Chapter 271 Interrogating the Eunuch
Until one day someone came to report that a palace lady had died in the laundry room of the Laundry Bureau. This was not a big deal, and Rui Ziying didn't take it to heart at all.

It wasn't until the news of the death of the second and third came that Rui Ziying finally realized that something was wrong. It was clear that someone was intentionally creating panic!But what is the purpose of the other party doing this?
Is he going to target the entire clothing bureau?Or maybe he has other goals.

Rui Ziying decided to handle this matter herself, and in order not to cause trouble for Geng Guanyu, she didn't let Geng Guanyu know about this matter, and came to the clothing bureau without authorization.

Once the steward of the Huanyi Bureau heard that Rui Ziying had come over in person, how could he dare to be negligent?Hastily came to receive.

Rui Ziying didn't have any unnecessary nonsense with him, but asked straight to the point: "What's going on? Why do so many people die if they're good?"

Logically speaking, it is not Rui Ziying's turn to deal with this matter, but this is what happened in the harem after all, and there are already many troubles in the imperial court, in case the later events are related to the previous ones Woolen cloth?

That's why Rui Ziying wanted to handle this matter herself.

When she saw the steward running over in a panic, she knew that things were definitely not as simple as she imagined. The steward in front of her must know something, but if the other party was willing to tell the truth, it was up to her how to deal with it. thing.

The manager faltered and held back for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence. Rui Ziying gradually lost her patience.

"If you are unwilling to honestly explain the cause and effect of these things, I will tell the emperor about it. I can't promise you what kind of consequences you will end up with. If you tell me honestly now, I can also help you block this matter and try not to let the emperor find out."

What Rui Ziying said was very serious, not a single lie was mixed in, and the person in charge actually understood what kind of consequences he would face if Huang Sheng really found out about this matter. This consequence is absolutely unbearable for him.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to compromise.

Anyway, even if he didn't say it himself, Rui Ziying's ingenuity would be able to find this out sooner or later. If that's the case, it's better to explain it honestly.

"At the beginning, I didn't know what was going on. I thought it was the maid who was wronged, so I couldn't think about it so much. But the second and third ones also chose to jump into the well, and I started to feel that something was wrong. The place was guarded here for two days, but nothing was found."

"At that time, I was hesitant to report this matter, but I was afraid that I would get into trouble and be dismissed, so I made up my mind to hide this matter, and begged the empress to spare her life! I will never dare again."

Rui Ziying had a headache, but the reason why the manager would do such a thing was because she didn't want to take responsibility. Although doing so was somewhat irresponsible, it was human nature, so Rui Ziying didn't intend to blame him for the time being. Let's settle the account with him after the matter is resolved.

"I don't have to worry about this matter with you at the moment, but do you really not find anything in this matter? If there is anything, tell me right now, don't hide anything, I don't have enough patience here I'm wasting time with you, my time is very precious."

The person in charge immediately said: "It's not that we didn't find anything. We stayed here for two days, and indeed we didn't find anything. But just when we relaxed our vigilance and thought that this kind of thing would never happen again, the next day Another person jumped into the well here."

"That is to say, what happened this time made it impossible to hide the matter of the three people in front of me, which caused your queen to let you know about this matter. In fact, I have never dared to say it, but I still want to tell it now. Empress, what a dark side there is."

"It may make the queen feel that her eyes are dirty..."

He swallowed, although he still hesitated, but with the encouragement from Rui Ziying's gaze, he still mustered up his courage.

"Those maids were killed by the chief steward."

Rui Ziying raised her eyebrows, and said in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

The person in charge nodded affirmatively: "Before that, I also found it unbelievable, but all the evidence points to the person in charge, and only he can do this perfectly, without revealing any flaws, and Don't let anyone notice."

"Even he can participate in it and pretend to be with us to track down the real murderer, so as to alleviate our suspicion of him, but think about it, queen, who else can freely come and go in this place except Big Guan and me Woolen cloth?"

"Even if they can do this, they don't have the guts to kill people, let alone the ability to do it seamlessly without anyone noticing."

Rui Ziying asked again: "Then why can't that person be you? If the big manager has the same reason as you, then who do you think I should trust between the two of you?"

The manager didn't know how to refute for a while, he didn't think about this issue at all at the beginning, but now that Rui Ziying mentioned it, he felt that it was very reasonable.

She can tell Rui Ziying these things herself, and the manager can naturally say the same, but it's up to Rui Ziying to decide who to trust.

"I dare to assure the queen that everything I just said is not a lie. Once half of my words are false, the queen can punish me at will. Of course, the queen is right. There are also big managers. Maybe say what I said, but I can't do anything about it, after all, the mouth is on his body, so I can't control what he wants to say."

"I can only ask the queen to make the decision for me, and don't let him wrong me."

Rui Ziying said casually: "What is the truth of the matter? I will naturally make a decision here. Of course, before the person involved in the matter comes out, I will not believe every word you two say. Call me over here."

The chief officer looked like a eunuch who was nearly fifty years old, with many wrinkles on his face, and he was a little hunched when he walked.
