Already."

"When she saw those two people, she was so frightened that Wu Chongmin wanted to kill her to silence her, and he even tried to do it in a roundabout way..."

Outside the house, the little maid hurriedly passed by holding a lamp, casting a long shadow on the window.

Zhao Surui narrowed his eyes: "Who is outside?"

Tunan followed "her" eyes and looked over: "He is one of Shen Langjun's subordinates. I once met him at Xinghua Tower. Shen Langjun sent him to see the girl."

Zhao Surui raised his eyebrows: "Let him come in."

When Ah Chi saw that his girl was about to see someone without washing herself, she wanted to stop her, but Tunan had already gone to call someone.

"Praying for mercy below, I have met Madam Shen."

Upon hearing that Yiji called himself by his original name, Zhao Surui was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips and smiled:

"Sister Yu, Fang Qi'en, is it she who makes you call yourself this outside? Tsk."

Several generations of eunuchs in the Yong Dynasty were in chaos. Zhao Surui didn't want those serving around him to imitate Zhang Wan, Wang Gui and his ilk. He simply took away their names and only used words like chickens, dogs and beasts to call them. Unexpectedly, Shen Sanfei turned out to be...

In this way, the name was returned to them.

His "tsk" sound was a mockery of Shen Sanfai's womanly kindness.

Lowering his head, he continued to pull the wontons in the bowl. The small, firm meatballs were hidden in the wontons, and he took one bite at a time.

"There are two bannermen in Zuoshaoying. One is named Shi and the other is Zhou. They are both working under Qianhu Wu Chongmin. Do you know what is special about those two people?"

Fang Qi'en did not expect that Mrs. Shen would call him in so skillfully. He put his hands together in front of him, bowed and said thoughtfully:

"Next to me, I don't know. If his surname is Shi, he is probably Shi Luyou and Shi Xiaoqi, the nephew of Shi Wence, the censor of the former right capital."

Shi Wence's nephew? Thinking of Shen Sanfai sending someone to bring Chu Jiyuan back to the court, Zhao Surui suddenly realized.

"Chu Jiyuan came back from the southwest. Where did he go?"

"Mr. Chu returned to Beijing from Yunnan and Guizhou. The journey was difficult. He was about to leave Hubei and enter Henan. When he heard the news of Mrs. Yao's death, Mr. Chu stopped for two days. He wanted to pay homage to his wife before going to Beijing, but the emperor's orders were with him.

, he can only let his son return to his hometown in Jiangxi to observe the system, while Mr. Chu and Mr. Shi continue to go north, and they will reach Yanjing in six or seven days."

"Mrs. Yao?" Who is it?

Zhao Surui raised his head and first saw the look of sadness on the faces of the two maids.

The white porcelain spoon stirred the wonton bowl, and Zhao Surui asked Fang Qi'en directly:

"Have you...did that person go to worship?"

This question was very interesting, as if Mrs. Shen was sure that the emperor would go to worship him.

Fang Qi'en recorded this matter in his mind and said slowly, "My master personally dictated the sacrificial text."

Since the founding of the Yong Dynasty, imperial edicts have been copied and backed up. As the eunuch in charge of rituals, Fang Qi'en naturally has to read the imperial edicts one by one. When he saw the unprecedented imperial edict, Fang Qi'en was shocked. It's hard to put it into words. I almost dried up my brain and couldn't think of any great merits that Yao had.

Unexpectedly, Madam Shen knew some clues here.

Sitting on the bed and looking at the wontons in his hand, Zhao Surui suddenly lost interest.

He even told Sanfei Shen what he ate and drank. So Sanfei Shen, since the deceased was a close acquaintance of hers, why should she discuss it with him and ask him to take time out of his busy schedule to pay his respects?

snort!

Not bothering to use a spoon, he directly picked up the bowl and ate the wontons with soup and ingredients.

"stone

Wence resigned to accompany Chu Jiyuan back then. Now that Chu Jiyuan has returned to the court, he will come back. He has always been a stubborn person and would rather die than let go of the cases he caught. What Wu Chongmin is afraid of is that Shi Xinmei will take Shi Luyou's way. Asking for advice, this is why he used such a tortuous method of killing."

After speaking, Zhao Surui narrowed his eyes.

"With such great efforts to cover up, it seems that what Wu Chongmin committed is really quite big."

He looked at Tunan: "According to what was said before, let Shi Xinmei write a petition first and tell her that the battle on the day Chu Jiyuan entered the capital must be quite big. Since he has become the censor of Youdu, he has the power of supervision. Let Shi Xinmei Go complain in the street."

Tunan agreed and looked at Yiji again.

"I originally wanted to handle this matter myself, but seeing that there are so many involved, there is no reason not to let you do it. There was such a big fight in the Procuratorate here yesterday, and Wu Chongmin will definitely get the news. I have already asked someone to carry him out. Wu Chongmin may not fully believe the person who went out with a corpse and pretended to kill me last night. It would be best to try to find something for him so that he can't move. Keep an eye on me...I really don't understand what I'm doing in this way. That's all. Let's do this first. So, I want to see how Chu Jiyuan will deal with this Wu Chongmin. If he doesn't know how to deal with it, I will deal with him together."

If he were in his own body now, Wu Chongmin would have been tortured, signed and stamped, and the whole set of beheadings was completed.

Thinking like this, Zhao Surui felt bored for a while. He looked at Tu Nan and then at Fang Qi'en. He suddenly leaned back, his muscles stretched, and he grimaced in pain.

"Tunan, wait and ask me if there is any ointment. It was hot when you applied it to me, but now it has no effect."

"Okay, girl."

Tunan saw the injury on "his girl's" hand from the corner of her eye, and she subconsciously clenched the sword in her hand.

When coming out of the Xincheng Procuratorate, Fang Qi'en suddenly saw Tunan's figure disappearing at the corner of the street.

He thought for a moment, took back his foot to get on the carriage, and quickly followed.

Following Tunan all the way back to Shen's house, Fang Qi'en watched her walk in from the back door, and couldn't help laughing in his heart that he was too careful.

After he turned around and left, a short while later a porter dressed as a man came out of Shen's house.

——

"Since he has told you so, just do as you are told." Shen Shiqing put down the ink pen in her hand after listening to Yiji's story, then picked up a few notebooks at hand and handed them to Gao Wanxin, "I asked the Four Rats to memorize the Forty Courts. Stick, next time, there is no need to keep his pen holding position."

"I would like to thank the Emperor for your mercy on behalf of the Four Rats. Your Majesty, I want to keep an eye on Wu Chongmin. I would like to personally lead someone to keep an eye on him."

"Are you watching in person?"

Shen Shiqing raised her eyes and looked at the chicken standing at the bottom.

After a moment, she nodded: "Okay, you can take a look around the capital, and don't forget to bring some food to the three cats when you return to the palace. The three of you have been away from the palace recently, and I am the only one listening to his fuss. .”

This meant that he was still close to these eunuchs, so Yiji quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

However, the moment he stood up, he remembered another voice.

Madam Shen's tone of voice is very similar to the emperor's in the past.

Yi Ji moved very quickly. He wanted to cause trouble for Wu Chongmin. That night, Wu Chongmin's eldest son was imprisoned for fighting and causing trouble.

Wu Chongmin was still in the camp. The housekeeper of the Wu family entered the camp to look for him, but he met the deputy general of the Zuoxiao camp patrolling the camp.

Early the next morning, Wu Chongmin came out of the military camp and hurried home.

"With six personal guards, he has a thousand households, and the battle is quite big. I'm afraid he has done something bad."

Hearing a few people whispering, Fang Qi'en held the copper pipe clairvoyance in his hand and saw Wu Chongmin and his men running through the forest on horseback, and were about to pass by a woodcutter who had gotten up early to sell firewood.

The next moment, blood spurted out.

The woodcutter actually pulled out a pair of knives from his burden, turned over on his horse, and stabbed Wu Chongmin's right shoulder with a short knife.

Copper tube's clairvoyance can't see clearly, no matter the blood, the facial features of the perpetrator

It was hard to see clearly, but Fang Qi'en was shocked.

Of course it's not because he doesn't want to see blood. Before the Four Rats entered the imperial palace, he killed many people.

He was frightened because he actually guessed who the assassin was.

Swinging his whip on his horse, Fang Qi'en galloped out of the fork in the road. After the assassin grabbed the horse and fled, he asked others to stop Wu Chongmin's entourage, and he quickly followed.:

His horse is a forbidden horse. Although it is not as good as a royal horse, it is still much better than an ordinary military horse.

He kept chasing the man for about a moment, and the man's horse finally slowed down.

Fang Qi'en rode closer and saw that the "assassin"'s back was already covered in blood.

"Miss Tunan! You are injured."

He quickly dismounted and tried to help Tunan off the horse, but suddenly felt a chill on his neck.

The knife, still stained with blood, was pressed against his white porcelain neck.

The woman with blood and mud on her face sat on the horse and looked down at him.

Their eyes met, and the ordinary maid of the Shen family, Tunan, smiled sarcastically:

"Thank you, Master Fang, for sending me the horse."
