Huang Sibu and the others knew Lu Cai. After all, they were the ones who helped Sun Shanggong investigate what Lu Cai did every day and then reported it to the empress.
Because as Lu Cai said, the empress would not allow any hidden dangers to exist around Su Changan.
but
Su Changan thought for a moment and then looked at Huang Sibu and said, "I forgot to tell my aunt about this just now. I'd like to trouble Huang Sibu to go to Her Majesty and tell her about Lu Cai's interrogation and the things that Song Diao Si left behind that will be helpful for the interrogation. Then tell Her Majesty about the report I just proposed. If she thinks it's okay, she will announce it to everyone in the palace today. In addition, we should also send people to check the purchasing stores that have close ties with the Shangyi Bureau and the Shanggong Bureau. Interrogation is interrogation, and we must investigate everything we can, the sooner the better."
Huang Sibu immediately bowed and said, "I will report this to His Majesty right away."
After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.
Su Changan looked at Wei Siyan from the Shanggong Bureau. He had met Su Changan many times, so he was also an acquaintance.
When Wei Siyan saw Su Changan looking at him, he immediately bowed and waited for instructions.
Su Changan said, "I had the Queen Mother's body placed in Xingqing Palace before, but I thought it was inappropriate. How is it usually handled in the palace?"
Wei Siyan immediately said, "Miss, this kind of thing is usually handled by the servants themselves. Normally, the bodies of the criminals are thrown into the mass grave outside the city, where wolves, dogs, and wild cats will eat them at night."
Su Changan nodded: "Let's deal with it this way. Xingqing Palace is a palace in the imperial palace after all. It's not good to keep the body of the guilty woman there all the time. Find a few people to deal with it, and then wait for aunt to come back, and we will take care of the exam. These things must be done as soon as possible. As for the other messes left by Li Nishang, let's take it step by step."
Wei Siyan immediately bowed: "Yes."
Su Changan didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked at the mountain of documents in front of him, sighed, and decided to start dealing with these matters.
But I just picked up a document.
Su Changan thought of Lu Cai’s interrogation.
He shook his head helplessly. Even when Song En died, he was still afraid that his apprentice would be discriminated against and bullied.
But on second thought, Song En probably had no intention of living from the beginning.
After sighing, Su Changan stopped thinking about it and picked up an official document.
After Lu Cai and Zhou Qianhong came out of Lingqi Pavilion, they walked all the way towards where Gong Zhengsi was.
Zhou Qianhong followed behind Lu Cai, looked at the child's back, and sighed.
There are so many people suffering. Although this child cannot get a number, who made this child appear in front of us?
So Zhou Qianhong thought for a moment and said, "Lu Cai."
Lu Cai turned around and looked at Zhou Qianhong.
But the child looked at Zhou Qianhong's expression, forced a smile on his face and said, "I'm fine, Sister Zhou. Master said in the letter that it's time for him to leave, so I shouldn't be sad."
Zhou Qianhong was stunned, but she still held back the words of comfort that she had just thought of. She didn't say anything else and nodded and said "hmm".
Lu Cai forced a smile again.
But as soon as he turned around, the smile disappeared.
Feeling wronged?
Lu Cai felt very aggrieved.
He thought that he would be happy in his life since he had met Miss Chang'an and found a master who was good to him.
But he never expected something like this to happen.
But
He seemed to understand what the master said in the letter: 'The time has come for the master to die.'
He somewhat understood what she said lightly, but he also couldn't understand why he wanted to die when he didn't have to.
However, Lu Cai didn't think much about this, because he knew that sooner or later he would understand many of the things his master said.
but
Thinking of the letter that his master left for him.
Lu Cai sobbed a little, and although tears appeared, he wiped them away immediately.
Because his master said in the letter that he should not cry anymore.
The letter also told him to learn how to kill people. In the palace, especially when working around the Empress, he must learn how to kill people.
Kill those who want to kill the Queen, kill those who insult the Queen, kill those who the Queen wants to kill but is unable to do so.
The first person to be killed was Xiang Hong, but Xiang Hong had to tell him everything before she could be killed.
Killing is not good, but killing is the best way to protect the Queen.
All the palace servants who have committed crimes are imprisoned in the Palace Administration Department. Although there are usually people there, there are too many people today, and every cell is packed to the brim.
After Lu Cai and Zhou Qianhong entered Gongzhengsi, Zhou Qianhong immediately found Zhang Gongzheng to explain their purpose.
When he heard that it was Su Changan who ordered it and that he brought something that could make Xianghong open her mouth, Zhang Gongzheng immediately became respectful to the little boy Lu Cai.
When Lu Cai entered the Gongzhengsi prison cell, he was actually a little scared, because just standing at the door, he heard countless screams, which were very miserable and creepy.
Especially after Lu Cai followed him in, the young eunuch immediately felt waves of creepy chill coming from the cell.
I walked for a long time in this complex and winding dungeon that was like a honeycomb.
On the way, Lu Cai saw some colleagues in the greenhouse. When those people saw Lu Cai, they immediately rushed over to him, but were immediately driven back by Gong Zhengsi's men.
Lu Cai ignored the people's pleas for help and continued to follow.
Zhang Gongzheng brought Lu Cai to Xianghong. Lu Cai saw Xianghong locked on a rack, covered in blood, and tortured beyond recognition.
But Gong Zhengsi also has his own methods. Although he tortures people, he won't make them faint or something like that.
So although Xiang Hong was covered in blood, she was conscious. When she saw Lu Cai, the corners of Xiang Hong's mouth rose: "Isn't this the castrated dog adopted by that old man Song En? Why, did I ask you to come and see me? Is this all Su Changan is capable of?"
Snapped! !
It was Zhang Gongzheng who slapped Xianghong in the face.
But before Zhang Gongzheng could scold him, Lu Cai looked at Zhang Gongzheng and bowed, saying, "Master Gongzheng, I will interrogate them. However, in addition to the crimes committed by Xianghong, there are also crimes committed by other direct subordinates of Li Nishang in the Shangyi Bureau, Shanggong Bureau, etc., so please detain everyone in solitary confinement. It would be best if they can be around Xianghong and see the scene of my interrogation. I will find a way to make them tell everything."
Zhang Gongzheng was a woman in her forties, a little fat with a face full of flesh. Naturally, she looked at the prisoners with a bad face. However, Lu Cai was the Queen's man. Although he was a young eunuch, the word "close attendant" was very important.
When he heard this, although he didn't know what the young Eunuch Lu would do, he still nodded and said, "Eunuch, just interrogate me. I'll arrange it right away."
Lu Cai bowed.
Then he looked at Xianghong, and after thinking for a while, Lu bowed to Xianghong and said, "Miss Changan taught me to be polite. Aunt Xianghong, this is my last salute to you. It may be painful, I hope you can bear it."
Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You come to interrogate me. You, a little brat who hasn't even grown all your hair. Oh, and you don't even have that thing. Hahahahaha, you really can't do anything to me, right?"
When Zhou Qianhong heard this, she frowned and wanted to go up and hit Xiang Hong, but she still held back.
Because Lu Cai walked into the cell and gently took out a leather case from his clothes.
When the leather case was spread out on a shelf on one side, there were tiny knives inside. The smallest one was as thin as a cicada's wing and looked very delicate.
Zhou Qianhong was stunned for a moment and looked at the knives curiously.
But when Xiang Hong saw this, her expression suddenly changed. She lost her arrogance and shouted sharply, "Why do you have this? Song En should have thrown it away long ago! Why do you have this?!"
Zhou Qianhong and Zhang Gongzheng, who had rushed back at this time, were both stunned.
Especially Zhang Gongzheng, he didn't expect that Xianghong, who had been stubborn since she came in, would be like this.
Lu Cai said: "Master has taught me from the beginning, saying that I will need it in the future, but I am not very good at it. I can't even skin a mouse, so I probably can't completely remove the skin from Aunt Xianghong." Peeling it off will also ensure that you don't die. So instead of peeling off your skin layer by layer, I can only peel it off one at a time."
Having said that, Lu Cai turned around and picked up a booklet from the bamboo basket.
Xiang Hong looked at Lu Cai and screamed, and even shouted at Zhang Gongzheng: "Get him out! Get him out now! He will kill me, and you won't know anything if I die!! You will not know what the queen has done, and you will not know that the queen has... Lu Cai! You eunuch, put down the knife now!"
Xiang Hong saw with her own eyes what Song En did to an enemy whom the Queen Mother hated so much.
It was with this set of knives that the living person was completely skinned. Not only was the person skinned alive, but he was still alive and well at the end.
Song En just peeled off the skin layer by layer until the man died of pain.
That's why Xianghong is like this!
When Zhou Qianhong saw Xianghong like this, and heard the word "skinning" even more clearly, she looked at Lu Cai in surprise.
She couldn't believe that the child could do such a thing, but she looked at Lu Cai's trembling legs and hands.
Zhou Qianhong was stunned and chose to remain silent.
Because she remembered the promise the child made to Su Changan when they were in Lingqi Pavilion.
Looking at Lu Cai's current appearance, it is obvious that he has been thinking about it for a long time and is now forcing himself to suppress his fear and do this.
Lu Cai was indeed suppressing his fear and treated the little mouse as a mouse, but now he was doing the same to a human, how could he not be afraid.
But Lu only knew.
This had to be done. Just by looking at Xianghong's expression, he knew he had to do this in order to get this woman to talk.
So after swallowing his saliva, Lu Cai looked at the book in his hand, then looked at Xiang Hong and said, "After you gained power in the past few years, you liked to watch others having sex, especially the handsome eunuchs and palace maids, so you would choose among the children who entered the palace, and then abuse and kill them. Sometimes, if you didn't choose someone you were satisfied with, you would let people outside the palace catch those in the countryside."
Afterwards, Lu explained the process in detail. When these words came out, Zhou Qianhong, Zhang Gongzheng and some people from the Gongzheng Division nearby were all startled, and then looked at Xiang Hong in surprise.
And there was murderous intent on everyone's face.
Better than beasts!
This was the only comment the four people had when looking at Xiang Hong.
Xiang Hong heard this and immediately cursed at Lu Cai, "Kill me if you dare!! You bastard who brought disaster to our family."
Lu Cai didn't say anything, but just said: "I'm sorry, you don't need to admit this matter yet. What's important now is."
As he spoke, Lu Cai began to flip through the book in his hand. Finally, Lu Cai said expressionlessly, "I found it. The Queen Mother asked you to contact people in Jianghu to murder Miss Chang'an."
Xiang Hong heard it without saying a word, but just looked at Lu Cai, or to be more precise, at the small knife that Lu Cai held between his little finger and ring finger.
Lu Cai looked at Xianghong without saying anything. After hesitating for a moment, he took a deep breath and walked up to Xianghong with a knife in hand.
Xiang Hong was terrified, struggling and yelling, "Don't come over here, get out! You little bastard! Get out of here!!"
Lu Cai walked to Xianghong and gently cut her leg a few times with a knife. A small square wound immediately appeared on Xianghong's leg.
Xianghong struggled even harder.
then
Lu Cai gently picked up a corner of the wound with a knife. The knife was very thin, and with Lu Cai's technique, the skin was lifted up immediately.
then
