late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 43
"You don't dare, but the queen mother said that the slave has contributed to Sushun's affairs and needs to be extra rewarded." An Dehai smiled brazenly, his sneaky eyes kept rolling on Yixin's finger.

"Why, you want my finger?" Yi Xin shook the finger, completely dismissive of An Dehai.

An Dehai hurriedly smiled and knelt down, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

Although he said he didn't dare, his eyes never left Yixin's fingers.

"Don't dare to get out of here immediately!" Yi Xin yelled sharply, causing An Dehai to tremble in fright.

"Your servant will leave now!" An Dehai hurriedly withdrew, with a look of unwillingness clearly flashing across his eyes.

I saw it clearly, but my face was still expressionless. After An Dehai withdrew, I said leisurely, "Sixth Lord, what do you think about this An Dehai?"

"A dog slave! It's not worth mentioning!" Yi Xin was very dismissive, and didn't take An Dehai seriously at all.

I shook my head lightly, and said with a smile, "Sixth Master, don't forget, this An Dehai is now the chief eunuch, and he has won the trust of the Queen Mother. Now he has made an enmity with you, and he is very concerned about our future plans." It's not good."

"You're right, so what do you think I should do?" Yixin asked me.

From the looks of it, Yixin has a lot of trust in me now, the first step in cooperation is trust, and it will be easier to talk about it later.

"Arbitrarily charge me with any crime, and kick An Dehai out of the palace directly." I suggested.

In fact, I was saving his life, otherwise, he would not be able to escape the end of his life.

"Okay! This matter is according to what Brother Zhongzheng said, but as for what crime to charge him with, you have to think carefully about it." Yixin said, and began to think.

"Sixth Master, we are just investigating the case now, just charge him with any crime, just coax him out of the palace, there is no need to kill them all."

"Forget it, An Dehai is just a slave. According to what Brother Zhongzheng said, he will be charged with any crime at that time." Yi Xin waved his hand, not paying attention at all, "Let's take a look at this case."

Yixin picked up the brochure, and looked through it carefully, "These maids are all from different palaces, and they are all between sixteen and sixteen. There are more than twenty people in total."

"So, it shouldn't be the revenge we just said." I interjected.

"It looks like this, and it looks more like a witchcraft." Yixin analyzed.

"Master Liu, let me take a look at the booklet." I reached out and took the booklet from Yixin, and flipped through a few pages, "This An Dehai, after all, nothing has been found out!"

Except for the basic situation of those court ladies, there is nothing else in the brochure.

"A eunuch, what do you expect him to find out!" Yi Xin snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain.

I smiled lightly and jokingly said, "Master Liu, it's not necessarily true, maybe it's because he sincerely doesn't want to find out anything!"

"Thank you for thinking it out." Yixin also shook her head and laughed, "But, seriously, Zhongzheng, what do you think of this case?"

"The Forbidden City is heavily guarded. No one can unknowingly transport those maids out of the palace in such a short period of time. Therefore, those palace ladies must still be in the palace!"

"Although the palace is big, there are guards everywhere. It is not easy to hide so many people at once."

"Sixth Master, don't worry, since the other party has made such a big commotion, they will definitely leave some clues. We only need to go to the various palaces to inquire carefully, and we will definitely gain something!"

Although I still don't know the purpose of the people behind the scenes, but if they kidnap so many court ladies at once, they will definitely leave a loophole, and the person who dares to be so presumptuous in the Forbidden City must not be an ordinary person.

After lunch, Yixin and I began to explore the various palaces, and it took only one afternoon to visit all the palaces.

"Hehe, Zhongzheng, I really admire you more and more!" Yixin praised me as she walked.

"Where, it's just a trick." I greeted politely.

In fact, what I really want to say is that I am grateful to Detective Conan for giving me unlimited experience and inspiration in investigating cases.

"Now we have basically confirmed that all those maids went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation before they disappeared. However, the Hall of Mental Cultivation is now where the emperor and the two empress dowagers live. I'm afraid we can't let our hands and feet investigate the case! "Yixin was a little worried.

"Yeah, so, Liu Ye, we must not startle the snake now. If this matter has something to do with the people in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, we may already be under the surveillance of others."

I was also a little nervous, after all, this is the Forbidden City, and those few casual words are enough for the two of us. It seems that this matter is much more complicated than I imagined.

"Let's go back first."

Yi Xin glanced around, his expression suddenly darkened, I guessed that he must have seen someone.

When we returned to Shouchun Palace, it was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun covered the ancient palace walls, which made me feel like a lifetime away. If I changed history today, wouldn’t the eight-year war of resistance and the four The civil war in [-], and the subsequent wars to resist US aggression and aid Korea, the Soviet Union, Vietnam, and India.

I know in my heart that my country is not willing to fight, but every time someone forces you to fight, if you don't fight, you will be insulted and become the real "sick man of East Asia".

The motherland is under our feet, we have no choice!

Therefore, only if the current motherland is strong, so many soldiers and innocent people will not be sacrificed later, so that the children and grandchildren can live a peaceful life.

In the evening, I went to the elder monk and told him what happened during the day.

"You can't even figure out such a simple thing, you're so stupid!" The old monk said with contempt on his face.

I was depressed, the old man didn't hit me, did he feel uncomfortable and panicked, "Then tell me, what's going on!"

"Why should I tell you! I can't even figure out such a simple thing. I'm so dazed. I chose a stupid boy like you!" The old monk shook his head and sighed as he said, as if he had missed a hundred times. .

"Hmph, I don't think you know it yourself, you're just bragging about me!" I deliberately looked disdainful, forcing the monk to tell the truth.

The old monk smiled and shook his head, with a clear expression on his face, "Boy, if you want to play aggressive martial arts with your grandpa monk, you have to go back to the furnace and practice for another thousand or eight hundred years!"
