Chapter 371

Tang Yin wanted to enter the palace. Although the captain felt strange, he did not dare to stop him and immediately asked people to open the palace door. TXT download.

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 was no one on the road, and there were no patrolling guards. It was like a huge dead house.

All in all, this was the first time Tang Yin entered the palace when it was not a court meeting. On the way to the bank, Shangguan Yuanbiao scratched his hair, looked around and whispered: "Sir, this palace is quite scary at night."

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, "It's nonsense."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound like a child crying from above his head. Not to mention Shangguan Yuan Biao was startled, even Qiu Zhen was shaken and looked up hurriedly. Tang Yin, who was next to him, didn't even raise his head and continued to walk forward. At the same time, he said, "Don't look at it, it's a wild cat."

Qiu Zhen took a closer look and found that, as Tang Yin said, there was a big black cat standing on the eaves of the palace next to it. 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. He laughed dryly and said, "I didn't expect there were wild cats in the palace."

Tang Yin rolled his eyes at him and said nothing more. He is not afraid of things like ghosts, and he does not believe in the existence of ghosts. If there really are ghosts in the world, countless people have died at his hands. They would have turned into ghosts to seek revenge on him. How could he let him Live till now.

Shangguan Yuan Biao is not the case. He will not be afraid of any powerful opponent on the battlefield, but is only afraid of mysterious things like ghosts and gods. Confirming that the strange barking in the room was indeed a cat, he wiped his cold sweat, subconsciously quickened his pace, and followed Tang Yin closely.

The person in charge of the palace's treasury has been replaced by someone from the Tianyuan Army, a female officer 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. It was her female soldiers who pulled her up from her sleep and kept saying that the adults were here.

Seeing Tang Yin, the female officer immediately woke up from her sleep, bowed and saluted, and said in a rough voice: "My lord!"

"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 so bold that she dared to use her own words to suppress him. He raised his eyebrows and did not answer, but stared directly at the female officer. Qiu Zhen on the side sighed and 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 the 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 not bad, 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 treasury has been sorted out, and the huge space is filled with shelves. The shelves are filled with treasures from the palace, of 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, picked out the best ones, and packed them carefully. In a short time, Qiu Zhen had already selected more than ten types 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 is she doing in the bank at this time? Tang Yin didn't want to see her now, but then he thought that if she spread the news about him entering the bank late at night, it would damage his reputation. After thinking for a moment, he secretly expressed trouble and said to the guard: "Let her come closer!"

"Yes! Sir!" The guard agreed and walked out again.

Not long after, the guard led Madam Huarong in, followed by two young maids.

"Oh! Sir Tang came into the palace late at night, I wonder what's the matter?" After entering the silver vault, Madam Huarong did not even look at the rare treasures placed around, her eyes swept through the crowd, and when she saw Tang Yin, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked up with a smile and asked slowly.

Tang Yin met her gaze, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and said: "I am here to check the accounts, I wonder what you are here for, Madam?"

"Check the accounts?" Madam Huarong did not answer Tang Yin's question, her eyes turned away, looked at the box full of treasures on the ground, and smiled: "What are these? Sir Tang is not taking advantage of the opportunity to check the accounts to enrich himself? And Sir Tang came into the palace to check the accounts late at night, I'm afraid no one will believe it if it is told out!" As she spoke, she raised her arm, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and smiled at Tang Yin.

Qiu Zhen took a breath, and his brows furrowed even deeper.

Tang Yin's expression did not change, and he looked calm. He took two steps forward, almost touching Madam Huarong, then bent down, leaned close to her ear, and said faintly: "I think Madam is a smart person, and should know what to say and what not to say." At this point, his words had become a naked threat.

Madam Huarong didn't care about Tang Yin's sudden approach, and didn't want to take a step back. She pretended not to understand his words, turned her head, looked directly into Tang Yin's eyes, and said with a smile: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand what Lord Tang is saying."

The distance between the two of them was very close, and if they moved forward a little more, their noses would touch each other. At such a close distance, Tang Yin could clearly feel the fragrance of Madam Huarong's breath sprayed on his face when she spoke. He squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but look at Madam Huarong again.

He knew very well how sharp his eyes were. Not to mention women, even the ministers in the court rarely dared to look him in the eye, but Madam Huarong had the courage. Moreover, it was late at night and she was surrounded by her own guards, but Madam Huarong did not show any fear, which made people feel surprised.

At this time, even Tang Yin began to doubt her identity.

After a pause, Tang Yin stopped his waist, looked down at Madam Huarong, who was half a head shorter than him, and asked, "What do you want?"

Madam Huarong smiled, and suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Lord Tang should have the intention of plotting for the throne, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Plotting for the throne, this can only be said within one's own party. If the rumor spreads out, it is a great rebellion.

Qiu Zhen's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and he turned his eyes to Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao. The two brothers understood Qiu Zhen's intention and immediately grasped the sabers on their waists. As long as Tang Yin gave the order, the two brothers could kill Madam Hua Rong and her two maids immediately.

Tang Yin's expression remained the same, but his deep eyes also flashed green light. The strong murderous aura and spiritual pressure emanating from him made the flames on the surrounding oil lamps tremble.

As if she didn't sense the murderous intent of Tang Yin and the people around her, Madam Huarong still had a smile on her face. She asked with a smile: "What? Lord Tang wants to kill me to silence me?"

Tang Yin did not admit or deny it, but said slowly: "If someone can't control her mouth, I don't mind helping her to shut it up myself."

Madam Huarong giggled and said: "If I die here, I'm afraid Lord Tang won't be able to explain it clearly."

Tang Yin shrugged, confidently and pointedly said: "Someone's death may not leave a body, and no one may find it."

Madam Huarong was amused by his words and laughed repeatedly. After a while, she stopped laughing and said: "The palace is now under the control of Lord Tang. If the wife of the previous king disappears in the palace, Lord Tang can't escape the blame and can't justify himself, right?!"

"..."Tang Yin was speechless by her words.

What a quick-witted and eloquent woman! Tang Yin was secretly surprised.

It would be effortless for him to kill Madam Hua Rong, and it would be easy to dispose of her body. However, there were only so many people in the palace, and the disappearance of a lady would definitely be noticed. Once the news spread, who knows how many rumors that would be detrimental to him and the Tianyuan Army would be generated!
