The current emperor is suspicious, and this point is actually a stumbling block in Zhu Yongning's plan.

The emperor refused to take the initiative to issue an edict, so the jade seal of the country was something that Zhu Yongning had to get. In addition, there is also the Tiger Talisman that he wants to find the most.

He has never been trusted by the emperor, and he has never received any imperial power, so he has no idea where these two are.

The emperor was accused in the palace, and the Beiying Army did not know the situation in the palace for the time being, so the search for the tiger talisman could be postponed for the time being. But if he wants to set the overall situation without fighting, the jade seal of the country is indispensable.

His people, in fact, controlled Shang Baojian who held the seal in the regulation at the beginning of the operation. However, Shang Baojian was almost demolished, and the eunuchs in charge there also insisted that the jade seal was never with them.

said that the emperor only trusts Father-in-law Shun, so the jade seal of the country has always been sealed by Father-in-law Shun in the celebrant supervisor.

However, after searching all the celebrants, their people did not find the jade seal.

Zhu Yongning once suspected that his father was afraid that even Father-in-law Shun might not be able to trust him, and maybe the jade seal was by his father's side.

So after putting the emperor under house arrest, Zhu Yongning's people also went to check the Qianqing Palace, but they still couldn't find it.

Because of this, as time slowly passed, Zhu Yongning, who was gradually urgent, wanted to pry open the mouths of the emperor and his father-in-law Shun.

Therefore, on the way to the celebrant with Gonggong Shun, in order to add a sum to his own merit book, Yuan Ping kept asking where the tiger talisman of Gonggong Shun was, whether the tiger talisman was also in the ceremonial supervisor?

And after discovering that Cining Palace was on fire, Ren Shi, after weighing the severity and looking at Father-in-law Shun, whose expression and behavior were very empty, also decided to temporarily put the matter of going to get the jade seal in the first place. If he can get the jade seal and tiger talisman in his hands, today's work will be enough to help him glorify his ancestors!

After sending two guards to Cining Palace to check and then go back and forth, Ren Shi led a group of people who were eager to make meritorious contributions, and almost carried Shun's father-in-law, who couldn't run fast, all the way to the direction of the celebrant supervisor.

By the time he arrived at the place, Yuan Ping was already out of breath.

But even so, she had no intention of resting, and just blindly urged her father-in-law.

The celebrant has long been emptied.

Everyone wanted to follow Father-in-law Shun into the inner room of the official hall.

Shun Gonggong stopped: "The secrets of the imperial court are involved, and they cannot be seen in the public eye." The secret vault of the inner room must not be entered by so many people! ”

As soon as he heard that there was a secret vault inside, Ren Shi and Yuan Ping were already looking at each other.

Vault? No wonder I can't find the jade seal, it turns out that there is a secret vault!

The celebrant is the head of the twelve eunuchs, in charge of all rituals, punishments and management of various services in the imperial city, and even occasionally can be approved by the emperor for future generations, and his rights can be seen. And Shun Gonggong, as the celebrant and the admiral eunuch, is not an exaggeration to say that he holds great power.

I hadn't heard of the secret vault before. But they don't doubt it at all. It's no wonder that they know about such a thing!

As soon as Father-in-law Shun said this, Ren Shi naturally nodded.

The contents of the vault will soon be owned by His Highness.

Then, His Royal Highness's private belongings are naturally not suitable for public. Who knows what's inside!

So, according to what Father-in-law Shun said, Ren Shi left all the guards in the outer room, and only he and Concubine Shu followed Father-in-law Shun into the inner room.

The inner room is clear at a glance, and he is not afraid of any small actions made by his father-in-law. As long as he shouted, dozens of guards outside would immediately rush in.

In order to put pressure on Father-in-law Shun, he drew a knife and pointed it at Father-in-law Shun.

"Where's the vault?"

"Behind the wall."

If you want to open the wall with landscape paintings, you obviously need a mechanism.

"Open it up!" Yuan Ping urged.

Father-in-law Shun pulled out the hosta on the top of his head, and Ren Shi was startled, and the knife hung up, almost cutting Father-in-law Shun's neck.

"Key...... In the hairpin! He said weakly.

The two of them watched Father-in-law Shun unscrew his hairpin, and what fell out of it was a small key.

"Where?" Yuan Ping snatched the key, ran to the wall, looked around, and couldn't find a place to insert the key.

"The key to ...... To the minions. Father-in-law Shun stretched out his hand.

Father-in-law Shun took back the key to the desk where he worked, touched his hand under the drawer, poked and twisted, and the desktop bounced open on both sides, revealing the hollow desk belly.

Sure enough, it's a trap.

In the small depression that popped open, there was an irregular piece of copper.

Yuan Ping and the two were dumbfounded, so this copper block is the key?

"Quick!" The two could only urge again and again.

Father-in-law Shun came to the most inconspicuous corner of the entire inner room.

There is a bonsai plant standing there.

After being searched many times before, the saplings, ornaments and mud and sand in the bonsai were turned upside down.

He directly pushed open the thick blue and white porcelain basin, opened the movable floor tiles, put the copper block into a copper base, and twisted it vigorously.

The wall moved.

Yuan Ping and Ren Shi both had their eyes shining, and they looked at the wall that was slowly opening.

The two didn't notice it at all, and Father-in-law Shun, who opened the door, quietly put the copper back into his sleeve......

In front of you, it's a small warehouse.

I can't really see it, but I can see rows and rows of shelves.

The door was fully opened, and Ren Shi's knife pointed at Gonggong Shun, who was bowing down.

"Quick! Find things out. ”

Father-in-law Shun led the two into the secret vault.

He motioned for the light.

Ren Shi and Yuan Ping were not worried about him, so this matter was naturally done by Ren Shi.

The two lights are one point, and the two of them are already staring at each other.

The eye is not a stack of papers, but a brocade box.

Ren Shi hurriedly walked a few steps inside, intending to light a few more lights.

Father-in-law Shun stood honestly by the door, staring at a delicate gold box against the wall. Yuan Ping's eyes were chiseled, but he humbly lowered his head and did not dare to look at each other.

"That's the one, right?" Yuan Ping asked in surprise.

"No...... No...... It's ...... "Shun Gonggong is branching out."

"Exactly or not?" Yuan Ping saw that the gold box was gorgeous and extraordinary, and there were a few pearls on it. It is a completely different grade from the surrounding brocade box. Isn't there a ghost!

She snorted and strode towards the gold box.

Ren Shi, who was still lighting the lamp inside, was also overjoyed when he heard this, and strode towards Yuanping.

Yuan Ping took the gold box in his hand first, opened it and saw that it was indeed a complete set of jade seals.

"Found it!"

However, the surprise only survived.

The two picked up the jade seal and looked at the bottom, only to know that they had made a mistake.

It's a jade seal, but it's not a jade seal, it's just the seal of the celebrant supervisor.

The two were about to question Father-in-law Shun together, but they saw a sudden sound behind them.

The moment they all turned around, they saw that the stone door was slowly closing.

Father-in-law Shun looked calm: "I said, it's not the box." Concubine Shu was mistaken. So saying, he walked slowly.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he didn't know what was shaking on the hand he was holding, and then he heard something kick and roll.

Ren Shi and the two looked at each other, and it seemed that something was rolled out by the eunuch before the stone door closed.

Looking at Father-in-law Shun again, the two of them sighed in their hearts.

The old eunuch was laughing, especially brightly.

"No, we said it wrong!" He looked at Yuan Ping. "You are no longer a noble concubine, but the lowest concubine in this palace, a lady who doesn't even have a title."

In the blink of an eye, Ren Shi flashed to him, and the knife hung on the neck of Father-in-law Shun again.

"What did you throw out?" The eunuch suddenly became arrogant, no longer calling himself an "old slave" but "our family", and dared to directly confront Yuan Ping, obviously a certain goal has been achieved. Ren Shi panicked.

"Our family threw the bronze sparrow that opened and closed the secret vault door here to the outside of the stone wall." In other words, they are locked up.

Father-in-law Shun turned his head and pouted, and motioned to the copper ornaments on the shelf by the door behind him.

Bronze Sparrow?

Yuan Ping and Ren Shi looked at each other again. As soon as they entered, all their attention was on the piles of treasure boxes in the vault, and who would notice what bronze sparrow was by the door?

Yuan Ping pounced.

The furnishings are a group of copper pieces connected to the wall, and the most critical piece is not missing at this moment?

So, the key to open the wall was thrown outside by the dead eunuch?

Ren Shi frowned and pushed the knife body towards the eunuch's neck a few points.

"Ren Commander, I'm sorry, I can't open the door. From the inside, there is only one way to open it, and that is to turn the Bronze Sparrow Key. "Father-in-law's task has been completed, and he is relaxed at the moment.

When Yuan Ping heard this, he slapped Shun's father-in-law in the face.

She leaned against the wall and shouted out to the guards outside.

Shun's father-in-law just laughs, and the more he laughs, the funnier it gets.

Yuan Ping glared at Ren Shi, "Why don't you shout with me!" ”

Ren Shi had to grit his teeth and obey the order, and the two of them shouted "coming" in unison......

Father-in-law Shun is still helping to count "one, two, three!" "Match their shouting.

After dozens of shouts, there seemed to be no movement at all outside.

As soon as the two turned around, they saw that Father-in-law Shun was already comfortably leaning on the shelf, sitting on the ground and looking at the two of them.

"Dead eunuch!"

"The walls are a bit thick. The soundproofing is not bad. So you'll have to work harder. The eunuch laughed.

He, the yamen, has a lot of management and miscellaneous. A court, how many priorities and secrets? In this secret room, there are many things that need to be kept both safe and confidential. The walls here are, of course, not ordinary walls.

Moreover, the guards were left outside by his "advice". A door and a thick wall that is well insulated, making it harder for sound to penetrate.

Father-in-law Shun took a pot of wine on the shelf and drank it in a big gulp.

Drink, drink, he has a secret collection of wine that he is not willing to drink, hurry up and drink more. After that, I don't know what kind of torture was waiting for me, and maybe it didn't hurt so much when I was drunk. Or maybe it's the last drink. I made the two people who slapped the wall as snacks, and finally had a good time!

Half an hour later, the two of them were hoarse.

Father-in-law Shun was pushed to the wall again, his face was pumped many times, the knife on his neck had cut through the flesh, and the blood made his neck a little sticky.

But his nose and face are swollen, and he is still laughing with the smell of wine.

"Dead eunuch, is there any other way to open the door?"

"It's better to ...... Are you looking for it? ”

Yuan Ping gritted his teeth sorely, and Ren Shi searched and searched for all four walls of this secret vault, but he didn't find any mysteries.

Finally, there seemed to be a slight movement outside......

It was the guards who brought the news that Yu Rongan had kidnapped Yin Xin and fled the palace to report, but he knocked on the door for a long time and did not answer, so he opened the door of the inner room.

Yuan Ping and the others fell back to the wall again, slapping the wall while pulling their hoarse voices like leaky broken drums, shouting at the guards to turn the copper block in the corner of the wall tile to open the door......

Such a message was reluctantly delivered after being said more than ten times.

On the other side of the wall, however, there seems to be no progress.

Father-in-law Shun laughed, waved his sleeve, and threw the copper block he had stolen before entering the secret room at the feet of the two of them.

The two of them looked down, and the one on the ground was not the irregular copper block that led them to open the door?

So......

Yuan Ping screamed and screamed, pounced on Father-in-law Shun, and scratched Father-in-law Shun's face with her sharp fingertips.

Therefore, the dead eunuch threw the bronze finch that opened the door outside, and brought the key to the outside.

The point is that the shape of the token opened inside and outside is not the same, so it cannot be used universally.

In other words, they are locked up.

Really locked!

Yuanping is going crazy!

On such an important day today, if she can't get out, won't she be inactive and worthless? Not to mention fighting with Yin Xin, she doesn't even have the qualifications to fight!

Father-in-law Shun smiled sinisterly: "The little master can be polite to our family." At this moment, the only one who can prove the innocence of you and Ren Guards is our family. ”

Shun's father-in-law's "reminder", Yuan Ping fell directly to the ground.

She realized what was even worse.

All three were locked in the same place. Keshun's father-in-law is a eunuch, so he naturally avoids suspicion.

So it can also be said that she and Ren Shi are ...... Co-roomed.

Yuan Ping was almost crazy, and he couldn't wait to strangle his father-in-law Shun to death.

She grabbed her nails at her father-in-law's neck.

"Dead eunuch! See if I don't strangle you! ”

"Little lord be cautious, if our family dies or faints, there is no way to prove your innocence. When the time comes, you will take advantage of our unconscious family, who knows what ugly things you have done? Although King Ning is generous, he is also a multi-hearted person.

What if...... I am afraid that even if King Ning accepts you, you will still be in a high position, but in fact, you will not be able to escape the fate of guarding the cold palace...... King Ning is young, you don't have a chance to choose a new emperor next time, do it again! ”

Father-in-law Shun laughed, poking at the most hated place in Yuan Ping's heart. "Another few decades of cold palace...... Not worth it! It's not worth it! Hahaha......"

Yuan Ping cried, but the strength of his hand was loosened.

"So, be polite to our family, otherwise we won't be able to get out!"

"Is there a way for you to get out?"

"Yes."

"Say it quickly."

"This wall cannot be cut by brute force. Unless it's blasted! So...... Let the people outside prepare the explosives. This is the only way. Father-in-law Shun grabbed the wine bottle next to him again.

"If you don't listen, we won't be able to get out!"

He dragged on and succeeded.

At a time like today, it will take at least a few hours to wait for gunpowder to come to the rescue, and then the victory and defeat will be divided, and the daylily will be cold. In the end, it was not in vain, in order to drag people down, he even exploded the secret vault of the celebrant eunuch.

Father-in-law Shun closed his eyes with a satisfied face.

Cining Palace has caught fire, indicating that everything is going well. Princess Yin and Princess Shi should have left.

After cleaning up Ren Shi and Yuan Ping, no matter how many people Zhu Yongning has in the palace, they are also a scattered rabble without command! No one can jump, no one dares to make decisions on their own, at least to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness.

As long as the plan goes well, the princess will drag Zhu Yongning outside the palace, and as soon as the Beiying Forbidden Army arrives, it will fight back!

At this point, Shun's father-in-law's wish has been fulfilled.

Enraged, Ren Shi kicked the wine bottle open and pushed the knife forward again.

"So, this celebrant doesn't have a jade seal at all, right?"

"So think clearly! Kill our family, no one will know where the jade seal is, and you won't be able to live! "Father-in-law Shun closed his eyes, and he didn't even bother to look at them." If you want to blame, blame you for being blinded by greed and blinded by power! Deserve! ”
