Chapter 694 Investigating the case, of course, it is necessary to start immediately

As an old man next to Emperor Qianling, Qi Fu served by his side before Emperor Qianling ascended the throne, and because he had been serving him for a long time, Qi Fu knew better what this token meant.

In fact, this token does not have any great value, but it is of great significance.

When Emperor Qianling was still the fourth prince, the guards who served him were called "Tiger Guards".

With Emperor Qianling's ascension to the throne and the reorganization of the surrounding forces, the Tiger Guards were divided into several parts, some were integrated into the Ministry of War, some were integrated into the Ministry of Punishment, some went to Zhengemen, and some stayed in Da Nei.

After these tiger guards were reassigned, their original positions naturally became the past, and their tiger orders simply became a symbol of the emperor's old man.

However, the saying that the monarch changes and millions of corpses are buried is not a myth.

To be able to survive in the confrontation of strife and power, and to be able to use it again, and to have a skyrocketing value, I think they are all people with extraordinary abilities.

The emperor entrusted these people with important tasks, and these people naturally reciprocated wholeheartedly. In the end, those who could stay were all in high positions, and those who could not be left, even the traces of their existence were wiped out one by one.

In the end, among those who were able to stay, the Tiger Order became significant.

Qi Fu also has a Tiger Token, and the token is still pinned around his waist, but it is not directly exposed, but is sewn inside the sachet.

Qi Fu couldn't help being surprised to see such a familiar token pattern appearing on Liu Wei's body.

In the eyes of Qi Fu, and even all the old Qianling Emperor, the tiger ring represents absolute trust, and it is bought with time and merit.

But now, it was so casually tied to a small young man.

Qi Fu couldn't accept it.

Of course, Qi Fu also knew that the badge he was so proud of could not be the existence of a bad street, so it can only explain one point, this is the emperor's preference for Mr. Liu.

He obviously hadn't met him a few times, and he couldn't even see how much the emperor remembered about this person on weekdays, but now he suddenly got such an important token from the emperor, Qi Fu's mood was very complicated for a while, so complicated, and later Liu Wei told him He didn't even pay attention to some pleasantries.

The change in Qi Fu's expression naturally caught Liu Wei's eyes.

Liu Wei looked down at the badge on her waist, a slightly mocking chuckle appeared at the corner of her mouth, and there was a strong contempt in her expression.

With such a close relationship with Rong Leng, how could Liu Wei not know the meaning of this "tiger order"?

To be precise, Rong Leng also has such a tiger order on his body. According to Rong Leng, it is a token to buy people's hearts.

And precisely, Liu Wei also thought so.

Allegiance to the tiger guards and important confidantes are just means to win people's hearts.

It has been said that Emperor Qianling is good at giving both kindness and power, and if he doesn't give you some sweet dates, it makes you feel special, and you don't need your life to do things for him.

This tiger order is useless, except for looking good.

Do you want to use it to enter and leave the palace?Sorry, no.

Do you want to use it to mobilize troops?Sorry, no.

You want to use it to call the shots?Sorry, still not working.

What you want, what you don’t have, what you can’t do, except to give you the illusion of “I am the emperor’s confidant, I am very powerful”, in fact, it has no practical use at all.

But Liu Wei can figure it out, Rong Leng can figure it out, but others don't think so, just like Qi Fu.

Liu Wei felt that Qi Fu's gaze on her was particularly unbalanced now, and she was a little afraid to reveal it, but she couldn't hide her resentment.

Emperor Qianling gave this tiger order today, and Liu Wei understood that it was a tentative, tentative approach.

The reason is still the same, Emperor Qianling hopes that Liu Wei can become his nail, and bring him important information about Rong Leng in the future.

It's just that Qian Lingdi himself probably knew that it probably wouldn't succeed, so after giving the token, he didn't say much, and let her go without saying a word about how "important" this thing was.

Of course, Emperor Qianling might also feel that he was underestimating the importance of this tiger order by emphasizing how important it is, and letting Liu Wei discover it himself, the effect would be doubled.

In short, no matter what the reason is, at least now, Liu Wei believes that with this tiger order, it will be much easier to walk in the palace in the near future.

Qi Fu here, first of all, will give Xing some convenience.

Now that the order of the tiger has been accepted, the investigation of the case must be carried out immediately.

Originally Liu Wei planned to start tomorrow, but for some reason, Qi Fu didn't wait for Liu Wei to say his farewell, so he stepped forward and said: "Princess Qinyang's body is placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is still early, my lord Want to take a look?"

Qi Fu was in such a hurry, Liu Wei wanted to go back to have lunch first, but she was a little bit speechless.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Wei finally nodded and said, "Let my father-in-law lead the way."

But Qi Fu laughed, and said: "I'm sorry for my lord, the miscellaneous family has to serve the emperor, and I can't leave, Xiao Qizi, you can take Master Liu to the House of Internal Affairs..."

The little eunuch in front of Qi Fu immediately leaned over and said obediently: "Yes, Master."

Liu Wei: "..."

It seems that this Eunuch Qi really has a special opinion about her taking the tiger order.

The imperial study room was some distance away from the House of Internal Affairs, and the eunuch named Xiao Qizi walked very slowly. The two detoured countless ways and walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the gate of the House of Internal Affairs.

Xiao Qizi went in and communicated, asking Liu Wei to wait.

As soon as Xiao Qizi went in, it took him a quarter of an hour to go in.

Liu Wei stood outside the door waiting.

This little Qizi is simple-minded, Liu Wei can't see it, Xiao Qizi knows that Master Qi Fu doesn't like her, and he is venting his anger for his master.

Shaking her head slightly, Liu Wei didn't bother with a half-grown child, it just felt like being left to dry, which was really bad.

"Hey, when did the House of Internal Affairs come to have such a handsome little eunuch?" A teasing male voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Liu Wei turned her head subconsciously, and saw the big eunuch with no beard and delicate features, walking towards her with two young eunuchs.

Liu Wei, the attendant on the eunuch's body, recognized at just one glance that it was the same as Qi Fu's, and it was the clothes of a first-class father-in-law. Liu Wei couldn't help but start to speculate about the identity of this person.

This person was also looking at Liu Wei, and when their eyes met, Liu Wei always felt a little familiar when he saw his smiling eyebrows.

"Bold, where did the newcomers come from? Seeing us bowing to the father-in-law, why don't you hurry up and salute?" The young eunuch next to the big eunuch saw that Liu Wei was not moving, so he yelled in his indifferent voice.

Listening to the little eunuch's tone, Liu Wei felt goosebumps arose, and frowned slightly, Liu Wei didn't wear official uniform today, but only ordinary clothes, looking at it, it really looks like she just entered the palace, come on A new eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Just because it looks like it doesn't mean it is, Liu Wei didn't pay any attention to these three people, turned her head calmly, and directly skipped the little eunuch's words.

The little eunuch suddenly became angry, and when he was about to say something again, Eunuch Xiang raised his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "My lord, I don't know what to call you?"

Liu Wei turned her head again, looked at the gentle face of her father-in-law, fell silent for a moment, and then said, "My surname is Liu."

Liu Wei didn't deny the other party's title of "Master", so Eunuch Xiang was also a sensible person, so he cupped his hands and said, "Master Liu."

Liu Wei didn't respond, but agreed.

The little eunuch who spoke rudely to Liu Wei just now was startled, buried his head, and dared not say a word.

Eunuch Xiang didn't say too much to Liu Wei. Obviously, after knowing the identity of the other party, he stopped talking. A former minister appeared in the harem, or outside the House of Internal Affairs. Two princess cases.

And just when Eunuch Xiang passed Liu Wei and was about to enter the gate of the House of Internal Affairs, Xiao Qizi came out inside, bowed and said to Liu Wei: "Lord Liu, please come inside."

Liu Wei gave a "hmm" and walked in front.

When passing by the three father-in-law Xiang, Liu Wei's gaze happened to meet the three of them, and after a brief contact, they passed calmly.

After Liu Wei and Xiao Qizi went in, the little eunuch next to Eunuch Xiang exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Eunuch Qi's little apprentice, Xiao Qizi? Why did you work for Xiao Qizi to accompany that man? What kind of identity is a person?"

Eunuch Xiang pursed his lips, said nothing, and then entered the House of Internal Affairs.

In the hall of the House of Internal Affairs, Eunuch Hang, who was in charge, came out to greet him.

Eunuch Hang originally came to welcome Liu Wei, and I heard that this person was airborne from above to investigate the case of Princess Qinyang, but when he came out, Eunuch Hang saw not only Liu Wei, but also Eunuch Xiang who came in later.

Eunuch Hang was startled, and stepped forward to greet Eunuch Xiang first: "Eunuch Xiang, why are you back? You don't think you'll be back until next year."

"The concubine returns to the palace ahead of time, and the miscellaneous family should follow."

"Is the concubine back to the palace?" Eunuch Hang was surprised, but also a little embarrassed.

Sure enough, Eunuch Xiang immediately said: "Princess Yuping's accident is so important, no one in the House of Internal Affairs notified the empress dowager, and once she returned to the palace, she sent a miscellaneous family to ask, Eunuch Hang, do you have an explanation?"

"This..." Eunuch Hang's heart shuddered when he thought of how the concubine, who believed in gods and Buddhas wholeheartedly, loved Princess Yuping, the jade girl before the Buddha.

Then he said in a full of grievance: "Here, let the father-in-law know that this matter... this matter is really an order from the emperor, ordering me not to disturb the purity of the concubine, this is, this is..."

Raising his hand to the eunuch, he said again: "Princess Yuping is fine, but the empress dowager just returned to Beijing, and she heard that Princess Qinyang also met her. The imperial concubine came out for herself, and the empress dowager heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet made a regulation for the death of the two princesses, so she specially ordered the miscellaneous family to come and ask, if Eunuch Hang is free, the empress dowager will enter the palace in three days, and please invite Eunuch Hang at that time Tell the empress personally."

Eunuch Hang was sweating profusely when he heard this, and then he glanced at Liu Wei next to him, and immediately said: "Eunuch Xiang, this Master Liu was specially ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Princess Qinyang, and Master Liu is as good at solving the case as a god." , extraordinary ability, I don’t know Eunuch Xiang, but I heard that the person who solved the three-year missing child case was this Mrs. Liu. Thinking about it, after three days of work, maybe before the concubine returned to the palace, Princess Qinyang This case has already been solved by Mr. Liu!"

Eunuch Hang spoke very excitedly, Liu Wei listened silently, and then felt that Eunuch Xiang's gaze fell on her.

Liu Wei also turned her head and glanced at her father-in-law.

Eunuch Xiang smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, "So this lord is the one who solved the child's disappearance case a few months ago? The miscellaneous family also heard about your lord's deeds when they were practicing in the temple with the concubine."

Liu Wei nodded slightly, and said modestly: "I dare not do it."

Eunuch Xiang immediately said: "Since the case of Princess Qinyang has been entrusted to Your Excellency, the day of solving the case must be just around the corner. If it is possible, please solve the case within three days, so that the miscellaneous family can return to the Empress Dowager. "

Liu Wei: "..."

With a sneer in her heart, Liu Wei ignored the self-talk to her father-in-law.

Liu Wei only looked at Eunuch Hang, and said: "I was ordered by the Holy Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of the princess. Now, where is the princess's body placed?"

Liu Wei was so straight to the point, Eunuch Hang was also alert, and immediately said: "It's in the cold room, please come to your side, my lord."

Liu Wei followed that Eunuch Hang all the way forward, but when he turned around, he found that Eunuch Xiang was also following him.

Liu Wei frowned slightly again, and looked at the father-in-law Xiang, who smiled at Liu Wei again, and this smile made Liu Wei feel that no matter how he looked at this person, he looked familiar.

Just, where have you seen it?
The so-called cold room is exclusive to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is filled with ice and is specially used to dispose of the corpses of nobles.

Fortunately, it's winter now, but if it's a hot season, and a nobleman in the palace dies of illness or accident, the body should not be desecrated and stored at will before it waits for the auspicious day for burial, so there is this ice room.

In Liu Wei's view, although this ice room is only prepared for the nobles in the palace, it basically has the same function as the modern morgue.

In fact, in Qujiang Mansion, Liu Wei also asked Fu Zichen to repair a real morgue.

It's just that in summer, ice is hard to find, so this mortuary is a bit of a misnomer, it's just a slightly colder room with a few stone beds.

After entering the ice room, Liu Wei discovered that this imperial palace is the imperial palace, and the bed where the corpses are stored is actually made of whole jade. Although it is not a good jade, jade is cold, so it is naturally much better than stone for storing corpses.

But at this moment, on the jade bed in the middle, there was a female corpse covered with a white cloth. In this cold space, a strange yin energy oozes out.

The little eunuch who was following Eunuch Xiang was a little scared, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a low voice, "There are... no ghosts here, right?"

When the little eunuch said this, everyone looked at him.

That little Qizi was obviously a little scared, but considering that he was walking in front of the imperial court, he couldn't be too cowardly, so he stiffened his head again and said deliberately: "Ridiculous! Only the body of Princess Qinyang is here, and I am dignified Qingyun Dynasty!" Princess, how could it be possible to become a ghost?"

Although Xiao Qizi said so, he hid secretly behind Liu Wei and rubbed his arms quietly with his hands. Although his movements were subtle, Liu Wei still saw it.

Shaking her head, Liu Wei ignored the nonsense of these people, stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.
