Praetorian Guardhouse

Chao Zhen came here directly after leaving the palace gate, and he asked his subordinates to inquire about the forbidden troops who were on duty at the palace gates last night, and he and his deputy approached a quiet courtyard.

The winter weather is cold, and the courtyard is barren, and the grass and trees are withered and yellow and drooping together, and they are ruined.

Chao Zhen sat on the main seat, his eyes were wrong and looked at the dozens of forbidden soldiers in front of him, he held a cup of semi-cold tea in his hand, the tea soup was dim and yellow, and the tea leaves were not very good.

However, Chao Zhen's focus was not on the tea, he didn't say a word, he just listened to the deputies ask one by one, so that when the deputies all asked, Chao Zhen didn't interject a word.

The deputy took a book to him, the ink on it had not yet dried completely, and he could smell the strong smell of ink, "My lord, all the confessions are here." ”

Chao Zhen flipped through the two pages casually, and he didn't have to read it seriously, after all, he heard it from beginning to end and saw it in his eyes.

Chao Zhen just wanted to speak, a group of footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard, the pace was very big, without a few breaths, like a black whirlwind blowing, Chao Zhen shook his eyes, and saw the man's straight and long figure, the silver line on the black python robe outlined his natural noble elegance, phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, and his face was peerless and picturesque, but his expression was extremely bland, his aura was cold and alienated, and he was born to look up to him.

Chao Zhen hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness is here." ”

Mu Beichen walked over as nothing, and when he sat down on the main seat, his eyes swept around coldly, the light in his eyes was as sharp as a knife, with a strong oppressive force, with his glance, the straight soldiers of the forbidden army who were originally standing one by one were a little untenable, and couldn't help but bend their backs.

After a while, Mu Beichen's thin lips opened and closed, and he said lightly: "This king came to take a look, Lord Chao is at will." ”

Chao Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart, telling him to be free, just such a big Buddha is placed here, he can do as he likes, it's strange!

"Ahem...... Chao Zhen cleared his throat and handed over the book in his hand, "This is the confession of the inquiry just now, does Your Highness want to see it?" ”

Mu Beichen's long eyelashes drooped slightly, his eyes fell on the book, and he moved away for a moment, the expression on his face was flat, and his tone was as cold as an eternal time, "The matter of investigating the case, it is better for Lord Chao to watch and handle it." ”

Chao Zhen saw that he said this, and it would not be good to shirk it again, so he simply took back the book, arched his hands and saluted again, "Then Weichen will begin." ”

Mu Beichen didn't speak, he bowed slightly, and the meaning could begin.

Chao Zhen turned around, touched his nose, his eyes were straight, his face was a little more serious, and he said to the row of forbidden guards in front of him: "You just heard what Lord Ben said, and now, Lord Ben still has a few questions that you need to answer truthfully." ”

After the accident last night, the forbidden army in the palace was panicked, for fear that a person who was not very good at blame would be happy to hit the board, and he was afraid that he would be dragged out and beheaded without a chance to be beaten.

Just when they were speculating about their uneasiness, more than a dozen of them were invited here, they didn't sleep all night and tossed for most of the day during the day, and now their spirits have withered a lot, and they looked at each other after listening to Chao Zhen's words, and they didn't dare to object.

"Last night, you patrolled around the Shoukang Palace, and you didn't find anything unusual until dawn?" Chao Zhen poked his finger on the cover of the book, and lit it again and again.

"Lord Hui, we have said it several times just now, and we really haven't found a trace of movement, all the brothers can prove it." The one who spoke was the leader of this team, a young man in his twenties, with a Chinese face, a scruffy beard, blue and black under his eyes, red and bloodshot eyes, an anxious expression with panic and helplessness, and his whole face was a lifeless gray color.

They are on duty in turn as usual, and it was the turn of Shoukang Palace last night, I thought it was the most idle errand, after all, the Queen Mother went out of the palace to worship the Buddha, which is equivalent to an empty palace, and there is no need to worry about safety at all, who knows that the problem is in Shoukang Palace!

There is another one, originally the masters in the palace were surrounded by the big internal guards to protect them, and the queen mother here can not be ignored, but it is also because the queen mother went out of the palace to worship the Buddha, there is no need for the inner guards to guard the empty hall, most of them followed the queen mother out of the palace, and the remaining part was also sent to the treasury to guard the heavy land, as for the Fushou Palace, only the palace maids and eunuchs took turns to clean up and guard.

Therefore, if something happened, the internal guard should have been the first to be questioned, but by mistake, now it has become the responsibility of their forbidden army, and there is no place to talk about reason.

This column of forbidden soldiers was like ashes, and the care was not effective, and they had long been ready to die, for fear of affecting their families. Moreover, even if you are ready to die, as long as you are a person, you are afraid of death in the end, and if you have a chance to live, who doesn't want to fight again in the end.

After Chao Zhen asked, he was not in a hurry to argue with him, and said: "There are two entrances and exits in Shoukang Palace, you are sure to send someone to guard them." ”

"Yes, our team has a total of fifteen people, because the Queen Mother does not live in the palace now, so the back door is blocked from the inside, but the humble position still sent two people to garrison, in order to be foolproof, the other thirteen have two people guarding the front door, and the humble duty takes the remaining ten to patrol around the Shoukang Palace every other time of incense, I dare not exaggerate to say that not a cat or dog will let go, but a big living person is absolutely impossible to escape the eyes of the inferior people." The leader of the squad frowned, and he really couldn't understand how the thief broke in and retreated.

Chao Zhen grabbed the brush on the table in his hand, and suddenly asked an unexpected question, "How do you relate to each other?" ”

The team leader was also stunned for a moment when asked, and then replied inexplicably: "Except for the time when they are resting, they all eat and live together. "Men are relatively big and dissolved, unlike women who are delicate and sensitive, so there will be no friction when they live together, and if they are on an errand together, they will be there some brotherhood for a long time, and then drink two times, that is, a good brother who hooks his shoulders.

"Oh~" Chao Zhen nodded, walked from the position of the first person to the last, and then walked forward from the last, and so on three times, the fifteen people were uncomfortable with him, and they didn't know what he was looking at, but they didn't dare to ask casually.

Mu Beichen really did everything he said to Chao Zhen, sitting on the main seat, Duan Yi brought a cup of hot tea, he twisted the tea lid and gently pressed the tea leaves, his eyes lowered slightly, and he didn't look at those Praetorian Guards, obviously he was in it, and he seemed to be outside.

It is also a shame that Duan Yi is following behind Mu Beichen, he is not a person who talks a lot, and he does not have a strong curiosity, he must not be able to be so quiet if he changes Fengwu, he will have long doubted whether this Chao Zhen is stupid, he walks around and does not speak, the two sentences he asked just now are still complete nonsense in the eyes of others.

"You, tell Master Ben what colors he usually likes, which restaurant he likes to eat, where he frequents most, where his home is, and how many brothers and sisters he has." As soon as the footsteps stopped, Chao Zhen looked at the person in front of him, raised his hand and casually pointed to another person next to him, and asked a lot in one breath.

The young man who was asked was obviously stupid, what is this, and does it have anything to do with the investigation of the case?

"If you ask you, you will answer honestly!" Chao Zhen's deputy reprimanded with righteous words, and helped his forehead in the invisible place behind him, obviously accustomed to Chao Zhen's character of not playing cards according to the rules, but he followed Chao Zhen for a lot of time, from the initial incomprehension to the back more and more convinced, and he understood in his heart that what Chao Zhen said at this time must have his truth.

"Your Excellency...... Does it have anything to do with the case? The team leader looked at the nervous young man and another Praetorian Guard who was also stunned by Chao Zhen.

Chao Zhen retracted his fingers and fanned the book in his hand, and when others thought he wouldn't explain, he smiled heartily, "It's so simple, your confession Lord Ben listened to it just now, and there is almost no suspicion, but Lord Ben thought of a question, you also said it just now, there are two guards sent to the front and back doors, and the possibility of one person lying is not high, but the problem is ......" Chao Zhen raised his eyebrows, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "What about two people lying at the same time?" ”

"This ...... No way! The team leader denied it at the first time, and when he assigned it at that time, it was all random, how clever it was to arrange two people who had made a good confession, and then commit a crime at the expected time to cover up each other.

Although there are only fifteen people in this column of Praetorian Guards, even those fourteen people can be combined freely, and there are infinite possibilities, even if the problem lies within the Praetorian Guard, how can we achieve the ultimate goal among countless possibilities.

"Whether there is such a possibility, you say it doesn't count, and what the official says doesn't count." Chao Zhen flicked his finger on the book and hooked his finger, "You say it yourself." ”

Rao is calm as Duan Yi couldn't help but glance at Mu Beichen suspiciously, wondering what the hell this Lord Chao was doing, could this be an alternative way of investigating the case, it looked very powerful.

The team leader waved his hand and said to the little soldier in front of Chao Zhen: "Answer according to the adult's question, don't miss it." ”

"Yes!" The young Praetorian Guard swallowed his saliva and glanced at the other one Chao Zhen had just pointed out, "His family lives in Lianjiao County, the lower head of the capital, and he doesn't know the color he likes, and he most often goes to Wu Fulou to listen to music, because he likes to listen to Xiao Cuiniang's Qin dialect, and he rarely goes to the restaurant, but once I heard him say that he likes to eat Cuiyuzhai's crystal exquisite bun the most." ”

After hearing this, Chao Zhen nodded noncommittally, and nodded another casually, so after five or six hours, he stopped at the end of the small queue, and in front of him was a powerful man, with thick eyebrows and sword eyes, a bronze resolute face, and a body as tall as a mountain, which was very powerful at a glance.
