Imperial

Although there are no buildings nearby, there are some one- and two-story buildings in the distance, densely packed, and they have a sense of presence in this place where every inch of land is valuable.

Near the Imperial City are some long-established shops, at most two floors, and buildings above two floors are not allowed to exist in this area, in case anyone climbs up to overlook the palace.

But even if there is only a two-story building, standing on the window on the second floor, you can see the palace gate.

But as long as people come in and out, those with good eyesight can see the shape and appearance of these people clearly.

At this time, the lights on the first and second floors of a shop have been turned off, and a guy sighed, coiled on the couch under the window, drinking wine, and on the small table is a plate of spiced peanuts, drinking stuffy wine.

According to the rules, he is in charge of monitoring the palace gate tonight, and he must keep vigil, he can eat and drink, but he can't sleep.

"Spring is coming, I don't know how to ...... at home" The guy thought secretly, and suddenly saw a fire outside the window in a trance, and was startled, and hurriedly walked over, picking up the gap in the window and looking out.

I saw that the palace door was wide open, and black people poured out of it, all wearing armor, as if they were the palace guards.

"Something's wrong?!" Stunned at this scene, the guy who was monitoring the palace gate suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"Something must have happened, I will go and report to the prince immediately!"

The sudden uneasiness made the guy feel that this originally hidden observation site was also unsafe.

This uneasiness comes for some reason, but when they do this kind of thing, they tend to trust their instincts.

There were two other people on duty downstairs, both of whom had already slept, and the man did not pack up his things, so he pushed the door and went out.

They are all people who have some secrets, and unlike the ordinary guys in this shop, the three people who are in charge of guarding the palace gate in three shifts, including him, must not fall into the hands of the guards, otherwise they will really be dug out of their mouths, and it will be a big matter.

The corridor on the second floor was dark and quiet, and although there was more inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, the guy still stepped on the wooden floor with a slight sound and walked towards the staircase.

As he reached the top of the stairs, he hesitated.

"Why is my heart beating faster?"

I didn't feel anything wrong, but my heart was getting more and more uneasy, and the staircase leading to the bottom was like an open deep mouth, as if waiting for him to walk in.

But such a thought only just emerged, and he was pressed down by the guy, time was pressing, he really didn't have this time to be hypocritical, if he didn't retreat in time, if he was caught one, he might pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

The palace gate is still some distance from here, they will leave now, and even if the guards really come at them, it will be too late to arrive here.

As he thought so, he did not stop, and soon went downstairs, the wooden staircase was a little old, and he hurried down, and the creaking sound was made louder in the quiet of the night.

The moment his feet landed on the ground, suddenly, a cold wind blew from not far away.

"When did the windows open?" he had checked when he went upstairs before, and they were all closed properly.

The man, who was already restless, was raised in an instant.

But when he realized that the situation on the first floor was wrong, there was a "poof", and there was a heavy blow on the side, which directly knocked him out.

"Take it!" In the dark lobby on the first floor, a few black shadows gathered in an instant, and they didn't light the lights, and quietly dragged the people on the ground away.

Far Away Inn

As the night darkened, a lantern hung at the door of the inn, which meant that the inn had a door for guests.

Often at this time, the inn is closed, but if a guest returns late, he will leave a man to guard the lobby here, so as not to open the door when the guest calls.

An ox cart came from far and near on a quiet street and stopped in front of the distant inn.

Two people came down from the ox cart, one was a eunuch, not very old, only about twenty years old, and the other was dressed like a decent steward, and the latter sent the former here, still talking with him in a good voice.

"Grandpa Sun, look, is the procurement of ingredients in the palace the same as in the past? I heard that the imperial dining room was originally going to change people?"

The eunuch surnamed Sun was invited by the steward to the big restaurant for a meal, and now he is full of wine and food, and he has taken the benefits, and when he heard this, he said slowly: "This matter is easy to say, our family and the imperial dining room can also talk, as long as the filial piety is good, there is no problem." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly glanced to the side and was stunned.

"Grandpa Sun?" the steward also looked in the direction he was looking at, there was nothing, and he couldn't help but call out curiously.

"It's fine. The eunuch surnamed Sun didn't care too much and said casually.

Just now, he suddenly saw a white cat flash out of the corner of his eye.

The powerful people in the capital have more cats, that is, ordinary people, in order to catch mice, there are also many cats, and it is not uncommon to see cats on the street at night, and the eunuch surnamed Sun did not care.

"Okay, your business, let's remember, don't worry. Leaving such a sentence to the restaurant steward who bribed him, the eunuch surnamed Sun slapped the door open and entered the inn.

As a eunuch with a low grade who has just hugged his thigh for less than a year, although this eunuch surnamed Sun can indeed be a fox and a tiger now, the money in his hand is not enough to buy a real estate in the capital, so he will live in the inn if he doesn't have time to go back.

As a eunuch in the palace, the shopkeeper of the big inn in the capital did not dare to offend easily, the house prepared for him was the upper room, and when he entered the house, the furnishings were quite elegant, it can be seen that in order to make this father-in-law not hold a grudge, the innkeeper was attentive, but these are not as good as the silver tickets that the eunuch took out from his sleeve to make him like.

"Huh, what is this?"

After sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, the eunuch surnamed Sun took out the silver tickets one by one and looked at them, all of which were the leading tickets of one hundred taels, and they were also the largest amount of silver tickets.

"The silver tickets are moving!" was almost dazzled by a few silver tickets, and suddenly, he found that there was something sandwiched between several silver tickets.

When I pulled it out, it was a note, and a few words were written on it: "Blood Cinnamon?"

What is this?

Literally, could it be that it is a medicine? Is it the wrong steward?

I just looked closely, I didn't know what was going on, and when I wondered, I only heard a "boom", a loud bang on the door, and the next moment, a group of people full of evil spirit poured into the door when I kicked open the door.

At a glance, he saw that he was dressed in official clothes, with fish patterns, and a long knife at his waist, this was the emperor's guard, and Eunuch Sun was shocked: "What are you doing?"

This kind of situation made him feel bad subconsciously, could it be that he was found out about accepting bribes? But where would such a thing make people treat him like this?

"I'm Gonggong Qin's godson!" Eunuch Sun screamed, he was a person in the system, and he knew very well that what hole cards there were, and calling them out directly was the king.

If you are escorted, you are often ready to send an arrow and have to be issued, and the law enforcement agencies have their own face and majesty, and it is impossible to let it go easily!
