kingly way

Chapter 113 Chapter 113

"Madam Qu's death happened in the palace, if this matter gets out, it will definitely affect the King's prestige.

Yu Wenwan looked at Jin Yuanhong and said;
"Wan'er means that this matter should be left as it is? This matter must be investigated and found out." Jin Yuanhong asked;

"Dare to kill someone in the palace, this person must be very important, this matter can't be ignored, who is the murderer? What is the murderer's purpose? Will he threaten you, the king? To the king." Yu Wenwan said;

"Well, the widow will order the chief minister Kou Guzhenwei to try the case." Jin Yuanhong said;

"Master Gu has investigated countless cases, so he is suitable for this position, but this matter should not be investigated clearly, in case the news leaks and affects Wang Wei, the king. After all, the case happened in the palace." Yu Wenwan said;

Yu Wenwan was eager for Jin Yuanhong to appoint Gu Zhenwei to investigate this matter. Gu Guzhen's promotion along the way was inseparable from Yu Wenwan's credit, and he would ask Yu Wenwan for advice on any unclear points in his case.

Gu Zhenwei is not only grateful for Yu Wenwan's promotion, but also admires this lady. He always asks Mrs. Yu for advice on cases that are unclear, and many cases will be solved easily. By no means mortal.

……

"Dragonflies fly low, so you need to wear a bamboo hat; loaches spit bubbles, and rain is coming; tortoises are sweating, and you go out with an umbrella; ants move, and the rain is blooming; fish jump out of the water, and the eaves are drooping; dark clouds in the northwest, thunderstorms are coming; there is no rain in the valley. , there is no rice in the valley; there is a lot of rain in the valley, and there is a lot of rice in the valley. The dragonfly is flying so low, it seems that another storm is coming, come on! The storm, wash away the dust in this world, and give me peace of mind. "

Yu Wenwan was in the water pavilion, watching a few dragonflies flying very low, she couldn't help but read in a low voice, she felt that the world was too unfair to her, all she felt was pain;
She hates, she hates God, she hates everyone who hurts her, hates...

"Ma'am, Master Sikou Gu please see me."

Yong Liu's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Send him to the living room."

Yu Wenwan came to her senses from thousands of thoughts.

Yong Liu responded and walked out.

Yu Wenwan glanced at the dragonfly again, then looked up at the sky, then slowly got up and walked to the living room;

Gu Zhenwei was already waiting for her in the living room.

"My minister kowtowed to see his wife."

Seeing Yu Wenwan walking in, Gu Guwei immediately bowed to salute his great benefactor;
"Master Gu is here today because of Mrs. Qu's death?!"

Yu Wenwan sat down on the chair in the middle of the living room and asked.

"Return to Mrs., Wei Chen is here for Mrs. Qu's affairs." Gu Zhenwei immediately replied;
"Then what does Mr. Gu think about Mrs. Qu's death?" Yu Wenwan asked;

"Wei Chen feels that Mrs. Qu has been transferred from Nanqiu Palace to Yunding Palace, which means that the king has not punished her. If she had suicidal thoughts, she would have committed suicide in Nanqiu Palace. I feel that she chose to be here at this time. Suicide is unreasonable." Gu Zhenwei replied;
"Then what evidence does Master Gu have to prove that Mrs. Qu committed suicide instead of suicide?" Yu Wenwan asked with a slight smile;
"Well, I'm here to consult Madam about this matter. Master Qu's death is related to the reputation of the royal palace, and Mrs. Qu is a dignified person, so I dare not get close to him." Gu Zhenwei said;

"How can you solve the case if you don't dare to conduct a close inspection? How could Mr. Gu forget this simple truth?"

Yu Wenwan clearly knew that Gu Guzhen's small case was handled by his staff and guards, and the other major cases were solved under her guidance. This time the case was related to the royal family, how could he not come to her Woolen cloth;
"Wei Chen has always relied on his wife's training and promotion, and his kindness can never be repaid. This time I came here to ask my wife for advice." Gu Zhenwei said with his head down.

"Well, when I inspected Mrs. Qu, I found that her strangle marks were in the middle of her neck and the direction was backward." Yu Wenwan said;

"This means that she was strangled to death from behind. Who wants to kill Mrs. Qu?!"

Gu Zhenwei said suspiciously, as if he was talking to Yu Wenwan, or talking to himself;

He knew that someone who could kill someone in the palace was definitely not an ordinary person. Even if he really found out who was behind the scenes, Gu Guwei might not be able to deal with it. He knew this very well.

Therefore, when Gu Guwei approached Yu Wenwan, one of the purposes was to get some clues from Yu Wenwan, and more importantly, to find Yu Wenwan as a backer.

"Who wants to kill Mrs. Qu, we don't have any clues yet, so of course we can't talk about it, but the person who wants to kill her must have interests and conflicts with her." Yu Wenwan said;

"Madam is right, have you found any other clues?" Gu Zhenwei asked;

"After Mrs. Qu died, her forearm was still in an upward position, which means that Concubine Qu was faked to hang herself after she died for a while." Yu Wenwan looked at Gu Zhenwei and said;
"Yes, what Madam said is very reasonable. After death, the muscles of the body gradually harden, and it takes a certain period of time before they become stiff." Gu Guwei said;

"This person can kill people without anyone noticing in the palace, which shows that he is very familiar with the environment of the palace." Yu Wenwan said;

"Murder in the palace, the deceased is Mrs. Qu, although my minister is a big criminal, Mrs. Qu is not close, this case is difficult, but I rely on my wife's advice." Gu Guwei said;

"Although Mr. Gu cannot get close, there is one person whom Mr. Gu can get close to." Yu Wenwan said lightly;

"Madam, please tell me, who is this?" Gu Zhenwei asked with a salute;

"Xiao Taohua, the maidservant next to Madam and Concubine." Yu Wenwan said word by word;
"Little Peach Blossom?" Gu Zhenwei asked puzzled;

"Xiao Taohua was the only person who served Mrs. Qu after she was thrown into limbo. I found her nervous and timid at the scene that day. There must be something strange on her side. Starting from Xiao Taohua, maybe we can get Some clues." Yu Wenwan said;

"Madam is very perceptive and has extraordinary thinking. This humble minister really admires her."

Gu Zhenwei saluted Yu Wenwan and said goodbye to Yu Wenwan.

……

After Mrs. Qu hanged herself, Xiao Taohua was always restless and fearful, and she always served Mrs. Qu;
Mrs. Qu's suicide by hanging herself was a blow to her. She didn't know where she would be transferred, and what was even more frightening was that she was worried about whether she would be buried with her.

After all, Mrs. Qu was always the only one serving in Nanqiu Palace, even in Yunding Palace, she was still serving.

The person who is going to interrogate her today is not the little Sikou, but the big Sikou, Master Gu. She doesn't know what mistake she made to be interrogated?

"Report the names of the criminals in the hall."

Da Si Kou Gu Guwei gave the gavel a loud sound.

Xiao Taohua was startled suddenly, her body trembled, her face turned pale.

"Slave and servant Xiao Taohua pays homage to Lord Sikou."

Xiao Taohua couldn't stand the scare, her voice trembled.

"Little Peach Blossom, are you convicted?"

Gu Zhenwei gave another shot;
"My lord, I don't know what crime I have committed." Xiao Taohua trembled in fright;

"You served Mrs. Qu, but you didn't know that she was killed. Are you not responsible?" Gu Zhenwei shouted;

"My lord, Mrs. Qu hanged herself, how can she be killed?" Xiao Taohua asked;

"Bold, Mrs. Qu was strangled to death and then hung on the roof beam. Even if you are not the murderer, how can you afford the crime of negligence of responsibility."

Gu Zhenwei patted the gavel tree and shouted;

"Big...big...adult..."

When Xiao Taohua heard this, her face turned green with fright, and she was speechless.

"Little Peach Blossom, I hear you clearly. Now I have an opportunity for you to perform a crime. You have to tell what happened to Mrs. Qu in Nanqiu Palace so that you can save yourself from death." Gu Zhenwei said;

"Thank you, my lord... Thank you, my lord..."

Xiao Taohong told all the representative things about Concubine Qu in Nanqiu Palace;
"Wait, repeat the conversation between the strangers and them that day." Gu Guwei said;

Xiao Taohua repeated the conversation between the stranger and Mrs. Qu that day;
Because Xiao Taohua didn't see the person coming clearly, her description was not so specific, and everyone couldn't guess who it was according to her description.

That person sounds like she was sent by the queen. Who is she?Could it be that the Queen killed Mrs. Qu because she was transferred from Nanqiu Palace to Yunding Palace?
