Daming King of Punishment

At this time, Song Wuya looked at the shivering little eunuch, and immediately he smiled slightly, and went to pull the little eunuch up.

"Come on, come to the brazier to warm up, and tell me about what happened that day."

Song Wuya tried his best to maintain kindness, so that the little eunuch could let go of his fear and explain the situation to him thoroughly.

Who knows, as soon as he said those words, the little eunuch fell to his knees again with a thud, his forehead banged on the cold bluestone floor, which made Song Wuya frowned and felt distressed in his heart. .

The two generals looked at the little eunuch indifferently. The man who had just sat down suddenly got up and pulled out the sword at his waist, and a bright cold light immediately sprinkled on the ground.

"You eunuch! If you dare to be so ungrateful, this general will kill you immediately!"

This showy appearance made Song Wuya's original good impression of them greatly discounted.Looking at it now, the reason why they were so pleasant to Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo just now was probably all because of what Eunuch Zhao said by the way when he brought them here.

This scene made Song Wuya feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say much.

"General, don't scare him." Even so, Song Wuya couldn't tell what to do to him, but he still had a way to make the general obedient. "This little eunuch is not very old, and his heart is immature. After handling such a horrible thing, if you scare him like this again, it will drive him crazy. We will be worried about the delay in solving the case. Sorry."

When Eunuch Zhao came here, he had clearly stated that it was the emperor's will that Song Wuya came here to solve the case, and now that Song Wuya had brought out the facts of the case, the general would not dare to do anything wrong.After all, if the case cannot be solved, the emperor will blame him, and he will not be able to bear the responsibility.

The general remained silent, Song Wuya stepped forward and helped the little eunuch up.

At this moment, the little eunuch's forehead was already dripping with blood, and big tears had already fallen all over the floor.

"My lord, I don't know! I don't know anything!"

The little eunuch was obviously frightened, and he didn't dare to say anything at this moment.Seeing this scene, Song Wuya took a deep breath, and patiently said to him: "Don't worry, don't worry, just calm down slowly. Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you, and there is no other way in this world. There are no ghosts and ghosts, everything is a ghost in people's own mind. As long as you don't think there are ghosts, you won't be afraid."

Song Wuya's comfort was somewhat effective, the sobbing of the little eunuch gradually subsided, and the tears didn't stop.Song Wuya greeted Bai Zhuo immediately, and gave the little eunuch a simple treatment of the wound.

After waiting like this for nearly a stick of incense, the little eunuch's mood also recovered, and he didn't feel so cold when he was near the brazier.

It wasn't until this time that Song Wuya began to question him about the case step by step.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

"Reporting to my lord, it has been three years."

"Oh! Three years is not too short. How long have you been serving Concubine Yi?"

"Two years."

"Then what do you usually do?"

"It's all about chores."

"What did you do the night it happened?"

Song Wuya talked with the little eunuch one by one like this. The two generals frowned at the side and said nothing. They didn't know if they were disdainful of Song Wuya, or they felt that Song Wuya's interrogation was fundamental. It's not like that.On the contrary, it was Bai Zhuo who kept recording non-stop, recording the conversation between the two of them on the white paper without missing a single word.

But when Song Wuya mentioned that night, the little eunuch's calm face became turbulent again, and his expression suddenly became tense.After Song Wuya's inquiry, he hesitated a few times and opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

His expression was very nervous, Song Wuya saw that his eyes kept looking around, as if he was looking for something.

Song Wuya immediately understood this situation.He hurriedly said to the little eunuch: "What are you looking for? I told you that there are no ghosts in this world. Even if there are ghosts, you can't see them in broad daylight."

These words had a soothing effect, the little eunuch let out a long breath, and after a long time said again: "I'm lighting a candle."

Hearing this, Song Wuya was taken aback for a moment, thinking that this is really a coincidence.No wonder the little eunuch was frightened to such an extent, he was the one who couldn't light a candle in his relationship at that time.After learning about this, Song Wuya stood up with a smile, and led the little eunuch directly to the candlestick.

He came here with a branch lit in the brazier, looked at the little eunuch and said, "Look out!"

The crackling sound came immediately, and the little eunuch immediately showed confusion on his face, apparently not understanding what Song Wuya meant.Seeing that he was still confused, Song Wuya had no choice but to remind him.

"You light a candle every day, don't you know why the wick of this candle makes such a noise?"

Asked by him, the doubts on the little eunuch's face gradually dissipated, and he suddenly realized.The fearful look on his face disappeared immediately, and instead he shouted happily.

"I said why didn't it light up at the time? I was so busy watching the ghost floating in the room that I forgot about it."

The little prince became active all of a sudden, and Song Wuya himself was happy.After all, this kid is still young, if he leaves a shadow because of this incident, he will be sad for the rest of his life.

"Okay! Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

Song Wuya didn't have time to be happy with this kid, so he asked a question immediately.

The little eunuch was overjoyed, and when he asked the question, he immediately returned to Vino's appearance just now, and nodded hastily.

Several people sat down again, and the little eunuch began to tell the story of that day.

"The empress was so upset that day because she was pregnant with the dragon seed. The maids struggled for a long time, but the empress Yifei did not see any improvement. She was always groggy and looked very tired, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway. It continued like this until late at night, during which even the emperor came to check it himself, and after calling the imperial physician, there was no improvement. The emperor left in a hurry after explaining something, probably because he had something important to do. "

The little eunuch licked his lips and paused.He didn't say anything about drinking water, so he continued talking.

"There was nothing to do at first, and the little one was watching the candlesticks, but who knew, it was not long before midnight. Suddenly there was a loud bang on the palace door, and a gust of wind blew in. At that time, the little one just turned his head and took a look. , I couldn’t see anything all of a sudden. When the little one opened his eyes again, there was darkness in front of him. I was frightened at that time, and I was about to relight the candles in a hurry. But who knows, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t let it go. The candle was burning again. At this moment, there was a sudden burst of miserable laughter, a white light shone in the room, and the little one saw a white ghost floating in the room, which was extremely frightening. It was because of this that I didn’t notice at the time that the candle couldn’t be lit because someone poured water into it.”

Speaking of this, the little eunuch felt a little embarrassed.Obviously, this was because he was scared out of his wits at the time, so he didn't make a clear judgment.

Song Wuya looked at him and nodded, and then said: "Well, it's okay, you can continue talking."

"The ghost image was floating in the air in the temple, swinging back and forth, but I couldn't see her face clearly. It's just that the laughter was extremely frightening. At that time, my two legs were completely useless and I lost Many palace maids and eunuchs screamed in fear, but I was so scared that I couldn’t even cry out. I couldn’t light a candle anyway, so I could only curl up and hide until a few court ladies saw the ghost. Yes, and then I called Empress Yifei a few times. But we didn't hear Empress Yifei's answer, and we realized something was wrong. We hurriedly lit up a book and went to the bed, only to find that Empress Yifei had died tragically. On the phoenix bed."

This is roughly how things went. The little eunuch was obviously afraid at the time, and he didn't know much about most things. The description of some key points was quite vague, which made Song Wuya not very satisfied.Fortunately, there are other court ladies and eunuchs, so the follow-up matter can still be asked.

"Okay! You can go back." Song Wuya immediately said politely to the little eunuch, then looked up at the two generals beside him and said, "General, you can bring the next one up."

The little eunuch looked suspiciously at the two generals at the side, and asked tentatively, "General, don't you need to lock me up?"

"Hmph! That's a good idea! If you haven't investigated this case for a day, don't think about it for a day. Just stay here for me." When the general heard the little eunuch's question, he immediately cursed angrily. , Immediately shouted: "Come here, take it down."

The little eunuch's face was full of disappointment, it could be seen that he thought that after Song Wuya finished asking him, he would be fine.

Soon a palace lady was brought up. Although the clothes on this palace lady were not very clean, they were still tidy.It can be seen that the treatment here is much better than that of the eunuch.But Song Wuya understood this point, after all, this court lady is also the emperor's woman, it's not just for anyone who wants to tarnish or insult her.These two generals ate this bowl of rice, they knew this matter better than anyone else, so they treated this court lady politely.

"How long have you followed Concubine Yi?"

Seeing the calm face of the court lady, Song Wuya stopped talking nonsense to the little eunuch earlier, and directly asked about the subject.

Although the palace maid had some doubts about Song Wuya's identity, she didn't intend to resist at all. She answered directly to this question: "It's been two years."

"Two years?" Song Wuya asked for confirmation, he knew that Concubine Yi had only been in the palace for three years, but both of them had served Concubine Yi for two years at the same time.The reason for this doubt is that the maid in front of him seems to be older than himself, and it is definitely not two or three years since she entered the palace, so she asked such a question.

The palace maid was not at all surprised that Song Wuya would ask such a question, she nodded seriously: "Yeah! Two years, not only me, but everyone else has been with Empress Yifei for two years."
