However, he did know that he was thinking a bit long-term. He was clearly investigating the issue of the concubine escaping from the palace, so how did it now turn into the issue of the long-dead empress dowager?
But I just checked it out when I remembered it.
After walking up to him, the guard could indeed feel that the man was a little scared when facing him.
Not only was she afraid, but she also didn't dare to look him in the eyes. This must be a trap.
Something is wrong.
Something is very wrong.
Of course, this offensive didn't last even five seconds before the two factions knelt down...
After kneeling down and saying "Long live the emperor", he didn't say anything else and just knelt on the ground.
The stone slabs on the ground were wet from the rain the previous two days, and their robes were stained with dirt. So they took a step back, afraid that the water would splash on them.
"Are you feeling better now? You must answer my questions honestly. If you try to hide the truth... you understand."
"good."
As soon as this was agreed, the other side's questions came one after another, but without exception, these questions and answers were really not the Queen Mother's business.
In the end, this matter can be put on hold. The most important thing for him now is where did the two concubines escape to?
His grandmother actually dared to escape right under his nose. Are they planning to lose their lives?
"Your Majesty, swear to God, these people definitely didn't leave through the main gate. Besides, we have been guarding here for so many years, how could we dare let them out?"
Zhao Xin was just wondering whether to release it or not.
The matter he was investigating has come to light.
I have to say that this is a very profitable industry here. From time to time, someone has to come and put some silver in to ensure the safety inside. Of course, those who have money put some silver in, and those who don’t have money can only put it aside.
Nothing can be delivered into this cold palace.
Good.
But we make money together, so he can’t be left out, right?
"How is it here? Isn't it nice? Good guys are doing well, but it's hard for those people in the cold palace."
"Not yet... no... no no no."
I was just about to say that it was not bad, but thanks to the emperor’s words, I don’t know what to say next.
So I could only shake my head to refuse.
They don't have a good future or prospects in this palace, they are just a gatekeeper.
Yes, just a janitor.
"So you mean to say you doubt what I have found out?"
It was impossible to refuse or not to refuse, so he had no choice but to kneel on the ground and cry out that he was wronged.
"Unjust? What injustice do you have? The wealth you embezzled in this cold palace is enough to buy a small villa in the capital. How can this be considered unfair?"
"If I hadn't checked, I wouldn't have known you had such strong capital. How about we make money together?"
Seeing this, these people had no way to refute it. They had indeed bought a villa outside the palace.
I plan to buy a bigger one after completing this mission.
But it looked like there was no hope. If it weren't for the group of brothers who came to buy things and had the token, I probably wouldn't be able to leave, and I probably wouldn't be able to spend the money.
This guy, when something goes wrong, he tries to drag others into it, so the brother who kindly helped others with the shopping also suffered.
Just confess it to him directly.
However, most of these words were pushed towards the other side, and what was left was pitifully small.
Most of the time, if it weren't for the purchase, how could he have bought a house outside the palace? And how could he be blamed by the emperor now? Anyway, it was his fault.
Isn’t it incredible?
But this scene was far less shocking than it is now.
Anyway, this group of people insisted that it was the fault of the purchasing eunuch, but it seemed that the purchasing eunuch himself had never been summoned, and no one knew who was purchasing the materials now.
But after saying this, Zhao Xin subtly felt that Xiao Chenzi's expression next to him seemed a little strange. Looking at his face... it didn't look good. His originally gentle face became cold.
This is the first time the eunuch has had this expression.
"Why, is there something hidden?"
"Your Majesty, you...you must believe me, this eunuch who is in charge of purchasing things is definitely not that kind of person."
?
What? You're starting to insure me before I even ask anything?
Did he know that if he got angry, this little Chenzi would probably be dismissed from his position directly? Now they are tolerating him because he has only been in office for a few years.
"Do you know what you are talking about, eunuch?"
"I know... Your Majesty, I know everything."
"You protect him, do you know what the consequences are?"
If he protected the wrong person, the eunuch would be held responsible for all that person's actions. Besides, there was really no point in protecting someone for this situation.
"It's none of your business."
I have to say that this eunuch is quite persistent, but he is not stupid. He did not say much in this situation and just stood there without saying a word. The guard next to him also had something to do and did not say anything.
Something is wrong.
If the eunuch insists on protecting this person, he can probably do so. It mainly depends on the emperor's opinion.
No, no...
They must not sit and wait for death. If any problems really arise later, won't they become stepping stones for their own deaths? The more they find out, the faster they will die.
No, we have to leave the city.
They sized each other up secretly.
At this time, the emperor had already walked away, and he also realized that something was wrong with Xiao Chenzi when he was talking about the purchasing eunuch.
"Tell me, what's going on? Why are you so abnormal?"
"Your Majesty, this purchasing eunuch and I are from the same school. I have been with him for such a long time. It is impossible for him to do such a harmful thing."
They didn't say they were harming anyone.
"He took the silver out of the palace and bought them a villa. I guess he must have been greedy with the money. People change. I don't know why you are so naive now."
He doesn't need this kind of person.
"Forget it, I'll make an exception and let you ask. Naturally, I'll wait for your answer."
Then he went to the side hall. Of course, the eunuch hurried out of the cold palace and went to the kitchen to find the eunuch who was responsible for purchasing the goods. He didn't know until he asked that the eunuch had taken the money and ran away a day ago.
"Run away?"
"He ran away. Since he had the token outside the palace, he ran away. We couldn't find him, and since nothing happened, we didn't report it."
Ouch!
Ouch! This is ruined.
I was so confident that I was still thinking about saving this eunuch, but I didn't expect that the eunuch would turn around and leave me with a big surprise. I have to say that this surprise is really...
"I'm so pissed off!"
"Don't be angry, Eunuch Chen. Do you need any shopping from him?"
"No, forget it. It's hard to explain. It was His Majesty who was looking for him. Now that he's escaped, he's considered a fugitive. That's not a very good charge."
The emperor knows?
