Chapter 701 Four Signs Belong to Eight, 286, at Least Four People Will Die

After Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, his eyes returned to the list, his fingers caressed the curls at the corners of the paper, and after a while he asked: "Are you sure?"

Eunuch Hang looked at Liu Wei with a very ugly expression on his face: "Of course!"

Then things become simple.

Whether it's Princess Qinyang or the palace attendants who have died mysteriously one after another, their deaths have all been explained.

However, who dares to really report this matter?

The case of Princess Yuping was already confusing. From the time when Princess Yuping disappeared in the palace, died tragically outside the palace, her body was brought back to the palace, and then disappeared mysteriously again, this series of strange events have spread throughout the imperial city. Causes people to panic.

Now the death of Princess Qinyang is actually related to Princess Yuping.

What on earth is Princess Yuping going to do? Or is someone using Princess Yuping for something?

Eunuch Hang was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, he was pleading: "Sir, this matter..."

"I will report this matter to the emperor." Liu Wei took one step ahead of Eunuch Hang.

Eunuch Hang shook his head: "No, this matter cannot be reported. The Za family said this for your own good. The emperor already had many concerns about Princess Yuping's case. Now that he knows about the case, it is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. If the case is to be solved, it will inevitably involve a lot of involvement, and Long Yan will probably be furious. By then, not only the Za family and the adults, but other people involved in this matter will also be involved."

As Eunuch Hang spoke, he looked around and made sure that the partition wall had no ears, and then said: "At present, only adults and the Za family know about this matter. Later, the Za family will order to go down and find a palace servant who made a mistake, and bring this to justice." Once the case is over, as long as the adults come forward and say something, we can turn this big thing into a small matter and a small matter into nothingness, wouldn't everyone be happy..."

"Eunuch Hang is wrong." Liu Wei looked at the old and cunning eunuch indifferently, and said calmly: "It is a trivial matter to find someone to blame, but now, not counting those seven people, there are only ten people who are actually in the sacrifice department. Two people. The four signs belong to eight, 286. If I guessed correctly, at least four more people will die in the next few days. And we only know that the murderer is using the fourth palace of Puxiang Palace as a sacrifice The target of the sacrifice, but we don’t know what kind of sacrifice he offered. In other words, we are not sure whether the murderer will be satisfied by killing sixteen people. Also, the old man who came out of Puxiang Palace must have died more than Those seven people, what about the others? Will they also be killed one after another? If we close the case hastily and the murderer continues to commit crimes afterwards, how should the emperor explain it? Does Eunuch Hang want to be blamed for deceiving the emperor and be implicated in the whole family? "

When Liu Wei said this, Eunuch Hang turned pale in fright, gritted his teeth in anger, and said helplessly: "Then what should I do, sir?"

Liu Wei was silent for a moment and said: "The emperor will definitely be worthy of the emperor's gift, but the emperor is busy with everything, so it is still unknown whether he will have time to see me."

Eunuch Hang was stunned and quickly looked at Liu Wei: "Master Liu is saying..."

Liu Wei said: "Eunuch Hang seems to be very familiar with Xiao Qizi, and he is obviously not acquainted with other people in the imperial court."

It's so clear. If Eunuch Hang still doesn't understand, he will spend his whole life in the palace in vain.

Eunuch Hang nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Sir, you are indeed very resourceful."

Liu Wei didn't reply.

Eunuch Hang just did what he said. Someone was offering sacrifices to the dead in the form of a map in the palace. This matter was no small matter.

After Eunuch Hang found out, he immediately asked to see the emperor.

However, Qi Fu, the eunuch beside the emperor, stopped Eunuch Hang and said that the emperor was summoning cabinet ministers to discuss national affairs.

Eunuch Hang had no choice but to wait outside.

But after waiting all afternoon, the emperor was not seen.

Without further ado, the murderer was very likely to continue committing crimes. After repeated hesitation, Eunuch Hang finally submitted a written report and told the Qingming Festival about the sacrifice. He no longer waited, but returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to continue investigating the case.

But Eunuch Hang didn’t know that the document report that he handed over was placed in front of the emperor by the little eunuch serving in front of the emperor. However, because the emperor was busy with government affairs and there were too many memorials on the imperial case, his document was accidentally touched by someone. Under the table, no one found it until the case was solved.

After everything was done, Eunuch Hang handed a bag of silver to the little eunuch who helped him, and then returned to the House of Internal Affairs with a sigh of relief.

In the study room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Liu Wei was still there. As soon as Eunuch Hang returned, he said that the matter was done.

Liu Wei hummed without raising his head and said: "Based on the previous death times of a total of nineteen people, the murderer's next attack should be around midnight tonight, and the place of the crime should be Princess Xinluo The Mengxiang Palace."

I'm not sure whether this speculation is right or wrong, but Eunuch Hang still believes in Liu Wei.

There was no way, he finally figured it out, if it weren't for Mr. Liu, this case would probably never be solved for the rest of his life, and as the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if the harem was always so unstable, then he would be lucky for this incompetent position. If they are, they will just be removed. If they are unlucky, they may have to die to apologize and their heads will fall to the ground.

Therefore, after the entanglement between the two parties, Eunuch Hang decided that no matter what Mr. Liu said or did, he would just listen.

Anyway, Master Liu can still solve the case, but relying on himself, there is probably no hope at all.

Because she had to sit back and wait in Mengxiang Palace, she naturally had to talk to the head of the house. Princess Xinluo was still young, so Empress Li became the candidate for discussion.

Liu Wei is a "foreign man", so naturally he is not allowed to see him.

Therefore, it was Eunuch Hang’s job to persuade Concubine Li. After all, Eunuch Hang was worthy of being an old man from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He settled the matter in a few words.

In fact, Eunuch Hang did not say that he was coming here to catch the murderer. He only said that he knew that someone had died in Mengxiang Palace. He was afraid that Princess Xinluo would follow in the footsteps of Princess Qinyang. The Ministry of Internal Affairs took this matter very seriously and specially ordered someone to be killed in Mengxiang Palace. There are patrols in the palace, so there may be many strangers in Mengxiang Palace tonight, but don’t be afraid, they are all here to protect Princess Xinluo.

Concubine Li was of a low status. If something happened to her daughter, it would be natural for her to get the attention of the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He thanked Eunuch Hang repeatedly, and immediately ordered that the people in Mengxiang Palace should not go out tonight, and more than half of them should guard Princess Xinluo in her room.

It's night, everything is quiet.

Everything seems ready.

Liu Wei was sitting in a side hall sponsored by Concubine Li, looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, and asked Eunuch Hang next to her: "You're not back yet?"

Eunuch Hang knew what Liu Wei was talking about, so he said: "It's probably going to be soon, but the Za family doesn't understand. My lord, didn't you say that the fewer people know about this, the better. If too many people know about it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, but why..."

"Why did you specially find Father-in-law?"

Eunuch Hang nodded. He really didn't understand. He had been very well prepared for tonight, but when things came to a close, Mr. Liu suddenly had a whim and said that he wanted to find Eunuch Xiang.
