Chapter 423: Step by step

The guardian of the astrolabe must stick to the temple and not leave, once it is found that there is an anomaly in the palace, he must immediately send someone to deal with it, so this hall also has special guards for him to drive. If it is a minor incident, it can be solved by the guards rushing to it, and if the infiltrator is successful, the guards will immediately rush to the upper floor of the incense burner hall and ring the big bell to warn them, and the Yulin army will be dispatched.

"One of the guards is named Dong Dacheng, a native of Shengyi, 27 years old this year, who lives in Jijin Lane in the southwest of the city, and has two sons after marriage, who are seven and five years old. According to the rules of the palace, the guards were allowed to go home one day a month. Dong Dacheng only asked the court's procurement eunuch to help him bring back three catties of crispy roast pork full of incense all over the building yesterday. It's so famous that you usually have to wait in a long line to buy it, and the price is not cheap. ”

"He brought it to the child. Yan Saburo immediately understood, "Then Dong Dacheng will leave the palace and go home in the next two days." ”

Crispy roast pork is fragrant and sweet, but if you eat too much, it will be a little greasy, and two or three pieces are enough for adults. Dong Dacheng bought three catties so much, it is not ruled out that he will find a colleague to drink, but the most likely thing is to take it home to an old snack.

Children's sense of taste is far less sensitive than that of adults, and they prefer crispy and flavorful food, not afraid of sweetness.

"He is in the temple of the censer, and he must have something to do with the keeper of the astrolabe. He Xiaoyuan let out a sigh, "That's all I can find, do you want to start with him?"

You Ren has been operating in Shengyi for several years, but it is difficult to reach into Tianyao Palace. Moreover, the incense burner hall is located in the middle, where foreign ministers are not allowed to step further at all, and it is even more difficult to inquire about the news.

God knows how hard it would be to get such a little clue! This is still the eyeliner that was planted by a merchant who regularly supplied rice and noodles to the palace dining room. I just sent a batch of goods in yesterday, and I just heard Dong Dacheng come over to greet the purchasing eunuch.

Knowing Dong Dacheng's whereabouts, she will be much easier to check later.

"Okay, thank you. Yan Saburo smiled at her, "Thank you." ”

Someone has a name, an address, and that's easy to do.

......

In the evening, the Dong family in Jijin Lane was harmonious and had a hearty dinner.

Dong Dacheng's family has a simple population, and the young couple has an old lady on their heads and two children under their knees. He was on an errand in the palace, and he could only come back once a month, and his family revolved around him.

After the meal, the family gossiped for more than half an hour, and the wife coaxed the children to sleep. After another half an hour, Dong Dacheng's mother and relatives also had to rest, and the couple had the opportunity to lie down under the quilt and get close to each other a few times.

It was so cold outside, but Dong Dacheng sweated profusely, and then fell asleep contentedly, falling asleep, as if smelling the light fragrance of flowers.

Strange, it's blooming this season?

Unfortunately, before he could finish his thoughts, he was confused, and he didn't notice two figures standing at the head of the bed.

Yan Saburo frowned: "Is the medicine you used too heavy?" Half an hour has passed, and there is still a hint of sweet fragrance in the room, how much medicine powder has been applied to Chitose?

The woman in red smiled and groaned: "Haven't you heard that the best way to make a man let down his guard and fall asleep is to exhaust his strength." I'm just cheering him up. ”

Looking at the two people who had slept dead on the kang, Yan Saburo said honestly: "I haven't heard of it." "He's been blowing cold winds outside for a long time, if it weren't for Chitose's medicine being too violent, could he have waited a little less?

Chitose gave him a blank look and decided not to bother with the little wood. She took two steps forward and pressed her fingers to Dong Dacheng's temple.

......

Before dawn, Yan Saburo returned to his small courtyard.

Qu Yunhe and He Xiaoyuan were very energetic, and walked out when they heard the voice: "How is it?"

"Inquire about some news. Yan Saburo closed the door with his backhand.

Dong Dacheng was not guarded, he said it all. The guards of the incense burner hall were divided into two shifts, one shift a day, and each shift was divided into three eunuchs, each of whom received four hours. ”

Qu Yunhe snorted: "It's more manpower than before." ”

People's energy is limited, and it is easy to get distracted by staring at the astrolabe for too long, so sending more people is the most direct and effective way.

"Those eunuchs all live in the palace, don't say anything out of the palace, even if you don't go to the outer court. In other words, it was not easy for them to attack these eunuchs in Shengyi.

Qu Yunhe was not discouraged: "But these eunuchs also have to come into contact with people." Not to mention anything else, they and the guards guarding the temple just bowed their heads every day and didn't look up. ”

Yan Saburo nodded: "Exactly." ”

"There are ......six eunuchs guarding the astrolabe," Qu Yunhe took a light breath, "Which one are we going to attack?"

Yan Saburo told all the information about the six people he had spoofed, and after listening to it, He Xiaoyuan interjected: "Why don't you choose the eldest Wu Gonggong?" He will be on duty tomorrow. ”

Yan Saburo groaned: "Father-in-law Wu?"

He Xiaoyuan then said: "He is fifty-six years old this year, he has been guarding the plate for more than ten years, and his energy is no longer good, and the other eunuchs who are guarding the plate are younger than him, but the work of staying up late is arranged for him to do, which shows that this person is also very miserable in the palace, and others don't take him seriously." As you said just now, Dong Dacheng also found that he drank privately during his vigil, and this kind of person is the most likely to neglect his duties. ”

Yan Saburo and Qu Yunhe glanced at each other, and they both felt reasonable.

The palace is a place to boil qualifications, but Father-in-law Wu has been sent to the night shift for many years, and he wants to come to this person for a long time, and he doesn't have to expect him to work hard when he is old. Wu Gonggong probably also plans to live a mixed life, otherwise how could he secretly drink when he is on the plate?

Dereliction of duty is a felony of losing your head.

It can only be said that the astrolabe has been too peaceful in the past ten years, which has made him numb for a long time. Sometimes even if it is a big crisis, worry every day, worry all the time, worry for a long time, and don't worry, only a long night left, how to pass the time without drinking?

"That is to say, as long as we infiltrate Wenxin Garden, let this old eunuch be ignorant and insensitive to the anomalies on the fixed astrolabe. "You may not be able to go wrong with a chart, but you can. Qu Yunhe made a summary, "As long as the time is controlled within half an hour, it can still be done." ”

Yan Saburo continued: "Before nightfall tomorrow night, Dong Dacheng will return to the palace to perform his duties, and he will be able to connect with Gonggong Wu's shift. ”

Qu Yunhe's expression moved: "Do you want to use Dong Dacheng to do something on him?"

"I thought about it, but I couldn't do it. "The Tricky Nest Spider is an ordinary creature, not a spirit, and a weapon for lurking and invading, but only for eavesdropping. If you want Dong Dacheng to take it in and attack Wu Gonggong, it is too difficult. And Dong Dacheng didn't know how many people he had seen along the way back to work, how did the spider know which one was Wu Gonggong?

Don't talk about the little spider, it's just that the three people in the courtyard don't know what Grandpa Wu looks like.
