Chapter 214 The palace maid with problems

According to Zhang Chen's perception, there were several deep or shallow breaths around him. This may be the reason why the Buddha's seal hinted at him.

"Let's go. You sent someone to deliver a letter before, telling us to pay attention to the recent strange things in the palace. After yesterday, we really discovered something unusual."

Foyin said directly, and the expression on his face returned to a relaxed look.

"I really have to thank Chen Muchan for being hunted by so many people and still being able to dig out so many clues from them.

Maybe it was because the situation was too urgent at the time, so I only left a few words on the note. If Zhang Chen hadn't asked for the general situation, I really wouldn't have been able to guess what he was going to say."

Zhang Chen smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself, and then he took Zhu Yipin and quickly followed Foyin's footsteps.

After a while, Zhu Yipin looked up at the plaque and said word by word: "Imperial dining room, are you going to let us have lunch? Then I have to taste what the legendary imperial banquet is like."

Foyin smiled and said nothing. Zhang Chen patted Zhu Yipin's shoulder, pointed at the visitor not far away and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to eat. Look who's coming!"

Zhu Yipin followed Zhang Chen's direction and ran up behind Zhang Chen. Yes, it was none other than Liu Ruoxin and Yang Yuxuan.

The two of them walked closer and Zhang Chen smiled and said hello.

Before Zhang Chen could say anything, Liu Ruoxin took the initiative to explain: "My foster father asked me to help. As for this white-haired monster, he was sent by Dongchang."

Zhang Chen said directly: "I'm afraid this is not the real reason!"

He didn't believe such a simple reason.

Liu Ruoxin laughed, and then continued: "Don't forget our identities. When it comes to royal matters, why don't we use you people from outside the court?"

Zhang Chen was startled when he heard this, but he ignored it. This matter involved matters in the palace, and he was allowed to be here with the emperor's special approval.

Otherwise, I am afraid that people from the East and West factories will really have to take action in this matter. Cao Zhengchun and Wang Zhi are strictly servants of the royal family, and the East and West factories are more suitable to handle the royal affairs.

Yang Yuxuan said nothing, but said lightly: "Eunuch Cao sent me here!"

Several people did not continue chatting because a chamberlain hurried over and said to everyone: "His Majesty ordered people from the East and West factories to assist Consultant Zhang in finding out the truth."

After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly to several people and left in a hurry.

Zhang Chen looked at the little eunuch walking away and had to think to himself: "The palace is really leaking. In less than half an hour, the news has already spread to the two factories.

It seems that the emperor would not have taken a step back to let them participate, otherwise, he would not have given himself such a directive."

"Let's go and see the scene!"

Zhang Chen said directly.

Foyin led the way. They had already controlled the person in charge of the ingredients in the imperial kitchen, and were guarding him in order to prevent anyone from killing someone and silencing him.

In a room in the palace.

Zhang Chen and others stared at the eunuch in front of them. He was the general manager of the ingredients in the imperial kitchen.

"Sir, what are you doing here?"

The fat eunuch asked fearfully.

"Don't be afraid, we just want to find out some information from you. You should know that some strange things have happened recently, and the source of these things is the Imperial Kitchen Room."

Zhang Chen asked directly.

The other people kept staring at him, and the fat eunuch's back was chilled by their gazes.

"You really don't know what's going on?"

The fat eunuch said aggrievedly.

Ling Lingfa reminded: "A lot of the chickens you have raised have died recently. Isn't this a strange thing?"

When the fat eunuch heard this, he cried out that he was wronged. Chickens had indeed disappeared and died one after another recently, but he thought it was just normal wear and tear.

After all, this is an unspoken rule in the palace. With so many noble people to serve in the house, no one knows whether these chickens are being served as extra meals. All they can do is turn a blind eye so that they can

Live longer in the palace.

The fat eunuch finished speaking tremblingly, and looked at Zhang Chen with a worried look. The most important thing in the palace was someone who could observe people's words and emotions. In just a short period of time, he had already confirmed that Zhang Chen was the one who could make the decision.

Zhang Chen touched his chin and said, "Is what the manager said true?"

The real purpose of what he just asked the fat eunuch was to lure everyone to divert the direction of the investigation, but he ignored what the fat eunuch just said.

This possibility does exist. It is absolutely impossible for a fat eunuch to lie under the threat of his own life.

Ling Lingfa and Foyin nodded. There are such hidden rules on the surface. Even they sometimes secretly perform dental rituals, not to mention so many noble people in the palace.

Zhang Chen was thinking about how to guide them so that they could find the correct clues.

Ling Lingfa said directly: "What happened to those chickens? We should still ask the people who are in charge of these chickens."

Zhang Chen said doubtfully after hearing this: "You have already found the manager, why don't you just gather the people below together?"

Ling Lingfa pointed to the sky and said ambiguously: "This is the palace, not your back garden. If you bump into the nobles, even Your Majesty will be in trouble."

A few people blinked and understood the difficulty they were in. The chicken farmer must have been greeted by some nobleman, otherwise, given their status, they would not be afraid of ordinary concubines.

"Without His Majesty's oral instructions before, we couldn't take action, but we have found out that the palace maid who raised chickens at that time was named Liuzhu, but she has been demoted to clean the imperial garden."

Foyin took Ling Lingfa's words and told several people about the whereabouts of the palace maid.

"What a coincidence!"

Zhang Chen said thoughtfully.

Everyone present nodded in agreement, it was indeed a coincidence that everything happened.

"I wonder which noble person it is?"

Ling Lingfa sighed and said: "I've heard about this a long time ago. I heard that she accidentally bumped into the Queen Mother, so she was demoted to the Imperial Garden and asked her to clean the fallen leaves.

When we went to ask for someone, we found that the chamberlain beside the Queen Mother had ordered the palace maid to clean up the fallen leaves in the royal garden, and when the cleaning was done, she could go back to rest."

Several people opened their mouths and didn't know what to say. Did they make them doubt the Queen Mother?

Ling Lingfa spread his hands, and then they realized the difficulty of the matter.

"Without His Majesty's oral instructions, I'm afraid we really wouldn't be able to get this palace maid!"

Zhang Chen shook his head, this is the inconvenience of being in the imperial city. Anyone who appears randomly may be someone you can't afford to offend.

The group of people turned around and rushed to the Imperial Garden immediately. Judging from the current situation, this palace maid was the most likely clue.

"The assassin must have someone to support him in the palace, otherwise he wouldn't have sneaked in so quietly. The Imperial Master and Fa Ge have already checked the palace, but they didn't find any clues. Isn't this a strange thing?

The most important thing is that this Liuzhu is really suspicious. I just asked the fat eunuch, she is also an old man in the imperial kitchen, how could she collide with the Queen Mother in the imperial garden? "

Zhang Chen analyzed it on the way.

Thanks for the support!
