Chapter 147: Citywide Search
He had often entered the palace before, and he was very familiar with the terrain in the palace, so he naturally knew that this was the southeast corner of the palace.
There are palaces where there are no concubines living here, so it has always been deserted, and no one comes here except for the cleaners.
Thinking about it this way, the probability that Xiao Ji can find him is not high.
Xiao Zhenheng frowned slightly, looking at the two little eunuchs who were still cleaning underneath, it was difficult to get out for a while.
If something goes wrong and he is bumped into by the two of them, he will have a long mouth and can't tell the matter.
But fortunately, the two little eunuchs below cleaned up quickly, and after a short time, they packed up their things and left.
Xiao Zhenheng waited for a while, and after making sure that no one would come over this piece, he turned over and got off the beam of the house and walked out cautiously.
The southeast corner has never been guarded much, it is a relatively loose place, and according to Xiao Zhenheng's martial arts, it is easy to run out over the wall.
Looking at the palace wall that was not particularly high, Xiao Zhenheng frowned slightly, and then luckily turned over directly.
At this moment, a person suddenly walked out of the corner, looking at Xiao Zhenheng, who had disappeared, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Xiao Zhenheng just doesn't leave, and if he leaves, it will be a capital crime.
It's unguarded, so who can tell if he was kidnapped or "voluntarily" sneaked in?
With two grim laughs, the man turned to leave, and disappeared in a moment.
The whole palace fell silent again, but suddenly there was a sound outside the palace walls.
Xiao Zhenheng reappeared on the wall, looking at the place where the person had stood just now, with an unconscious sneer on his face.
He has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and he has seen a lot of intrigues, how can he be deceived by this mere trick?
What's more, he is not in a hurry to escape.
After all......
Xiao Zhenheng was slightly focused, found the sack that had been thrown away before, and put himself in it again.
When he found out that the situation was wrong, he took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention and told Xie Yin to enter the palace at all costs to ask for an explanation.
Although the development of things was a little different from what he imagined, fortunately, there was no problem with the result.
Calculate the time, Xie Yin should also enter the palace at this time.
Closing his eyes with peace of mind, Xiao Zhenheng fell asleep quietly.
At this time, Xie Yin, as Xiao Zhenheng expected, directly took Cheng Shuiyao into the palace
She has a noble status, and there is a lot of noise along the way, and she already has a pungent reputation, so no one dares to stop her along the way.
Cheng Shuiyao's face was serious, she just concentrated on supporting Xie Yin, and didn't say anything.
The two walked all the way to the front of the palace where the emperor worked, and then stopped slightly, waiting for the eunuch to enter and pass the word.
"Xie Yin, what is she doing?" The emperor, when he heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect her to come over for a while.
Xie Yin has been protected by Xiao Zhenheng for a lifetime, and he also has a bad reputation in the capital, although he has lived in the palace for a long time, he has also heard of it.
Now that Xie Yin is so aggressively "killed" into the palace, it will not be easy to think about it.
"Say it......" The eunuch hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Old General Xiao has been tied up, and now his whereabouts are unknown, and he doesn't know his life or death." ”
"Xiao Zhenheng is tied up!"
The emperor threw down the fold in his hand with a "snap", and his face was full of shock.
At the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, there are still people who dare to move Xiao Zhenheng, a bad star, how bold are the people behind this?
"Do you want to pass it on?" The eunuch knew that he shouldn't pick up his words, so he just lowered his eyes slightly and asked again.
"Quick!" The Emperor relented, reverted to his place, and regained his calm countenance.
Xie Yin and Cheng Shuiyao soon came in, and the two of them made a big salute respectfully, and immediately began to cry.
"The courtiers think that they have never made enemies in their lives, but someone actually tied up my husband for no reason, this grievance of the courtiers can't stand it, and ask the emperor to call the shots!"
Xie Yin couldn't cry, but he didn't say a word less than what he should say, and the overall logic was very clear.
The emperor also saw that there was a three-point falsehood in her crying, and he was slightly distracted, but he turned his gaze to Cheng Shuiyao.
"Your mother-in-law is too excited, it shouldn't be convenient to say more, and you can talk to me for the rest."
There was a sense of majesty in the voice, and it sounded very oppressive.
Cheng Shuiyao didn't hear it, but just saluted according to her words and told the whole story.
She didn't lie, because she knew very well that she couldn't hide her trick from the emperor's eyes, not to mention that this matter was originally a loss for them, so there was no need for them to lie.
After listening to Cheng Shuiyao's story, the emperor looked at her calm face and sighed in his heart.
This new daughter-in-law who has just entered the door really has the courage of the General's Mansion, not to mention it, this style is like Xiao Ji.
"Please also ask the emperor to take a clear look!"
Xie Yin couldn't hear the emperor's reply for a long time, so he knelt down directly with a "plop".
This kneeling is a real kneeling, and you can even hear the sound of your knees hitting the floor.
Cheng Shuiyao didn't have time to react, so she could only watch Xie Yin kneel, and she knelt down without hesitation.
The two generations of the general's mansion knelt at the bottom, and the emperor was helpless, and there was no way not to agree, so he could only ask the eunuch to help the two of them up first.
"Your Majesty has agreed?"
Xie Yin still had tears on his face, but his expression was much calmer than just now.
"Come on, send a team of officers and soldiers to find Xiao Zhenheng, even if you search the entire capital, you have to find out the people."
The emperor no longer shirked, and directly gave an order.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Yin and Cheng Shuiyao both had happy expressions on their faces, and they directly thanked them.
"You go back to the house first, and if there is any progress, I will send someone to inform you." The Emperor rubbed his brow and stretched out his hand to wiggle it.
Xie Yin and Cheng Shuiyao accepted it when they saw it, and they didn't push the emperor too much, and turned around and left the palace directly.
"Your Majesty, do you want it?" The eunuch saw that the emperor's faintly pale face was a little pale, and he stepped forward to ask worriedly.
"It's okay," the emperor waved his hand, barely suppressing the awakening sweetness in his throat, and beckoned the eunuch to go down.
The eunuch didn't dare to say much, so he could only turn around and leave here.
The emperor heard the sound of the door shut, and then he covered his heart tiredly.
His body is getting worse and worse, and if the current situation continues, he shouldn't have a few years left.
But now that he doesn't have an adult prince under his knees, he doesn't know who to hand over to these thousands of miles.
The Emperor sighed, the words jumping through his mind.
In terms of ability and mentality, Xiao Ji is far better than the prime minister, and if he is forced to do so, Xiao Ji is also a good candidate.
But......
The emperor squinted, and always felt that it was a little inappropriate to give up these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
