"We found out that there was a traitor to the former dynasty hiding in Huayang Temple. The evil Taoist in the Taoist temple personally confessed that he had colluded with loyal officials in the capital. The emperor takes this very seriously."
When Zhang Sheng mentioned the words "Huayang Temple", Eunuch Liu's eyebrows jumped hard, and sure enough, he heard him say the next sentence:
"According to the investigation, the only official in Beijing who has been to Huayang Temple in the past few days is Rong Wang..."
"So what?" Eunuch Liu interrupted him rudely: "Is there any law that stipulates that the prince cannot go to Taoist temples to offer incense?"
Zhang Sheng was not led astray by him: "There is no law that stipulates that the prince cannot burn incense, but," he paused, his expression suddenly stern: "Wang Rong, who never believed in ghosts and gods, suddenly went to Huayang Temple to pray to gods and worship Buddha.
There is a problem in itself! So I have reason to suspect that the person who is colluding with the evil spirit is King Rong!"
Zhang Sheng raised his hand as he spoke, and the Yulin Army behind him pulled out his long sword with a swipe: "My father-in-law, please get out of the way and don't delay our work."
That posture was almost like trying to break through.
However, the soldiers of Prince Rong's Palace were no longer a vegetarian. They also surrounded him the moment they saw Yu Lin's army draw their swords. The atmosphere was tense and on the verge of breaking out.
Chun Xing was squeezed outside and couldn't move forward at all, so she could only grab her handkerchief nervously.
Zhang Sheng narrowed his eyes: "What? Are you going to disobey the emperor's order?"
Eunuch Liu said with a stern face: "I don't dare. It's just that since Mr. Zhang said it was under the emperor's order, is there an imperial edict? If there is no imperial edict, our family will not dare to let you in."
This is just an opportunity to cause trouble, where did the imperial edict come from?
But Zhang Sheng did not panic: "I am following the emperor's orders to arrest the traitors. Could it be that my father-in-law feels that the Yulin army can be deployed at will without the emperor's permission?"
In one sentence, Liu Eunuch's face turned dark.
It is because of the presence of the Yulin Army that this matter is difficult to handle.
"Father-in-law, haven't you thought about it yet?"
Zhang Sheng said: "Since you don't believe it so much, I have no choice but to send someone to the palace to ask for an imperial edict."
As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Liu knew that he had to give way to the road today, and he had to give way if he didn't.
The emperor has always been tough on the rebels of the previous dynasty. No matter who it is, he will not be lenient as long as it involves this. If they continue to block it today, it will appear that their palace has a guilty conscience.
I just regret that the vicious person behind this chose a day when the prince was not around to come and act like a monster!
He thought again, after the last purge of the palace, the people left behind were basically without problems, and the backyard should have no problems under his strict control.
At worst, people will keep a close eye on you and never give them a chance to frame you.
Thinking like this, Eunuch Liu's attitude softened a little: "What Mr. Zhang said, my prince is the most loyal and patriotic. Since it is a search for traitors, the prince will definitely agree if he is here, but..."
He agreed with Xue Zhangsheng and said: "It's okay if you find it today. If you don't find it, I don't know what the prince will think when he comes back. I hope everyone here can bear the anger of my prince."
This paragraph was obviously threatening and intimidating, and the effect was pretty good. The Yulin army standing behind Zhang Sheng was obviously panicked. Everyone knew what kind of temperament King Rong had.
Anyone who doesn't offend him is afraid, but if he does, it would be weird if he doesn't get a piece of his flesh torn off!
Zhang Sheng was shaken for a moment when he heard this. His face was relatively calm, but deep down he was lying if he said he wasn't panicking.
But wealth is in danger, and since he is here today, he is already ready to break up with King Rong. What's more, he has "evidence" in hand, and even if King Rong comes, he can't stop him!
Especially after meeting his eyes with someone in the crowd, he completely made up his mind and pretended to be calm:
"My father-in-law, I'd better explain these words to His Majesty. Now, please get out of the way!"
Eunuch Liu saw that he was so stubborn, he snorted heavily, and then raised his hand to get out of the way.
But when Zhang Sheng led the Yu Lin Army into the palace, he was still stared at angrily by many wolf-like eyes. Even though there were many people following behind him, it still put everyone under great pressure.
It can only be said that the emperor really loves Prince Rong too much. He is just a prince, but he has so many guards in the palace!
As soon as Zhang Sheng entered the palace, he immediately divided his troops into four groups and went to the four directions of the palace to search. He alone led the main force straight to the main courtyard.
Eunuch Liu looked at the two or three kittens leaving, and then at the majority of the people he brought with him. His heart skipped a beat. This guy had obviously come prepared!
As soon as Zhang Sheng rushed to the main courtyard, he sent people to search the room. When he arrived at the study, he encountered another obstruction:
"The study is an important place. Without the emperor's handwriting, no one can come near it!"
Shunzi stood at the door holding a long sword and said coldly.
I thought that Zhang Shenghui would break in just like before, but unexpectedly, he just took a look and led the people to another place.
And this scene made Eunuch Liu's heart sink even more.
If he doesn't even care about the study, where does he want to go?
The servants in the main courtyard were gathered together. Zhang Sheng assigned some people to search the guest rooms and guest rooms, and then he personally led the people straight to the main house.
"Master Zhang, is it possible that you still want to force your way into the prince's inner chamber?"
Seeing Zhang Sheng rushing straight to the main house without hesitation, the suspicion in Liu Eunuch's heart almost materialized.
"My father-in-law, what you said is wrong. I am acting under orders, so why should I force myself to say something?" Zhang Sheng's attitude became more and more stable at this time, and he seemed to have a sure victory.
However, Eunuch Liu became more and more anxious and reprimanded: "My Mrs. Tang is recuperating in the house. If you disturb her, you cannot be responsible! I advise you to stop it in moderation!"
This is what Zhang Sheng was waiting for. It's fine if the person is inside, but he will be troubled if he's not there.
"We have come to this point. It is too late for my father-in-law to say these words."
He raised his hand and his face suddenly darkened: "I suspect that the traitor is in this room. You are trying to obstruct it in every possible way, but you want to excuse the traitor?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Eunuch Liu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "Mr. Zhang, let us remind you once again that the prince's favorite wife is inside. If you search elsewhere, the prince may be able to tolerate you. If you disturb the madam, the prince
I will never let you go!"
"What a coincidence, the more you say this, the more I suspect someone is inside! Someone, open the door!"
Eunuch Liu was angry: "How dare you!"
Zhang Sheng glanced at him and was about to say, "I dare you to give it a try." The next moment, a gentle female voice that was as light and sweet as nature came from the room:
"Eunuch Liu, since this gentleman wants to search, let him come in. But this is the master's inner chamber after all, and at most one person can come in. And it must be a woman."
When Jiang Tang's voice sounded from inside, Eunuch Liu was stunned for a moment, then said ecstatically: "Master, Master, are you awake?"
Unlike his happiness, Zhang Sheng's face instantly darkened.
