Chapter 228

When He Sheng went to summon the nobles, there was also silence in the Qinzheng Palace, except for some movements made by Imperial Doctor Shentu when he gave the needle to Concubine Mei, the Qinzheng Palace can be said to be a movement that can be heard when a needle falls.

The more time passed, the more panicked Lu Gaohong became, Qin Yuandao hadn't come back for so long, and he didn't know where he went, what did he do?

Qin Yuandao, an old thief, has always liked to go against Lu Gaohong, but now at this juncture, Qin Yuandao's disappearance really made Lu Gaohong panic.

Others may not be able to see it, but Qi Jingyang, who was sitting on the side, can see it clearly, fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Gaohong's forehead, and his eyes are even more masterless, turning in a panic, looking at the emperor several times, and quickly lowering his head, as if he had something to say, but he couldn't say it.

Lu Gaohong stayed in the Qinzheng Hall and couldn't move around at will, but Qin Yuandao's disappearance was really a big trouble in his heart, he wanted to find another way, and wanted the emperor to find out about Qin Yuandao's disappearance, and then turned the matter of this feast to Qin Yuandao.

But he didn't know what Qin Yuandao was going to do, what if this move made the emperor order to go to Qin Yuandao to come back, and Qin Yuandao said the news that was unfavorable to him, wouldn't it be a waste of stealing chickens and rice?

At the moment, only Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling knew about this matter, but the two of them were far apart, so it was inconvenient to communicate, and besides, there were too many things involved in this kind of matter, and it was impossible for them to talk about this matter in the Qinzheng Palace.

It's really passive at the moment, Qin Yuandao and Liang Xiao don't know what the hell they are doing outside, but they are trapped in the Qinzheng Hall and can't even move, Lu Gaohong is as impatient as an ant on an iron plate.

Lu Huiling didn't realize that her plan was revealed, and she was still silent in the void in front of her, she looked at Liang Huanqing and Qi Wangshu kneeling in place, Mei Guifei was still unconscious due to physical exhaustion and was being treated, none of their words were about themselves, Lu Huiling was very proud.

Liang Huanqing was holding Concubine Mei in her arms, but she kept thinking about Liang Lin and Zhao Zhao outside the palace, I don't know what kind of situation they are now, it's been so long, and I don't know if I have found evidence.

Liang Huanqing looked around, but found that Qin Yuandao was gone, and thought that he was taken away by Liang Lian to investigate the case.

At this time, at the gate of the palace, Wei Shen and Qin Ruilan were also looking anxiously, but fortunately, the Liang family army was transferred into the palace to help deal with this matter, and Wei Shen was able to move around freely, otherwise he could only stay in the palace and not come out.

Mei Guifei and the others have been interrogated by the emperor in the Qinzheng Palace, and the royal forest army in the palace has repeatedly investigated and punished, but they still haven't found any clues about the destruction of the feast, but like this kind of feast, a discerning person should know that it is impossible to move at all, and only people in the palace can participate in it.

Wei Shen and Qin Ruilan were very confused for a while, Mei Guifei didn't know what the situation was, and Liang Liang Zhao didn't know what the situation was now, they couldn't go out of the palace to help find it, they could only stay at the palace gate, and when they came, they could take them to the Qinzheng Palace in time.

Zhao Zhao drove the carriage to take away the body of the palace maid, Fang Lu was in a hurry, and led people to chase Deng Xin and Cheng Liang for several streets, there were many patrolling guards on the street, and when they saw that it was Fang Lu, the housekeeper of the Lu Xiangfu, they wanted to come forward to help, but how could they help with this kind of thing.

Originally, the body was snatched away, but I don't know who the other party is, this is the matter of Prime Minister Lu Cheng and Concubine Ming, I don't know how to explain this life, it's too late to remedy it, and I have to tell the government about this matter?

Under Fang Lu's repeated pushing, the guards stopped following, but Deng Xin, Cheng Liang and the others also disappeared.

The people selected by Zhao Zhao are all good hands in the military camp, and they have excellent skills, and ordinary people can't do anything about them.

This time it was a dumb loss for Fang Lu, he looked around, but there was no trace of those thieves, he angrily threw the sword in his hand to the ground: "It's really unreasonable!" Dare to steal something in the Land Prime Minister's Mansion! ”

The few Xiangfu guards who followed around were all their own people who knew about this matter, and when they saw that the body had been stolen, they couldn't help but ask, "Steward Fang, what should I do now?" Do you want to tell the prime minister? ”

Fang Lu looked at them angrily, and one of them rewarded a brain melon, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the prime minister? The prime minister is now in the palace, how can you tell him? Are you dying? Don't find more people to come over, even if you dig three feet into the capital, you have to get things back for me! ”

How serious this matter is, Fang Lu also knows in his heart, this matter is messed up, but it is directly related to Lu Gaohong and Concubine Ming in the palace, if something happens, not to mention that Fang Lu will die, even the two masters in the palace will be implicated.

Seeing Fang Lu say this, several guards hurriedly ran away in several ways, bound to retrieve the body.

Fang Lu was in place now, his brain only hurt, but he calmed down and thought about it, now that the palace was sealed, the people inside couldn't get out, the people outside couldn't get in, if someone wanted to snatch the corpse, the biggest possibility was to bring it into the palace.

Thinking so, Fang Lu hurriedly called the people around him: "You hurry back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and call a few people, we will go to the palace gate to guard now, don't let those people send the corpses into the palace!" ”

If Fang Lu's idea was not wrong, then it was very likely that those people had discovered their plan, and now that he couldn't contact Lu Gaohong, he could only guess by himself, he couldn't indulge that group of people's conspiracy to succeed!

A few guards around him received orders, a few people went to the mansion to call people, and Fang Lu took people to hide at the gate of the palace and wait, if that group of people didn't appear, it would be fine, if they appeared, Fang Lu couldn't care so much, even if he fought to the death, he couldn't let the corpse be sent to the palace.

Deng Xin, Cheng Liang and Zhao Zhaobing split into two ways, and smoothly threw Fang Lu away, and after seeing that there was no danger, they took a detour to enter the downtown area.

Now it's almost dark, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the market is not closed, there will be lanterns all night long, when the young ladies and sons pour out to watch the lanterns on the lake, and when it is a good day, the palace will release dazzling fireworks to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

The lanterns have been slowly lit in the downtown area, and there are many people who love to join in the fun, and they have dressed up early, just waiting for the fireworks to be released in the palace.

But what they don't know is that the feast in the palace has been suspended now, and although the fireworks have been prepared, it is still a question whether they will be released.

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang walked through the crowd, and after making sure that no one was following them, they hurried back to the barracks, preparing to transport the body into the palace with Zhao Zhao.

At this time, Liang Lin and Qin Yuandao and Yin Renzhao also hurried to the direction of the capital, they were all anxious to worry about whether they would miss something, the horses were almost exhausted on the road, but they still rode their horses and whips, braving the wind and snow to rush to the capital.

"How long is it going to be there?" Rao is Yin Renzhao's enthusiasm was also blown away by the oncoming wind and snow, he had never ridden a horse for so long, looking at the long road, his mentality was almost broken.

Liang Lian can naturally understand, Yin Renzhao, as a literati, is not as thick-skinned as their generals, so he turned around and comforted: "Come on, you hold on a little longer!" ”

The wind and snow when he returned to Beijing seemed to be greater, but Qin Yuandao was also a civil official, and he never stopped on the way during the two long journeys, nor did he shout tired, and he had a belief in his heart that he wanted to make the truth public, and he couldn't let the mastermind behind the scenes go unpunished!

Thinking so, Qin Yuandao turned around and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”

Then he rode his horse and ran at the front.

Liang Lian naturally couldn't hold back, turned around and encouraged Yin Renzhao, and hurriedly followed, and the three of them ran to the capital one after the other.

"General!" Deng Xin and Cheng Liang hurried back to the barracks, Zhao Zhao was waiting for them at the gate of the barracks at the moment, and now that the situation was serious, Zhao Zhao could only rely on them to help transport them.

Zhao Zhao turned around and saw that several of them had come back safely, so he hurriedly greeted them: "Are you all back?" Was he followed by Fang Lu? ”

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang glanced at each other, smiled confidently and said, "How come?" We do things, the general can rest assured! ”

"Have you ever brought back the corpse?" Cheng Liang didn't know the situation in the kitchen at that time, but now that he was able to get out of danger safely, he couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Zhao nodded, but his expression instantly became solemn, he looked at the two and said: "Now that the body has been found, but how to transport it into the palace, this is still a problem, if there is such a major event in the palace, the strict defense at the palace gate will be tighter, Luo Xun is guarding the palace gate..."

Deng Xin and Cheng Liang glanced at each other, and they also felt that this was indeed a tricky problem, but after thinking about it, since it had been made like this, it was better to go in directly, and it would be announced to the public when they arrived in the palace, and it would not hurt to talk to Luo Xun.

The three of them seem to have reached a unified opinion, and now the important thing is not how to transport the body into the palace, but how to transport the body into the palace as soon as possible.

If you delay a little longer, I'm afraid there will be all kinds of variables in the palace.

Soon, Zhao Zhao and Deng Xin Cheng Liang walked out in a low-key carriage, and they changed the carriage of Lu Xiangfu, also to avoid the sight of Lu Xiangfu, and now there will be no guards patrolling that area of Jingjie.

At this time, they only asked Luo Xun to be at the gate of the palace, Luo Xun was young and promising, if he knew about this kind of thing, he would definitely be indignant.

Fang Lu and the others were already in ambush not far from the palace gate, waiting for the suspicious target to appear.

And Qin Yuandao, Liang Lian, and Yin Renzhao also arrived in Shangjing at this time, and they were running through the frolicking crowd towards the palace.

At this time, the noble man stepped on the wind and snow, and also came to the door of the Qinzheng Palace, she looked up at the solemn hall, and her heart was indifferent and quiet.
