Chapter 270: Inform
There is no doubt about the intelligence from the Mingjing Bureau.
Some of these old people from the Eastern Palace were promoted, some got rich, and after the Eastern Palace was disbanded, their lives seemed to be on a roll, and they made a comeback all the way, all because of the efforts of Jingzhao Yin and the King of Han.
Although Jingzhao Yin used to be the Junior Secretary of the Eastern Palace and might have taken care of his former subordinates, it is hard to explain why they died unexpectedly one after another after his care.
Investigating the current situation of other Eastern Palace officials is an extremely time-consuming task even for the Mingjing Division, so Li Nuo needs to wait patiently.
Li Anning stood beside Li Nuo, looking at the file.
Li Nuo thought for a moment and asked, "How about you stop interfering in this case?"
Both the victim and the perpetrator are her relatives.
This case was indeed a bit cruel to her.
Li Anning shook his head and said, "Since we have already started the investigation, we must get to the bottom of it."
Li Nuo didn't say anything else. These days, she had to investigate cases day and night and hadn't had much rest. Li Nuo asked her to lie on the bed and used a doctor's special massage technique to help her relieve her fatigue.
He stayed with her in the room until the evening. When it was almost time to rest, Li Nuo was about to go to Jia Ren's place. An Ning hugged his arm and said, "I want to hold you while I sleep at night..."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Nuo really wanted to agree to her.
But last night, she was the one who slept with him in her arms.
I should go to the beauty's room today. If I satisfy An Ning, I will definitely ignore the beauty.
In this matter, Li Nuo has always been fair.
After experiencing these things personally, he also understood why the emperor's harem was always vying for favor.
Marrying two wives is not easy...
Li Nuo gently tapped her forehead and said, "No, if you do that, the beauty will overthink it..."
After improving her skills, the lady's personality is no longer so cold, but she hasn't become like Yiren either. She is still reserved and introverted.
If you ignore her, she may not show it on her face like An Ning did, but she will care more in her heart.
An Ning hugged his arm and said, "Then I'll go over and sleep with you guys..."
Li Nuo glanced at her. Did she think she didn't want to?
Which man doesn't want to enjoy the best of both worlds? But getting his wife's consent is not an easy thing.
Before she improved her skills, the three of them slept in the same bed together. But after practicing the new skills, she became even more shameless, and even turned off the lights before having sex.
An Ning was completely different from her in the bedroom.
Seeing that Li Nuo did not explicitly refuse, An Ning immediately said, "I'll go talk to Sister Jiaren!"
Li Nuo shrugged. If she could convince his wife, why would he refuse?
Inside Song Jiaren's room.
She was sitting at the table embroidering when An Ning pushed the door open and walked in. She sat beside her, gently took her hand, and said, "Sister Jiaren, your craftsmanship has improved so quickly..."
Song Jiaren smiled slightly and said, "Phoenix taught me all this."
When it comes to women's matters, Fenghuang is the teacher of both of them. However, An Ning has to go to the Ministry of Justice and does not have much time to practice, so her embroidery skills are naturally not as good as hers.
An Ning looked at her for a while and said tentatively: "Tonight, how about the three of us..."
Song Jiaren didn't think much about it, put down the half-embroidered handkerchief, and said, "Okay."
An Ning hugged her, kissed her heavily on the face, and said happily: "I know Sister Jiaren is the best. I will come over after I take a shower..."
Song Jiaren was slightly stunned and asked, "Bathing...what for?"
Li Anning said: "Of course he is sleeping. Is he going out to investigate a case?"
Song Jiaren asked, "Aren't you going out to investigate the case?"
Li Anning waved his hand and said, "There aren't so many cases to investigate..."
Song Jiaren said: "I..."
Li Anning immediately said, "You just promised someone, you can't go back on your word!"
…
early morning.
Li Nuo and An Ning walked out of the house together, one went to the Ministry of Justice and the other went to the Honglu Temple.
I don’t know what An Ning said to my wife, but she actually agreed to let three people sleep together. Although it was just a simple sleep, it was also a big progress.
Only by taking the first step can you take the second and third step.
After arriving at the Honglu Temple, there was no official business to deal with, so Li Nuo continued to practice martial arts.
Take a break when you feel tired, and continue practicing when you’ve rested enough. A day will pass quickly.
Tonight, it should have been An Ning's turn to accompany her, but she wanted to sleep with Li Nuo. With yesterday's preparation, when they slept together tonight, Li Nuo's reaction was more natural than yesterday.
For several days, An Ning kept pestering them, and in the end, the beauty had obviously gotten used to it.
That morning, Li Nuo woke up again from the scent of soft jade on both sides. Today was a day off and he didn't have to go to the government office. It was a good opportunity for him to stay at home with them and teach his wife and his beloved some sword skills.
These days, they are making rapid progress.
Yiren no longer mentioned returning to the Sanqing Sect. She practiced cultivation every day, so diligently that she seemed like a different person.
When Li Nuo was sitting in the courtyard watching Yi Ren practice swordplay, Butler Wu came over from outside and handed Li Nuo a thick file, saying, "Master, the things you asked Mingjingsi to investigate have been thoroughly investigated..."
Li Nuo took the file and went to the room with An Ning.
A few days ago, he asked Butler Wu to ask the Mingjingsi to investigate the whereabouts and current situation of the officials of the Eastern Palace. Because too many people were involved, the results were not available until now.
There are a lot of officials in the Eastern Palace, plus the Prince's inner palace. There are more than a hundred people who have direct contact with the Prince on a daily basis. It is really not easy to investigate them all.
Indeed, many of these Eastern Palace officials died for various reasons after leaving the Eastern Palace.
A considerable number of them were dealt with by the court because they were involved in the theft cases of that year.
The number of people who were not affected by the theft and died in recent years is not large.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, most of these officials lost their channels for promotion. They have been standing still over the years, with their official positions only declining and not rising, but they are still in the court.
In comparison, they are not very suspicious.
Those who leave the Eastern Palace and are promoted rapidly or accumulate wealth very quickly are more suspicious.
There are not many such people. Excluding those who have died, the remaining ones can be counted on one hand.
These people are all worthy of special attention.
Li Nuo's eyes swept across the list of female officials in the prince's inner palace, and his gaze passed by inadvertently and quickly retracted.
Sun Jin is the head of the prince's inner palace. She is an eighth-rank female official in charge of the inner palace's jewelry, clothes, towels, combs, ointments, and toys. She is a female official who will often come into contact with the prince and his concubines.
Li Nuo was not familiar with this name.
But she was not unfamiliar to anyone.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, she started a brothel business in Chang'an. Over the past ten years, her business grew bigger and bigger, and eventually it became one of the most popular places for entertainment in Chang'an. Many dignitaries in Chang'an were her guests.
This brothel is called Lelai Tower.
And Sun Jin was also executed by the King of Han because of the last conflict with Yuyin Pavilion.
People all thought that the King of Han was giving face to his father, but now it seems that he did it on purpose.
This is their usual tactic.
Acquiring Yuyin Pavilion was probably not their real purpose. He was just looking for an excuse to send this former palace lady off.
If Li Nuo had not handled so many of these cases personally and discovered some suspicious points, he would never have thought that the deaths of these people were related to the Eastern Palace.
This means that the King of Han must have been involved in what happened back then.
The only thing that is unclear is what means he used to successfully murder the prince.
Most of the people who knew about the incident at that time have died and cannot testify.
Given the identities of the King of Han, the King of You and the Jingzhao Yin, there was no way to capture them for interrogation. The final breakthrough was still with those suspicious old people in the Eastern Palace.
If they died too, there would probably be no possibility of overturning the verdict.
So far, this case has been beyond the control of him and An Ning.
There are only a few people who can control the entire court.
After Li Nuo and An Ning discussed it, they quickly made a decision.
It's late at night.
Li Mansion.
Li Nuo knocked on a door and a voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Li Nuo pushed the door open and walked in. Behind the desk, Li Xuanjing put down the book in his hand, stood up and said, "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Li Nuo closed the door, walked forward slowly, and said seriously: "Dad, please sit down first. I have something important to tell you..."
