Did he think he was the only one who could use those hard-to-get tactics?
Si Yiluo swallowed and called Miao Cong to stop.
"After Song Yehe comes back, let him come to see me no matter what time it is."
In the study room of Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Si Yiluo pursed her lips and looked at Zhou Zhan and Shen Moran who were sitting opposite her. The couple finally came to see her together. She didn't have to go twice to tell them separately, which saved time and effort. The key is that there are more people, and Shen Moran's Although the idea is bad, it is very useful.
"We are not outsiders, so I will get straight to the point."
Si Yiluo paused and asked, "How did His Highness and Gui Lao know each other, and all the information about Gui Lao."
Zhou Zhan and Shen Moran reached an agreement and did not hide it at this time.
"When I was ten years old, my uncle came back from the northwest. I went out of the palace to meet him and met him by chance outside the city. My mother owned a pharmacy in her name and was in the medicinal business, so I provided him with a secluded place in the name of a medicinal merchant. , providing medicinal materials for him to study medical skills."
"My uncle sent someone to inquire about his family background. He seemed to have a wife who had a daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter died in infancy and the wife separated from him and disappeared. I don't know more about it."
"Have you never met his wife? Where is his daughter?"
Zhou Zhan shook his head.
Shen Moran asked: "Aluo, do you suspect something?"
Si Yiluo responded: "With Gui Lao's ability, it is not difficult to escape. I have been to his residence. The furnishings in the house are very normal, and the things in the bottles and jars are also in good order. It can be seen that he was in good condition at that time. No resistance."
"To be able to make a hidden master obey obediently means that the other person has something he wants, or someone he wants to see."
Zhou Zhan suddenly said: "He has been studying a kind of poison and the antidote for that poison."
"That's right." Shen Moran speculated, "Maybe his daughter was poisoned by some kind of poison and he couldn't save it, so he developed a knot in his heart and then devoted himself to research. And because his wife hated him, she followed him Break up, and then be controlled by some people to blackmail Gui Lao, and Gui Lao is willing to do things for them for the sake of his wife!"
Zhou Zhan seemed to have just met the woman next to him, and frowned: "How do you know?"
Shen Moran said innocently: "It's all said in the drama, and the storytellers in the teahouse often talk about it, I guess."
Si Yiluo raised his forehead and said, "I'm not sure what she said might be the truth."
Although the story is old-fashioned, people live in the same way in the world. If the story changes the protagonist, it will be a new story.
People like her and Zhou Zhan, who are old-fashioned, can't think of this. She relies on evidence when doing things. There is no evidence. Even if she saw Wei Heyan standing on the city wall in her previous life, she didn't dare to say that he won in the end because she didn't see it. , and there is no way to confirm it across time and space.
Zhou Zhan regards teahouse storytelling as a pastime. How can the things he made up be reality?
Only Shen Moran was thinking outside the box.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now." Si Yiluo asked the next question, "I have asked my subordinates to check the crossbow arrows. There is no record of this batch of arrows in the records of the Ministry of Works, and there is no record in the arsenal of the Ministry of War. The origin of this arrow cannot be traced, but it is indeed the casting process of the Ministry of Industry."
"Then the problem lies with the Ministry of Works. The lower official has sent people to the Ministry of Works to verify. This arrow is indeed made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works. The craftsman in charge said that this batch of arrows was specially cast for Habayashi Zuowei. The emperor For use during autumn hunting, a total of one thousand crossbow arrows of this size have been made. They have been distributed to the Yulin Left Guards. In the past few days, the Yulin Left Guards have been clearing the hunting ground, and there is loss every day."
"So a crossbow arrow means nothing. Unfortunately, the fired crossbow was not found. There were no traces of transportation at the scene. It was most likely burned."
Shen Moran reminded: "The affairs of the Ministry of Industry are in charge of Mr. Bao Ge, and Zhou Yu is Mr. Bao Ge's son-in-law. Is it possible that the test during the day was under the direction of Mr. Bao Ge?"
Si Yiluo still said what she said, she pays attention to evidence when doing things and cannot take everything at face value.
Zhou Zhan felt that both Bo'an and Bao Fan were possible.
Shen Panxing is also questionable. After all, although he has the title of Prime Minister, in essence, he and the other two are in the cabinet. He can afford to call him the cabinet elder.
Shen Moran believed that Shen Panxing would not get involved.
"Shen Panxing is greedy for power. He has now reached a position where one person is inferior to ten thousand people. There is no benefit in following King Min's party to oppose him. He never engages in loss-making business."
"Moreover, he is selfish and cold, and no one can threaten him."
He doesn't even care about the life and death of his wife and children.
"However, there is no guarantee that he will have convulsions." Shen Moran suggested, "I can give him a try."
Zhou Zhan and Si Yiluo looked at her at the same time.
She smiled slightly and said, "Using Jin Yiwei's name to tell him everything, the imperial court has recently traced King Cha Min's party to the Ministry of Works."
"He and Bao Fan have never dealt with each other. If he had a ulterior motive, he would add insult to injury and pin Bao Fan to death on the charge of King Min's party. If he had no ulterior motives, his methods would not be very strong. After all, he This person is famous for being cautious and cautious. He always thinks twice about everything before taking a step forward, and always has some worries."
"This is slow to take effect, but there is a faster way. Give him ecstasy, throw him in jail for interrogation, and tell him that he is no longer a high-ranking prime minister, and he will definitely have to do something."
What he cares most about is his position of power, so using his weaknesses to attack him is very damaging.
Zhou Zhan was a little surprised.
"But Prime Minister Shen is the princess's father after all..."
Wouldn't it be nice to treat your father-in-law like this?
Will she use the same tactics against him as a husband in the future?
Shen Moran got carried away for a moment and showed his flaws. She did not explain, but said with a smile: "I am thinking about His Highness..."
Zhou Zhan has always known that she is different from what she looks like on the outside. The more innocent and kind she pretends to be on the outside, the more... she is mean on the inside.
Si Yiluo came to the rescue and said: "Let's use the first plan. After all, Prime Minister Shen is the prime minister. If he is imprisoned for no reason, the officials will probably do more than just impeach me."
"You can do it secretly. It will make him feel like he was in a dream."
Si Yiluo stared at her.
"Do you think Wei Heyan is a vegetarian?"
However, Wei Heyan might not support her method. If it were him, he would have arrested all three people and interrogated them one by one.
He just said tonight that he would cooperate with her in investigating the case...
"There is no problem with Ms. Liang's background for the time being."
Asking Si Yiluo to investigate a female official was a bit overkill. Shen Moran had already guessed this result. After all, Wei Heyan's home court was in the harem, and she couldn't get involved.
"It doesn't matter. I can play a game to see who she will pass the news to. But after finishing this game, she has no need to live."
Shen Moran was seeking Zhou Zhan's opinion. Ms. Liang had a palace name on her head. Once she was dealt with, Emperor Yao would definitely be dissatisfied and his suspicion of them would deepen.
Is it worth facing such consequences for a female officer?
Zhou Zhan doesn't care about Ms. Liang's life or death, but now is not the time to be in the limelight.
"Let me do the game." Zhou Zhan said, "You don't need to give her too much information. Just forge a letter from my uncle to me."
