Qiu He, the eunuch and eunuch of the original palace supervisor, tried hard to open his eyes. His disheveled hair obscured his vision. He couldn't see clearly who was on the other side. He could only feel a breath approaching, and he could even hear the sound of sniffing. Be by your side.
"Gu San Shen, you don't have to waste your efforts. If you want to get more information from me, just dream."
Qiu He endured the pain of bruises all over his body and lowered his head weakly.
Gu Sanshen sat on the chair and said calmly: "Your status as an internal prisoner is not enough to get the nursing home and the health center to cooperate. There must be a master behind you. Now the Security Bureau has gone to Qiantang to investigate. I believe It won’t be long before you find the answer.”
Qiu He sneered, raised his head suddenly, shook his hair, and said, "Then why do you come here?"
Gu Sanshen looked behind Qiu He and said easily: "You eunuchs want to be mice and hide in the dark to do evil. Then I will release a mouse and see if I can find your nest."
"Commander Shi, I am not a mouse." Hu Dun showed his head from behind Qiu He, sniffed the back of Qiu He's neck vigorously, and said, "That black robe is indeed not his, although there is a lot of blood on his body. It tastes good, but it can’t be hidden from my nose.”
Black robe?
Qiu He's eyes were a little flustered.
Gu Sanshen caught this and just clicked his tongue disdainfully: "It seems that you are also aware of the flaw. The Security Bureau found a black robe in your room. It was well made, but it was not from the inner palace. It appeared in your room. The clothes inside are not yours, haha, whose clothes are those? This person is very important, right?"
Qiu He quickly regained his composure and said: "It's just a piece of clothing bought from a pawn shop. If you want to check it, then go ahead and check it. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the entire capital, so go ahead and check it."
Gu Sanshen stood up and walked towards Qiu He, saying: "Don't worry, if the Security Bureau wants to find someone, they will definitely find him even if they turn the capital upside down."
After arranging the people on the side to "take care of" Qiu He, Gu Sanshen and Hu Dun left the dungeon.
Hu Dun quickly called someone to get some water and cleaned his face and hands.
Gu Sanshen stood aside and watched, and asked in a cold voice: "When you were robbing tombs, I never saw you being so clean. Also, when did you have the habit of smelling other people's clothes?"
Hu Dun wiped his hands and said: "Ever since I almost fed a mouse in the dungeon, I have wanted to take a bath three times a day. As for smelling other people's clothes, it is a bad habit left over from when I robbed tombs. But I didn't expect that that black robe It smells different from other clothes in the room.”
"You smell clothes when you see them?"
Gu Sanjian asked.
Hu Dun nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Gu Sanshen seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Then have you smelled the official uniform I hung in the hall?"
Without thinking, Hu Dun replied: "Your official uniform has not been washed for eighteen days. What smells good? Let me tell you, you can't cover up the smell of sweat no matter how much incense you use... Uh, sir, you want to do what……"
"asshole!"
Crackling and beating on the side.
Gu Sanshen was extremely depressed, this guy was not a normal person. But think about it, no normal person would rob a tomb.
"Get up and do some work!"
Gu Sanshen said sharply.
Hu Dun patted the dirt on his body and stood up.
Gu Sanjian asked: "How to investigate next?"
Hu Dun thought for a while and said: "Sir, this black robe belongs to a woman. This person's identity is not simple. She must know something important, because she also has an identical black robe."
Gu Sanshen frowned and asked, "How can you tell it's a woman?"
Hu Dun spread his hands and asked: "Who can take off their clothes if they are not sleeping... Who can wear the wrong clothes if they don't mix their clothes together... Don't you think that Qiu He has found a eunuch... ugh... …”
Gu Sanshen glared at Hu Dun. Although this guy was not normal, his inference might not be unreasonable. In this case, there were Qiu He's accomplices in the inner palace!
"Are you sure you're not someone else's supervisor from the Shrine?"
"If everyone from the Shrine Prison is here, then I can conclude that the master of the black robe is definitely not a member of the Shrine Prison."
Gu Sanshen was silent. This matter was more serious than he thought. The problem was not limited to the Shrine Supervisor.
At this moment, Tang Buping, the governor of the town, came over in a hurry and said to Gu Sansheng, "I found something."
Gu Sanshen's eyes lit up, and he quickly led Hu Dun out of the imperial city to the Shrine Superintendent's Hall on Zhongshan Mountain.
When Xue Xia saw Gu Sanjian coming, he bowed and pointed to the table, saying: "Here is a jade pendant, a rusty copper coin, and a sharp dagger. They were all taken from the secret compartment of the secret room where Jingzhe was. When we found it, we found that the secret compartment was extremely secretive and was hidden in a high place. We had missed it several times after looking for it. Fortunately, we were able to find these objects with great care."
"Is this Jingzhe's item, or does it belong to someone else?" Gu Sanshen looked at Hu Dun and gestured, "Do you want to smell it?"
Hu Dun was depressed and wanted to vomit blood. He smelled the smell on his clothes. It was either stone or copper and iron. Do you expect these things to retain the smell?
Are you kidding...
Xue Xia shook his head: "Perhaps Headmaster Liu Quan can prove it."
Gu Sanshen walked to the desk, picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The jade pendant was milky white, plain and without any decorations. There was no clue at all from here.
Hongwu Tongbao's standard copper coins, judging from the rusty appearance, have been at least more than ten years old, and no one has treated the patina.
Pulling out the dagger, cold light flashed. There were blood grooves on both sides of the dagger, and there were as many as three blood grooves on each side. There were also patterns on the blade, but the dagger itself did not have any identity marks.
"etc."
Seeing Gu Sanjian about to put away the dagger, Hu Dun suddenly shouted.
Gu Sanshen turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Hu Dun pointed at the dagger in Gu Sanshen's hand and asked cautiously: "Sir, could you please let me take a look?"
Gu Sanshen sheathed the dagger and handed it to Hu Dun. Hu Dun took out the dagger and saw the cold light reflected in his eyes. His pupils couldn't help but shrink. When the dagger was fully pulled out and the blood grooves and lines were fully revealed, Hu Dun's breathing changed. He got up hastily, raised his head and said, "Sir, this kind of dagger is rare."
"Do you know this kind of dagger?"
Gu Sanshen asked eagerly.
Hu Dun was silent for a moment and said: "If this subordinate is not mistaken, this should be built by Cong Laojiu of Dongchang himself."
"Dongchang, Dongchang Mansion in Shandong?"
Gu Sanshen frowned.
Hu Dun nodded heavily and said seriously: "Yes, it is an object from Dongchang Mansion."
Xue Xia couldn't believe Hu Dun, and the provenance of the object was related to the direction of the subsequent investigation. He couldn't be careless, so he asked: "Although daggers with three blood grooves are rare, it doesn't necessarily exist only in Dongchang, right?"
Hu Dun shook his head and walked towards the table. He held the dagger and stabbed it down. The table was penetrated by force. He pointed with his finger and said, "My lords, please take a look."
Gu Sanshen, Xue Xia and others stepped forward and saw that the end of the dagger handle was engraved with a small word "Cong", and the word "Cong" was hidden in the lines. If no one pointed it out, it would not be possible. It's hard to spot if you look closely.
"So, Jingzhe's identity is related to Dongchang Mansion? If I remember correctly, Dongchang Mansion has a Pingshan Guard. Could it be that Jingzhe is the retired sergeant of that guard?"
Gu Sanshen speculated.
Xue Xia pulled out the dagger and did not answer Gu Sanshen's words. Instead, he asked Hu Dun: "Dongchang Cong Laojiu? It seems that you are quite familiar with Dongchang. Please tell me carefully."
Hu Yun heard that Xue Xia's tone had become calmer, and felt a little grateful in his heart, saying: "As you all know, I, Hu Yun, was a tomb robber before, walking under the Nine Springs, but this tomb robbery also requires some handy guys, which is unusual. Anyone can make it. I made some objects at Cong Laojiu's shop in Dongchang seven years ago, including a similar dagger, so I am very familiar with this format, texture, and blood groove."
Xue Xia looked at Gu Sanshen and said, "Sir, if that's the case, there must be some connection between Jingzhe and the palace supervisor and Dongchang. At least Jingzhe has been to Dongchang. Maybe we can find some clues from Cong Laojiu. .”
Gu Sanshen was a little worried and thought: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Jingzhe might just be passing by Dongchang and hit a dagger. And it's been an unknown number of years, so chasing after him may not lead to results."
"First bring the physical evidence to Liu Quan and let him see if it belongs to Jingzhe. Then report it to the emperor and follow his orders."
Gu Sanshen had no other ideas at this time.
Dongchang is far away in Shandong. There is a problem with the capital's internal prison. The Security Bureau is in need of manpower. If another group of men is sent to Dongchang, what will happen if chaos breaks out in the capital?
Liu Quan confessed that the dagger belonged to Jingzhe, but he did not know about the copper coins and jade pendant.
Gu Sanshen and Xue Xia presented the evidence to the chamberlain and entered Wuying Hall after being summoned.
Zhu Yunwen played with the jade pendant and said to the two people who were saluting, "Get up and talk."
After Gu Sanshen reported clearly the physical evidence, Heipao and Hu Dun's analysis, etc., he was extremely worried and said: "Your Majesty, there is an undercurrent surging in the capital right now, and there are hidden dangers in the internal prisons. I think Heipao should start with it, look for clues, and There will be no future trouble. As for Dongchang, it is not urgent and can be postponed temporarily."
Zhu Yunwen ordered someone to get a magnifying glass and carefully observed the jade pendant. When he saw that there was no mystery, he put it aside, raised his head and said, "Shandong Dongchang, don't you think there is some coincidence?"
"coincide?"
Gu Sanshen and Xue Xia looked at each other.
Zhu Yunwen solemnly said: "Linqing, Dongchang, and Jining can be said to be the three important towns above the Huitong River. At the moment, Shandong is dredging the Huitong River and recruiting countless migrant workers. If someone uses the power of the people to cause chaos in Shandong, they will be in trouble in an instant. The three fortresses of Linqing, Dongchang, and Jining are desirable. And behind this Jingzhe, there is the shadow of Dongchang. Is this a coincidence or a flaw? "
When Gu Sanshen heard that the emperor was so concerned, he made up his mind and said, "Then I will arrange for people to go to Shandong to investigate Dongchang and investigate the traces of Jingzhe."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and arranged: "I ordered Tang Buping to take people to Dongchang for investigation. You can stay in the capital to look for the people in black robes. Anyone who is suspicious can be interrogated first and then reported. In addition - keep an eye on those characters, If they are involved, they should take some action."
