"Follow me!"

Han Shiyan said, pretending to be calm and stretched out his hand to wrap around Gu Shiwei's wrist.

Her wrist was extraordinarily thin and had some warmth. When her fingertips moved slightly, she could still feel the old and new scars on it.

Just like her, she is so fresh and fresh without any trace of falsehood.

"Where to go?" Gu Shiwei looked around and found that the patrolling Dianqiansi team had disappeared.

The palace gate was close at hand, but Han Shiyan did not take her out of the palace. Instead, he walked in twists and turns, and then walked into a remote courtyard.

The house here is several feet shorter than the other places. The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard is already lush and lush, and you can see insects on the leaves at a casual glance.

Gu Shiwei looked around curiously when he suddenly heard a shrill scream.

The voice sounded like a wild ghost who had just been reincarnated and was beaten back with a bowl of abortion pills. The repeated despair made people tremble.

Gu Shiwei put her fingers on the long sword at her waist. She reached out and pulled Han Shiyan behind her, and looked warily in the direction of the sound.

It was a small side house with little sunlight. The ground in front of the door was wet with moss.

If you smell it carefully, it still smells of blood.

Gu Shiwei winked at Han Shiyan, but saw that Han Shiyan's face was turning blue and white, and he looked embarrassed.

"what happened?"

Facing Gu Shiwei's inquiry, Tietou Han Yushi felt his scalp numb for the first time. His head was not iron at all, it was obviously as brittle as porcelain.

The door to the main room of the small courtyard opened at this time, and a little eunuch trotted out. This little eunuch had a round face, red lips and white teeth, and a pair of big and bright eyes. He was very smart at first glance. .

"Han Yushi, Eunuch Wei has been waiting for you for a long time. The things have been found."

Seeing Gu Shiwei looking curiously at the small side room, the little eunuch blurted out without even thinking, "There are a group of new people entering the palace, let's clean themselves there! If the two adults are too noisy, please call first They stop."

Silence is today's banquet between Gu Shiwei and Han.

Gu Shinwei's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Han Shiyan with some sympathy, wondering if this guy was frightened and would have nightmares every day in the future.

"No need! Let's go!" Han Shiyan said, not daring to look at Gu Shiwei's expression.

He strode towards the house without looking back, cursing Wei Jingsheng inside ten thousand times in his heart.

It's not a big deal for Gu Shiwei to see such dirty things. Master Gu, the Imperial City Secretary, is an extraordinary person, but if she is inspired and learns from it...

Han Shiyan shook his head slightly and led Gu Shiwei into the room. Upon seeing this, the little eunuch who had been talking ran in again.

There were two eunuchs sitting in the room. One of them was about thirty years old and fat. Sitting there, he was looking through the thick and yellowed roster on the table. It was obvious that the roster had not been taken out for a long time. The cover Not to mention the mold spots on it, it's just dust.

The other one was a withered old man, standing aside with a low eyebrow, and at first glance he was the old man in the palace.

"Wei Jingsheng, the internal supervisor is in charge."

"Gu Shiwei, you know."

Wei Jingsheng listened and stood up hurriedly, "Don't dare to take it. The roster is here."

As he spoke, he pushed the roster he was looking at in front of Han Shiyan and gave up his seat.

"It's been a while since I last saw you, and you're fatter than before. If you continue to be fatter like this, anyone with eyes will know that you eat hot and spicy food every day. You're all here, you won't fool me, right?" Then When Eunuch Wei heard Han Shiyan's words, he licked his face and smiled fawningly, "Han Yushi is joking. I can't fool anyone but you!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Gu Shiwei's hand on the hilt of his sword.

Good guy! The original Han Yushi was difficult enough to deal with. Not only did he have a mouth like a knife, but he also had a pair of parents who were assholes. Who can afford to offend the eldest princess? Does she have a backer? Who can afford to offend the Prince Consort? That was an unexpected bastard!

He has been in prison to this day. Who is easy to deal with and who is not easy to deal with? He must have an account in his heart.

And now, Yushi Han has someone beside him who draws his sword whenever he disagrees...

It simply makes up for the last shortcoming in his scolding that won't win in a fight!
"Besides, everyone in the palace knows that the officials want us to cooperate with Yushi Han in investigating the case!"

Han Shiyan didn't say much. He just listened to the grandmother next to Shen Jieyu who said no, it was just a witness and they needed tangible evidence.

"The palace servants and the royal belt cannot be people of unknown origin. When entering the palace, they will be strictly investigated to prevent assassins from getting in. Both Fu Ya and Li Chang are recorded in the book."

As Han Shiyan spoke, he paused while flipping through the book and took another booklet about royal belts.

This one is obviously much thinner, and not many people are recorded in it.

Seeing Han Shiyan taking the booklet, Wei Jingsheng said hurriedly, "Han Yushi asked for it, so I brought it over too."

Han Shiyan hummed softly and turned back a few pages of the booklet. He stopped when he saw Li Chang's name.

He placed the two booklets side by side and pushed them in front of Gu Shiwei.

Gu Shiwei took a closer look and couldn't help but say, "Sure enough, they both come from the same hometown and the same clan. The surname of Fuya's mother's family is Xia."

Before Gu Shiwei finished speaking, Han Shiyan beside her had already received what she meant.

The surname is Xia, the county magistrate of Suzhou...

That familiar name immediately appeared in their minds.

Xia Zhongan, the magistrate of Changzhou County, is the father of the girl Luyi!
Both of them had a flash of dark color in their eyes. This case was like a nine-link chain, with one link inside another.

Gu Shiwei had many thoughts in her mind, but now was not the time to talk. She turned her eyes and focused her gaze on the old eunuch who had been hunched over.

There is no one idle in this house.

This old eunuch couldn't just stand here and listen to the screams next door, recalling his rootless years.

Sure enough, after noticing Gu Shiwei's gaze, Wei Jingsheng immediately said, "Zhang Tian, ​​the body collector."

There are so many eunuchs and maids in the palace. If this person died, it would be hard to dig a hole in the yard and bury him. Then there would be no one in the palace underground?

After all, someone had to wrap it in a straw mat, carry it out and bury it, and this Zhangtian should be the body collector who specialized in doing this.

As Eunuch Wei said this, he glanced at the old man. His majestic look was completely different from the way he treated Han Shiyan.

The old eunuch named Zhang trembled, but he knelt on the ground with a plop.

Eunuch Wei looked at it and kicked the old eunuch dissatisfied, "What are you doing? If Han Yushi asks you, you answer honestly, what are you doing with such fear?"

"If your Excellency wants to ask about Fuya's body... I want to say... the body... we didn't bury the body at the beginning, it disappeared on its own!" (End of Chapter)
