Chapter 418: It's All Over
Zhang Jing smiled, seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian looked puzzled.
He said: "Actually, the matter is very simple, first of all, it is nothing more than the method of elimination. ”
"The ministers know about the situation in the palace, and the people related to His Royal Highness the Prince, that is, the people who have the opportunity to sneak into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at night, are actually just eunuchs from several nearby palaces, or the eunuchs of the Divine Palace who are responsible for cleaning."
Zhang Jing paused, and then said, "So yesterday, the minister called them all to the front to ask. This inquiry, the minister saw that it was strange. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Jing pointed at Liu Neng and said, "The minister is on him, and he smells the wine." ”
Wei Zhongxian remembered yesterday's events.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse continued to hold the child deadly, but he also listened intently.
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty and Brother Wei knew the situation at that time, the prince disappeared, and when the minister went to investigate, it had already been an hour or two, and the smell of wine on Liu Neng's body was still so strong, which means that he drank wine in one or two hours." ”
"This is very strange, people with a discerning eye know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has disappeared, and the palace is shaking, Your Majesty will inevitably check what happened in the palace one by one, and may also find out about this Liu Neng's head. No matter how heavy Liu Neng is, he will not dare to drink at this juncture. ”
After hearing this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that it made sense.
On weekdays, it doesn't matter if you drink some alcohol secretly, but on the cusp of the storm, you dare to drink, isn't this looking for death?
Even drunkards don't risk this inevitable discovery.
How irrational this is.
Zhang Jingyi continued: "So when I asked him, I thought he would deny it in every possible way, but who would have thought that as soon as this Liu Neng heard me angrily accuse him of drinking, he immediately pleaded guilty and was willing to be punished." ”
"Your Majesty, think about it, if it is true that this Liu Neng is a foolish person, he dares to drink at this juncture, it stands to reason that such a person is lucky, so when the minister scolded him for drinking, he actually did not deny it, and even confessed, which is even more suspicious."
"Of course, in order to prevent it from happening, in the spirit of not wronging him, he still asked Zhang Shun to secretly investigate, and learned that although Liu Neng also drank a few sips of wine on weekdays, if you want to say that he is alcoholic, he has wronged him."
So, the minister wondered why he was so drunk at this time. Thereafter...... Chen Cai suddenly thought of a possibility. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him fixedly and said, "What is possible?" ”
Zhang Jing said: "If someone hides a child in the palace, what is the biggest trouble?" The reason why everyone didn't suspect that the child was in the palace was because of what? ”
Wei Zhongxian was suddenly enlightened: "Children will cry." ”
"Not bad." Zhang Jingyi: "Once the child cries, it will be earth-shattering, but if the child does not cry, where is it so easy?" Do you threaten him and he will stop crying? If you want to find any drugs to make your child faint, it is not easy, and some drugs want to be carried into the uterus, but it is not so easy to do. Especially now, Brother Wei has long been alert to the fact that someone may be making a name for himself in the palace, and these days, the guards in the palace have been strengthened a lot. But...... What if you secretly dip some wine on your finger and give it to your child to suck on? Such a young child, as long as he gets some alcohol, is bound to be groggy. ”
"At that time, the palace was already in chaos, and I had begun to personally inquire about the eunuchs involved in the prince, this Liu Neng was only afraid that he was also in a hurry, on the one hand, he was worried that the child would wake up and make a noise, so he quickly poured some wine and gave it to the child to eat, on the other hand, he had to rush to be questioned. As a result, I could only rush to me full of alcohol. ”
"Then, when I noticed the smell of alcohol on his body, he must have been flustered when he was a thief, so in order to prevent himself from being discovered, he simply admitted that he was drinking.
Zhang Jingyi sighed: "Liu Neng, what else do you have to say so far?" ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly understood, he was fierce at this time, and he was busy holding the child to the other eunuchs, and whispered: "Let people take care of ...... well."
So the eunuch hurriedly took the child and walked away.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Liu Neng with resentment, and said sharply: "Liu Neng, you were also an old man in the East Palace at the beginning, I didn't expect you to be so bold, do I have to be sorry for you?" ”
Liu Neng actually knew that his death was on the verge at this time. He smiled bitterly and said, "Haven't you been a slave?" Your Majesty's words, the slave maid was a little incomprehensible. ”
Liu Neng lay on the bed, looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse hatefully, and said: "Your Majesty also said that the slave maid is the old person of the East Palace, and there were many people who followed His Majesty at the beginning. ”
Liu Neng's eyes showed a look of resentment, his face became more and more hideous, and he said: "But the others entered the Forbidden City, which one of them did not soar into the sky, not to mention the others, this Wei Zhongxian was just a eunuch of the Salary Division, but after His Majesty entered the Forbidden City, he immediately sent him to the celebrant supervisor." What is he, did he take care of His Majesty in the East Palace in the first place? On the contrary, it was a slave and maid, who was in the East Palace at the beginning, but now it is sent somewhere, it is actually in the Divine Palace Supervisor, and the Divine Palace Supervisor specializes in cleaning people, compared to this Wei Zhongxian, what is a slave and maid? ”
The main responsibility of the Divine Palace Supervisor is to clean, of course, Liu Neng is definitely not responsible for cleaning, after all, he is the Divine Palace Supervisor, and he belongs to the high-level eunuchs, although he is worse than the palm seal eunuch and the Admiral Eunuch, but he is also the third person in the prison.
But obviously, Liu Neng was not satisfied with this, at this time, he smiled and said: "The so-called king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy." Since Your Majesty treats slaves and maids as a thing, there will naturally be people who take slaves and maids seriously, and today when it comes to this part, slaves and maids have nothing to say......"
He gritted his teeth, but he looked like he hated it.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was already trembling with anger: "Just because someone else's position is higher than you, you want to be like this?" You don't want to think about it, where are you comparable to Wei Zhongxian? What he can do, can you do? Ha ha...... Okay, good...... I really didn't see the wrong person, but fortunately I didn't let you go to the celebrant and the royal horse supervisor, and someone came...... Come...... Take this person down. ”
Zhang Shun also took the opportunity to grab Liu Neng's hair, and then opened his bow, slapped him a few times, and scolded: "You unsatisfied dog slave, I don't share the sky with you." ”
Wei Zhongxian stood aside, looking at everything in front of him with a smile.
Obviously, this Liu Neng was jealous of him, although he was not surprised, after all, the palace was a place of deceit, and such things were commonplace. However, the head of this district divine palace supervisor actually had such a big heart, but he was still a little surprised.
Zhang Jingyi said at this time: "You said that someone takes you seriously, who is this person you are talking about?"
Liu Neng was beaten to pieces by Zhang Shun, and the corners of his mouth were already bleeding at this time, but he said: "If the person who is a confidant dies, how can we sell him?" I have nothing to worry about, my father and mother don't care about me, and I will be castrated into the palace, and I will have already broken off with them, and now, how can I be willing to implicate others! ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was angry and anxious.
He urgently needed to know who instructed Liu Neng now, so he said angrily: "Someone, take him down, and torture him carefully." ”
Zhang Jingyi looked at the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said, "Your Majesty, actually...... He said it didn't matter if he didn't say it. Last night, he had shown his feet. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be surprised: "What? ”
Zhang Jingyi: "He was beaten yesterday, and I was suspicious of him, but I wasn't sure yet, so I asked Zhang Shun to guard him overnight, in fact, ...... To find out who he colluded with, all you need to know is ...... Whoever visited him could find out a thing or two. ”
When Liu Neng heard this, his face changed suddenly.
I only heard Zhang Jingyi continue: "Because it's very simple, on the cusp of this storm, Liu Neng is hiding the prince here, and the people behind him must be more anxious than us, on the one hand, they are afraid that the child will be discovered, and once they are discovered, they will lose everything." On the other hand, they were also afraid that Liu Neng would show some of his feet. So as soon as Liu Neng has an accident, of course, someone needs to know his current situation, although it may be a bit risky to do so, but if you don't check his recent situation, you are still a little uneasy after all. ”
"I let Zhang Shun be here...... After squatting all night, I waited for the fish to take the bait by itself. Zhang Shun, you come and tell Your Majesty who came here yesterday. ”
Zhang immediately said: "It's Imperial Doctor Zhou from the Imperial Hospital." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned: "The Imperial Doctor may just be here to deliver medicine." ”
Zhang Jing said: "He is a eunuch, how can he invite the imperial doctor to come to the door in person?" And as far as the minister knows, Imperial Doctor Zhou specializes in treating nobles. Ordinary eunuchs, just ordinary apprentices to see, by the way to give a little medicine, Liu Neng in the palace, although he is also a master, but the palace is the most realistic place, after all, he is only a palace supervisor, not a ceremonial supervisor and a royal horse supervisor, but he has to labor the imperial doctor to come in person, which is obviously unreasonable. ”
"So I expect that this week's imperial physician is also one of their accomplices, this person must have been instructed, Your Majesty only needs to arrest this week's imperial physician, and you will know as soon as you ask."
Liu Neng's face has become extremely ugly, he was still unruly, but at this time, he has realized that it is over, everything is over.
He struggled to get up, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse kicked him back to the bed.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him with disgust and said, "Wait, wait until I wipe you out, and then I will teach you to know how powerful!" ”
