Just when Han Bing went to Jingzhao Mansion to sound the drum of grievances and disturb a delicious breakfast of Lord Yin Duan of the Mansion, Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards, was also asking for an audience outside the Cuihan Pavilion, interrupting His Majesty the Emperor's more delicious breakfast.

Ever since he learned from Han Bing's mouth yesterday that someone had died in Jishi Temple, Zhu Mo secretly suspected that those dead might be his deputy commander Chi Nian and others.

He wanted to rush to Jishi Temple to find out what was going on, but at that time, he was under the emperor's order, and he wanted to use the Heavenly Poison to find out whether Han Bing was a hidden person.

With Zhu Mo's usual style of acting, it is natural that everything must be given priority by the Holy Order, and it must not be neglected in the slightest.

In order to ensure that the results of the examination were foolproof, he not only watched Han Bing drink three cups of poisoned wine mixed with heavenly poison, but also drank two cups of poisoned wine with Han Bing himself in order to confirm that the poison of the pot of poisoned wine was effective enough.

After completely ruling out the possibility that Han Bing was a hermit, he hurried back to the palace to report to the emperor.

As a result, as soon as the emperor heard that Han Bing drank three glasses of poisonous wine in a row and was unharmed, he remained gloomy and silent, and turned a deaf ear to Zhu Mo's subsequent report of the murder in Jishi Temple.

Zhu Mo originally had the intention to ask the emperor for his life, and went to Jishi Temple to further verify the murder case that Han Bing said, but the emperor didn't give him that chance at all, and directly waved his hand to let him retreat first.

Out of the Cuihan Pavilion, Zhu Mo stood outside the palace gate for a while, but suddenly realized that the reason why the emperor didn't let him continue to talk was because his words and deeds were too reckless!

There was a murder in Jishi Temple, and the deceased may have been the Ouchi guards, and these Ouchi guards were called by Zheng Yong privately.

- These things actually come from the mouth of the ice.

And that cold ice, at first glance, is a scheming and cunning person, and what he said will inevitably be untrue.

As the commander of the guards, his first duty is to guard the palace and ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor.

How could he recklessly ask the emperor for his life because he believed the young man's unfounded words and went to Jishi Temple to verify the so-called truth?

And what he should really do at this moment is to find out where the deputy commander Chi Nian went. In addition, are there any other guards like this deputy commander, who did not enter the palace for no reason.

Thinking of this, Zhu Mo was just about to leave the Cuihan Pavilion in a move, but suddenly felt a discomfort in his chest and abdomen, and then spit out a large mouthful of blood!

Only then did he remember that the natural poison in him had not yet been expelled from his body.

So, he had to tell another deputy commander to investigate the matter of Chi Nian first, while he himself returned to his residence and concentrated on detoxification.

After a whole night of hard work, Zhu Mo was able to eliminate the natural poison in his body.

He couldn't help but secretly regret that he should not have underestimated the toxicity of the Heavenly Poison and failed to control it in time, so that he had spent so much time making up for the harm caused by this negligence.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if Han Bing's situation was not much better than his own. Although this young man's martial arts should be above himself, after all, he drank one more glass of poisonous wine than himself, and the toxicity was naturally deeper, and he might be lying on the bed and vomiting blood at the moment.

Who knew that just a trace of schadenfreude arose in Zhu Mo's heart, and he was completely disturbed by a very bad news-

It has been verified, plus the deputy commander in his late years, a total of thirty Ouchi guards have disappeared for no reason.

Thirty!

It's exactly the number that the ice said.

It seems that he, the commander of the guards, must go to Jishi Temple.

However, this matter must be reported to the emperor first, and the emperor's permission must be obtained. Otherwise, without the Holy Decree, he, the commander of the guards, would not have the right to disturb the Protector Temple.

Although the hour was still early, Zhu Mo couldn't wait. Because he clearly remembered that Han Bing had said that just today, Jishi Temple would cremate all the bodies of those dead.

Although Emperor Haoxing Xiaoqi's face was not good, he still gave him enough face as the commander of the guards, and he didn't even use breakfast, so he summoned him alone in the Cuihan Pavilion.

After listening to him explain the situation, Haoxing Xiaoqi pondered for a long time, and said: "Since you already have some suspicions, then go and find out." It's just that it's a matter of internal affairs, and it's not appropriate to publicize it to the outside world, so you can go alone. ”

Zhu Mo responded, and Fang was about to take the order to retreat, but he didn't expect to be stopped by the emperor again.

"Zhu Mo, if it is finally confirmed, those people are indeed the Ouchi guards-"

Haoxing Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment before continuing: "You must not reveal their identities to the monks in Jishi Temple. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhu Mo had actually guessed a long time ago that there should be something else in this matter. He originally thought that it was just Zheng Yong behind his back, but now it seems that the emperor must have known about it.

It's just that the emperor ordered him like this, in addition to the intention of maintaining the dignity of the royal family, I am afraid that he also has the intention of protecting Zheng Yong.

Zhu Mo couldn't help but sigh secretly, bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

As soon as he came out of the Cuihan Pavilion, Zhu Mo saw Zheng Yongzheng standing not far away with a smirk on his face, and he wanted to leave with him casually, but who knew that the old eunuch came forward with small steps.

"Commander Zhu is really early! Our family just went to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come to Cuihan Pavilion. ”

"Zhu has something important to do, so he came to ask the emperor for advice. I don't know what my father-in-law is doing to find Zhu?"

Although he tried his best to slow down his tone, Zhu Mo's voice still couldn't help but reveal a trace of coldness.

Zheng Yong squinted his eyes, but still said with a smile: "There is something that our family wanted to explain to Commander Zhu yesterday, but who knew that he was stopped by Prince Ding to speak, and he turned his head and forgot about finding Commander Zhu."

Alas, the older it is, in the end, not better than when it was younger. This habit of forgetting things is getting worse and worse!"

Although Zhu Mo is not friendly with the chief of the inner house on weekdays, he is still waiting by the emperor's side after all, bowing his head and not looking up, and he is always passable in face.

At this moment, although he was in a hurry to go to Jishi Temple to find someone, he couldn't be too rude to this pestering old eunuch, so he had to listen patiently to him and continue to gossip, but a pair of thick eyebrows wrinkled unconsciously.

"My father-in-law has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, for such a trivial matter as being too late, Zhu will not care about it. ”

Zheng Yong suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, "So very good! So very good! Our family just wanted to tell Commander Zhu that the day before yesterday, our family went to the Loyalty League for the emperor to deliver the decree, but unexpectedly, an assassin on the road wanted to snatch the holy decree.

In order to ensure that the holy decree is not lost, our family called thirty internal guards who were not on duty in the palace to protect each other along the way. It's just that we were in a hurry at that time, and our family actually forgot to inform Commander Zhu, which is really unruly, and I hope that Commander Zhu can take care of one or two!"

Zhu Mo's deep eyes flashed sharply, and he asked, "Did the thirty Ouchi guards go back to the palace with their father-in-law afterwards?"

"It's-"

Zheng Yong deliberately hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and said, "Halfway through, that assassin appeared again to snatch the Holy Decree, and was surrounded and entangled by Deputy Commander Chi. At that time, our family was afraid of delaying the matter of the decree, so we rushed to the Zhongyi League first.

Who knows, until our family has passed on the will, we have not seen the deputy commander Chi to follow. So our family went back the same way, but we still didn't see the figure of Deputy Chi leading them.

Although our family thought it was strange at the time, they didn't think much about it, thinking that there should be no big incident when many of them were together.

Besides, when our family sees the deputy commander Chi on weekdays, he is also the same as Commander Zhu, he is an extremely old and serious person, and he will not act recklessly and fall into the trap of the other party.

So our family went back to the palace on their own. After arriving in the palace, our family wanted to ask Deputy Commander Chi if they had returned safely, but they were distracted by another matter.

At that time, our family suddenly received an extremely important news, someone reported that Han Bing, the son of Zuo Xiang, was a hermit.

The stakes are very high, and our family hurriedly reported the news to the emperor. Then he followed the emperor's instructions and personally went to verify the matter. As a result, in a hurry, they forgot about the affairs of Deputy Chi Commander and them.

It wasn't until last night that our family remembered this again. As a result, after sending someone to ask, I learned that Deputy Commander Chi had not returned to the palace.

When we heard this, we were also very disturbed. Therefore, I went to look for Commander Zhu early in the morning, and I want to ask if there is any news about Deputy Commander Chi?"

Zhu Mo would not believe the old eunuch's nonsense, but one thing he was sure of was that the so-called assassins who died in Jishi Temple must be Chi Nian and others.

As for why they broke into Jishi Temple in his later years, he will go to find out clearly. When the time comes, this old eunuch who is accustomed to talking about it will become speechless!
