The tyrant opposite the door

Chapter 548 Chapter 558: Torture Interrogation

In a rage, Sikong Musheng sat down in person, Guanju Palace was locked instantly, and all the servants were called out, standing in the yard to question one by one.

Nanny Liang knew that this matter could not be investigated clearly, and she was ashamed to stay in Guanju Palace.

She never thought that there would be problems with the embroidered shoes.

What was even more unexpected was that someone would come up with such a method to harm others. It was the first time she had seen such a tricky and weird method in the palace for so many years.

Everything around the queen is managed by a dedicated person.

For jewellery, clothes, shoes and socks, rouge, etc., Mother Liang first called the shoe manager to ask.

The maid in charge of the shoes was so frightened that her legs were limp, her face was as white as paper, and she kept yelling for grievances, "Servant, I really dare not harm my mother. After the shoes were brought back from the Shangyi Bureau, the servant locked them in the box, and the key I carry them with me, and I don’t dare to leave them when I sleep. I really don’t know what’s wrong. Mother, give me ten courages, and I don’t dare to do such a thing. There are parents and brothers in the servant’s house. I dare not."

After Madam Liang finished asking, she recorded them all, and said, "Go and wait."

Then call the next one.

Outside, Chunxin was helping with Nanny Liang's records, Yuehua was guarding the door as a servant, and all the palace servants in the courtyard were pale. If the real culprit could not be found out, the entire courtyard would probably die.

Liang Nanny is a formidable person. She knew what everyone was afraid of, so she said: "If any of you can report the suspect, you will have made a meritorious deed. , Your Majesty was frightened and the emperor was furious, and you all know the consequences."

The most feared thing in this world is having a few pairs of eyes around you. With Mammy Liang's move, if someone has a ghost in his heart, at this time, as long as she interrogates seriously, she will always be able to find clues.

The lights were turned on in the yard and the interrogation was still going on, but Qiuhe came back sweaty at this time.

"The servant is useless. I failed to catch up with the cat. The cat seems to be very familiar with the roads in the palace. After three chases and two chases, the servant lost it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Qiu He felt very ashamed. , he is also a man of skill at any rate, but he did not expect that even a cat could not catch up.

Sikong Mu Sheng looked stern and angry, obviously very dissatisfied, snorted out of his nose, and Yun Ran saw Qiu He trembling with fright.

Yun Ran hurriedly tugged at Sikong Mu Sheng's sleeve, and said to Qiu He: "You have tried your best, that cat knows the route, and as you said, it is a remote and difficult place to go, and you jumped over a wall and jumped a mountain. It’s understandable not to catch up.”

"Slaves are useless." Qiu He kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Director Zheng has already gone to investigate the origin of the cat. You can help to redeem the crime. You have chased the cat, and you have helped Manager Zheng." Yun Ran was afraid that Sikong Mu Sheng would dispose of Qiuhe in a fit of anger, and rushed to kill him. It was difficult for Sikong Mu Sheng to punish her for sending Qiu He back before.

Sikong Musheng didn't know Yunran's small thoughts, and he didn't expose it. After seeing Qiuhe kowtowed and exited, he said, "Let them prepare the meal. You should be hungry after making a fuss so late."

It's fine if I don't mention it, but I'm really hungry after saying that.

Yun Ran nodded, and Sikong Mu Sheng's heir set out the meal.

After having dinner with Yunran and watching her fall asleep after drinking the calming soup, he strode out with a straight face.

Zheng Tong was already waiting outside, and when he saw the emperor coming out, he immediately stepped forward to salute.

Nanny Liang was still leading people to interrogate, and the yard was brightly lit.

Sikong Mu Sheng went directly to the side hall, sat down and looked at Zheng Tong and said, "Tell me, did you find out?"

"Returning to the emperor, the servant took people to check the locked palaces of each palace first, and there were no wild cats infested. Then he went to Yunyi Palace and Guangning Palace in person, and there were no cats in the two palaces. Then the servant I went to the place where the eunuchs and maids lived in the palace, and asked the stewards to ask them one by one, and they also said that no one kept cats.

The servant wondered, everyone said they didn't have a cat, could it be that the cat came out of nowhere, so he ordered someone to go to the inner court to pass the message, and asked the eunuch in charge of the inner court to interrogate them one by one.The inner court is interrogating, and the servant will come back first to report to the emperor. "

Sikong Mu Sheng half-closed his eyes, no one in the palace kept cats, so where did this cat come from?
Suddenly thought of something, looked at Zheng Tong and asked, "Have you checked the Imperial Dining Room?"

Zheng Tong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "The slave didn't go, the imperial dining room is a place for cooking, and they never keep these things."

"No, but the imperial dining room has to bring in chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and other livestock from outside the palace every day. It's no problem to bring a cat in." Fang is also very familiar with this, so I can think of this.

Zheng Tong suddenly realized, he pleaded guilty quickly, and hurried through the night, leading his people directly to the imperial dining room.

Under the light, Sikong Musheng's sharp eyes stared at the night deep in the courtyard.

Whether it's a problem with the imperial dining room, he is not sure now, but if it is, who can insert and enter the imperial dining room, and let people take such a big risk to bring a cat into the palace?
What's more, cats and dogs are not forbidden in the palace, and if someone keeps them, they will not be forbidden.

It's just that he sneaked into the palace in such a sneaky way, obviously for a purpose.

Is it just to harm Yun Ran?

It was late in the day when the Empress Dowager entered the palace, so it was unlikely that she would reach out to the imperial dining room.

Queen Hui?

Although the empress dowager Hui's contacts in the palace were almost destroyed by Emperor Wenzong, who can guarantee that there will be none left?

There are only such a few masters in the palace, and after checking it all over, it only falls on these few people.

If it's really Empress Hui...

Sikong Mu Sheng's expression became more and more serious, she couldn't live in this harem, and he would not let her off easily.

If there is one, there are two, he can't make fun of the child with Yunran.

After drinking the calming soup, Yunran had a good night's dream, but in the middle of the night, he felt faintly uncomfortable in his stomach, but soon fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, there was no one around, Yun Ran frowned, did it mean that Sikong Mu Sheng rested in Zhaoming Hall last night?

Thinking of this, she sat up, put on her outer clothes, pulled up her shoes and walked out.Just two steps away, I heard a slight voice coming from behind the curtain.

"...The cat was found in the well of the Leng Palace. When the servants arrived, it was already dead. The person in charge of the livestock in the imperial dining room was tortured and interrogated by the inner court. One of them couldn't stand the torture and committed suicide by biting his tongue. .

The other was vague and unclear, and only said that when he was out of the palace to transport livestock, the one who bit his tongue and killed himself gave him two taels of silver and asked him to buy some food and go back to honor his superiors.When he came back, the car was all loaded, and he didn't look at it carefully, so he drove the car back to the imperial dining room.

When unloading the car, he didn't move his hands, so I really don't know if the cat came in with the car. "
