Kyoto Prefecture Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study Room.

Chu Boxiong slowly closed the two documents in front of him.

"Deng Yue... actually escaped from prison." As he said this, he pushed a document in front of Hou Sizheng.

Hou Sizheng did not take the document. He knew that the man in front of him was asking for his own explanation.

"The old slave feels that it is inevitable that Deng Yue will escape from prison."

Chu Boxiong looked at the old eunuch in front of him who had been with him for more than thirty years, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"How to say?"

"This Deng Yue was originally the most powerful general in North Korea. When the North Korean emperor died mysteriously and the young emperor succeeded to the throne, the Queen Mother's party took the opportunity to monopolize power. The first one used this method to arrest Deng Yue. But why was he just imprisoned and not killed?

, just don’t know, think about it

There must be some stakes involved, and Deng Yue is the owner of Baek Fong Tang. After Deng Yue was imprisoned, Baek Feng Tang, the number one killer organization in North Korea, disappeared. There are also rumors in the world that Baek Feng Tang was also brutally killed by the Queen Mother of North Korea.

The poisonous hand of the party."

Hou Sizheng paused for a moment, looked up at Chu Boxiong's face, and found that there was nothing strange about him, so he continued.

"Recently, high-ranking officials in North Korea have been killed one after another. Judging from the methods, Baifengtang should be responsible for it. Since Baifengtang has already begun to take action, Deng Yue's escape should be understandable."

Chu Boxiong smiled faintly, with a hint of sternness in his eyes.

"You know a lot. You even know the current situation in North Korea. It seems that you heard a lot around me."

After hearing what Chu Boxiong said, Hou Sizheng's heart tightened. He knew that he had said too much, so his face turned red and he immediately knelt down.

"I don't dare. I just stayed with His Majesty day and night, and I was influenced by what I heard and saw. Those words just now were all my own guesses. I deserve to die. I deserve to die."

"Huh? Are you guilty? What crime are you guilty of?" Chu Boxiong glanced at Hou Sizheng who was kneeling in front of him and asked.

"Old slave...Old slave is guilty of talking nonsense." After hearing Chu Boxiong's question, Hou Sizheng's face became even more ugly.

Chu Boxiong shook his head and said: "You are not talking nonsense, so why are you guilty?"

"Old slave..." Hou Sizheng was told by Chu Boxiong that he didn't know how to continue. Although Chu Boxiong said that he was not guilty,

But Hou Sizheng knew that if he followed Chu Boxiong's wishes and said that he was not guilty, then the sin would be huge.

The emperor said that you are not guilty, but you are just trying your attitude. If you feel that you are not guilty because the emperor said so, then there is something wrong with your attitude. If you are investigated in the future, it will be a headache for you.

So Hou Sizheng kept kneeling there and kept saying, "The old slave is guilty, the old slave is guilty..."

Chu Boxiong smiled helplessly, and then said to Hou Sizheng: "Get up, get up, I forgive you."

Hou Sizheng then stopped mumbling and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Send a copy of this document to Prince Liang's Mansion and ask them to keep an eye on it. The North Korean envoy will come to Kyoto in one month. Don't let Deng Yue ruin things then."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it now."

When Hou Si was exiting, he happened to see someone coming to the door of the imperial study room and was about to knock on the door and enter.

"Master Twelve, you are here." Hou Sizheng said respectfully.

The man was dressed in black and wore a black mask. If Hou Sizheng hadn't known this man's identity, someone would have arrested him as a traitor.

"Well, I met Eunuch Hou."

"You're welcome, Master Twelve."

"Can you please help me, Eunuch Hou, to send a message that Twelve is here?"

"Easy to say, easy to say." Hou Sizheng agreed with a smile.

This person called Twelve is also considered an alternative in the palace. He often wears black clothes and black robes, and wears a black mask. He always gives people a murderous, cruel and cold feeling. But he knows the identity of this Twelve Lord.

Everyone knows his temperament, but unlike his clothes, he is somewhat easy to get along with, so even though he is dressed in an unusual way, he does well in the palace, especially with Hou Sizheng.

Hou Sizheng was originally a human being, and he knew the importance of the Twelve Masters around Chu Boxiong, so he also intended to make friends. After going back and forth, the two people became familiar with each other.

After a while, Hou Sizheng came out of the imperial study room again, and then said to Twelve who was waiting outside the door: "Your Majesty is waiting for Twelve Masters inside."

"Thank you, Eunuch Hou."

After thanking Hou Sizheng, Twelve entered the royal study.

"His Majesty."

"

Why are you here so early? Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

"No."

"Then what are you doing back?"

"Because I met someone."

"Who?" Only at this moment did Chu Boxiong raise his eyes and look at Twelve outside the desk.

"Qilian Jade."

"Huh? He went to Dongjie Courtyard?" Chu Boxiong frowned.

Chu Boxiong knew about Qi Lianyu's presence in Prince Liang's Mansion from the very beginning. It seemed that out of sympathy for Qi Family Village, Chu Boxiong asked Twelve to guard him secretly. But a few days ago, Twelve came over

After telling himself that Qi Lianyu had woken up, Chu Boxiong asked Twelve to withdraw from Prince Liang's Mansion.

And this time Twelve went out to find something for Chu Boxiong in the courtyard at Lane 47, East Street.

But as soon as he entered the East Street Villa, he saw Xiaoliang Wang Chuci and Qi Lianyu coming too. This place had been taken back by the City Construction Department after the murder more than a month ago. Originally, Twelve thought it would not happen.

Someone came again, but unexpectedly they met Chu Ci and Qi Lianyu.

In order not to alert others, Twelve chose to give up the search and returned to the palace to report back to Chu Boxiong.

"The young prince was also there at the time. I was afraid of disturbing the situation, so I did not continue to act."

Chu Boxiong nodded slightly. He was not afraid that Qi Lianyu would look for something in the other courtyard. After all, even he didn't know whether that thing really existed, and it was even less likely that Qi Lianyu would know about it.

"It's okay. You can just go there again when things calm down on East Street." Chu Boxiong didn't take it to heart, "Are Chu Ci and Qi Lianyu still in that other courtyard now?"

Twelve paused slightly and said, "They must have gone to Tianxiang Tower. Before they entered the other courtyard, I heard them mention Tianxiang Tower."

"Well, go down and don't forget what I told you."

"yes."

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the imperial study room, followed by a rapid knock on the door.

"Why are you so anxious?" Chu Boxiong shouted sharply.

Hou Sizheng's voice came from outside the door.
