Chapter 4

While waiting, Shiting's grace came again. A young eunuch ran out and brought two chairs over to Yu Qingfeng and Wang Eunuch.

"Master Pei has ordered that the position of the girl's chair cannot be changed. Please sit down, girl." The young eunuch respectfully asked Yu Qingfeng to take a seat.

Yu Qingfeng was just glad that her teasing was effective, and Pei Wuyan was willing to sit down. As soon as she sat down, she realized that her back was facing the stone pavilion, and she realized it later.

You Pei Wuyan, you don’t want to see my face? I will let you see it every day from now on!

There were people above who were doing things quickly. Not long after, Eunuch Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, trotted over with four palace attendants behind him. They headed straight for the stone pavilion, but were stopped by Eunuch Wang.

"Eunuch Zhao, please listen first...listen to this girl's question. By the way, what's your name, girl?" Only then did Eunuch Wang realize that he still didn't know Yu Qingfeng's last name.

"Yu Qingfeng." There was no time to make it up, so he simply said frankly.

Yu Qingfeng saluted Eunuch Zhao, "Eunuch Zhao, you are the head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and you have also ordered that no rumors about the Lotus Pond serial murder case be spread. I think you were responsible for the aftermath of the previous cases, and you must be the most familiar with the previous three cases. This servant was ordered to investigate the floating corpse.

I am bold enough to ask you to come here because I want to..."

Eunuch Zhao looked up and down at Yu Qingfeng with disdain, covered his mouth and laughed, interrupting Yu Qingfeng's words.

Eunuch Wang coughed, winked at Eunuch Zhao, and looked in the direction of the stone pavilion.

Eunuch Zhao then spoke, "It's just a small matter like a few slaves having bad legs and falling into the water. It's not enough to alarm the master. These slaves dare to add fuel to the fire and spread rumors. Let's see if I don't skin them."

Just as Yu Qingfeng was about to speak, the blabbering Eunuch Zhao preempted her, "Hey, how can this filthy thing be placed on the pavilion like this while the masters are still here? This is so disrespectful! Someone, hurry up and put her

Carry it away, carry it away quickly, and throw it into a mass grave!"

The people brought by Eunuch Zhao obeyed the order and came forward to carry the body.

"No!" Yu Qingfeng quickly stopped her, "The body has not been inspected and cannot be thrown away."

"Investigation? You, you found a co-worker to conduct an autopsy here? What kind of behavior is this?" Eunuch Zhao stamped his feet and shouted in a soft voice.

Yu Qingfeng felt guilty, no one had mentioned what she had done, and she couldn't do it even if she was asked to have close contact with a human flesh ball. Just when she was hesitating how to deal with it, Shiting's grace came again.

A man in official uniform who had been standing behind Mr. Pei walked out of the stone pavilion and went straight to the body.

"Master Lin, what are you..." Wang Gonggong leaned forward and asked.

Yu Qingfeng came up behind Eunuch Wang and asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Wang, who is this Master Lin?"

The prince turned his head and whispered: "This is the young minister of Dali Temple, Lin Ming, Lord Lin."

"Of course it is inconvenient to ask Wu Zuo to come here. I will conduct a brief inspection first, and then ask someone to send the body to Dali Temple for Wu Zuo to disembowel and dissect it for detailed examination."

Lin Ming had a square face, big eyes and wide ears, with an upright and decent face. As he spoke, he began to observe the corpse without any fear or disgust.

Eunuch Zhao stared and stammered in a trembling voice: "Open, disembowel? You can't do it. You can't do it. This soaked corpse swells and is full of corpse poison. Once it is cut open, it will explode and the poisonous gas will spread! Such a dangerous thing is still

Throw them into mass graves as soon as possible."

Hey, this eunuch from the deep palace actually has such common sense. Yu Qingfeng was very impressed by this Eunuch Zhao.

Mr. Lin squatted down next to the corpse and looked closely at the head and face of the corpse. "My father-in-law, there is no need to panic. The prince and Mr. Pei are here. I will not disembowel them here. I will handle them with caution. Even if the poison in the corpse is not leaked,

I am also the first to bear the brunt, father-in-law only needs to stand a few steps away to stay safe."

Eunuch Zhao nodded and bowed, took a dozen steps back, took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose.

While Yu Qingfeng stared at Lin Ming and the corpse, she spoke loudly to the palace people brought by Eunuch Zhao, "I want to know as much detail as possible about the background information, human relationships, and behavior of the four deceased people before the accident. Since you all

They are acquaintances of the deceased, so let me introduce them one by one."

"You guys, try your best to answer the questions. If you tell lies, the Za family will skin you." Eunuch Zhao gritted his back teeth and glared at the four palace officials one by one with a sinister look. The threat and intimidation could not be more obvious.

Yu Qingfeng sneered secretly, there was no silver here, it was an old routine, for fear that the audience would not notice that there was something wrong with Eunuch Zhao.

The problem now is, with the threat of Eunuch Zhao present, how can Yu Qingfeng pry open the mouths of these insiders? It would be great if she could find a way to get him away.

Eunuch Zhao glanced at Lin Ming who was inspecting the body again, then bowed to Shiting and saluted, and while backing up, he said, "Okay, then there will be nothing wrong with the slave here, right? The Ministry of Internal Affairs is busy with affairs, so the slave will resign first."

Already."

Yu Qingfeng couldn't believe it. Whatever he thought, Eunuch Zhao actually wanted to leave the show?

No, Eunuch Zhao's behavior is illogical and contradictory.

The four palace servants brought by Eunuch Zhao all had frightened expressions on their faces and were trembling with fear. They kept looking at Eunuch Zhao's face. Apparently Eunuch Zhao had asked them to be careful what they said before they came.

Even here, Eunuch Zhao was still worried and threatened again in front of everyone.

But if he was so worried about the palace people spilling the beans and telling the truth, wouldn't he be more able to intimidate and threaten them by staying here?

Or are you afraid of the so-called corpse poison?

No, Mr. Lin is the person closest to the corpse, and Eunuch Zhao is almost as close to the corpse as the nobles of Shiting are to the corpse.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. This monster is either the screenwriter's head, or it is a foreshadowing. Yu Qingfeng bets that this time it is a foreshadowing.

Eunuch Zhao has something more urgent that he must do now, and it is very possible that he must tip off the real murderer.

When Eunuch Zhao turned around, Yu Qingfeng leaned into Eunuch Wang's ear and said, "Eunuch Wang, could you please find an excited palace servant to follow Eunuch Zhao secretly, see where he goes and what he does, and report back in time."

Eunuch Wang was startled, his old habit relapsed, and he coughed violently, "You mean the murderer is Eunuch Zhao?"

"I don't know, but Eunuch Zhao definitely has a problem and is ready to work."

Eunuch Wang pondered and waved, calling over the little eunuch who had just moved the chair, "Little Lizi, go and follow Eunuch Zhao secretly..."

"Okay, you four, whoever is an acquaintance of the first deceased, let's get started." Yu Qingfeng walked up to the four of them, pacing back and forth with her hands behind her back, full of momentum.

A palace maid stepped forward and said timidly: "My servant Bi Yuan is a maid of Shangshi Bureau. Aunt Chunxi, who drowned ten years ago, was the medicine manager of Shangshi Bureau. Aunt Chunxi always took good care of me when she was alive."

The first deceased was actually a female official, which was beyond Yu Qingfeng's expectation.

A palace maid stepped forward to take over and said with a tearful voice: "My slave Danyun is a maid from the Shangfu Bureau. Xiao Cui, who drowned half a year ago, is a good sister who entered the palace with me."

An eunuch followed closely behind, speaking nervously and incoherently, "Slave Xiao Luzi is the eunuch in the Imperial Medical Bureau who is responsible for decoction. Aunt Liu who drowned three months ago, oh no, it was Doctor Liu, she, she was the imperial eunuch."

The medical bureau specially recruits female medical doctors from among the people to serve the empresses of various palaces. She is a well-known goddess doctor among the people. When she saw that I looked a bit like her son, she asked me to call her my aunt."

The last little eunuch looked very young, but he seemed to be ignorant and fearless. "My servant, Xiao Fuzi, is from Guanhua Palace. In fact, I'm not very familiar with Aunt Sun. Eunuch Zhao said he wanted to find an acquaintance of Aunt Sun, but he didn't."

If anyone wants to come, he sends me here..."

Xiao Luzi on the side quickly gave the young and ignorant Xiao Fuzi a hard blow with his elbow.

Xiao Fuzi was stunned, then turned around and asked Xiao Luzi bluntly: "Ah? This can't be said either?"

Yu Qingfeng secretly smiled, cute little Fuzi, isn't the breakthrough coming to your door?
