Chapter 23 Drunken Lady 【Part 1】

Fu Wan imagined that she would come to ask her teacher to ask her a crime, and also imagined that she would completely ignore him, and even imagined that she would directly stab someone with a sword, but she never imagined that Bai Chan would block people in the street, just to ask her why she raped her dream.

——It was you who were dreaming randomly, so do you have to blame others?Fu Wan endured it, and said: "Dreams are common things, Miss Bai, don't think too much about it."

But Bai Chan refused, and said seriously: "You are wrong, I never dreamed before."

Fu Wan said okay, you made it clear that you want to rely on me.She said, "Then tell me, what did you dream about?"

It's okay if you don't ask, but this time, Bai Chan's face blushed suspiciously.She dodged her eyes: "Ask, what are you doing?"

Fu Wan said calmly: "Let's say it first, if I didn't do something, it must be fabricated by you yourself, and you can't rely on me."

Bai Chan was puzzled: "Things you haven't done? What else can you do? We kissed each other, and even held hands..."

This time it was Fuwan's turn to blush.She blushed and cursed at the same time, thinking that there are more tricks you don't understand.Fu Wan coughed softly, avoided the topic, and said, "Then, since you always dream about me, why didn't you come to see me sooner?"

Bai Chan fell silent.

It was almost evening, and the lanterns were lit up, casting a dim light from the entrance of the alley, casting their shadows obliquely on the winding stone walls.Just looking at the shadow, the two seem to be close to each other.

Fu Wan waited for a while, and said: "It's getting late, I have to go back to the palace."

Bai Chan finally opened her mouth, but what she said was irrelevant.She asked: "Your Highness, that volume of Prime Minister Liu Tu...can I return it to the original owner after the investigation is over?"

Fu Wan was stunned for a moment, and then heard her add: "It's not that I want that painting, but, when I saw it that day, I seemed to vaguely recall some old things."

Fu Wan said, "Old things?"

Bai Chan paused, and Fang said: "Actually, I... don't remember much about what happened before I went up the mountain at the age of five. But that day in the underground palace, I suddenly had some scattered images in my mind, which were not very clear, but..." She frowned , "I vaguely feel that I seem to have forgotten something."

"forget?"

She shook her head and said: "Xing Duo looks at the painting, then I can remember it."

Fu Wan's heart was still soft, and he didn't want her to be in trouble, so he agreed and agreed to meet at the Taifu's residence in three days.

***

Dali Temple, with the military order hanging above its head, was very efficient in handling affairs, and the document was written and presented to the empress overnight.

The body of Sitian Jianzheng Liu Xun had already experienced it, and what he contained was an instant-onset strong poison. At the same time, Wu Zuo found a broken poison pill in his back tooth socket, and they were ruled It was agreed that Liu Xun committed suicide by crushing a poison pill in fear of crime.

However, Fu Wan felt that things were not that simple.

A person who is sincerely going to die will never show such resentful and unwilling eyes at the last moment before death.She once tried to close the eyes of the corpse, but she couldn't close it no matter what——Liu Xun died with regret because someone murdered him.

The empress said casually: "Emperor Ji, what do you think?"

Fu Wan remained silent for a while, and said, "I have no objection."

At the time of the incident, only she and Liu Xun were alone in the cell. If she committed suicide, she should be the first to be suspected.

The Empress withdrew her gaze, she didn't care how this little man like an ant died, she casually handed down the verdict——Jianzheng Liu's family intends to rebel, sentenced to death, the deputy supervisor failed to supervise, ransacked the house and exiled, and the rest were dismissed and investigated Since then, the entire Sitianjian has been completely abolished and cannot be re-established.

The matter was revealed in a mild manner, and the ministers turned their heads to discuss the severe drought in southern Xinjiang. Compared with an insignificant Liu Xun, the imminent disaster relief matter was more important.

I heard that the southern border has become chaotic, and the hungry and crazy people don't care about the law at all, even dare to rush to loot the disaster relief food delivered from above.There were faint signs of riots in the local area. Seeing that they could not suppress it, the local officials sent three letters a day to Beijing for urgent help.In this regard, the courtiers have different opinions. Some people think that the imperial envoy should be appointed to go south with the relief food to appease the living. Some radicals, such as the people of Da Sima, think that more troops should be stationed in southern Xinjiang, otherwise they will be given more money and food. It is also a trickster who loots at a low price.

Several people were blushing and refused to give in to each other.

When going to court, Fu Wan planned to go around Dali Temple, but he was stopped by Song Ge Lao on the way.

The elder of the pavilion was considered to be the emperor's uncle, who had gone through two dynasties and had some prestige in the dynasties. He had a wrinkled face with a smile on his face, and politely asked how Her Highness Di Ji was doing recently.

Fu Wan glanced at him and said, "Gu is doing well, Mr. Lao is worried."

Old Song Ge smiled even more: "That's good, that's good. I'm really ashamed that I haven't found the opportunity to apologize to His Highness for what happened that day."

Fu Wan was surprised: "Why did your lord say that?"

"This Liu Xun is so ambitious that he dared to murder His Majesty. That day when he framed you with nonsense, he blamed the old minister for his poor eyesight. He failed to see his sinister intentions and almost wronged His Majesty. Really..."

Seeing him open his eyes and talking nonsense, Fuwan wanted to laugh.She snorted: "Gone wronged? Where is the wrong? Gu Gu is indeed pregnant with a child. Did Master Ge make a mistake?"

Elder Song Ge was stunned for a moment, and smiled apologetically: "Yes, since His Highness said so, and the matter was handed over to Imperial Physician Hu to look at it, naturally it cannot be wrong."

When he said this, his eyes sparkled.Fu Wan knew that he was not being honest, and probably had consulted Dr. Hu to understand the cause and effect, and knew that she was a fake pregnancy.

Song Ge always thought that Fu Wan would be guilty, but she just smiled.

"Your Excellency is threatening Gu?" Fu Wan looked at him with great interest, "If you have the ability, go ahead and sue His Majesty, you and I have different opinions, but Gu has to see, is she willing to believe Gu? , or believe you? Or, bet on whether she is willing to take the risk and cut open Gu's stomach to see what happened."

Elder Song Ge's expression was almost unstoppable: "You—" His face trembled, and he squeezed out an extremely ugly smile, "Your Highness doesn't need to provoke the old minister, but His Highness Wanwang cherishes himself, don't be careless Eating the wrong food will not only hurt the 'child', but also harm the mother."

"The food and clothing expenses of the Eastern Palace are all in the hands of the Empress. Do you think Your Majesty will be orphaned?"

There was a malicious light in Song Ge's old eyes: "The old minister dare not, but he is afraid that the people under him will be careless and negligent. Your Highness, don't you see that Dali Temple is like an iron bucket? It can't even fly a fly, isn't it? Tell that Liu to commit suicide by taking poison?"

Fu Wan narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't answer.

Song Ge's old goal was achieved, so he didn't bother much.He cupped his hands, and started another topic: "Prince Xian's sons are all young talents, if your Highness is free, you can go to his house and sit down."

The smile on Fu Wan's face completely disappeared.

Song Ge said: "Instead of waiting for the future, when the son of the virtuous prince adopts the throne in the middle palace, and His Highness wants to compete with countless noble women in Beijing, it is better for you to win the favor of the son as soon as possible. They are all brothers of the same clan. Your Highness suffers."

Fu Wan sneered: "Although Gu is sick, he is not confused. Mr. Ge, at your age, how can you daydream?"

Old Song Ge's face turned green and then pale, scolding her in his heart for being ignorant, but he still had to smile apologetically, admitting that he was confused, and it's fine if His Highness doesn't want to.

Unexpectedly, Fuwan didn't even give him a lot of winks, just passed by and went out.

Everyone around chatted in a small circle, and they all noticed this to some extent. Seeing that Song Ge's old man had suffered so much for no reason, those who hadn't dealt with him all gloated secretly.

Song Ge's face turned bluer, he snorted from his nasal cavity, and walked away.

——It's just an unfavorable Empress. Right now, the Empress is only convinced when she's in a daze. In the future, he'll have to see how long this person can be proud?

***

Dali Temple has a fortified palace, deep house structure, and many underground buildings. The further you go in, the more eerie and terrifying it is, giving people a strong sense of psychological oppression.

The smell of blood is quite strong in this area. There are small shrines enshrined in the aisles and corners. They are all fierce gods who can suppress all ghosts. There are portraits and sculptures.

Fu Wan walked along such a corridor.She didn't like this kind of chilling feeling in the first place, and today she was walking alone again - Si Zheng called for leave for something, so she had to hurry all the way, but she bumped into someone just after turning the corner.

"Aiyo!" The man fell back and sat on the ground, the files in his hands were scattered all over the floor, and he was covering his blushed forehead with tears in his eyes.

Fu Wan stabilized, looked down, and couldn't help but let out a "Huh".I saw that person was wearing an ill-fitting Dali Temple official uniform, with a slender figure and a clear voice. Looking at the curve from the chest to the waist and hips, it was clearly a young girl.

Fu Wan was stunned for a moment, but she had never heard that Dali Temple had recruited a female police officer.

The girl raised her head, her nose was red, her eyes were black and round like a puppy, the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, she looked rather pitiful.

Fu Wan's heart softened a little: "Are you okay?"

The girl stared blankly at her, then suddenly came back to her senses and jumped up, saying "sorry" while kneeling on the ground to pack up the scattered papers.She was clumsy, and she was still in a mess after collecting it for a long time, so she raised her head and smiled shyly at Fu Wan.

Fu Wan couldn't see it, so she knelt down, packed up the file and handed it back to her.

She sniffed: "Many, thank you."

Fu Wan looked at her for a while, and suddenly felt familiar: "What's your name?"

"Ah?" She raised her head in shock and then quickly lowered it, whispering, "Drunk, drunk mother."

"Are you working in Dali Temple?"

When the drunken lady heard this, she nodded, then shook her head, her thin white fingers were tightly clenched together, looking very nervous.

Fu Wan couldn't force her to question her, so he helped her stand still and said, "It's okay, you can go to work."

The drunken lady held the file, and timidly glanced at her.Fuwan thought she still had something to say, so she stood and waited for a while, but saw the drunken lady standing with her head bowed, wishing she could hide behind the file she was holding, only showing her red ears.

The two were silent, Fu Wan scanned the few pages she was holding, and his eyes suddenly focused.

She stepped forward, turned over the first piece of paper and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, it was an autopsy report.

"Are you the master of Dali Temple?"

"Ah... ah?" Drunk Niang nervously tugged on her sleeves lightly, "This, this is not for outsiders to see."

Fuwan was calm: "Isn't outsiders able to read it?" Without any guilt, she took out the Dali Temple waist card that Lin Xiang had given her for the convenience of going in and out, and waved it in front of her eyes, "I'm here to help your lord investigate Liu Xun's case, if you don't believe me, just ask."

The drunken lady looked at the belt badge in her hand suspiciously.Hearing Shaoqing's name, her eyelashes trembled suddenly, and she lowered her eyes and said: "I know, I know, then... my lord, please come with me."

She looked weak, but her steps were fast, and she took Fu Wan to a remote underground corridor with many twists and turns.

This place is deeper underground than the previous torture room where Liu Xun was interrogated. The corridor is full of bluestone slab walls, giving off bursts of chill.Even though Fuwan was wearing winter clothes, he couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

She asked how long it was, but saw that the drunken lady stopped and opened a stone door: "Here we are."

Fu Wan originally thought that the corridor was already cold enough, but when the door was opened, it turned out to be like an ice cave. A biting chill came over his face, mixed with an indescribable smell, like rancid, like wax. The pungent smell emanating from burning and melting.

There was a faint blue candle burning in the room, Fu Wan squinted his eyes, and when he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help gasping.

Because she is well-informed, she has never seen such a situation-it is a spacious stone cellar, and there are ice basins in winter. The most eye-catching thing is the stone platform in the middle of the room, with six or seven corpses lying side by side. corpse.

The corpse was covered with a white cloth, the chest and abdomen were cut open, and the bloody heart, liver, spleen and stomach were neatly lined up aside.

The drunken lady seemed to be used to it, and said, "Are you looking for Liu Xun? He's the one in the southeast corner."
