The two black treasures of Tiangui's escaped concubine

258 Chapter 3 It's Over ([-])
This made everyone tremble.

"Your Majesty." The little eunuch burst into tears, "Your Majesty, kill the servant."

"So you pleaded guilty?"

"Yes, the slave pleaded guilty."

"What's in the box?"

"The slave really doesn't know what's in it, I just know that someone wants to bury the box in my house."

"You didn't even look at it, so you helped someone collect the box. How much money did you charge for this?"

"Two taels of silver, just enough to give my mother a month's worth of medicine." Weeping, the little eunuch admitted that he was stupid to do this kind of thing on behalf of others, and in the end he really didn't even know how he became a scapegoat to die.

Hua Xiyan said: "I think you have a heart of filial piety, but you have no sense of reverence. I cut off your three fingers and drove you out of the palace. Go home and farm to honor your mother."

The little eunuch was stunned, he didn't expect that he escaped from her hands, and immediately wanted to kowtow to thank him.However, the person who set him up didn't let him say a word, and pulled him out of the palace directly.

Seeing Hua Xiyan offend the little eunuch in such a way, the rest of the kneeling people were panicked.I don't know, is Hua Xiyan planning to stop this matter, or?
"Eunuch Liu."

The father-in-law of the House of Internal Affairs, who was kneeling in the last row, climbed forward with his head covered in sweat, and replied, "Your servant is here, empress."

"The complaint paper that was revealed internally was written by you?"

Eunuch Liu knew that he couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, it's the servant. The servant also saw it accidentally. Someone moved boxes to his house, and then he took a look at what was in there, so he knew."

"Who moved boxes to his house?"

"This, this, the old slave is not clear. I only know that it is a car. Yes, when the old slave saw it, it was at the gate of the palace. The box was placed on the carriage. No one was guarding it."

"No one is guarding, you go and lift the lid of the box to see what's inside."

"Yes."

"Okay, now go and see what's in that box."

Eunuch Liu was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding what she meant, but if he did what she said, wouldn't he open the lid of the box in public?It was only when I walked in front of the two big boxes that I realized that I had fallen into her trap.Those two boxes had keyholes, and they couldn't be opened without a key.

"Eunuch Liu." Hua Xiyan saw that the sweat hanging from his head could turn into a river, and said with a slight smile, "I don't know if you have the ability to see through objects? Or do you have the ability to pick locks? "

Eunuch Liu closed his eyes abruptly, turned around, and immediately kowtowed: "Slave, you deserve to die. The servant just asked the question out of the blue, and didn't remember the matter clearly. Slave, the servant asked the driver what was inside the carriage. something. As for the driver, a stranger whom I have never seen before."

"Anyway, you think it's stolen goods from Dawan people, right?"

"Yes Yes."

"How do you think it was sent by people from Dawan?"

"Because the driver of the carriage said that all the things in the box and the things in the box belong to Dawan people. If they are sent by people from their own country, why send them with things from Dawan."

"Well——" Hua Xiyan drew a long tail, "I think your words are very reasonable."

Eunuch Liu wiped his sweat vigorously: I always feel that there is another meaning hidden in her words.

Hua Xiyan tapped the tea cover: "So, as long as you find out who has the key to this box and who took the things from the Dawan people, it seems to be clear."

The people below all shook.

The key is definitely not in the hands of the little eunuch.I went to search the people in the little eunuch's house, and searched carefully, but there was no key.In other words, if the person from Dawan didn't give a heavy gift, presumably, the one who planted it would not be reluctant to give the key to the young eunuch at the same time.Or maybe it can be said that the person who framed him had a lucky escape in his heart.

Eunuch Cheng felt that his waist was heavy, and the keys hanging around his waist were so heavy that they would pull him into the bottomless pit.

"Eunuch Liu said that the things in this box may be valuable. If it's my palace, of course you have to take such valuable things with you. Then, let's search for the suspects here first." Hua Xiyan said.

A group of guards who had been waiting for a long time heard the order and immediately went forward to search all the belongings on him one by one.When he was about to find Eunuch Cheng, Eunuch Cheng quietly threw out the key hanging from his waist, intending to throw it on the person closest to him.However, a guard happened to stand in the middle, and the key fell at the guard's feet.He was immediately picked up by the guard.

"Your Majesty, I found a bunch of keys of unknown origin." The guard said.

Hua Xiyan was watching, narrowing her eyes: "Take it out of the box."

The keys were inserted into the keyholes of the heavy box one by one until one of them aligned with the keyhole mechanism, and with a light click, the lock was turned and unlocked.The lid of the box was lifted, revealing a box full of strange gems.

Although Dawan is not as rich in jade as Tangling, it still has a lot of strange gems.There are some, whose prices are hyped up on the black market, higher than gold.Dawan people think that it is the most valuable thing when giving gifts to friends.

Among Dawan's tributes to Dongling, strange gemstones are at the top of the list, representing loyalty.

This box of gems is comparable to gold, no, more expensive than gold.Such a large number of corruption and bribery, sentencing is definitely a death penalty.

All those present were blinded by the light of this precious stone.

Eunuch Liu was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Of course he didn't know what Dawan people gave Eunuch Cheng. Eunuch Cheng told him that there were Dawan's incense powder, rouge, cloth, fox fur and other things in the box, and he believed it.

It turned out that Eunuch Cheng had lied to him. In order to prevent others from hearing about these things that were more expensive than gold, he had an evil intention to take them for himself.

Hua Xiyan tut tut: This Prince Dawan really can afford a big deal.In order to send my younger sister to the palace and to her man's bed, I don't know how much treasury and national treasures were used.

It is precisely because she wants to get the Yeluqi big bison with great ambitions, only cares about the position of the king, does not spare money, and gives them Tangling's own officials bribes, which makes it so easy for Hua Xiyan to arrest people.

Such a precious thing, which one is really willing to throw it away.Even beheading would not be willing to throw away, because greed is the nature of human beings.Especially for those who are already frequent criminals of corruption, no matter how much money they have, they feel that it is not enough, and they only want more.

So this kind of person can only commit suicide by himself.

Eunuch Cheng closed his eyes.I felt that my body was being picked up like a chicken.

"Eunuch Cheng, you threw the key yourself, don't say that I planted it on you." Hua Xiyan said coldly.

Eunuch Cheng kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
