"Your Majesty, you don't have to be tortured, the old slave will naturally say everything if he knows something. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Something like this happened today, and the Hook and Shield Bureau can't escape the blame. If it is true that the old slave is not strictly managed, so that his subordinates are careless or have bad intentions and have an accident, the old slave will be the first to receive death. ”

The main hall of the court bureau is open to the west, and there is no sunlight all day. Although the doors and windows had been opened to welcome Zhao Yuan's arrival, the dampness and gloom inside had not decreased much.

Na Rong, the eunuch in charge of the Hook and Shield Bureau, knelt on the cold bluestone floor and replied unhurriedly. The eunuch's silk hat had been removed from his head, revealing the gray and messy hair inside.

Narong's complexion was dark, and the wrinkles on his face were like those carved with an axe and machete. The hands lying on the ground are thick joints, and the fingertips and bones are covered with calluses.

This is an old craftsman who has worked all his life in Hanyang Palace.

Zhao Yuan sat on the dragon chair, looked at him coldly, and groaned.

"Now, everyone who participated in the competition has been checked, and no one has had the opportunity to do anything on the pole of the unicorn boat. The tread rod was installed in your hook and shield round......"

"You deserve to die." Zhao Yuan said this without any emotion. Those who know him know that this situation is the most dangerous, which shows that he is really murderous.

Of course, Na Rong, who has been on an errand in the palace for many years, also understands, he only feels a chill in his back, and his face involuntarily darkens.

But he still tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and said calmly: "Killing the old slave is just a matter of falling with a knife. But in the end, who wants to harm Ruiwang has not yet been clarified, and he has not figured out which link went wrong. ”

"The old slave just wants to do his best for the emperor before he dies and find out the real murderer behind the scenes!"

Zhao Yuan looked at him and seemed a little impatient: "How do you want to check?" ”

Na Rong heard the emperor's words, and knew that he still had a glimmer of life, so he hurriedly said: "Every piece of raw materials used in this boat race, the source and source of each component, and the Hook and Shield Bureau have made detailed records. ”

"The old slave is willing to go to the unicorn ship to check in detail and find out the reason for the broken rod."

Zhao Yuan stared at Na Rong closely, analyzing in his heart how likely he was to be the real murderer behind the scenes. The result of the analysis was that Narong had no reason to kill King Rui.

For he himself will not receive anything from the death of King Rui. Moreover, he has been in the palace for many years, and he has no contact with the outside of the palace, so it is impossible for him to do stupid things because his relatives are threatened.

Therefore, if someone is sent to the scene to investigate, it is indeed only Narong who is the most suitable.

So without further ado, Zhao Yuan tapped the bookcase with his hand: "Go quickly, go back quickly!" ”

Na Rong thanked him, got up from the ground, and was followed by two guards with knives to the Heavenly Abyss Pool.

There was no one to be tried, and the court bureau was suddenly so quiet that it made people panic.

A trace of loneliness passed over Zhao Yuan's face, he closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows with his knuckles.

Liu Fuquan saw it really from the side, he was afraid that Zhao Yuan would fall asleep and didn't dare to speak. After looking at it for a while, he found that the emperor was just closing his eyes to recuperate, so he said softly: "Your Majesty, it's better to go back to Changxin Hall and rest." ”

Zhao Yuan didn't talk.

Liu Fuquan was bold and said, "You came here directly from Tianyuan Pool, and you have been busy for several hours. There is no food and no rest, how can the body eat? ”

Zhao Yuan opened his eyes and looked at him with some scorn.

Liu Fuquan knew that the emperor thought he was nagging, so he took his voice and hid aside.

Zhao Yuan did feel very tired, but this tiredness not only came from his body, but also from the depths of his heart.

The reason why he was reluctant to return to Changxin Hall now was because he knew that Concubine Chen would definitely send An Ji to wait there with a list of medicines.

An Ji will also cry and tell the ground, how anxious Concubine Chen is at the moment, what medicine she takes will not work.

Unless the real culprit is caught, Concubine Chen will always be frightened, and she is afraid that she will not be able to get better......

It won't be long before Qu Jun will appear outside the Changxin Hall with exquisite pastries or soups.

This old eunuch is the best at observing words and feelings, and he is bent to welcome him. Whether it is a side knock or a stitch, he will definitely try his best to find out some news for the queen.

And Zhao Yuan at this time, although his heart is like a mirror, he can only pretend to be unaware. Staring at these two women in front of him, you go back and forth secretly to make moves, and the moves will lead to the death of the other party.

At this time, Zhao Yuan felt very sad in his heart.

Although he can't say how much he loves these two women, they have lived together for almost twenty years. They are all close relatives of Zhao Yuan, there is no doubt about this.

What's even more terrifying is that there are two teenagers hidden behind the two of them, both of whom are Zhao Yuan's biological flesh and blood......

Every time he thought of this, Zhao Yuan felt that a big stone was pressed in his heart. At this moment, he only hopes that things don't go in the worst direction......

However...... Reality is often the word that comes up when you least want it.

I don't know how long it took, but there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the temple, and Narong walked up to the temple in two steps. It seems that his survey has achieved significant results.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has carefully inspected the treadmill. It was found that the third mortise and tenon joint on the tread rod had been broken. Narong said as he handed over the broken mortise and tenon with both hands. Please take a look at the emperor. ”

Zhao Yuan looked at the mortise and tenon pieces in his hand, and his expression became a little complicated: "Shouldn't all mortise and tenon joints be made of solid logs?" Why is this hollow? ”

Na Rong replied: "The emperor is clear." This mortise and tenon joint is not only hollow, but it is also installed at the very bottom of the entire rod head. That is to say, whether Rui Wang stepped on this mortise and tenon joint or not, the gravity it reported was the largest. ”

"Oh." Zhao Yuan sneered: "So someone is planning to kill King Rui?" ”

"It's not clear yet. The old slave didn't dare to jump to conclusions, but judging from the current situation, this was certainly not an accident. Narong said with a serious expression.

Zhao Yuan had already realized something, and he didn't want to let the matter go any further. So he waved his hand: "Don't say such things too soon......"

Who knew that Na Rong's temper was very stubborn, he raised his head and straightened his back and said: "Your Majesty, today's matter, even if the old slave takes his life, he must make it clear." ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the Hook and Shield Bureau. This is not only related to the reputation of hundreds of people up and down the Hook and Shield Bureau, but more importantly, it is related to the innocence of the Hook and Shield Bureau for a hundred years. ”

"As soon as the old slave entered the palace, he was assigned to the Hook and Shield Bureau, and his life's work was here, and he must not be allowed to carry this black cauldron. Moreover, it is also the responsibility of the boss to maintain the reputation of the Hook and Shield Bureau! ”

Zhao Yuan's words meant that he wanted to lead this matter from public interrogation to private interrogation, but he didn't expect to be sternly rejected by this old man Narong.

Zhao Yuan wanted him to find a step for himself, but he didn't expect that Na Rong not only didn't give it, but went up directly and withdrew the ladder.

There was no way, Zhao Yuan was now riding a tiger, so he had to say in a tone as cold as ice: "Why are you so sure that the Hook and Shield Bureau has nothing to do with this matter?" ”
