"Into the palace? Isn't the East Palace all fenced off? How can I enter the palace? ”
"The hidden guard killed six forbidden soldiers guarding the West Path Gate, and put on the armor of the forbidden army, so he could hide it for a while. Miss Li can follow me to pretend to be a little eunuch of the Shangyi Bureau and enter through the West Trail Gate! ”
"That's right...... But I'm so scared...... What if your hidden guards are discovered, and I will go through the West Path Gate again, not to throw myself into the net? ”
"No, it won't!" The little eunuch kneeled to her feet, "No, those hidden guards are very good, whoever finds out will kill them!" Don't waste time away from Miss, you are exposing your feet by blindly consuming it like this! Please come to the palace and save our Highness! ”
Lizhan touched the red bracelet, took out an anesthetic needle from it, and shook his head.
"I'm not going."
The little eunuch seemed to have seen a trick performance, and he didn't know what came out of thin air in Lizhan's hand, but the hidden guard of Xijingmen was still waiting for him to bring people back, and he didn't have time to think about this, so he pulled Lizhan's skirt and begged: "Miss Li, why did you change your mind?" Your Highness treats you wholeheartedly! You are only one step away from the phoenix position, and now you only need to go with the slave to Miss Li, and the slave will send you out safe and sound! It won't take long to work hard. ”
"I'm not going."
"Miss Li? Away from Miss! The slave begs you, the slave kowtows to you! The minions call you Ancestor! ”
Lizhan slowly leaned down, "I won't go, and you won't go either." ”
"What?"
The little eunuch thought he had misheard, but with a "bang", something sharp poked into his body.
He looked down, and the slender tip of the needle slowly pulled out of him.
He was dazed, wondering why Lizhan had suddenly pricked him with a strange needle. Was it because he was resentful that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had hidden the truth from her, so he vented it on him?
"Miss Li, you ......"
As soon as he said this, he found that Lizhan had changed two heads dangling in front of him, smiling coldly.
What's going on?
He wanted to rub his eyes and look again, but he couldn't lift his hand, and then he felt strange, but he didn't have time to think about it before he slammed it on the ground like a sack full of chaff.
Qiao'er walked up to the little eunuch and hooked his arm with her toes, but she didn't respond.
"The strength of this medicine is coming too quickly."
"This thing can numb an elephant, let alone a little eunuch."
"What is the young lady going to do with this little eunuch next?"
"Feel free, it's someone from the East Palace anyway."
"That'...... Let's tie it up first. Qiao'er found a rope to tie him up, and threw the ball of silk meat into the space.
"Miss, is everything ready now?"
"Donggong is already in a dead end, but there is still a lack of evidence for the Bai family's conviction. Bai Zhaoqin is not a vegetarian, thirty-six plans are the best plan, and it is quite fast to slip away. However, as long as the Criminal Department investigates it well, the evidence will be sooner or later, let's wait and inform King Duan first not to let the prince cause any trouble. Don't let the people of the capital suffer because of my revenge. ”
After leaving the lamp and hurriedly packing up, he went to Lin's house, told Lin Youqian about it, and asked him to hurry up and inform King Duan.
As for the matter of the case, Xu Yuanzhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was anxious for quick success and quick profit, and quickly reported the investigation and punishment of the treasury official Yinzhu Party to the emperor.
That night, Zhong Pei was formally arraigned and tortured.
The gathering of the forbidden army began to accelerate.
The gold, silver, pearls and jade in the villa are even more inextinguishable.
It's just that the people involved in the counting work in various ministries have been counting the money all night for half a month, and most of them are gradually unable to bear it, and the court is full of complaints.
In the end, the Bai family came forward and proposed to the emperor, and then the details could be slowly investigated.
The queen also knew that the project was huge, and it was impractical to go on like this in the long run. Moreover, this case has implicated Zhong Pei and other courtiers, and the emperor is afraid that it will spread too widely and shake the roots of the country, so he agreed to the Bai family's proposal and the criminal department itself will investigate.
The Bai family was overjoyed.
Originally, I was afraid that the criminal department would find out something, but now that the inventory work is delayed, there is time to prepare for it.
The only thing worth watching out for is the bell match...... Only he knew what he was doing with Donggong.
Bai Zhaoqin has already sent a top doorman to the criminal department to squat, as long as he is removed from prison.
At the beginning, he was undecided and didn't help the prince, but now it's too late to help even if he wants to.
The forbidden army began to assemble secretly, even if it was evenly matched with the Li family's army, the Bai family did not dare to gamble.
As long as they don't rebel and don't let the Criminal Department catch any solid ironclad evidence, many clues will be exposed, and the emperor will turn a blind eye to help them fool the past.
And the dozens of people in the criminal department only freed up half of the manpower to count the huge mountain villa, I don't know if the Year of the Monkey will find some clues about the Bai family?
Bai Zhaoqin was proud all night, and expected that the doorman should not be lost.
The next morning, before dawn, several fast horses came down from the back mountain and hurriedly rode into the city gate and entered the palace.
Zuo Juan led his subordinates and carried a heavy golden silk nanmu box to Tianying Pavilion, where the emperor was discussing troop raising with the ministers, and Bai Zhaoqin was also there.
The matter of raising troops was used to guard against Gu Yueze, but the first person to propose to gather troops and horses was Bai Zhaoqin, the prince's father-in-law, and he was the one who took the lead at this time.
A picture of deep righteousness.
When Bai Zhaoqin and a group of courtiers were having a heated discussion, Zuo tried to see him.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and when they expected that there was a new development in the case, they all got out of the way, watched the left trial sentence walk in, and with a wave of their hands, their subordinates snorted and carried them into a box.
The Emperor asked, "What is in it?" ”
Zuo replied that all the objects in it were found in a secret pavilion in the villa last night, and the matter was very important, and the emperor was specially invited to decide.
Bai Zhaoqin, who was next to her, glanced at the box, didn't say a word, her face didn't change, and she watched the emperor order someone to open the golden silk nanmu box.
Inside, there are many jewels and treasures, and the eyes are dazzling.
The emperor looked at it emptyly, "Present it all to see!" ”
The eunuch held the contents on a plate and sent them to His Majesty in the same way.
Each time it was presented, the Zuo Judge would remind him, "Has this coral ever felt familiar?" ”
Coral is rare, and most of them are fans and purple, the color of this coral is really wonderful, the blue is actually green, the emperor feels familiar, but he really can't remember, only to hear one of the courtiers suddenly say: "Isn't this the coral tree that the queen mother bought back with her majesty when she crossed to Penglai Island with her majesty?" ”
The emperor suddenly realized, "I remembered, it was indeed the queen's picture, and it was pulled back with a baggage, how could it be in the prince's treasury?" ”
"Your Majesty, you have to ask Bai Xiang about this." The left judge bowed his head and glanced at Bai Zhaoqin.
"What do you mean, Lord Judge?" Bai Zhaoqin lifted her robe and got up.
"Lord Bai doesn't remember? Three years ago, the queen held a banquet for her daughters, and Ling Qianjin won the first place in the poetry competition, and the queen was very pleased and rewarded Ling Qianjin with this coral tree worth 10,000 gold. At that time, the prince was not the prince, but His Royal Highness King Cheng, and His Royal Highness King Cheng also had a concubine in his house. In this way, it can only be ...... adults."
"What if I gave it to Your Highness?!" Bai Zhaoqin flicked her sleeves angrily: "What? I have a good relationship with hundreds of officials, so I can't have an ordinary friendship with His Highness?! ”
"It's not impossible to be friendly, but finding something unusual is another story. This coral is extremely valuable because of its magnificent color, and it is worth tens of thousands of dollars. If an ordinary official gives such a heavy gift in private, according to the law, it can be recognized as giving and receiving in private, and it is the crime of forming a party to drill camp. ”
Bai Zhaoqin looked indignant, but the left trial sentence brought out the law to press him, even if he has thousands of truths, can he still be more reasonable than the law?
"Emperor Mingjian, in the eyes of this minister, there is nothing that is not ten thousand gold! Coral is just coral, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves elegant things, how can the lower officials give it casually and say that it is a party with the prince? ”
"Hmm......" the emperor stroked his beard.
Then the eunuch presented various treasures.
Zuo Ju explained one by one: "There is also this white jade carved lotus boy pendant, it is inconvenient to guess how much it is worth, but it is an accessory that Your Majesty personally gave to Lord Bai ten years ago, but it was also found in the prince's treasury." ”
Bai Zhaoqin was slightly flustered, and she didn't think of a suitable word, and the next thing was presented.
"This blue glaze three-series lid jar is an antique treasure left by the Hua Dynasty, Xia Guan was fortunate to be invited by Lord Bai to visit the Baifu Garden, especially remember that this treasure is displayed on the shelf of the White Picture Garden, and I have tasted it with Lord Xu."
"Heh, what does that prove? The prince also came to my house that day, and after repeatedly viewing this jar, he asked me for it, and I gave it to him! ”
"Lord Bai is really generous to His Royal Highness the Prince, and Xiaguan and Lord Xu have also appreciated it for a long time, why don't you see Lord Bai open his mouth to give it away?"
"You...... There were so many guests that day, and the judge didn't ask me for it, how do I know if you are happy or not? ”
"Okay, let's not be a subordinate official. What about Lord Bai looking at this again? The left trial sentence didn't argue with him much, and pointed directly to the next treasure.
"In the box, the most valuable thing is this jade bone silk chongniao luan phoenix fan, which is still a diluted treasure presented by the Amaterasu envoys when the first emperor was alive. One side took the painter five years, and the other side took the painter ten years. The artist was a former painter of Amaterasu Province at the time. In the past ten years, he has never drawn a picture for the emperor, and he has devoted himself to making these two fans for Emperor Amaterasu.
The envoy presented this treasure to the friendship of the two countries. The first emperor happily stayed, and later gave it to Bai Xiang's father, who was the white master at that time. The mascot of diplomatic relations between the two countries should be treated like an heirloom by the Bai family, right? Lord Bai was willing to give the supreme glory that the first emperor had given to the Bai family, and he easily transferred it to others! Lord Bai knows the things given by the emperor, and he can't change hands?! ”
"This ...... How else could there be such a thing? The courtiers present were all shocked, and they began to see the wind and rudder.
Bai Zhaoqin panicked, it's good that one thing can fool around, there are dozens of hundreds of things lying in this box......
How does the Criminal Department do it?
