The Lord who use immortals as food

"Yu Sicheng?" Pei Ye asked.

He Su said nothing, glanced at him narrowly, and then looked back.

"Find out all the information about this canal and the garden and give it to me - is the person who built it still there?"

"How does Xi Guanling, who took office nine years ago, know what happened twenty-four years ago?" He Zi sighed, "I'll try my best to find some operations, corps commanders, etc., maybe I can leave a few names."

He held a candle and flipped through page after page. The old ink marks were inevitably blurry and annoying, which made the father-in-law frown a little: "Supervisor Xu Fang... died of illness seven years ago, Xi Guancheng Zhao Wen... retired and returned home ten years ago. I guess Too early I'm not out of breath anymore; Lishui, the Xiguan Ling back then, hey, this one is still here. He was promoted to the rank of chamberlain... Well, I have a copy of the completion summary he wrote for the "Construction of the Jade Grain Garden"... Good habit, Good senior."

Why lower the candlelight and read carefully: "'In the summer of the third year of Suolin's reign, Xi Guanju was given the task of building the Jade Grain Garden in the northeast of Mingyue Palace. This was the first garden built in the palace after Suolin's third year. Although it was not your intention, you still need to be very cautious and start work immediately after being appointed... After autumn and summer, it is completed by winter. The pavilions are neat and the trees are straight. It is really a beautiful garden. I think that next summer, it will be full of trees and birds singing in the water. The success of this garden is due to the care of the superior. Visiting the garden in person and supervising it with one hand is the music of the Young Supervisor——'"

He Zi's throat seemed to be cut off with a "click", his lips pursed, and he took a breath, then slightly adjusted his grip and continued: "——It is the merit of Young Eunuch Qu Changqu's father-in-law."

After reading this sentence, he closed the case file and stopped reading. He continued to flip through the lower pages as if nothing had happened. Then he handed them to him and said softly: "I see there are some official words in the back, so you can take it away." Turn it over yourself.”

After saying that, he picked up the candle and turned around.

Pei Ye stretched out his feet to stop him: "Eh? Why didn't Eunuch He finish reading just now?"

"A few official words will save you some trouble." He Su said, "I'm also very busy here."

"Who is this Qu Chang?"

"Who knows, I've never heard of a certain grand father-in-law back then, but I've never heard of him now." He Fu waved his hand, "Come on, let me go and see what's going on at the embroidery shop."

Pei Ye leaned against the pillar and stretched out his other leg.

"Eunuch He, do you think it's strange? I'm afraid not even ten people in this palace can remember this broken canal that was built more than 20 years ago. Why do I suddenly come to inquire about it at this time?"

Why give him a wary look.

Pei Ye put his hands to his ears, as if sharing a precious secret: "I suspect that this ditch is related to the death of Queen Wei."

The candlelight suddenly fell, so why did you need to fish it out twice before taking it back into your hand? He stood up, ignoring the lamp oil spilled on his hand, looked at the young man seriously and silently, and pressed two fingers on his lips. .

"Shut up."

Pei Ye was about to see his reaction and smiled and said: "Hey, there is no one else in this room. Eunuch He, do you think this Queen Li was in the palace back then? Is it possible that she was involved in the death of Queen Wei? in……"

"I'm fucking your uncle!!" He Zi took the step and closed the darkroom door with a bang. He turned around and looked at him angrily, his narrow eyes widening into elongated ovals.

"I have no enmity with you, why did you harm me!" He Su said angrily, "Get out! No more investigation!"

Pei Ye held his forearm, looked at him and smiled and said: "Eunuch He, what you said is wrong. Just tell me, it's just a few words. You don't know what I came to check, and you didn't even think about being caught by me." What did you say? But if you don’t say it, then you are the person in the case. I don’t know what you know... Even if you have the evidence that Queen Li harmed others, you can’t say it——"

Why bother to tap his lips with a "snap" sound, almost as hard as the palm of your hand.

Pei Ye was neither annoyed nor angry. He took his hand away and showed a bright and warm smile.

Why should he say angrily: "How come my immortal platform is named after a bird? It turns out they are all a bunch of fucking bird people!"

Pei Ye said nothing and took out a small notebook.

Why bother to take a deep breath, open the door, go out and look around, carefully close the door when you come back, look at him and say: "I'll tell you the truth, I really don't know about this ditch or the Queen's case. They are all old almanacs." . But you came to the palace specifically to ask, I I guessed that there might be a hidden secret in this matter, and when I came across the name Qu Chang, I was shocked. I believe that there is indeed something behind what you are investigating, so I don't want to get involved - you can go out with these in a while and investigate whatever you like. What, don’t mess with me.”

"Easy to say."

"Qu Chang was a young eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs more than 20 years ago, and he was also a popular deputy around Superintendent Yu." He Xudao said, "Many people know this name now, because when Superintendent Yu became the eunuch, he Before the Ministry, he was the one in charge of everything. Unlike the court, which was constantly turbulent, Superintendent Yu has been in office for many years, and everyone remembers clearly what changes there have been. "

"Many older palace officials should remember that Eunuch Qu was highly trusted by Chief Yu. At that time, many people wanted to climb into Eunuch Yu's clothes, but Eunuch Qu was the confidant who stayed by his side. This father-in-law He is experienced and considerate in his work. He is not sure about anything in the palace. The servants like to ask him to check him out, and everyone admires him. "He Xuzhi said, "Superintendent Yu has a cold and weird temper. Having such a father-in-law as a barrier will make him more comfortable. Everybody take it easy.”

Pei Ye nodded: "So he has full authority to supervise the management of Yuxie Garden. Where is this person now?"

"Dead."

He Zi lowered his voice again: "He was suddenly killed. This is something that the servants are afraid to talk about. No one knows why. People say that Superintendent Yu killed this confidant overnight. Kill them and bury them in the ground.”

Pei Ye frowned: "Kill him suddenly?"

"Yes. Some people say that one morning, Superintendent Yu walked into Eunuch Qu's dormitory and heard a horrifying scream for a whole day. There are also rumors that the two people who went to clean up later saw with their own eyes that there was blood inside. Splattered everywhere, Eunuch Qu's body was almost turned into a pile of rotten flesh, his tongue was cut off, and his eyes were dug out... More and more It is said that the rumors are more terrifying, and it is also said that when the two men saw Superintendent Yu, they trembled unconsciously..." He Xudao said, "Maybe the story of abuse was a lie, and everyone made it up out of fear. But Eunuch Qu's. It was true that he was killed suddenly, and it was true that no one saw him again... Superintendent Yu never mentioned this matter, and no one dared to investigate. "

"..."

Pei Ye gently tapped the pen in his hand.

"Now you know, this name is inherently sensitive. I have never known or thought about the reason for this ancient tragedy... Until you asked me to dig up the construction of Jade Grain Garden today, what did you say about 'water canal'? '." He Xu's hands were shaking slightly at this time. He reopened the "Construction Brief" and showed it in front of the young man.

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

There is really no need for him to read it, Pei Ye himself recognized it - "...it is the merit of Young Master Qu Chang, Eunuch Qu. In particular, the trees in the garden are half afraid of drought and cannot live without water. Eunuch Qu specially supervised the construction of the canal of the landscape pond. , which avoids the difficulty of diverting Taiye. This canal is very convenient."

"That's when I remembered." He Su murmured, "This Jade Grain Garden seems to be the last thing that Eunuch Qu did before his death... that is, shortly after the assassination of Mingyue Palace, Superintendent Yu buried him This confidant."

"Well..."

"That's what it is." He Xu spoke very quickly, "No matter what the inside story is, whatever you find out later has nothing to do with me. I'm very busy today and spent a lot of time looking for the information. I'll hand it in after I find it. To you, say nothing."

"It's easy to talk about." Pei Ye said goodbye, gathered the files on the table and went straight out.

Why not return the favor at all, just frown and close the door behind him, it's just like shooing away a fly.

…

…

Pei Ye stepped out of the gate of Xiguan Bureau, leaned against a big stone and looked through the things in his hand. He first put the small wooden sign that came with him into his sleeve.

A curtain has opened in the mental realm.

I tried writing two words:

"Are you there?"

After a while, the blue bird in the upper left corner seemed to wake up and spread its wings.

A handwriting appeared: "Huh?"

Pei Ye wrote seriously: "I want to check Yu Sicheng. Where can I start?"
