Chapter 178 Doubt
"This time Mammy looks like I did something wrong."
Gu Qingcheng smiled, but there was a coldness in his eyes: "But I also really want to know, where does the nanny get the confidence to talk to me like that!"
The nanny of the Punishment Division froze, and saluted with some reluctance, she said very politely, but there was no trace of respect between her eyebrows and eyes.
"I also ask the imperial concubine to forgive me. It was only yesterday that the empress dowager emphasized that the harem should be cleaned up. Today, three murders have occurred in another year. It is really appalling."
Speaking of which, the nun bowed down and bowed down, "Your pity, although you behaved badly before and offended the imperial concubine, we all know this."
I don't know if it was Gu Qingcheng's illusion, but she just felt that the surrounding atmosphere changed, as if everyone's eyes were focused on her.
The nun lowered her head and smiled, "But now that nobleman Lian died suddenly, and the place is so close to your palace, we still have to give nobleman Lian an explanation after all."
Nangong Mo watched this scene silently, not gloating, but just wanted to see how Gu Qingcheng would deal with it.
"Mother, what you said is very funny." Gu Qingcheng leaned forward slightly, raised his brows, "When did I say that I would not give you justice?"
Looking at that nanny, it seemed that she didn't expect that she would react so directly, and she was stunned in place for a moment.
"And Mammy, instead of arguing with me about such trivial matters, why don't you think about how to give the nobleman justice!"
Speaking of which, Gu Qingcheng paced to the stretcher covered with white cloth with a half-smile, and lifted it open, revealing the scorched black things inside.
"Young concubine! This is impossible!"
The nanny flew over and stood in front of Gu Qingcheng, "The current appearance is really unsightly, please quickly cover it up, so as not to offend ghosts and gods."
"Step aside."
Gu Qingcheng looked down at the nanny indifferently, "Even if it's a collision with a ghost, it's still a collision with my palace. You don't have to stand in front of me."
The nanny glanced at Nangong Mo hesitantly, and moved away slowly.
"You stubborn slave, you are embarrassing my noble concubine in front of me." Nangong Mo looked at the scene in front of him with great interest, followed behind Gu Qingcheng, and said softly: "My noble concubine can do whatever she wants, always You can't bear the grievances for no reason."
Is this guy a showman?
The noble man with a branch of white lotus in the green leaves has gone, now he is looking for a playmate again?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingcheng raised his face and smiled softly, his eyes gleaming with water, as if this situation was not a strict interrogation in the palace, but a place of poetic beauty and concubine love.
"With the emperor's words, no matter what others think of my concubines, my concubines will have nothing to fear."
Seeing her like this, Nangong Mo was still somewhat happy in his heart, but his heart came late, and Nangong Mo's face turned dark again.
The nanny of the Punishment Department was only relying on Nangong Mo to make a sound, but in this situation, she had no choice but to get out of the way reluctantly.
Hua Yao stood watching anxiously, wishing he could immediately pull his own girl behind her to protect her.
In the past, because the girl met the emperor, she always wanted to enter the palace, but now that she has entered the palace, what kind of life is she living? !
It's not as good as when I was in Taifu's mansion before!
Gu Qingcheng accompanied the dramatist emperor in his heart to finish a play, walked to the stretcher that was said to be the nobleman, and examined it carefully.
After being struck by lightning, the fabric on the body will catch fire, and if it is true as what the Punishment Secretary said, the neck and chin of the person who hanged himself will be very tightly connected due to his posture.
The scorched black mass in front of him, there were indeed traces of fabric burning on his body, Gu Qingcheng paused, rolled up his sleeves, and slightly raised the chin of the person on the stretcher.
If there is fabric between the neck and the chin, where the connection is tight, then after lifting it up, you will either see traces of the fabric after it was burned.
Or, what you see is fabric that hasn't burned out yet.
But now, the place where the neck and chin were tightly connected was lifted up, but it was clean, with no traces of burnt black, and no fabric residue, only a piece of red flesh.
"Those three people, no one has moved since they were taken down. Has it?"
After hearing this, Madam Punishment Secretary had a bad premonition in her heart for no reason, she hesitated for a moment, but summoned Nangong Mo's threat.
"What are you doing in a daze? Could it be that you can't speak? If that's the case, it's better to become completely dumb!"
In the palace, Nangong Mo's image of saying what he says and doing what he says is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and his face is dark at the moment, and he doesn't have half of the amicable expression when facing Gu Qingcheng.
After hearing this, Madam Punishment Secretary trembled uncontrollably, and quickly replied, "Yes... since it was taken down from the tree in Taolin, no one has touched it again."
Gu Qingcheng seemed to have heard some joke, his eyes were bent, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of scrutiny.
"Well, are these three people really taken from the tree?"
The nanny of the Punishment Department seemed to be offended, even if she knelt on the ground, she still straightened her spine: "What does the imperial concubine mean by saying this? Is it possible that the old slave will still deceive the imperial concubine?!"
"Since you know that you are a slave, then speak well, and if you are disrespectful to the noble concubine, you can go to the Punishment Department." Nangong Mo lowered his head slightly, took a sip of tea soup, and slowly rubbed the finger on his hand: "Anyway, you He is also in charge of the Punishment Department."
It felt good to have someone backing her back. Gu Qingcheng raised her chin slightly, bent down to look directly into the eyes of the Punishment Secretary.
"Mommy, I have no enmity with you in the past, and I have no grudges in recent days," Gu Qingcheng looked at the mammy of the Punishment Department coldly: "What do I have to ask? The nanny replied that there is no need to do it for someone who has nothing to do with it." , catch up with Mammy yourself, do you understand?"
In the entire palace, it is said that noble concubines and empresses are the most favored, but now, the thoughtful nuns have learned it personally.
"Yes..." After all, the Punishment Secretary's arrogance was not as arrogant as before, and she repeatedly said yes, remembering Gu Qingcheng's question just now, and quickly replied: "Those three people were indeed taken from the peach tree. A cleaning lady saw it, and the jet-black mass was hanging on the peach tree, it was really frightening."
