Chapter 155 Entering the palace to report a letter
The Xiping Granary was a subsidiary of Kaixiao who was stationed in Chang'an, and Guan Ji had an affair with Weixiao's boss. What Liu Buxin said was so shocking.
Before Xu Zheng and others could recover, Liu Buxin continued: "The two women I saw in the Xiping granary are now in Guanji!"
"This is really unreasonable!" Xu Zheng reacted and clenched his fist fiercely.
Guanji is a place where the God of Grains is worshiped and is a holy place. However, Wu Qing and others did such dirty deeds in Guanji. They not only colluded with foreign enemies, but also secretly hid robbed civilian girls. It is simply unacceptable.
Ma Kai murmured: "No wonder the missing woman cannot be found in Chang'an City, and there is no trace outside Chang'an City. It turns out that she is all in Guanji!"
No one would have thought that Guanji would be a hiding place for missing women. Even if all the capital troops were used to search Sanfu, people would not search a place like Guanji.
Liu Buxin said seriously: "Brother Zheng, for the sake of safety, I plan to sneak into Guanji to investigate and find out where the robbed women are hidden, and then let them steal the stolen goods!"
Xu Zheng nodded and said: "Okay! This is very safe! But you have to be more careful and don't let the other party find out!"
"clear!"
Xu Zheng left Ma Kai and several others to stare at the front door of Guanji. He and Liu Buxin walked around to the back of Guanji. When they came to the back of Guanji, Xu Zheng and others stopped, but Liu Buxin did not stop.
, continue to circle around Guanji.
He circled Guan Ji twice and selected the best place to enter. Then he stopped, quickly approached Guan Ji's side, used the hook rope as an aid, climbed over the courtyard wall, and jumped in.
Time passed by, and the bright sky gradually darkened. Just as Xu Zheng and others were waiting anxiously, Liu Buxin rolled out from Guan Ji's side. He bent his waist and ran towards Guan Ji's back.
Go and meet Xu Zheng.
Seeing Liu Buxin coming back, Xu Zheng asked impatiently: "I don't believe you, how is the investigation? Have you found out where the missing woman is hidden?"
Liu Buxin shook his head solemnly and said in a low voice: "Brother Zheng, the Guanji is heavily guarded. I have been secretly observing for a long time, but I have not been able to find any flaws. It is really impossible to penetrate deeply."
Liu Buxin glanced at him and said, "Brother Zheng, it's difficult to move during the day. I plan to wait until dark before going in to explore."
Xu Zheng said: "Tonight at midnight is the deadline for the three-day appointment!"
Liu Buxin thought for a while and said: "Brother Zheng can go back to Chang'an first and inform Madam that the information we have now is enough to reply to His Majesty!"
Xu Zheng said meaningfully: "Only if the missing women are found in Guanji, the information we report will be considered conclusive evidence. If we cannot find the missing women, we..."
That is empty talk and white teeth, and other officials can turn around and bite them to death. It is a frame-up.
Liu Buxin said seriously: "Guanji's defense is not flawless, but it is too easy to be exposed if we act during the day. I am afraid of alerting others and do not dare to take risks. By night, I will definitely be able to find out where those women are being held.
"
Xu Zheng thought about it carefully, nodded, and said, "Okay! If you don't believe me, just wait here and keep an eye on Guan Ji. I'll go back to Chang'an now and report the situation to Madam!"
"yes!"
Xu Zheng explained to everyone, and then went to a forest two miles away. There were horses stored in the forest. Xu Zheng found the horses, untied the reins, got on the horse, and went straight to Chang'an.
When he ran back to Chang'an, it was already dark and the city gate had long been closed. Xu Zheng took out the Yunxi Pavilion sign. The officers and soldiers guarding the city saw the sign clearly, opened the city gate, and let him in.
Xu Zheng didn't dare to delay for a moment, and he rushed all the way to Weiyang Palace.
When he arrived at the gate of Weiyang Palace, he dismounted and walked quickly forward. The palace guards immediately stepped forward, and without waiting for them to speak, Xu Zheng hurriedly handed over the token and said seriously: "I'm in Yunxi Pavilion, Xu
Government, I have urgent matters to report to Hua Meiren!"
The palace guard took the token, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was the sign of Yunxi Pavilion. He said to Xu Zheng: "You wait here, we will lead people into the palace and report to Hua Meiren!"
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Xu Zheng thanked him repeatedly.
The captain of the guard arranged for a captain to enter the palace. Xu Zheng was waiting outside, wandering around anxiously, raising his sleeves from time to time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
After waiting for three quarters of an hour, a young palace maid walked out of the palace and said to the guards outside: "The beauty invites Mr. Xu."
The guards standing in front of Xu Zheng bowed and stepped back to both sides. Xu Zheng stepped forward quickly, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "I'd like to trouble this palace lady to lead the way!"
The little palace maid glanced at Xu Zheng, smiled indifferently, and said, "Mr. Xu is welcome, please come with me!" She walked in front, Xu Zheng followed, and entered Weiyang Palace.
On weekdays, Hua Feiyan always met them outside the palace. This was Xu Zheng's first time entering Weiyang Palace.
Following the palace maid, he did not dare to look around, but out of the corner of his eye, he could still see that the Weiyang Palace was heavily guarded, with a post every three steps, a sentry every five steps, and mobile patrols, one after another.
The little palace maid took Xu Zheng through the front palace, the middle palace, and all the way to the Zhaoyang Palace of the harem. When they got here, the little palace maid waved her hand to the door and said, "Please, Mr. Xu!"
Xu Zheng bowed and walked in. After passing through the front yard and entering the main hall, what greeted his eyes was an incense burner, with green smoke coming out repeatedly, and the aroma was charming.
At that time, incense had gradually become popular among the aristocracy, and Liu Xiu's harem, Hua Feiyan, liked them very much.
Xu Zheng turned around and saw Hua Feiyan sitting at the end of the hall, sitting in a very casual posture, with one leg crossed, one leg bent, his elbow resting on his knee, holding a letter in his hand.
He quickly stepped forward, bowed to the ground, and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to the flower beauty!"
"Yes!" Hua Feiyan raised her head, glanced at Xu Zheng, and then waved to the maids on both sides. The maids saluted and filed out of the hall.
Hua Feiyan put the letter on the table and asked: "Xu Zheng, what did you find?"
"Reporting to the beauty, when we were investigating the Xiping Granary, we found that two missing women were locked up in the secret room of the Xiping Granary."
Hearing this, Hua Feiyan squinted her eyes. There was really something wrong with this Xiping granary. She asked, "Only two women were found?"
Xu Zheng said: "According to the judgment of my subordinates, the remaining women have been moved away by the Xiping Granary. Outside the city, the person who is escorting the Xiping Granary is... Guan Ji!"
Hua Feiyan's eyes flashed and she stared at Xu Zheng without saying a word. Xu Zheng swallowed and continued: "According to the investigation by my subordinates, the identity of Xiping Granary is not simple. It is really the work of Wei Xiao."
"As expected!" Hua Feiyan stood up and said, "It seems that Wei Xiao is planning to use troops in the near future!"
"Ah?" Xu Zheng looked at Hua Feiyan blankly.
Hua Feiyan laughed out loud and said: "Kai Xiao used a hidden stake to frame His Majesty. If he didn't want to use troops against the Third Assistant, it would be meaningless."
Even if he succeeds in setting the blame and a civil uprising breaks out in the Sanfu area, with so many capital troops in Sanfu, they can easily suppress the civil uprising.
Only when Wei Xiao takes the opportunity to send troops and three auxiliary troops to trigger a civil uprising will it be extremely powerful, making his own side beset with internal and external difficulties, making it difficult to deal with the situation from beginning to end.
Xu Zheng took a breath and his face became serious. Hua Feiyan asked: "Now, where are the missing women?"
"They are all hidden in Guanji."
"Has the investigation been clear?" Hua Feiyan asked.
"This..." Xu Zheng said truthfully: "I saw with my own eyes that two women imprisoned in the Xiping Granary were secretly sent to Guanji. Later, I sneaked into Guanji to find out where those women were being held.
, but it was too bright for him to enter, so he planned to wait until dark before exploring further."
Hua Feiyan raised her eyes to look at the sky outside. It was already dark. Xu Zheng said cautiously: "Beauty, why don't you report this to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to send troops to encircle Guanji."
"No! We don't have conclusive evidence. If those missing women are not found in Guanji, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Guanji is not an official authority, but it is a place where gods are enshrined, which is very sensitive. If you can achieve both loot and loot in Guanji, then everything will be fine. If you can't get both loot and besiege Guanji, then everything will be fine.
It is an offense to the gods.
From now on, any natural disaster in counties and counties in various places can be blamed on the emperor, and it can be assumed that the emperor offended the gods. This has a great impact on the emperor's prestige, and no one can take this risk.
Hua Feiyan thought about it, waved to Xu Zheng and said, "Wait for me outside the palace."
"Here!" Xu Zheng agreed, bowed and exited the hall.
Hua Feiyan walked into the inner room of the main hall, changed her clothes, then walked out of the main hall and walked outside. Xu Zheng hurriedly followed her. She said: "Let's go to Guanji and see what's going on over there.
what's the situation."
"Hua Meiren, do you want to bring more people?" Xu Zheng looked back, but did not see Hua Feiyan's entourage, and frowned slightly.
"No need! We are not going to fight Guan Ji, just to find out the truth." Hua Feiyan said as he walked.
Hua Feiyan and Xu Zheng left the palace. When they passed through Sima Road, they happened to be seen by Liu Xiu who was running at night. However, the distance was far away, so Liu Xiu saw them, but they did not see Liu Xiu.
Seeing the two of them leaving the palace in a hurry, Liu Xiu kept running in place, smiled at Heimao beside him, and said, "It seems that Yunxi Pavilion has found a clue!"
Heimao looked at Liu Xiu with a confused look: What are you talking about? I don't understand at all!
After Hua Feiyan and Xu Zheng left, Liu Xiu took Heimao and ran to the palace gate. When the guards at the palace gate saw Liu Xiu, they hurriedly stepped in to salute and said: "Your Majesty!"
Liu Xiu raised his eyes and looked outside the palace. In just a moment, Hua Feiyan and Xu Zheng had disappeared on horseback. He pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know where Hua Mei and Xu Zheng went?"
The guards all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know anything either.
Liu Xiu shrugged and didn't ask any more questions. He took Heimao with him and continued running at night. After running a certain distance, he turned to look at Heimao and asked with a smile: "Do you want to go out of the palace for a walk?"
The black-haired man looked at Liu Xiu cutely. Seeing its silly look, Liu Xiu laughed loudly, touched the leopard's head and said, "Whether you can see the excitement depends on your ability! Let's go!"
"
While talking, Liu Xiu took Hei Mao to a nearby district house and asked for a horse from the guard. Then he rode the horse and took Hei Mao out of the palace.
When running at night, Liu Xiu wore close-fitting casual clothes, which were very light. Even if he left the palace and met pedestrians, he would not attract anyone's attention. In addition, at this time, Long Yuan, Xu Ying, Luo You and others were not following him.
around.
Seeing Liu Xiu leaving the palace with black hair, the guards did not dare to stop him, but someone ran to notify Long Yuan immediately.
It was already late at night in Chang'an, and the streets were empty. The black hair that had been trapped in the palace was now running happily, jumping back and forth on the streets. Seeing its excited appearance, Liu Xiu was also attracted by
It made them laugh. He rode on the horse and said: "Heimao, don't just think about it, smell Feiyan and where they went. Otherwise, we won't see the excitement and will have to go back to the palace!"
