A scream rang out in the prison.

Zhao Huan sat there coldly, and he was quite familiar with these people.

After all, the emperor often went to the imperial room to cook by himself, and he also had a lot of communication with these imperial chefs.

In the past, everyone thought the emperor was a very kind person, and he was focused on cooking and had all kinds of cute little hobbies.

But today, everyone's hearts were trembling.

They had never seen the emperor like this.

Zhao Huan's heart was very cold and there was no slight pity.

The diet in the palace has been investigated strictly since he was poisoned for the first time he ascended the throne.

The emperor's diet standards were very strict, but this time there were still some mistakes.

This made him extremely angry.

It took a full hour to end the punishment.

He Liming said: "Your Majesty, there is no clue."

Zhao Huan gently put the tea down and said lightly: "Everyone is sentenced to death, and everyone's ancestors will be strictly investigated for eight generations, and the last three generations of the family will be monitored."

He Liming shrank and said, "Yes! I will make arrangements now."

Zhao Huan left the prison in disappointment. Seeing He Liming who was about to leave, he then added: "Each person's family will add 10,000 yuan, and Shao Chengzhang will arrange money for you."

He Liming was slightly stunned, although he said, "Yes!"

He Liming was still shocked inside.

He also knew that most of the people in the imperial kitchen were wronged.

But there is no way. This time the entire imperial kitchen neglected his duties, which almost killed the emperor's favorite son.

The emperor still has feelings for them, and the punishment is clearly divided.

If you die unjustly, you will die too.

It would rather kill ten thousand by mistake.

When he returned to Yanfu Palace, Zhao Chun was sleeping.

Han Chenchen sat next to him to protect him.

Zhao Huan sat in Chazishan and stared at the map for a while.

Not long after, the queen came.

"I'm going to greet the officials."

"Well, I."

"I heard that Brother Chun is sick, so I'm here to visit him."

Zhao Huan nodded, and Han Chenchen stood up and saluted: "Saint Empress."

"Are you better?"

"The condition is stable."

"That's good." Looking at Zhao Chun's little face, Zhu Lian's eyes also showed pity.

Zhao Chun is a very smart child and she loves it very much.

It can be said that no one in this palace doesn’t like Zhao Chun.

Including those in the Royal Kitchen.

The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier.

He Liming ran on a horse.

Zhou Xiumei is from Tokyo City, and the Zhou family is a small businessman in the city. Her family is not poor or wealthy.

Soon, the Imperial City Guard arrived at the Zhou family.

The door was closed, He Liming kicked the door open with one foot, and everyone entered in one after another.

This week, the house is ordinary and the house is pitch black.

The Imperial City Guard immediately lit a torch.

I saw three dead people lying in the house, an old couple and a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old.

He Liming said: "Shao Zhongguan, do you see?"

Shao Chengzhang called the little eunuch behind. When Zhou Xiumei entered the palace half a year ago, it was the little eunuch who came to check Zhou Xiumei's family.

"That's right, it's them. They are indeed Zhou Xiumei's parents and younger brother."

"Did you recognize it?"

"It's true!"

The coroner who followed began to examine the body.

He Liming guessed that Zhou Xiumei's family would be killed, so he brought the coroner with him with precautions. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

That coroner was skillful in action.

After a stick of incense, the coroner said, "These two were poisoned to death. Like Zhou Xiumei, the poison was hidden under the tongue, and their internal organs were invaded by poison."

"But, this boy was not poisoned to death."

“How to say it?”

"You see, his gastrointestinal blood is normal, without any toxins, and all the poisons are squeezed into his throat, which means that he was forced to feed him after he was killed."

"He Shangguan, look at the floor, there are some invisible marks on it, which are the marks of shoes rubbing. At that time, the boy should have been suffocated to death. Their feet kept struggling, leaving some marks on the floor."

He Liming frowned. It seemed that this clue was found correctly.

The problem is indeed not simple.

He Liming said: "In theory, Zhou Xiumei has never left the palace since she entered the palace half a year ago, so it is impossible for her to have contact with her family."

"But Zhou Xiumei just died, and his parents also died of poisoning."

"It means that Zhou Xiumei had planned to enter the palace, and his parents were also prepared to die at any time."

Shao Chengzhang glared at the little eunuch, who quickly explained: "Zhongguan, I have checked it. The ancestors of the Zhou family have lived in Kaifeng since the founding of this dynasty and are good people."

At this time, a guard of the Imperial City had already found the family genealogy of the Zhou family.

Indeed, the Zhou family has been living in Kaifeng Prefecture. Since the Five Dynasties, they have been living in Kaifeng Prefecture's small restaurants.

What exactly made this ordinary couple willing to send their daughter to the palace to assassinate the emperor and the prince?

He Liming closed his eyes and thought for a while.

There are standards for the other party to select people.

The only criterion for this screening is to find someone whose daughter can enter the palace and who is qualified to enter the imperial kitchen.

In other words, it was confirmed that Zhou Xiumei was able to enter the palace, and the people behind the scenes chose her.

He Liming's eyes suddenly nailed to the little eunuch, who was so scared that he was scattered.

He hurriedly said: "The villain is only responsible for checking whether Zhou Xiumei's family is selected. It is not something that the villain can choose!"

Indeed, the selection process for palace maids is very strict.

What's more, the selection of imperial kitchens is stricter.

It must be personally selected by the chef of the Imperial Kitchen, but nothing was found during the previous interrogation.

In fact, the chef must have been wronged. The chef Zhang Shu has been in the palace for eight years, so he has no reason to harm the emperor.

This further shows that Zhou Xiumei was found when she was selected to go home on the same day.

The only way to force an ordinary woman to submit is to threaten her with her relatives.

If Zhou Xiumei doesn't do it, her whole family will die.

Now Zhou Xiumei has failed.

Those people came to the door again, and her parents committed suicide by taking poison, probably to protect their children.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not let their child go. The child was unwilling to commit suicide, so the other party killed the child.

Then feed poison, causing the illusion of suicide.

Just as he thought of this, the little eunuch suddenly said, "No, when I came to check Zhou Xiumei's family, she had a sister two years younger than her!"

He Liming's eyelids jumped: "Sister!"

Someone ran over from behind immediately: "Boss, the back is open!"

He Limingfei rushed to the back, and the back door was indeed open.

He saw footprints in the snow that were almost covered with snow.

"Women's footprints."

One of the footprints was obviously smaller.

He Liming quickly rushed out with his footprints and said in a deep voice: "Go!"

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there are few people on the street.

The footprints were quickly covered by the university.

He Liming and lost.
