At this time, Liu Zhong was pinched by the iron pliers stretched out by the opponent and rolled his eyes. He stuck out his tongue and retched, but he couldn't breathe much air at all. Even though he scratched and kicked desperately, he couldn't break away from the opponent's thick and powerful pair. of iron arms.
The black shadow tried hard to strangle this person who shouldn't be there, and couldn't let him make any loud noises, let alone shout out, so that the prey on the bed could find him, so he used all his strength to kill him as soon as possible. This waste.
"Little Zhongzi... died of sleep???"
Zhu Cihuan got up on the bed and got impatient. He called her twice, but the slave was indifferent and kept silent. He must be sleeping secretly again. This kind of thing has happened many times. He is young but very smart. Zhu Cihuan can guess it with just a little thought.
The Fifth Prince has always been kind to this kind of lazy slave. He has not severely criticized or even asked others to discipline him. However, everything has a tolerance. If this slave makes mistakes again and again, then he must be punished. Recognize the mistakes you have made.
There was no reply yet. Zhu Cihuan, who was wearing wet trousers, was no longer sleepy at all. He angrily punched the quilt next to him with his small fist twice to show his anger, and turned his head towards the door with his unhappy face.
"..."
I saw that Xiao Zhongzi had been lifted into the air by a burly black shadow. His legs were still kicking, but he was like a fish that was about to get dehydrated. He didn't have much energy to struggle anymore, and his struggle was about to stop abruptly. .
This frightened Zhu Cihuan. There was a thief entering the palace to commit murder. How could he resist? He hurriedly shouted to call the guards outside the courtyard: "Here comes someone..."
Heiying was suddenly startled when he saw that his prey had woken up and started shouting. Even if today's trip was in vain, although one move would be enough to deal with the prince, it would still take a lot of time to get back and forth.
He was right by the window, and he could get out immediately by just running away. If you insist on killing the prince, the guards outside the courtyard will rush in after yawning after hearing the news. Then it will be difficult for you to escape, and it is more important to save your life.
The black shadow simply chose to give up the assassination, escaped from the window, turned over to the front of the house, climbed up the three-meter-high courtyard wall with only two strong steps, and left before the guards arrived.
In less than ten seconds, the eunuchs, maids and guards who heard the shouts ran out from outside the courtyard and other rooms in the courtyard. Even Concubine Tian got dressed in less than a minute and came out to see what was going on.
"Brother Huan, what happened?"
Concubine Tian looked at her son standing at the door in confusion. She came out when she heard the noise outside and had no idea what happened.
"Mother, concubine, a thief broke into the child's room just now. He wanted to do something wrong and has already strangled the little loyal child until he passed out!"
Zhu Cihuan is still a four-year-old child. It is very rare not to be frightened when encountering such a thing. He still remembers calling for outsiders to protect him. Now he is so frightened that his face is pale and his heart is beating wildly. .
"...Brother Huan, are you okay? Where is the thief?"
Concubine Tian was frightened by this, and hurriedly came over to ask for her welfare. She was afraid that her precious son would be harmed at all. Her second son was her husband's favorite, and she must not make any mistakes.
"Concubine, the child is fine. It's just that the thief jumped out of the window and ran away. The child's whereabouts are unknown!"
Zhu Cihuan felt calm after being held in his mother's arms. He truthfully told the truth about what he had witnessed. He had no control over the matter of catching the thief.
"My baby is fine, just fine!" Tian Guifei, who was about to cry, touched her son's little face with her jade hands. Her concern was beyond words. She looked carefully and saw that her son seemed to be fine, so she felt relieved.
God has finally blessed their mother and son to survive this calamity this time. Tomorrow, they must go to the temple to burn some incense and pay homage. They will also give the master some silver coins and do a good calculation to see if they can turn the bad luck into good luck and eliminate the disaster.
The guards found no suspicious persons in the courtyard, but the necessary searches and screenings were still continuing. As soon as Chengqian Palace made a fuss, someone immediately went to the East Palace to report. After hearing the news, Yaoji could only cheer up and go to visit.
When Yao Ji arrived, the beautiful mother also led people to the scene of the incident. One of the two parties involved was unscathed, and the other was unconscious.
The two groups of people rushed over quickly, and Concubine Tian had no choice but to step forward and apologize: "My sister can't bear to be bothered by my sister's visit in the middle of the night. Brother Hong, my aunt is really ashamed."
Although they were polite words, this was actually the case. After struggling for an hour in the middle of the night, the queen and the prince had to go to court the next day, but he didn't have to go to court and could catch up on his sleep in the palace.
Empress Zhou was very reluctant and expected something would happen to the mother and son, but her face still showed a look of deep sisterly affection: "What are you talking about, sister? The imperial city is the foundation, how can we allow thieves to commit crimes wantonly? Sister, what are you talking about?" Just send people to search around and get to the bottom of it!"
Both emotionally and rationally, we must find out why the assassin committed an attack on Tian Guifei's son. What is the hidden secret here? If the murderer is not caught this time, it will definitely be disturbed after a while when the situation calms down. There is no peace in the house.
Yao Ji looked at the snacks, it seemed that nothing was serious, and he comforted him at the right time: "It's good that my aunt and brothers are fine. I'll let the inner factory conduct a dragnet search. At present, all the gates of the imperial city are closed, and the thieves must have wings. It is impossible to escape, and he will still be lurking in the corner, waiting for opportunities. If he gives up here, it will encourage his arrogance, and this case must not be allowed."
As the prince, Yaoji wanted to know why the other party would assassinate the fifth prince alone, what was his motivation and purpose, and if he failed this time, would the target of the next action be the same person? If it were changed, then he would It’s harder to guard against.
So he asked Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the inner factory, to send people to carefully search the room where the incident occurred to see if any clues could be found, preferably evidence about the assassin. However, this possibility was very small, so I could only try it. look.
Yaoji walked up to Liu Zhong who was still in a coma, leaned down on his chest and listened carefully. The heartbeat was normal, and he felt his breath, which showed that this guy came back with a life. This is an important certification. , probably saw the face of the assassin.
Zhu Cihuan was actually a witness, but it was unrealistic to expect to get any valuable clues from a four-year-old child. It would be better to try to wake up Liu Zhong, maybe this guy could really see some of the other party's distinguishing features.
"Come on, two people, blow into your mouth and press your chest hard!"
Yaoji pointed two little eunuchs over and taught them how to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Then he began to torment Liu Zhong. No matter whether it worked or not, he had to undergo a course of treatment first. If he woke up early, it would be of great help in solving the case.
Li Fengxiang quickly came out of the room, holding a black handkerchief in his hand: "Your Highness, I found this thing by the window!"
It may be evidence, it may not be, it may be from Liu Zhong, or it may be from the murderer.
Verification is also very simple. Yaoji asked someone to search Liu Zhong's front and took out a blue handkerchief. Obviously, if nothing happened, a person would not be carrying two handkerchiefs, otherwise it would be a certain woman with mysophobia. Seated.
Yaoji put the evidence on a piece of paper and told Li Fengxiang: "Bring Fengchi and Diansha over here, take my token, and ask all the eunuchs in the palace to gather in the open space! "
"Wind Chi" and "Dian Shu" are two adult large dogs. They are the descendants of the purebred German shepherd dogs brought by the warlocks from the Holy Roman Empire as a gift to the emperor.
When the scapegoat was in power, the prince was not allowed to touch the dogs for fear of being infected by the disease. But it's okay now. Yaoji likes them very much and lets them guard the gate of the East Palace as door gods.
Raising a dog for a thousand days, using a dog for a while to serve you delicious food and drinks. Now it’s time to show off your skills. Don’t tell me that you can’t smell the smell on the handkerchief, otherwise I’ll make you two stew in hot pot!
Yaoji looked at the bruises on Liu Zhong's neck. Judging from the strength of his lower hand and the fingerprints, the murderer should be a man, or a woman with broad hands. She must know some martial arts, otherwise it would be impossible to kill the teenage boy. The eunuch was restrained.
Since the murderer is probably still hiding in the back mansion, Yaoji will not let two German shepherds track him down. He will directly call all the eunuchs and smell them one by one. At this time, you have to trust the sensitivity of the dog's nose.
As long as this handkerchief belongs to the murderer and he deliberately blends in with the crowd, there is no need to worry about not being able to find him.
If he is not among the eunuchs being screened, he will be suspected just by looking at who is missing. After daybreak, he will have to dig three feet into the ground to find him.
sleep?
nonexistent!
No one can sleep tonight!
I have exhausted my energy. No matter how sleepy you are, you have to endure it for me.
If you find it, just look for it. If you can't find it, keep looking until you find it.
Yao Ji didn't believe that there were people who really used the imperial city as a toilet. They could come and leave whenever they wanted. Wouldn't his own life be in danger?
There are only two possibilities for the murderer. One is a master. He comes like a shadow and goes like the wind, making it difficult for ordinary people to detect. The other type is that gangs commit crimes, with a clear division of labor. Some people stand guard, some people investigate, and some people deal with the aftermath. The person who sneaks in is responsible for committing the crime.
The latter is more likely, but as long as one person is captured, he can tear out the sheep's intestines and pull out a lot of them. If he wants to come out alive after entering the inner factory, he can only tell the truth everything he knows, otherwise what is the meaning of it? Life was worse than death, one soon found out.
Just when Yaoji was planning how to catch the murderer as soon as possible, a young eunuch rushed in and reported: "Your Highness, it's bad, the Yongshou Palace is in trouble!"
Including Queen Zhou and Concubine Tian, everyone was shocked when they heard that Yongshou Palace was only separated by a wall from Kunning Palace. If the flames were blown by the wind to Kunning Palace, the situation would be bad.
When Yaoji heard the report, he was startled at first, and then sneered to himself: "Say to the east and attack in the west? To lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Then he reminded the frightened and beautiful mother: "Don't worry, mother. This must be a thief's trick to divert our attention. The child has already sent people to place buckets of water and sand in front of each palace. Whether it is a wood fire or an oil fire, as long as it is If discovered in time, it will be effectively controlled. As long as everyone treats it calmly, the thief's plan will definitely fail."
Light it. If you don't light a fire, I am in the light and you are in the dark. I don't know what you are going to do yet. Now it's better. In addition to assassination, arson and drugging, if you have any other skills, just use them.
I originally wanted to find an excuse for everyone to stay up and stay awake to catch the thief, but now I don’t even have to think about it.
Soon, everyone saw a bright light rising in the direction of Yongshou Palace. It must be the light caused by the rising flames. If it can reach this level, the fire will definitely not be small. The only way to make the fire expand rapidly in a short time is The solution is to use oil.
If the Yongshou Palace burns down, it doesn't matter. At worst, we need to build another one. As long as the Kunning Palace where the beautiful mother lives is fine, that's fine.
I have many palaces. How many can you order? If you have the guts, keep going!
Even if even the imperial city was burned down by a fire, the worst possible outcome would be to find a place to rebuild it, to build a bigger, more beautiful, and more gorgeous one.
Considering the urgency of the fire, Li Fengxiang stepped forward and asked for instructions in a low voice: "Your Highness, there are servants who are putting out the fire..."
At this time, if the chamberlain was allowed to undergo inspection, the Yongshou Palace would really be burned down, and no one could bear the responsibility.
Yao Ji didn't take this matter to heart at all, and said calmly: "They don't need to save them, let the palace maids put out the fire. Whatever happens to Yongshou Palace, they are not responsible. Their current task is to accept a comprehensive search, and don't do anything for it. It's a small loss but a big loss. The life of the royal family is far more important than a palace. It is urgent to find the murderer!"
Once there is a murderer mixed in, and it is burned by the smoke and fire for a long time, so that the wolves and dogs cannot smell it, then it is bad, so even if a palace is abandoned, the murderer must be found.
He felt that this was not appropriate, and then added: "Before dawn, the palace door is not allowed to be opened. After dawn, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without a token from the palace, including those who transport filth. After dawn , search every corner, not to mention the palace, even rockeries and ponds, we have to send people down to search carefully! I don’t believe that such a huge rear mansion can allow a thief to disturb the whole place!"
Madan!
In my territory, if you want to run away after doing one job, there is no way!
Do you really think you have braids?
Show him secretly to my younger brother for a while, then hide and play hide and seek.
Okay, let's play and see who beats who to death in the end!
I can even postpone the court meeting and let the wolves and dogs sniff around. I don't believe that I can't catch you, you idiot!
I will give you one chance. If you fail to grasp it, it is your fault.
If you don’t punish me to death, I will punish you to death!
Anyone who dares to take the initiative to die in front of me, then I will simply let you do it!
"Woof woof woof..."
"Mother, the child is afraid!"
Seeing the barking big wolf dog, Zhu Cihuan was so frightened that he hid behind Concubine Tian.
When Yaoji saw this, he smiled comfortingly and said: "Don't be afraid, fifth brother, I am playing a game with the thief. The name of the game is 'Truth or Dare'!"
You can tell whether you are telling the truth or a lie. I would like to know which eunuchs will choose the "big adventure" in the end...
