Chapter 701 Four Elephants Are Eight, Two 86, At Least Four People Will Die
After a moment of daze, Liu Wei turned her gaze back to the list, stroked the curls at the corners of the paper with her fingers, and asked after a while, "Are you sure?"

Eunuch Hang looked at Liu Wei with a very ugly expression: "Naturally!"

In this way, things become easier.

Whether it's Princess Qinyang, or the people in the palace who died one after another in strange ways, their deaths all have explanations.

But, who dares to report this matter to the upmost?
The case of Princess Yuping was already complicated and confusing. From Princess Yuping's disappearance in the palace, to her tragic death outside the palace, to her body being brought back to the palace, and to her mysterious disappearance again, this series of strange incidents have been widely circulated in the imperial city. cause panic.

Now Princess Qinyang's death is actually related to Princess Yuping.

What is this Princess Yuping going to do?Or, what is someone doing with Princess Yuping?
Eunuch Hang was silent for a long time, but when he spoke again, he was pleading: "My lord, this matter..."

"I will report this matter to the emperor." Liu Wei said one step ahead of his father-in-law.

Eunuch Hang shook his head: "No, this matter cannot be reported to the public. Miscellaneous people say this for the good of your lord. The emperor has a lot of scruples about the case of Princess Yuping. Now that he knows that this case is like a snowball, it is getting bigger and bigger. If you want to solve the case, there will be a lot of involvement, and Longyan will be furious. At that time, not only the miscellaneous family and the adults, but also other people involved in this matter will be hard to get rid of."

Eunuch Hang said, looked around, made sure that the partition wall had no ears, and then said: "At present, only the adults and the miscellaneous family know about this matter. Later, the miscellaneous family will order to find a palace man who has made a mistake, and put this The case is settled, and at that time, as long as adults come forward to speak, we can make this big thing into a small one, and the small things into nothing, wouldn't everyone be happy..."

"Eunuch Hang is wrong." Liu Wei looked at the old and cunning eunuch indifferently, and said calmly: "It's a trivial matter to find someone to take the blame, but now, not counting those seven people, there are only ten people who are really offering sacrifices." Two people. Four elephants belong to eight, two 86. If I guess correctly, at least four more people will die in the next few days. But we only know that the murderer is targeting the fourth palace of Puxiang Palace object, but we don’t know what kind of sacrifice he offered, that is to say, we are not sure whether the murderer will be satisfied after killing sixteen people. Also, the old people who came out of Puxiang Palace must not only be the one who died Seven people, so what about the others? Will they be killed one after another? If we close the case hastily and the murderer continues to commit crimes afterwards, how should the emperor explain it? Is Eunuch Hang trying to take the crime of deceiving the emperor and be implicated?"

When Liu Wei said this, Eunuch Hang's face turned pale in fright, and he gritted his teeth in a moment of anger, but he had no choice but to say, "Then what should I do?"

Liu Wei was silent for a while, and said: "I will definitely be able to submit to the superior, but the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and it is still unknown whether he will be free to see me."

Eunuch Hang was taken aback, and quickly looked at Liu Wei: "Master Liu is saying..."

Liu Wei said: "Eunuch Hang and Xiao Qizi seem to be very familiar, so obviously they are also familiar with other people in Yuqian."

It's so clear, if Eunuch Hang still doesn't understand, he will spend his whole life in the palace in vain.

Eunuch Hang nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency is really resourceful."

Liu Wei didn't reply.

Eunuch Hang did what he said, and someone in the palace used a map to make sacrifices to the dead. This matter is no small matter.

When Eunuch Hang knew about it, he immediately asked to see the emperor.

But Qi Fu, the great eunuch next to the emperor, stopped Eunuch Hang, saying that the emperor was summoning cabinet ministers to discuss state affairs.

Eunuch Hang had no choice but to wait outside.

But after waiting the whole afternoon, he still didn't see the emperor.

Without further ado, the murderer is very likely to continue committing crimes. After hesitating again and again, Eunuch Hang finally submitted a document report, explaining the sacrifice, and stopped waiting. Instead, he returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and continued to investigate the case.

But Eunuch Hang didn’t know that the document report handed over was placed in front of the imperial court by the little eunuch serving in front of the imperial court, but because the emperor was busy with government affairs and there were too many memorials on the imperial case, someone accidentally touched his document Under the table, no one found it until the case was solved.

After finishing everything, Eunuch Hang stuffed a bag of money for the little eunuch who was helping him, and then returned to the House of Internal Affairs with a sigh of relief.

In the study of the House of Internal Affairs, Liu Wei was still there. As soon as Eunuch Hang returned, he said that the matter was finished.

Liu Wei hummed without raising her head, and said, "According to the previous deaths of a total of 19 people, the murderer's next attack should be at midnight tonight, and the place of the crime should be Princess Xinluo's. Mengxiang Palace."

This speculation is not sure whether it is right or wrong, but Eunuch Hang still believes in Liu Wei.

No way, he figured it out, if it weren't for Mrs. Liu, this case would never be solved for the rest of his life, and as the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if the harem has always been so restless, then his incompetent title is good luck If you don't, you will just be removed. If you are unlucky, you may have to apologize with death and your head will fall to the ground.

Therefore, after the two parties got entangled, Eunuch Hang decided that no matter what Master Liu said or did, he would just listen to him.

Anyway, relying on Master Liu to solve the case, relying on himself, I am afraid that there is no hope at all.

Because he wanted to stay in Mengxiang Palace and wait for a rabbit, he naturally had to tell the head of the family that Princess Xinluo was still young, so Empress Li was the one to discuss.

Liu Wei is a "foreigner", so naturally he is not allowed to ask to see him.

So it was Eunuch Hang's job to convince Concubine Li. Eunuch Hang was indeed an old man in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. With a few words, he settled the matter.

In fact, Eunuch Hang didn't say that he would come here to catch the murderer, but he just said that he knew that someone died in Mengxiang Palace, and he was afraid that Princess Xinluo would follow in the footsteps of Princess Qinyang. The palace is patrolling, so tonight, there may be many strangers in Mengxiang Palace, but don't be afraid, they are all here to protect Princess Xinluo.

Concubine Li's status is low, her own daughter had an accident, and she naturally wished for the attention of the chief steward of the House of Internal Affairs.

He thanked Eunuch Hang repeatedly, and immediately ordered the people in Mengxiang Palace to go out less tonight, and more than half of them should stay in Princess Xinluo's room to guard him.

It's night, everything is quiet.

Everything seems to be ready.

Liu Wei was sitting in a side hall sponsored by Concubine Li, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, and asked Mr. Hang beside him, "Have you not returned yet?"

Eunuch Hang knew what Liu Wei was talking about, so he said, "It's probably coming soon, but the miscellaneous people don't understand. Didn't your lord say that the less people know about this, the better? Too many people know, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble, but why..."

"Why are you looking for the father-in-law?"

Eunuch Hang nodded. He really didn't understand. He had made thorough preparations for tonight, but when the matter came to an end, Master Liu suddenly had a whim and said that he would find Eunuch Xiang.
