The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 228 Silencing

After the fire was put out, it was already the afternoon. Su Dieyi was busy during this period. Now that the fire was out, we need to know how the fire was caused.

At this time, the fire in the imperial kitchen was so big that everyone looked at each other and knelt on the spot, too scared to speak.

Su Dieyi was also very anxious at the moment. Almost everyone in the imperial kitchen was her people, but... she was very strict in managing the imperial kitchen, and she was afraid of mistakes. So in the past two years, nothing had ever happened. Unexpectedly, this time there was such a big fire. After the fire was put out, he found out that four people had not come out, and this time someone was killed.

"What's going on with you? The imperial kitchen has been peaceful and stable for the past two years. What happened today? How did the fire start?" Su Dieyi angrily scolded everyone in the imperial kitchen.

But everyone in the imperial kitchen just knelt on the ground, and no one dared to say a word.

"Are you all speechless? I'm asking you a question. What happened today?"

At this time, one of the servants finally spoke up, "Madam Concubine, we don't know what happened. We only know that a fire broke out. We all escaped, but we didn't expect that the four people including the steward didn't escape. What happened exactly? We don't know either..."

"Yes, Madam Concubine... Everyone was busy at first, but unexpectedly there was a fire... It was really terrible. I have never seen such a big fire..."

"It's a ghost... there is a ghost... When the fire started, it seemed like someone suddenly came in to find the butler. That person seemed to ask us all to leave, except for the four of them. Then... suddenly there was a fire, and I don't know why."

"Then let me ask you who that person is?" Su Dieyi already knew the general inside story, and now she wanted to know who the person who came to see the butler was?

But everyone shook their heads. They just remembered that someone had looked for the butler, but no one knew who that person was.

Shen Yan also felt very strange. What on earth was going on? At this time, someone from the government came to report. After all, someone died in the imperial kitchen, so this had to be reported to the authorities.

After passing the inspection of Jingzhao Prefecture, Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Ouyang Xiu came to report.

"Reporting to the prince, after my investigation, it seems that someone has spilled an unknown liquid in the kitchen, but what exactly is this liquid? I haven't found out, I only know that it was this thing that caused the fire. Now I have to ask them who spilled this unknown liquid underground... causing this fire..."

Prince Shen Yan was also very distressed. Who would have a grudge against the Imperial Kitchen? Why did they burn the Imperial Kitchen? He suddenly thought of the unknown liquid that Ouyang Xiu had just mentioned, so he looked at Sang Ning who was standing beside him.

Sang Ning acted as if nothing had happened, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Su Dieyi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. The four dead people were all his men. And they were all his confidants. Why did such a thing happen now? Everyone knew that someone had entered the imperial kitchen, but no one knew who this person was. It seemed that everyone was unfamiliar with this incident. What was going on?

At this time, Ouyang Xiu said, "After all, Your Majesty, someone has died. Since the police have been notified, I need to find out who the murderer is. I need to take all the people in the imperial kitchen away."

Shen Yan didn't know who the murderer was for a moment, so he nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Ouyang." Ouyang Xiu waved his hand and took away all 12 people from the imperial kitchen.

Shen Yan was very upset at this time. He didn't expect that the concubine would manage the backyard in such a way that someone even died.

But Shen Yan had his doubts about the fire, and the first person he suspected was Sang Ning. First of all, there was an unknown liquid on the ground, and more importantly, everyone seemed to have lost their memory of the people who had come to the imperial kitchen before.

In this mansion, there was no one else who could do such a thing, but why did she attack those people in the imperial kitchen? What happened during this period? Unfortunately, all the people in the imperial kitchen were taken away by the government, and he had no way to interrogate them.

Sang Ning brought the maid back to Qiushui Garden. The maids Su Ye and Zi Su knew everything that happened today. They didn't know why the people in the imperial kitchen had forgotten everything about meeting the princess today.

They were both surprised. Looking at the princess in front of them, they felt that they did not recognize her at all. She was like a completely different person.

After the dozen people were taken to the government by Lord Ouyang, they were interrogated but nothing came out. This incident had nothing to do with them, but everyone only remembered that someone had come to the imperial kitchen, but no one could remember who this person was.

Lord Ouyang has also interrogated many criminals. It seems that these people have offended a master. This person seems to be very extraordinary and can actually erase the memory of others.

He had some friendship with Murong Ye in the martial arts world. This incident happened in the palace, so he found Murong Ye privately and told him about it.

Murong Ye was also very curious. There was indeed such a martial art in the martial arts world. It could erase the memory of others, but it was the first time he had seen one that could erase the memory of more than a dozen people at once. It seemed that this person must be a martial arts master. But who was this person? Murong Ye had to meet these dozen people. After meeting them, he would see if he had any other way to restore their memories.

After Ouyang Xiu brought Murong Ye to the government office, his subordinates came to report in a panic.

"Your Excellency, something terrible has happened. Those dozen people are all..."

When Lord Ouyang heard that something had happened, his head immediately buzzed, "What on earth happened? What happened to those dozen people?"

"Your Excellency, all those dozen people were killed..."

"What?" Ouyang Xiu brought Murong Ye to the government dungeon and saw that more than a dozen people had all been silenced, and all of them had died of poisoning. They had even been tortured before their death.

"What on earth is going on?" Ouyang Xiu knelt on the ground and burst into tears. These dozens of lives had actually happened in his own dungeon. It seemed that his career as an official had come to an end.

Murong Ye looked at the dozen people who died at this time and thought... Who did these people offend? They seemed to be servants of the palace, just cooks, and the person who shot them was vicious.

This matter quickly spread to the palace. Sang Ning was also very surprised when he heard the news that more than a dozen people had died. Although he was the one who set the fire, he also asked the four people to run away, but the four people did not go out, so she set the fire.

He used magic to erase the memories of those dozen people. He believed that even if he went to the government, he would not be able to find out anything. But he did not expect that in just two days, those dozen people were silenced. What on earth was going on? Since he returned to the palace, the deaths of the two women before and the deaths of the dozen people today. These were not his actions, but in the end, all these people were silenced. Who did this?
