Tang Yin wanted to enter the palace. Although the captain felt strange, he did not dare to stop him and immediately ordered the palace door to be opened.
Now the palace is full of female relatives, either Zhanhua's concubines or palace maids. In order to avoid suspicion, the Tianyuan Army only garrisoned on the outside of the palace and did not go deep into the palace. The huge palace was dark and quiet.
There is no one on the road, and there are no patrolling guards. It is like a huge dead house.
All in all, this was the first time that Tang Yin entered the palace when there was no court meeting. On the way to the bank, Shangguan Yuanbiao scratched his hair, looked around and whispered: "Sir, at night, this
The palace is also quite scary.”
Before Tang Yin could answer, Qiu Zhen, who was walking in front, turned around and asked with a smile: "General Yuan Biao, what's so scary here?"
Shangguan Yuanbiao said in a low voice: "There are not many people living in the palace now, and so many people have died. In such a big place, with so many rooms, if no one lives in it, will there be lonely ghosts or something like that?"
of……"
Qiu Zhen couldn't help but burst into laughter, shook his head and said, "That's nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound like a child crying above his head. Not to mention Shangguan Yuan Biao was startled, even Qiu Zhen was shocked and hurriedly looked up. Tang Yin was next to him.
Without raising his head, he continued to walk forward and said at the same time: "Don't look, it's a wild cat."
Qiu Zhen took a closer look, and it was exactly as Tang Yin said. There was a big black cat standing on the eaves of the palace next to him. In the dark night, the cat's eyes were shining with a strange green light. Qiu Zhen sighed secretly and hurriedly caught up with Tang Yin, haha
He smiled dryly and said, "I didn't expect there to be wild cats in the palace."
Tang Yin rolled his eyes at him and didn't say anything else. He was not afraid of things like ghosts, and he didn't believe in the existence of ghosts. If there really were ghosts in the world, countless people would have died at his hands long ago.
He turned into a ghost to seek revenge on him, how could he be allowed to live till now?
Shangguan Yuanbiao was different. No matter how powerful the opponent was on the battlefield, he would not be afraid. He was only afraid of mysterious things like ghosts and gods. After confirming that the strange barking in the room was indeed a cat, he wiped his cold sweat and subconsciously
He quickened his pace and followed closely behind Tang Yin.
The person in charge of the palace's treasury has been replaced by someone from the Tianyuan Army, a female official in her thirties. This woman is tall and strong, burlier than a normal man, with a face full of flesh and a ferocious appearance. When Tang Yin and others arrived
, she was sleeping, but the female soldier under her command pulled her up from her sleep and kept saying that the adults are here.
Seeing Tang Yin, the female officer immediately woke up from her sleep, bowed and saluted, and said in a rough voice: "Your Excellency!"
"Yes!" Tang Yin just nodded and said, "Open the bank."
"This..." The female officer raised her head in confusion and asked, "Didn't your Excellency say that no one is allowed to enter the bank?"
When Tang Yin heard this, he was angry and funny. This woman was bold and dared to use her own words to suppress him. He raised his eyebrows and did not answer. He just stared at the female officer with his eyes. Qiu Zhen sighed.
, said in a deep voice: "Open the door as soon as you are told to do so. Where is all this nonsense?"
"Oh!" the female officer responded incomprehensibly. She fumbled around her lower back for a while before taking out a bunch of keys, unlocked the big copper lock on the bank door, then stepped aside and said with her head lowered.
: "Sir, please!"
Entering the bank, Tang Yin asked the guards to light up all the lights inside, and asked in a low voice: "Qiu Zhen, did you find the owner of this bank?"
Qiu Zhen blushed and explained: "It is not suitable to find a man to work in the palace, and it is easy to cause trouble. There are few female soldiers in the army, and it is even more difficult to find a clever one among them.
, this woman is pretty good, at least she is serious about her work."
"Ha!" Tang Yin sneered and said nothing more about the matter. After all the oil lamps in the bank were lit, Tang Yin strolled forward, looking around from time to time. The palace's bank had been sorted out, and there were many items placed in the huge space.
The shelves are full, and the shelves are filled with treasures from the palace, among which gold, silver, and jade articles account for the vast majority.
Tang Yin was not very interested in these things. Even if he saw priceless treasures, he would just pick them up, look at them, and put them back without interest.
Qiu Zhen was not as free as he was. He asked someone to find an empty box, then carefully screened the treasures in the bank, selected the top ones, and then packed them carefully. Not long after, Qiu Zhen had moved from
Choose from a variety of gold and silver jewelry.
As he picked, he sincerely sighed: "The emperor's home is truly the richest in the world! These are just the remaining treasures that Zhong Tian could not take away during his escape. Even so, they are priceless and immeasurable."
Tang Yin shrugged noncommittally.
At this moment, bursts of noise suddenly came from the bank. Tang Yin frowned, shook his head to a guard behind him, and asked him to go out and see what was going on.
Not long after the guard left, he ran back quickly. When he got close to Tang Yin, he whispered, "Sir, it's Mrs. Hua Rong who is here."
"Mrs. Hua Rong?" Tang Yin was stunned and didn't think of this person for a moment.
Qiu Zhen frowned secretly and said: "My lord, Mrs. Hua Rong is one of the late king's concubines. My lord and she met once when our army invaded the palace."
"Oh! So it's her!" After hearing Qiu Zhen's reminder, Tang Yin remembered her.
Strange, what was she doing in the bank at this time? Tang Yin didn't want to see her now, but then he thought about it. If she spread the news about him entering the bank late at night, it would damage his reputation. After thinking for a moment, he thought to himself
He shouted "Trouble" and said to the guard: "Let her come closer!"
"Yes! Sir!" the guard agreed and walked out again.
After a short time, the guards brought Mrs. Hua Rong closer, followed by two young maids.
"Hey! Mr. Tang entered the palace late at night, what's the matter?" After Mrs. Hua Rong entered the bank, she didn't even look at the rare treasures placed around her. Her eyes swept through the crowd. When she saw Tang Yin
, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked forward with a smile and asked slowly.
Tang Yin met her gaze, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said, "I'm here to check the accounts. I wonder what your wife is doing here?"
"Account audit?" Mrs. Hua Rong did not answer Tang Yin's question. She turned her gaze to the box full of treasures on the ground and said with a smile: "What are these? Mr. Tang is not using the opportunity of auditing the accounts to line his own pockets, right?"
?And Mr. Tang went to the palace late at night to check the accounts. I'm afraid no one would believe it!" As she spoke, she raised her arms, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and looked at Tang Yin with a smile.
Qiu Zhen took a breath and frowned deeper.
Tang Yin's expression remained unchanged. He was calm. He took two steps forward, almost touching Mrs. Hua Rong. Then he bent down, close to her ear, and said quietly: "I think Mrs. Hua Rong is a smart person."
, you should know what to say and what not to say." At this point, his words turned into a naked threat.
Mrs. Hua Rong didn't care about Tang Yin's sudden approach. She didn't want to take a step back. She pretended not to understand what he said. She turned her head, looked directly into Tang Yin's eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for being stupid, but I don't understand Tang Yin."
What are you talking about, sir?"
The distance between the two of them was extremely close. As long as they moved forward a little further, the tips of their noses would touch each other. At such a close distance, Tang Yin could clearly feel the fragrance of Mrs. Hua Rong's breath blowing on his face when she spoke. He
He narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but look at Mrs. Hua Rong again.
He knew very well how sharp his gaze was. Not to mention women, even the ministers in the court rarely dared to look at him, but Mrs. Hua Rong had the courage, not to mention that it was quiet at night and surrounded by his own
The guard, Mrs. Hua Rong, showed no fear at all, which made people feel surprised.
At this time, even Tang Yin began to doubt her identity.
After a pause, Tang Yin stopped, looked down at Mrs. Hua Rong, who was half a head shorter than him, and asked, "What do you want?"
Mrs. Hua Rong smiled and suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Master Tang, you must be plotting for the throne, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. To plot for the throne, these words can only be said within one's own side. If the rumors spread, it would be treason.
Qiu Zhen's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he turned to look at Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao. The two brothers understood what Qiu Zhen meant and immediately grasped the saber of the waist sword. As long as Tang Yin gave the order, the two brothers could immediately
Mrs. Hua Rong and her two maids were all killed.
Tang Yin's expression remained the same, but his deep eyes also shone with green light. The thick murderous aura and spiritual pressure emanating from his body made the flames on the surrounding oil lamps tremble.
As if she did not feel the murderous intentions of Tang Yin and the people around her, Mrs. Hua Rong still had a smile on her face. She asked with a smile: "What? Master Tang, do you want to kill me to silence me?"
Tang Yin neither admitted nor denied, but said slowly: "If someone can't control their mouth, I don't mind helping her seal it with my own hands."
Mrs. Hua Rong giggled and said, "If I die here, I'm afraid Mr. Tang won't be able to explain it clearly."
Tang Yin shrugged and said with confidence and another point: "When someone dies, there may not be a body left behind, and no one may find it."
Mrs. Hua Rong was amused by his words and laughed. After a while, she stopped laughing and said: "The palace is now under the control of Mr. Tang. If a dignified wife of the late king disappears out of thin air in the palace, Mr. Tang will not be able to do it."
It’s hard to justify yourself by escaping the blame, right?!”
"..." Tang Yin was speechless by her words.
What a woman with a quick mind and an eloquent tongue! Tang Yin was secretly surprised.
It would be effortless for him to kill Mrs. Hua Rong in front of him, and it would be easy for him to dispose of her body. But there are only so many people in the palace, so if a lady disappears out of thin air, no one will notice her.
As word spreads, who knows how many rumors will be generated that are not good for himself and the Tianyuan Army!
