"The supervisor of the prison will be dismissed from his post and investigated, his property will be confiscated, he will be given a hundred sticks, and he will be expelled from the palace."
"All the officials in the prison, big and small, will be fined three years' salary, fifty rods, and all members will be demoted one level."
Hearing this, Mo Yunxi nodded and asked Qin Ge: "General Qin..."
"According to the criminal law of staying in the palace, the imperial guards guarding the palace gate colluded with foreign ministers to open the palace gate privately."
"If a foreign minister enters the harem to make peace with his concubines, what crime should he be punished if he returns to his own bed?"
"Go back to Your Highness!" Qin Ge arched his hands and deliberately faced the two people kneeling on the ground.
He said loudly: "The principal criminal, Ling Chi, killed the five clans, and the accomplice, Xiaoshou, killed the three clans and confiscated the family property."
"The chief official will be dismissed from his post and investigated, his property will be confiscated, he will be punished with a hundred rods, he will serve as a corvee for five years, and he will never be hired again."
"All members of the dormitory guard class to which they belong will receive fifty rods, a one-year fine, and transfer from the Royal Forest Army."
"All members of the Royal Forest Army will be fined one month!"
"good..."
Mo Yunxi nodded with satisfaction and said solemnly to the two people kneeling on the ground: "You two, do you think this is such a punishment?"
"Is it reasonable?"
"Reasonable...reasonable...reasonable..."
The two of them knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and stammered: "Your Majesty... Your Highness... You..."
Before she finished speaking, Mo Yunxi suddenly snorted: "That's good! Come on! Take these two down!"
"yes!"
The soldiers agreed, swarmed up, held the two of them down, and tried to pull them out.
"This...Your Highness...why is this..."
"What crime have I committed, Your Highness... Your Highness... Please give me a word, Your Highness..."
The two of them were so frightened that they almost lost their wits and begged for mercy.
Then he begged loudly to Jia Guang and Qin Ge: "My dear general, Eunuch Jia... Please beg for mercy from Your Highness..."
"Your Highness...this...this..." Eunuch Jia, who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was stunned at this moment and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qin Ge, who was on the side, had already been prepared and took two steps forward at the right moment.
He bowed his hands to Mo Yunxi and said in salute: "Your Highness, as a humble minister, I don't know anything about it."
"Looking at the two of them who have been so dedicated to their careers over the years, they have worked hard even without merit..."
"Why don't we... let's ask them clearly first and let them take credit for their crimes!"
Nan Yanxi on the side also swayed, stood up and bowed respectfully to Mo Yunxi.
"Your Highness... please calm down!"
"The two adults have been with you for many years, and they are not aware of it. Your Highness, please give them this opportunity..."
"How dare you risk your life! The two adults will be able to find out the main culprit soon. Please give them a chance, Your Highness!"
As soon as these words came out, the two people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts. They thought that this new Eunuch Yan was really good and could be friends with him!
He hurriedly kowtowed to Mo Yunxi and promised to investigate thoroughly.
Seeing this, Mo Yunxi smiled secretly in her heart, and then got off the slope.
After waving his hands, the guards understood and let go of the two of them and retreated.
He said to Nan Yanxi: "Eunuch Yan, please tell me..."
"yes!"
Nan Yanxi agreed, turned around, and smiled slightly at the two of them: "My lords, why don't you thank your highnesses? Can you please get up quickly?"
"Oh...oh..." Only then did the two of them react and hurriedly kowtowed to Mo Yunxi to thank him.
He also thanked the three people standing before slowly standing up.
They cupped their hands towards Nan Yanxi and asked at the same time: "Eunuch Yan, what on earth is going on..."
"Why..."
Seeing this, Nan Yanxi sighed and then started to make up a story.
"You two don't know something...last night, my servant accompanied His Highness to visit the Emperor."
"Later, because the slave was newly promoted, His Highness took the slave around the palace to get familiar with it."
"Unexpectedly, it rained heavily. When His Highness and the slave were hiding from the rain in an empty palace, they accidentally crashed..."
"The adulterous affair between Concubine Jing and Feng Ji, the crown prince of Ningguo!"
The more Nan Yanxi talked, the more excited she became, and she told everything about what she had seen that night.
Including asking whether the emperor's dragon body was in good health and keeping an eye on the movements of the second prince.
Finally, he also mentioned the secret code for meeting, such as golden osmanthus cake and spicy stir-fried kidney.
No need to ask, this must be someone in Shangshan Prison colluding with foreign officials.
Although Feng Ji was a military commander, he was not very strong in martial arts.
Even Qin Ge may not be able to freely enter and leave the harem, jump over the palace city and several checkpoints in the imperial city, let alone be granted the title of Ji.
There is no need to ask, it is naturally a matter for the Imperial Secretary.
Qiu Min and Jia Guang looked at each other and couldn't help but mutter in their hearts that they were really not wrong to find out about this matter.
He knelt on the ground with a plop again, and said sadly to Mo Yunxi: "Your Highness! I am guilty!"
"Oh... two adults..."
Nan Yanxi on the side saw the right moment and said in a high-pitched voice: "Your Highness was angry just now."
"Now you two adults should think about it carefully, who opened the door for Feng Ji?"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them calmed down and looked at each other.
Gao Qing thought hard and said: "Yesterday was... seventeenth... It should be the class of Xiao Xuzi, the prime minister's eunuch..."
"Whatever dish or dessert you want to eat, he has to nod..."
"Hiss...this person..." Gao Qing suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "This person was transferred here half a year ago."
"It seems that he was recommended by Feng Ji. He said he was the distant nephew of some old housekeeper in Ning Guogong's mansion."
"Let me take care of you..."
Hearing what he said, Qiu Min was also surprised and said quickly: "On the 17th, Miyagi is the Tiger Guard's squad."
"The person on duty at the Imperial City Gate is Qianhu Chen Jian, who was also introduced by Feng Ji."
"It's said that he is a distant cousin of his...for this reason...he still..."
Qiu Min faltered and said with a blush, "I also gave you a lot of money..."
After finishing speaking, he added hurriedly: "At that time... the Royal Forest Army did confirm that the boy had good martial arts and a clean background.",
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty agreed..."
As soon as these words came out, Mo Yunxi frowned and glanced at him coldly.
Taking a deep breath: "How many days do you guys rotate?"
"Your Highness, we all rotate every five days."
Hearing this, Mo Yunxi nodded slightly and looked at Nan Yanxi.
Then he said in a deep voice: "If that's the case... then let's do it together."
"Secretly arrest these two people and send them to the Imperial Guard Department. Don't alert the enemy in the first place. We must dig out their accomplices as quickly as possible."
"You...have only four days left."
"Your Highness, don't worry!"
Qin Ge cupped his hands with a confident look on his face: "It won't take four days, just an hour, and I'm sure they will be able to speak!"
"Well...that's good. Remember not to alert the enemy."
"yes!"
Mo Yunxi gave a few instructions and then said to Nan Yanxi: "Eunuch Yan, I will leave it to you to supervise this matter."
"Slave obeys the order!"
Nan Yanxi bowed and agreed, while Mo Yunxi stood up and returned to the back hall.
Seeing this, the three people breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if they had been granted amnesty.
Especially Qiu Min and Gao Qing, their clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
He saluted Nan Yanxi solemnly again: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Yan, for saving me. Such a great kindness will be remembered by both of us!"
"I just don't know...how should we act? Please give me Eunuch Yan's instructions."
Hearing this, Nan Yanxi laughed and greeted a few people politely.
Then he made arrangements: "The way I see it, in order not to alert the enemy, Eunuch Gao and General Qiu..."
"Transfer the two thieves out, let Eunuch Jia and General Qin capture them secretly, and send them to the Imperial Guard."
"Torture him severely and dig out all his accomplices!"
"Oh, by the way... I also asked Eunuch Gao to tell his men to bring a golden osmanthus cake to the concubine Jing's palace for dinner."
Then, he smiled at everyone and said, "How about we go meet her for a while tonight?"
"As you command!"
Everyone agreed and turned around to start preparations.
...
It was extremely cool in the deep palace after the rain. Due to the depression of the harem, it seemed very deserted.
All the servants in the palace, except those on duty, also lay down early.
At this time, Concubine Jing had just finished taking a shower and was sitting in front of the dressing table, dressing up carefully.
The servants in the palace had long been kicked out by her.
Now that the harem is in depression, there are not many servants to serve, and the rules are not that complicated.
Since the master doesn't need it, everyone can enjoy their leisure time.
At this time, Concubine Jing felt happy in her heart. Didn't that enemy just want her yesterday? Why did she come again today?
Looking left and right at the bronze mirror, I couldn't help but secretly praise myself.
He is such a charming and charming person... No wonder he can't get enough of his enemies.
Although I am confused in my heart, didn’t I always come here every five days in the past? Why today...
It seems there is something important!
Concubine Jing comforted herself in this way, feeling a little happy in her heart.
