Chapter 734

Wang Xu looked at Gu Jiao dumbfounded: "what do you want to do for him?"

"Extort a confession." Gu Jiao said.

"A needle can force a confession?" Wang Xu expressed his disbelief.

Gu Jiao didn't tell him that it was a hallucinogen, so as not to make up his brain too much. She thought that Gu Jiao was manipulating the killer's confession.

Gu Jiao looked at the murderer lying on the ground, the tight body gradually relaxed, understand that he has hallucination.

Don't let him go too deep, or he will lose contact with the outside world completely, and he will not be able to hear the voice of the outside world.

Gu Jiao knocked him on the shoulder with a rolling pin, and said solemnly, "if you don't want to suffer more, you should say quickly, who is the killer?"

Gu Jiao had knocked people unconscious until Wang Xu came to hear the news, just to let Wang Xu hear the name of the murderer.

The murderer didn't struggle too much and confessed honestly.

However, the name he gave was not the one Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing had in mind.

"Who is Li Ping?" Gu Jiao asked Wang Xu.

Wang Xu thought: "he should not be talking about Li Ping, but Li pin, the empress of the palace."

In order to confirm his conjecture, Wang Xu asked him several details of Li's instructions.

He is in a state of chaos at the moment, and whatever he remembers in his mind will come out unreservedly.

According to the confessed testimony, it is indeed the concubine li of the harem who ordered him to assassinate shangguanyan.

Why do you want to kill shangguanyan? Li Pin didn't tell him that Li Pin had nothing to do with him. It was an accident that he broke his affair with a palace maid.

In Dayan palace, it is forbidden for eunuchs and maids to eat. It is a capital crime to be found.

Li Pin took this as a threat and asked him to help him get rid of shangguanyan.

"Did Li pin have a festival with shangguanyan?" Gu Jiao asked.

Wang Xu was silent.

Concubine Li has only been in the palace for several years. Shangguanyan was imprisoned in the imperial mausoleum more than ten years ago. There is no intersection between them.

It's impossible to say Festival.

But Wang Xu's silence was not because of this, but... Li pin was very close to a imperial concubine in the back palace.

Gu Jiao looked at Wang Xu: "who?"

Wang Xu said solemnly, "Princess Wan."

WanFei, whose family name is mu, is the daughter of master mu, and is sister to Mu Qingchen's mother.

Li pin was helpless in the back palace. At first, she had a very difficult life. It was only after she got close to the big tree of WanFei that she became Li pin from a small dressing room.

"Did concubine Wan have a festival with shangguanyan?"

"There are festivals." Wang Xu sighed, "that's what happened when Shangguan Yan just brought his eldest grandson back to Shengdu. Princess Wan murmured to her servants in private, saying that who knows if the child was a wild seed picked up from outside, which was heard by shangguanyan, who was still a woman at that time. Shangguanyan slapped concubine Wan, but she was still angry. She knelt down in the imperial garden to make an example. At that time, concubine Wan was not a concubine, she was a concubine Wan, but she was also very shameful. "

"Too much power for women."

"With the support of Xuanyuan queen and Xuanyuan family, she certainly has great power. Besides, she is the only one who comes out directly. Under the emperor and empress, she is the most noble."

It's like Xuanyuan's style.

So shangguanyan is very protective of Xiao Qing.

"It's no use guessing here. Whether Li pin was ordered by concubine Wan or not, we have to ask Li pin."

Wang Xushen thought, "I'm going to the palace."

"Wait a minute." Gu Jiao stops him.

"Well?" Wang Xu was stunned.

Gu Jiao pointed to his arm: "your injury."

"Ah, this one." Wang Xu forgot that he was still injured. Suddenly he was not at ease. He coughed softly and said, "it's not a serious injury."

Having said that, when Gu Jiao came towards him with a first-aid kit, he half pushed his arm.

Gu Jiao took out the cotton swab with Iodophor from the first aid kit, dealt with it for him, and sewed three stitches.

Because of the anesthetic, it doesn't hurt at all.

Wang Xu looked at Gu Jiao with a complicated look, and his heart was moved: "thank you very much."

Gu Jiao held out her hand: "one or two silver."

Wang Xu

……

After Wang Xu gave the money, he took the murderer back to Duwei's house with a black face.

Looking at his far away figure, Gu Changqing asked: "is the murderer him?"

Gu Jiao said: "it's him. I've seen his right hand back. There are crescent shaped scars like shangguanyan said."

Just now shangguanyan wakes up for a while. Gu Jiao takes the opportunity to ask her about the murderer. Shangguanyan doesn't see the murderer clearly, but she grabs the murderer's hand and touches the scar on the back of his hand.

Gu Changqing eyes deep: "unexpectedly is not Han Guifei."

Yes, they all think that the behind the scenes must be the crown prince and his wife.

……

Wang Xu took the murderer back to Duwei's house, put the murderer in prison, and rushed to report to the king.

The monarch asked Zhang Dequan to bring Li pin, but Zhang Dequan only brought back Li Pin's message: "Your Majesty, Li pin has committed suicide."

With the permission of the monarch, Wang Xu borrowed a very experienced Wuzuo from the Ministry of punishment. He carefully examined the body of Li pin and determined that Li Pin committed suicide, rather than being strangled or killed.

The clue that was not easy to get was broken all at once.

No one, we can only start from the remains of Li pin and the people around her.

After a whole night of torture, a little eunuch finally couldn't bear it. She told Li that she had asked him to go to the bank to deposit a silver note, a total of 3000 Liang.

Li Pin's salary is only three hundred Liang a year. She can save enough money only if she doesn't eat or drink for ten years. The problem is that she hasn't been here for ten years. She has spent a lot of money in daily life to help her servants and honor her high ranking mother.

I'm living beyond my means. Where can I have more money?

Concubine Wan, who was close to Li pin, became the first suspect.

Princess Wan cried out that she was wronged, saying that she had not given the money to Li pin. But when the monarch tortured the eunuch who was next to Princess Wan, a little maid told the truth.

The silver was indeed given by Princess Wan. It happened to be three thousand Liang.

"Your Majesty --" Princess Wan knelt on the cold and hard floor. The bright white jade reflected her crying appearance.

The monarch sat on his chair, Wang Xu and Zhang Dequan standing on both sides.

The monarch said in a fierce voice: "do you admit it by yourself, or do I ask people to thoroughly check the account books of your contacts with Mu family?"

Concubine Wan's salary is not low, but she makes a lot of money. Without the filial piety of Mu family, how can she take out three thousand taels of silver in one breath?

Then concubine Wan honestly admitted: "my concubine... Did give my concubine three thousand taels of silver notes... That's because she told my concubine that her father was ill... In urgent need of a sum of money..."

The monarch said in a cold voice, "what disease needs three thousand liang?"

Wan Fei looked aggrieved: "a bowl of bird's nest is one hundred Liang, three thousand Liang, many?"

Princess Wan is the daughter of the Mu family. She has lived a life of luxury since she was a child. What she eats is golden bird's nest. She can buy a pot for one or two silver.

She doesn't understand the sufferings of the people. It's more than enough in Shengdu to treat three thousand Liang, let alone in a small Jiangyang county!

The monarch asked suspiciously, "then why did you deny it?"

Concubine Wan choked and said, "isn't there something wrong with Li pin? My concubine usually gets close to her and worries about being involved, so I quickly get rid of her. "

The monarch looked at her deeply, and the fierce light flashed across his eyes: "concubine Wan, I don't believe it."

……

The next day is not bright, the whole palace knows that concubine Wan ordered Li pin to murder shangguanyan.

Princess Wan was thrown into the cold palace. The monarch wanted to deprive her of her imperial position and demote her to a noble person. It was Princess Xian who came forward to plead for mercy and temporarily saved her position.

Shangguanyan is no longer a woman. She is just a commoner and an attempted murderer. This kind of punishment is very heavy for a imperial concubine.

Princess Wan cried.

The princess asked her to be wronged in the cold palace for a period of time. Later, when the monarch calmed down, she would try to save her.

"Even the queen went in and didn't come out. Can I come out?" At the door of the palace, Princess Wan was out of breath.

The princess gently patted her on the shoulder: "Your Majesty is angry, you give me some time."

Princess Wan seized Princess Wang Xian's hand: "it's not me... It's not me... Sister Xian, you believe me..."

The princess sighed helplessly: "I believe you are useless. Your majesty will believe it."

Zhang Dequan urged: "Princess Wan, please."

Concubine Wan glared at Zhang Dequan: "dog thing!"

Usually, it's WanFei. She's going to the cold palace. She doesn't even call her mother!

A luxury Buguan, carried by four people, slowly passed the entrance of Princess Wan's bedroom. On the Buguan, the elegant Han Guifei raised her hand to the eunuch.

The step stopped.

Han Guifei and Wang Xianfei were the first people to serve the monarch. They all had grandchildren, but they were in their early 40s because of proper maintenance.

She looked at concubine Wan with a smile: "Oh, concubine Wan is going to leave?"

When Wang Xianfei's lust wanes and her love relaxes, she brings the Mu family's daughter into the palace to become her own help. Without WanFei, Wang Xianfei is like a broken arm.

WanFei glared at her angrily, stepped forward, pointed to Han Guifei and said, "you must have done it! You set me up! You killed Li Pin! It's you! It's all you

Han raised her chin and laughed like a sneer: "it's better for Princess wan to go to your majesty and say this. If your majesty also thinks that it's our palace, we don't need your Majesty's command. We will take our luggage and go to the cold palace to accompany you."

"You

Concubine Wang Xian shook her head at concubine Wan and motioned her to calm down.

Han Guifei dusted the handkerchief in Shan's hand, looked forward and said, "take more quilts. It's said that it's cold in the cold palace."

WanFei was almost angry, but now it's useless to be angry. She was killed by this Korean bitch!

Zhang Dequan urged again.

"Please wait for Mr. Zhang." Princess Wang Xian said politely, and asked the maid in waiting to give Zhang Dequan a bag of gold.

Zhang Dequan took it and whispered, "it's a quarter of an hour. It can't be any later. The slave has to go to reply to your majesty."

The princess nodded, and Haosheng comforted Princess Wan for a while.

Princess Wan wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with red eyes: "sister Xian, you help me take care of the sixth prince. That bitch is cruel. She dares to harm me like this. I'm afraid she will do harm to the sixth prince."

The sixth prince, the only minor prince in the harem, is the youngest son of the monarch.

The princess took her hand and said earnestly, "I know. I will take him to Xianfu palace. No one will have a chance to hurt him. Listen to me. Don't lose your temper when you go to the cold palace. "

Princess Wan was taken away by Zhang Dequan.

Princess Wang Xian sent her eunuch to the Imperial Academy to pick up the sixth prince from school.

When she went back to her bedroom, she met Han Guifei, who was enjoying flowers in the imperial garden.

Wang Xianfei looked at Han Guifei coldly and said, "you really went too far this time."

Han Guifei took a deep look at her and sneered: "Oh."

……

At dawn, the Imperial Palace also got the news that Princess Wan had been disposed of.

Shangguanyan is not awake yet.

In the room, three people sit opposite each other, Xiao Heng, Gu Jiao and Gu Changqing.

"I didn't expect that concubine Wan would carry the pot." Gu Jiao said, "it's really the Han family's way of doing things."

They all like to make people carry the pot.

"The opponent is very strong." Gu Changqing said that it's not the power of force, but the power of the city and the plot.

It's not terrible to have such a person in a family. If everyone's brain is so smart, it's no wonder that he can stay in the position of the first family.

"That's good." Xiao Heng said.

There was no fear in his heart. On the contrary, there was a strange contest and desire for power in his blood.

This is probably Gu Jiao's mood when she saw the master.

Just, Gu Jiao is pure contest, he is more black, he wants to eat black, bone does not vomit that kind.

The Han family and the Wang family are the two biggest fish. If the Han family wants to eat all the fish, let it eat well.

None of the top ten aristocratic families is innocent. At that time, Xuanyuan family was exterminated and tainv was persecuted. Every aristocratic family was stabbed.

He has no sympathy for WanFei.

As in those days, no one sympathizes with Xuanyuan Hanyan, who was thrown into the cold palace.

"The Han family is a good knife." Xiao Heng dropped his eyes and rubbed the blade in his hand. "Next, let's make this knife sharper."
