"Hurry up and use the nunchucks, hehe, hey, hurry up and use the nunchucks, everything will be prosperous..."
It was as if a rag collector had broken into the silent palace. The faces of the female family members of the Zhao family all turned pale in fear. People who had never been to the palace knew how strict the rules were in the palace. They were already imagining Zhao Guanren being dragged down and held down.
Caishikou was beheaded in public display.
"Oh~ Mr. Zhao! You are finally here..."
Sudden!
The high-end and elegant Concubine Wu Xian suddenly changed her face. She walked forward a few steps and waved and shouted: "My family has made some dumplings by hand. Mr. Zhao, please take them away and try them. The dumpling stuffing is specially prepared for you. You must like it. Your Majesty, please inspect the dumplings."
It’s bitter!”
"..."
The girls couldn't believe their ears, and looked back in fear. Sure enough, it was Zhao Guanren who came over wielding a small copper hammer. A group of female guards followed behind him, holding many gift boxes in their hands, as if they had just arrived.
I came back after collecting a lot of gifts.
"What kind of dumplings are you going to eat? Come over to me..."
Zhao Guanren actually pushed Concubine Wu Xian away, and the leader eunuch fell to his knees on the ground, his old and feminine face turning pale in an instant.
Zhao Guanren pointed a copper hammer at him and shouted: "You must be the leader of Shangshan Supervisor. You are really good at hiding. I am looking for you everywhere!"
"No, no, no! Sir, this old slave is the eunuch in charge of Hun Tang Si. You have admitted your mistake..."
The old eunuch lay on the ground trembling with fear. Zhao Guanren stepped forward and grabbed him by the back collar, and whispered something to him.
The old eunuch nodded repeatedly as if he was being pardoned: "I know, I know! I know, I know. Thank you for your noble hand!"
"Concubine Wu Xian! Sorry, I admitted the wrong person..."
Zhao Guanren walked back to Concubine Wu Xian and said sarcastically: "You must have damaged your brain by taking a bath, and you actually led the eunuch in charge of the bathhouse into the house. I think you, this concubine, will soon become a concubine."
The door to the cold palace has been opened for you!"
"Sir! We have useful information, we really have useful information..."
Concubine Wu Xian's eyes were instantly bloodshot, and she handed over the food box with a ferocious expression. Zhao Guanren took the heavy food box and handed it to the female guard, saying: "Concubine Wu Xian is favored by the emperor. Don't disturb Concubine Xian's rest. Good grade."
Just be a guard!"
"yes!"
A female guard came forward with red paint and painted a bright red word "Liang" in front of the door of Concubine Wu Xian's courtyard. Concubine Wu Xian immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed happily with her legs bent, and quickly ran back to the house with the palace maid.
The old eunuch also ran away quickly.
"Why are you still kneeling? Get up..."
Zhao Guanren looked at his female family members jokingly. The women all seemed to have seen gods. They looked around to make sure it was the emperor's harem, otherwise they would have thought they were in the palace of Zhao Guanren's family.
"Tan Qingning!"
Zhao Guanren put his hands behind his back and said, "Don't ask any more questions than you should. You are now under my control. I will take you to dinner first, and we will talk while we eat!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
Tan Qingning knew that it was inconvenient for him to say more, so she obediently led the people to follow him forward. All the palace maids leading the way also ran away. Although Bian Xianglan and the other four ladies were in a fog, they looked at the arrogance of their man.
I just felt like there was an iron plate inserted into my waist.
"Master Zhao! Come in and sit down, I have some good new tea here..."
"Master Zhao! You are lucky, I made cakes specially for you..."
"Master Zhao! Why are you here..."
After a series of coquettishness and flattery, various concubines were waiting in front of the courtyard, constantly sending various gifts or food, which almost made Tan Qingning and the others think that they were not entering the emperor's harem at all, but Zhao Guanren's harem.
"Sisters!"
Bian Yulei whispered in shock: "How come these ladies are all fawning over our master? They all call themselves concubines and slaves. How big of a deal does he have to care about?"
"Where is this?
It's just flattering, it's saving your life, something big will definitely happen..."
Bian Xianglan raised her eyebrows with a strange expression. The guards could hardly hold anything in their arms, and they would leave marks every time they went to a house. The marks were divided into three levels: good, medium, and to-do. The concubines who received the to-do mark were simply
It's like mourning an heir.
"Let's go! Let's go eat hot pot..."
Zhao Guanren swaggered into a large courtyard. There was a magnificent palace inside, surrounded by birds and flowers, pavilions and pavilions. There were only three big characters written on the plaque - Ciren Palace!
"Eating hot pot? This is the Queen's palace..."
Tan Qingning almost scared him to death, but Zhao Guanren walked straight into the palace. Six palace maids were already kneeling in front of the door to welcome him. They flattered him to take off his official boots and put on loose cloth shoes, and then gave him to Bian Xianglan and others.
Women kowtow and salute.
"Come! All my family members sit down, and the rest come over..."
Zhao Guanren sat down in the main hall boldly. As expected, there were hot pots and stones on a round table, and even the aged imperial wine was taken out to drink. However, the palace was already empty, and the queen's phoenix robe and hairpin were also gone.
Throw it on the soft ground.
"Come! Girls, line up. Don't call me sir, don't call me prince, call me brother..."
Zhao Guanren brought two large food boxes in front of him. After opening them, there was a letter in each. The bottoms were full of gold, silver and jewelry. He smiled and said: "Remember, as long as you follow your brother loyally and work hard, you will be indispensable for glory and wealth."
Yes, come and receive the reward!"
"Thank you, good brother!"
A tall and thick female guard ran over, bowed shyly and took the two gold ingots. The rest were also excited. Who would have thought that Zhao Guanren was so generous, even six palace maids had a share, and each of them excitedly called her "good brother".
"Xiao Ling'er! You take the sisters to the side hall for dinner, and then we can start working again..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand with a smile, and the guards and maids left with great gratitude.
"Qing Ning!"
Zhao Guanren kicked the gift box on the ground and said: "You divide these two boxes of silver among the girls. If you work hard, there will be more. But you are not field guards now, but my personal inspectors. You must be tight-lipped."
, you still have to listen to me, do you understand?"
"Got it!"
The female court guards nodded very cautiously. Apart from the emperor, he is probably the only man in history who can drive the queen out of the palace to eat hot pot.
"Yunxuan!"
Tan Qingning asked hurriedly: "Why did you come to the harem? What happened? Was the corpse poison stolen?"
"Enter the harem to investigate the case. If you are successful in the investigation, you will be promoted to an official position, but if you are not successful in the investigation, your head will be moved..."
Zhao Guanren said seriously: "The corpse poison was not stolen, but someone in the harem used evil magic to murder the emperor. The most suspected ones at present are the queen and her son. The queen has been locked in the cold palace, the prince has been imprisoned in the East Palace, and Prince Duan and his family are also imprisoned.
In the palace!"
"..."
The faces of the female court guards all changed, and they suddenly felt that the silver on the ground was particularly hot to the touch.
"Now no one knows that it is evil magic. They all think that the corpse poison is lost, and you can't leak the secret..."
Zhao Guanren took out a booklet and said: "Investigating cases is your strong point. This is the clue that will let you know. Let's start with the headless corpse in the Imperial Garden. Don't ask too much about your private life. If you have any secrets, come and report them to me.
, you can’t pretend you didn’t hear it, let alone tell outsiders!”
"grown ups!"
A female court guard stepped forward to take the book and said: "What methods can we use? Can we bring out the suspect to extract a confession? Can ladies also investigate?"
"You must first understand the unspoken rules of the harem. The six maids will be your guides. The favored concubine must be polite, but she can use harsh words to scare her, but she must not use violence..."
Zhao Guanren said: "I will check the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine. The rest can be searched in their bedrooms, but they must be sure. As for the
If the eunuchs and maids don’t cooperate, they’ll be slapped with big mouths. Just don’t slap the eunuchs next to the emperor!”
"I understand the humble position!"
The field guards clasped their fists and bowed.
"You go to work first and then eat..."
Zhao Guanren said: "These gift boxes on the ground have the surnames of each concubine. You list the gifts and register them. If there is a report letter in the box, it must be marked. It is not allowed to be opened privately. Let Tan Qingning check and summarize it. If there are any major clues, we will
tell me!"
Tan Qingning said in surprise: "You are asking them to report each other, no wonder you have to grade them!"
"Clever! None of the ladies in the harem and concubines have clean butts..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and said: "You can't leak the secret. They are all kept in the dark now. The classification is to make them dog eat dog. If someone really sends food or a small amount of silver, such honest people should not investigate. In-depth investigation will not give gifts and
The person who gives the most gifts!”
Bian Yulei asked curiously: "Why? Isn't it bad to give too many gifts?"
"You curious baby, why do you stay up all day long..."
Zhao Guanren scratched her little nose and said with a smile: "Giving too many gifts shows that she is guilty and has the ability to make money in the palace. This kind of person has the highest chance of getting into trouble. Those who don't give gifts are either arrogant or are the real culprits and are worried about causing trouble."
I don’t dare to give gifts!”
"Well! This method is really good. It can greatly improve our efficiency..."
Tan Qingning nodded in agreement, but after the guards picked up their things and went down, she quickly sat down at the table and said: "Why did the emperor let you enter the harem to investigate the case? What will we do if we kill you after the investigation?
Just do this kind of dirty work all the time!”
"The flying birds are gone! Good Gongzang! But he won't dare to silence the birds until they are all beaten..."
Zhao Guanren turned around and said with a smile: "The emperor is not afraid that I will leak the secret, he is afraid that I will quit, so he hurriedly brought my daughters-in-law to the palace. I can't run away if they are here, and he even asked me to go
Pick a few concubines to sleep with and let me have the pleasure of being an emperor!"
"Pfft~"
Bian Xianglan sprayed tea on his face and said anxiously: "Are you going crazy? If you sleep with the ladies, our family will be dissatisfied and executed?"
"I'm not stupid! It's okay to sleep with his woman's hair. I can't sleep with his daughter, but I can't sleep with his wife..."
Zhao Guanren wiped the tea and said with a smile: "Let's eat! The emperor will receive you tomorrow morning. During this period, you have to live in the palace. Don't be restrained. You can be as comfortable as you want. No one in the palace dares to mess with your master now, by the way! He
What kind of prince did you confer on me?"
"Prince Yongshi!"
"What? The prince swimming in shit, the prince swimming in shit..."
"Hahaha……"
The girls held their bellies in their hands and laughed. Unexpectedly, someone outside the door suddenly teased: "Thank you for being a great talent. Prince Yongshi means eternal history. If you are a biological prince, you will be Yongshi."
Prince, this title is so precious!"
"Haha~ The Imperial Concubine is here, let's have something to eat together..."
Zhao Guanren stood up and smiled. He saw the little princess coming with her grandmother, a graceful and elegant old lady. This was Prince Duan's wife. In addition to the queen's second-in-command in the harem, she took the initiative to greet her as soon as she entered the door.
Zhao Guanren bowed his knees and saluted.
"Hmph~ You are so heartless. You don't ask me to eat hot pot. I'll kick you to death..."
The little princess ran over and flirted with him, while the imperial concubine walked towards the back hall with a smile on her face. She only brought two personal old maids behind her. Zhao Guanren followed her tacitly, and walked into the palace where the concubines could only dream of.
In the inner palace of the important queen.
"Hmph~ Why didn't you raid her nest? It would be so cool to raid her nest..."
The little princess crossed her waist arrogantly, while the imperial concubine dragged her gorgeous court clothes that fell to the ground, walked straight to the golden phoenix chair, sat down, and said with a majestic smile: "Your Majesty! Everyone says you have piercing eyes, look at me.
