Hearing that Duan's father-in-law had an accident, Minglan immediately glanced at Gu Yunjin, and was led by the little eunuch who reported the incident, leading the people from the West Factory to go straight to the celebrant eunuch.

On the way, Minglan listened to the little eunuch explain the incident clearly.

A few days ago, in the middle of the night, a palace suddenly jumped into the lotus pond of Xianghe Garden.

When the officials laboriously salvaged the person from the bottom of the lake, they found that she was out of breath. After verification, it was learned that the deceased was Caiping from the Shanggong Bureau.

When the people of the Shanggong Bureau were sorting out her belongings in the house, they found a suicide note from under her bed pillow.

On it, it stated that Caiping was favored by Duan Shaochun, the supervisor of the inner chamberlain, and threatened to be insulted by him.

Before and after the incident, it was the day when the palace attendants met with their families, and Caiping's brother stood under the Shenwu Gate for a few days, but he did not see his sister's figure.

In the end, he waited for Caiping's death from the epidemic, along with a bag of her relics and a bone plant jar containing her ashes.

Later, I don't know who handed over the truth of Caiping's suicide to Caiping's brother along with her suicide note.

That man was originally a butcher, and he was a rough man. Early the next morning after learning the truth, people made a fuss outside the Shenwu Gate.

Leng Qingtang had just been reinstated as the master of ceremonies, and when he learned of this, he launched a large-scale raid in the twelve prisons of the palace.

The purpose is to eliminate those misconduct in the inner garden of the palace, and to disrupt the palace and the palace e, so as to correct the rules of the palace.

The 12 eunuchs of the Dayi Imperial Palace, namely the celebrant eunuch, the chamberlain eunuch, the imperial eunuch, the imperial horse eunuch, the divine palace eunuch, and the metropolitan governor, are in charge of serving the emperor and the family.

At the moment when Minglan entered the Weiyan Pavilion, the celebrant was taking people on a large scale.

After that, they escorted a group of criminals and took them all to the backyard of the celebrant to wait for the palm print Leng Qingtang to be released.

Minglan and his subordinates rushed into the main hall of the celebrant supervisor.

It's as always here, it's surprisingly quiet.

It was such an eerie silence that made Minglan and the others feel enveloped by an extremely oppressive coldness and murderous aura as soon as they stepped into the door.

In this terrifying atmosphere like a netherworld hell, Minglan was a little unable to move.

Standing still, he could only feel his temples beating in a panic between his dull temples, and then the skin around his body tightened, and the hairs stood on end.

The person who stayed in the main hall of the celebrant was the newly appointed Liu Bingbi, and naturally he was also a confidant of Leng Qingtang in the palace.

Seeing Minglan's nervous and abnormal appearance, Liu Bingbi got up from the chair to salute, his bruised lips pulled up a smile line, and his eyes were secretly pressed with a chill, as if he was waiting for Minglan and his people to arrive.

Minglan didn't pay attention to Liu Bingbi, and didn't snort at him, so he swept away with his subordinates in the back hall, like fighting a wolf.

The celebrant's chamber is in the back hall. The riot room is a separate room in the palace used to punish the palace attendants who commit crimes.

The residences of the twelve eunuchs of the palace and the concubines of the harem all have violent rooms.

The room space does not need to be too large, it is a house with doors and no windows. The inside has been impermeable and dark for many years, and there are all kinds of cruel and bloody punishments and detentions.

When Minglan arrived in the backyard, he saw that the outer part of the courtyard was surrounded by the master of ceremonies and the guards of the East Factory, and the black circle was full of people, so that his sight could not reach the encirclement.

However, when people arrive here, they can also hear the crying of their father and mother coming from the encirclement.

Minglan made a look, and the little eunuchs who came with him immediately stepped forward, separated the crowd in the encirclement, and escorted their overseer in.

In the middle of the courtyard were nearly a hundred criminals who were taken down by the celebrant supervisor, most of them were chamberlains, and there were also a few palace laves.

Among them, more than a dozen were already lying on the benches set up on the opposite side with their backs to the sky, and the eunuchs in charge of the ceremonial eunuchs held large red lacquered wooden sticks with thick bowls, and stood aside with solemn expressions, waiting for the palm prints to give orders.

At noon, there was a round of golden crows in the blue sky. When the fire is vicious, the scorching light is magnificent, scorching the blue brick floor without an inch of shade, and the white flowers are so shakable that people don't want to open their eyes.

"Godfather! Godfather, I'm here."

Probably smelling the familiar fragrance of apricot blossom powder, a person lying on the bench broke his throat and shouted, trying to straighten his slender neck, looking east and west with his head uncontrollably, and looking terrified in the crowd of people.

Minglan was immediately angry, took three steps and made two steps, and quickly rushed to the man.

The eunuch on the bench was in his early twenties, with fine skin and tender flesh, and fine facial features

He has been stripped of his robe, taken off his official hat, and stripped off his pants to await punishment.

This person is the godson recognized by Minglan in the palace, and he is also the fuse that caused the 12 prison censors, the perpetrator mentioned in the suicide note of Gong E, Duan Shaochun.

Seeing that the life-saving straw-like figure was in front of him, Duan's father-in-law, who was sweating profusely, suddenly had bright eyes, and he grabbed Minglan with both hands, his expression was excited.

"Godfather, godfather, save me! Don't let Grandpa Leng beat me, he'll kill me."

The eunuch next to him came over and knocked Duan's father-in-law's hand dancing in the air.

Seeing this, Ming Lan's face was gloomy, his sound right hand was clenched into an iron fist in his wide sleeve, he bent down to Duan's father-in-law, and asked in a low voice:

"Joke, what the hell is going on? You've always been meticulous, and this time you've been so careless! ”

Duan's lips trembled, he grinned and cried half-frightened, and sobbed:

"Caiping, you know, she and I are already on good terms, and I am her with her consent.

But I don't know why she suddenly can't think about it, and she wants to die and want to get involved with me! Whining...... Godfather, you want to save me! Godfather, I don't want to be beaten to death! ”

It didn't matter if Duan's father-in-law cried, the other attendants who were waiting to be sentenced, kneeling on the ground, on the chair, and all the attendants Gong'e, followed his example and cried loudly and begged Minglan.

For a while, there was a howl in the wide backyard, and the miserable sound made Minglan's heart tremble, his body stiffened, and his face was pale again.

Although this Xichang factory duke is a eunuch with broken roots, he has received a lot of disciples in the palace.

And if you really want to be served by Leng Qingtang now, the casualties will be heavy.

I see!

Minglan suddenly understood that this time the Twelve Supervisors copied and inspected the action, and it seemed that the master of ceremonies took the lead in upholding the rules and regulations of the palace, but in fact, it was to clear the eyeliner buried in the palace by the West Factory!

Thinking that Minglan came from the inner chamberlain, and was later promoted to the second rank by the eunuch in charge of the third grade of Yongning Palace, he left the palace to serve in the West Factory.

If the palace supervisors do not set up eyeliners, it will not be possible to maintain the exchange of information between the West Factory and the inner garden of the palace.

No one provided information in the palace in time, and he, the admiral of Xichang who was outside the palace, could not accurately figure out the holy will and grasp the latest news of the palace concubines.

It is not difficult to imagine that Leng Qingtang has just reinstated his power and took many Xichang informants with "copying and inspection", which is to turn the commander of Xichang into a living blind man!

As for Duan Shaochun's case, it is not difficult to understand.

As long as Leng Qingtang moved his mouth, someone would take Caiping away for him, and after taking the drug, he would sink the person directly into the lotus pond.

Zuo but that Gong E is also one of Minglan's informants, forged a suicide note, and then sent someone to report to Caiping's family, secretly helping her family to make trouble, and the celebrant and supervisor Leng Qingtang pushed the boat down the river to calm the matter, leading to the reason for the purge......

If they want to do such a thing and set up blame, wouldn't they be able to catch it?

The deeper he thought, the more angry Minglan became, straightened up angrily, strode the meteor to the north room, and stopped under the porch.

Under the corridor, on the left and right, there were other eleven eunuchs with palm prints and eunuchs, all of whom lowered their heads, as if they had been deterred by the momentum of the celebrant and the eunuch, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to take a deep breath.

Leng Qingtang leaned on the red sandalwood Taishi chair in the center, placed his plain white five fingers on the armrest of the curved unicorn head, and tapped it gently.

That elegant and leisurely state, completely after a full meal, waiting for an impromptu entertainment program, relaxed.

He was covered with a blue admiral robe, and the python with its sinuous body on his chest opened its teeth and claws, and the majestic deterrent power seemed to be a little incompatible with his leisurely and casual appearance at this time.

Seeing Minglan coming, Leng Qingtang's upper body leaned forward slightly, obliquely picked the tail of his narrow eyes, and his thin lips lightly pulled out a cold smile.

Minglan stopped at the foot of the cloud steps and stood upright, with a number of imposing eunuchs on both sides and behind him, who were looking around coldly, vigilantly protecting their factory fathers.

Suddenly, the four eyes were facing each other, and the clear phoenix eyes were facing the glamorous peach blossom eyes.

The two men above and below the cloud platform and the commanders of the two factories, one was smiling and the other was frowning.

One is Langhua's handsome, elegant posture like the wind, and the other has a soft and charming appearance.

The surrounding atmosphere instantly became fierce because of the confrontation at the moment, which made everyone on the left and right of the corridor silent.

After the spring banquet in March, the commander of the east and west factories

never met again, and now the two meet again, it is on such occasions.

Who doesn't know that the two of them have long had a discord, and it seems that the two admirals have very different attitudes towards those internal officials who have committed crimes.

One wants to be punished, the other wants to stop, and the two of them are here and now, and the needle is full of strength.

As a result, there was no shortage of good deeds among the leaders of the twelve prisons standing under the corridor.

They don't say anything, but in their hearts they are longing for a lively happening, but let's see what these two factory fathers who have never been in harmony with each other can pinch in a while.

Minglan stood in front of the corridor for a long time, and when he saw that Leng Qingtang was silent, he just looked at him if he was smiling or not, and suddenly his heart was on fire, and he clenched his fists and asked in a hard voice:

"Lord Leng, what do you mean by this?"

Leng Qingtang smiled lightly, and raised his eyebrows slightly:

"What does this governor mean, didn't Lord Ming ask Duan Shaochun just now? This person is not in a good manner, in addition to gathering people to gamble in the duty room, stealing items in the palace and selling them in the market, his fornication ~ chaos in the palace, forcing the palace maid to throw herself into the lake to death is even worse.

In order to comfort the souls of the deceased in heaven and to appease their families, the Governor is now brought to justice in accordance with the rules of the palace. ”

"Justice?"

Minglan snorted and squinted his eyes gloomily.

Leng Qingtang said it in a high-sounding manner, and his hidden purpose was to tell people, do you really think that others don't know?

I wanted to have a seizure on the spot, but my own dry child was still in the hands of others. If Minglan wanted to save people, he had to temporarily lower his posture.

It is said that this period of Shaochun is about the same age as Minglan, and the reason why he recognized Minglan as his godfather at that time was that he took a fancy to him as an errand man in the palace of the Ten Thousand Emperors, and he intended to stammer.

And he is clever and exquisite. He and more than a dozen of his subordinates are the most powerful backbone of Xichang's eyeliner in the palace.

If he can't save the rest of the dozens of people, how can he save Duan Shaochun and his subordinates!

Minglan secretly speculated to himself, lost the joke and his subordinates, and now he is in danger, without the favor of the princess, and without his most important informant, he really won't have anything left in the palace in the future

Minglan's tense complexion relaxed slightly, and he chose to endure for a while, his eyes darkened and looked at Leng Qingtang above the gimbal, and said slowly:

"There are still doubts about the palace maid's throwing into the lake, and I hope that Lord Leng will investigate it carefully. During this period, can the perpetrators be grounded first, and then the incident can be clarified? ”

Leng Qingtang's expression was faint:

"What else to check? Gong E's testament is clearly written. If you want to investigate carefully, the governor is also afraid that such incidents will happen again in the palace inner garden, and has carried out a large-scale inspection in the 12th prison.

A total of 94 violators of palace rules were arrested and more than 100 pickled items were found.

Now that the Lord of the Ming Governor is standing in front of the Governor and then talking about the detailed investigation, the Lord of the Ming Governor really doesn't know, what else does the Lord of the Ming Governor want to investigate? ”

Minglan's eyes froze, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Leng Qingtang's few words were like a sudden slap in the face, hitting Minglan hard.

Minglan's fingertips moved slightly, and he repeatedly suppressed the manic qi in the five, without beating around the bush, and bluntly begged in a consultative tone:

"Lord Leng, can you give this governor a face, and temporarily let go of Duan Shaochun and the thirteen people in the inner prison?"

Leng Qingtang withdrew half of his forward leaning body and leaned back against the half-height back of the Taishi chair.

"Face? Is it up to you? ”

A cruel smile was hidden in his mouth, Leng Qingtang looked directly at Minglan's secretly anxious eyes, and the cool words were like sharp cold wind, which blew into Minglan's body in an instant, ruthlessly penetrating his heart:

"How can you not know how much face you have?"

Sheng Sheng was choked by Leng Qingtang's sarcastic words and took a step back, and his peach blossom eyes widened.

How could he forget?

The sentence just now was originally the words that I went to Dongchang to make trouble some time ago, and I scolded thousands of households.

Now Leng Qingtang actually returned to him what he had said word for word, and his intention was extremely obvious:

Leng Qingtang, who had regained the power of the chief chamberlain of the palace, wanted to take revenge on him and his Xichang......
