Pet official

Ruan Yunqing was taken aback, what happened?What happened?

Seeing that Xiao Pei was shaking violently, he hurriedly helped him to sit on the edge of the bed, poured another bowl of tea, and handed it to Xiao Pei, asking him to drink first and calm down before speaking.

Little Pei couldn't care less about drinking water, he pushed away the tea bowl, pulled Ruan Yunqing and walked out, "Follow me quickly, something happened."

He only said this, and then he pulled Ruan Yunqing and ran towards the back room.

Ruan Yunqing asked several times, but Xiao Pei just shook his head and refused to say anything more.He gritted his teeth tightly, his face was pale, his eye circles were red, and tears were rolling in his eye sockets. Obviously he was trying his best to suppress the tears so as not to burst out.

Ruan Yunqing also became anxious. He went through all the possibilities in his mind, but he still couldn't figure it out.It stands to reason that the current Xiao Pei, like him, is Zheng Changchun's personal entourage, serving the queen all day long, and his status in the palace is already much higher than that of ordinary servants, no one should bully him anymore .Ruan Yunqing really couldn't think of what would cause Xiao Pei's expression to change suddenly, and he came to him in a panic.

The more he thought about it, the more strange it became, and Ruan Yunqing became more and more uneasy. He quickened his pace, followed Xiao Pei, and ran to the front of the back room as if flying.

The layout of the rear cover room is roughly the same as that of the front two-story courtyard. Except for the storehouse, handyman’s room and stewards’ duty room, the rest of the place is responsible for handling some trivial work in Likun Palace. It is roughly divided into three courtyards, more than ten Three sets of rooms.

The fragrance room is among them.As soon as Ruan Yunqing arrived at the back room, he guessed in his heart that the only person who could make Xiao Pei panic so much was Yuan Youjiang, the eunuch who lived in the fragrance room and Xiao Pei's master.

Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Pei entered the back room, he pulled Ruan Yunqing straight to the direction of the fragrance room.

Ruan Yunqing and Xiao Pei have known each other for so long, and this is the first time they entered the fragrance room.As soon as I entered the room, I was dizzy from all kinds of strange smells. After getting used to it for a while, I was able to catch my breath.

No matter how good something is, too much is a burden.No matter how good the fragrance of flowers is, I can't smell them tightly under my nose.In the imperial palace, the most indispensable thing is good things. Empress Wei loves to play with these spices when she has nothing to do. Therefore, the spice room is full of all kinds of spices, with all kinds of aromas and smells. They were all piled up in one place, and people outside would have to get a headache from the room filled with hundreds of scents.

The two of them couldn't care less about talking about anything else, Xiao Pei was anxious and pulled Ruan Yunqing into the room as soon as he entered the room.He walked into the inner room in three steps at a time, opened the door, pointed in, and tears immediately fell down: "Yunqing, you, look, master, master is dead..."

Ruan Yunqing took a look in and froze on the spot in fright.I saw a dead body hanging on the high beam, it was Xiao Pei's master, Yuan Youjiang.

Yuan Youjiang had been dead for a long time, and his body was stiff. He hung upright on the beam, and when the cold wind came in from the door, his whole body swayed from side to side.

Xiao Pei cried so much that he couldn't stand still. As soon as he entered the fragrance room today, he saw the master hanging on the beam. He was so frightened that he forgot everything, and he didn't cry loudly. Run to Ruan Yunqing.The sadness along the way was unbearable, but he could still bear it. When he saw the master's body again at this time, the grief in his heart could no longer be suppressed.

Tears rolled down, Xiao Pei hugged Ruan Yunqing, choked up crying, "Master, why is he so upset? It's all my fault. I know that he has been restless recently and often has nightmares, so why did you tell him to move out yesterday?" If I had known about today's incident, I would never have said such a thing... Woohoo... I was the one who killed Master..."

Ruan Yunqing finally regained his strength. He put his arms around Xiao Pei and comforted him for a long time, until he gradually stopped crying, and then asked: "You said your master committed suicide?"

Xiao Pei choked twice, and wondered: "What else can I do if I don't commit suicide? You have met my master a few times, so you should know what he is like. He has a gentle temperament and never makes enemies. Apart from developing spices in the house every day, Even when he went to the Queen's bedroom to add incense to the censer, except when he was ordered to go out for errands, the rest of the time he hardly even came out of the door of the incense room, and he never had any grudges with anyone, so how could others harm him?"

What Xiao Pei said was reasonable, Ruan Yunqing nodded.He remembered how gentle and free-spirited Yuan Youjiang was before he was alive, laughing before speaking, always making people happy.It is really hard to imagine such a person, someone would deliberately harm him.

Carefully avoiding the corpse on the top of the head, Ruan Yunqing walked around the room.This room is Yuan Youjiang's bedroom, with simple furnishings, except for a bed and a table, there is nothing else.As soon as I entered the door, there was a stool that had been kicked over. Except for this place, the rest of the place was very clean and tidy. It seemed that there was no trace of being overturned.

In this way, Yuan Youjiang may have really committed suicide.

Ruan Yunqing asked Xiao Pei again: "Does your master live alone? Besides you, who else does he have contact with on weekdays?"

"The master lives alone, and there are only me and the master in the fragrance room. I was transferred to the back of the queen's bedroom, and the master did not manage important people with the king. He always loves to be clean, saying that he can do it alone. Therefore, no more staff were added to the fragrance department."

After a pause, Xiao Pei hesitated to speak, Ruan Yunqing hurriedly asked him what was wrong, Xiao Pei thought for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth, "It's nothing important..."

He wiped away his tears and asked Ruan Yunqing, "What's the matter? You keep asking, do you see something is wrong?"

Ruan Yunqing shook her head: "No, this place is very clean."

It's because it's so clean, it's so different from the mess outside, it really doesn't look like two places where the same person lives.

It is difficult to change a person's living habits. The two rooms outside the perfumery office are so chaotic that there is nowhere to go. There is a bag of spices in the east and a medicine bowl in the west. Yuan Youjiang can be seen in the clutter. It should be very casual, and the arrangement of things depends on how convenient it is for oneself to use, and it doesn't seem like a person who will organize household items carefully.

That being the case, his bedroom is suspiciously clean. Not only are all kinds of books arranged neatly, but even the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on the table seem to have been specially cleaned, and the water bowl has been rinsed clean. After changing the clean water, all kinds of brushes were also arranged in order of size, as if they were nervous, and even the carvings on the pen holders were all facing the outside.

This huge contrast is really strange. Is it because this person is about to die, that's why he thought of tidying up his house on the spur of the moment?

No matter how you think about it, it's too weird.

Ruan Yunqing inevitably felt a little more confused, he hurriedly asked Xiao Pei if he alarmed others?

"No." Xiao Pei shook his head, "I locked the door when I saw the master, and ran to you right away. I thought you had an idea, so I wanted you to come over and help me with an idea. What shall we do next?"

Ruan Yunqing looked up at the corpse and told Xiao Pei to wait here, he went to the outer room and played the piccolo, after a while there was a gust of wind at the door, Mo Zheng flew into the room from outside.

Ruan Yunqing explained: "Guard Mo, today's incident happened suddenly, so I trouble you to show up in the daylight. How is it? Didn't anyone see it?"

Mo Zheng smiled and said: "It's okay. With my skill, there is no one in this palace except Po Jun..."

Mo Zheng stopped before he finished speaking, he thought of the assassin who assassinated Xiao Changfu the day before yesterday, that person's lightness kung fu and martial arts were definitely superior to his and Po Jun's, now that he said this again, he really had to weigh it.

"What's the matter? Looking for me in such a hurry?"

Ruan Yunqing hurriedly led Mo Zheng into the house, pointed to the beams, and said softly: "I want to ask Guard Mo to see if this person committed suicide or was killed?"

Mo Zheng hurried in with Ruan Yunqing and went straight to the dead body on the beam.

Xiao Pei cried with tears in his eyes, and suddenly saw Mo Zheng walking in, he jumped up in fright, hid behind Ruan Yunqing, and asked cautiously: "Yunqing, what's the matter? Who is this person?"

Ruan Yunqing patted Xiao Pei's arm, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is the benefactor who helped us last time. This time I invited him here to see for us. How did your master die?"

Xiao Pei's eyes widened. He was stunned for a moment, followed by a lunge and ran to Yuan Youjiang's body, stretched his arms, and shouted sharply: "How else could he die? Didn't you all see it? Master is it?" He committed suicide! You are not allowed to touch him! No one is allowed to touch him!"

Xiao Pei's eyes were red, his cheeks were flushed with excitement, his lips trembled, and his limbs trembled a little. He was completely different from the usual docile and shy person who dared not speak loudly.

"Master's death is pitiful enough, you still have to torment him, I don't obey... woo... It's all my fault, if I don't say move away, Master won't die..."

His reaction was so intense, it was beyond Ruan Yunqing's expectation.Ruan Yunqing was afraid that he might misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "What we don't do is to examine your master's body to see if there is any possibility of him being killed."

"Really?"

After Ruan Yunqing promised again and again, little Pei gradually stopped crying.

Xiao Pei is 14 years old this year, and his stature is very close to that of an adult man, and his strength is much stronger than Ruan Yunqing's. He asked Ruan Yunqing to step aside, and together with Mo Zheng, he stepped on a stool and lifted Yuan Youjiang's body It was untied from the rope loop and laid flat on the bed.

Mo Zheng went over to check, turned Yuan Youjiang's neck, first looked at the strangle marks on his neck, then opened his lips, ears and nose to see if he had signs of poisoning, and finally untied the clothes on his chest, Look at his left and right ribs, chest, back, etc., for internal injuries and bruises.

After the inspection was over, Mo Zheng frowned and remained silent, while Xiao Pei kept asking: "How is it?"

Mo Zheng was silent for a long time before he murmured and sighed, "It's so strange."

I can't say it's strange, but I feel that this person's body is surprisingly clean, not to mention bruises and poisoning, even Yuan Youjiang's body has been washed clean, not even a little dirt can be seen.

Mo Zheng checked for a long time, but he didn't find any scars on Yuan Youjiang's body. There was only one strangulation mark on his neck, and it wasn't hung on the beam after his death. Looking at him, the clothes were bright and his hair was well combed Neat and tidy, the expression on his face didn't look too ferocious or terrifying.

It was as if this person really had nothing to love in life, so he took a bath in fragrant soup, washed himself clean, and then went to die peacefully.

But it just feels awkward.Mo Zheng has seen a lot of dead people, whether he wanted to die or was killed by others, he would inevitably struggle before death. The last breath of a person is quite difficult to swallow, but why did this Yuan Youjiang commit suicide by hanging himself? , but there will be such a peaceful and peaceful demeanor?

Unwilling to give up, Mo Zheng went forward to check again carefully, and the result was still the same as last time. He sighed, and rearranged Yuan Youjiang's clothes as before. He only blamed himself for worrying too much. Things got complicated.

He said to Ruan Yunqing: "This man did commit suicide."

After Ruan Yunqing heard this, she still couldn't believe it.He lay down in front of the corpse to look carefully, turned around twice, and suddenly his eyes widened.

Ruan Yunqing pushed off Yuan Youjiang's collar, and called Mo Zheng, "Guard Mo, look at Master Yuan's clothes, are they worn in the wrong direction?"
