Chapter 72
After returning to the palace, Zhao Xueying made a prediction about the current severe situation.

First of all, after Wanyan Lie left, without his deterrence, the palace would inevitably be in turmoil, and many of the Queen Mother's remnants would be ready to move.

In addition, Zhao Xueying's ominous rumors are getting more and more serious, and she is from Liang, so she has lost all hearts, and the harem will become even more difficult to manage.

In addition, Zhao Xueying's attitude towards the palace people was relatively easy-going before. Everyone thought she was gentle and deceitful, and they didn't take her words seriously.

So she intends to use iron fists to make them fearful, and then give them favors, so as to give both kindness and might.

The ominous rumors about her outside the palace are fueled by people with good intentions, and rumors must spread everywhere.

She and Wanyan Lie are one body, and one hair can affect the whole body. If the people's hearts are not stable, it will definitely have a huge impact on the battle ahead.

So we must stabilize the hearts of the people.

Most of the common people believe in ghosts, gods and sorcery, so they can start with this.

Fortunately, she has read a lot, and she has some knowledge about the rumors about crows carrying fire, so she can use it.

It can be compiled into nursery rhymes and widely disseminated in the market, which may play a role in reversing the situation.

In addition, she must investigate as soon as possible why the clothes attracted crows and spontaneously ignited, and found out who was behind the scenes.

In fact, you don't need to think about who is behind the scenes, but to find out, you must produce ample evidence.

And this evidence cannot be taken out at will, it must be hit immediately, otherwise the opponent will run away like a loach, leaving only muddy water in one hand.

That night, Zhao Xueying took the guards and the doctor to check the half-burned dress.

There was actually a large amount of white phosphorus powder on the dress, and when the temperature reached a certain level or after friction, it would burn by itself.

There is plenty of sunshine at noon in winter. Although the temperature has not reached the temperature that can burn by itself, it is different when encountering crows raids.

Wanyan Lie held her in his arms, and there was friction when he dodged the crow.

The clothes will burn by themselves.

As for why the crows attack in groups, it is not difficult to understand.

Crows like shiny things.

Her gown was resplendent and gorgeous, glistening in the sun.

Just put a large number of crows in a closed place, wait for Zhao Xueying to go to the high platform, release the crows, and the crows will naturally come straight to Zhao Xueying.

It is really painstaking to play tricks and plot all kinds of tricks.

How did such a large group of crows enter the palace without anyone noticing it?

Zhao Xueying suddenly thought of something and looked at Lou Lin.

"Lou Lin, send someone to secretly investigate Yexiangche, and see if there are clues such as bird droppings or bird feathers in Yexiangche who is in charge. Remember, don't let others find out."

Yexiang cart is a cart used to hold Jinshui, which is commonly known as excrement.

"Yes!"

Lou Lin took the order and immediately ordered someone to do it.

"Linghu Nan, you sent people to secretly investigate the Pharmacy Department, and it is definitely not a coincidence that a large amount of white phosphorus appeared."

Before Wanyan Lie left, Linghu Nan was left behind.

He felt a little more at ease with the two first-class master guards of Dajin.

"Yes!"

Looking at Zhao Xueying's exhausted appearance, Lingyin said worriedly: "Princess, go to bed early."

Zhao Xueying pinched the bridge of her nose and murmured: "Well, there should be a lot of things to deal with tomorrow, I have to recharge my batteries."

The next day, the noise broke the tranquility of the morning.

Because of the Queen's gown, the Department of Clothes Bureau arrested many people who handled the gowns.

The rest of the people were in a mess.

They didn't listen to Gu Li's words at all, they were all lazy and slacking off at work.

There were even a few palace people eating melon seeds and chatting under the corridor, feeling very uncomfortable.

They threw melon seeds at random, and the ground was a mess.

Gu Li was so angry that she wanted to go over to question her, but was stopped by a few people she was close to.

"Forget it, people in the palace are in panic, and the sky is about to change. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Don't get into trouble."

Gu Li is upright and strict.

"The concubine treated me kindly. Not only did she save me, but she also handed over the clothing bureau to me. I can't repay such a great kindness. I can only manage the clothing bureau well and not let her worry about it."

Her companion said: "Those people are not easy to mess with, let's forget it."

But Gu Li still walked over and asked, "Have you completed today's weaving task?!"

A palace man spat out a mouthful of melon seeds and said confidently, "It's done."

"Where?"

The palace man raised his chin.

"Well, isn't that what it is?"

Gu Li looked, the looms were empty, where was the shadow of half a piece of cloth?
"Why did not I see?"

The palace man was laughing and laughing.

"We can all see. Is there something wrong with the female officer's eyes?"

A group of people followed suit:

"Isn't it? It's obviously there."

"We can really see it."

"There must be something wrong with the female officer's eyes, but I have to ask the doctor to take a good look."

"Yeah yeah!"

……

Gu Li was so angry that she went up and slapped the head woman on the mouth.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, that palace man would not do anything, but rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight Gu Li.

But she was pulled away by Gu Li's companion.

Those palace people also saw that there were quite a few companions of Gu Li.

Instead of hitting, he yelled:

"Don't take chicken feathers as arrows!"

"The princess is in bad luck, such a person should be kicked out of the palace!"

"The princess is full of evil spirits, and you are not a good person!"

……

Gu Li was in a hurry, went up to wrestle with them, caught the worst palace maid, and beat her up.

Gu Li's companions were so numerous that they were sidelined.

So in the end, Gu Li had the upper hand.

These people didn't agree, they complained to Zhao Xueying, crying, and Gu Li followed.

Zhao Xueying sat on the grand teacher's chair, looking at a group of people kneeling on the ground.

Listen to the ins and outs of the palace man who provoked the incident.

Gu Li really opened his eyes, these people are really good at turning black and white.

With snot and tears, tears flowed down his face, and he said that even the client himself believed it.

After listening to the narration, Zhao Xueying remained calm and her voice was low.

"In this world, no one who speaks loudly or cries miserably is justified. Both of you hold your own opinions, and one of them must be lying to me. I will find out after a little investigation."

Her eyes grew colder.

"I hate people lying to me the most in my life. If you tell the whole truth and don't do it again in the future, I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. If you are stubborn and insist on going your own way, you will be severely punished."

She paused for a moment, then continued: "I'll give you some time to think about it now. You won't have a chance when Lingyin comes back from the investigation. Think about it."

Those people didn't care, Zhao Xueying had always been virtuous and weak, so there were no harsh measures she could have.

And it's not a big deal.

Time passed little by little.

Lingyin came back with her maid, and bowed to Zhao Xueying.

"Qi Wangfei, it is indeed as Gu Li said, these people not only do not do things well, but also gather crowds to make trouble."

Zhao Xueying also learned that Wanyan Lie's people don't talk harshly much.

"Lou Lin, detain these people, give them [-] boards each, and send them to the mines on the outskirts of Beijing to work as coolies!"

The coal mines in the suburbs of Beijing are well-known far and wide. They are not places for people to stay, and they are bitter and tiring.

At the end of the day, except for the whites of the eyes and white teeth, all of them are covered with black soot.

Like black briquettes.

The people who work there are the most vicious criminals, who are used to bullying and cruel.

There is really no way for normal people to survive there.

The palace people panicked when they heard this, and quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Princess, spare my life, Wangfei, spare my life!"

"We don't dare any more!"

"Princess, please spare us!"
