After Xiao Cheng finished speaking, Master Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little surprised to hear such words in the mouth of a little girl who was so simple that she could be bullied.

"Don't you think they shouldn't be killed?"

Seeing that Master Chen was silent, Xiao Cheng was a little flustered, she bit her lip, and her expression was a little indignant.

Lord Chen's gaze involuntarily fell on her red lips, and the next second he looked away in a little panic and coughed twice.

"What you said is naturally reasonable, but now that person refuses to let go, he can't find any clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, and he can't be killed for the time being."

"It's easy." Xiao Cheng turned his head and said with a smile: "Since the person in the prison is the first person to plan to force the palace, there must be a lot of things hidden in him.

If he is sent to the guillotine, the other party will definitely show up to save him, and it is just right to set up a plan to catch a turtle in an urn. ”

Lord Chen looked at her with some surprise, Xiao Cheng was a little flustered, and asked in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

"No, you're right." Master Chen smiled and reached out to touch her head.

Xiao Cheng lowered his head, and a dark light flashed under his eyes.

On the second day, Lord Chen entered the palace early in the morning, but Yin Zhige was not summoned, and he asked people to come in a little strangely.

"I entered the palace without being summoned, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive the crime of disrespect."

Lord Chen bowed his hand, Yin Zhige waved his hand to excuse him, and asked, "I don't know what Lord Chen is about?" ”

"Some time ago, there were gangsters who led troops to force the palace, and the Praetorian Guards were unfavorable to save them, but fortunately, His Majesty's destiny was safe and sound.

It's just that the ill-intentioned thief has not been dealt with yet, and the minister thinks that it has always been a scourge, so His Majesty thinks twice and disposes of it as soon as possible. ”

Yin Zhige listened to his words and looked at him with interest.

"Who did Master Chen see yesterday? I remember that your attitude was not like that. ”

Obviously, last time he said that the thief did not confess, but it is a pity to deal with it at this time, how can he completely change his tone in a blink of an eye.

Lord Chen lowered his eyelids, "The minister didn't see others, but just read an ancient book and had an epiphany."

The plot to force the palace is very heavy, if there is absolutely no help from outsiders, the thief refuses to confess, and he must know a lot of things.

It must also be a very important existence for the person behind it, if we pretend to send him to the guillotine, maybe we can lead those people to appear. ”

Yin Zhige raised his eyebrows, "If this plan doesn't work, then can you really kill him?" ”

Lord Chen was stunned, not knowing what to say, Yin Zhige sighed.

"What you say is true, but before I get a clue, I won't try it easily, otherwise I will only steal chickens and rice."

After he finished speaking, a wind suddenly rose outside, and a gust of wind blew in and directly hit Lord Chen's back, causing him to stiffen.

After a long time, Lord Chen swallowed his saliva, lowered his head, and his tone was a little decadent, "It's the minister's negligence." ”

Yin Zhige said lightly that it didn't matter, after Lord Chen left, he immediately asked Xiao Dezi to find out who Lord Chen had seen in the palace yesterday.

Half an hour later, Xiao Dezi hurried home, and he took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve pocket.

"Yesterday, after Lord Chen left the imperial study, he went to the imperial dining room to pick up snacks as usual.

It just so happened that the pastries had just been divided, and the little eunuch who took the dim sum proposed to let Miss Xiao Cheng, the director of the imperial dining room, take Master Chen around to pass the time.

They went to the vicinity of the Imperial Garden, and no one heard what they said. ”

Yin Zhige's gaze fell on the stationery on the table, "The director of the imperial dining room ......"

"You go tell the queen and ask her to help find out."

As soon as Xiao Cheng returned to the imperial dining room after delivering his things, he saw Qing'er standing at the door with a few little eunuchs, seemingly waiting for someone.

Seeing her coming, Qing'er said with a wooden face: "The queen wants to eat crab roe crisp, so I bothered Miss Xiaocheng to take it and send it." ”

Seeing that this posture didn't look like he was going to eat a snack, Xiao Cheng bowed his head and entered the imperial dining room.

She took a snack and followed Qing'er and them into Kunning Palace.

Zhong Xiaoshu sat on the top, with a cup of fine snow top and emerald in his hand.

Xiao Cheng sent the snack to the table and took two steps back, bowing his head and waiting for Zhong Xiaoshu to speak.

"I heard that you were bullied by your mother-in-law and eunuch a few days ago, but are you okay?"

Xiao Cheng didn't look up, "Thank you for your concern, it's just that they are too old to do anything, and the slaves have been rearranged." ”

Zhong Xiaoshu laughed, "What are you doing so restrainedly, I won't eat you." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to pull her, but Xiao Cheng took a step back and dodged, "The slave doesn't dare." “

"If you can handle it, I heard that there is a Master Chen who has been going to the imperial dining room every day to get snacks recently.

Once I met you and was bumped into and helped you talk, do you know this Lord Chen? ”

Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed, and he looked up with some guilt, "That day was really a coincidence, the slave maid went to the imperial study to deliver snacks."

didn't look at the road and accidentally bumped into Lord Chen, and later he stood up for the slave.

The slave and maid were grateful, because they had similar temperaments, so they talked more. ”

She said a bunch of vague words, which made Zhong Xiaoshu a little dizzy.

"This palace doesn't mean anything else, and it doesn't mean that you won't be able to make friends."

"The slave knows, the mother has always been magnanimous."

"You were brought up by this palace, and this palace hopes that you will not do something ignorant."

Zhong Xiaoshu felt more and more that Xiao Cheng had a problem, so she said a few words casually and waved her hand to let Xiao Cheng leave.

No one noticed that the cold light in Xiao Cheng's eyes flashed after he turned around.

Yin Zhige blocked all the lobbying that Lord Chen came to his lips with one sentence.

He is a civil official, and he rarely is speechless, and when he walks out of the imperial study, his heart is full of embarrassment.

After walking for a while, he turned around and walked the other way.

Since His Majesty was worried that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, he personally went to pry open the man's mouth and then guillotined him.

But as soon as he arrived at the prison, he was stopped by the doorman before he could enter.

"Heaven and earth are heavy, and you can't enter the hand without Your Majesty's dictation."

The doorman was wearing heavy armor and spoke in a rough voice, and Lord Chen was a little annoyed.

"This official has been instructed by His Majesty to interrogate the thieves who forced the palace to rebel."

"Where's the hand? No hand is allowed without any cards. The doorman gave him a glance, not in the slightest hint of getting out of the way.

Chen Dasheng's mouth trembled a little, "This official is a second-grade minister, can he still deceive you?"

If you dare to be disrespectful to your officials, aren't you afraid that I will go to Your Majesty to complain? ”

The official is the second grade, and basically no one dares to offend in Beijing, but these two martial artists who lack roots and don't know how to be flexible are on the bar with him.

The doorman snorted, and he took a step forward with the broadsword at his waist.

"Heaven and earth are heavy, and the heinous people who belong to them are imprisoned, and the adults are rich and valuable, if they are surprised by anything, their subordinates can't afford it."
