10. The emperor is seriously ill
"Chen Mo? It sounds familiar..."
Li Yan thought for a moment and said: "The person who was sucked by the fox demon some time ago and is still alive by luck seems to be named Chen Mo."
"It's him. Let me find him a chick to remove his bad luck." Wang Sheng knew.
"Why is Mr. Li so curious about Jin Yiwei? It's better for us to have less contact with people like this." said an official from the Ministry of Punishment.
"I don't know, I always feel like this person is somehow involved with me."
Li Yan was also a little confused. When he first saw that person in Beizhen Fusi, he remembered that face.
"Master Li, don't say this nonsense. It's not a good thing to be involved with Jin Yiwei." Someone said.
……
The White Jade Tavern is called Tavern.
But the scale is bigger than a restaurant.
It is rumored that the history of the White Jade Tavern is longer than that of the Chu Kingdom. The White Jade Tavern existed when the previous dynasty was still there, and its wine "Immortal Drunk" is one of the best in Beijing.
Legend has it that when the old swordsman from Kunlun Temple first came to the capital, he drank a bowl of wine at the White Jade Tavern and became drunk, so the wine got the name of Immortal Drunk.
The tavern was almost full of people, and there were more than a dozen tables in the large lobby on the first floor of the tavern.
The sound on the first floor is very noisy.
There are vulgar people who are on the rise. These people put one foot on the ground and the other on the stool, punch loudly, talk obscenely, and make a lot of noise.
The second floor is much better. Most of the people here are wearing brocade clothes and jade robes, and they are talking about national affairs.
"Some time ago, there was a fox demon in Zijin Tower who harmed people. Yi Pianpian, one of the three golden flowers, turned out to be a fox demon. Yi Pianpian has been in Zijin Tower for almost two years. For such a long time, Jin Yiwei has no choice.
It was discovered that if Li Kuan hadn’t been sucked to death and died, I don’t know how long it would have taken.”
"Yes, the capital is not at peace these days. Three years ago, the palace was stolen. More than a month ago, Han Zhen rebelled, and many officials in the court were implicated. The Holy Emperor was furious and implicated thousands of people. In the past two days,
The Holy One is still ill."
"Your Majesty is ill?"
"You don't know?" A man took a sip of wine and said: "I heard that the Holy Emperor and his ministers went out of the palace to inspect the people's situation. The capital had not even left the palace before he fainted. After returning to the palace, he fell ill and did not take medicine.
Well, many imperial doctors have died."
"No, I heard that because of this incident, the prince who was in charge of the ceremony got so angry that he made the guards under him go crazy to search for panacea and miracle doctor."
"The prince is really loyal."
"You know what the heck, two years ago, Mr. Jiang, the commander of the Dongcheng Army and Horses Division, and Mr. Liu, the right deputy imperial envoy, participated in the twenty-first crime of Eunuch Wang. Not only was Eunuch Wang fine, but Mr. Liu resigned from his position. Mr. Jiang
Why was he demoted? His Majesty favored him. But His Majesty is seriously ill now. If something unexpected happens, it is hard to say what the future of the prince will be if the day changes."
"No, right now, the prince, he is just a little widow looking at the sedan chair in a hurry."
"Shh, keep your voice down. If Jin Yiwei hears it, it will be terrible."
"Tch, you think I'm afraid of Jin Yiwei."
After saying this, his voice became quieter.
Chen Mo, who was sitting at the window, skillfully took it into his arms and wanted to write down these words in the impermanent book, but suddenly remembered that he was wearing casual clothes and he had already left the office.
It’s better to stop meddling in other people’s business.
Ten days have passed since that night in Jiaofangsi.
I don’t know if Chen Mo was overthinking it, or because Emperor Xuanhe fell ill two days ago, but no trouble came after he slept with Jiang Qi.
There is no prompt from the system.
It seems that the fact that he slept with Jiang Qi was not a disaster.
These days, almost every day after work, he would sit in this place and look at the locust tree not far away without a single leaf.
After these days of observation, Chen Mo is basically sure that there is nothing abnormal here.
It seems that Jiang Qi didn’t tell anyone about the thing hidden under the locust tree.
I am too cautious.
But Chen Mo hasn't moved now.
Instead, he asked the waiter for a side dish.
The sky is getting darker.
The White Jade Tavern is closed for business at night.
As the White Jade Tavern closed, there were far fewer pedestrians in this area.
Chen Mo hid in a corner and waited until there were no more people in sight before walking towards the locust tree.
Taking out the shovel that had been hidden nearby, Chen Mo started digging.
But after digging for a while, nothing was found.
When I was wondering if Jiang Qi was lying to me.
Chen Mo suddenly remembered something.
He came to the door of Baiyu Tavern, walked three hundred steps to the right, and then walked a hundred steps to the left. Then he looked down at his feet, which was still about ten feet away from the locust tree.
But it doesn’t seem wrong to say under the tree.
Chen Mo glanced around and started digging when he saw no one was there.
Soon, the shovel dug something.
Although it was dark here, as a seventh-level warrior, he could still see things clearly with the help of the light in the distance.
This is an iron box with a lock on the outside.
But this is easy for Chen Mo.
He forced the lock open and opened the iron box. Inside was something wrapped in oil paper.
Chen Mo didn't look again, picked it up and put it in his arms, then took out the iron box, just when he was about to bury the pothole.
"Who is there?" A shout came from behind Chen Mo.
Chen Mo subconsciously tightened the shovel in his hand.
"Come out!"
The sound of drawing a sword.
Chen Mo frowned, and then a bright light came on.
He slowly turned around and saw two officers and soldiers holding lanterns and official swords, looking at him warily.
And on the lantern, there are the words "Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division" written on it.
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division is responsible for patrolling the capital.
When Chen Mo saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the officers and soldiers raised the lantern, and the light gradually shone into the darkness.
Just when he was about to illuminate Chen Mo's face, Chen Mo pressed the shovel against the lantern.
The two officers and soldiers suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they could not help but tighten their grip on the official swords in their hands.
Until Chen Mo took out a waist card.
"Jin Yiwei is handling the case!" Cold words spat out from Chen Mo's mouth.
"Dang!"
One of the officers and soldiers shook his hand and dropped the lantern to the ground in fright. After picking up the lantern in a panic, he and the officer and soldier next to him held the official hats on their heads and ran away in a panic.
[On May 2nd of the third year of Xuanhe, you were discovered by patrolmen from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division for being sneaky. You promptly revealed your identity as a Jinyiwei and avoided being arrested and discovered by the Wucheng Army and Horsemen Division.
Secret, escaped a disaster, gained attribute point 1.】
"The identity of Jinyiwei is sometimes quite useful." After murmuring, Chen Mo put away his waist badge, and after cleaning up the scene, Chen Mo picked up the iron box and quickly left the place with a shovel.
