"The old god said that there will be a lunar eclipse on the 18th day of this month. Your Majesty, please be sure to lie quietly in the secret room for three hours, starting from Unit Time and ending at Zi Time."
After Xue Hengzhao said these words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
You must know that celestial phenomena are not things that ordinary people can understand. If you dare to predict a lunar eclipse, if you are wrong, you will be deceiving the public.
"The old god who came to my dream claimed to be the God of Fortune and Righteousness. He said that there are evil villains in this palace who betray the Lord and lose their virtue.
As a piece of land that has been honored by His Majesty for many years, we must not allow such scoundrels to run wild and damage His Majesty’s holiness.”
Everyone knows that the God of Fortune is the Lord of the Earth. Although what Xue Hengzhao said is a bit mysterious, it makes sense in terms of logic.
"Have the gods told you who the villain is?" Eunuch Zhang asked.
"Of course he said it," Xue Hengzhao nodded, "He said it would be enough to just name a few main culprits. Firstly, when tracing, I can naturally follow the clues. Secondly, I am afraid that I will not remember them all if they are told."
"Oh, who is there?" Eunuch Zhang was obviously more interested in this.
"Qian Sanchun, Deng Bao and Song Chunming." Xue Hengzhao named the three people.
Deng Bao was right in front of him. Hearing Xue Hengzhao talk about himself, he immediately jumped up and pointed at her nose and cursed: "Nonsense! Spray blood! Everyone, don't listen to her. She clearly has a grudge against us and is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge."
!"
Xue Heng looked at Deng Bao and suddenly smiled: "Deputy Manager, this is what the gods told me, I didn't make it up."
"Fart! You said what the gods told you, did you really mean what the gods told you?!
You said you dreamed about the Earth God, and I also said I dreamed about the Jade Emperor!" Deng Bao's eyes flashed fiercely, he had long felt that this woman Xue Hengzhao was not easy to manipulate.
"Don't worry, deputy general manager, just listen to what I have to say." Compared to Deng Bao who was furious, Xue Hengzhao was calm and calm, "The old god also told me that there is something in the well in the northwest corner of this yard.
Evidence."
As soon as she mentioned the well, Deng Bao felt as if something was pressing against his veins.
It can be seen that he is trying his best to stay calm, but he still can't help but panic.
"Nonsense, what could be in that well? At most, two people died!
Besides, the place is now sealed and cannot be easily moved.
If something evil comes out, who can afford it?!"
"I couldn't believe it at first. How could I, a humble little palace maid, dare to provoke you, the eunuchs in charge? Isn't that asking for death?
But in my dream, the old god repeatedly told me to do this.
I thought since today is the birthday of Fu Zhengshen, and he entrusted me with a dream, I can't be negligent." Xue Hengzhao said, "If there is no evidence in the well, even if I am talking nonsense, just punish me.
."
Xue Hengzhao generously placed himself on the gambling table.
As the saying goes, if you fight hard enough to cut yourself off, you dare to bring down the emperor.
It is true that Xue Hengzhao is a little palace maid now, but as long as she makes dangerous moves and takes the wrong direction, she can make Qian Sanchun and others move their heads.
This is the coldest time of the day, not to mention it is the 39th solar term.
But beads of sweat sprung up on Deng Bao's forehead.
Everyone present was not a fool. Seeing him like this, they knew that Xue Hengzhao's words were not lies.
"Search!" The young leader waved his sword, and the accompanying guards immediately ran towards the northwest corner of the yard.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! That well really can't be moved!" Deng Bao hurriedly tried to stop it, "Even if it wants to move, you have to ask a mage to recite sutras before you can move it, otherwise it will be a big deal!"
The guard who had been shouting at Xue Hengzhao before kicked Deng Bao to the ground and cursed: "Stop treating us like monkeys! It's just a stone slab, nothing can be touched!"
The young leader took a deep look at Xue Hengzhao, then turned and walked away.
The stone slab at the wellhead is very thick and heavy, weighing five to six hundred kilograms.
But the Imperial Guardsmen were many and powerful, so they quickly removed the stone slab.
The mouth of the well is pitch black, like a blind eye.
Someone threw a torch down, and it took a while before I heard the sound of the torch falling to the ground.
"There are several boxes at the bottom of the well!" shouted the imperial guard standing at the mouth of the well. "The torches are not extinguished, so people can go down."
The next step was to find a rope randomly and lower the person down the well.
Chi Su couldn't help but be curious and went over to watch the excitement.
Xue Heng tightened his cloak and followed helplessly.
Deng Bao stood aside, gritting his teeth and half of his face distorted.
He looked at Xue Hengzhao like a poisonous snake looking at a purple harrier, with unwillingness, fear and hatred in his eyes.
Xue Hengzhao looked back coldly, with nothing but disdain.
She has never taken people like Deng Bao seriously, because they are not worthy of being her opponents.
Deng Bao's pupils suddenly shrank, and almost at the same time, Xue Hengzhao shouted: "No! Deng Bao is going to commit suicide!"
Sure enough, Deng Bao rushed towards the stone steps next to him, obviously intending to hit his head on it.
The young leader of the Royal Forest Army reacted quickly, grabbed Deng Bao, and threw him out to the open space!
"Tie them up!" He was still concise and to the point, refusing to say another word.
Deng Bao was almost knocked to death and huddled on the ground, unable to make any sound.
Immediately, Deng Bao and the people he brought were tied up.
After that, the boxes at the bottom of the well were pulled up one by one, four in total.
They were all locked tightly, but they were still broken open.
Dozens of lanterns were lighting up the lid of the box, which was filled with gold, silver, jade, and antique jewelry.
These are all palace treasures, each of which is valuable.
"Isn't this the same batch of things that were stolen before? There are those from Miwuyuan and the East Palace..."
Due to the case of deposing the crown prince, there was indeed a period of chaos in the palace.
A lot of things were lost at that time, but on the one hand, there was mutual blame, and on the other hand, the key people died so crazy that there was no way to prove it.
Everyone thought that these things had already flowed outside the palace, but unexpectedly they were still in the palace.
People who hide things take advantage of these loopholes.
"In this way, my matter is over!" Xue Hengzhao said softly, pulling everyone back from the shock, "Is it possible that he has gone back?"
No one responded to her, so Xue Hengzhao turned around and left.
Eunuch Zhang then caught up with him, looked at Xue Hengzhao with a smile and asked: "Little girl, are you new to the palace?"
"Replying to Eunuch Zhang, this servant is the daughter of a guilty minister and entered the palace on the winter solstice." Xue Hengzhao did not shy away.
"So that's it," Eunuch Zhang laughed, "Since there is really something in this well, then what you said about the lunar eclipse before is not a lie."
"This is what the gods told me in my dream. Once I say it, it's over." Xue Hengzhao said.
"If it is true, then you have made a great contribution." Eunuch Zhang looked into Xue Hengzhao's eyes, the smile on his face was still there, but his eyes were full of speculation.
"Eunuch Zhang, why don't I give you the credit! The gods also said that before I have suffered enough, I must abide by my duties and must not do anything to reach the sky in one step, otherwise there will be disaster." Xue Hengzhao said with a smile, "Can I do it?
