A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor - Chapter 358

When they were running away, Gu Yun approached Zhuo Qing and chuckled, “did you mean it?”

Zhuo Qing shrugged. “She should have known.” In fact, when Qingfeng asked her last time, she wanted to be frank with her, but she didn’t have a chance. Later, she didn’t ask, so she didn’t have to mention it. This time, let them come to the palace to investigate this case. With this opportunity, let Qingfeng see it clearly.

Gu Yun thought about it and nodded with approval: “it’s OK.” It’s not her wish to occupy other people’s body, but also to consume other people’s feelings through this body. That’s not right. However, Gu Yun glanced at the swollen and rotten corpse not far away, and couldn’t help smiling. Is it too fierce for Qingqing

The sun is hot in autumn. At noon, it’s bright and dazzling. Qingfeng is confused in front of her, just like her heart. Only the pace under her feet is faster and faster, like she is eager to escape. Ruyi holds Qingfeng, thinking that she is scared by the corpse like herself, but Qingfeng is walking faster and faster, and she almost runs behind her. Ruyi finally feels something wrong. Holding her hand, Ruyi finds that her palm is wet, and her fingertips are as cold as snow. Ruyi rushes: “Niangniang, your hand is so cold. What’s wrong with you?”

What echoed in Qingfeng’s mind were the two women in the room who faced their elder sister and younger sister. They were so familiar and so strange. They asked and answered questions and cooperated with each other as if they had practiced countless times. At this moment, there is no doubt in Qingfeng’s heart, only deep weakness, they They’re not big sister and the end, they’re not

After several days of investigation and claim of the personal belongings of the deceased, the identity of the deceased has been determined. She is the maid of the Imperial Palace, named Yi Yue. Three days after her disappearance, the body was found in the Dongyuan well. Dongyuan is a partial courtyard in the rear palace after all. That well is rarely used. It is to prevent the fire in the east of the rear palace. There is no water to put out the fire. It is dug for emergency use.

In this case, Yan Hongtian didn’t give it to the punishment department, and Gu Yun couldn’t use Shan Yulan’s people, so he moved Ge Jingyun and lengxiao to his side.

“Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock suddenly, Gu cloud says:” come in. ”

Leng Xiao pushed open the door, but didn’t go in. “Chief, I found a maid. She said she saw the dead several days ago.”

Gu Yun said, “please come in.”

After a while, Leng Xiao led a 17-8-year-old girl into the room. When the girl first came in, she was very detained. She did not dare to lift her head. When she came to Gu Yun and Zhuo Qing, she immediately knelt down on her knees. “My maid, Keer, please say hello to the two ladies.”

Facing this situation, Gu Yun is not used to it. He goes up and pulls her up, points to the chair beside him, and says, “sit down and talk.”

The girl hurriedly backed away two steps and said in a hurry, “I dare not to serve you.”

Gu Yun is helpless. He pulls the girl to the chair with skillful force, presses her shoulder to let her sit on the chair, and says, “what can I ask you? Just answer according to the facts.”

The girl swallowed her saliva nervously and nodded.

“What is your relationship with the dead, and when was the last time you saw her?”

Gu Yun’s stern voice made the girl tremble fiercely, and he said: “Yi Yue is My servant’s hometown, the last time I saw her It was three nights ago. ”

Zhuo Qing looks at Gu Yun with a funny sidelong glance. Gu Yun turns his mouth and reviews himself. He is used to being in the general’s office. He is used to speaking loudly and directly. His tone is really cold and hard, which frightens others. Gu Yun coughed softly, tried to soften his voice and said, “don’t be afraid, just say what you know.”

The girl raised her eyes slightly and saw Zhuo Qing and Gu Yun’s face was gentle, so the girl decided to calm down and said: “just after that night, Yi Yue suddenly ran to find her maid in a panic. She asked her maid to borrow a hundred liang of silver. How could she have so much money? She asked her what happened. She said that she knew a shocking secret and wanted to escape from the palace at once, or she would die When she asked her what the secret was, she refused to say that the maid had no choice but to give her only ten liang of silver. I haven’t heard from her in these days. I thought she really escaped from the palace. Who knows Who knows… ”

“When you finally saw her, did she have any scars?”

The girl thought about it and shook her head. “No, she was just pale, as if she was really scared.”

“Did she give you anything?”

“Yes.” The girl immediately nodded, took out a pink purple silk handkerchief from the sleeve, and respectfully handed it to Gu Yun. “A silk handkerchief, said to be reserved for the maidservant as a memorial.”

Gu Yun took over and looked at the front and back carefully. There was nothing special except a pattern in the lower right corner.

Gu Yun looked at the design carefully. It seemed to be a word, but it was specially designed. There were some deformations. She could understand the common traditional characters, so she could not understand them. Zhuo Qing is similar to her. She can’t help shaking her head.

Gu Yun thought about it, waved to Leng Xiao, who was not embarrassed, and asked, “what’s this word?”

Cold Xiao Leng for a while, looked at a, return way: “it is a ‘appendix’ word.”

After carefully looking at the silk handkerchief again, Gu Yun said to the girl who had been fidgeting, “go back first. If you have anything to ask you, you will be sent back.”

“Yes, my maidservant, leave.” The girl breathed a sigh and walked out after the ceremony. Leng Xiao followed her.

Gu Yun then spread the pad on the table for research. Zhuoqing suddenly laughed and said, “are you not afraid that they say you are illiterate?” Just now Leng Xiao’s surprised expression made her want to laugh. It’s estimated that he didn’t believe that the famous talented woman didn’t read!

“I don’t know the characters, and I’m not afraid of them. But… ” Gu Yun smiled strangely. “I guess they dare not.”

Looking at her proud appearance, Zhuo Qingbai glanced at her and looked down at the silk handkerchief.

“The secret of surprise?” Zhuo Qing mumbles to herself, guessing what’s in the palace to be the secret of the earth shaking.

Gu Yun nodded the words on the silk handkerchief and said: “it seems that we should start with the word” appendix “. It’s not like a palace maid’s thing. Ask the silk weaver in the palace. Maybe there’s a clue. ”

Gu Yun has always been very aggressive in his work. If he has a clue, he will not let it go. They come to the silk weaving room with a silk handkerchief. This time they were appointed to investigate the case. Gao Jin also appointed an old eunuch to cooperate with them. Someone led the way. They soon found an old mother who had worked in the silk weaving house for thirty or forty years.

Gu Yun took out the silk, handed it to her and asked, “do you recognize this silk handkerchief?”

The old mother took the silk and fumbled in her hand for a while. When she touched the appendix on the silk handkerchief, she paused her fingers. Then she quickly returned the silk handkerchief to Gu Yun and said, “I don’t recognize it.”

Just now, the color at the bottom of her eyes did not escape from Gu Yun’s eyes. Gu Yun didn’t take the silk handkerchief. He replied lightly, “I don’t know what you are afraid of.”

The old mother looked up a little flustered, looked into Gu Yun’s clear eyes, looked down again helplessly, pointed to a corner of the silk handkerchief, and said, “the old slave knows the word” appendix. ”

Gu Yun had a premonition that the old mother must know something. She didn’t force her to tell a lie just now, but continued to ask, “is there anything special about the pattern of the appendix?”

The old mother nodded slowly and whispered back: “Lian is the name of the lady’s daughter. In those days, the things she used, the silk handkerchief and the clothes and skirts would all show the word. So the old slave recognized it. But since the death of the lady, she has never seen it. Now when she saw the word again, the old slave would be a little confused.”

Trance? Trance to lie? Gu Yun stared at the face of the old Mammy, not letting go of her tiny expression, and continued: “who is the princess?”

“The lady’s name is Qiu Lian. The emperor followed her before he became the emperor. The emperor also doted on her. However, the princess was weak. The imperial doctor said that she was suffering from tuberculosis. Later, her illness became more and more serious. She often coughed up blood. More than seven years ago Gone. ” The old mother always lowered her head, but she could also feel the burning vision of Gu Yun, and the voice of reply was getting smaller and smaller.

Gu Yun not light not heavy ask: “die of illness?”

The old mother’s shoulder shook slightly, and then immediately nodded, “that’s what the doctor said.”

Gu Yun’s hands encircled his chest, as if he was thinking about something. The old mother continued to bow her head, like a copy of it. Gu Yun didn’t speak, and Zhuoqing said, “who has served her before?”

“When the imperial concubine is away, all the people who serve her are scattered to all the palaces and courtyards. Some of them are released when they are old.” The old mother turned to Zhuoqing and felt a deep sigh of relief. The young woman behind her had sharp eyes, which made her feel like she had nothing to hide.

“Do you know which concubine she was close to before? Is her Valet still in the palace? ” If you can find the people around this lady, you may be able to uncover the secret of this silk handkerchief.

“The lady used to be with the queen, but her maid…”

The old mother wanted to stop talking. Gu Yun suddenly asked, “what’s the name of her Valet? Where is she now?”

It seems that the general’s wife won’t give up without asking. The old mother sighed secretly and didn’t dodge very much. She said: “her name is Huijun. She is always responsible for her own duty. Somehow, she ran to the Queen’s palace to steal things and was caught. She was caught and put out after being kicked out of the palace for one or two years. Who knows that she even offended the empress’s mother, heard that she hurt her hand, so she was imprisoned in prison, I don’t know what year and month to come out. ”

Gu Yun took out the little rag again and asked, “do you recognize this kind of cloth?”

The old mother looked at it carefully for a while, shook her head and said, “the old slave is only responsible for the clothes and accessories of the masters. This cloth is too small to recognize.”

It’s almost time to ask. Gu Yun put away the rags and silk handkerchief and said, “thank you very much.”

The old mother seemed to be shocked and saluted repeatedly. “Madam, I’ve broken the old slave. I don’t dare to be an old slave.”
