Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 477 Methods
What method did Rong Shui use in the end to sneak in and find out the news?
Wasn't it because of his eloquent teeth that he came up with a lie, and after knocking open this nameless palace, regardless of the old maids in the courtyard who were busy washing clothes, after looking around, they said loudly: "This is the place where things are in charge. Who is it? The Ministry of Internal Affairs came to investigate the roster of palace maids!"

Rongshui was dressed as an eunuch at this time, and he was holding his throat when he spoke. In addition, he looked feminine and had no masculine characteristics. At first glance, he really looked like an eunuch, and the person following her Junli kept his head down, like a follower.
After she said this, a woman who looked haggard and weather-stricken stepped forward and asked, "Who are you? Why did the Ministry of Internal Affairs come to check our roster here? Where is your identity badge?"

The woman looked sophisticated, because she had never seen such a young face in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although she didn't have much contact with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she still had some doubts about these two people who came here out of nowhere.

It doesn't look like a straw bag!Rong Shui thought to himself, then calmly untied his token for entering and exiting the palace from his waist, and said to the woman: "Look at what this is."

Then she put it back into her waist in a flash, but even with a flash, the woman could see that it was a token for entering and exiting the palace gate, which is impossible for ordinary eunuchs and maids to get!Unless it is only available to some noble concubines and eunuchs who are favored by the emperor and often go in and out of the palace, having this is a symbol of status!A symbol of power, eunuchs and court ladies would usually back down three points when they saw it.

So the woman immediately kowtowed to admit her mistake, and didn't even dare to ask Rong Shui to take out her identity token, and said quickly: "I offended my father-in-law, it's a servant who doesn't know his identity with a dog's eyes! Please forgive me. It's really because of us here Over the years, no one will visit at all."

She didn't need to say this, Rong Shui knew it when she looked at the thick moss at the door, and it was precisely because of this that Rong Shui believed so firmly that after seeing her palace entry and exit token, this palace lady would never Doubt her.

This is all due to the fact that she had inquired with Xiao Zhuzi about the magical effect of this token for entering and exiting the palace.
So of course I know that this is not an ordinary piece that can be seen casually. So how can the maids here dare to doubt themselves after seeing it?
So Rong Shui graciously followed the maid in charge into the dossier room, and Jun Li also followed behind her step by step, and entered the room together.

Rong Shui looked around at this humble place, and said to the maid: "First take out the roster of the maids you have sent here in the past two years, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will count the number of people in the palace, so there must be no mistakes."

How could the court lady in charge, who had been locked up here for many years, know this? She didn't understand that this sudden visitor made these demands.

But thinking about her token, of course she didn't dare to delay, so she said: "My father-in-law, we have no children here. After the palace people are old and cannot go outside the palace, some of them were sent here Yes. But such cases are not too many, only this book records which palace people were sent here in which year and month."

After she finished speaking, she took out a thin book from a side cabinet. It seemed that it was indeed as she said, very few people in the palace lived here to provide for the elderly.

But this did not explain any problem. She took the book and started to read it. There were really not many names on the few pages, and the palace she came from did not see Fenglan Palace at all. name!

So could it be that the news they got was wrong?what is this else.?Rong Shui turned his head to look at Junli behind him, he obviously also discovered this problem, the people in the Queen's Palace couldn't be found here!
Rong Shui calmed down, and then said to them: "Is there really only such a book?"

The palace lady was taken aback, but quickly said: "Of course there is only this one. Does this little eunuch know the situation here? There are only a few helpless old people throughout the year."

Rong Shui observed her attitude, and felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't tell.

The maid insisted that there was only this one account, even if it was a question, she didn't say anything. What else can I do?They can't just give up like this.
So Rong Shui said again: "I was ordered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate, do you really think I'm easy to fool? It was only two years ago?. Didn't a group of old people retire from the Queen's Palace? What about the cronies around her and the maids who waited on her? What's the matter, are they all taken out of the palace?"

The maid was a little stunned, she didn't expect Rong Shui to ask such a question. He dared to take care of the affairs of the queen's palace?
But he still replied truthfully: "Little eunuch, a group of people in the Queen's Palace did retreat two years ago, but didn't they all die of the plague? This is unlucky, so we won't record it. Yes, why don’t you know, Eunuch?”

Rong Shui knew that the maid was testing her, so he said frankly: "That is! I used to work in other places, how did I know these things? But, you said that all of them died of the plague? Are you sure?"

Rong Shui's explanation did not arouse the maid's suspicion, so she could only continue to answer honestly: "The little eunuch is working in another place! That's why I have to know these things. What happened in the past two years is indeed true. It's also a bit weird, obviously more than a dozen court ladies and eunuchs have withdrawn from the Queen's Palace, how could they know that they were all infected with the plague just a few days after they came out, so they were all isolated, and it didn't take long for all of them to die. Passed away, there is indeed no one alive.”

In other words, how could the queen let her subordinates out?That is to say, how is it possible that her diabolical and cruel methods really did such a thing.
What kind of plague, what kind of infection. This is a way to make it clear that the queen wants to kill people!The old man who had been under her for decades couldn't get a good death when she was old. Instead, because the queen was worried that the secret she had kept for so many years would be leaked out, she ruthlessly got rid of it and made it fast?

Such trust no longer made Rong Shui feel chilled, she glanced at Junli, and knew that he thought of the Queen's trick together with her.
So it is impossible to try to find the palace man who was left behind? .According to her style of conduct, how could anyone be left with an opportunity?

When both of them were disappointed, they also planned to leave. This road won't work, so they can only give up here.

Who knew that at this moment the court lady was talking to herself again: "So, I seem to remember. Among the court ladies beside the Empress, there seem to be one or two people who are still alive."

Rong Shui immediately became excited, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Really?! Who are they? Where are they now?!"

As if grasping at the last hope of a new chapter, both of them were so nervous. It was clearly impossible, but there was an unexpected turning point.

The maid was just wondering why the two father-in-laws in the House of Internal Affairs were so interested in the past so long, but she said softly because she couldn't offend them: "These two people said they are alive. But it was not so good. A slightly younger person was already suffering from insanity. He was in a daze all day long. He was taken back by his family. I was quarantined with everyone, but in the end, I suddenly became dumb. I couldn’t say anything, and I was diagnosed as not suffering from the plague, so I was sent back to the queen’s palace. Finally, the old man beside the queen, Even Ling Niang is probably in her fifties now, but she has made up her mind to stay by the Queen's side forever, and the Queen will take care of her until the end of her life."

After finishing talking like this, both of them have a number in their hearts. At present, there are a total of three people who can start with it.
According to the three people in the palace lady's speech, the first one was insane because of suffering from insanity. Although she was insane, the queen thought that there was nothing wrong, so even if she came out to identify her, no one would believe a madman's words.

There is also a mute who returned to Fenglan Palace. Maybe it was because she couldn't speak or write anything, so she let it go.

As for the last one, generally speaking it is the most unlikely. Ling Niang?So who is the Queen's most trusted person?She was not even allowed to go out of the palace to provide for the elderly, but stayed in her Fenglan Palace, personally caring for her to see the end of the relationship. It can be seen that it is not ordinary. From this person's point of view, the possibility is almost equal to zero.

But is there nothing they can do now?That's not the case, maybe start with the dumb lady in the queen's palace or the crazy lady outside the palace
Although it sounds like they don't have the possibility and credibility to testify at all. But at least at this time, they should give it a try!

After thinking about it, Rong Shui pretended to be an eunuch, and said: "Okay, today we are secretly checking the number of people in the palace, so you don't need to say anything, do you hear me?"

As she spoke, she shook the token around her waist, so the maid immediately knelt down in fright, and said, "Yes! Yes! I understand, Eunuch, so I dare not go out and make a fuss."

That's why Rong Shui and Jun Li left here, and after they came out, they changed into their regular clothes and left the palace. Fortunately, the maid just now had never seen the world and was not prepared enough, so she didn't have any doubts about the identities of the two of them. .

It's just that the most important things to think about now are not those. Rongshui knows that what they should do now is to try to find the two people they just learned about. This is their only clue. A clue that must never be given up.
