The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 221: See the Move
"I'm really sorry," the leading captain was a man who had just been promoted from the soldiers. He had personally experienced the incident in Seven Buddha City and was very impressed by the fact that the Chief Justice worked together to save the Lord.

If it weren't for Lord Yu's decisiveness in killing and punishing the traitors in the Imperial Guards early on, it would not have been the turn of these low-ranking pawns to be promoted.

In addition, although all the officials in the Ministry of Justice were from noble families, they did not put on airs towards people like them who came from humble backgrounds, and they had already become familiar with them over these days.

"It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order. I am really sorry."

Tongdu looked at the dilemma of the few people and patted Suanzhuo on the shoulder: "Forget it, they are just following orders, why bother making things difficult for them."

Suan Zhuo then took off the sword from his waist and handed it to the guards along with Tong Du's whip.

"Is there anything else?"

The captain of the imperial guards said in embarrassment: "There are also Lord Bo's weapons and Lord Yu's house."

"How dare you!" Suan Zhuo's face turned completely cold: "Lord Si Yin is still in a coma, and her sword was damaged when she saved His Majesty. Do you want to check the weapon bestowed by His Majesty?"

The man's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said he dared not to do it: "I am just..."

However, he had never been in many big scenes and was not good at speaking. He couldn't explain himself at the moment and could only apologize repeatedly.

Inside the window, Bo Yi looked at Yu Qiansi. Seeing her calm appearance, he paused for a moment and asked, "What did you mean by 'bad' just now?"

"There's no rush now," Yu Qiansi had already sat back at the table, filled a cup of hot tea for herself, and tested the temperature of the cup wall: "If my guess is correct, they must have a back-up plan, and it will probably come soon."

She pointed outside the door and said, "Go and let those people check your knife first. You can't be accused of being secretive."

Bo Yi couldn't guess what she was thinking, so he had to do as she said.

He pushed open the door, took off the black sword and threw it to the person below the stairs.

The guard almost failed to catch it with all his strength. The moment he caught it, he felt as if the blade was surrounded by a divine wind. Before it was unsheathed, it made a subtle sound. He couldn't help but sigh, "What a good blade."

The sword was only pulled out a little, but the bright light made the captain dare not look directly at it. For a moment, everyone in the courtyard felt cold all over, as if there were ghosts and evil spirits around them, crying and screaming.

"Look carefully, is it the murder weapon?" Bo Yi said with a hint of sarcasm.

The captain of the imperial guards was already weak in the knees, and he quickly sheathed his sword and presented it with both hands: "Uncle, I am sorry for the lowly position I hold. How can I use such a divine weapon to kill a palace maid?"

What's more, the fatal wound on the palace maid was very common and there was no way it could have been caused by such a magical weapon with murderous aura.

Bo Yi reached out and easily took the knife from his hand, then lightly buckled it back to his waist. He glanced at Lan Shu who was about to fall down beside him, and asked casually, "Have you checked all the weapons?"

"nature."

"Is there any clue?"

"not yet."

The man told the truth.

There are guards inside and outside the imperial mausoleum, and the imperial guards patrol day and night. It is impossible for outsiders to break in. The murderer can only be someone who is now in the imperial mausoleum.

But the traces of the fatal weapon were indeed strange.

The guards searched all the houses one by one, even the broken vases and dishes were not left out, but still found nothing.

"The Lan family is very familiar with the imperial mausoleum. Why don't you ask them?" Boyi nodded to Lan Shu and said, "Patriarch Lan is here. Perhaps he will have a different opinion."

Lan Shu pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, and cold sweat dripped onto the ground due to the severe pain all over his body.

"Master Bo, you are joking. The Lan family has already given up all the courtyards for the Royal Guards to inspect."

Bo Yi smiled and said, "Chief Lan, you are wrong. I just asked you to help me with some ideas. I have no other intention." The smile that Lan Shu had forced out with all his might froze.

It was all because of the pain caused by the poison that made it difficult for him to concentrate on dealing with these things, and even made Bo Yi feel that there was something fishy going on.

He cursed in his heart, saying that they were indeed Yu Luosha's lackeys, and were all insidious and cunning.

He lowered his dark eyelids and secretly calculated the time. According to Lanzhi, it should be at this moment.

Sure enough, there was a noise outside the door.

De Ming led an unfamiliar imperial physician in and said to Boyi apologetically, "The others were worried that Lord Yu was in a coma due to state affairs, so they came to the Imperial Court to ask for Lord Zheng, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau, to come to Lord Yu."

An old man stood quietly behind Deming with his head down, looking at Boyi coldly.

The imperial physicians of the Fengyi Bureau only treat the royal family, and this Lord Zheng is the imperial physician of His Majesty.

Only then did Bo Yi realize what the Lan family's back-up plan was.

Sure enough, Lan Shu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Eunuch Deming, Lord Yu was seriously injured and has not yet woken up due to the negligence of the Lan family. As the acting clan leader, I feel deeply ashamed, so I brought a famous doctor from the clan to see Lord Yu. If you agree, why not let him see Lord Yu together? If he can help Lord Yu recover soon, it will also reduce one or two sins of our clan."

De Ming looked at Zheng Sui, who was standing tall and solemn. This Zheng was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Zheng Sui glanced at Lan Shu with a sidelong glance, arrogant and cold, his beard trembling twice, and finally nodded.

Did you actually agree?
Bo Yi thought to himself: As expected.

Yu Qiansi was now "sleeping", and if the imperial guards were allowed to search, it would be unreasonable and would hurt the reputation of the Ministry of Justice. Her room could not be searched, so it became the only place in the imperial mausoleum that had not been searched. If the murder weapon was not found elsewhere, it would only be suspected that the murder weapon came from here.

But if he allowed the Guards to search him in order to prove himself, he would have to "suddenly wake up".

In this case, it is difficult to say when she woke up. Without an alibi, there is even a suspicion of murder to silence her.

Judging from her expression just now, I was probably sure that this was what she had guessed.

Among that group of Qingliu people, is there anyone who has something to do with the Lan family?

No, it’s not that simple. There is also something wrong with Zheng Sui in front of us.

I don't know how she plans to deal with it.

Bo Yi had no choice but to use a delaying tactic: "Two palace maids are changing the medicine for Master Yu. Please wait. It won't be too late to check Master Yu's pulse after he has changed the medicine."

After that, he entered the house, closed the door, stood in the outer hall, and deliberately said in a loud voice: "What's the matter, you two?"

The two palace maids wanted to answer, but they saw Yu Qiansi standing in the inner room with his index finger on his lips, signaling them to be quiet.

The two palace maids then lowered their heads again, their eyes looking at their noses, and their noses looking at their hearts.

Bo Yi and Yu Qian Si were in sync with each other, and they smiled and answered loudly, "Okay, I'll wait a little longer."

If the two palace maids were really changing the dressing, they would naturally be far away from the people outside the room. The palace maids in the Daming Palace should not shout loudly. If they spoke rashly, they would arouse suspicion.

Bo Yi walked into the inner room and saw her still fiddling with the cup of hot tea, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"What to do now?"
