Now that you have found out the real leader of Diting, you can start from the other party's personality and habitual style to reorganize all the clues and contexts. According to Shen Gui's preliminary judgment, although the huge ambush at Qingquan Tea House seemed to be aimed at him, the actual target was actually not himself at all.

The driving force behind this case was the more than 100 Huashen Sect believers who were responsible for showing their heads and spilling their blood in Fengjing, so they were forced to accept only their names. So with Guan Beidou's full understanding of his own strength, he will not pin the key to the overall plan on the extremely small probability event that the opponent will "capsize in the gutter"! Moreover, if Shen Gui was at his doorstep and could be successfully ambushed by dozens of fanatics with unclear brains, then Di Ting would not be worth working so hard for him.

Moreover, Guan Beidou believes that the reason why Shen Gui was able to escape death several times was because Li Xuanyu sacrificed his life and prayed for the spirit, descended the reincarnated demon star, and came with his own mission to bring disaster to the world, and he had heavenly luck; And Shen Gui believes that the reason why he can survive to this day is entirely because of the support of nobles at critical moments, coupled with the complicated and complicated tricks he has learned, and the little tricks to save his life are endless, and his mind is quite sober, completely relying on his own talent and sweat.

But whether it is the mission of the Heavenly Dao or personal efforts, Shen Gui's existence is indeed an unknown number for Guan Beidou, who is accustomed to observing the Heavenly Dao and controlling yin and yang, and it is also a huge hidden danger of the New World Plan. However, it was precisely because of Guan Beidou and Song Xingzhou's awe of the Mystical Heavenly Dao that Shen Gui was able to ignore the incomparably powerful opponent of the Heavenly Spirit Vein.

The Huashen Sect ambushed Shen Gui, but the target was not Shen Gui; In other words, the boss behind them must have other plans. From Guan Beidou's point of view, conjecture, with Shen Gui's character of revenge, no matter whether the Huashen Sect's ambush can be successful or not, Shen Gui will definitely lock on the enemy immediately and quickly launch a retaliatory action. Judging from the mind that Shen Gui had shown in the past, it was not difficult for him to think of the difficulty of the nearly 100 dead soldiers and swords sneaking into Fengjing City; Even if he scoffed at Yan Qinghong's possibility of eradicating dissidents, with the help of those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods on the rivers and lakes, as long as he followed the vine, he would soon find the Huashen Sect branch altar hidden in Huangyu Village in the eastern suburbs.

The water thieves of the Minjiang River who rushed to Haiying Island in Dengzhou City and were responsible for cutting off the sea surface have all been buried in the belly of the fish; But the person who made the shot was an old man, and because Shen Gui never showed up to make a move, he folded a Sheng Beichuan. Judging from the results of this incident alone, Di Ting can also judge Shen Gui's current situation from it: I am afraid that his internal breath and strength have been very seriously restricted.

In other words, even if he touched the Huangyu Village in the eastern suburbs, which is the shelter of the Huashen Sect, he would not be able to go to retaliate single-handedly, and he would inevitably bring a sentry officer and military horse as his helper!

In addition to the 2,000 city guards, only 3,000 Imperial Forest Army were left to guard the palace. As for the 100,000 Jinjia Army after the restructuring, although the camp is only a few dozen miles away from Fengjing; But Shen Gui had no personal friendship with the commander of the Golden Armor Forbidden Army, Anding Hou Yanping; In addition, the Imperial Forest Army is the old team of Taibai Wei, and his woman Li Le'an has saved Fang Junping's life, so it is reasonable, as long as Shen Gui transfers troops out of the city to take revenge, then he must be accompanied by the people and horses of the Royal Forest Army!

And the Qingquan Tea House in the afternoon had such a big deal; Whatever the facts, at least the 2,000 guards of the battalion will certainly not be able to escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty. Re-examining it from top to bottom is certainly an inevitable task. Then at least the team that will change the city defense tonight must not be the Golden Armor Army stationed dozens of miles away from the city, and it can still only be requisitioned from the Royal Forest Army.

After analyzing this, the ultimate goal of listening becomes very clear! They made such a big detour, and the ultimate goal was to disperse the three thousand Imperial Forest troops stationed at the four gates of the palace! In other words, their plot was not outside the city at all, but in the palace; And the ambush at the Qingquan Tea House was not a demonstration or an assassination, but a preliminary preparation for the beheading operation!

It can also be said that since the 2,000 city guards were all pressed to the prison of the Criminal Department for interrogation and investigation, and Fang Junping was ordered to take away 2,000 Imperial Forest Army guards to guard the capital, most of Di Ting's plan had been completed. They never dared to think that the panic and suspicion they had carefully created could turn the palace into an empty city; The result of leaving 800 defenders behind was unsatisfactory, but it was barely acceptable.

Of course, judging by the solidity of the palace walls, even if there are only 800 soldiers stationed in the palace, it is by no means a small problem that can be easily solved by relying on thousands or tens of thousands of horses. Without the assistance of those large siege equipment, the 800 defenders only need to put away the four drawbridges, and then no matter how many people listen to the city, they can only stand on the side of the moat and be helpless.

Therefore, according to Shen Gui's guess, I am afraid that Di Ting's last killer move is to develop a large number of internal responses in the palace in advance!

Xingping Emperor Yan Qinghong, from a prodigal son, to today's Ninety-Five, this way, can be described as a crisis, difficult steps; He also understands the horrors of eunuch interference more than anyone else.

In view of this, since he ascended the throne, he handed over all matters related to the purge of the harem to Empress Deng. First, the queen is the master of the harem in the world, and this purging of the harem atmosphere can be regarded as her scope of work; Second, among the groups that hate eunuchs the most in the world, Deng Li'er will definitely have a place among them. The blood feud of her biological father, General Deng Fang, is directly related to an old eunuch who accepted bribes.

Regarding this purge action, Yan Qinghong also personally drafted eight words as His Majesty's guiding opinions: Eliminate all evil, and be strict and speedy.

Today, under Empress Deng's thunderous means, the gray income channels of female officials in various palaces have been completely cut off.

Strictly speaking, Empress Deng did not intend to completely strangle all the external shutters of the inner prison from the source. Thousands of miles of officials are for food and clothing, not to mention that these people are willing to be disabled, and they will enter the palace and be enslaved by people because they need gold and silver. The reason why she is so resolute and uses high-pressure means is that she only intends to tighten first and then loosen, so that these inner prison gates, who are accustomed to eating fatty meat, can live a life of clear soup and little water for a few years; After getting used to it, she gradually relaxed her strength, and eventually maintained a level that was acceptable to both parties.

But this is only the direction of future development, and Empress Deng doesn't need to explain to anyone at all, and she doesn't need anyone's support. At present, the income level of internal prisoners, large and small, is far less than that of overstretched; Moreover, the future of "money" is still bleak, and there is no sign of improvement.

As the so-called son of heaven and courtiers, these internal prisoners have no Lu Xiangyin's old ancestor who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands into rain, so they could only compromise and accept it. However, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to frugality, these internal prisoners are not only accustomed to a lavish life, but also have parents and brothers at home who need him to continue to support; There are also many celebrities who were once favored, and they also bought a foreign house outside the palace, married a few concubines, and bought a few children! These things outside the body are not only the product of arrogance and indulgence, but also bring hope and warm spiritual comfort to their poor people. It's just that the price of this consolation is not low, and it requires a steady stream of silver to maintain the expenses.

Under such circumstances, the internal eunuchs who were already resentful of Empress Deng were naturally easily confused by gold and silver. Soon after, when the economic environment in the palace was facing collapse, several popular former internal supervisors of the former dynasty actually jointly founded a series of small businesses: there were gambling houses, tobacco houses, underground money houses, and so on......

This is obviously the usual means used by Di Ting to control people's hearts. Gambling debts, loans, smoking addictions, favors...... None of these is enough to crush the backbone of an iron-blooded tough guy, let alone those eunuchs whose willpower is not firm in the first place?

It didn't take long for eighty percent of the internal supervisors and forty percent of the female officials in the palace to embark on the thief ship in a daze, except for some people who had experienced the rise and fall of several dynasties!

Almost free hibiscus cream, interest-free private loans, and gambling debts with unlimited account numbers have actually been secretly marked. And today's somewhat special night is the deadline for these large and small internal supervisors to repay their debts......

The change of people's hearts is a weakness that no one can absolutely control, and the most powerful weapon for attacking the city is also the internal response. This is also true for the extremely strong Fengjing Imperial City.

Since Shen Gui decided that the real purpose of Di Ting was Yan Qinghong in the Fengjing Imperial Palace; Then the centaurs who can effectively kill him are only the inner eunuchs and palace maids who can guess.

In the Fengjing Imperial Palace tonight, there are still 800 imperial forest troops stationed on the city wall. Although the inner and outer palaces are far apart, those 800 pairs of eyes are on the city wall, and it is easy to find the movement of a large number of inner prisons gathering. Therefore, according to Shen Gui's judgment, since the internal supervision has an incident, it is inevitable to assemble in advance; Then it will not arouse the suspicion of the Royal Foresters, and the only way to do it is to disguise itself as a gathering of people to gamble in the past.

Shen Gui's first stop was not only out of the public intention of seeking truth from facts, but also with some personal feelings of his children. Unexpectedly, tonight's luck was not bad, he actually found eight neat and large wooden boxes on the third floor of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion!

Reaching out to open the lid of the box, the cold glow of the blade almost blinded Shen Gui's eyes!

With these hundreds of bright steel knives, Di Ting's conjecture of intending to assassinate Emperor Xingping also has ironclad evidence. At that time, there was no one in the Yanyu Pavilion, so Shen Gui could lie on the beam of the front hall in a big way, and wait for the rabbit in a down-to-earth manner!
