door torture headhunters and various secret methods. Therefore, , they must have heard a very seductive moan* at that time.
Concubine Hua Guifei did not know the contents of the dossier and could not have deliberately lied about this matter. The emotions Yuan Xinyin sensed also proved this.
Are both true? Meng Qi narrowed his eyes. If so, does it mean that the person who moaned at that time was someone else?
The emperor was a little addicted to beauty and pleasure. He was in a very good mood at that time and was easily emotional. He was in a dangerous state when he was picking up supplements. At this time, if a woman who was good at seducing on location suddenly started to moan* with her skills, It is not difficult to arouse the passion and make him lose control of his soul, let out a lot of anger, backfire on his body, become obsessed and die!
In this way, no traces can be seen from the corpse, and Concubine Mei, who is addicted to love, cannot find it. The maids and eunuchs outside will think that it is Concubine Mei's voice.
There are many similar strong women on location, and every female Bodhisattva in Su Nu Tao is qualified for the job. The question is, how can a strong on-location sneak into the emperor's palace without anyone noticing? The Zhao family in the divine capital has far more powerful people than other families!
Didn't Feng Zhenghui, the general manager in charge of the overall defense of the palace at that time, notice it?
While his thoughts were turning, Meng Qi saw Liu Shengming coming out of the room and respectfully reported back: "General, Concubine Mei did not seek the secret method of pregnancy because the emperor promised her that when she breaks through, he will use medicine to help her strengthen her foundation and strengthen her vitality. If you use the royal secret method when the time comes, you will definitely get pregnant.”
"No, it's impossible..." Concubine Hua was stunned and muttered to herself, with a look of disbelief on her face, "He said that if he only likes me, he will only make me pregnant..."
Meng Qi ignored her, looked at Liu Shengming, and said calmly: "Where is Feng Zheng imprisoned? I have something I want to confirm again."
At that time, the eunuchs and maids near the palace were detained separately and would not be released until the truth came to light.
"Your humble position leads the boss to arrest you." Liu Shengming turned around and led Meng Qi to another room.
"The chief catcher is here to ask about Feng Zheng." He said to the Yinzhang catcher who was guarding the door.
The two silver medal catchers first paid homage to the chief catcher, Mr. Su Mengsu, and then one of them said: "Reporting to the chief catcher, half an hour later, Zhang Yu Jin Zhanggang brought Feng Zheng back to his home, saying that he was someone from his family. An elder has something to do with Feng Zheng, and wants to use his love to see if he can find new clues."
Zhang Yu was a member of the Zhang family in Longnan, and he brought in the gold seal mixed with sand to catch his head.
"Longnan Zhang family? Did you take Feng Zheng away?" Meng Qi was shocked, immediately turned around, and headed straight to the Zhang Mansion with Liu Shengming.
He originally planned to talk to King Qin Zhao Jingshi, but now it's too late!
The Zhang family's mansion in Longnan is located in a quiet location with shady trees, but there is always a feeling of scorching sun.
Meng Qi lowered his escape light, landed in front of the door, and said bluntly: "A certain person is the new chief arrester of the six sects, and he wants to see Mr. Zhang."
His status, status and reputation are all there, so if his disciples dare to make things difficult, they will immediately repay him.
Not long after, Zhang Baili, the counselor and political official, arrived at the middle gate.
He has a ruddy face, full of energy, and a majestic figure, like an old bear: "Why are you here to catch the head?"
Meng Qi looked around and said with a smile: "Someone found new clues and wanted to ask Feng Zheng for questioning. Unexpectedly, he was taken to your mansion. I was afraid of wasting time, so I just came to the door."
"Why does the chief policeman need to come to the door in person for such a trivial matter?" Zhang Baili laughed and ordered his servants, "Go find Old Seventeen and bring Feng Zheng with you."
Seeing that the other party's attitude was normal, Meng Qi frowned secretly.
After half a cup of tea, Zhang Yu, who was still wearing the gold medal head catcher's uniform, came over with a panicked expression: "Fifth uncle, the chief catcher, Feng Zheng, Feng Zheng committed suicide!"
"What?" Zhang Baili looked surprised, as if he couldn't believe it.
Meng Qi had already expected a similar scene. His eyes flickered back and forth on the two people's faces, and he turned to tell Liu Shengming: "Recruit all the spies near Zhang Mansion and report everything they saw in the past quarter of an hour."
Zhang Baili was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of anger:
"Mr. Su arrests the head, do you suspect that our Zhang family is responsible for the murder?"
His breath was strong, the nearby pond was gurgling and filled with water vapor, and carp were floating on their bellies, and there was a faint fragrance.
