Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 214 The Problematic Maid
Under Zhang Chen's perception, there are several deep or shallow breaths around, which may be the reason why Foyin hinted at himself.

"Let's go, you sent someone to deliver a letter earlier, telling us to pay attention to the latest strange things in the palace. After yesterday, we really discovered something unusual."

Foyin spoke directly, but the expression on his face returned to a relaxed look.

"This is really thanks to Chen Muchan, who was hunted down by so many people and was able to dig out so many clues from them.

It may be that the situation was too urgent at that time, and only a few words were left on the note. If Zhang Chen hadn't asked for a general situation, I really couldn't guess what he was going to say."

Zhang Chen shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself, and then he took Zhu Yipin to follow Foyin's footsteps.

After a while, Zhu Yipin looked up at the plaque and said word by word: "Yu-ban-fang, this is to let us have lunch? Then I have to taste what the legendary imperial banquet is like."

Foyin smiled and said nothing, Zhang Chen patted Zhu Yipin on the shoulder, pointed to the person not far away and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat, look who is here!"

Zhu Yipin followed Zhang Chen's point of view, and ran behind Zhang Chen in a whoosh. That's right, it was none other than Liu Ruoxin and Yang Yuxuan.

The two of them approached, and Zhang Chen greeted them with a smile.

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, Liu Ruoxin took the initiative to explain, "My adoptive father asked me to help, and this white-haired monster was sent by Dongchang."

Zhang Chen said directly: "I'm afraid this is not the real reason!"

He didn't believe in such an obvious reason.

Liu Ruoxin chuckled, and continued: "Don't forget our identities. It involves royal affairs. If we don't need us, why should we still use you outsiders?"

Zhang Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, but he ignored this incident. This matter involved the palace, and he had been specially approved by the emperor to be here.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that people from the East and West Factory would really have to take charge of this matter. Strictly speaking, Cao Zhengchun and Wang Zhi are servants of the royal family, and the East and West Factory are more suitable for dealing with royal affairs.

Yang Yuxuan didn't say a word, but said lightly: "Eunuch Cao sent me here!"

The few people did not continue to chat, because a servant hurried over and said to everyone: "Your Majesty ordered people from the East and West factories to assist Consultant Zhang to find out the truth."

After finishing speaking, he gave a slight salute to several people and left in a hurry.

Zhang Chen looked at the little eunuch going away, and had to say in his heart: "The palace is really leaking everywhere, and in less than half an hour, the news has already spread to the two factories.

It seems that the emperor would not have taken a step back and let them participate, otherwise, he would not have given himself such an oral order. "

"Let's go, let's go see the scene!"

Zhang Chen spoke directly.

Foyin led the way, and they had already controlled the people in charge of the ingredients in the imperial dining room, and they were guarding him in order to prevent someone from killing someone.

In a room of the palace.

Zhang Chen and the others stared at the eunuch in front of him. He was the chief manager of the imperial dining room's ingredients management.

"Masters, who are you?"

The fat eunuch asked in fear.

"Don't be afraid, we just want to ask you for some information. You should know that some strange things have happened recently, and the source of this thing is the Imperial Dining Room."

Zhang Chen asked directly.

The rest of the people kept staring at him, and the fat eunuch's back felt chills from the stares of the people.

"The villain really doesn't know what's going on?"

The fat eunuch said aggrievedly.

Ling Lingfa reminded: "Recently, the chicken you raised didn't die. Isn't this a strange thing?"

The fat eunuch was wronged when he heard the words. The chickens did disappear and died one after another, but he thought it was just normal wear and tear.

After all, this is an unspoken rule in the palace. There are so many nobles in the house to serve, and no one knows whether these chickens are being served with extra food. All they can do is turn a blind eye and close one eye, so that they can Live longer in the palace.

The fat eunuch finished speaking tremblingly, and looked at Zhang Chen with a worried face. The most indispensable thing in the palace is someone who can observe words and emotions. In just a short period of time, he has confirmed that Zhang Chen is the one who can call the shots.

Zhang Chen stroked his chin and said, "Is what the manager said true?"

What he asked the fat eunuch just now, the real purpose was to divert the direction of the investigation, but he ignored what the fat eunuch said just now.

There is indeed such a possibility. It is absolutely impossible for a fat eunuch to lie under the threat of his own life.

Linglingfa and Foyin nodded, there are hidden rules on the surface, even they sometimes secretly beat teeth, not to mention so many nobles in the palace.

Zhang Chen was thinking about how to guide them so that they could find the right clues.

Ling Lingfa said directly: "What happened to those chickens, we should ask the person who is in charge of these chickens."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen said suspiciously: "You have already found the manager, why don't you just gather the people below?"

Ling Lingfa pointed to the sky, and said ambiguously: "This is the imperial palace, not your back garden. If you offend a nobleman, even Your Majesty will be very embarrassed."

The few people blinked and understood the difficulty of the two of them. The chicken farmer must have been greeted by some nobleman, otherwise, given their status, they would not be afraid of ordinary concubines.

"Before there was no oral order from His Majesty, it was difficult for us to do it, but we have already found out that the maid who raised the chickens was named Liuzhu, but she has been demoted to the imperial garden to clean up."

Foyin took the few words and told several people the whereabouts of the maid.

"It's really a coincidence!"

Zhang Chen said thoughtfully.

Everyone present nodded and said yes, it was indeed a coincidence that all this happened.

"I don't know which nobleman it is?"

Ling Lingfa sighed and said: "I have inquired about this a long time ago, I heard that she accidentally bumped into the Queen Mother, so she was relegated to the Imperial Garden to let her clean the fallen leaves.

When we went to ask for someone, we found that the maid next to the Empress Dowager had ordered this maid to clean up the fallen leaves in the imperial garden, and when she cleaned up, she could go back to rest."

Several people opened their mouths and didn't know what to say. Could it make them suspect the Queen Mother?
Ling Lingfa spread his hands, and at this moment several people knew the difficulty of the matter.

"If there is no oral order from His Majesty, I'm afraid we really won't be able to get this maid!"

Zhang Chen shook his head. This is the inconvenience of being in the imperial city. Anyone who pops up at random may be someone you can't afford to offend.

A group of people turned around and rushed to the imperial garden immediately. Judging from the current situation, this maid is already the most likely clue.

"The assassin must be supported by someone in the palace, otherwise he would not have sneaked in so silently. The national teacher and Brother Fa have already searched the palace, but have not found the slightest clue. Isn't this a strange thing?
The most important thing is that this bead is really suspicious. I just asked the fat eunuch, she is also an old man in the imperial dining room, how could she bump into the queen mother in the imperial garden? "

Zhang Chen analyzed on the way.

　Thanks for the support!
