Chapter 611 Waiting for the Rabbit
After Wang Gui followed the Han Wangfu team into Beijing, he was immediately appointed as the eunuch of the Silijian and received a secret order to assist Gao Xianning. The death of the late emperor involved people in the palace; with the assistance of the eunuch of the Silijian, Gao Xianning secretly investigated the case, which made it more convenient.
In the old mansion of the King of Han to the west of the imperial city, there are now troops stationed from the former King of Han Shouyu Mansion North Office. Gao Xianning, the minister of Dali Temple, was not in the yamen office, but set up a temple in the old mansion of the King of Han, where he specializes in handling the imperial cases. At the same time, he can call on the staff of the King of Han during the case handling period.
When the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the study, Gao Xianning was sitting inside, as if he was thinking about something. At this time, Gao Xianning stood up, and after seeing the ceremony, he sat down again.
"Gaosiqing is still reading the file?" Wang Gui asked.
Gao Xianning said, "I have finished reading it long ago. But now I can't do anything when I go out." He pointed to the secret scroll in front of him and said, "The Xuebutang has written all the things that can be found on the surface. It is very detailed and detailed."
Wang Gui asked tentatively: "Is there still no clue?"
There were only two people in the study, so Gao Xianning said clearly: "The emperor believes that 'Ma Gong' is a clue, and I also think so. I was planning how to start just now."
Wang Gui nodded seriously.
Gao Xianning glanced at him and said, "It's not that there is no clue. 'Mr. Ma Gong adopted the eunuch Wang Yin a few years ago. Although the person left, the temple is still there. We are just considering whether we want to check the mansion and ask the people living nearby? See if we can find some clues."
Wang Gui slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "It makes sense! Why didn't our family expect it?"
Unexpectedly, Gao Xianning shook his head and said, "I have rejected this method. If it is absolutely necessary, we should not make a big fuss and startle the snake! This case has been happening for more than a year, but it has never been involved in Ma Gong. Maybe he feels that the wind has passed and the people are still in the capital? Why do we have to make him wary early?"
Wang Gui said a little embarrassedly: "We know nothing about him now, so where should we start? We can't sit here and wait?"
"Eunuch Wang is right!" Gao Xianning said, "The other way that Xiaguan thought of is 'waiting for the rabbit'! Waiting for Ma Gong to show up, this plan is more stable."
Gao Xianning pondered for a moment, then reached out and knocked on a piece of paper on the table twice. Wang Gui hurriedly stretched his neck to see what was going on.
Gao Xianning said, "We just talked about the house where 'Ma Gong' lived; but there is another best place to start with, eunuch Wang Yin himself! It is now certain that after Ma Gong disappeared, he contacted Wang Yin several times, and there must be a relationship between the two of them!"
There were many sloppy words written on the paper in front of me. There was indeed a thick line between the names "Ma Gong" and "Wang Yin".
Wang Gui frowned and said, "The Emperor said that Ma Gong had contacted Wang Yin twice before, and Ma Gong contacted Wang Yin alone when Wang Yin left the palace to purchase. Now we only have Wang Yin, so we can't contact Ma Gong even if we go back to the past!"
Gao Xianning asked back: "How does Ma Gong know when Wang Yin will leave the palace to purchase?"
Wang Gui was stunned for a moment and pondered: "There are his people in the palace?"
"This person is very likely to be Wang Gou'er! Because Wang Yin is an eunuch working in the imperial kitchen, and Wang Gou'er was originally an eunuch Shangshenjian; therefore, only Wang Gou'er is the easiest to determine in advance when Wang Yin will leave the palace." Gao Xianning said slowly while thinking about something.
Wang Gui thought for a while, nodded and said, "It makes sense. In this way, Wang Gou'er is still suspicious."
Gao Xianning said: "Wang Gou'er has never been able to get rid of the biggest suspicion!"
He continued, "This plan will require the help of the Prince. Please ask Wang Yin to continue working in the imperial kitchen, and then call Cao Fu, the eunuch of Shangshen, to take Wang Yin out of the palace to purchase things. You will instruct Wang Yin to ask him to go to the imperial prison from time to time to deliver food to Wang Gou'er... After all, he is his godfather."
Wang Gui pondered for a long time, raised his hand and made a gesture, "Gao Siqing's intention is to ask Wang Yin to leave the palace to purchase, so that Ma Gong can contact Wang Yin; and let Wang Yin go in and out of the imperial prison to deliver food to his godfather (Wang Gouer) to make Ma Gong feel that there is an opportunity... So Ma Gong may show up and let Wang Yin kill Wang Gouer to silence him?!"
Gao Xianning nodded and said, "That's about that."
Wang Gui said: "The Edict Prison is in the Imperial City. How did Ma Gong know that Wang Yin could enter and exit the Edict Prison?"
Gao Xianning said calmly: "This person is most likely the culprit of the poison | killing the late emperor. There should be someone in the palace! Maybe he knows more than we think of."
Wang Gui nodded thoughtfully, clasped his fists and said, "Our family is an amateur in the case trial, but we are just here to assist Gao Siqing. If Gao Siqing can use it, just give it your order."
Gao Xianning said: "Actually, I am also an amateur, and I have never worked as a criminal law before."
The two looked at each other. Wang Gui: "..."
Wang Gui thought about it and asked again: "One of our family still has something to do. Why does Wang Yin have to listen to Ma Gong now and take the risk of going to the imperial prison to kill Wang Gou'er?"
Gao Xianning said: "Ma Gong used to deceive Wang Yin, but now he can come up with a solution; in Ma Gong's plan, Wang Yin may just be one of the links to silence Wang Gou'er. Now there are too few clues, so it's okay to use this method to try it first."
After hearing this, Wang Gui agreed to Gao Xianning's plan and stood up to say goodbye.
After walking out of the study, Wang Gui met Du Erlang, the governor of Jinyiwei North; after the two of them met, Du Erlang walked into the study.
Wang Gui looked back and felt that Du Erlang seemed to be familiar with Gao Xianning because he didn't even knock on the door when he entered the study.
After walking through the corridor, Wang Gui met Yao Fang again. Yao Fang and others were there, clasped his fists and said, "I will be ordered by Gao Siqing to wait for the prince here. I will send the prince out, please!"
"General Yao is fine?" Wang Gui glanced at his face and asked in a very close tone. Wang Gui knew that Yao Fang's sister was Yao Ji! Moreover, when he was in Yunnan, Wang Gui had dealt with Yao Fang and was considered an acquaintance.
Yao Fang shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's okay."
The two walked side by side towards the gate of the old mansion. Wang Gui sighed and said, "We have heard about General Yao. Why are you suffering? Now the emperor says something, that is golden words, and the law! If not, you can't say something in front of the emperor? Why is General Yao not good to take revenge? He has to run to the prison to kill people."
Yao Fang didn't say anything.
Wang Gui looked down at Yao Fang's walking posture and whispered: "But General Yao's affairs are not big. The official position of the Jinyiwei is nothing! Look, you were beaten fifty sticks. If you were beaten to death, can you walk now? The emperor has mercy in his heart!"
Yao Fang said, "Mo Jiang understands it in his heart." He paused and said, "Mo Jiang did not intend to make the emperor angry. A while ago, I really couldn't overcome that hurdle in my heart and was confused for a while."
Wang Gui frowned and said, "You have known about General Yao's parents before, and you have never seen you do anything wrong!"
"It's not just that thing..." Yao Fang sighed.
