Chapter 127: True and False Jade Seals
Zhao Zhen walked out angrily, but his angry expression did not represent his heart, and it was very unhappy for anyone's home to be surrounded by others, not to mention the prince, of course, he had to pretend to be angry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But when he saw Chen Lin standing outside the gate of the East Palace with people facing outward, he was embarrassed, and the anger that had finally accumulated poured out for thousands of miles, and everyone turned their backs to the East Palace, which is the encirclement, this is defense!
Zhao Zhen glared at Sancai angrily and said, "This is called surrounding the East Palace?" This is obviously to defend the East Palace, is it good! ”
Sancai said aggrievedly: "I only saw Chen Daguan leading people to surround the East Palace......"
Peng Qi on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Zhao Zhen glared at him depressedly and walked towards Chen Lin, this old man's eyes were firmly fixed on him when he appeared, like an old cat staring at a little mouse.
"Daguan Chen, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly bring people to surround the lonely East Palace! Zhao Zhen, who was already embarrassed in his heart, did not have a trace of gunpowder even if he said angry words.
Chen Lin smiled, and the prince's words hit his heart: "The old slave didn't surround His Highness's East Palace, these people are all here to guard, hasn't His Highness heard about the jade seal of the country?" ”
"Of course I've heard about it, even in the lonely East Palace, there are still people who spread this story!" Zhao Zhen replied affirmatively, at this time, if you want to say that you haven't heard of it, I'm afraid that you don't even believe the three talents on the side.
"The old slave came this time because the drunk man entered the Donghua Gate and wandered into His Highness's East Palace!"
Zhao Zhen and Sancai instantly became shocked, only Peng Qi was still standing in a daze, Zhao Zhen had the heart to strangle him, fortunately, he reacted and screamed and ran towards the East Palace, his mouth interrupted: "The thief and the bird actually dare to go to the East Palace to make trouble, do you want to frame the prince?" See if I don't cramp and peel you! ”
Winner! This is the actor, the confusion at the beginning shows that his brain is slow to react, and the subsequent outburst shows his anger, this is the real honest Peng Qi, his performance in front of him seems clumsy and outrageous, and what makes people even more angry is that Chen Lin actually shook his head and sighed: "Peng Qi's brain!" It's just a fool. ”
I don't know if his words are a compliment or belittlement of Peng Qi.
Chen Lin did not doubt him, and frowned under Zhao Zhen's questioning: "Today, I blocked the thief in Jitou Alley, who knew that he had done a good job, and he couldn't find it after a few moves, but later this gangster was targeted by Huo Laoqi of Kaifeng Mansion, and he fled straight to Donghua Gate and entered the East Palace." ”
"This thief is dizzy, where do you have to enter Donghua Gate? Isn't this looking for death? Dare to come to the lonely East Palace! ”
Chen Lin sighed helplessly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously didn't believe him, but what could the thief do if he broke into the East Palace: "Your Highness, the forbidden army of Donghua Gate was changing the guard at that time, this is the rule you set, you forgot?" And he can't go anywhere else, the Imperial City Division has already closed the net, and he has nowhere to run. ”
"Eh~ You mean it's weird?!"
Looking at the prince Chen Lin, who was about to mess around, was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, His Royal Highness was benevolent and filial piety in the past, and he looked like a good student in front of the ministers, but he always didn't speak well in front of himself, which was really a headache.
But he didn't think about why, in Zhao Zhen's eyes, Chen Lin was an out-and-out old fox, and he had learned a lot of things from him, which could be regarded as treating others in his own way.
"After all, it's just a hairy thief, you take the people of the Imperial City Division to guard, and Peng Qi will be able to arrest that hairy thief in a while!"
Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang ~ There was a crackling sound, like rain hitting plantains, and like fried beans in a hot pot, Chen Lin instinctively trembled after hearing the sound, which was impossible in the eyes of the officials of the Imperial City Division, and he even thought that he was wrong.
"Could it be that His Highness's East Palace has already begun to equip the guards with flint guns?" Chen Lin asked with an ugly face.
He had seen the prince's flintlock pistol, and even a master of the inner family like him didn't dare to say that he could dodge it, the speed was too fast! Judging from the sound, there was the sound of at least thirty guns just now, and the thief was afraid that he had already been plugged, but what he didn't know was that the flintlock pistol belonged to a smoothbore musket, and the accuracy was sometimes not as high as that of a crossbow arrow, and it was just to divert the attention of others.
Zhao Zhen looked at the rising smoke and said to Chen Lin on the side with a smile: "This flintlock pistol is still very useful at close range, don't think about it if it's far away, it's still a reliable crossbow arrow." ”
"Eh~ In the old man's opinion, this flintlock pistol is much more interesting than the national seal."
"No wonder you keep drilling into the Ordnance Division, and it turns out that you are going for the musket?"
"But the cost of this musket is too high, a gun costs thirty times, that's 30,000 yuan!"
Zhao Zhen shrugged his shoulders: "No way, labor, materials, maintenance, all have to burn money, none of which can be reduced, now the method of assembly operation is much better than before, reducing labor." But there are too few good steels, and the cost of 100 steels can be used as a gun barrel......"
Chen Lin was said to be one or two big, and he was not familiar with these things, and the prince was still buzzing in his ears, and he couldn't stand it: "Your Highness still thinks about what to do if Peng Qi catches that thief?" ”
"Of course, it's governed by law." Zhao Zhen said indifferently.
"Your Highness has taken it for granted, what should I do if the heirloom jade seal in the hands of this thief is really there? Why did this thief break into the East Palace? Chen Lin's series of questions are all nonsense in Zhao Zhen's opinion.
"What else can I do, if it is a real jade seal, it will be handed over to the official family, if it is fake, it means that someone wants to frame the orphan, it's as simple as that!"
Facing the prince's answer, Chen Lin nodded, it is true, His Royal Highness hit the nail on the head and said the key to the problem.
At this time, Peng Qi hurriedly ran out, and Zhao Zhen saw the panic and fear on his face that should not have appeared, "His Royal Highness the Prince, that thief has been killed by our guards, this is the jade seal found from his body!" ”
Looking at the "heirloom jade seal" Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin who Peng Qi raised and looked at each other blankly, judging from the descriptions of Huo Laoqi and the ministers, the heirloom jade seal in front of him is likely to be fake!
Zhao Zhen's heart was already turbulent, he didn't expect that there were really snitches of unknown origin in the East Palace, could it be that the gunshot just now was really killing the snitch?! When he looked at Peng Qi, the cargo blinked alarmedly.
Chen Lin looked at the bloodstained "Jade Seal of the Country" and asked Peng Qi, "Where is the body of the thief?" ”
"It's been taken in by the prince's three guards, does Daguan Chen want it? Then ask the brother of the Imperial City Division to go to the Sanwei Yamen to receive the corpse. ”
Chen Lin glanced at Peng Qi and said, "The whereabouts of this thief must be found, the old slave believes that Kaifeng Mansion is the most suitable, do you say yes, His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"Then according to what Senior Official Chen said, hand over the thief's body to Kaifeng Mansion, and order Ma Yuanfang to find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Chen Lin nodded with satisfaction and left with his minions, and Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief at this time: "What's the matter?" Why is there really a snitch in the lonely East Palace? ”
Peng Qi was speechless, the East Palace was heavily guarded, and no snitch would never be able to break through the two checkpoints of Donghua Gate and East Palace Gate and sneak in: "Doesn't Your Highness think things are strange?" Not long after I played the snitch and released the news, another snitch appeared, does this mean that another person who knows the jade seal of the country is planting His Highness? ”
"It seems that this virtuous concubine can't sit still!"
