As people from the Shu Palace were gathered to the front one after another, the sound of children crying, chaotic footsteps, and even the questions of the people who were brought here made the entire palace become noisy.
"Everyone is here?" Ma Shunde asked.
After receiving a positive reply, he waved his hand, and the people from the Imperial City Department immediately rushed in, rushed to various courtyards, and began to search house by house.
The focus is the main courtyard, especially the study room with paper items, which is highly visited.
In addition, there are people who check the people of the Prince of Shu's palace one by one, from the master to the slaves, and compare them one by one.
The king of Shu was stunned and saw it.
Oh, I'm sorry, the people in the Imperial City Department know the situation of King Shu quite well, don't they?
Even the number of masters and servants, their appearance and age are all clear.
Otherwise, where did the list come from and where did the information come from?
The King of Shu also knew before that the Imperial City Department had surveillance on all officials, and all princes, including the grandson, must have surveillance on them.
But he didn't expect that the other party's surveillance of the Shu Prince's Mansion would reach such an extent!
King Shu's expression changed, and his eyes looking at Ma Shunde revealed indifference.
But when the Prince of Shu's palace was in turmoil, Ma Shunde's expression was slightly different from before.
In the past, he must have been very proud of himself when he accepted such an errand.
But now, he actually has a feeling that "things are different and people are different". He is still standing here, acting as an investigator. The people under investigation are still the descendants of dragons and phoenixes, but his mood is different from the past.
It’s different.
Looking at it expressionlessly, Ma Shunde knew that he had completely offended the King of Shu today.
I just hope that this investigation can really find evidence that the King of Shu colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
"Governor, everyone in the mansion matches the list, and there is no one suspicious."
"Duke Gong, the main court has already checked, and there is no correspondence or evidence of collusion with the remnants of the previous dynasty..."
"Duke, we have checked other courtyards and found nothing suspicious yet..."
Everyone who was ordered to investigate quickly brought back the results.
It's hard to say whether the King of Shu is innocent, but this time, he did find no evidence of colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.
The King of Shu came over with a gloomy face and sneered: "Eunuch Ma, have you found evidence that this king colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty? But have you found evidence that this king has colluded with Ying Guo?"
Ma Shunde was not afraid and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, this servant is only acting according to the order and cannot help himself. I have disturbed Your Majesty. I will return to the palace immediately and report to Your Majesty."
"Haha, then I won't keep you, please." The King of Shu made a gesture to see off the guests.
This attitude and expression were also written lightly, with a slight smile.
Far less angry than he was at the beginning, but this calm look made Ma Shunde even more chilled. He said nothing and bowed away.
"Lord!" Ma Youliang had been watching this scene from the side. He seemed to be worried about something. At this time, he took a breath silently and sighed.
"I know, I know, this is actually my father beating me, not a real search, otherwise, it wouldn't be so simple!" The King of Shu did not feel so serious, and smiled.
"This is my father reminding me!"
If there are really any traces, it is best to deal with them immediately.
But the King of Shu had already dealt with it.
Why did my father remind me?
This is different from what I'm used to.
The King of Shu walked silently and walked along the corridor past a rockery pond. When he arrived at the Jingxin Pavilion, he did not go inside and suddenly asked: "You said that King Qi seems to have something wrong. Is that true? Do you want to check?"
It was reported that the King of Qi secretly kept armored soldiers, but it was a top secret. The time was short and it only lasted one day. It was good for the King of Shu to get wind of it.
"Absolutely not!" Ma Youliang also pondered for a long time. At this time, he stopped and said with a serious expression: "The emperor never ends in person. This time he hinted at the end, which is very rare!"
"Why, I'm afraid it has something to do with this rumor!"
"Are you saying that King Qi made a big mistake because my father favored me?" King Shu had actually vaguely thought of it, but he was not sure. At this time, his eyes lit up and he became a little happy.
"That may be the case, so at this juncture, don't get involved again, or it will be self-defeating!" Ma Youliang said in a deep voice: "It's better to be still than to move!"
"...That's right!" The King of Shu pondered for a long time, nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Ma Shunde, this slave, I thought I was my father's confidant, but I didn't expect it to be an abandoned dog slave. Hehe, I offended the King of Qi.
, if you offend Gu, my father wants him to die!"
"Do you know this dog slave?"
Ma Youliang thought about it and couldn't help but laugh: "I should know something, but everyone has a sense of luck. I'm afraid I don't believe it or don't want to believe it!"
"Haha!" King Shu laughed when he heard the sound. Strangely enough, Ma Youliang laughed a few times as well, suddenly feeling sad in his heart.
Ma Shunde returned to the palace and reported the results of the investigation to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor was silent for a moment, and said indifferently: "You continue to investigate this matter and see if there are any suspicious people in the Shu Prince's palace."
After saying that, he asked Ma Shunde to step back.
"The Governor!"
When Ma Shunde returned to his mansion outside the palace with a livid face, his face remained in a bad mood. The little eunuch who followed him did not dare to say a word.
After returning to the house, Ma Shunde came to his room and asked people not to come in.
He himself sat on the recliner, lay down, closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh.
I didn’t want to offend the King of Shu, but I still offended the King of Shu!
what to do?
Should we just let it go, or should we do something?
King Qi has a problem, and with the evidence, the emperor must have opinions about King Qi.
King Shu, regardless of whether there is a problem or not, no conclusive evidence has been found!
The adult prince is still qualified to aspire to the throne, but there will only be one King of Shu left in the future.
One day, when the great grandson is gone and the King of Qi is gone, wouldn't it mean that only the King of Shu will be left?
Once the king of Shu comes to power, how can he have his own destiny?
Ma Shunde didn't want to wait in panic for the butcher's knife to fall, so he could only...
He suddenly stood up and walked to the antique shelf.
On this wooden shelf, there are more than a dozen antiques, large and small, which look quite impressive.
There was a small vase in it, which was placed in an inconspicuous position. At this moment, Ma Shunde picked it up, put his finger in it, and gently hooked it, and a small jade vase was hooked out.
What is contained here is Ma Shunde's privately-hidden poisonous wine. In fact, it is only one or two sips, but this poison is a strange poison. The strange thing is that after drinking it, you can die quickly.
You know, even with the poisonous wine given by the palace, it is difficult to make people die quickly.
There was an example in the previous dynasty, where a minister was given poisoned wine. As a result, he drank seven cups in a row. The pain was so severe that he was still alive. In the end, he was strangled to death.
This wine can make people die quickly, so it is indeed a treasure for many people.
But touching it, Ma Shunde stared at it, but his hands trembled slightly.
"Why, why, did I end up like this?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this servant may have some thoughts, but he is really loyal!"
