Chapter 295 Clues
Shen Yue nodded with a serious expression, "The one who died this time was the little eunuch who served in front of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace."

Serving by the prince's side?Rumors say that Yinggui is seeking revenge on those who killed her.Ye Xinyi naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, saying it was haunted, but it was just a pretense of people talking about it.But is the purpose of the person behind this really to avenge the nobleman Ying?Or is there some other bigger conspiracy?

The four people who died were all eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Die'er was served by Princess Zhaoning's side, and the second one was an old eunuch who had no job and spent all day in Nansan Sanyuan.The third one is an ordinary old maid from the Huanyi Bureau, and now this one is the little eunuch next to the prince. Is there any connection among these people?

"Your Majesty was furious and ordered Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to conduct a thorough investigation, and Jin Yiwei to supervise. Dali Temple ordered Xie Ming, the Ministry of Criminal Justice ordered Song Zeyuan, but Jin Yiwei ordered me."

Shen Yue's expression was calm, but Ye Xinyi's brows and eyes were startled.It stands to reason that this is a matter of the inner palace, and it should be investigated by Gong Zhengsi, and it is impossible for the Criminal Ministry and Dali Temple to take over. What's more, Jin Yiwei is also responsible.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to." As expected by Shen Yue, the position of Minister of Criminal Affairs was vacant, and Xie Ming, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Song Zeyuan, Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Justice, were the most likely candidates for the position.Behind Xie Ming is the residence of the Marquis of Zhenguo, while Song Zeyuan was born as a poor scholar, but he entered the Imperial Academy as the number one scholar, and then entered the six divisions. It is said that he is like a god in judging cases.None of them have any family support, so they can almost be regarded as a hand in hand with the emperor, but Shen Yue is a guard in Jinyi, who only obeys the emperor's orders, while Song Zeyuan is a scholar, a noble scholar, but he also likes to form a group, so it can't be said that he is in private He has already worshiped as a teacher, even if he didn't, if he can become the servant of the Ministry of punishment this time, someone will naturally want to recruit him.

Emperor Ganhe kept all the papers about recommending candidates for the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and did not express his position. Could it be that he wanted to use this case to test these two people?
So what's the matter with Shen Yue?

Ye Xinyi didn't care who could get the position of Minister of Justice, she just looked at Shen Yue, and couldn't hide the worry in her eyes.

Shen Yue smiled, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and sighed, "I didn't want to tell you, but if I didn't tell you, I'm afraid you'd be even more cranky?"

Ye Xinyi frowned, "Say it!"

Shen Yue's expression was slightly restrained, "I'm afraid Xue Nan has disappeared."

Xue Nan had quietly left the capital more than ten days ago, and the reason for it was naturally to do the errand with the emperor's favorite Shen Yue earlier.

But missing?Ye Xinyi thought for a while, "What kind of job is it?"

Shen Yue was silent, and finally lowered his voice and said, "The spies from the south reported Xia Changhe secretly raising a private army, and he has the heart of disobedience. Your Majesty has always been afraid of Xia's family, why didn't he investigate?"

Xia Changhe?It's actually related to the Xia family?
Ye Xinyi couldn't help being startled, and it took a while before she regained her composure, "Xue Nan is missing at this time, and His Majesty's suspicions will only increase."

Who said no?Shen Yue sighed.

"Then why does His Majesty let you intervene in this case at this time?" Ye Xinyi was really uneasy, and couldn't help but reached out and grabbed Shen Yue's arm tightly.

Shen Yue felt that the old god was there, and he held her cold sweat with his backhand. He held his cold hand in his palm, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled sweetly. Just cover it up."

He spoke lightly, as if he had a plan in his chest, but he vividly expressed the calmness of Mount Tai's collapse without changing his face, but Ye Xinyi couldn't be as calm and calm as he was, lying on the bed at night, amidst the heat. , more irritable, tossing and turning, difficult to sleep.

In the end, Shen Yue frowned, clasped her tightly in his arms with his backhand, and warned her that if she didn't sleep well, he wouldn't let her sleep, so she froze and forced herself to close her eyes.

She was sure that she liked him. They were husband and wife, but now that they were moved, it would be fine if they wanted to take that step.But she was still a little apprehensive. Thinking of that incident, she felt even more embarrassing. Shen Yue had been in the Fusi of Beizhen for so long, and he was really impatient with his ability to read people's hearts. .

Ye Xinyi really didn't dare to move anymore. Although she closed her eyes, she still couldn't help thinking wildly, but hearing the strong and steady heartbeat in his chest, surrounded by his breath, she unconsciously calmed down, and finally He fell asleep in a daze.

She fell asleep, but she couldn't sleep now, but Shen Yue was replaced.

This beloved girl is in his arms, but he can't touch it, Shen Yue is really painful and happy.He gritted his teeth, pushed the sleeping Ye Xinyi out of his arms, turned over, and lay down on his back, a little further away from her.

He took a deep breath, and after a while, he gradually calmed down.

Turning his head to look at Ye Xinyi's peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't help but smile wryly, that's all, this patience is almost golden, what can't bear it?
But if she can sleep peacefully, it's all worth it.

The bitterness in the smile faded away, his eyes softened into puddles of water, he simply turned over and lay on his side, propping his head with his arms, just looking at her like this, it took an unknown amount of time before he slowly fell asleep.

Xie Ming and Song Zeyuan have been investigating and solving countless cases since they entered the official position, and they have a lot of experience. The reputation of being a god of solving cases is not in vain. With the intervention of these two adults, progress was made very quickly.

In the previous three cases, the body and relics of the deceased had been cleaned up, so naturally nothing could be found. Although the young eunuch of the East Palace who died just now seemed to have drowned, there was blood on the back of his head. , but covered by hair, it is not obvious. After inspection, it was caused by a blunt instrument before his death.

Although some people raised objections, saying that it cannot be ruled out that it was caused by bumping into a convex rock in the well while falling into the water, but Master Xie immediately dismissed it. Because of the perennial humid environment, the convex rock in the well has moss on it. There should also be found on the ledge, the shade of blood and the hair of the dead.

Mr. Song also agreed with Mr. Xie's opinion, preferring that the deceased was first attacked from behind, hit the back of the head with a blunt instrument, made unconscious, and then was pushed down the well to drown.

However, after the on-site inspection, the blunt weapon used for the murder and other traces proving the existence of the murderer were not found.

However, Xie Ming and Song Zeyuan are not inappropriate, they have their own abilities.

Both of them felt that the three earlier cases were probably inseparable from this one, so they carefully checked the life backgrounds of the four deceased, and found some clues.

"You mean, that old eunuch used to serve by Empress Chen's side?" Ye Xinyi frowned upon hearing Shen Yue's mention.

Shen Yue nodded, "Although she is just a rough envoy and eunuch, she is indeed serving in Kunning Palace. And the old maid from the Huanyi Bureau was serving in Jingren Palace at first, but more than ten years ago, accidentally Broke one of Concubine Xie's valuables. According to the rules, she was going to be killed with a stick. Concubine Xie remembered the old love between master and servant, so she was spared the death penalty, and she was demoted to the Clothes Bureau .”
