Yue Su's request is somewhat unreasonable, even if you are an official, but this is the palace after all, and there is no reason for you to let you see whoever you see. A trace of anger flashed on King Zhou's face, and he said with some displeasure: "Lord Yue, this is inevitably unseemly. ”

Yue Su smiled and said, "Lord Wang, the lower officials also know that such a request is indeed unorthodox. But the lower official is also helpless, in case what the prince says is not true, there is a prince who is not in the house at the moment, goes out of the city without authorization, and has a right and wrong outside, and the lower official can't afford it. ”

"This ......" Yue Su's words directly choked King Zhou. Now he oppresses people with a big hat, and you can't show him your son unless you take him out. If you push it again, he will definitely say that you will deliberately hide it, and your son will not be at home, and they will all go out of the city.

King Zhou was angry that the roots of his teeth were itching, but he had no choice but to say: "Come on, call several princes." ”

"Yes." A eunuch agreed, and immediately ran down to the palace and summoned several princes.

After a while, three princes walked up to the main hall, these three princes, the eldest can be in his early thirties, and the younger can be twelve or thirteen years old, Yue Su glanced at it and said: "Lord, didn't you say that there are four princes, why only three came, I don't know where the other one is now?" Do you say ......"

King Zhou hurriedly said: "The son of the lonely king was riding a horse in the racecourse a few days ago, and accidentally fell off the horse, and now he is injured, and he can't get up from the bed." If you want to see it, wait for the lonely king to order someone to lead the adult there. ”

"Oops......" Yue Su deliberately exclaimed and said, "I don't know if Shizi's injury is serious, when did he fall and get injured?" ”

"It's just a bone injury, the injury is not serious, it is not light, young man, it's okay to take a beating. The specific date, the lonely king can't remember clearly, it should be the first day of October. King Zhou said.

Okay, on the first day of October, the case that happened outside the city was so coincidental, and this son of yours was also injured on the first day of October. And he was injured by falling off the horse. You said it was at the hippodrome of the palace, but I can't see it.

Yue Su thought so in his heart, and said: "This is too careless, what are those guards doing to eat, the prince must punish him severely." ”

"Of course you have to punish, and the lone king was angry and killed them all." King Zhou said angrily.

You're amazing. Hearing this, Yue Su was angry in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

The prince himself has a family law, and he executes some of the guards in the house, which no one can control. This time, it is also difficult to find a witness.

Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Wang, since there is no prince in the palace who goes out of the city without permission, the lower officials are also relieved. However, he had heard the news that the prince was injured after falling from a horse, and there was no reason not to visit him, so he asked the prince to show the way and visit the officials himself. ”

King Zhou was even more annoyed when he saw that Yue Su was immortal when he didn't reach the Yellow River, but Yue Su said politely, and he couldn't find anything wrong, so he had to nod and say: "Zhao Wen, you will lead the way for Lord Yue, and visit the palace of the deceased son." ”

"Yes, lord." Zhao Wen was the confidant eunuch of King Zhou, and after receiving the order, he came to Yue Su and said politely: "Lord Yue, please." ”

Yue Su stood up and smiled, and said, "Then there will be labor." After speaking, he rushed up and said, "Lord Wang, then the lower official will retire first." ”

King Zhou waved his hand, "Lord Yue, please." ”

When Yue Su and Zhao Wen went down to the palace, King Zhou patted the handrail angrily, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you Yue Su, you are really pampered and arrogant, and you are too deceitful, didn't my son kill someone in the suburbs, and he needed to be so excited." Hum! ”

At this time, there were three little princes standing in the palace, and the three of them were so frightened that they trembled when they saw their father angry. The eldest second prince asked weakly, "I wonder why my father summoned me to come?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go down." King Zhou waved his hand impatiently and sent his three sons away.

After the three princes went down, the second prince beckoned to the eunuch, beckoned him over, and asked, "Do you know what happened to my father and the king?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”

Seeing his panicked expression, the second prince thought that he should know, but now that he had two younger brothers by his side, it was inconvenient to ask, so he left with his younger brother. The three of them each have a dormitory, and halfway through, they parted ways. Seeing the two younger brothers leaving, the second prince stopped and said to the old eunuch who was accompanying him: "Chen Companion, I think something unusual must have happened when my father called us over today, what do you see?" ”

"Back to the little prince's words, the old slave also thinks so. It's just that we're in the back, and we don't know what's going on in front of us. Chen Gonggong said.

"I see that the eunuch on duty just now seems to know something, the father-in-law in the house, you are familiar with it, you can inquire on my behalf and see what happened." As he spoke, the second prince touched it in his arms, took out a few gold leaves and stuffed them into Gonggong Chen's hands.

Gonggong Chen nodded slightly and said, "The old slave understands. ”

After speaking, Gonggong Chen turned around and walked in the direction of Yin'an Palace. When he came to the bottom of the steps, he stretched out his hand to greet the eunuch on duty just now, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Gonggong Chen, what is the matter with you greeting the little one?" ”

The eunuchs in the palace also have ranks, and the biggest ones are naturally the ones who serve the prince and are also the chief eunuchs in the palace. The second is some eunuchs with functions, and then there are those who serve several princes, among which the eunuch who serves the prince has the highest status, and is the future chief eunuch, second only to the one who serves the prince now.

Gonggong Chen's status is not very high, but it is also higher than that of the eunuch, he didn't speak at first, just led the person aside, and then took out the gold leaf, stuffed it into the other party's hand, and whispered: "This is the second prince's reward for you." ”

The little eunuch was startled when he saw the gold, and hurriedly said, "This ...... This...... How does this make ......"

"If you are told to take it, you will take it." Gonggong Chen said lightly.

"Then I...... I thanked the second prince and Chen Gonggong...... "Eunuchs are greedy for money, and they know that there is probably something famous in it, but they can't help the temptation, and they still put it in their arms."

When Gonggong Chen saw that he had accepted it, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked in a low voice: "Who is that first-class official just now, I don't know what happened to the mansion, why did the prince ask several princes to be recruited, but when people came, they had nothing to say." ”

"This ......" The little eunuch hesitated, thinking about the gold in his arms, and finally lowered his voice and said: "That first-class master is the new governor 'Yue Shaved Head', he came to the mansion to check if any prince went out of the city without permission. ”

"Oh......" Gonggong Chen nodded, and said, "Which prince did that go out of the city without permission?" ”

"This ......" the little eunuch's face showed embarrassment, "I don't know ...... very well"

"You don't have to answer for sure, just say what you know." Gonggong Chen said lightly.

"It's probably the prince. Didn't the prince fall off the horse and get injured, there was no movement at first, but the day before yesterday, the prince suddenly ordered that all the prince's servants be executed, on the grounds that the guard was not effective, causing the prince to fall off the horse and be injured. The little eunuch said truthfully. When he said this, his voice was lower.

"I see." Gonggong Chen nodded again, and asked again: "Are all the people who accompanied Shizi out of the city dead?" ”

"I don't know what this little one is."

"Alright, you go back to work. If we ask you, don't mention it to anyone, you know. Gonggong Chen instructed.

"Don't worry, father-in-law, the little one will never tell anyone." For the sake of the golden leaf in his arms, it is impossible for the little eunuch to tell others.

Gonggong Chen turned to leave, and halfway through, he suddenly remembered something. That is, Zhu Gongfang likes to run horses, but he will find an opponent, he used to play with that person in the racecourse, and then he often went to the street, and this kind of thing has been for a few years, and most of the people in the house know it, let alone Chen Gonggong.

Thinking of this person, Gonggong Chen stopped his footsteps and walked towards the Dongyue Gate. The prince of the palace is almost the same as the prince in the palace, and he has to live in the East Palace, which is close to the East Moon Gate, even if the prince's servants are killed, the guards guarding the door are still alive.

When he got to the door, he beckoned a guard to come over. The guards of the palace naturally know the eunuchs who have functions in the palace, and this Gonggong Chen often accompanies the second prince in and out, how can he not know it. When the guard arrived, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Gonggong Chen, I don't know what you want to tell you to call the little one." ”

Gonggong Chen lowered his voice and said, "Our family came today because we want to ask you about something. As he spoke, he took out three gold leaves from his bosom and stuffed them into the guard's hands.

The second prince gave Gonggong Chen a total of seven gold leaves, and just gave three to the little eunuch, he wanted to keep four for himself, but he had to inquire again, so he could only cut his love again. As soon as the guard saw the gold leaf, he was full of smiles, "Father-in-law...... This...... How dare the villain accept it......"

"If you are told to take it, you will keep it, don't procrastinate, let people see it badly." Gonggong Chen said with a smile.

No one is a fool, and there must be something wrong with rewarding so much money at one time. The guard held the gold leaf in his hand, didn't dare to put it in his arms, and whispered: "Father-in-law, I don't know what you want to ask the little one?" ”

"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask you, on the first day of the first month of October, someone came to look for the son?" Gonggong Chen asked in a low voice.

"This ...... The prince has instructed...... No more ......," the guard whispered.

"Our family is not an outsider, so there is nothing that can't be mentioned." Gonggong Chen said with a smile.

"My father-in-law said the same, you are not an outsider. But after my father-in-law heard this, he couldn't tell anyone more......" said the guard mysteriously.

"Okay, okay...... If you don't say it, do you think our family doesn't know? As he spoke, Gonggong Chen took a step forward and whispered in the guard's ear, "Is it ......?"

"This is what you said yourself, father-in-law, but you didn't say it." The guard said with a smile. Then, take the gold leaf into your arms. Obviously, it is already an acknowledgment of the name of this person said by Gonggong Chen.

"Did the prince ever go out with him?" Gonggong Chen asked in a low voice again.

The guard nodded, "hmm".

"When I went out, did the guards that the prince took away have already been ...... by the prince," Gonggong Chen said, raising his hand to split.

The guard still nodded, and then whispered: "Father-in-law, just know about this, but don't tell it to the outside world." The prince is very concerned about this matter now, if someone chews his tongue, he will lose his head. ”

"I know." Gonggong Chen nodded, and then his voice was raised, and he said, "Okay, let's go." You remember, when you have time to go out on the street, don't forget to buy your things back and give them to the miscellaneous family. ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, the villain will not forget."
