"Look at my imperial garden, it's not worse than your southern gardens..."
Emperor Shun Yao was walking in the imperial garden with his hands behind his back. This is the inner harem of the emperor. It is almost impossible for foreign ministers to come here, but he brought Zhao Guanren in. Of course, there is also Jin Wuming, the commander of the imperial guards. And the old eunuch who is always by his side.
"The emperor's words are inappropriate. The whole Dashun belongs to you. How could it become our south..."
Zhao Guanren walked beside him neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes flicked around the kneeling maids, but Emperor Shun Yao waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't flatter me, since I brought you here, I just want to hear about you What a villain, tell the truth!"
"Thousands of wears, thousands of wears, only flattery does not wear, if you tell the truth, you will be beheaded..."
Zhao Guanren shook his head with a smile, just as a group of concubines Yingying Yanyan came over, suddenly saw the emperor hurriedly knelt down to say hello, but one of them happened to be Princess Yaoyue, she subconsciously looked up at Zhao Guanren, then quickly lowered her head again .
"Zhao Yunxuan! Do you know who this is..."
Emperor Shun Yao smiled and pointed at Princess Yaoyue. Everyone knew that he had revealed his secrets when he said this. Princess Yaoyue's head drooped a little more. It is a crime of treason for the royal family to make friends with officials in private.
"I know! Princess Seventeen..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "Your Highness came to Ningzhou for a visit last month. After hearing my name, he came here specially to have a look at it. He also rewarded me with three large boxes of silver, asking me to be loyal to Dashun, and to handle the errands of the Arch Guard Division well. !"
"Seventeen! You went to Suizhou to play, why did you go to Lantai again..."
Emperor Shun Yao slightly raised his hand, obviously looking for trouble, a group of concubines hastily left, leaving only Princess Yaoyue alone.
"Father!"
Princess Yaoyue is also an old fritter, she got up and said without changing her face: "My daughter heard that there are many novelties in Lantai, so she went to Lantai to buy them when she saw Lie Xinxi, and met the famous Chief Zhao on the way, but the boss who met Mr. Why don't you just empty your hands!"
"oh!"
Emperor Shun Yao said with a half-smile: "It seems that the more you live, the more you go back, and you become as playful as that girl in Yongning!"
"Father! My daughter is still young before leaving the cabinet..."
Princess Yaoyue swayed her body coquettishly, but the little princess suddenly jumped out and said in surprise: "Zhao Yunxuan! Why did you come here? Are you going to be castrated and become a eunuch?"
"Hahaha… "
Emperor Shunyao and Jin Wuming raised their heads and laughed, while Zhao Guanren said with a wry smile: "Little princess! Can't you just hope for me to order, you want me to be a eunuch in Lantai, but I'm the only one in my family. I really can't castrate it!"
"Grandfather!"
The little princess threw herself on Emperor Shunyao, and said with a smirk: "You eunuch him, this guy is very interesting, you eunuch him and give me a little eunuch, let him play with me every day, okay?"
"OK!"
Emperor Shun Yao raised his head and smiled and said, "If this kid doesn't tell the truth today, I will eunuch him and give you a little eunuch!"
"Your Majesty! Don't scare me, I just point to this bit of happiness..."
Zhao Guanren said bitterly: "As long as the emperor doesn't chop off my dog's head, I will dare to say a few words today, just say that you are the imperial garden, the yin energy is concentrated, it is almost a ghost, and you are a real man in the whole palace. No matter how strong the yang energy is, it can't suppress this yin energy!"
"Hmm~ I'm also a boy..."
Jin Wuming coughed softly, and Zhao Guanren turned around and said, "Commander Jin! You don't live here at night, and the yin energy is floating around at night. Besides, I think that you are not enough energy and blood. I'm afraid it's because of old injuries. You have been cultivating in this imperial garden all night, and I promise that you will not survive this year!"
"Crap!"
Emperor Shun Yao said angrily: "My imperial garden is a mass burial.
Gang, what you said is useless, I live here day and night, shouldn't I have died a long time ago? "
"Look! Honest advice is harsh..."
Zhao Guanren smiled wryly and said: "Of course the commander-in-chief can't compare with you, I might as well say it again, this imperial garden is really a mass grave, if you don't believe me, let someone dig up the flower bush behind the rockery, if there are no grievances underneath, my minister Take your head off and kick it for you!"
"Ghost?"
Emperor Shunyao looked over in surprise, the faces of Jin Wuming and the old eunuch also changed, the little princess and Princess Yaoyue were stunned, and the little princess asked timidly: "You mean there are ghosts there? But where did the ghost come from in broad daylight?"
"Your Majesty! Please follow me to see..."
Zhao Guanren walked to the rockery, pointed to a slightly withered flower bush, and said, "As the saying goes, a woman's waist is the knife that kills people. , so there must be a corpse under this withered flower bush!"
"Come on! Dig up..."
Emperor Shun Yao took two steps back and yelled loudly. The old eunuch in cold sweat rushed to call for someone, but Princess Yaoyue asked suspiciously: "Chief Zhao! It is rumored in Lantai County that you can subdue demons and catch ghosts, but Is there a matter?"
"Your Highness!"
Zhao Guanren pretended to force a smile and said: "A person with a clean heart can find even a speck of dust. If the heart is not clean, even if he is in a cesspit, he will not notice it. This is the truth that those who are close to ink are black. Confrontation, naturally pure and sensitive!"
'You can really brag...'
The little princess silently mouthed to him, just as a group of little eunuchs ran over with tools, Emperor Shunyao folded his arms and frowned at the side, but he smelled a stench before digging too deep, the little princess He ran to the side and vomited it out.
"vomit~"
The little eunuchs also turned their heads and vomited, and large strands of maggots came out from the ground. Emperor Shun Yao also covered his nose and retreated. Only Princess Yaoyue was fine. She didn't retreat in a hurry until Zhao Guanren gave her a wink. Pretending to be unbearable.
"Your Majesty! Your dragon body is precious, it stinks too much, you should go back to the palace first..."
The old eunuch held his nose and almost felt sick. More than a dozen young eunuchs couldn't dig any further, and the severely decomposed body parts had been exposed, but Emperor Shun Yao held his nose and shouted: "Dig! Dig them all out for me." , I want to take a good look, whose wronged soul is down there!"
"Let me come! You go and carry the big box..."
Zhao Guanren put on a mask and picked up the farm tools. He had seen many corpses more disgusting than this, and Jin Wuming also came over to help him.
The two quickly dug out the body parts, but in the end there were only seven or eight fragments. They could only barely confirm that the deceased was an eunuch. They didn't know where his head was buried, and he didn't have a single piece of clothing on his body.
"This is a master, basically chopped with a knife..."
Jin Wuming squatted down and fiddled with the corpse with a wooden stick. Zhao Guanren even picked up a large piece and looked through it carefully. The old eunuch finally couldn't take it anymore and ran away to vomit. The little princess had already hid behind Emperor Shunyao. I hugged him so tightly that I didn't dare to look at him.
"Male or female? What kind of status..."
Emperor Shun Yao's face was livid, and Jin Wuming shook his head and said: "Eunuch! It's too rotten, and there's not even a single piece of clothing, but last month a young eunuch disappeared from the harem for no reason. A sea arrest document has been issued!"
"Commander! Wrong, these are two corpses, a man and a woman..."
Zhao Guanren stood up and clapped his hands. Jin Wuming was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly looked through the body parts again, stood up and asked, "How did you know that there are no body parts with female characteristics here!"
"Look carefully at the two broken legs, it can't be a eunuch..."
Zhao
Guan Ren said loudly: "Eunuchs often have to kneel down, and calluses have already formed on their knees, and the kneecaps are different from those of normal people, so these are not only a pair of women's legs, but also not a court lady, it should be a woman's legs." Young lady!"
"What are you talking about, no one is missing from my mother..."
Emperor Shun Yao rushed over in shock, and Zhao Guanren said anxiously: "Your Majesty! I don't understand the titles in the palace. Anyway, she is a plump young woman who doesn't need to kneel often. The other corpse is a young eunuch, mixed together Just to confuse the public!"
"Your Majesty! The body will rot within ten days..."
Jin Wuming clasped his fists and said: "However, no woman has disappeared in the palace in the past two years, let alone the concubine, but there are indeed two dead bodies here. I know!"
"Great Commander! How many women are there in the palace? There must be three thousand..."
Zhao Guanren folded his arms and looked at him. Jin Wuming said, "Not only! There are 4,638 palace maids alone. Counting more than 600 royal children and concubines, the total number should exceed 5,000!"
"Yeah!"
Zhao Guanren clapped his hands and said, "It takes a long time for so many people to count. As long as there is a small group of people who hide it together, you don't know how many people are missing. You should quickly pull people out to count, Your Majesty! The humble minister has resigned, and foreign ministers should not be here. Stay long!"
"You're not allowed to go anywhere..."
Emperor Shun Yao said angrily: "You are the right supervisor of the guard, and you have the responsibility of guarding the palace. You have to investigate today's matter to the end. I will let the chief eunuch accompany you to investigate, and Xiao Shiqi and Xiao Yongning will also be with you. , I want to know who is cheating!"
"Oh, my broken mouth..."
Zhao Guanren slapped himself, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty! You can investigate the case, but I'll just sit here and investigate, and I won't go anywhere. Don't say that I saw something I shouldn't, and castrated me with a knife. That humble minister has nowhere to cry!"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm not so narrow-minded..."
Emperor Shunyao pointed to him and said: "Take people to the place where you should go. If there is anything you can't see in broad daylight, then find the other corpses for me. These damned dogs dare to mess up the imperial garden. It's a miasma, this time I will definitely kill it!"
"Great Commander! Hurry up and ask someone to order it, and then arrest the gardener for inspection..."
Zhao Guanren sat down on a rock helplessly, and the little princess and Princess Yaoyue were all squatting in the distance watching, but Emperor Shunyao suddenly leaned over and asked, "Zhao Yunxuan! Do you really have dark eyes, you can see things that ordinary people can't see?" s things?"
"Why did the emperor say that?"
Zhao Guanren stood up in a daze, and Emperor Shun Yao squinted his eyes and said: "You have fought against Onmyoji, and it is impossible for you to beat them back alone. You can tell me honestly, will it be possible?"
"Your Majesty! I understand, you invited me to catch ghosts..."
Zhao Guanren smiled wryly and said: "I dare not hide it from you, the prince's mansion where you put me, there is a room full of hanged ghosts, the old prince is wearing a red dragon robe, hanged two princesses on the left and right, and there are a few little ghost heads Running around the house, three men and two women!"
"Gudu~"
Emperor Shun Yao actually swallowed hard, grabbed his wrist and said nervously: "Then, that is my fourth uncle. Over the years, I have often reported dreams to me, saying that he was killed by an adulterer, and it was not self-destruction. I will avenge him!"
"They won't be pestering you anymore, I've opened an altar to let them reincarnate..."
Zhao Guanren pointed to the sky inscrutablely, and Emperor Shun Yao hurriedly said: "No! You have to use your dark eyes, and let me check it from the inside to the outside. There are a lot of unjust dead ghosts in the palace. Who would dare If you pester me, you will kill anyone!"
