Chapter 87: Taboo

Gu Mingke was taken away by Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge smiled and took over the evidence, and said to the subordinates who followed: "Move all these back to the Town Demon Division. The corpse is taken to the morgue for safekeeping."

The subordinates should go down. The emperor allocated a thousand people to Li Chaoge from the Beiya imperial army, and now Li Chaoge has an unprecedented abundance of singers. Soldiers moved in and out, Li Chaoge stopped in the gallery to pay attention, He Lanqing slowly walked to Li Chaoge's side, smiling? Asked: "The cousin seems to be very familiar with Gu Shaoqing. Why did the cousin deliberately make Shaoqing angry today?"

Li Chaoge stared at the crowd, without turning his head back, and said coldly: "First of all, you should call my commander during the period of going to court. Secondly, if I am familiar with him or not, what should I do with you?"

Li Chaoge's words were merciless, and He Lanqing's smile gradually faded, saying: "Princess Sheng Yuan is cold and indifferent to everyone, except for Gu Shaoqing. I thought that Gu Shaoqing is different in the princess's heart."

He Lanqing said these words deliberately to arouse Li Chaoge, did not expect Li Chaoge to smile, looking back with a smile but not smiling? He Lanqing said: "It is different. After all, his appearance, temperament, conversation, and learning are far beyond ordinary, with this jade. In the past, who can still see fish eyes? It's useless for ordinary men to provoke me, don't you think, cousin Helan?"

He Lanqing reluctantly curled her lips, and smiled, "Well, there is Xi Shi in the eyes of the lover, what Princess Sheng Yuan said."

After Li Chaoge taunted He Lanqing with a gun and a stick, he withdrew his gaze, even Yu Guang didn't bother to give alms. For this kind of ordinary greasy but self-confident man, you can't give him a good face. He Lanqing's frivolous appearance is just what the women around him are used to.

Mrs. Korea is just such a son, and He Lanqing has a good skin, and he has red lips and white teeth when he was a child. Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Yang are very fond of him. The female elders of the Wu family were accustomed to him, and the maids of Helan Mansion were accustomed to him, and even the women in the brothel outside were obedient to him. But He Lanqing was not ashamed, but rather proud.

However, women outside are used to him, but Li Chaoge can't. He Lanqing repeatedly bumped into Li Chaoge's place, and finally no longer dared to provoke Li Chaoge, and left angrily. Li Chaoge snorted in his heart, and directed the subordinates of the Town Demon Division: "You continue to move, you will not? You must wait for me, and I will directly pull back to the Town Demon Division. I will come as soon as I go."

"Yes."

When Li Chaoge came to the Korean wife's house to investigate the case, he couldn't go straight back and forth, he always went to visit his aunt before leaving. Li Chaoge walked to the main courtyard. The Korean lady and He Lanmin had been waiting in the room for a long time. The maid came in to spread the word, and the Korean lady put down the spoon and sighed slowly: "It's finally here."

He Lanmin stood up and helped Mrs. Korea to get up. Li Chaoge came in and saw, and said, "Auntie, wait. You are not in good health, just rest assured, how dare I bother my aunt to get up."

The Korean lady gave in, so Shi Shiran sat back down. He Lanmin grabbed the guts, and squatted for Li Chaoge's happiness: "Princess Sheng Yuan."

"Cousin Helan."

The Korean lady reclined on the beauty couch, and the maid knelt on both sides, gently fanning the Korean lady. The Korean lady yawned with one hand, covering her mouth, her sleeves slipped from her arms, revealing a large area of ​​plump and moist skin.

Li Chaoge saw it and asked, "What's wrong with you aunt? Didn't you sleep last night?"

The Korean lady put down her hand and complained: "No? Know what's going on? I've always been sleepy during the day. I want to sleep at night and can't sleep? It's really annoying if I don't stay sleepy during the day."

The complaining tone of the Korean lady is charming and charming, soft as water, as if a cat is acting like a baby. Isn’t Li Chaoge a man? Since she was a child, she didn’t understand the cuteness of acting like a baby. When she heard this, she seriously suggested to the Korean lady: "My aunt is sleepy during the day and can’t sleep at night? Mostly it’s a lack of exercise. The body is weak and lack of energy. Aunty can do more activities, such as horse riding and archery, running and outing."

After Li Chaoge said this, the room fell into a brief silence. After a while, the Korean lady half-hidden her face and smiled coquettishly: "Thank you Shengyuan for reminding me, but I'm getting older, so you young people don't bother to move."

Li Chaoge thought that it was the Korean lady who complained about her fatigue and weakness. Li Chaoge gave a solution. She said that she was too lazy to move. So what did she want? Li Chaoge doesn't want to say it again, nodded and said: "Aunty can arrange it by herself. Cousin and cousin are filial, and they will surely share the worries for you."

When Mrs. Korea heard the eye movement here, she held on to the embroider, sat up slowly, and sighed: "I have worked for most of my life, but now I want to enjoy the good fortune. However, the two brothers and sisters are noisy each other, which makes me How to feel at ease? Min'er is okay. She will be seventeen this year. I will choose a husband and son for her, and I will be stable for the rest of my life. But Dalang is not sure? Come down, I said to marry him several times, he always Saying that I’m still young, don’t you? I want to be bound by a woman. Oh, don’t? Know me? When can I hold my grandson."

He Lanmin shook his fan for the Korean lady, glanced at Li Chaoge lightly, and said, "Aniang, don't you? Anxious, brother, don't you want to get married, just because you haven't met someone you like. Wait? When he met, his heart was settled."

The Korean lady chuckled and said, "I hope he settles down as soon as possible. Nor? I know which girl it is that can let him take care of it."

Doesn't Li Chaoge? Like to fight against women, but that doesn't mean she doesn't understand. How many people Li Chaoge has seen in the past two lifetimes, how can the ability to observe words and colors be comparable to those of the Korean ladies? Li Chaoge noticed He Lanmin's eyes, and then think about the seemingly non-existent voice of the Korean lady, He Lanqing's ambiguous attitude, how can he not understand what these people want to do?

It turns out that the Korean lady wrote to the Queen and asked Li Chaoge to take over the case of the servant girl in Helan Mansion. On the surface, she wanted to drive away Dali? Temple, but in fact, it was to bring Li Chaoge and He Lanqing together. The Korean lady has a very high vision. She picks and chooses the noble ladies in Dongdu. She feels that no one is worthy of her precious son. In a blink of an eye, she actually stares at the princess.

With the spirit of Mrs. Korea and Mrs. Yang, he would never be willing to let He Lanqing Shang Shu be a princess, but Li Changle has been close to Pei’s family since he was a child. Even if the Korean wife prefers her son, she also knows that He Lanqing will not be able to compare with Pei Ji'an anyway. . Originally, the Korean lady had given up this idea, but Li Chaoge came back.

Li Chaoge and He Lanqing are four years apart, they are rich and beautiful, and they are still the eldest daughter. Looking at the changes in the direction of the court this year, the saint is extremely supportive of the eldest daughter and loves the little pearl Li Changle, who is no less than the eastern capital. The Korean lady's mind gradually became more active. Seeing that Li Chaoge is getting older, no one wants to marry anymore. Why not marry He Lanqing, cousins ​​and sisters, don’t they? Just right?

As for Li Chaoge's public appearance all day long? The Korean lady can be generous to ignore. He Lanqing can't endure the bitterness. Only the golden mud and jade scraps can support him. Although Li Chaoge's wife is not gentle and interesting, but at least he can make money. The Korean wife and He Lanqing can barely accept it.

The Korean lady thought she looked very concealed in her eyes, but in Li Chaoge's eyes it seemed to be nothing. Li Chaoge was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say for a while.

It was the first time she saw eating soft rice, and she was so picky and full of superiority. Li Chaoge doesn't mind supporting the family, but the question is, why does she want to choose He Lanqing?

With Li Chaoge's powerful position, she hooked, and some men rushed forward. The same little white face, why not Li Chaoge? If Bai Qianhe is chosen, at least Bai Qianhe can fight with light functions. What can He Lanqing do?

Doesn't Li Chaoge? I want to sit down again. She even regretted it a little bit. She should have choked off Gu Mingke just now. This case should be handed over to Dali Temple.

The Korean lady and the maid in Helan Mansion both looked at Li Chaoge with a joke. They thought they would see a blushing girl with a spring face, but they only saw Li Chaoge stand up coldly, his eyes calm and face. Ruo Bingshuang: "Cousin Helan is really young. It's time to find a cousin. It’s just that the cousin’s personal integrity is everywhere, and there are friends everywhere. I’m afraid it’s not easy to find a cousin who is tolerant. My aunt needs to speed up."

The Korean lady's face condensed. She straightened up and was about to speak. Li Chaoge preempted her to say: "I have something to do in the town demon division? Let's take a step ahead. My cousin is overjoyed in the coming day, and I will bring my husband to the door to congratulate me. My aunt stayed. Goodbye."

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he didn't bother to watch Mrs. Korea's reaction, and turned around and left. The Korean lady was curled up lazily like a cat. At this moment, the comfort on her face was swept away, and the pink face turned from red to white, and finally turned into iron blue.

He Lanmin didn't know whether to go out to send Li Chaoge or stay here to comfort her mother. She looked at Mrs. Korea's face and said: "Aniang, Princess Shengyuan is arrogant and self-willed, don't you? Care. She is loved by the saint again, marriage and other things? It still depends on the words of her parents."

The anger on the Korean lady's face was hard to dissipate. Since the Queen of Heaven took office, everyone was holding the Korean lady, and few dared to shake the Korean lady's face. Mrs. South Korea thought that both parents were happy, but she was ridiculed in person by a junior. How could she bear this kind of anger?

The Korean lady was angry and threw her handkerchief off her handkerchief angrily: "I meant it well, she didn't appreciate it, and she even said that her husband was angry with me. Is this what an unmarried lady should say?"

The Korean lady sat for a while after scolding? Still out of anger? Over: "Did someone tell her something? Good point, how could she? Say ‘Bring the horse to the door and be happy’?"

The maid who beat her leg by the couch lowered her head, dare not to come out. An aunt-like person stopped talking. Finally, he approached the Korean lady's ear and whispered: "Madam, there are rumors in the palace that Princess Shengyuan favors a cousin of the Pei family very much, and even the saint queen knows it."

"Oh?" The Korean lady raised her eyebrows. How could a cousin who was sitting under the fence compare to her son? The Korean lady sneered and sneered: "Where did you get here?"

"It's the only son of the Guangyuan Gu family," said the aunt. "It's the Dali Temple Gu Shaoqing who came to the mansion today."

"Is it him?" The Korean lady stared in surprise. The Korean lady never asked about the world. During this time, I also heard that the saint valued a young man and was promoted. Unexpectedly, Li Chaoge's favorite person was actually him.

Mrs. Korea raised her eyebrows and her face sank. This is a bit difficult.

When Li Chaoge left the gate of Helan's house, she was still disgusted. When she returned to the town demon division, she calmed down. Isn't Li Chaoge an ordinary lady, if other women are forced by their parents to marry someone they don't like, they may confess their fate after crying, but won't Li Chaoge?

What she doesn't want to do? Love, no one can force her, neither will the queen.

Li Chaoge? I want to find out whether the queen knows the plan of Mrs. Korea. The Queen sent her to investigate the case at Helan's house, and what Li Chaoge would do was only investigating the case.

Li Chaoge walked into the Town Demon Division, and his subordinates reported: "Commander, Dali Temple has sent the dossier, where do you think it should be placed?"

Li Chaoge said, "Put it on my desk."

"Yes."

Li Chaoge went to the East Hall to explain the matter. After returning, the files were neatly placed on her desk. Li Chaoge picked up a file of case files, with beautiful handwriting, clean curls, and well-organized clues, which was Gu Mingke's handwriting at first glance.

Li Chaoge didn't feel guilty about occupying the fruits of other people's labor. She changed her posture and continued to watch comfortably.

The young lady of the wealthy family, the wife of Liang Chuang Shucheng, and the maid of Helan Mansion. If this is a serial murder, then the murderer must have a deep hatred with them, and at the same time they will be able to come into contact with women of completely different classes. Li Chaoge thought of the death of these people, abdominal pain, coughing up blood, and colic. It sounded like some kind of poison, but Wu Zuo did not detect the poison on the body.

Li Chaoge knows that poisoning is the most difficult to detect because it can only be compared with the existing toxins. If it is not a known poison, it must be tested like a needle in a haystack. There are so many poisons in the world, who knows what killed the dead?

For serial drug killings, one method is to carefully check the things the deceased had touched before his death, and the other method is to check the relationship between the people. If these three people really died of serial murderers, then the three must overlap.

Li Chaoge carefully looked at the file records. The wealthy man was born as a silk and satin. He was kind to a man, and he was a little rich. He had never had a grudge with others, and he couldn't think of anyone who would harm his daughter. Guanglu Temple Liangjianshen Cheng is a nine-rank official, and he can't find it in the eastern capital. His wife also grows flowers and teases birds. The weather is good and the ladies of the same class go out to collect the wind, everything is tracked. They are no different from ordinary petty officials' wives, and ordinary people don't even have enemies. As for He Lanqing’s favored maid, Wanxiang, she has many enemies, but they are all maidservants in the house, who are usually good at pinching their tips, fighting for the wind and being jealous. Once they become true, those women have no power to kill chickens. , It’s really not like being able to do high-IQ cases like serial poisoning.

The more Li Chaoge looked at it, the more headaches she got. She went to check the family background of the three and found that the wealthy family, Liangjian Shucheng, and Helan Mansion were unable to fight. The three deceased did not know each other and had no contact at all. It is really hard to imagine what exactly connects these three.

Li Chaoge studied for an afternoon until Sanya was still thinking about it. Li Chaoge has now moved out of Ziwei Palace and lives in his princess mansion. She rode a horse back to the mansion, and the concierge of the princess mansion saw her and quickly ran down to lead the horse: "Princess Jinan."

Li Chaoge got off his horse, handed the reins to the porter, and said, "Pull down to feed the grass, so you can take care of it."

"The slave understands."

After Li Chaoge set up his mount, he went back to the main hall to take a bath. Princess Shengyuan’s Mansion is located in Chengfufang, next to the imperial city, and the Luohe River right out of the door, with beautiful scenery and an excellent location. This house was originally a dowry for Li Changle. It has been built one after another five years ago. Now it has been built to be magnificent and majestic. Li Chaoge stayed in calmly, and didn't feel that he had seized Li Changle's things. The princess mansion is the property of the imperial court, and the emperor will give it to whoever gives it. This house belongs to Li Chaoge in the previous life, and even more so in this life. Li Changle couldn't rob Li Chaoge for two lifetimes. If you want to complain, blame the saint and the queen.

After taking a shower, Li Chaoge casually pulled up his wet hair and went to the study to read the dossier. The window of the study was ajar, and the bamboo curtain spikes swayed leisurely. Li Chaoge looked at it for a while, and heard the voice of the maid shouting outside.

Li Chaoge got up, rolled up the curtain, and looked out the window. In the yard, the maid of the princess's mansion is holding a bamboo pole, what is it driving in the bushes. Li Chaoge looked at it for a while, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The maids looked back and saw Li Chaoge, and hurriedly saluted: "See the princess. Did the slaves bother the princess?"

"It's okay." Li Chaoge waved casually and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"A black cat." The maids replied, "Is it allowed to keep cats in the palace? This black cat didn't know where it came from. It has been circling for a day today and would not be allowed to beat it. The servant girl is afraid that it will howl at night. Scream, disturbed the princess, so I came out to drive her away."

"Cat?" Li Chaoge was a little surprised. Does the palace allow cats? She also knows that this is an unwritten rule. Since the death of Concubine Xiao Shu, there will be no cats in the palace.

Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang died in an extremely miserable state. They were chopped off their limbs, stuffed into a jar, and suffocated alive. The Queen was also vicious, so she soaked the two of them into the wine jar and hung them with ginseng. After torturing for several days, she agreed to end.

There is a reason why the queen hates this. After Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang were abolished, they stayed quietly in the cold palace together. Once the emperor couldn't bear it, and secretly visited Concubine Xiao Shu and Queen Wang. He was very heartbroken when he saw that his former beloved wife and concubine had become like this. After this incident reached Tianhou's ears, Tianhou was furious and went to the emperor fiercely. The emperor both loved and feared the queen of heaven. Once the queen became stronger, he would become weaker. Finally, the emperor was persuaded by the queen to give the queen and concubine Xiao Shu full power to the queen.

When the emperor made this decision, he already knew that the Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu would? What situation would they face? But the emperor didn't listen to it, and let the Tian Hou come forward to be a villain. The Queen of Heaven soaked these two women in the wine jar, just to satirize the whimsical Queen and Concubine Xiao Shu, who wanted to turn over by showing weakness. Since they can dream, take a good dip in the wine jar and let them get drunk to their bones.

It is said that Concubine Xiao Shu once yelled like crazy before her death: "A Wu is demon, even here! May he give birth to me as a cat, A Wu as a rat, give birth to a life, and choke his throat!"

The painful howls of Concubine Xiao Shu and the Queen revolved in the cold palace for three days, and all the palace ladies and eunuchs who heard the cries trembled and had nightmares for half a year. Later, no one in the palace dared to keep a cat.

Concubine Xiao Shu said that she would be reborn as a cat in her next life and take revenge on the queen. If the people in the palace still keep cats, are they afraid? Is it because they think their lives will be long. Later, the queen and the saint came to Luoyang. After living for many years, the affairs of the queen and concubine Xiao Shu gradually faded away, but the taboo of not allowing cats in the palace remained.

Li Chaoge didn't care about the words of these ghosts, but the Queen didn't want to see the cat. There was no need for Li Chaoge to fight against the Queen. Li Chaoge looked into the grass and said, "Go find some oranges and incense with orange peel, so the wild cats will not dare to come near."

The maid promised to go to the kitchen to find citrus. Li Chaoge put down the bamboo curtain, and when he looked back at the scroll, he began to have trouble again.

She sighed for a long time, closed her eyes, and pondered slowly: "February 30, March 12, March 24...what does it matter? Does it matter?"

The maid came in to change tea and heard Li Chaoge's voice and replied: "Princess, are you looking for the relationship between these days? Isn't that? Simple, these days are all twelve days away."

Li Chaoge opened his eyes, the maid was startled by the look in Li Chaoge's eyes, and stammered: "Princess, did the slave and maid make a mistake..."

Li Chaoge stared at her for a long time, thoughtfully, and said, "This is also an idea. Could it have something to do with Twelve?"

The maid knelt on the side of the collapse with a hot water bottle, trembling, in a dilemma. Li Chaoge came back to his senses and waved to the frightened maid: "It's okay, you go down. Wait? Wait? Get the calendar."

Early the next morning, the sky was weak, and officials from Dali Temple entered the door one after another. They were talking to each other early when they suddenly saw a figure walking in and asking, "Where is Gu Mingke?"

The officials of the Dali Temple were stunned. An official pointed out: "Shaoqing is in the Sogo Hall."

Li Chaoge said nothing, lifted his clothes and walked to Sogo Hall. The people at Dali Temple looked in surprise? Li Chaoge's back, one after another asked: "What happened to Princess Sheng Yuan? Why did you come to Shaoqing early in the morning?"

"No? I know. They just robbed the case of Dali Temple yesterday. Shaoqing had a good temper and didn't care about them. Why is Princess Sheng Yuan still asking for trouble today?"

Li Chaoge hurried to the front of Gu Mingke's palace and opened the door of the palace with a palm: "Gu Mingke!"

The hall door hit the wall with a loud bang. Gu Mingke was writing something, it was difficult for him to make such a loud voice, and his fingers didn't shake at all.

Gu Mingke hung his wrist straight, without lifting his head, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Chaoge didn't feel that she needed to converge on someone else's territory. She strode to the temple, sat down aggressively, and said, "I know what the three cases are? Are there any connections."

Gu Mingke's face was calm, and said, "Are you talking about the case at the Korean wife's house yesterday? This case has been transferred to the Town Demon Division. It has nothing to do with Dali Temple. What did the princess come to me to say?"

Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows, his patience gradually ran out: "Can you listen?"

Gu Mingke put down his pen, straightened his sleeves, and said, "Let's talk about it."

Li Chaoge immediately cheered up and said: "It turns out that these cases have other secrets. The three victims seem to have nothing to do with each other. In fact, their death dates are all twelve days apart. I checked the calendar yesterday and found that these three Heaven is a child day."

After Li Chaoge finished speaking, he looked expectantly? Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke looked back, and after a while, Gu Mingke asked, "You thought about it all night and came up with this?"

Li Chaoge's expression is not? Happy: "You knew it a long time ago?"

"Such an obvious thing? Love, I thought you would have guessed it when you heard the date." Gu Mingke sighed, "In the future, read more books and listen less to those sloppy things."

Li Chaoge was stunned for a moment, and was immediately angered. She got up angrily, and didn't even want to talk to Gu Mingke. Damn it, look down on? Whom does she want? Show him the case!

The Ya Ya trot? Send a message to Gu Mingke. When he approached, he suddenly saw Princess Sheng Yuan coming out aggressively. He was shocked, braked quickly, and almost ran into Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge took a step back and dodged the Ya Ya in time. The Ya Ya will stand firm and quickly apologize to Li Chaoge: "Princess forgive me, don't your subordinates know that you are in the house."

Ya Ya was frightened, for fear of offending this unprovoked princess. But Princess Sheng Yuan hasn't said anything? Instead, Gu Shaoqing came out of the temple, calmly? Looking at him with a face: "What are you doing? Why are you panicking?"

Gu Shaoqing's eyes trembled. He reacted and hurriedly saluted: "Shaoqing, princess, something has happened in the palace?"

Li Chaoge actually didn't care about the offense of the yamen. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The Queen wants to give Princess Yi'an a marriage, and points to the guard at the gate of the palace, Quan Da."

Li Chaoge's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Who is Princess Ngee An?"

"The daughter of Concubine Xiao Shu."

The author has something to say: Ah Wu is cunning, and even this! May he give birth to me as a cat, and Wu as a rat, so that he can live and choke his throat. -"Zhi Zhi Tong Jian"
