"Unjustly accused?" The eunuch smiled coldly: "Let's talk to my father-in-law when we get to the Imperial City Department!"
After saying that, he just waved his hand.
Duan Qin, who was already being held down, was escorted out directly, while the remaining soldier dragged out Manager Chen, who was slumped beside the table, too frightened to move.
Due to this sudden incident, the teahouse was silent for a long time. Everyone held their breath, not daring but couldn't help but look towards the door. Until the two people were dragged out one after another, the armor soldiers also withdrew, and the eunuch looked towards the door.
After giving a warning glance and leaving, the discussion started again in the teahouse.
"What's going on? The person who was taken away just now, I remember, was the housekeeper of the Duan Mansion!"
"Duanfu? Which Duanfu?"
"How many Duan mansions are there in the capital? Of course it is the mansion of Lord Duan who is in charge of the Imperial Army!"
"Hiss! I heard that this gentleman is very favored by the emperor. How could he..."
Yes, as a steward of an adult who has the emperor's trust, even if Steward Duan commits a crime, most of the time he will let the Duan Mansion deal with it himself. He shouldn't be dragged away directly by a father-in-law in the palace.
What is it that is worthy of such a mobilization of troops and people?
It doesn't mean that Duan Yanxing's housekeeper cannot be convicted, but as a slave, how can he deserve to let the eunuch and so many armored soldiers go out?
Unless something happened to Duan Yanxing, was the housekeeper implicated by his master?
When I think about it like this, I can suddenly understand what I couldn't figure out at first.
It can only be something happened to the Duan family!
But this teahouse is not a place where we can talk too much about this matter. The tea guests just chatted with their companions for a while. When they saw that everyone around them was whispering, many people were afraid, fearing that they would get into trouble if they stayed too long, so they left in a hurry.
.
When one or two guests left, it was like a signal, and everyone else left in a hurry.
When they found that almost all the customers had left, the teahouse owner and waiters could not care less about business, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. No one is more afraid of causing trouble than businessmen. It's good for these people to leave, it's good to leave, we need to discuss,
Don't discuss it in the store either.
"Oh my God, they're all gone at last." The boss shouted immediately, his voice changing the tone: "Hurry, close the door, just say we have to celebrate the New Year early."
"Got it!" The waiters were all very lively, scrambling to be the first to close the door.
Imperial Palace Danning Hall
The wind started blowing outside, and the branches on the magnolia tree swayed in the wind, and the fallen snow "sanded" into pieces. The emperor seemed to see a person in the mist, and said: "I am very tired. If you have something to say, I will talk to you tomorrow. You——
"
The emperor was stunned for a moment and couldn't help calling: "Second brother?"
The second brother didn't say anything, but turned around and left. The emperor was confused and couldn't help but follow him. After walking a few steps, he suddenly appeared in the open field.
The emperor was somewhat sober: "Second brother, are you blaming me?"
"But I didn't really want to kill you. Although you lost the title of crown prince, I made a decree to make you the remaining king. Why would you commit suicide?"
The man didn't reply, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The wind blew, the dark and vast sky howled, and dark shadows filled the distance. The emperor was a little panicked. Looking carefully, in the deep world, the sky and the earth seemed to be one color. He thought
Detached, but floating in the air.
"ah?"
Through the clouds and mist, I saw a giant dragon in the sky. It was originally very majestic, but the black air surged up from all around, like a wise demon, biting the dragon's flesh and blood.
The giant dragon was tightly entangled in the black mist. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free. It could only moan and let its flesh and blood fall everywhere.
Although this dream seems to be seen from the perspective of a bystander, the dragon is angry, unwilling and painful when it is bitten and unable to break away, but it is almost empathetic.
"Ah, guards, guards, what are you doing?"
After seeing the black energy even following the bloody hole to devour the dragon's internal organs, the emperor could no longer bear it and sat up suddenly.
"emperor???"
As soon as he sat up suddenly, he felt a black shadow in front of him. In his dream, the dragon was bitten by the black mist, and the scene flashed directly. The emperor pulled out the dagger placed beside his pillow and stabbed him.
"ah!"
A sharp scream made the emperor, who had not yet completely woken up from the nightmare, wake up. He saw that the black figure pierced through the heart by his sword turned out to be a female official who had served him for many years.
She turned pale and looked at him in horror, as if she didn't expect that the emperor she had served for several years would suddenly draw a sword and kill her.
Plop.
The emperor silently drew out his dagger and let the maid's body fall into a pool of blood. At this moment, the eunuchs and maids who rushed in saw this scene with their own eyes and they all fell to their knees in fear.
"Everyone, get up." The emperor said calmly.
"What are you guys doing standing around here? Why don't you drag this man down quickly?" Eunuch Zhao ordered in a low voice, dressing the emperor, and said in a low voice: "You are in trouble - all the slaves and maids are waiting here!
"
The young eunuch hurriedly dragged the palace maid's body down and cleaned up the blood. Because the palace was dyed with incense, the smell of blood gradually dissipated after a while.
Everyone else turned pale with fright at the scene just now. Eunuch Zhao personally helped the emperor sit down, put on boots for the emperor, helped the emperor put on his robe, and also cleaned and put away the dagger that the emperor had casually thrown to the ground.
, the end is normal.
The emperor gradually came back to his senses and remembered that Eunuch Zhao was not on duty today. He watched Eunuch Zhao serving him. When the service was over, he got up and walked slowly to the imperial study room. Then he suddenly asked: "You old slave, what are you doing again?"
Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"I dare not say that." When Eunuch Zhao replied, he bent even lower.
The emperor finally looked back at him, and he, who always knew the old slave's character, said directly: "I will pardon your innocence!"
After receiving this promise from the emperor, Eunuch Zhao took out a document from his arms and delivered it to the emperor with both hands.
"What on earth is going on?"
The emperor frowned and took the document. Due to the continuous consumption of Xiao Huan Dan, the vertigo problem seemed to be alleviated. He just opened it and looked at it. When he saw the content clearly, his face showed some surprise at first, and then became furious.
!
How dare they!
You bastard, your bastard!
The emperor's face turned red, and the hand holding the document was trembling. In a moment, the document was torn into pieces by the emperor, as if what was torn was not the paper, but the treasonous person written on the paper!
"How dare they! How dare they!" The emperor kicked the wooden case over with a clang, and cursed, his expression even a bit ferocious.
For him, being old and sick is a thorn in his heart, making him sleepless and uncomfortable all the time.
This was not only physical torture, but also the threat from his grown-up son, which made him suspicious.
Even when a recently naturalized grandson like Su Ziji went to visit officials to ask for calligraphy and paintings, the emperor became suspicious and wanted to test it. The prince of Qi who had the highest claim for heirship actually got involved with Duan Yanxing, who was in charge of the imperial army. This was simply
