Fang Zhou flicked two small fragments off the tiles and aimed them at two young palace maids. With two swift swooshes, he knocked them unconscious.
Then, he pulled out a gourd, sucked the two unconscious maids inside, and entered the gourd himself.
He separated the two unconscious maids, donned a comical mask, transforming his expression into that of a fierce devil, then awakened one of them to interrogate her about the poisoning.
When the young maid regained consciousness, she found herself in a mysterious place with a fearsome individual, thinking she had arrived in Hell. Terrified beyond belief, she trembled and answered everything without hesitation or concealment.
Fang Zhou initially wanted to try out Ya Zi's interrogation technique, but was disappointed to find the maid so cooperative.
Middle officials are the position of inner eunuchs, and only palace maids deeply trusted by the emperor could hold such a role.
