Silent.

Long.

Suddenly, Wang Tianniu, whose face was in ecstasy, hurriedly spoke: "I remembered! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the mission was killed in the middle of the night two days ago."

Zhao Tianlun nodded.

"That's right!"

Wang Tianniu hurriedly said: "I have been drinking in Chunhua Building that night, and I didn't leave until the next morning!" ”

As if remembering something again, Wang Tianniu turned around and touched his belt.

Then he took out a white jade plaque carved with a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing from his waist.

The style of the jade plate is a general order that only the general canonized by the imperial court can have, and it is also a tiger talisman that can command the soldiers and horses under his command.

But when he held this general's order, which should have been so familiar that he couldn't be familiar anymore, Wang Tianniu's face became ugly, and at the same time, he muttered to himself: "Why didn't I notice this before?" ”

Just when Zhao Tianlun felt a little strange about this and wanted to ask.

Wang Tianniu immediately handed him the general's order in his hand, and pointed to the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the jade plate, and said emotionally: "This general's order is fake!" Someone must have dropped my bag while I was drinking in Chunhua Building! ”

"If I killed someone, why should I deliberately change my general's order? And why would I abandon the order of the Great General, who never left me, somewhere else? ”

"Lord Zhao!"

"You have to see it clearly!"

Hear the words.

looked at Wang Tianniu, who was getting more and more excited.

Zhao Tianlun also began to feel that there was something wrong with the murder of the mission.

So he hurriedly got started and rubbed the general's order.

Really!

Zhao Tianlun, who had a whim, exerted a little force, and the entire general's order immediately turned into powder and scattered all over the ground.

"It's really fake!"

See finger stained powder.

Zhao Tianlun, who was stunned in his heart, frowned, and immediately noticed that he didn't have time to ask Wang Tianniu too much, so he immediately stood up and walked outside the cell, and said to Wang Tianniu: "I'll go back and report this matter to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will decide it personally." ”

While talking to the jailer guarding here, he said: "Before Your Majesty's holy order is issued, you must make sure that General Wang's life is safe no matter what, otherwise General Wang will lose a single hair, and your head will fall to the ground!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The little one must take care of General Wang wholeheartedly! The jailer hurriedly responded, for fear of upsetting Zhao Tianlun and coming to cut himself.

Look up again.

Zhao Tianlun had already had a peony on his head, and hurriedly ran out of the Tianbing Terrace.

Da Da Da ·

The sound of eager footsteps passed through the gold-roofed red walls, and finally stopped breathlessly in front of the "Heart Pavilion" in the Imperial City Palace.

Ignoring the peony that fell and disappeared on his head, Zhao Tianlun, who was clinging to the lining of a big red robe due to sweat, trembled and stretched out his hand to knock on the door under the gaze of the black-armored guards on both sides of the door.

"Smack!"

"Oops!"

Without waiting for a response from the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, the file in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhao Tianlun jumped up and let out a sharp exclamation.

"Is the little wheel coming?"

Suddenly, a faint smile came from the Heart Cultivation Pavilion, and then he commanded: "Let the little wheel come in, it just so happens that I have something important to ask him." ”

This sentence was obviously meant for the black-armored guards in front of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion.

When these black-armored guards who were only loyal to the emperor heard this, they immediately stepped forward expressionlessly to help Zhao Tianlun open the door, and very quickly set up Zhao Tianlun and threw people directly in.

Zhao Tianlun, who didn't care where his face was on the ground, wailed, turned around and closed the door.

The light behind Zhao Tianlun suddenly turned into a flickering light in the Heart Cultivation Pavilion.

"Little wheel, why don't you come over quickly?" A slightly majestic voice in the laughter came from the depths of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion.

"Yes! Master! ”

Where can he still take care of the dark green on his face, Zhao Tianlun hurriedly got up with his hands and feet, walked forward quickly with the file in his arms, and said something in his mouth: "Little wheel, come here!" ”

Xiao Xiaobu walked for a long time.

Zhao Tianlun finally stopped in front of a golden table carved with dragons and phoenixes, and immediately knelt down, raising his hands holding the file high and level with the table.

shouted in a trembling tone with a bit of affirmation: "Back to the master!" Earlier, Xiao Wheel was ordered to go to the Heavenly Ice Terrace to inquire about General Wang, and what General Wang said was recorded in this dossier, and he brought it back and presented it to his master! ”

"Hmmm..."

The weight in your hand is light.

The smile on Zhao Tianlun's face hadn't had time to bloom.

"You little eunuch is bold."

With this sentence, Zhao Tianlun was frightened, and the whole person no longer knelt, but directly fell to the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Tianlun, who was lying on the ground, recalled the words just now, and already felt that his death time had come, and he would soon be able to accompany his father-in-law Huang Quan naked.

It's just that there is no follow-up for a long time.

Zhao Tianlun, who felt tormented and confused, was thinking about whether to look up.

Then I heard it in my ears: "But you have done a good job in this matter, and I will forgive you for the crime of overstepping your bounds, and give you a chance to make meritorious contributions to the crime and explain everything that happened in the prison of the Alpinpin." ”

"If you have a little bit to hide..."

"Little Wheel must tell the truth!"

As the adopted son of the great eunuch in the palace, Zhao Tianlun has been around since he can remember, so he has long been speaking to the big people in and outside the palace.

Now that he heard it, he knew that his master was not really blaming him, and he quickly got up from the ground.

Look up.

You can see a beautiful jade with a hibiscus face, and it seems to be the spring peach and autumn chrysanthemum, spring flowers and autumn moon, and the face of the country and the city.

But in the next second, Zhao Tianlun looked away from him sweating profusely, and lowered his head.

At the same time, I can't help but feel apprehensive.

After all, in addition to the previous emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, who is qualified to sit at the table of Yangxin Pavilion, there is only the empress of the current dynasty "Yu Jiangyue" who has been on the throne for a few years and has won the title of cold-blooded murderer for herself

The so-called son inherits the father's business.

It is also very reasonable for his father-in-law to serve the first emperor and serve the daughter of the first emperor as a son.

So Zhao Tianlun, who took a deep breath to strengthen his courage and did not dare to delay in the slightest, immediately began to tell about his conversation with Wang Tianniu in the prison of the Tianbing Terrace.

No matter how big or small, word for word.

Wait until he's done.

Empress Yu Jiangyue frowned slightly, shook the file, and said angrily: "So, you, the little eunuch, have come to intercede with me today?" ”

"Plop!"

Zhao Tianlun knelt down again: "Back to the master, Xiaolun knows that he is just a minion, and it may not be the turn of the slave to share the worries of the master, but the slave feels that there is something strange about General Wang's matter, and he feels that with General Wang's straightforward temper, I am afraid that if he really wants to rebel, the master will be the first to know..."

"And the Wang family has been guarding the north for the master for generations, so that the northern barbarians dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step, if General Wang is easily convicted, the slave is afraid that the master's hand will be missing a sharp weapon..."

"Of course, the slave didn't dare to preach to the master, but he just felt that if the master really killed General Wang, the cannibalistic things in the court might have different intentions..."

The words are full of caution, but they are also enough to reflect Zhao Tianlun, as the adopted son of the old eunuch in the palace, who is familiar with the various rules in the palace.

But the most important thing is that Zhao Tianlun expresses his loyalty to the empress Yu Jiangyue all the time.

Because.

Loyalty is something that an emperor has in abundance, but cannot be long-lasting.

Even the Wang family, who is fighting for the Great Xia generation, will be suspicious all the time.

Not to mention the eunuchs who were just cattle and horses in the palace.

Zhao Tianlun witnessed a eunuch and maid talking and laughing one second, and the next second because of suspicion, she was sent to chop into meat puree and feed the dog.

But it was precisely because he knew these truths and rules that he dared to say these words directly in front of Empress Yu Jiangyue in the Yangxin Pavilion.

So much so that he was actually very confident in his heart.

I believe that Yu Jiangyue will not only not punish him for his crimes because of those words just now, but will temporarily spare Wang Tianniu because of his words.

Then only one last variable remains.

Suddenly.

Yu Jiangyue, who hadn't spoken since Zhao Tianlun started his tirade just now, suddenly stood up.

The sudden action made Zhao Tianlun, who was full of confidence just now, turn pale on the spot, so that he knelt on the ground for the third time and began to tremble.

"Huh!"

"You little eunuch can speak well."

A soft snort.

Yu Jiangyue, who was dressed in a flying dragon yellow robe and wore a twelve-digit crown, first glanced at Zhao Tianlun, who was about to lie on the ground, and then threw down the file in his hand and said: "I found me before my father collapsed, and specially mentioned you, a little eunuch who can speak well, at that time, I still thought that how could you be mentioned by my father. ”

Yu Jiangyue remembers it clearly.

At that time, her father, who only had his last breath left, grabbed her hand and asked her to keep Zhao Tianlun by her side no matter what.

What else did she say, the only person she could really and completely trust in the palace was Zhao Tianlun.

Now it seems...

Come back to your senses.

Seeing Zhao Tianlun, who was still honest and trembling and kneeling on the ground without moving, Yu Jiangyue's slightly squinted eyes flashed with a hint of determination.

"Since I sent you to the Alpin Terrace to talk to Wang Tianniu before, then the case of the murder of the mission will also be handed over to you to investigate and deal with."

Write a few words on the brocade silk on the table, and then pick up the seal on the side and leave a mark on it.

and then casually threw this piece of brocade to Zhao Tianlun.

Yu Jiangyue said in a deep voice: "During the investigation of this case, you can rely on this order to mobilize Dongchang Jinyi Wei to help you investigate the case, and at the same time, the bureaucrats from all over the country are like bowing down when they see it, and if they are not satisfied, they can be cut first." ”

"But remember, this is the power I have given you, and I can take it back at any time."

"Yes! Minions are saved! ”

Hurriedly took the brocade silk that rolled in front of him firmly in his hand.

I really couldn't believe that Yu Jiangyue was really willing to let herself investigate this case, Zhao Tianlun couldn't help but laugh, and shouted loudly while getting up: "Little Wheel must help the master do this matter beautifully!" ”

"I'm tired." Yu Jiangyue didn't pay attention to him, just sat back in the chair and waved her hand.

"Yes, the minions are retired."

Zhao Tianlun immediately understood, and then kept moving his feet backwards.

Until they reached the doorway that had been opened by the black-armored guards.

Only then did he turn around and cross the threshold and walk out of the Heart Cultivation Pavilion that had brought him endless pressure.
