The three of them sat down and ate in silence. The rule of not talking during eating or sleeping was extremely strict in the palace, but fortunately the three of them were used to it.
After eating, the palace maid removed the dishes from the table. The three of them rinsed their mouths under the service of the palace maid. King An looked at his royal brother.
"Brother Imperial, I heard that the two assassins who assassinated me were originally going to be interrogated, but later they were imprisoned back to the Kyoto government office under your order, Brother Imperial. What's going on?"
Thinking of this, King An felt angry. The man's kung fu was really not weak. He actually got close to him and left a sword wound on his arm. Even if it wasn't serious, it still couldn't dispel the hatred in his heart.
But now the person is not dead, and is still being detained in the Kyoto government office.
"The two of them are involved in a case that has not yet been investigated. I have ordered people to investigate. What will happen after the investigation is completed."
Upon hearing this, King An felt much better.
"I know that the emperor loves me the most and there is no way he would let me be wronged."
Come again!
Emperor Anqing sometimes really couldn't stand King An. You said you are almost thirty years old and can you be normal? You can just eat, drink and have fun. But you are a man who is almost thirty years old and act coquettishly. He will get up after just one look at you. Goosebumps.
But the problem is that the mother doesn't think it's a big deal. Maybe she's used to watching her son act coquettishly since she was a child. She's afraid that she won't think there's any problem if his younger brother acts like a coquettish child with her when he's in his 70s or 80s.
"But Your Majesty, why did I hear that the person you sent to investigate the case was a little girl, or a village girl from the countryside. What's going on?"
"The Queen Mother is talking about Miss Su. Although she was born as a woman, she is still quite capable. I will leave this matter to her."
"Your Majesty, this is not like you."
The emperor felt a little helpless in his heart. If he didn't speak clearly, I'm afraid these two people would hold him tight today.
"Her family has a skill in making wine, and the two of them were servants of the Su family before, so she used 80% of her bonus to exchange this month's time with me."
Hearing that the Su family could make wine, the Queen Mother and King An knew why the emperor agreed to this matter. It was for the 80% bonus. The treasury was short of money, and they both understood in their hearts.
"Brother Emperor, when the wine comes out, you have to send more than a dozen jars to my house. You also know that there are many people in my house, and if you don't give me enough, there won't be enough to drink."
"Okay, I'll have it delivered to you when the time comes."
"Thank you, my dear brother."
After that, the mother and son chatted about their daily life. In the eyes of the palace attendants, this was a picture of a loving mother and a filial son, but only the three of them knew what they were thinking.
After Su Yu came out of Dali Temple, he planned to visit the former Zhu Mansion. He heard that since General Zhu's family was beheaded, Zhu Mansion has been empty and no one else has lived in it.
But as soon as he left Dali Temple, he saw Yu Zheng waiting at the door.
"Master Yu."
Yu Zheng felt helpless when he heard this title, but he knew that it would be useless to say it.
"Are you going to General Zhu's mansion now?"
"how do you know?"
"Let's go, I'll go with you."
"You're not on duty today."
"I have told the emperor that he has agreed to my staying with you during this period."
Everyone is here, what else can she say.
The two got on the carriage, and another Erhu squeezed in between them. The carriage was packed to the brim.
"How's it going? How was the check this morning?"
"No, I don't have a clue at all."
"This happened five years ago, and as far as I know, almost everyone who knew about it at that time is gone. Only Uncle Wang and Bai Mo are left. It is difficult to investigate."
"You know the case."
"I checked it last night."
"Then have you found out what kind of poison General Zhu Da was poisoned that year? I looked at the files from Dali Temple. It only said that he died of poisoning, but it didn't say what kind of poison he was poisoned with."
"No, but I asked an acquaintance of the imperial doctor that General Zhu Da's symptoms were a bit like the poison from Nanyang. He was not sure because he had never seen General Zhu Da at the time. He just guessed from the description. One or two.”
"Why is it Nanyang Kingdom again?"
Su Yu felt that she had some conflicts with the Nanyang Kingdom, and the two cases she encountered were related to the Nanyang Kingdom.
The two of them were talking and arrived at the door of Zhu's mansion unknowingly.
"Girl, Master Yu is here."
After getting off the carriage, he saw that there was no lock on the door. Yin Jian stepped forward and pushed it with his hand. The door creaked. It was obvious that the two doors had not been opened for a long time.
"Erhu, let's go."
Su Yu called Erhu, and the whole group entered the house.
There was a thick layer of leaves on the ground, and spider webs could be seen everywhere. It could be seen that the mansion was not small in size, but the furnishings were simple. Maybe it was because the Zhu family were martial arts practitioners. People don't pay much attention to details.
"Erhu, go."
Su Yu touched Erhu's head and pointed in the direction of the yard in front.
Erhu wagged his tail a few times, turned around and ran forward.
"Where are Erhu going?"
"I don't know either. Just now at Dali Temple, there was a jade pendant in the file bag. I heard it was General Zhu's evidence of the crime of judging the country. There should be a lot of General Zhu's breath on it. I let Erhu smell it, but it was not the same. We know if Erhu will find anything today, so we can follow him quickly."
When Su Yu was talking, the two tigers in front had disappeared, and the others couldn't help but speed up their pace.
They looked for Erhu's footprints. When they arrived, they saw Erhu in a room with his butt sticking out and his front paws scratching there.
"Erhu, come back."
After hearing what Su Yu said, Erhu obediently returned to sit next to Su Yu.
"Yin Jian, go dig and see what's inside."
Yin Jian stepped forward and took out his sword, and dug down bit by bit along the spot where the two tigers dug just now. The ground in this house was paved with bluestones. The people who searched back then should have pried all the bluestones. When he got up, bluestones were scattered everywhere in the room.
Yin Jian kept digging like this. He dug down to a depth of more than half a meter, but still found nothing.
"Girl, there seems to be nothing in here."
"You're digging."
Su Yu didn't think Erhu would make a mistake, it must be that he didn't dig deep enough.
When Wu Lang saw him, he quickly stepped forward to help.
The two dug down almost another meter, and felt that the tip of the sword hit something hard. Yin Jian abandoned the sword and pulled it with his hands, and found a wooden box underneath.
After a while, the entire wooden box was dug out and brought to the two of them.
"Girl, I found this wooden box down there."
"Open it and take a look, be careful."
"Yes, girl."
Just in case, Yin Jian took the wooden box farther away from the two people. After opening it, he saw that there was nothing strange, so he took the wooden box over.
Su Yu and Yu Zheng saw a letter lying quietly inside. There was nothing written on the cover of the envelope. Just when Su Yu was about to reach out and take out the letter, Yu Zheng picked up the envelope from the box before her.
"Let me do it."
