Because there are many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, they comfort each other for loneliness, and everyone falls in love in private, which means that they can't sleep together, but they eat relatively and comfort each other's loneliness, so it is called "opposite food", also called "vegetable household".

Although the eunuchs are incomplete and have no surname ability, they still have psychological needs, and the palace maids are complete women, and they should have physiological and psychological reactions.

In the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, it was strictly forbidden for eunuchs and palace maids in the palace to eat, often with a cane, or even skinned to death, and then it was gradually relaxed, and during the Longqing and Wanli periods, it was no longer prohibited, and the emperor sometimes asked the eunuchs around him, "Who are you eating against?" "The people who were asked just told the truth, and some benevolent emperors also "acted as matchmakers" for eunuchs and palace maids!

It doesn't matter if you are Wu Zannu's food, but Wu Zannu died inexplicably, so it has a lot to do with it.

Liu Sandao slipped the two eunuchs out: "Qiqi Qin Governor, these two older ones are called Song Bao, and the younger ones are called Zhang Jinchao, and just now I found out that they both had been Wu Zannu's counterparts." ”

Song Bao is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, and his body is yellow and beardless, well, the last two words are nonsense, and it is strange that the eunuch wants to grow a beard.

Zhang Jinchao was twenty-four years old, with a white face...... Without.

These two were middle- and lower-level eunuchs in green robes, kneeling in front of Qin Lin, and they confessed that they had been wronged with tears in their eyes.

Qin Lin ignored them first, turned his head and asked Huo Chonglou: "Old Huo, are there any traces on the wall?" ”

Huo Chonglou said with certainty that no.

"You see, it's clear now, the murderer didn't come from outside," Qin Lin spread his hands, "And if you want Wu Zannu to eat the reading materials willingly, only acquaintances can do it, so the two of you are the most suspicious, right?" ”

Song Bao and Zhang Jinchao both bowed their heads and snorted, knowing that Qin Lin was not lying and threatening.

Lu Fatzi said with a wicked smile on his face: "So, only by telling everything you know and honestly saying it, can you have a little chance of survival." ”

"I said, I said," Song Bao and Zhang Jinchao scrambled.

"Come one by one, Song Bao, you are old, you first," Qin Lin did not take separate confessions this time, but let them hear each other what the other party said, which was an interrogation technique.

Song Bao is not only old, but also met Wu Zannu first, maybe he has compassion after witnessing the death of his old lover, maybe the old love is not extinguished, maybe he wants to show his innocence in front of Qin Lin, in short, he recalled the bits and pieces since he met Wu Zannu very earnestly, but it is very much like an infatuation.

"This year, just in February of this year, this guy snatched Wu Zannu!" Song Bao pointed at Zhang Jinchao bitterly: "It's not that he has a little white face, and he still has a mouth that can speak, hum...... Lord Qin, I won't tell you anything, the little one loves Wu Zan Nu like a treasure, even if she is taken away by this little white face, the little one is just preparing to go out of the palace to become a monk, how can he kill her? ”

Qin Lin made a look, Huo Chonglou and Liu Sandao asked Mu Shun to lead the way, and sure enough, Du Mu and a few monk robes were found in Song Bao's room.

It is very easy for eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty to get out of the palace, buy charcoal, vegetables, needles, threads and brains or something can sneak out, except for the big eunuchs who are familiar with the secrets around the emperor, and no one cares if the ordinary eunuchs run away, because there are many beggars in the south of the city, and the door of the Forbidden City is very pretty, only those who can't get in, and no one stays if they want to leave.

After Song Bao finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jinchao fiercely, eager to swallow him in one bite.

When it was Zhang Jinchao's turn, he first sighed and said to Song Bao gloomily: "Why is Brother Song doing this? In fact, Zannu has never forgotten you in her heart, she eats against me, doesn't she often go to you secretly? Alas, although she eats against me, her heart is not with me! ”

"Fart, fart!" Song Bao was furious, "Wu Zannu was deceived by you, so she was cold to me, if this is the case, why should I become a monk?" ”

Seeing this, everyone laughed secretly in their stomachs, two eunuchs fighting for women, what's the use of fighting for it?

Qin Lin squinted his eyes thoughtfully, and Shaoqing asked Huo Chonglou to search Zhang Jinchao's room, and found a lot of dried fruit preserves, as well as some knick-knacks, such as embroidered purses, small porcelain figures, and the like.

Seeing these things, Song Bao's eyes turned red again, and he wanted to pinch Zhang Jinchao: "Bastard, you just used these things to deceive Wu Zannu's heart, and deceived her to follow you, why kill her again?" ”

Niu Dali stepped forward and wanted to separate the two, Qin Lin made a look, and Lao Niu took two steps back and let it go.

Zhang Jinchao looked sad: "Didn't I want to please her, so I bought these little things?" Alas, in fact, she was lukewarm to me, so I was delusional......"

"It turns out that she wants to get back together with me, so you poisoned her and killed her!" Song Bao heard Zhang Jinchao say this, and he was like crazy.

Qin Lin nodded vigorously to Niu at this time, and Lao Niu stepped forward to separate the two, they were entangled for a while, and there were a lot of blood marks on their heads and faces.

"The murderer is one of them," Lu Yuanzhi lowered his voice and said excitedly in Qin Lin's ear.

Qin Lin pondered for a moment and asked the two eunuchs, "So, what about the silver tools you use?" ”

The two said in unison: "What silver?" ”

Qin Lin pointed to the corpse: "I found out just now that she is not a complete body, of course it is the two of you who have done something against each other, what, are you still embarrassed?" ”

"No, no! I'm just eating against her," Zhang Jinchao shook his hand in panic.

Song Bao's face turned dark, and he grabbed the other party: "You bastard......"

Before the words fell, tears fell from his eyes, but it was a seed of infatuation.

By now, the time has reached noon, looking at the head above his head gradually drifting westward, Huo Chonglou couldn't help but become anxious, his scorched nails were peeled off, and he asked in a low voice: "Lord Qin, why don't we wait for the big punishment, anyway, the murderer is one of the two of them." ”

"That's what I thought at first," Qin Lin said in a meaningful voice.

What, what does Lord Qin mean? Huo Chonglou was a little confused again, could it be that the murderer was not these two eunuchs who were eating against Wu Zannu, but someone else?

Qin Lin smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Lao Huo, rest assured, it is not difficult to solve the case and capture the murderer, because the murderer is within the palace walls!" Let's go inside and have a look. ”

What Qin Lin said about us, in fact, he and Liu Sandao and Lu Yuanzhi entered the room, because the scene was a house where the palace maid lived, and the space was not large, so it was really difficult to accommodate too many people.

The interior furnishings are very simple, that is, a table, two benches, a two-door wardrobe on the north side, a large box next to it, a kang on the west side, and a bed roll, pillow and kang table on it, that is where Wu Zannu's body is lying, and some places are stained with blood.

Qin Lin noticed that there was candied fruit on the table, he picked it up and smelled it, and then ordered the fan servant to bring a dog and mix the candied fruit in the meat for the dog to eat.

The poor dog, whose fate was exactly the same as that of his predecessors, soon straightened out his four legs and died no longer to die.

Everyone was in an uproar, and cold sweat broke out on Zhang Jinchao's forehead.

Liu Sandao took the candied fruit to the sun and observed it carefully, and diluted it with a large basin of water, diluted to a very light degree, he dipped a little bit on the tip of his tongue, and finally returned with a very positive effect: "It's peacock gall." ”

This is a common poison in the palace, and the nobles use it to give death to those palace maids and eunuchs who have committed crimes, which is not easy to obtain under normal circumstances, but if it takes a few years and does not miss every opportunity, then there is no shortage of possible surnames to get their hands on.

Of course, the emperor and the nobles will not be poisoned, because their diet is prepared by the imperial dining room under heavy supervision, and there is a special person to test the poison before eating, but unfortunately Wu Zannu does not enjoy such treatment.

Zhang Jinchao knelt on the ground with a plop: "The little one, the small one is not poisoned, the Qin Governor Mingjian, the little one is wronged!" ”

Huo Chonglou grabbed Zhang Jinchao: "The evidence is like a mountain, do you still want to deny it?" ”

Liu Sandao smiled and threw his hand towards Qin Lin: "Congratulations to Governor Qin, congratulations to Governor Qin, solve this huge case in the palm of your hand!" ”

"Alas, in your minds, is Ben the one who has wronged the innocent to free himself?" Qin Lin glanced at the two of them sternly, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, even if he wanted to close the case, with Xing Shangzhi and his gang staring at it, he would not be able to succeed.

That's not it, Xing Shangzhi, Bai Yuliang, Lang Xiaohe, and Cui Guangwei all sneered, exchanging glances with each other, not knowing what the hell to do.

Huo Chonglou and Liu Sandao's old faces turned red, knowing that they were in love, it was indeed not Zhang Jinchao who poisoned him, at least it would not be him who poisoned the candied fruit.

Because it has been investigated very clearly, after Wu Zannu's death, the murderer still had a lot of leisure to gouge off her two eyeballs, and took a lot of time to peel off her clothes and draw blood lotus, there is time to do these things, how can he leave a bag of poisoned candied fruit?

After killing Wu Zannu, it was clear that the real murderer put poison in the candied fruit given to her by Zhang Jinchao, so as to set up the blame.

"It's really a snake to add to it," Qin Lin shook his head with a smile, if he wants to pretend to be the White Lotus Sect, he will pretend to the end, why bother to blame Zhang Jinchao.

The murderer wanted to cover it up, but instead exposed the most critical thing: he was in the palace, he was familiar with the relationship between Wu Zannu and Zhang Jinchao, and even knew that this bag of candied fruit was given by Zhang Jinchao!

Qin Lin let out a long breath, the scope of the murderer has really been narrowed to a very small range, if the previous inference is more based on the intuition formed by the long-term cracking of the case and the murderer, then by now, there is conclusive and sufficient evidence to circle the murderer within the set range!

"Isn't it Song Bao?" Lu Yuanzhi asked in a low voice: "Because he has a grudge against Wu Zannu's empathy, he pretends to be a monk, but in fact he murders people, and then blames his rival Zhang Jinchao." Moreover, Zhang Jinchao said that Song Bao and Wu Zannu still have dealings, of course he knows that the candied fruit was sent by Zhang Jinchao......"

"No, you carefully taste the confessions of these two," Qin Lin smiled and raised three fingers: "Dancing on three eggs, this woman finally stepped on the eggs......"
