Chapter 443: intimidate

Chapter 443 Intimidation

Pei Yi is so calm and self-possessed, and her words are so orderly, the appeal is really strong.

Commander Sun's original self-blaming and anxious heart was greatly calmed down, and Pei Yi gave him a great sense of trust, making him feel that although Zhou Jieyu, a key figure, is gone, the case can still be investigated. .

"These palace people in Shuyi Palace have all served Zhou Jieyu before, and they all know Zhou Jieyu's daily movements." Pei Yi said calmly, "Interrogate them carefully, maybe there will be unexpected gains. "

This is very to the point, Commander Sun deeply agrees.

As soon as a person calms down, his mind is broadened. Commander Sun suggested: "You can also check the entry and exit records of Shuyi Palace. Zhou Jieyu's private meeting with a foreigner must be revealed in the whereabouts."

However, Commander Sun is not clear about the management system of the harem, and he does not know where to obtain the entry and exit records of Shuyi Palace.

As a prince, Huo Yuan lived in the harem when he was young, so he is familiar with these things. He explained: "The Department of Records of the Shang Palace Bureau is responsible for the entry and exit records of palace personnel."

Pei Yi's mind was spinning quickly, and soon she had a charter in her mind, and directly arranged: "It's not too late, Xun Sijie and Xiao Shizi will stay here to assist Commander Sun in interrogating the palace servants of Shuyi Palace. The Third Highness and I will go down Shang Palace Bureau checks the travel records of Shuyi Palace personnel."

Time was running out, and everyone had no objection to Pei Yi's arrangement, and each acted separately and in an orderly manner.

Pei Yi and Huo Yuan left Shuyi Palace and arrived at Shanggong Bureau not long after.

Although the internal guards surrounded Shuyi Palace and did not allow news to leak out, this situation also made the harem panic.

Therefore, when the secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau heard that Pei Yi and others wanted to retrieve the entry and exit records of Shuyi Palace, he immediately handed them over.

Not only that, the palace servants also led Pei Yi and Huo Yuan to the side hall to sit and examine the papers, and then boiled fresh tea and served them with an extremely respectful attitude, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Huo Yuan glanced at the nervous palace servant, and ordered: "Everyone, step back."

"Yes." The palace people came out in a file, and walked out of the corridor outside the stairs very vigilantly and stood there, showing that they had no intention of eavesdropping.

Pei Yi glanced outside to confirm that the palace people couldn't hear the conversation in the hall clearly, then she curled her fingers and tapped lightly on the navy blue file, and analyzed in a low voice: "A concubine will not slander you, a prince, for no reason. What is Zhou Jieyu's background, who she associates with on a daily basis, and who is instigated behind her, these are the most important things."

Just now, she didn't say this in Shuyi Palace because she was wary of Commander Sun and didn't want Commander Sun to lead such an important matter. She left Xun Huan and Xiao Junji in Shuyi Palace, which also meant to monitor and inspect Commander Sun.

Huo Yuan said in a deep voice: "The secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau is in charge of the names of palace people. We can go here to find Zhou Jieyu's family history file."

Pei Yi glanced at Huo Yuan, and Pi Li said with a smile: "It's just that the investigation of the files in the palace is not comprehensive, and Zhou Jieyu's daily relationships must also be investigated. Now that time is tight, it is impossible to cover everything. We can only start from the last Start with suspicious places first."

Huo Yuan naturally understood what she meant, and said calmly: "Just leave it to me." Over the years, he has also made arrangements in the palace. Although it is not easy to investigate Zhou Jieyu's suspicious contacts, it is not impossible. possible.

The two had a good discussion on this.

Pei Yi and Huo Yuan looked through the travel records together, but found nothing suspicious.

"It's not easy to see the clues just by looking at the records." Huo Yuan suggested, "We might as well go and see the interrogation situation of the courtiers in Shuyi Palace. Combined with the confessions of the courtiers and then look at the travel records, the problem may come out."

Pei Yi readily agreed.

At this time, according to Huo Yuan's order, the secretary of the Shang Palace Bureau came to hand over Zhou Jieyu's name book.

Huo Yuan said without hesitation: "I need to borrow this register and travel records for a few days."

According to the rules, these books of the Harem Shanggong Bureau can no longer be borrowed.

The female official who came to deliver the register is the secretary in charge of the secretary, surnamed Zhou.

Zhou Sibo looked troubled, hesitatingly said: "Your Highness, the Secretary of the Book has never had the rule of borrowing the name book. This matter cannot be decided by slaves and servants. You have to ask Lord Shanggong."

Pei Yi said indifferently: "Let your Lord Shang Gong come over."

Zhou Sibo responded, quickly walked out of the hall and ordered the maids to call for Lord Shang Gong immediately, while she herself stayed outside the hall to wait for orders at any time.

After a while, Lord Shang Gong arrived. She is an old man in the palace who is nearly forty years old, her surname is Zheng, and she is very plump.

"I have met Your Highness, Mr. Pei." Zheng Shanggong saluted.

Huo Yuan raised the loan request again.

Zheng Shanggong was also very embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, the books of all bureaus and divisions are not allowed to be borrowed. This is the management rule of the harem..."

Huo Yuan knew that Zheng Shanggong didn't want to offend him, but he didn't dare to violate the palace rules, so he said: "This king is acting according to the emperor's order, which delays my work. Can you Shanggong Bureau afford it?"

These words are very strong, already threatening.

Zheng Shanggong lowered his head in fear, and said helplessly: "The rules are like this..."

Huo Yuan secretly thought that this Shang Gong was worthy of being an old man in the palace, and his temper was cautious enough. The reason for pushing back like this is nothing more than not wanting to take responsibility.

Thinking about this, Huo Yuan changed his words and said: "Zheng Shanggong doesn't have to worry. This king will tell his father, today is this king who forcibly borrowed the book, and I will bear all the responsibilities."

Zheng Shanggong reluctantly agreed after hearing this.

Huo Yuan took the booklet and went to Shuyi Palace with Pei Yi.

Another compartment.

Shuyi Palace.

The young man, who was so handsome that he was almost beautiful, glanced at the court ladies and eunuchs standing in front of him, and asked, "Are all the palace servants of Shuyi Palace here?"

The nurse in charge standing in the front row whispered fearfully: "It's all here."

This handsome young man is exactly Xun Huan. He pulled a **** dog and walked slowly around the group of palace people.

The **** dog was extremely excited. Looking at this group of green and tender maids, it would pounce forward from time to time.

"ah!"

The maid screamed in fright.

The **** dog stretched out its tongue and breathed, and the hot air directly hit her face.

Seeing that the pair of paws were about to rest on the maid, Xun Huan pulled the **** dog back with one hand, and said casually: "Three Fat Hei, don't pick someone randomly."

"Ha, ha, ha..." the **** dog panted, even though its neck was being pulled by the rope, it still ran towards the maid very excitedly.

"ah!!"

"ah!"

The maids screamed in shock.

The eunuchs were infected by this panic, and screamed in fright.

All the palace people huddled inward, trying to stay away from the **** dog as much as possible.
