Chapter 107: Enter the Palace
If it weren't for the fact that compiling history books required searching for information in some academies of Taiji Palace, Zhang Xuanzhao would not be qualified to enter the palace.
The guard battalion of the town border army on duty at Chengtianmen stopped the carriage, and Zhang Xuanzhao took out the token specially issued by Prime Minister Yan Danqing and handed it over, because in the past few days, Zhang Xuanzhao has to enter and exit Chengtianmen several times a day, and these soldiers already know him, and checking the token is just a routine.
"Master Zhang, it's the first time I've always arrived, it's really hard!"
That soldier didn't feel embarrassed about this conscientious Master Zhang.
"Where, where! The lower officials are just doing their duty, if you want to say that it is hard, it is still the hard work of our brothers in the guard camp!"
"Haha, Master Zhang has always been so polite, it seems that Lord Zhang's ascension is just around the corner!"
The soldier said as he let the wagon go.
......
After the carriage was parked at the designated location, Li Xiaobai pretended to be Zhang Xuanzhao's personal servant, followed for a while, and hid in the corner of the wall when no one was paying attention, according to the map drawn by Zhang Xuanzhao, Li Xiaobai relied on his memory to touch the northwest corner of Taiji Palace, because the time was very early, and he did not meet anyone, Li Xiaobai came to this remote and uninhabited palace very smoothly, but he didn't know which one was the academy that Zhang Xuanzhao said.
As the sky got brighter and brighter, there were more people walking around the palace, Li Xiaobai didn't dare to walk around casually anymore, so he searched these courtyards nearby, fortunately, this place was really very remote, plus it was the Tibetan Academy in the time of Wuzong, and no one came here, and the little yellow bird has been following Li Xiaobai and giving him wind in the sky.
......
In the evening, Zhang Xuanzhao had to work overtime as always, but he first took a leave of absence with Lord Shilang.
"My lord, I suddenly remembered that I had left a few books at home, and now I want to go home and get them, and I will return immediately. ”
Lord Ma looked at the humble Zhang Xuanzhao, and he also liked this person quite a lot.
"Okay, Master Zhang can rest at home for a while, don't worry. ”
As he spoke, he opened a temporary pass for Miyagi Night and handed it to Zhang Xuanzhao.
"Don't dare, don't dare!
After Zhang Xuanzhao thanked the squire Ma-sama, he went out and left Miyagi in a carriage.
......
In fact, Zhang Xuanzhao made this trip to bring Wen Wan and Wen Wen into the palace, and he was worried that he would have a long night and many dreams, so he didn't dare to delay.
After returning home, I took a few books in the study and drank a cup of tea, Wen Wan and Wen Wen appeared, and the three of them got into the carriage together and entered the palace smoothly.
Under the leadership of Xiao Huangque, Wen Wan and Wen Wen found Li Xiaobai's hiding place, a small courtyard that was close to desertion, and the five or six rooms in it were full of books, but every bookshelf was covered with dust, and the three of them could only find it slowly.
......
Zhang Xuanzhao worked overtime until about three watches before going home, got out of the carriage, and went to the study first according to the previous habits, the maid had already prepared a supper, Zhang Xuanzhao simply ate a little, thinking back on the events of the past two days, a little stunned. Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside, and Zhang Xuanzhao hurriedly swallowed a wax pill at the collar and pressed it under his tongue.
With the sound of chaotic footsteps, the door of the study opened, and Mrs. Wang walked in, followed by a man in black with a sword.
"Zhang Xuanzhao, have you done anything good in the past two days?"
Wang looked at Zhang Xuanzhao and said with a sneer.
"I don't understand what you mean! Who is this person? Breaking into the official's mansion for no reason, aren't you afraid of the king's law?"
Zhang Xuanzhao looked at this arrogant lady, and didn't know what was wrong before it would be exposed.
The man in black didn't speak, walked to Zhang Xuanzhao's side, and sat down directly, but it was Mrs. Wang, who was still aggressive.
Don't think that the old lady doesn't know about your fancy intestines, why did you spend the night in the study when you came back last night? Why did you suddenly go back to the house tonight? Do you want to explain these things to this master of the internal guard?"
Sure enough, it was Xiao Chaotian's internal guard, Zhang Xuanzhao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the general trend had gone at this time, and he didn't want to explain more.
"If you are a little abnormal, you can't escape the eyes of the old lady, knowing that you have been sneaking around all these years and doing things behind people's backs!"
Wang is still unrelenting.
Zhang Xuanzhao stood up and stopped his wife Wang.
"Okay! You shrew, you are not greedy enough! Over the years, you have disliked me as being as good as the second-grade senior member of your eldest sister's family, who is good at speculative franchises and prominent officials!
Zhang Xuanzhao pointed at the Wang family and scolded.
"Over the years, I have been conscientious, but you have regarded the humility and kindness of others as a ...... of abuse"
The black-clad guard interrupted Zhang's call.
"Okay, Lord Zhang! You don't have to nag about these things in your family, you can explain the events of the past two days, if you can atone for your sins, I will intercede for you, maybe after making a great contribution, you can also be added to the rank of knight!"
The black-clothed guard just said what Mrs. Wang's heart thought, and understood Zhang Xuanzhao's temper, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Zhang Xuanzhao, this adult has said it so clearly, if you don't seize this opportunity, a great future is just around the corner......"
Zhang Xuanzhao looked at his wife Wang indifferently, and then showed a mocking smile at the black-clothed guard.
"Hahaha! I declare this life, I have no shame for others and no regrets for myself!
As he spoke, Zhang Xuanzhao bit it, the wax pill that he spit out just now before Mrs. Wang and the black-clothed guards entered the door, this was the poison prepared by Wang Qianhe, the poison was extremely fast, just in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xuanzhao's face turned black, and he died of blood.
The black-clothed guard didn't expect Zhang Xuanzhao to be so resolute, and he was so angry that he kicked out the door of his wife, Wang, who had lost his soul, and shouted angrily.
"Someone!"
Hearing the shout, four internal guards immediately rushed in.
"Search!"
The black-clothed guard gritted his teeth and said, although he knew that there would be nothing to gain, he was helpless.
......
In the end, he didn't find any clues in the study, and the black-clothed guard knew that he would definitely be punished when he went back, and he had nowhere to vent his anger.
"Take everyone back and torture them!"
The black-clothed guard sighed and walked out, and he didn't know who he had been in contact with in the past two days, and he didn't know where these people had gone, in case he followed Zhang Xuanzhao into the palace......
The black-clothed guards fought a cold war, I really can't imagine it!
The last time Mrs. Allure was concerned, not only the sword guards at the scene, including the internal guards who were responsible for monitoring Mrs. Allure, and all of them were beheaded.
......
Li Xiaobai, Wen Wan, and Wen Wen kept looking for clues about the Wuzong incident in that Tibetan Academy, and for some reason, the palace suddenly became heavily guarded, and there were many soldiers from the guard battalion searching everywhere. Fortunately, it's just that Xiao Chaotian often searched the places strictly, and someone from the Tibetan Academy where Li Xiaobai and the three of them were located also came, and they didn't search carefully.
Yang Qianzhong and his killers also discovered the abnormality in the palace, so they had to be more cautious!
