at night!
Kerosene lamps were lit in the palace, the number was twice as many as usual, but few people in the harem dared to come out, even the noble concubine did not want to cause trouble, only Zhao Guanren led a team of female guards from the Jingdu guards, Walk around with hands behind your back.
"Go around in the alley, I rely on this to smoke a cigarette..."
Zhao Guanren stopped outside an alley, and the female guards entered the alley with oil lamps, leaving only Tan Qingning to light cigarettes for him, while Bian Xianglan and other women had already settled in the princess mansion, and the old princess had already married to the county. They will live in the princess mansion for a while.
"Ah~ It's mostly a mess, like a market woman..."
Tan Qingning said helplessly: "What are you hanging out with a certain eunuch, giving a certain concubine an abortion drug, I don't even bother to read these kinds of report letters, they are all sealed up, but many empresses have reported that Concubine Bai Shu's prince is not the emperor's own! "
"Oh? Do you have any evidence, where is the wild man from the harem..."
Zhao Guanren looked at her in surprise, and Tan Qingning said in a low voice: "They said that the emperor's royal conquest a few years ago, his lower abdomen was injured and he could no longer give birth. He has been lucky to have visited more than a dozen concubines, and only Concubine Bai Shu was happy. I suspect it was borrowed from the crown prince. , all dragon species can’t see it!”
"Cut~"
Zhao Guanren curled his lips and said, "It's useless to suspect that there is no evidence. Besides, why did the crown prince lend her the seed? He thought he didn't die fast enough. That's right! Is there any concubine who didn't give a gift?"
"have!"
Tan Qingning said in a low voice: "Concubine Zhou Huanggui and Qin Guifei, as well as Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Bai Shu, all of them were given some by their mothers. There are really two honest ones who made dumplings for you!"
"I have no impression of Concubine Qin, I only heard that she is a cold-blooded professional..."
Zhao Guanren squinted his eyes and said: "The Royal Concubine Zhou is the old lady of the King of Chu. If the crown prince is abolished, her son is very likely to be in power, but she didn't even fight me face to face. According to the logic of who wins and who is the real murderer, This imperial concubine of Zhou needs to investigate carefully!"
"Well! One queen and two concubines, she is the third head of the harem..."
Tan Qingning walked forward together with him, and all the female guards followed, but after a while, she ran into two female guards standing guard, all of whom were female Imperial Guards transferred from outside the palace. It can be seen that the emperor was suspicious and worried. His own woman doesn't trust him either.
"What's the matter, my lord, the empress has already fallen asleep..."
An old court lady happened to be about to close the gate of the courtyard. When she saw Zhao Guanren approaching, she blocked the door. Behind her was the bedroom of the sixth prince's old lady, but Zhao Guanren had already seen it clearly. The old lady was sitting in the study, standing beside her. Wearing a personal maid.
"After the curfew, you are not allowed to go out without permission. If there are special circumstances, you can notify the female guards on guard..."
Zhao Guanren left after exhorting. Although the chasing eyes could only see two balls of golden living souls, and could not see what the old women were doing, but from the posture of the maid, one could guess that she was stuffing the letter into the envelope and putting it away. into the sleeves.
"Qing Ning! Send someone to keep an eye on this old woman..."
Zhao Guanren said in a low voice: "The sixth prince is not in the palace, so he doesn't know what's going on inside. His wife will definitely send someone to deliver a letter. I will check all the people and objects that come out of Xiaoduan Palace!"
"Based on my experience, letters are generally not found out..."
Tan Qingning shook her head and said: "These ladies are all treacherous and cunning, secret letters will not be written out clearly, and the cronies around them are all prosperous and damaged, and they are very tight-lipped. If you want to catch their pigtails, you have to follow them. Start with the people around you!"
"Hmm! Find their match, who hasn't had two matches..."
Zhao Guanren nodded in agreement, but Tan Qingning smiled bitterly: "You have just entered the palace for a day, and I can't understand what you are saying. Let's wait all night tonight, and bring someone out for interrogation tomorrow morning. Next, you can definitely dig something out!"
"Ah~~~"
A child's cry sounded from the front, Zhao Guanren looked for the sound and walked over to have a look, the front was the third courtyard of Concubine Bai Shu, but Concubine Bai Shu was lazing
Even though the child was crying and howling, she didn't even look at the book, and the maid ran in to nurse the child.
"Who is the backer of Concubine Tong Gui and Concubine Bai Shu..."
Zhao Guanren rubbed his sore eyeballs, feeling that if he continued to peek like this, his soul-seeking eyes would sooner or later turn into needle eyes, but what surprised him was that the rest of the body parts have not been found so far, and the missing head has disappeared without a trace no trace.
"Concubine Bai Shu is the granddaughter of the Minister of War, and her backing is quite strong..."
Tan Qingning said as she walked, "But I didn't find out Concubine Tong Gui, and I couldn't tell if I asked a few empresses, but I don't think these two people are suspected. Their eldest prince is only seven years old, and the prince can't fall. On their son's head!"
"Who are you? What are you carrying..."
Zhao Guanren suddenly rushed to the intersection ahead, and saw several eunuchs carrying three large quilts, but seeing that the quilts were all wrapped in young women, he put down his copper hammer and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in a good mood tonight. Flip the card just after the o'clock?"
"Ouch~ Lord of the county! You scared the slaves..."
A middle-aged girl turned around and said with a low laugh: "The emperor is very angry tonight, and he has been unable to calm down. My godfather suggested that the emperor use his virginity to celebrate happiness and get rid of bad luck. No! The slaves have selected three Talent, strip and wash for the emperor to choose!"
"You have collected a lot of money from others, you dare to send it up..."
Zhao Guanren walked over and looked at him curiously. The heads of the three girls were all exposed. Seeing him, they all closed their eyes shyly. She is a good-bred girl!"
"You idiot! I don't think you are Lao Tian's godson, I don't even bother to say you..."
Zhao Guanren said contemptuously: "Your majesty is purging fire and not having a son. Lin Xiang'er from Chuxiuyuan is the kind of big and tall person who can sing. Let her dress up as Zhong Kui's daughter and sing "Zhong Kui's Married Daughter" , if the emperor doesn't order her platform, you will smash my signboard!"
"Aiyo~ This servant is really stupid, thank you for reminding me, please take it back quickly..."
The sissy ran back hurriedly with the people, but Tan Qingning came over and said puzzled: "You talk so much about the emperor turning over cards, don't worry about it too much!"
"I just can't understand the faces of these bitches..."
Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "Lin Xiang'er is a child of a poor family, and they can't give them any rewards. These bitches deliberately bully them, let them live in the most shabby house, wash their clothes by themselves, and sometimes even the food is rotten. Just help me!"
"Oh~ this harem is really like a big prison..."
Tan Qingning sighed faintly, Zhao Guanren looked at his watch and said, "I'm out of the harem, I've already sent someone to seal the imperial hospital, you bring someone tomorrow morning..."
Zhao Guanren was stunned before he finished speaking. He only saw a few elders walking over. They were all dressed in official uniforms of white guards. clothing mix and match.
"Master Commander!"
Tan Qingning and the other girls hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and Zhao Guanren suddenly realized that it was the boss of Jingdu Weichang, the famous Commander Duan, but all five of them were tall, burly and tough guys. Rooted people?"
"Exactly!"
Commander Duan walked over with a smirk, bowed his hands and saluted, and then smiled and said: "Didn't Qing Ning tell the county prince, otherwise we would dare to enter the harem at night. The real man who can enter the harem at night through the ages, except for the emperor, is Yongshi The king of the county!"
"This is beyond my expectation..."
Zhao Guanren looked him up and down and said with a smile: "Perhaps everyone thinks that this king should know. No one has ever told this king that Commander Duan is actually a father-in-law. Judging by the dusty appearance of the father-in-laws, they should have just come from other places. bring it on?"
"The emperor called urgently! The lower officials rushed over six hundred miles from Yongcheng..."
Commander Duan smiled neither humble nor overbearing: "We are no longer ministers, the prince can't call us father-in-law, the emperor ordered us to assist the prince with his business, if we are here
If there is any inconvenience in the harem, just send me to do it, Lord Wanwang don't treat us as outsiders! "
"Savior!"
As soon as Zhao Guanren grasped his hand, he said excitedly: "Investigating the case is the job of the field guard. The king's intervention is to drive the ducks to the shelves. The harem will be handed over to you. You must investigate and find out. The king will take a step first. Don't come looking for me!"
"My lord, don't worry! I haven't finished my words..."
Commander Duan smiled and said: "The emperor's words! The king of Yongshi County is the chief inspector of the Gongwei Division, and all 21 female field guards have been included under your command. From now on, the Jingdu Weichang will assist the Gongwei Division in investigating cases, so you just It’s the general, we’re just your little soldiers!”
"What? We're assigned to the Arch Guard Division..."
Tan Qingning and the other women were all stunned, Commander Duan nodded and smiled and said, "Qing Ning! To tell you a happy event, your master has also been transferred to the Guards Division, and will take up the position of right supervisor vacated by the prince. From now on, you will still be under his command If you take office, you will receive the document from the Ministry of Officials tomorrow!"
"Ha ha ha ha… "
Zhao Guanren raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "Your Majesty is really His Majesty, he will never let go of his power, and forcibly demolished a Jingdu guard field to stare at me, but the Jingdu guard field cannot be allowed to grow bigger. I guess Yemingsha will go to your place to fill in the gap, his master is Qianyexuan!"
"..."
Commander Duan's eyes burst into a gleam, and he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "My lord is really witty, I admire you, Ye Mingsha has indeed made up for the vacancy of the black-clothed deputy commander, and the white-clothed deputy commander is behind me, Lord Shan Qixiang is in charge!"
"Old Duan! You can do it yourself..."
Zhao Guanren patted him on the shoulder and said: "The emperor really values me too much, laying in ambush from all sides, blocking all directions, but if the errand goes wrong, don't imagine that you can just scold me and finish the job like last time. Wang Bula and a group of people will support me, so my surname will not be Zhao!"
"Hmph~ People are afraid of you Zhao Wenshen, but I'm not afraid..."
Commander Duan lowered his voice and said angrily: "You asked for this all by yourself. You have been making troubles since Lantai County, and there are already many people down here to back you up. You'd better not let me get hold of it, otherwise I will New and old accounts will be settled with you, Zhao Jiacai!"
"uncle!"
suddenly!
A concubine led the maid to the street, waved and smiled and said, "Why did you arrive so late? Come in and have a bowl of hot soup. My concubine specially made rock sugar ginger soup for you. The weather is cold and rainy again." When it rains, don't let the cold enter your body!"
"Thank you, ma'am, I'll be here soon..."
Commander Duan puffed up his chest and led the people over. Zhao Guanren and others finally realized that he was the backer behind Concubine Tong, and the old eunuch Duan was Concubine Tong's uncle. It was really surprising.
"Yunxuan! This is going to be troublesome..."
Tan Qingning whispered, "One of Mr. Duan's nephew was implicated by a Thai thief, and the emperor decreed to behead him. He put the blame on you. Although my master didn't deal with him, my senior brother also blamed you. If you are dismissed and exiled to the army, he will not retaliate against you, nor will he show favoritism!"
"Am I afraid of their retaliation? I wish someone would block the gun for me..."
Zhao Guanren crossed his arms and said with a sneer: "This muddy water is getting deeper and deeper, and all the ghosts and ghosts are jumping out. The emperor, an old bastard who gave birth to a son and has no fart eyes, still has the face to tell me that father and son are of the same heart. I wish him today." Break it at night, and become a eunuch from now on!"
"You're crazy! Keep your voice down..."
Tan Qingning punched him in horror, but Zhao Guanren said again: "I know it's difficult for you to be caught in the middle, I only have one request for you, do your duty before the errand is finished, and keep our secrets, even if your master asks Say, can it be done?"
"Yes! This is my responsibility and my bottom line..."
Tan Qingning straightened her chest seriously, and Zhao Guanren patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go! No one is allowed to approach the queen's bedroom, so as not to destroy the evidence of rebellion. I'll show the emperor the gate, fuck it! First time to the boss." Be a security guard!"
