The list given by ah Chou involved several servants in the palace, including the little Eunuch in the Queen's palace, the maid in the imperial concubine's palace, and even mammy Fang around the emperor.

Li Rusu was worried that the list of so many suspects could not be based on speculation alone, and it was not good to call for interrogation one by one. In case the other party destroyed the evidence, the list would be abolished.

After thinking about it, Lu Li patted his head: "yes, Xiao lingdang's nose is very clever. Let it show its magic power."

Li Rusu didn't understand, but Lu Li quickly called Han Changfeng and asked him to take the people's clothes, and let Xiao lingdang smell them one by one. Then he suddenly realized it and said with a smile, "thanks to you, but is this OK?"

"Have you forgotten what happened last time?"

With a smile in his eyes, Lu Li stretched out his hand and nodded on xiaolingdang's nose.

A few days ago, Lu Li couldn't find a pair of boots. Just when he asked his servants to look everywhere, Xiao lingdang jumped out from under the bed, pulled Lu Li's corner and pulled it inside. Sure enough, he found the boots.

Although this method is not appropriate, if xiaolingdang can't find out, he won't scare the snake. Li Rusu has to be a living horse as a dead horse doctor.

Han Changfeng's action was still very fast. He took the personal belongings of the people on the list and let Xiao lingdang smell them one by one. Only then did Li Rushu come forward and summon those people in her small yard in the name of summoning the servants of the palace to discuss affairs.

Since she came to power, she has called the palace people to discuss affairs. At first, everyone was not surprised. After she came, she still talked about trifles with each other in her room. Pomegranate made tea for the people, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Xiao lingdang was in Li Rusu's arms. She took advantage of the gap between talking to the people and walked back and forth in the crowd, focusing on staying around a few people on the list for a while.

There was a smile on her face, but it didn't reach the bottom of her eyes. She was nervous and felt the action of the little thing in her arms at any time, like an arrow that would leave the string at any time.

"Squeak!"

When Li Rushu came to the maid ru'er, Xiao lingdang suddenly came out of her arms and squeaked at her. Her sharp mouth was directed at ru'er, looking very worried.

Ru'er was startled. He immediately stepped back for several steps, turned pale and said, "female officer li... You... This little thing is too scary..."

Li Rushu quickly eased from the tense state. At the moment, she looked indifferent, smiled at the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "it's frightening miss ruer. Let's disperse first. Miss ruer will stay and have a cup of tea first to calm down."

Her tone was deep and her eyes were deep. Lu Li, who sat drinking tea not far away, looked appreciative and quietly extended a thumb to the little bell.

When the crowd dispersed, ruer's face was still pale. She looked at the direction of the gate and said, "female officer Li, I'm fine offline. You're also very busy. I'd better go back."

She said she was about to go out, but pomegranate moved her step and occupied the position at the door.

Lu Li got up and said, "it's OK to go back. Come with me first."

He has discussed with Li Rusu that if he really catches the suspect, he will try it. First, he has served in the criminal department and is familiar with the trial. Second, Li Rusu's yard is inconvenient and people come and go too conspicuous.

Li Rusu looked at him deeply and told him to be careful, so he took the pomegranate and Pipa to the palaces.

Today, she called the people to discuss the matter. Of course, she didn't come up with a reason. If ruer was really related to the cold palace case, her accomplices would certainly arouse vigilance. She asked Lu Li to take people away. She could cover it up if she walked around as usual.

Most of the day passed, and Lu Li didn't send a letter. Li Rusu only knew that he took people to the darkroom of the Ministry of punishment, but he felt uneasy and always felt that things were not very good.

It was getting dark, and there was still no news there. Li Rushu couldn't help going out and wanted to go to the Ministry of punishment to see the situation. Unexpectedly, he met a person as soon as he went out.

The visitor was Han Changfeng. He ran so fast that he almost collided with Li Rusu. He stopped his steps and said in a hurry: "female official Li is not good. The master has something to do with him."

"Clang."

With a sound, Li Rushu's hand directly supported on the door frame. The jade bracelet on her wrist collided with the edge of the door frame, making a sound and hitting her heart.

Soon, there was a eunuch passing by. Several people said as they walked, and walked quickly towards the dark room of the Ministry of punishment.

"These six Highnesses are too careless. They tried people to death without going through the lobby of the Ministry of justice. Alas..."

"Who said not? The palace girl's teeth were broken. It can be seen that she was tortured. No wonder the emperor was angry."

Listening to their voices, Li Rushu suddenly turned back and asked Han Changfeng, "Lu Li has a homicide on his back?"

Han Changfeng lowered his eyes and was very unwilling. He clenched his fist tightly and said, "it must have been planted by someone. It's like a hard mouth. When she tried the case, her words were full of loopholes. The master just asked someone to beat her ten boards. She said she was boring. She had to eat first before she admitted. The master locked her up. Who knows, she'll die if she goes in again."

Li Rushu stops Han Changfeng from saying that she has understood that Lu Li has been calculated.

However, their trial of the case was conducted secretly, and only a few of the Ministry of punishment knew who had leaked the news, and could the other party kill ru'er in such a short time?

Without time to think about it, she and Han Changfeng quickly came to the Ministry of punishment and sent a message that the eunuch had conveyed the will. At this time, they just came out and saw her. They stopped and said, "female officer Li came just in time. You must have heard about it. The emperor said that you and your highness six participated in the matter together. Although you haven't tried the case and treated the dead, you can't meet your highness now."

Li Rushu frowned and asked coldly, "what will your father-in-law convey? Will the emperor ban his highness? "

Duke Li nodded, eased his expression and said, "you'd better listen to me. The emperor is angry. Don't hit a nail."

Although Li Rushu was anxious, she also knew that Grandpa Li was right. She didn't break in, but turned back to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the maidservant and servant guarantee with their family and life. His highness Liu didn't kill the palace maid. He tried the case for the sake of the cold palace. He was afraid of the spread of the matter. He really deceived the people in the palace. Only when innocent people were on guard did he carry out it in the dark room."

"Now people are dead, and they were tortured before they died. He was the one who tried them. What else do you say about such a clear torture?" The emperor was very angry. In his impression, Lu Li had always been a gentle son. He didn't expect such a thing to happen to him.

In fact, his anger had nothing to do with the death of the palace maid, but his anger after being shocked that he was out of control of his son.
