"Use the nunchuck quickly, hehehe, use the nunchuck quickly, the wind will flourish..."
In the quiet palace, it was like breaking into a tattered house. The faces of the female family members of the Zhao family turned pale with fright. Those who had never been in the palace knew how strict the rules were. They were already imagining that Zhao Guanren would be dragged down and held in the Caishikou beheaded for public display.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao! You've come..."
Sudden!
The high-end Concubine Wu Xian changed her face in an instant, stepped forward delicately, waved and shouted: "My family made some dumplings by myself, Master Zhao, please take them away and taste them, the dumpling stuffing is specially made for you, you must like it, my lord is lucky to inspect it Bitter!"
"..."
The girls couldn't believe their ears, and looked back secretly in fear. Sure enough, Zhao Guanren came over wielding a small copper hammer, and a group of female guards followed behind him, holding many gift boxes in their hands, as if he had just arrived. After receiving a lot of gifts, I came back.
"What kind of dumplings are you eating, come here for me..."
Zhao Guanren actually pushed Concubine Wu Xian away with a single push, and the chief eunuch knelt on the ground, his old and soft face instantly turned pale.
Zhao Guanren pointed at him with a copper hammer and yelled: "You are the leader of Shangshan Supervisor, you really know how to hide, I am looking for you everywhere!"
"No, no, no! My lord, this old slave is the eunuch with the handprint of the gangster, you are mistaken..."
The old eunuch lay on the ground trembling with fear, Zhao Guanren stepped forward and grabbed him by the back collar, whispering something to him.
The old eunuch nodded repeatedly as if he had received an amnesty: "I know, I know! This old slave knows, thank you for your noble hand!"
"Concubine Wu Xian! I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person..."
Zhao Guanren walked back to Concubine Wu Xian again, mockingly said: "You soaked your brain in the bath, you actually led the eunuch in charge of the bathhouse into the house, I think you, a concubine, will soon become a concubine. The door to the cold palace has been opened for you!"
"My lord! We have dry goods, really dry goods..."
Concubine Wu Xian's eyes were bloodshot in an instant, and she handed over the food box with a hideous face. Zhao Guanren took the heavy food box and handed it to the female guard, saying: "Concubine Wu Xian is deeply favored by the emperor, don't disturb her to rest, good grade The guards will do!"
"yes!"
A female guard came forward with red paint, and drew a red "good" character in front of Concubine Wu Xian's courtyard. Concubine Wu Xian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed her legs happily, and hurried back to the house with the maid. The old eunuch also ran away in a hurry.
"Why are you still kneeling, get up..."
Zhao Guanren looked at his family members jokingly. The women all seemed to see gods. Looking around, they were sure it was the emperor's harem, otherwise they would have thought they were in Zhao Guanren's house.
"Tan Qingning!"
Zhao Guanren put his hands behind his back and said: "Don't ask more questions than you should. You are under my control now. I will take you to dinner first. Let's talk while eating!"
"Humble post obeys!"
Tan Qingning knew that it was inconvenient for him to say more, so she obediently led others to follow him, and all the maids leading the way also ran away. Although Bian Xianglan and the other four girls were in the fog, seeing her man's arrogant appearance, I just felt like there was an iron plate stuck in my waist.
"Master Zhao! Come in and sit down, I have some good new tea here..."
"Master Zhao! You are so lucky, my concubine specially made cakes for you..."
"Master Zhao! Why did you come here..."
A series of coquettish and fawning voices, all kinds of concubines waited in front of the courtyard one after another, giving all kinds of gifts or eating, almost made Tan Qingning and the others think that what they entered was not the emperor's harem at all, but his Zhao Guanren's harem.
"Sisters!"
Bian Yulei whispered in shock: "Why are all these ladies flattering our master? They all claim to be concubines and slaves. How big a deal does he have to do?"
"Where is this
It's flattery, it's saving your life, something must have happened..."
Bian Xianglan raised her brows with a weird expression. The guards could hardly carry anything, and every time they went to a house, they would leave marks. The marks were divided into three levels, good, medium, and to-do. Such as mourning concubines.
"Let's go! Let's eat hot pot..."
Zhao Guanren strutted into a big courtyard, inside there was a magnificent palace, surrounded by singing birds and fragrant flowers, pavilions, towers and pavilions, only to see three large characters written on the plaque - Mercy Palace!
"Eating hot pot? This is the queen's palace..."
Tan Qingning almost frightened him to death, but Zhao Guanren walked straight into the palace, and six court ladies had already knelt in front of the door to greet him, obsequiously helping him take off his official boots and put on loose cloth shoes, and then gave Bian Xianglan and the others The woman kowtowed to salute.
"Come! Everyone in my family sit down, and the rest come over..."
Zhao Guanren sat boldly in the main hall. There were indeed hot pots and stones on a round table, and even the old imperial wine was taken out to drink, but the palace was already empty, and the queen's phoenix robe and hairpins were all gone. Throw it on the soft bed.
"Come on! Ladies line up, don't call me your master, don't call me your lord, call me brother..."
Zhao Guanren brought two big food boxes in front of him, and after opening, there was a letter in each, and the bottom was full of gold, silver and jewels, and said with a smile: "Remember, as long as you follow your brother faithfully and work hard, prosperity and wealth are indispensable to you." Yes, come and claim your reward!"
"Thank you, brother!"
A tall female guard ran over, bowed shyly and took two gold ingots, and the rest were excited too. Who would have thought that Zhao Guanren was so generous that even the six maids got a share, and all of them shouted "Brother" excitedly.
"Little Ling'er! You take the sisters to the side hall for dinner, and we will start work after the food is melted..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand with a smile, and the guards and maids left thankfully.
"Qing Ning!"
Zhao Guanren kicked the gift box on the ground and said, "You have divided these two boxes of money among the girls, and there will be more after you work hard, but you are not field guards now, but my private inspectors, you are tight-lipped , You have to listen to me, understand?"
"understood!"
The female field guards nodded cautiously. He is probably the only man who can drive the queen out of the palace to eat hot pot, except for the emperor.
"Yunxuan!"
Tan Qingning hurriedly asked: "Why did you come to the harem? What happened? Was the corpse poison stolen?"
"Enter the harem to investigate the case. If the investigation is good, you will be promoted to the official rank, but if the investigation is not good, you will move your head..."
Zhao Guanren said sternly: "The corpse poison was not stolen, but someone in the harem murdered the emperor with sorcery. At present, the empress and her son are the most suspected. The empress has been locked in the cold palace, the prince has been imprisoned in the east palace, and Prince Duan's family has also been imprisoned. In the palace!"
"..."
The faces of the female field guards all changed, and suddenly felt that the silver on the ground was extremely hot.
"Now no one knows that it was caused by sorcery. They all think that the corpse poison is lost, and you can't leak the secret..."
Zhao Guanren took out a booklet and said: "Investigating cases is your strength, this is the clue that you can know, start with the headless corpse in the Imperial Garden, don't ask too much about your private life, come and report to me if you have any secrets." , you can’t pretend you didn’t hear it, and you can’t tell outsiders!”
"grown ups!"
A female field guard stepped forward to take the booklet and said, "What methods can we use, can we bring out the suspect to extract a confession, can the ladies also check it?"
"You must first understand the unspoken rules of the harem. The six maids are your guides. The concubine who is favored must be polite. You can use harsh words to threaten, but you must not be violent..."
Zhao Guanren said: "I will check the noble concubine and the imperial concubine, and the rest can be searched in their bedroom, but you must be sure to do so.
Eunuchs and palace maids, if they don’t cooperate, just slap them with their mouths, and don’t slap the eunuchs around the emperor! "
"Humble job understands!"
The field guards clasped their fists and bowed.
"You go to work first and then eat..."
Zhao Guanren said: "These gift boxes on the ground all have the surnames of the concubines. You should list the gifts and register them in the register. If there is a report letter in the box, you must indicate it. It is not allowed to open it privately. Let Tan Qingning check and summarize it. tell me!"
Tan Qingning said in surprise: "You are asking them to report each other, no wonder you have to grade them!"
"Smart! None of the concubines in the harem have a clean ass..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "You can't leak the secrets. They are all kept in the dark now. The classification is to let them eat dogs. If someone really gave food or a small amount of silver, don't investigate this kind of honest people. If you don't give gifts and don't give them a deep investigation. The person who gives the most gifts!"
Bian Yulei asked curiously: "Why? Isn't it good to give too much?"
"You curious baby, what are you doing all day long..."
Zhao Guanren scratched her little nose, and said with a smile: "Giving too much shows that she has a guilty conscience and is capable of making money in the palace. This kind of person has the highest chance of accidents. Those who don't give gifts are either fearless, or they are real culprits. They are worried about accidents." I dare not give gifts!"
"Well! This method is really good, it can greatly improve our efficiency..."
Tan Qingning nodded in agreement, but after the field guards picked up their things and went down, she quickly sat down at the table and said, "Why did the emperor let you enter the harem to investigate the case? What if we kill you after the investigation? Just do this kind of dirty work all the time!"
"Flying birds are all gone! Good bows are hidden! But he dare not shut up until the birds are all shot..."
Zhao Guanren turned around and said with a smile: "The emperor was not afraid that I would leak the secret, but he was afraid that I would quit, so he hurriedly brought my daughters-in-law to the palace. I can't escape when they are here, and he even asked me to go to the palace." Pick a few concubines to sleep with, and let me live the emperor's addiction!"
"Pfft~"
Bian Xianglan sprayed tea on his face, and said anxiously: "Are you going crazy? If you put the girls to bed, will our family be dissatisfied with copying and beheading?"
"I'm not stupid! It's okay to sleep with his woman's dry hair, but you can't sleep with his wife if you sleep with his daughter..."
Zhao Guanren wiped his tea and laughed: "Let's eat! The emperor will receive you tomorrow morning. You have to live in the palace during this time. Don't be restrained. You can do whatever you want. Now no one in the palace dares to provoke your master, that's right! He What kind of county king did you seal me?"
"Prince Yongshi!"
"What? The king who swims in shit, the king who swims in shit..."
"Hahaha… "
The girls leaned back and laughed with their bellies in their hands, but someone outside the door suddenly teased: "You are still a great talent, Yongshi County King means forever in the annals of history, if you are a biological prince, you are Yongshi!" Prince, this title is so precious!"
"Haha~ The imperial concubine is here, let's have some food together..."
Zhao Guanren stood up and smiled, seeing the little princess bringing her grandma, a graceful and luxurious old woman, this is the old lady of Prince Duan, except for the queen's second in command in the harem, and she took the initiative to greet her as soon as she entered the door. Zhao Guanren bowed his knees and saluted.
"Huh~ You really have no conscience, you don't call me when you eat hot pot, I'll kick you to death..."
The little princess ran over to play coquettishly with him, while the imperial concubine walked towards the back hall with a smile on her face, with only two old maids behind her, Zhao Guanren followed tacitly, and walked into the place that concubines dream of. In the inner hall of the queen.
"Hmph~ why didn't you copy her nest, how cool it is to copy her..."
The little princess arrogantly crossed her waist, while the imperial concubine dragged her gorgeous court dress, went straight to the golden phoenix chair and sat down. She said with a dignified smile: "Your Highness! Everyone says you have sharp eyes. Look at me." Are you good enough to sit here?"
