Chapter 18 Not a Eunuch
Gu Huaiqing frowned in disgust, this Shen Yuzhu is really a hungry ghost, he would not forget to have an affair with the maid when he went to get his mother a supper, but what Qiu Lian said was also in line with Shen Yuzhu's usual character.
"After the young master finished his work, he talked to the servant for a while, put the wine back into the cupboard, and left with the supper at three o'clock in the afternoon. From the time the young master came to the kitchen until he left, the servant was with him throughout the process. At the same time, the young master never touched the medicine pot at all. A quarter of an hour after the young master left, the servant heard the cat meowing, ran to the yard to chase the cat away, and left the medicine pot for a while, the murderer should have taken advantage of this opportunity to strike."
Gu Huaiqing said: "Could it be that Shen Yuzhu left and returned?"
Qiu Lian shook her head resolutely, and said, "Think about it, my lord. If a person wanted to murder his father, how could he have been so leisurely as to drink and flirt with the maid just a moment ago? The so-called guilty conscience, such evil thoughts are hidden in his heart. How can you just have fun and have fun?"
"The servant has served the young master for more than four years, and he knows the young master's temperament well. Although the young master is greedy for drinking and lust, and is not very motivated in reading, he is not a treacherous person by nature. It is impossible for him to commit crimes against human relations such as killing his father. , and he doesn't have such deep scheming and tricks. Young master, he was wronged!"
Gu Huaiqing said: "You're so sure it's not Shen Yuzhu, who could it be? That night in the plum grove, a man in a white straight body passed by, and the only man who stayed in the inner courtyard at that time was Shen Yuzhu!"
"This..." Qiu Lian's eyes revealed a puzzled look, "Servant... I guess that the murderer may not be from the Shen residence, but came in from outside. Isn't there an assassin in the capital recently? Lord Wan Du was also assassinated before. , the master has a high position and authority, maybe some political opponents hired assassins to murder the master, it is unknown!"
Gu Huaiqing thought about it, but felt that it was impossible.If it weren't for the people in Shen's residence, how would they know that Shen Junru had coughing up blood and couldn't drink alcohol, so how could he appear at such a precise time to pour wine into the soup?Even if the striker came from the outside, there must be an internal response in the mansion.
Duan Mingchen said: "You know that this case is not trivial, but you deliberately concealed the truth during the interrogation. If you are investigated, you will not be able to escape responsibility."
"My servant is guilty. This servant got up today. She has put her own life and death aside for her frank and personal relationship without any regard for shame. I just ask the two adults to see clearly, find out the real culprit, and return my young master's innocence!"
After Qiulian finished speaking, she lowered her body deeply and knocked her forehead heavily on the ground.
What Qiu Lian said was that she disregarded her own reputation and integrity, and only wanted to clear Shen Yuzhu's grievances.
Gu Huaiqing asked in confusion: "Then Shen Yuzhu is really worth what you pay for him?"
Qiu Lian raised her head and said with a sad smile: "Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is just an ignorant dude, but to the servants, he is the one I am committed to, and also the one I... love deeply. I I have a low status, I never dared to express my love, I also know that he is romantic and passionate, I am just one of his many lovers, but I love him, I am willing to do anything for him, no complaints or regrets!"
What Qiu Lian said was so affectionate that even a tough man like Duan Mingchen couldn't help but be moved by her affection.
Duan Mingchen said: "Because you know your mistakes and made up for your mistakes, and provided a lot of information, it can be regarded as atonement, so you won't be held accountable for concealing it before. Shen Yuzhu is only temporarily under house arrest. If it is true as you said, he is innocent. , that will naturally be released."
Qiulian's beautiful eyes showed a look of pleading: "My lord, can you allow me to visit the young master?"
"No, but you don't have to worry, he'll be fine."
Qiu Lian also knew that she would accept it when she saw it, and kowtowed again: "If that's the case, I will entrust the two adults!"
Qiu Lian knelt on the hard ground for a long time, her knees were already numb, she almost fell when she stood up, but she still held on strong, got up slowly, and staggered away from Fusi of Jinyiwei Town.
"Love to the depths without resentment... What an infatuated girl!" Gu Huaiqing looked at Qiulian's back and murmured.
Duan Mingchen also let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect a person like Shen Yuzhu to have a woman follow him so wholeheartedly, alas..."
Gu Huaiqing could hear the loneliness in Duan Mingchen's words, and couldn't help thinking of the rumors that Duan Mingchen's third marriage failed, and he was still a sad single man, so he couldn't help but joked: "You are so young and promising like Mr. Duan, why don't you have a wife? This time the errand was done well, the emperor Longyan Dayue, maybe I will give you a princess! Well, let me think about it... It seems that His Majesty's younger sister, Princess Qinghe is just about to marry."
Duan Mingchen was shocked: "This is not a joke!"
Although the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf and has a noble status, according to Daqi's practice, in order to prevent foreign relatives from monopolizing power, the princess is not allowed to be an official in the court, regardless of whether it is a civil servant or a general.In other words, once a consort is recruited, the man's official career will be ruined.No matter how beautiful the son-in-law is, it is just a title. Who is willing to sacrifice his official career for this?Therefore, for an ambitious man, it is not a good thing to be favored by the princess!
After Duan Mingchen finished speaking, he saw Gu Huaiqing's half-smile expression, and immediately understood that he was making fun of himself!
After getting along for a few days, Duan Mingchen gradually figured out Gu Huaiqing's temperament, and knew that he could only be caressed, not choked, so he could only smile wryly and twitched the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking.
******
The sky is getting dark, the lights are coming up, and before you know it, it is evening.
Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing walked out of the Zhen Fu Division together, outside the Jin Yiwei was changing shifts.
A group of brocade guards wearing phoenix-winged helmets and silver armor walked up to them, majesticly escorting a dozen or so prisoners dressed as ordinary people, and the leader of the brocade guard was Luo Qin.
As soon as Luo Qin saw Duan Mingchen, he immediately greeted him warmly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Duan!"
Duan Mingchen nodded slightly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with?"
Luo Qin had already seen Gu Huaiqing standing next to Duan Mingchen, but deliberately ignored him, and after greeting Duan Mingchen, he called out as if waking up from a dream: "Oh, Mr. Gu is here too, what a rare visitor! "
Gu Huaiqing was already a little face blind, not to mention there are so many people in Jin Yiwei, how could he remember them all?So he snorted vaguely.
This boy Luo Qin has a baby face, and he is harmless to humans and animals when he smiles, but he is actually very good at holding grudges.He didn't know that Duan Mingchen and Gu Huaiqing had already reconciled, and he was still thinking about Jin Yiwei being dishonored by Gu Huaiqing at Wan Zhen's wedding. Now that Gu Huaiqing was arrogant and ignorant, he wanted to show him off even more. Bring it back.
Luo Qin rolled his eyes, and smiled weakly: "The younger brother is no better than the elder brother. I am ordered to investigate and deal with important cases, so I will only arrest a few fools who want to get rich and go crazy!"
Duan Mingchen saw that what Luo Qin said meant something, so he scrutinized the prisoner carefully.These few people seem to be of all ages, the youngest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the oldest is in his early twenties. These people have one characteristic in common—white face and beardless.
Duan Mingchen immediately guessed who these people were.
As Dongchang became more and more powerful, more and more people felt that being a eunuch was a good way out. Some people often castrated themselves, and then came to the capital, hoping to enter the palace as an eunuch.Among these people, some came from poor families and couldn't make a living, so they took this path; some of them came out of speculative purposes, wanting to make a fortune and become a master.
There are too many people who want to be eunuchs, and not everyone is eligible to be selected. In fact, Daqi has its own mechanism for selecting eunuchs.
So Jin Yiwei had another duty - to catch people who walked into the palace without authorization.
"These fools, they want to be father-in-law instead of being good men! I don't know where they heard the news. They think that the father-in-law in the palace is full of luxury and wealth. They are also at a loss. They are so ruthless that they even ran from the palace to the capital, wanting to sneak into the palace! Ha, don’t take a pee and look in the mirror, they can enter the palace whenever they want, and not everyone can be a father-in-law! Don’t you think so, Eunuch Gu?” Luo Qin said while looking at Gu Huaiqing, the provocation was very obvious.
"None of my business!" Gu Huaiqing's face darkened, and he flung his sleeves and left.
Duan Mingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: So he can still swear!
Luo Qin was irritated by Gu Huaiqing's attitude and words, he spat at his back, and cursed in a low voice: "What are you dragging, dead eunuch!"
Luo Qin scolded very softly, but Gu Huaiqing had excellent ears and could hear clearly. He immediately turned his head and stared at Luo Qin expressionlessly.
Luo Qin was stunned by his cold gaze, but Gu Huaiqing suddenly chuckled and said: "You are wrong, I am not an eunuch. In the palace, only eunuchs with palm prints can be honored as eunuchs, and I am not qualified enough. "
Seeing this, Duan Mingchen hurried over to make a rescue, and sincerely said to Gu Huaiqing: "You don't have to belittle yourself, with your talent, given time, you will definitely become a eunuch!"
This seems to be a compliment, but why is it so awkward to hear?Gu Huaiqing's handsome face was tense, and her thin lips were pursed into a line.
As long as Gu Huaiqing is unhappy, he will try to find fault with others.He turned his head, and his gaze quickly traveled around the group of prisoners.
The group of prisoners secretly raised their heads and looked at Gu Huaiqing with awe and envy. From the conversation between the three of them just now, they already knew that the luxuriously dressed father-in-law in front of them was Gu Huaiqing, the hottest celebrity in Dongchang.
There was only a thin and small man who still bowed his head and shrank at the end.
But Gu Huaiqing fell in love with him for some reason, and pointed at him: "You, the little guy at the end, come out and speak!"
"After the young master finished his work, he talked to the servant for a while, put the wine back into the cupboard, and left with the supper at three o'clock in the afternoon. From the time the young master came to the kitchen until he left, the servant was with him throughout the process. At the same time, the young master never touched the medicine pot at all.
