Chapter 407 A dark and windy night that kills people
Hearing this, Muchuan was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
With Li Shimin's guarantee, Muchuan would have no scruples not only to investigate the Eastern Palace, but also to investigate the Harem.
Of course, unless Muchuan had a mental disorder, he would not have gone to the harem to act wild.
Even though Li Shimin is old, he will not tolerate other men entering his harem at will.
Afterwards, Muchuan left the palace and walked home.
It was already the middle of the night, and since there were no street lights in ancient times, the streets were frighteningly dark, accompanied by gloomy winds. The wind whistled on the branches, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling, but it made people panic.
Even though Muchuan was an atheist, he felt a little weak at the moment, and his foot speed couldn't help but increase a bit.
However, when passing by an alley, Muchuan was attracted by the sound coming from deep inside.
This was a rather obscure sound, as if several people were discussing something in a low voice.
It could be heard that the other party deliberately lowered his voice.
However, Muchuan was ten times stronger and his hearing was ten times that of ordinary people. This time, he could vaguely hear a general idea.
"Be smart with your hands and feet. These things must be brought into the palace intact."
"You put it lightly! If we are caught, we will all be beheaded!"
"Hmph, if these things were not sent to the palace, or if they were damaged halfway, what we would have to endure would be much more terrifying than beheading."
The voice became softer and softer, and gradually became so soft that even Muchuan couldn't hear it.
I guess the other party has gone far.
At this time, there was a dark wind blowing from the source of the sound, and a fishy smell spread into Muchuan's breath.
Fishermen?
Muchuan hesitated for a moment, and finally decided not to cause trouble.
Although I don’t know what these people who are suspected of being fishermen are transporting to the palace, if there is no internal intelligence and backstage in the palace, let alone smuggling in the middle of the night, even if they dig underground and dig tunnels, there is no way they can enter the palace.
.
This fully shows that they are helping a certain nobleman in the palace.
Either a prince or a concubine.
The only thing is that the person's status should be at a level that is neither above nor below, otherwise there is absolutely no need to use this method to transport things.
Muchuan was too lazy to care about the matter, so he just ignored it and continued walking to the house.
After returning home, Muchuan didn't bother anyone else and ran to the study to sleep.
Turning his eyes back to the palace, at a corner of the outer wall, several sneaky people gathered together.
"Where's the stuff?"
The person asking the question seemed to be a eunuch, his voice was thin and high-pitched.
"Here it is."
A man dressed as a commoner took out a brocade box from his arms and then carefully handed it to the eunuch.
The eunuch also held his breath and carefully took the brocade box, as if it contained some beast in the muddy waters that would devour everyone if not careful.
"Just this one?"
The eunuch carefully packed the brocade box and then looked at everyone dissatisfied.
The leader said helplessly: "Father, you also know how valuable this thing is. Bringing it back all the way. To have this one is a blessing from God."
The eunuch snorted coldly and said nothing more. He took out a few pieces of gold from his sleeve and threw them to everyone.
When everyone saw this, they were all ecstatic.
You know, these few pieces of gold are enough for them to eat and drink for a lifetime!
"Thank you father-in-law for the reward!"
"There's no point in thanking me. If you want to thank me, just thank that noble person."
"Yes, yes! It's time to thank that noble man!"
After everyone thanked him, they left with satisfaction.
The eunuch did not leave, but looked at the backs of those people from a distance, with a hint of malice flashing in his already narrow eyes.
Those few people were carrying gold, and they felt that the darkness around them seemed to be dispersed by the golden light, and they felt indescribable joy and joy.
"With this money, I want to marry a beautiful wife first. It's best to go to a brothel and redeem a dancing girl!"
"Look at your little fortune! With this kind of money, it's easy to marry a beautiful woman, let alone a dancing concubine!"
The leader was speechless, and he shook his head, "That's all you can do! We are considered rich now, why insist on marrying those smoky women?
Wouldn’t it be nice for her to find a good family?”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all praised the elder brother for his wisdom.
Everyone was dreaming about a better life in the future, when they suddenly stopped.
It wasn't that they were tired of walking, but that their way forward was blocked.
They were several swordsmen holding swords. From their clothes, it was easy to tell that they were not government officials.
It’s over! We’ve encountered a calamity!
Everyone was horrified, but they never expected that there would be a strong man in Chang'an City who could rob Dao!
Seeing that the other party is not a good person, the leader knows that it may be difficult to calm down the matter unless he pays some price.
He smiled apologetically and took a step forward, and with great pain, he took out a small piece of gold.
He planned to sacrifice a small amount of money to protect a large one. Presumably, after the other party got the benefit, they would let them go.
After all, killing someone in Chang'an City is a serious crime of beheading!
"You guys, let me use this little money to drink."
The leader had just approached, and before he could finish his words, his eyes widened in horror.
I saw a swordsman, and he waved his long sword involuntarily.
The leader watched helplessly as the blade struck directly at his head.
"It's killing people! It's killing people!"
The rest were so frightened that they peed their pants and didn't care about anything else. They shouted and fled in all directions.
However, how could this group of swordsmen, who were well prepared, let them go? Soon they caught up and killed them all.
After killing everyone, these people put away their weapons and began to dispose of the corpses.
Judging from their proficiency, it seems this is not the first time they have done this.
Poor fishermen, driven by great interests, took desperate risks to smuggle them into the palace, but ended up with such a miserable end.
As for what exactly they sent into the palace, that is a story for another day.
The second day.
As soon as Muchuan opened his eyes, he noticed that it was a little crowded.
Looking around, Muchuan could not help but be speechless.
Hua Nianmu and Huang Ying, one on the left and the other on the right, were lying beside her at some point, sleeping comfortably at the moment.
Looking at the cute and delicate sleeping faces of the two of them, Muchuan smiled and shook his head.
I have to admit that in terms of cuteness, these two people are at the limit of Muchuan's knowledge.
Muchuan did not wake them up, and stepped onto the bed lightly.
Now that Muchuan is an imperial envoy and has received great attention from Li Shimin, he does not dare to neglect him. He must do something practical to avoid making Li Shimin Long Yan displeased.
After washing his face casually, Muchuan took Gao Kan to Cheng Yaojin's garrison point.
He wanted to find out the details of Guangming Main Hall, but with the current manpower alone, it would be like hitting an egg with a stone, and he would have to find some foreign aid.
