Chapter 510 Why are you going to die?
Su Ying threw the "female ghost" to the ground and went to check on the imperial guards. She found that they were just unconscious and were not seriously injured.
She took out a bottle of medicine from her body, opened it and put it under the nose of the imperial guard.
The stimulation of the drug woke up the unconscious imperial guards.
When the imperial guards opened their eyes and saw Su Ying dressed in black, they were all shocked.
"Who are you? How dare you act like a ghost here in the middle of the night?"
Su Ying slowly stood up and took out the Phoenix Card from her body and waved it in front of them, "It's me."
The imperial guards were even more surprised when they saw that it was a phoenix badge. They all knelt down in front of Su Ying and said, "It's the Queen. We pay our respects to the Queen."
"Get up, the female ghost has been caught by me."
The imperial guards were even more frightened when they looked at the "female ghost" lying on the ground.
"This, this is fake?"
Su Ying sneered, "Of course it's fake. No ghost in this world is so bored as to tease you. Take him away for interrogation. I want to know who ordered him to do this before dawn."
After confirming that the ghost girl had a fake ID, the imperial guards stood up, picked her up, and took her to the room at the back door for interrogation.
Su Ying climbed over the courtyard wall, but there was nothing outside the wall, and she didn't know where Xiao Jin had gone.
Su Ying looked around and found a sporadic fire in the corner of the wall. She walked over, picked it up, smelled it, and quickly threw it to the ground and stepped on it to put it out.
"It's ridiculous that such a small trick can fool the imperial guards."
Su Ying was just about to look around again when she saw Xiao Jin coming back carrying someone.
"Is he the one who is doing this outside?" Su Ying asked coldly.
Xiao Jin nodded.
The man had been knocked unconscious and was held in Xiao Jin's hand like a quail.
Xiao Jin took the man to the back room and had the imperial guards interrogate him.
"It's really boring. I thought it was some advanced trick."
Two people could cause things to become like this. Su Ying felt that their defense team was still a little weak.
However, it is understandable that people of this era believe in ghosts and gods very much. After learning about the existence of ghosts, they instinctively feel fear in their hearts, and this cannot be entirely blamed on them.
But Su Ying thought that as a man carrying a knife, if he didn't have enough courage, there was really no point in mixing with the world.
"Do you want to take a break? Or go back first and wait for them to report back tomorrow?" Xiao Jin asked after looking at the sky.
Su Ying shook her head and said, "Just wait for the result. If they can't do it, I'll do it myself." Now that it's out, it would be pointless to keep people waiting.
Xiao Jin pulled Su Ying to the renovated pavilion and sat down. The hardware of this academy was really well built, with pavilions and towers everywhere.
"Why did you abandon this academy at that time?"
Su Ying took out a bag of snacks from her pocket, looked at Xiao Jin, thought for a while, and gave him a piece of the snack that she had warmed up.
Xiao Jin took the snack that still had her body temperature, his eyes fell on her, and he took a bite. It was fragrant and soft, and he felt like he was biting her.
"The official statement is that there were too many people who wanted to study at the academy at the time, and the place was not spacious enough, so they moved to a wider and larger place." When this academy was abandoned, Xiao Jin was not yet born, and even the late emperor had not yet ascended the throne. It happened so long ago that not many people knew about it.
"But it seems that this matter was handled by Lord Jingguo back then. It's a pity that such a place is left vacant. It's just right for you to use it now."
It's really a pity that in the capital city where every inch of land is valuable, leaving such a large place empty is a waste of money.
The imperial guards did not keep the two men waiting for too long, and soon they confessed.
"Your Majesty, the two men said they were the hooligans from the east alley of West Street, and they came here to do the work in exchange for money. The other party gave them 100 taels of silver and told them to play tricks here and try to hinder the progress of the repairs. After the task is completed, they will be given another 300 taels of silver."
"Two bastards? Do they know who the other is?"
The imperial guard shook his head. "They said they didn't know him. They just met him on the street. Because he was generous and they were short of money, they took the job."
"Let them describe each other's appearance, and find an artist to draw the portrait tomorrow."
"yes."
It was getting late, and if Xiao Jin went back by now, he would almost have to attend the morning court.
Su Ying didn't want to delay his morning court, so she asked the imperial guards to escort the man to the Ministry of Justice prison first, and then ask the painter to go there tomorrow.
When the two returned to the palace, the sky was already turning pale.
Su Ying looked at Xiao Jin with some sympathy, "Your Majesty, will you come back in the morning to catch up on your sleep?"
Xiao Jin looked at her with a hint of resentment in his eyes, and said with an unclear expression: "Sleep well again tonight."
Su Ying pulled the quilt over her and tried to catch up on her sleep.
When she woke up again, it was already noon. Su Ying rolled around in bed with the quilt in her arms. After she felt her whole body relaxed, she slowly sat up and let Bai Shuang and the others in.
"Your Majesty has woken up. I was thinking that it was time for you to wake up. You must be hungry at this hour."
The corner of Su Ying's eyes twitched. In their minds, the image of her revolves around eating?
"Have the eldest prince and his men returned?"
"Your Highness, the eldest prince and his companions returned two quarters of an hour ago, but they knew that you were still resting and did not come in to disturb you. Mother Zhao let them have lunch first, and now they have gone downstairs to rest."
Su Ying nodded. It was really hard to be a child in the royal family.
After getting up, washing and having lunch, Xiao Jin asked Zhang Shuming to come and explain the progress of the matter to Su Ying.
"Madam, the people from the Ministry of Justice conducted another interrogation last night. They said that there was a man who was quite cautious. He secretly followed the other party before doing anything and found that the other party went into a teahouse to meet someone. After the two people left, he followed the person he met with and found that the other person was actually from the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Revenue."
Su Ying frowned, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? Concubine De's family?"
"Yes, the Ministry of Justice has already gone to the Shangshu Mansion to search for him, and he hasn't come back yet."
Su Ying didn't understand. What benefit would it bring to Concubine De by destroying her plan to run a girls' school?
Su Ying didn’t understand, and Concubine De didn’t know either. If the people from the Shangshu Mansion hadn’t found a way to send her a letter, she wouldn’t have known about this.
"Who is so stupid as to provoke the evil god Su Ying? Don't they want to live anymore?" Concubine Dowager De started cursing in the palace. If there were huge benefits in this matter, it would be fine if they were stubborn enough to do it, but they can't even see a penny's benefit, so why would they dare to die!
"Go, go to the Queen's palace and find out what the Queen's attitude is." After the incident of blocking the dam with her own hands, Su Ying's reputation in the State of Chu could not be more stable. If this incident was really done by someone from the Shangshu Mansion, she would never have a peaceful life!
Before anyone in Concubine Dowager De's palace left the house, a maid came in to report, "Your Highness, the Queen has summoned you."
