The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

It's okay if Duke Ruohong is just an ordinary aristocrat. If you have any questions, just go to his house and check it out.

But he is the prince of the country, the younger brother of the empress dowager.

Due to the empress dowager's affection, even the emperor can't let people check him casually.

Luo Qinghan: "Since you can't check it out, let's check it secretly."

Xiao Xixi was curious: "What do you want to do?"

That afternoon, Mei Guangtao, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, personally went to Hongguo Gongfu, saying that a fugitive slipped into the city. The fugitive had a lot of criminal records and was extremely vicious. For the safety of the Hongguo Gongfu, officials need to enter the government to search.

In order to prove that what he said was true, Mei Guangtao also took out a portrait of a fugitive.

"Grandpa, please see, it is this fugitive who has appeared in the vicinity. This person is murderous and extremely dangerous. It must be arrested and brought to justice as soon as possible. I hope Grandpa can accommodate one or two things."

Duke Hongguo drooped his eyelids, looked at the big man in the portrait expressionlessly, and said coldly.

"I've never met this man."

Mei Guangtao: "Fortunately, you haven't seen him. If you have seen him, then you will be in danger."

Although very reluctant, Duke Hongguo could not find an excuse to refuse, and could only put people in.

Mei Guangtao pretended to exhort the soldiers under his opponent.

"Be a little bit smaller, don't scare the family members in the Guogong's mansion, don't turn things around, if you break something, you won't be able to pay for it if you sell it."

The soldiers of the government had already been instructed by the governor before they came. They knew who they were looking for this time, and they cooperated and said that they would be cautious.

Mei Guangtao is divided into regions, and each government soldier is responsible for different regions.

After they dispersed, they began to search carefully in the Duke's Mansion.

As the governor of the government, Mei Guangtao naturally couldn't do such trivial matters as finding someone himself. He only needed to accompany Duke Hongguo while drinking tea and waiting.

The family members in the backyard had already been reminded by the housekeeper and hid in their rooms.

The entire palace was surprisingly quiet.

About an hour passed.

The soldiers of the government returned to their positions one after another and reported the search results to the governor.

The result, of course, was nothing.

Mei Guangtao bowed to Duke Hongguo with a low attitude.

"Xiaguan offended me this time. I have something to do today, so I can't make amends to you. When I'm free another day, Xiaguan must come to the door to apologize in person, and then I'll ask you to have a good drink."

Duke Hongguo let out a cold snort from his nose: "I can't afford the wine requested by Mr. Mei."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away with a cold face.

Mei Guangtao was not angry at all, straightened up and straightened his sleeves, and Shi Shiran led the soldiers out of the palace.

There are a lot of powerful people in Shengjing City. Being the governor in such a place, you often have to deal with powerful people, and it is common for them to be dumped.

Mei Guangtao is used to this.

Anyway, it was just a face that was shaken, and he would not lose a few more hairs.

Back at Jingzhao Mansion, Mei Guangtao asked the soldiers to describe their search process in the Guogong Mansion.

He extracted useful information from it, and after sorting it out, he went to the palace to face the saint, and told the results of the investigation one by one.

"After investigation and inquiry, there are several people with the surname Ye in the Hongguo Gongfu.

But there is only one person who can be called Mr. Ye, Mr. Xixi who was invited back by Duke Hongguo from outside.

This Mr. Ye is in his thirties. It is said that he is a connoisseur who is responsible for teaching the schoolwork of the juniors in the house.

Unfortunately, when we went to Hongguo Gongfu, Mr. Ye was not there.

The housekeeper said that Mr. Ye was going out to buy books.

We searched the entire Guogong's mansion, and indeed did not find that Mr. Ye, presumably he was really not in the mansion. "

Luo Qinghan said lightly: "What a coincidence."

I didn’t go out early or late, but I went out when the officers and soldiers came to the door.

It was so coincidental that it was as if it had been arranged in advance.

Seeing that the emperor had no other orders, Mei Guangtao said goodbye and left.

Luo Qinghan informed Xiao Xixi about this.

Xiao Xixi said: "Shang Kui also came here just now and said that he found two corpses carried out by the Hongguo Gongfu last night. Yu Linwei quietly followed to check and found that they were the corpses of two young women. Dress up like a concubine in the imperial mansion."

Although the concubines are equivalent to slaves and servants, their status is low, but they cannot be killed casually.

If this kind of thing fell into the ears of the officials, in a blink of an eye, they would be charged with a murderous and life-threatening crime.

If it was someone who cherished his reputation, he would definitely not let this happen.

But Hongguo Gong is different, he doesn't care about other people's opinions at all.

What if he was impeached?

Is it possible to cut off his title?

As long as the Empress Dowager is still there, as long as he doesn't commit such acts of slaughtering the nine clans, no one can do anything to him, and the status of his country's grandfather is as stable as a mountain.

Because of this, when Duke Hongguo was dealing with the bodies of the two concubines, he seemed very careless.

What he didn't expect was that the two corpses had just been buried, and they were dug up again in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Xixi had asked Yu Linwei to send the bodies of the two concubines, along with Yinshuang's body, to Yizhuang.

Xiao Xixi asked Yu Linwei to keep staring at that Mr. Ye.

"As long as you find that Mr. Ye, no matter what the three, seven or twenty-one, just tie him up."

"Here!"

Yu Linwei stared at the Hongguo Gongfu for two consecutive days, but failed to find anyone suspected of Mr. Ye.

At the same time, the annual Shangyuan Festival is here.

The so-called Shangyuan Festival is actually the Lantern Festival. On this day, it is natural to eat the Lantern Festival.

Baoqin asked people to prepare several flavors of Lantern Festival, including sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, black sesame stuffing, bean paste stuffing, and even fresh meat stuffing.

Sweet and savory, everything is available.

Xiao Xixi is open to anyone who comes and eats everything.

Luo Qinghan only ate a bowl of black sesame stuffing, and was not interested in anything else.

In the evening there is a family banquet in the palace.

Headed by the emperor and the empress dowager, they spent the festival with the concubines in the palace.

After the family banquet was over, it was still early. Xiao Xixi wanted to go out to the palace to play. I heard that there is a temple fair in the city tonight.

Luo Qinghan has always accommodated her in such trivial matters.

The two took a carriage and left the palace in the dark.

A lot of people came to the temple fair, and even though it was late, the streets were still crowded, and the pedestrians were rubbing shoulders.

Every household is hung with lanterns, and even if the night is dark, the street is as bright as day.

There are many stalls on the street, some selling toys, some selling food, and some selling clothes.
