Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 752 Covering up the murderer
Shen Cheng said: "I would also like to thank my father, if it weren't for those hidden guards, it wouldn't be so smooth."

Those hidden guards are all first-class masters, carefully trained by Emperor Chu.

Shen Cheng continued: "First lure away the hidden guards of Shoukang Palace, then light Empress Dowager Xiao's Sleeping Point, then put Hongrui's body and Concubine Jia's head beside her, and then put a few pieces of ice, After the ice melts and soaks the bedding, there will be no trace of water on the ground, and then there will be a line of wet footprints. Because it is too scary, it will naturally be thought to be haunted. The common people have always believed in ghosts and gods. As long as we spread some rumors and divert everyone's attention, the muddier the water, the better for us."

Emperor Chu pondered for a moment: "What clues can be found in the case?"

Shen Cheng shook his head: "Concubine Jia's death is inextricably related to Hongrui, but now that there is no proof of her death, the only clue to this case is also broken."

"How did Concubine Jia die?"

If Rong Jiu hadn't restored her appearance, he wouldn't have believed that the bones were Concubine Jia.

"Ajiu and I both felt that Concubine Jia was eaten bit by bit by something. We found out that there is a kind of karma ants in the Western Regions. When these karma ants gather together, they can eat up a person in an instant."

Emperor Chu felt a little strange: "Concubine Jia was eaten by a group of Jie ants?"

"It's just a guess, it's not certain. The ants are ferocious and bloodthirsty, and they need to be fed with raw meat. For this matter, Commander Wei has to use other names to search the entire palace to see if anyone has secretly raised them."

Emperor Chu nodded.

Eunuch Zhao came over with a meal, while Rong Jiu was eating cherry cheese, a young eunuch came in and whispered in Eunuch Zhao's ear.

Eunuch Zhao's face suddenly became serious, and Emperor Chu asked, "What happened?"

"Concubine Jia's father and brother are kneeling outside the palace, begging His Majesty to punish Concubine Shu severely."

Rong Jiu snorted coldly: "Father has not been to the harem for a long time, saying that Concubine Shu killed Concubine Jia because she hated Concubine Jia's beauty and was afraid that she would compete for favor, so she killed her. Let’s just make friends, let’s just say that now, Concubine Shu is in charge of Fengyin, and there is support from the Wei family behind her, so even if Concubine Jia wants to fight, she can’t compete.”

Emperor Chu said to Eunuch Zhao: "Go out and tell Cheng's father and son that the case has been handed over to Dali Temple for thorough investigation. I will give them an explanation and let them go back."

"Master Cheng said that if His Majesty does not severely punish Concubine Shu, they will not be able to kneel forever."

Emperor Chu's expression turned cold suddenly: "Then let them kneel."

Rong Jiudao: "Concubine Jia's father and brother must have been provoked by the Xiao family, and they are afraid that they will do something drastic."

"So, you have to solve the case as soon as possible."

"Ah."

After eating, the two left Zichen Palace.

Concubine Jia's father, Cheng Min, saw Shen Cheng coming out, and quickly asked, "I wonder when Master Shen will be able to convict Concubine Shu?"

Shen Cheng said indifferently: "Your Majesty decides whether Concubine Shu is guilty or not. If the case is not settled for a day, she will be innocent for a day. Your Majesty understands Mr. Cheng's pain of bereavement, but Mr. Cheng should also understand that the case will not come to light. , you forced His Majesty to deal with Concubine Shu, it is really not a courtier's action."

Cheng Min's expression changed: "The facts are all there, it's not Concubine Shu, who is it?"

"What is the truth? Concubine Shu is not a stupid person in charge of the harem. If she wants to murder Concubine Jia, she doesn't need to dirty her hands. She still uses such clumsy means."

"Lord Shen always excuses Concubine Shu, how can I believe that you are not protecting her?"
