Finally discovered!

If they don't find out again, Zhou An will have to arrange it and personally go and find out "accidentally"!

The discovery of weapons and armor in the palace is a big deal, no matter who it has to do with it, I'm afraid I'll have to lose my head! Zhou An didn't dare to slack off, and immediately led people to the warehouse where the cleaning tools were stored in Wan Huayuan.

The box with weapons and armor was placed in the deepest part of the warehouse debris pile, and the reason for the discovery was that it was autumn, and more tools needed to be used to clean it, so many tools that were not used in summer were now all used, and the little eunuch of the direct palace was rummaging through the tools, and found a box that should not be there, and was startled when he opened the box!

Half an hour later, the matter had been reported to the empress!

The empress was furious, and directly transferred the Shence army to the direct palace prison to investigate the matter thoroughly!

There was a great turmoil in the palace suddenly, although this matter had nothing to do with other people, out of the direct palace prison, it was also related to Gu Huaiyong, although Gu Huaiyong's other cronies also knew about the rebellion and participated in it, but they did not participate in this matter, let alone know that weapons were transported into the palace without permission.

However, there is a ghost in the heart, and it is naturally uneasy!

They were afraid that the empress would investigate some other things this time!

The news soon spread outside the palace, which naturally caused an uproar!

The opposition is shaken!

Many courtiers all thought of it at the same time, and this matter must have nothing to do with Wu Xukuan! No one but him dared to do that! And who Wu Xukuan controls in Ouchi, and how many people are his in Ouchi, but not much is known.

This turmoil lasted for three days, and during these three days, more than 200 people were arrested, including a few small eunuchs who were directly in the palace, and all the guards guarding the Donghe Gate were replaced, and nearly 30 people, including the head of the Donghemen foreman guards, were arrested and put into the prison for interrogation.

Donghe Gate is the door where the direct palace eunuch transports stolen goods every day, and the little eunuch of the direct palace enters and exits through this door every day.

After three days of careful searching, the Shence Army dug up several large boxes containing weapons and armor under a three-hundred-year-old peach tree in Wanhuayuan, and also found large boxes containing weapons and armor in the bamboo forest of Fuchun Palace, in the rockery behind Yonghe Palace, in the woods in front of Lingwu Gate, in the vegetable garden of Jingzhai Garden, and in the warehouses where the six direct hall supervisors stored their cleaning utensils distributed throughout the Great Interior!

A total of 470 swords, 200 hardwood bows, 6,000 arrows, and 500 sets of armor were seized!

It is worth mentioning that most of the management inside Wei Ningwei, including the commander, was also arrested!

In addition to the empress's pro-army Shence Army, there are four other guards and horses, namely Wei Ningwei, Chuanyun Wei, Shengxiuwei, and Zhen Haowei, all of which belong to the imperial horse supervisor, that is to say, they are Gu Huaiyong's people!

However, speaking of which, Gu Huaiyong does not have full control over the four guards and horses, he controls some management at most, such as the commander of Wei Ningwei, although the commander controls the entire guards and horses, but in the final analysis, his rights are also given by the royal family, if he wants to rebel, it is very difficult to say how many people below can respond.

But this is also extremely dangerous, as long as a small number of the four guards and horses participate in the rebellion, they can open the gates of the imperial city.

This is the fundamental reason why Gu Huaiyong was not directly moved!

Gu Huaiyong is the second manager, and he has been the second manager for more than ten years...... It is not clear how much of the four guards of the Great Inner Court can be directly transferred, but he can definitely mobilize some of them, and in the twelve eunuchs of the inner court, in addition to the celebrant supervisor, all other departments also have his people!

If Gu Huaiyong is arrested, the entire Ouchi will be turned upside down, if the four guards and horses participate in the rebellion, although the Shence Army can be completely suppressed, but it will give Wu Xukuan a reason to enter the palace to "escort", once Wu Xukuan leads a large number of soldiers and horses into the palace and controls Ouchi in the name of "escort", then the Wu dynasty will exist in name only!

This time, through the "inadvertent" discovery of the privately hidden weapons and armor, the turmoil caused can only be regarded as small and controllable!

If you don't catch Gu Huaiyong directly, Gu Huaiyong won't have the courage to make trouble!

The empress also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to clear part of the palace first, which had to be done step by step, so only Wei Ningwei was moved...... If it weren't for their lack of strict censorship, it would be impossible for the little eunuch of the direct palace to transport weapons into the palace, so it is natural that all the guards of Donghe Gate were arrested, and there is a reason to move Wei Ningwei!

All of this seems to be a chain effect after the unintentional discovery of the weapon!

The main thing is to prevent Gu Huaiyong from having the intention of directly causing chaos!

On the afternoon of the day the weapon was discovered, the chief manager Kang Longji went to the Imperial Horse Supervisor in person, and directly asked Gu Huaiyong if he knew about it, Gu Huaiyong knelt on the ground in fright and shouted injustice, in fact, Kang Longji also went to act, he rarely could be so forbearing, in the end, Gu Huaiyong expressed his trust in Gu Huaiyong, but the Imperial Horse Supervisor was still arrested by the two.

It's a "scapegoat"!

Kang Longji single-handedly contributed to Gu Huaiyong's innocence and gave Gu Huaiyong the opportunity to launch a scapegoat!

In fact, Kang Longji really wanted to slap him to death, but if he was slapped to death, there would be chaos in the interior!

The seventh day of the ninth month.

The empress has not been to the court for three days, in order not to give Wu Xukuan a chance to do things in the court, the excuse is naturally that the dragon is sick and sick.

This time the internal turmoil has stabilized, and Donghemen has been temporarily replaced by a team of men and horses from the Shence Army.

……

In the afternoon, in the depths of the prison, in a cell covered with hay.

"Humblely recruited, humblely recruited!" A man in prison uniform, nearly fifty years old, kept kowtowing, this person is Wei Ningwei's commander "Xue He", he was thrown into the prison, he was not tortured to extract a confession, until today.

At this moment, there was a man in his thirties paralyzed beside him, who was Wei Ningwei's deputy commander, who had become a fool.

In front of Xue He, there were two people standing.

Zhou An, the supervisor of the direct hall, and Gao Hong, the commander of the Shence Army!

Xue He originally wouldn't have recruited him, he was a hard bone, and he knew very well the consequences of recruiting, once he confided in the second chief Gu Huaiyong and involved Wu Xukuan, then his entire family, his wife and children, old and young, would inevitably be killed by revenge!

So he didn't plan to recruit, and he wouldn't recruit if he was killed.

But just now, Zhou An showed him how to read people's memories, Zhou An looked at the memory of his cronies, or right-hand man, that is, the memory of Luo Zan, the deputy commander of Wei Ningwei, and then told him some things that only the two of them knew, and directly said about Gu Huaiyong!

He saw that Zhou An already had the evidence, and knew that if he didn't recruit him, he would be punished by the Nine Clans, so he recruited him, he knew that he was dead, and he just wanted to save his wife and children!

Gao Hong asked Xue He to write down all the information he knew, and then Gao Hong slapped him hard, and Zhou An performed the soul knowing technique, and also looked at Xue He's memory, I had to do this, no one knew whether what he said was true or false, whether there was any omission, and the reason why Gao Hong hit him hard was because Xue He was in a low-grade realm and had strong strength, but he might not necessarily let Zhou An look at his memory.

When the two of them left the prison, it was already dusk.

"Father-in-law Zhou, I'm tired!" Gao Hong clenched his fist at Zhou An.

"Look at what you said, General Gao, our family and you are both doing things for the saint, and they should do it." Zhou An smiled at Gao Hong.

"Hahaha! What Grandpa Zhou said is true! Gao Hong laughed.

"Let's go, General Gao, we should go and see the saint, but we can't let the saint wait for us."

"Yes, let's go!"

It's time to see the empress again, Zhou An knows that he must seize this opportunity, the last time he saw the empress, he didn't even see face-to-face, he kept talking through the curtain, this time he hoped to go further.

The eunuch, speaking of which, is the servant of the royal family, the servant of the emperor!

If the eunuch wants to climb up and dominate the world, he must be favored by the emperor!

What makes Kanglongji so special? It's not because he has the absolute trust of four generations of emperors!

Zhou An is to be the next Kang Longji! And even beyond!
