Consort Zhanzhao

The emperor looked at his 16-year-old daughter, with a ignorant face, who was still slim in men's clothing, and he couldn't help sighing, thinking that Concubine Jing had planted the matter on her head, it was really abominable!

"On the third day of next month, I will take you to Huangzhuang to escape the summer heat." The emperor wanted to make up for his daughter, so he made such a suggestion.

Sure enough, he saw surprise in his daughter's eyes.

It's no wonder that Zhao Bijia was pleasantly surprised, the imperial city has been wandering around for a long time without getting lost with his eyes closed.And as a princess, although her parents love her, she can go to the capital from time to time, but traveling has always been her favorite.

"Thank you, Father." Zhao Bijia quickly blessed her body, and said with a smile: "Then I went back to pack my things?"

Seeing his daughter jumping for joy, the emperor was also much happier, and joked, "We're only going next month, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Zhao Bijia walked out of the Palace of Qinzheng, and the emperor's expression immediately fell.There was no other reason, and he remembered Concubine Jing who had been unwilling to keep her own place. He stood up and strode towards the Jingxin Palace.

Here, Wu Chengye followed Bao Zheng and others to the eunuch's residence, and called out the two eunuchs Bao Zheng wanted to interrogate.

"Master Bao, it's these two." Wu Chengye's life is not going well these days, and the main reason is that he misjudged the case, so now he is more respectful to Bao Zheng.

But Bao Zheng's face was so dark that no expression could be seen.

Although it's quite offensive to look unsmiling at ordinary times, but with a dark face at this time, Wu Chengye doesn't feel embarrassed.

Bao Zheng said with a blank expression, "Thank you, Manager Wu."

Wu Chengye smiled along with him.

Bao Zheng said again: "There is one more thing I want to ask Director Wu for help."

"Don't dare, Master Bao will tell you to do so."

"Mr. Wu, can you ask someone to watch these two houses now, and wait for the police from the government to come and search them to see if there are any clues related to the murder case."

Wu Chengye nodded hastily, "Don't worry, Mr. Bao, I will lead someone to guard it myself, and I will never let anyone in." He was frightened by the emperor.

Although he is quite favored and feels that no one can take his place, but it is not good for Wu Chengye to say from the emperor's mouth, "One day you can't find the real culprit, and you will follow Bao Zheng all day." information.

Hearing Wu Chengye's assurance, Bao Zheng nodded, "Thank you, Manager Wu."

The two eunuchs were taken away by Bao Zheng. Although they lowered their heads and couldn't see any expressions, Zhan Zhao, who was walking behind them, saw the two men clenched their fists and exchanged glances quickly. there is none left.

When he returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng called the yamen servants to take the two away, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Go to the palace with Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to investigate, if you can find some evidence, when the mansion interrogates them It can also be pre-emptive.”

"Zhan understands."

Gongsun Ce thought that Zhan Zhao had just entered the Gongmen, so he couldn't help but confess, "If you can find some property that doesn't match their identities, it will explain the problem even more."

Zhan Zhao has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child. Although this is the first time he has been on a business trip, he still understands the basic principles, but he is modest, and there is no displeasure on his face after hearing Gongsun Ce's confession, "Thank you, Mr. Gongsun, for your instructions. "

Zhan Zhao, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu went to the palace again, Gongsun Ce went to read the earlier confession, but Bao Zheng went to the backyard home alone, called Bao Xing and said, "Go get the fairy pillow."

The emperor who entered the palace today was obviously angry, and he was urging him so hard that he had to use it.

Bao Xing made the bed, Bao Zheng lay on the bed with his clothes on, eyes closed, waiting for the messenger to pick him up.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he entered the gate of the Jingxin Hall, he roared, "Concubine Jing, what a good deed you have done!"

Concubine Jing was sitting cross-legged in front of the portrait of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty reading the Tao Te Ching, but was so frightened by the emperor that she dropped the book in her hand.

She looked at the emperor with complicated eyes, but she lowered her head after a slight glance.

"Your Majesty, you are..."

"You're still pretending! Your palace man framed the princess, and you can't get away with it!"

Concubine Jing glanced at the emperor in shock, staggered two steps back, gritted her teeth and argued, "No... I have never been to any other place except to pay my respects to my mother. Why do you say that, Your Majesty?"

"You understand in your heart!" The emperor became more and more impatient seeing her like this.

Emperor Renzong himself is in his forties this year, and Concubine Jing is about the same age. Besides, after being deposed, she has become decadent, and no matter how much she maintains her, it is useless.

So when she made this expression, the emperor showed no pity at all.

"You hate her, so you let your eunuch blame Bijia, and you don't use your brain, how old is Bijia?" The emperor took two steps forward, but felt that the person in front of him was really annoying, Said: "When you were the empress, how many princesses and princes did I die! Hmph, I released many people inside and outside the palace of Bijia and Xuan'er, how could it be them!"

Concubine Jing fell on the cushion she was sitting on just now, weeping silently, and said weakly: "Your Majesty, I was wronged! After that time... After that time, all the eunuchs and maids in my palace are new recruits, I—" They didn't even recognize them all.

Before she could finish speaking, the emperor left.

Concubine Jing's Fan Duo'er came in with tea poured for the emperor, just in time to see the back of the emperor leaving.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already left." She put the tea on the table, and there was no emotion in her voice.

The sad and tearful expression on Concubine Jing's face immediately disappeared without a trace, she stretched out her hand, and Fan Duoer immediately helped her up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows things like a god."

Concubine Jing snorted coldly and said nothing.

In Concubine Pang's Huayang Palace, the palace maid Hua Yingyue ran in in a panic, saw Concubine Pang and said: "Your Majesty is not well, I heard that Lord Bao took those two away."

"What are you afraid of?" Concubine Pang Guifei lowered her face, put the teacup heavily on the table, and said, "I'm in a mess."

Yingyue lowered her head in shame, and said in a low voice: "I also heard that Zhan Huwei and two officials from Kaifeng Mansion went into the palace to search their house."

Hearing the word search, Concubine Pang Guifei panicked and stood up hastily, perhaps because she moved too much, even the golden hairpin and jade hairpin on one end were ringing non-stop.

Just when she stood up, she regained her composure, and comforted herself: "One is the gatekeeper of the Imperial Garden, and the other is the eunuch of the Concubine Jing's Palace. If we want to investigate, we can't beat us!" She glanced at Yingyue, "Go, go to the imperial dining room, and say that the heat and humidity are unbearable, and I will serve some light dishes for dinner."

Yingyue said yes, bowed her head and went out.

Concubine Pang said to herself again: "The things Daddy sent in... have no traces on them, they will definitely not be able to find out."

After saying this, Concubine Pang felt much relieved, picked up the tea, and took another sip.

Zhan Zhao checked very carefully.

What he checked was the house of the eunuch Jingfei, and Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and the others thought it was the house of the eunuch guarding the imperial garden.

Whether it was the eaves or the cabinets, Zhan Zhao knocked inch by inch, not even missing the paintings hanging on the walls, and he also broke apart the two scrolls for a look.

Sure enough, 25 pieces of 100 taels of silver bills were found in the interlayer of the cotton coat, and a hole was dug in the middle of the bed, and ten gold ingots were neatly placed inside, which added up to 100 taels.

Zhan Zhao sorted things out and searched carefully again, and found nothing missing, so he went to the next door to see how Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were doing.

The progress next door was similar to his, with the same 25 100 taels of silver bills and ten ingots, but they were not gold, but silver.

Looking at it this way, this eunuch of Concubine Jing may be the mastermind.

A few people tidied up their things and were about to go outside the palace when they saw a person walking from the opposite side.

Little prince, a little prince disguised as a man.

Seeing Zhan Zhao and the others approaching, Zhao Bijia was slightly taken aback, but after saying hello and seeing the things in their hands, he knew what they were here for.

Of course, the evidence found cannot be ostentatiously displayed in broad daylight. The items are all placed in boxes, but judging by the attitude of several people holding the box, there must be silver and other things inside.

Zhao Bijia smiled slightly, and asked seriously: "Is this what was found?"

Zhan Zhao subconsciously put on a charming smile, and said, "The little prince guessed right."

Unexpectedly, such a smile made Zhao Bijia rebellious in addition to her heartbeat, there is no reason to be kept by him... She shook her head in her heart, thankful that she had met several times, at least she could pretend to be calm .

"So much silver." Zhao Bijia shook his head and sighed, "The monthly silver of the eunuchs in the palace is only ten taels a month for the highest level."

Zhan Zhao subconsciously calculated that neither the eunuch guarding the gate nor the eunuch of Concubine Jing would be the tallest.But even at the highest count...

Two thousand five hundred taels of silver, and one hundred taels of gold ingots, converted to no less than three thousand five hundred taels.

The two eunuchs looked like they were in their early twenties. Did they have been eunuchs since their previous lives?

Thinking of this, Zhan Zhao smiled kindly at Zhao Bijia, "Thank you, little prince."

Zhao Bijia was secretly happy, but felt that Zhan Zhao made a foul.

That smile earlier made people's heart beat faster, but now this... makes people can't help but tell him everything.

Zhao Bijia coughed and said, "You don't need to be too polite as a guard, even if I don't tell you about the eunuch's moon silver, you can still find out."

"I still want to thank the little prince." After Zhan Zhao thanked him again, he said, "It's getting late, Zhan is going back to Kaifeng mansion now, and we will meet the little prince next time when we enter the palace."

Zhao Bijia was almost turned red by Zhan Zhao's serious words and expressions.

Standing next to the two of them, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu and others who witnessed the whole process were just as dumbfounded as Gongsun Ce earlier.

No wonder Zhan Zhao was able to be a fourth-rank guard with a knife in front of the imperial court. The two of them have entered the palace with Master Bao eighty times, if not a hundred times.

But Zhanwei is really awesome...

They dare not talk to the princess like that, and even laugh at the princess...

next time we meet...

hehe.
