"This... I'm afraid it's not very good." Eunuch Zhang hesitated, "Those people have heard it, it was given to you by the gods in a dream."
"The gods also said in the dream that this credit cannot be attributed to me, so please do me a favor as father-in-law!
No matter what someone says, I will bear witness and will not embarrass my father-in-law. "
"Little girl, what's your name? You gave me such a great contribution, I will definitely remember your favor." Eunuch Zhang thought about this matter several times in his mind and felt that he could accept it.
"Father-in-law, you are a compassionate person. In this case, I would like to ask for a favor from you," Xue Hengzhao said.
"Say it." Eunuch Zhang responded.
"There is an father-in-law named Shi Dianjin here, and his master, Eunuch She. If possible, please ask the father-in-law to support them both. Thank you very much, Hengzhao, for being here." Xue Hengzhao finished speaking and bowed.
"Easy to say, easy to say," Eunuch Zhang nodded and smiled, "I've always known how to reciprocate kindness."
Xue Hengzhao didn't want any benefits for himself, but he remembered the care Shi Dianjin and his apprentice had given them.
There will be chaos in the yard for a while, but Xue Hengzhao no longer cares about it.
She was very sleepy now and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Back in the house, Chi Su grabbed Xue Hengzhao and asked, "What on earth is going on? How do you know there is something in that well?"
"Don't ask me these questions yet, let me get some sleep!" Xue Hengzhao got into the quilt after saying that.
When she opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the sun.
Chi Su squatted beside the bed, his face facing her, very close to her.
"What are you doing?" Xue Hengzhao frowned, "It's scary."
"Are you scared too?" Chi Su said in surprise, "This is really a new and strange news."
Xue Hengzhao ignored her teasing and stood up slowly.
"Miss, the food is ready, please come and enjoy it!" Chi Su pulled her to the table with a smile, "I asked them to bring it later, knowing that you have to get up late."
"It's almost noon," Xue Hengzhao looked outside and said, "I have indeed slept for a long time."
"Let me tell you! Qian Sanchun threw himself into a well and died." Although Chi Su had lowered his voice, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his tone.
"Town into a well? Isn't anyone watching him?" Xue Hengzhao was calm, neither surprised nor annoyed.
"It's not the well in Miwuyuan," Chi Su said, "it's the well at the back of his own yard. On weekdays, he only uses the water in that well to make tea."
It turned out that after the incident in Miwuyuan was exposed, Qian Sanchun got the letter and knew that he would not recover.
He knew that if he was put on trial, his life would definitely be worse than death.
What's more, there are too many people involved here, and it doesn't matter if he recruits them or not.
So he simply committed suicide.
Since ancient times, people who jump into rivers can be saved, but those who jump into wells are unlikely to survive.
Because the well mouth is narrow, people cannot go down to rescue, so they can only throw ropes or buckets down.
If a person who falls into a well is determined to die and refuses to save himself, he will definitely die.
"His death has given some people an advantage." Xue Hengzhao sneered, "Those people can put all the blame on him."
"That's their dog-eating-dog thing," Chi Su curled his lips disdainfully and said, "For me, that's enough. Qian Quail is dead, Deng Bao and the others are in custody, and no one will make things difficult for me anymore."
Then she looked at Xue Hengzhao solemnly and said: "Hengzhao, you saved me in this matter. It is a great kindness to me. From now on, as long as I live one day, I will always remember it.
In the future, if you have any use for me, as long as you open your mouth, I will go through mountains of swords and seas of fire. "
"Why bother? I'm just trying to save myself." Xue Hengzhao said, "You don't have to be so grateful to me. If it was just you who encountered such a thing, I wouldn't reach out."
"You seem to be prone to crimes against others," Chi Su ignored her, "Even if it's what you said, you still saved me after all.
You are my benefactor here, I don’t care about the rest! "
"Then it's up to you!" Xue Hengzhao stopped talking and started eating his meal slowly.
After she finished eating, Chi Su poured her a glass of water to rinse her mouth with and said with a smile, "Now you have had enough sleep and eaten enough. Maybe you can tell me what's going on?"
"What do you want to know?" Xue Hengzhao asked, wiping the corners of his lips gently with a handkerchief.
"I can make a rough guess about everything else, but I don't understand how you knew there was something in that well? I didn't sleep all night last night, just thinking about this." Chi Su came closer, shaking her arm and asked .
"Actually, I have been suspicious of this place for a long time because I don't believe that there is really any haunted house in this world.
Which palace is free from death? There are so many people who were wronged and died violently because of Liu Guiren's injustice. Why don't we see other palaces being haunted?
By the time we got here, my suspicions had grown.
The cleaning here is extraordinarily diligent, which is of course abnormal.
Since no one lives here anymore, and no one will come here, there is only one reason for cleaning it carefully every day, and that is to cover up certain traces.
This place is adjacent to the Fourth Division and the Eighth Bureau. After Liu Guiren is gone, this place will be completely under their control.
Of course, turning this place into a haunted house would not be just to scare people.
You must know that they have many ways to punish people, so they can't afford to go to such trouble.
So I thought they must have some other purpose in making this place so that no one dares to approach it.
Of course they are not trying to drive anyone away, but they are trying to hide something or something.
When I was talking to Eunuch Shi a few days ago, I learned that something had been lost in the palace.
I then thought that this place was actually an excellent hiding place. Since it was under their jurisdiction, it would be difficult for other people to come here.
Eunuch Shi also said that the two most dangerous places in the courtyard were the main hall and the well.
The main hall is probably not a place for them to hide things, because it is too eye-catching and can easily leave traces.
That well is more suitable because its location is very hidden. And because two people had died in succession, most people didn't dare to approach it.
Hide the things inside and put a stone slab on top. It can be as tight as you want.
It can also prevent some people from stealing it, because the stone slab cannot be moved without people.
When there is a suitable opportunity, a few of them will work together to move the stone slab, or divide the spoils on the spot, or take them out of the palace to divide them. "
"So that's it. You're too thoughtful, but I wonder why they didn't just take him out of the palace in the first place?" Chi Su asked again.
"Maybe it was to avoid the limelight, maybe because it was dark under the lights, or even because there was no time to divide the spoils, so I had to think of a compromise." Xue Hengzhao said, "If he is the last one, Qian Sanchun must have something else. An accomplice, and that accomplice is not in the palace at this time."
