It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

It was near evening that Liu Yao came out of Peony Garden and arrived at the Forbidden City.

He was originally going to leave the palace after the Great Cold Banquet, but because of such a big incident, many people needed to investigate again.Especially since he was in the front row at the time and knew the secrets of making the shakuhachi, he stayed a little longer and explained the key to it in detail with Yuan Jianshuo and Mao Hongbin - how to make the baby's spine.

This made both of them feel that Mu Zhaozhong was too cruel.

"Using the dead spines of two children to summon another child is a witchcraft trick in itself, and it is destructive." Mao Hongbin finished writing all the copy and put down the pen, "How can it be a death with a knife? It should be a car break." That’s good.”

Yuan Jianshuo also nodded, "At that time, the prince said to kill, so I killed him. Now I think he should chop a few more times, which is really vicious. He actually thinks that he really loves Jia Nanfeng, which is really disgusting. It's just for glory. Wealth is really unconscionable."

"Well, the Queen was smart and caught him out." Mao Hongbin would never waste an opportunity to praise Yang Xianrong. "Back then, when I lived in Tai'an County, although the Queen was still young, she was very He is smart and can judge theft or fraud. He is very observant at a young age."

"How old was she then?" Liu Yao asked.

"She must be seven or eight years old. Mrs. Xiahou likes her very much and takes her with her every day. From the time she was born, Mrs. Xiahou has taken care of her personally without relying on others. So, the Queen has really won over Xiahou. The true biography of the old lady, so she is so smart." Mao Hongbin couldn't help but sigh again.

Liu Yao and Yuan Jianshuo both nodded in agreement.

"Commander Yuan." A soldier at the door called Yuan Jianshuo.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Jianshuo was just about to eat something to eat. He started checking the eunuch everywhere this morning, and he was so tired that he was thinking first and second.

"Caught a few thieves." The soldier replied.

"What?" Yuan Jianshuo stood up, walked quickly to the door, and opened the door. A cold wind howled, but he ignored it and asked directly: "What was stolen? When? who?"

"Some gold and silver plates, bowls, chopsticks and other items." The soldier handed over a large bundle, which made a jingling sound.

Mao Hongbin also walked over quickly, helped Yuan Jianshuo carry the baggage into the room, and spread it out on the table.

Sure enough, they were all exquisite gold and silverware, some of which were used at the Great Cold Banquet last night.

"How was this discovered?" Mao Hongbin was also very curious, "Was such an item taken away so openly?"

"Sir, when the musicians and dancers left the palace today, some of them seemed to be wearing a lot of clothes and were extremely bloated. So the soldiers guarding the gate were extra careful. It is estimated that if they bumped into one, these gold and silverware would fall. Come out."

"That's so bold! A thief came from the palace!" Yuan Jianshuo slapped the table, "Do you think our Imperial Army are all eating for nothing?"

"Because they wear more clothes in this winter, and there is heavy snow in the sky these two days, they feel that the imperial army's interrogation will not be so strict. In addition, the Great Winter Banquet was so chaotic, and a few gold and silver dishes and chopsticks should not be taken away. I was discovered, so I took action.”

"Kill!" Yuan Jianshuo was not polite at all. "There is no need to report this matter to King Zhao. I, the commander, have the right to kill."

"Killing... is not a big deal, right?" Mao Hongbin pulled Yuan Jianshuo, "It seems too harsh." "Must kill!" Yuan Jianshuo showed no mercy at all, "This kind of person dares to steal in the palace, he Japan will definitely steal bigger and more, and even harm other people's lives just to steal. Must kill! Kill them all! Leave no one behind!"

"Yes." The soldier saluted and went to carry out the order.

Mao Hongbin couldn't bear it and wanted to persuade him a few more words, "It's just a few bowls...this will cost your life..."

"Master Mao, this is not a matter of bowls, this is a matter of rules and systems." Liu Yao on the side said, "This is the palace of Jin Dynasty, and such a serious theft incident occurred. If it spreads in the future, it will also They will definitely say that the Forbidden Army is not keeping strict supervision, and the face of the Forbidden Army will be lost."

"That's what I said, hey..." Mao Hongbin sighed again, "Forget it. These people are wrong too. However, the people are really suffering, especially in recent years. Some people really don't have enough to eat, and some people have begun to suffer. There are more and more refugees, especially Jia Nanfeng’s cousin who has raised an army, really rebelling against him.”

"I heard that this time the queen's eldest brother followed to suppress the rebellion." Yuan Jianshuo turned over the gold and silverware and looked at them, "These things are going to Manager Zhang... Oh, now Zhang Liang is the manager. Taking the position of his master, Master Mao still doesn’t know, right?”

"What? Didn't that Manager Zhang, Zhang Du, do a good job?"

"Hey, there has to be someone who is responsible. Even Zhang Du is unlucky. Fortunately, the person who stole the gold and silverware was caught here, otherwise I would be the next one." Yuan Jianshuo's smile was also a bit sarcastic, "Zhang Du has been a general manager all his life, and then he was kicked out. It's not bad at all."

"Commander Yuan!" Someone called him from the door.

"What's going on?" Yuan Jianshuo was also very irritable. After all, he had not slept for two days and two nights. In addition to the big dark circles and bags under his eyes, he even felt that his hair was falling down. His mood Extremely unhappy.

"Concubine Li, Ru Meiren and several other concubine's family members came to the palace gate and said they wanted to see the queen."

"What are you doing to meet the Queen?" Mao Hongbin couldn't help but say.

"The events of the Great Cold Banquet have been spread, and many people know that it was the remnants of Jian Nanfeng who killed these ladies, and it was the Queen who found out the real culprit last night... Then they want to thank some of the Queens in person, such as the beauty's The elder brother said that he just wanted to kowtow to the Queen, so that his sister did not die unjustly..."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask King Zhao. Besides, the Queen also has to ask." Yuan Jianshuo pressed his forehead, "No, I have to ask the King of Chengdu. He is also in charge of the palace. Big and small things... Hey, this Jia Nanfeng is really dead. He is still so restless and causing so many troubles. It is really exhausting me to death."

"Commander Yuan!" Another soldier stood at the door.

"What's going on?" Yuan Jianshuo's voice was so loud that Mao Hongbin almost threw the golden bowl in his hand to the ground.

"The Governor of Jingzhou, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Shi, the Guanglu doctor, had a quarrel at the gate of the palace. They might want to start a fight... Why don't you go out and have a look?" The soldiers saw that Yuan Jianshuo's expression was not good, and he spoke a little cautiously and quietly. Step back.

"Why are you quarreling? There must be a reason, right?" Yuan Jianshuo said.

"You... you'll know when you go out and take a look. Even my subordinates can't describe it." The soldier retreated again, and then retreated again.
