Warm fragrance cloud around

Cheng Jiangyun only said that he found blood under Mingrui's nails. The murderer must have been scratched by her. We need to search for the person with the scar on his arm. I hope that all the masters and slaves in the harem can cooperate in handling the case.

He did arrange for people to search on the surface, but secretly led Lin Junnuan to find the source of the ointment smell.

There are several kinds of ointment that can reduce putrefaction and build muscle. According to imperial physicians, another kind of ointment, Yuhong, is most commonly used in the harem. The smell is quite different from Shenyingbaiyu ointment, so the preliminary screening is still reliable.

With the emperor's strict order, almost no one dared not to cooperate with each other on the surface, but there were also many people who tried their best to do something secretly.The manipulative action is not necessarily the murderer deliberately confusing the public, and some people use this search to frame others and exclude dissidents.

Smashed wounds, scratches, nail scratches, knife cuts, and hot water burns were just waiting for the inspection period, and various methods emerged one after another. Lin Junnuan actually experienced it in this way. Harem intrigue.Fortunately, she doesn't need to enter the palace, she is simply cruel.

Fortunately, their purpose was not to examine the scars, otherwise they might really be fooled and delayed.

After checking one by one, ten people with similar scratches on their arms were left behind as a cover-up. Among them, those with low status were brought back to Dali Temple directly, and those with high status had to act under the supervision of Dali Temple in the past few days.

Because they were worried that they would not be able to come back once they were taken away, some people even ignored the etiquette of the harem and began to cry for injustice.

"My lord, you are wronged, the servant was scratched by a cat!"

"I was poked by a hairpin, I'm wronged!"

"It's XX whore, she deliberately scratched and framed me!"

"Good XX, I will never let you go!"

Some people who were not caught but also suffered other injuries were full of fear and began to denounce the culprit who caused their injuries.The good harem almost became a vegetable market.

Cheng Jiangyun ignored these people who complained about injustice, and was taken away with their mouths covered. After the case is resolved, if they are proved to be innocent, they should be given some compensation.And some people who claim to have status will not lose their composure at this time.

Lin Junnuan had a hunch that after this turmoil was over, many pairs of plastic sisters and brothers might show up, tsk tsk.

But in fact, with the smell of the ointment, they really targeted the other five people.

Anji, the young eunuch of Kunning Palace, had been burned on the back of his left hand, leaving behind the smell of Shenying Baiyu paste.

Ming Rong, the maid in the Little Princess Palace, had a plaster on her buttocks and smelled of plaster because she was spanked. At the same time, there was a rotten scar on her neck, which also smelled of plaster.

In the Yonghe Palace where Concubine De lived, the little maid Xiuzhu smelled of ointment.

Zhen Jieyu of Wanqingdian had an injury behind her ear, leaving behind the smell of plaster.

Yuqin, a female official of the Shangyi Bureau, also smells of ointment.

These five people have become the focus of suspicion.Dali Temple secretly approached and investigated them on the grounds of investigating the ten people who had found the scars before.

Such an investigation is effective, but no, they discovered unusual behaviors of a few people.

**

In the dark and windy place at night, when sneaking around.

When the night slowly enveloped this gorgeous and solemn palace, some actions that could not be seen in the light began to surface.

A pair of slightly feminine hands opened the door of an uninhabited side hall, and the eyes of the people inside the door lit up, and they came out happily.

"You are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"I've been delayed by something, I hope my aunt will forgive me."

Inside the hall are the young eunuch Anji and the female official Yuqin of the Shangyi Bureau.Dali Temple sent people to watch them secretly, and found that the two of them had sent out a signal while they were having a secret meeting at night. Cheng Jiangyun heard the signal, and soon rushed over with Lin Junnuan.

"Are they still in there?"

"Yes."

"What did you say?"

"This one……"

The subordinates who stayed outside the hall to watch had a strange expression on their faces, "Why don't you listen to me yourself, my lord."

What the hell, Cheng Jiangyun narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, and pulled Lin Junnuan briskly up a big tree outside the hall. The two leaned side by side on the tree, peeping into the hall calmly.

The two people in the hall were a little closer, and their posture seemed very intimate. Because they were worried about being discovered, they lowered their voices, but it didn't prevent them from hearing.

Yuqin almost touched Anji's body, "Is your burn better?"

"Thanks to Auntie's wound medicine, he is almost healed."

"I was almost scared to death today. If you are arrested by Dali Temple, what will I do?"

After Yuqin finished speaking, she reached out and touched Anji's earlobe, "If I don't see you for a day, I won't think about eating or drinking."

"Thank you for your love, Auntie, why not me."

Yuqin was so moved that she murmured his name, and the two embraced tightly.

"Angie!"

"aunt!"

The scene that follows is a bit inappropriate.

The two inside are at ease, and the people outside are miserable.

Cheng Jiangyun was leaning on the top of a big tree branch, with his cherished fiancée beside him, afraid of being discovered by the people inside, he did not dare to go down the tree, his whole face was so dark that ink dripped out.

Lin Junnuan was not much better either, he never expected to see such an exciting scene with his own eyes, he was fine alone, and there was a tall and burly man standing beside him, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet together.

They just want to investigate the case properly, and are not interested in breaking other people's personal affairs! !No matter how the people in Dali Temple searched, it's just... It's not proper.

Cheng Jiangyun had already begun to think about how to legally dismantle the subordinate outside. Seeing that the two inside were about to lose control, he couldn't control it too much. He pulled Lin Junnuan down the tree with a dark face, and even made a special After a little movement, remind the two people inside, deep palace forbidden area, please respect yourself! !

The subordinate was still guarding in the dark, Cheng Jiangyun gave him a fierce look of death, and pulled Lin Junnuan away from this "ominous" place quickly, leaving a sentence to pronounce his fate.

"you are dead."

The subordinates tilted their heads in confusion, everyone is a man, why are so many poor and particular, the adults are lonely.

**

Lin Junnuan and Lin Junnuan left the side hall and came to a palace with a lot of people.

The scene just now was really embarrassing. Originally, she planned to stay up all night and seize the time to find the murderer, but now she began to hesitate, not knowing what would happen next, otherwise she should go home first.

Cheng Jiangyun seemed to see through her thoughts, and couldn't bear to let her stay up with him all night, "It's late at night, I'll arrange someone to take you back."

"Ah."

At this moment, another signal came from another place, and the direction was Defei's Yonghe Palace.

Cheng Jiangyun planned to arrange for her before going there, Lin Junnuan sighed, "Let's go together."

Even if she was asked to go back at this time, she would scratch her ears and cheeks with curiosity, and would not be able to rest well at all.

Sure enough, ghosts and monsters came out at night, and the situation in the Yonghe Palace was much more ferocious, and it was another murder.

The murderer led the victim to the pool, ready to drown her and push her into the water. Fortunately, she was discovered in time and the murderer failed.

The murderer was a young eunuch, and the victim was Xiuzhu from Yonghe Palace.

The people from Dali Temple captured both of them and detained them separately. They waited for Cheng Jiangyun, who was in charge, to come to question them.

The murderer was caught on the spot, his face was pale with shock, and he lowered his head in despair.

"Tell me, who ordered the murder?" Cheng Jiangyun didn't give him a chance to rest, and immediately began to torture him, directly asking the instigator behind the scenes.

It is almost certain that Xiuzhu is the murderer of Mingrui, and this time it is obviously to silence him. Such a series of conspiracies is definitely not something that a small eunuch can plan, and there must be black hands behind the scenes.

But the little eunuch still seemed to hold the hope of being rescued, and his tone was still strict, "No one instructed me, I just wanted to kill her!"

"Personal grievances? How did Xiuzhu offend you?"

"She, she always squeezes me out, laughs at me, and makes people bully me! She deserves to die!"

"I, I almost killed her, it's all your fault for meddling in your own business!"

The little eunuch was not very courageous, so he deliberately roared loudly to strengthen his courage, but his body was actually trembling all the time, and his eyes were slightly dodged.

Cheng Jiangyun kicked the stool he was sitting on so hard that he almost fell down in fright.

"Be honest, who ordered you?!"

Lin Junnuan intentionally yelled bad ideas from the side, "Who else could it be? Find out if it's his master."

"No, no! It has nothing to do with the master! I just can't understand her, I hate her to death!"

The little eunuch is also in the palace of the concubine De, he is called Xiao Xizi, he has only been in the palace for a few years, because he is young, thin and short, he is often bullied by others.According to the investigation, Xiuzhu did bully him the most.

Lin Junnuan's eyes flickered, De Fei seemed to come from Shen Shangshu's residence.My surname is Shen.

After mentioning Concubine De, Xiao Xizi became startled and repeated back and forth that the murder was her own idea. Cheng Jiangyun decided to give him a cold treatment first, and came to the room where Xiuzhu was detained.

The people from Dali Temple did not attack until after Xiaoxizi started to attack. At that time, Xiuzhu had already been submerged several times by him in the water, and she was overly frightened, and she still hasn't recovered yet.

This time it was Lin Junnuan who was asking the question, without blinking.

"Xiao Xizi has already recruited all of them, so you should be quick to explain, you are the one who killed Mingrui."

Xiuzhu stared blankly and didn't respond.

"Still planning to hide it for the master? She's going to kill you to silence her, she doesn't deserve your loyalty."

Xiuzhu still didn't make a sound.

"Maybe you can spare your life by being honest. We have a lot of evidence in our hands. We just want to give you another chance."

Xiuzhu finally came back to her senses, and said with difficulty, "Really, will you spare my life?"

"Of course, as long as you can successfully catch the mastermind behind the scenes, not only will your life be spared, but you will also be sent out of the palace safely. If you perform well, you will even be given a sum of money that will not worry about food and clothing in the future. You have to think about it carefully. .”

"I, I said, I said everything!" Xiuzhu choked on the water, her voice was very hoarse, "Since she won't let me go, I won't let her have a better time!"

There is a reason why the black hand behind the scenes did not hesitate to kill Xiuzhu while Dali Temple was still present. She has too much information, and if she accidentally reveals her feet, her success will fall short.

In contrast, Xiao Xizi is a poor little guy who doesn't know anything. Someone deliberately used his hatred for Xiuzhu to induce him to kill Xiuzhu.

If Xiaoxizi succeeded this time, even if he was finally found out, the whole case might really end in a personal grievance. Fortunately, Dali Temple locked Xiuzhu and rescued her in time.
