At this time, it was normal for people to die in the palace, and it would be even more normal if the death was caused by a eunuch who had a job and took the initiative to serve the new emperor.
Wei Zhongxian was extremely powerful both inside and outside the palace, but there were always those who were unwilling or unable to rely on him, and the new emperor's ascension meant that Eunuch Wei's biggest supporter had fallen. At this time, among these people Anyone with an active mind will have that idea pop up in their mind.
Wei Zhongxian only made it from the bottom layer by layer to achieve what he is today. If he can have what he has today, can't I have what he has today?
Just like a pack of wolves in the wild, when the wolf king is strong, all wolves will be honest wolves. However, once the wolf king shows signs of weakness, those who challenge the wolf king's authority and want to replace him will definitely A wolf will jump out.
Of course Wei Zhongxian would not make such an opening, and he did not think that he would become weak. So, it would be a matter of course for him to teach a few guys who don't know the heights of the world and kill the chickens and scare the monkeys.
Jiang Wan was in the resident's room, thinking very clearly.
This was originally the room where the palace guards stayed when they were guarding. But because it was close to the Qianqing Palace, he directly used it to house his subordinates. At this moment, most of the people in each room who were sent out to investigate the case had already left. Only a small part of this row of houses remains.
Moreover, they are all recuperating their energy in accordance with Jiang Wan's orders.
The palace was originally very quiet, but knowing that there were many people in this row of rooms, but still not seeing any movement, it made Quiet even more panicked.
The young eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau and the eunuch of the Shangshan Superintendent had the highest official positions among the dead. Naturally, they were also the focus of Jiang Wan's investigation. The most manpower was sent to these two places for inspection.
In almost half a day, most of the news about these two people was delivered to Jiang Wan.
The young eunuch Zhang Shaojian of the inner-official prison was fine before going to bed at night. He even talked to a few eunuchs for a while. The eunuchs saw him enter his room to rest. However, as soon as the man lay down, he went to bed again. He didn't get up either.
Moreover, according to people who arrived at the scene, the deceased had a smile on his face and a calm demeanor, and it felt like he died in his sleep. Moreover, there were no external injuries on his body, and there were no signs of damage to the doors or windows.
"Sir, we speculate that this person probably died of poisoning. However, whether this is the case or not will only be known after the police officer conducts an investigation!"
"What happened to the eunuchs who stayed with him for those few nights?"
"Everyone has been brought back and is being questioned carefully!" The person investigating this case is led by a young man named Su Yue from Jiazifang. He once followed Jiang Wan to Liaodong and is considered a direct descendant of Jiang Wan.
"It's not the point whether you were poisoned or not. The point is to find out how it was poisoned and who did it!" Jiang Wan waved her hand: "Go and interrogate those guys and tell them that if they can't give any clues about the murderer, Then, the murderers are them!"
"What if they want to do something dirty?" Su Yue asked: "It is impossible for the dead young eunuch to achieve this position without having an enemy in the palace. If they use his enemies to make trouble, they will be afraid for a while. It’s hard to verify!”
"Is there any difference?" Jiang Wan glanced at him coldly: "Are we doing what we are doing to avenge or avenge the dead young prisoner, or are we trying to investigate this case clearly to comfort him? The spirit in heaven?"
Su Yue was a little confused.
"What we want is the murderer. If everyone says this person is the murderer, then he is the murderer!" Jiang Wan snorted: "In the palace, there are countless people who die unjustly every year, quite a few.
!”
"I understand. If I can't find out the name of the murderer, they are the murderers. My subordinates will tell them!"
Su Yue retreated, and another group of people who went to check on the eunuchs of Shang Shan also came back. Like Su Yue, this time it was Wang Desheng from the D-shaped room. The same old man who had followed Guo Jiangwan to Liaodong, and now also
Became the captain of the D-shaped room.
When it comes to employing people, Jiang Wan can definitely be regarded as a nepotist, although he himself does not think so.
The one hundred and twenty-four people who entered the palace were all selected from the twelve rooms of Tingyu Tower. However, their team was all selected from the thirty people who had followed Jiang Wan to Liaodong.
of.
Jiang Wan always believes that only companions who have experienced life and death are trustworthy.
Wang Desheng looked much calmer than Su Yue. When Jiang Wan was talking to Su Yue, Wang Desheng was listening beside him. He didn't step forward until Su Yue stepped back.
"Liu Mouquan, the eunuch of Shangshan Prison, was found drowned in his washbasin in the morning. The murderer was simply unscrupulous. As for the investigation by his subordinates, because our brothers guarded Shangshan Prison, it was almost difficult for outsiders to enter.
It is basically certain that the murderer is someone from Shangshan Prison!"
"How do you find out if you have any clues?"
"Eunuch Liu was tall and obese. After examining the body, there were signs of struggle near the place where he was drowned. Therefore, this person was not knocked unconscious or drunk and pressed into the basin and drowned, but was drowned by someone.
You drowned by holding your head and ignoring his struggles!"
"Well, keep talking!" Jiang Wan became interested, which reminded him of the death of Zheng Bajin, which was his most proud work. In comparison, the murderer's methods were much rougher.
"The murderer must be a tall and strong man, otherwise, he would not be able to control the deceased!"
"What if there are several people?" Jiang Wan pondered for a moment, "If several people start at the same time, they must be able to achieve this effect!"
"If several people took action, their movements would not be so consistent, and the deceased would have time to call for help, but no one heard his call for help all night long. Therefore, the murderer must be an acquaintance of his, and he was caught off guard..."
"The most important thing is that if there are just a few people, there is no need to go to such trouble. Supervisor Shang Shan has a lot of knives. Just kill him and it's over. Why do you need to do a trick like drowning!"
"I know, go ahead and check it out according to your ideas!" Jiang Wan nodded approvingly. Although Wang Deqiang's approach was still rough, it was still much more meticulous than Su Yuelai's.
If according to his instructions, Su Yue was going in the direction of being beaten and hired by cruel officials, then Wang Deqiang really looked like he was investigating the case.
No matter what, he will give these people under him enough opportunities to grow. He is not afraid that they will make mistakes. He is the one who will guide them anyway. He is only afraid that they will be incompetent and unable to get things done.
There are so many people in Tingyu Tower, but there are not many people who can impress him with their own abilities. If no one stands out, then he can only go step by step and slowly cultivate people he can trust.
Talents are rare, but subordinates who are conscientious and capable of taking on their own role are also rare.
