After hearing what he said, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, certainly knew that Yan Guifei had been strangled the night before.

The one who died was Yan Guifei, the favorite concubine of the former Emperor LiZong. After the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, got the imperial edict, he brought one of the outstanding works of the Ministry of punishment.

Even though Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, is one of the only remaining experts in the demon sect, and the method of killing people is not ingenious, this experienced work still finds clues from it.

"You must look at it carefully. There is nothing wrong with it." Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, told you what he said.

He squatted down again, pointed to Yan Guifei's neck, and said to Dong songchen and Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment: "manager Dong, Mr. Wen, please look, there is no trace on the surface of the neck, but after careful examination, you will find that the skin of his neck is light black."

"Under normal circumstances, if the victim is strangled by the murderer, the pinch mark on his neck should be very obvious, right?" Wen Tianxiang asked after reading it.

"You are right, my Lord." He bowed and replied.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the grand interior, asked, "why is the pinch mark on the neck of the imperial concubine not so obvious?"

"Manager Dong, if the humble guess is correct, the one who strangled the empress should be a master of martial arts. After strangling the empress's neck, he used his own internal skill and internal force to close the trachea of empress Yan, which led to the most obvious scar on the neck of the empress, but only on the outside There are faint traces. " He replied.

After listening to this analysis, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, admired this work in his heart and said: "although this man is not present, he said that after the inspection, what he said is just like being at the scene."

Thinking of this, he asked, "in the Imperial Palace, that is, the imperial guards who are proficient in martial arts, are they responsible for it?"

"Manager Dong, according to what he said, among the imperial guards, only Zheng Huchen, the commander of the badminton army, and Li Hu, the deputy commander, can have such skills." Tianxiang great humanity.

When he heard this, he said in a hurry: "Mr. Wen, villains only know how to examine injuries. As for who did it, villains don't dare to guess."

"Lord Wen, in this case, let's ask the imperial edict to arrest the commander Zheng Huchen and the deputy commander Li Hu. "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, said.

Wen Tianxiang said: "in this palace, it is not only Zheng Huchen, commander of the Imperial Army, and Li Hu, deputy commander of the Imperial Army, who have such skills. "

" Oh, besides these two, are there other masters hiding in the harem? "Asked Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace.

Wen Tianxiang replied: "we don't see the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because we live in this mountain. "

" Mr. Wen, I'm a rude man. I don't know any verses. If you have something to say, just say it. "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, said.

With a smile, Mr. Wen Tianxiang asked, "isn't manager Dong an expert hiding in the palace? "

" ha ha, Lord Wen, you really know how to laugh. The old slave is good at martial arts, but he only serves the emperor on weekdays. His kung fu has never been used, and he has been unfamiliar for a long time. What kind of master are you talking about there? "Asked the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the imperial palace.

Mr. Wen Tianxiang replied, "don't be too modest, manager Dong. You can defeat Li Hu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Army in a few moves. You are the only one in the palace who can do such martial arts? "

" you, you... " Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, was a little worried.

Then she asked again, "why, Mr. Wen, are you doubting that I can't succeed?"

"Manager Dong, don't be so excited. I didn't say how to doubt you." Mr. Wen Tianxiang replied.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, said: "Mr. Wen, you didn't directly say that it was the commander who did it, but listening to your voice, you are doubting the commander."

"Why, is your manager Dong guilty?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.

The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial College, replied, "it's a joke. What's wrong with the general manager?"

"I've heard about it for a long time. In the barracks of the Imperial Army that day, manager Dong, if you don't do it, it's amazing." Tianxiang great humanity.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the grand interior, said: "Lord Wen, in fact, my commander's martial arts are very ordinary. Deputy commander Li may have deliberately let me go out of respect for my manager. Otherwise, I would have won."

"My Lord has a question. I've always been very curious. I don't know if I can ask you a question or two." Mr. Wen Tianxiang asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, replied: "of course, I know everything about your question, and I have said everything."

"Manager Dong, which school and school do you come from?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, replied, "why, you are a civil servant. Now you are so interested in the affairs of the river and the lake. "

" hehe, I just ask you questions. If it's not convenient for you to answer them, then forget it. " Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial College, said, "I've always been aboveboard, and I won't hide it."

"As for the martial arts of commander Ben, there is nothing in fact. It was taught by a stranger when he was young." The eunuch, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, made up a story.

Wen Tianxiang said: "Oh, so it is. "

" after passing on the martial arts of commander Ben, this strange man disappeared. It's a shame to say that commander Ben still doesn't know his old man's name. "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, said.

Of course, Lord Wen Tianxiang would not believe what the eunuch Dong songchen said, but he didn't continue to argue with him and said, "well, it seems that Professor Dong, your character in the Jianghu should be an expert in the Jianghu, and he doesn't like to show himself in the Jianghu. "

" maybe as you said, Mr. Wen. " Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the University, replied.

Then he said, "Mr. Wen, we'd better discuss how to think about the emperor's memorial to Yan Guifei."

"This is a matter in the palace. You are the chief Eunuch in the palace. In your opinion, what should we do about this matter?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, thought about it and replied, "in my opinion, the emperor's mood would not have been the case that Princess Yan had just been killed in the harem. If he reported to the emperor that the princess Yan might have been killed by unknown people, I'm afraid the emperor would be more sad. After all, the princess Yan used to be the most beloved of the emperor."

"I'm worthy of being around the emperor. It's very thoughtful of you, manager Dong." Tianxiang great humanity.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, said: "you are flattered, Mr. Wen. I have been serving the emperor for so many years. Although I am only a slave of the emperor, I have feelings for the emperor. When I encounter something related to the emperor, I will naturally think more about it."

"Hey, so, manager Dong, what you said seems reasonable, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to study it carefully." Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment.

The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial College, said, "I'd like to consult you. What's wrong with the general manager?"

"Whether you are a slave to the emperor or a minister, the most important word is loyalty. "The Minister of punishment Wen Tianxiang replied.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, asked, "Mr. Wen, what do you mean? Do you mean that our commander is unfaithful to the emperor? "

" we know that this concubine Yan may not have been hanged, but killed by others, but we don't play the role of the emperor. To put it more seriously, we are deceiving the king. Where is your loyalty to the emperor, manager Dong? "The Minister of punishment Wen Tianxiang asked.

This refutation made the eunuch Dong songchen, the head of the Imperial Palace, a little speechless.

There was no choice but to smile awkwardly.

Mr. Wen Tianxiang asked, "if manager Dong doesn't object to my opinion, let's go to the emperor and report to him. "

" hehe, since Lord Wen is eager to report this matter to the emperor, the manager has nothing to say. If the emperor hears the news and affects his dragon body, it's not the manager's fault. "Dong songchen said.

He asked again, "I heard that your position as Minister of the Ministry of punishment was recommended by Prime Minister Jia himself to the emperor? "

" yes! "Replied Lord Wen Tianxiang.

Then he asked, "manager Dong, what do you mean by that?"

Dong songchen replied: "the manager suddenly seems to understand."

"What do you understand?" The Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, asked.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, asked in reply, "this princess Yan was put in the cold palace by the emperor because she framed Princess Jia. Now Princess Jia is the elder sister of prime minister Jia. Mr. Wen, you care so much about the murder of Princess Yan. Is it because it involves the elder sister of prime minister Jia?"

"It's a load of nonsense. Who am I? I don't want to associate with Prime Minister Jia. The position of minister of punishment is appointed by the Emperor himself. What does it have to do with Prime Minister Jia?" After hearing this, Lord Wen Tianxiang said angrily.

Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial College, said with a smile: "Oh, my lord Wen, I'm just talking about myself. Why do you take it seriously?"

"Could it be that the manager said that you are in the heart of Lord Wen?" Then, the eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, said again.

At this time, Mr. Wen Tianxiang realized that Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, was deliberately angry with himself to disturb his thoughts.

"Manager Dong, I'm going to report to the emperor what happened here. If you want to join me, please follow me. If you don't want to go, please do as you please. "Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, is a great humanist.He went out to clean up the house, and he went out.

Of course, the eunuch, the head of the Imperial Palace, will not let Mr. Wen Tianxiang go to see the emperor alone to talk about this.

After hearing what Wen Tianxiang said, Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, followed him and came to Emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty.

After listening to their memorials, Emperor LiZong did not speak for a long time.

Seeing that the emperor did not speak, Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of punishment, and Dong songchen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, were not able to say anything first.

"Ah. "

emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty suddenly sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't be in a bad mood because of Yan Guifei's affair. In my opinion, since Yan Guifei is dead, this affair is past. Your majesty, why do you think about it again? It's not worth it. "The eunuch Dong songchen pretended to comfort the emperor LiZong.

Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, this Yan Guifei framed Jia Guifei, and now she died in the cold palace in the back palace. In my opinion, this matter is worth studying deeply.

"

emperor LiZong said," Oh, Wen Aiqing, just tell me what you think. "

" my Lord, the affairs of the two royal concubines Jia and Yan are royal secrets. According to the etiquette, this matter should be managed by the patriarchal clan. Lord Wen is a foreign minister. It's not suitable for him to be a foreign minister, is it? "The eunuch in charge of the Imperial Palace, Dong songchen, said.

Mr. Wen Tianxiang retorted: "manager Dong, this is not true. The emperor is the emperor of the Song Dynasty. It has been said since ancient times that the emperor has no private affairs. The affairs of the emperor's family are the affairs of the Song Dynasty. What is the difference between public and private? "

" it also depends on what happened. This incident involves the two most beloved imperial concubines of the emperor. If we continue to pursue them, we are afraid that they will make a lot of noise. At that time, it will damage the reputation of the emperor. As a minister of the emperor, how can you bear to do so. "The eunuch is the chief manager of the interior.

Wen Tianxiang said: "if you don't know clearly about the murder of the imperial concubine, it is the greatest damage to the emperor's reputation. Manager Dong, don't confuse the core of the problem.

"

" don't quarrel with me as soon as it happens. "Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty was not happy.

See the emperor is not happy, the two will no longer continue to argue.

After thinking about it, the emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "well, I think we should go after the affairs of Yan Guifei. After all, Yan Guifei was once my favorite concubine. This person even dares to harm my beloved concubine. If this person is in the harem, my safety will not be guaranteed. "

" Your Majesty, you are right. When I go back, I will investigate the case in detail, so that your majesty can rest assured. "Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, bowed himself to answer.
