Chapter 461 Why Are You Silent?

"I don't dare!"

The eight great eunuchs responded in unison, taking out identical cloths with blood inscriptions, holding them high above their heads, and placing their heads directly on the ground.

"The Holy One has clearly observed that Duan Gui rebelled and rebelled, and his crime cannot be punished!"

These great eunuchs are all human beings.

Emperor Yongyuan, who was rumored to be unconscious and whose life or death was uncertain, was sitting in front of them.

Coupled with the commotion in the palace last night, I'm afraid Duan Gui is gone.

In this case, who among the eight eunuchs present would dare to have anything to do with Duan Gui?

Of course, everyone was scrambling to draw a clear line with the rebellious ministers and traitors.

Emperor Yongyuan looked at the reactions of the great eunuchs and smiled coldly.

Wei Chengji also knelt among them, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He had received this cloth with blood writing on it before, and he had just seen clearly what was written on it when he was taken to the Manna Hall.

When I arrived at the Manlu Hall, I saw several other great eunuchs, but the only ones missing were Duan Gui and Zhao Feng, who were the parties involved.

Wei Chengji immediately understood that one of the people involved would definitely not be able to come back.

He guessed that it should be Duan Gui.

Soon after, another person came to the Manlu Hall, and it was Zhao Feng.

In addition, Zhao Feng also brought a wooden box containing a human head.

When his eyes caught sight of the human head in the wooden box, the eight eunuchs kneeling on the ground were all sweating profusely.

"Duan Gui is dead!?"

It's one thing to speculate, but another to see it with your own eyes.

"Zhao Feng, how's the investigation going?"

Emperor Yongyuan asked.

The other eunuchs also became excited.

"The traitor Duan Gui has confessed his crime and will be executed."

"In addition, seven of his accomplices were also revealed."

"Here is Duan Gui's confession. Your Majesty, please read it."

Zhao Feng submitted a so-called "confession."

The other eunuchs listened to Zhao Feng's words and couldn't help but be silent for a moment, thinking that they heard wrongly.

There were a total of eight people here, and Zhao Feng ate seven of them in one go.

"What a huge appetite!"

The other eunuchs all wanted to eat Zhao Feng alive and quickly refuted:

"Your Majesty, this slave has been wronged!"

"Zhao Feng took the opportunity to speak and cut off dissidents. His intention is to be punished!"

"I hope your Majesty will give us justice!"

The eunuchs were all so anxious that they cried for their fathers and mothers.

Duan Gui's matter was a rebellion, not their usual intrigue.

If Zhao Feng's frame-up was really successful, all of them would really have to move their heads.

"quiet!"

There was a commotion in the Ganlu Hall, and a majestic voice sounded faintly.

Everyone suddenly felt a huge pressure covering their whole bodies, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

Wang Xi, the eunuch in charge of the lamp of Emperor Yongyuan, stood aside and scanned the eunuchs.

But no one dared to meet Wang Xi's eyes and quickly lowered their heads.

Wang Xina's not tall figure was as unshakable as a mountain in their eyes.

Wang Xi stepped forward and took the confession from Zhao Feng, and then presented it to Emperor Yongyuan for inspection.

Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but smile as he looked at this confession.

"You all said you were wronged."

"In the confession sent by Zhao Feng, seven people are Duan Gui's accomplices, and one person has nothing to do with this matter."

"Then, I'll ask you again."

Emperor Yongyuan's eyes were filled with amusement.

"Are you really all 'unjustly accused'?"

In an instant, you could hear needles dropping in the Manna Hall.

The eight eunuchs who had been noisy at first did not dare to say anything at this time.

Emperor Yongyuan didn't tell them, how could they know whether they were one of the seven accomplices or the only innocent person.

Cold sweat dripped silently onto the smooth stone tiles.

The silence in the Ganlu Hall lasted for a moment before Emperor Yongyuan spoke again:

"It seems that you don't know whether you were wronged or not."

"In this case, let's cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to conduct a thorough investigation and wash away the grievances on each of us."

"Zhao Feng, if anyone refuses to cooperate with the investigation, Duan Gui will be punished with the same crime."

Looking at the human head in the wooden box in front of them, the eight eunuchs swallowed their mouths and spit.

"Do you have any objections?"

Emperor Yongyuan asked very democratically.

"Your majesty is wise, I am deeply grateful!"

Regardless of whether they were willing or not, the eight eunuchs shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's all get down."

Emperor Yongyuan waved his hand and lost interest in continuing to talk about this matter.

The nine eunuchs respectfully exited the Manna Hall.

When they arrived outside, they stood on two sides with clear distinction.

"Mr. Zhao has made great achievements many times. It is really gratifying and congratulatory."

After a few angry words, the eunuchs walked away directly.

They all knew that the days ahead were going to be difficult.

Now to give Zhao Feng a good face and pray for mercy, that is to extend your face to receive someone's slap.

Who Zhao Feng is, they naturally know best as they are both great eunuchs.

"Guys, walk slowly."

"Zhao is going to cause a lot of trouble these days."

Zhao Feng said with a smile.

Just as the other eunuchs were leaving, Zhao Fengyou suddenly called out to Wei Chengji.

"Aggie."

Wei Chengji stopped.

Although the other eunuchs were still walking out, their steps all slowed down, paying attention to the movement behind them.

Wei Chengji said nothing and looked at Zhao Feng quietly, waiting for his next words.

Zhao Feng patted his shoulder, and then said in a neither gentle nor serious voice:

"That quota is reserved specifically for you, so be sure to seize it."

Wei Chengji's expression immediately changed.

He turned around suddenly and felt clear murderous intent coming towards him from the departing figures.

"Fuck you!"

Wei Chengji was so angry that he gritted his teeth, stared at Zhao Feng and cursed.

"Be quiet in front of the palace, don't disturb His Majesty."

"You are already a grown man, and you are still a senior eunuch in the palace. Don't always be so incompetent."

Zhao Feng taught Wei Chengji a few words and left leisurely with his hands behind his back.

Wei Chengji was so angry that his face turned blue and red, and he finally regained his composure.

Before, rumors about him hooking up with Zhao Feng had been rumored in the palace for a long time, but today it was completely confirmed.

Wei Chengji knew that Zhao Feng was definitely not just talking.

In this investigation, he will definitely ignore himself deliberately and then suppress the other seven people.

When the time comes, Wei Chengji won't be able to do anything.

And more importantly, Wei Chengji has no choice now.

The Duan Gui incident had just occurred, and Wei Chengji could not find a better way to protect himself except cooperating with Zhao Feng.

Although Zhao Feng is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and has His Majesty's Holy Order, it is impossible to get rid of so many eunuchs at once.

There may be Duan Gui's accomplices, but they cannot be seven.

Counting the dead Duan Gui, if there were seven accomplices, that would mean eight out of the ten eunuchs were traitors.

With so many things going against me, I'm afraid things really changed last night.

Everyone knows that Zhao Feng fabricated these words out of thin air in order to investigate other eunuchs.

It would be best if Duan Gui's accomplices could be found, and he could continue to make meritorious deeds.

If it cannot be found, then Zhao Feng will have room to operate.

As for the extent to which Emperor Yongyuan will indulge, only God really knows.

"well--"

Wei Chengji sighed.

"I didn't expect that when I was young, I was suppressed by him. When I am old, I will be accepted as a dog."

…

the other side.

Li Xuan first took Deng Weixian to Jingyang Palace and asked Deng Weixian to report that Yu'er was safe.

The two siblings met, and Yu'er finally let go of her hanging heart.

But after worrying for a day, Yu'er couldn't stop crying for a while. She hugged her brother and checked him up and down several times, for fear that he might have bumped somewhere.

Deng Weixian did not tell him about his experience of being almost killed today. He just said that everything was fine. But because of what happened last night, he could not leave Banyueyuan for too long. He hurriedly reported to Yu'er that he was safe, and then told Princess Ankang. After saluting, he immediately left Jingyang Palace.

Li Xuan naturally had to send him back.

Although there was a team of colorful eunuchs protecting Deng Weixian, he was still a little worried.

It wasn't until Deng Weixian was sent back to Banyue Yuan that Li Xuan felt relieved.

Because Banyueyuan was tightly sealed at this time, in addition to the guards of the imperial army, there were also many eunuchs in colorful clothes.

It seems that Zhao Feng has sent his manpower back again.

It is estimated that when dealing with Duan Gui's people last night, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not have enough manpower, so they temporarily withdrew the guard force of Banyueyuan.

The two eunuchs in Xuanyi seized this gap and tricked Deng Weixian out of it.

"I wonder if the details of those two eunuchs in Xuanyi have been found out?"

The defensive force of Jingyang Palace has not moved, which is why Li Xuan dared to come out for a walk.

Otherwise, with the palace in such chaos now, Li Xuan is really a little worried about leaving only two girls at home.

But now Jingyang Palace is guarded by three teams of colorful eunuchs. Ordinary people should not be able to break through such a guarding force.

More importantly, the two girls have nothing to do with what happened last night.

The top priority right now is to find the other mice hidden in the palace as soon as possible.

Deng Weixian was hunted down probably for the purpose of killing and silencing him.

But now that the two eunuchs in black clothes have been arrested, I am afraid that the other party has also become vigilant and will not be easily found.

Li Xuan went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and soon found Manager Shang by following his breath.

Manager Shang seemed to have been busy for a long time last night and was sitting in the hall with his eyes closed to relax.

He noticed Li Xuan's arrival and slowly opened his eyes.

"Axuan, did you send Xiao Dengzi back?"

Li Xuan nodded, and then asked the questions he was concerned about:

"Have you found out the details of those two eunuchs in Xuanyi?"

Manager Shang shook his head and said with some regret: "They are all dead."

Li Xuan was shocked: "How could it be?"

"They took the poison in advance and did not return on time. The poison was directly transmitted to the prison of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"The clothes they are wearing are not their own, but their identities have been found out. They are all Xiao Huangyi who have just left the Imperial Palace for less than a year. One is working under Duan Gui, and the other is working at Yanqu Palace."

"He has no relatives or friends in the palace and has a low sense of presence. He obviously entered the palace with a mission."

Manager Shang shook his head, obviously dissatisfied with the findings.

"Yanqu Palace? Is it related to Wei Chengji?"

Li Xuan asked curiously.

Manager Shang couldn't help but smile and said, "Although that boy Wei Chengji doesn't have a bright mind, he's not that stupid yet."

Then, Manager Shang's expression turned serious and he continued: "I originally thought that the other mouse must be someone from the palace, but now it seems a little uncertain."

"The arrangements made by the two Xuanyi eunuchs can also be done by people outside the palace, and it is more convenient."

Li Xuan couldn't help feeling embarrassed after hearing Manager Shang's analysis.

"Then the clue to the other mouse is broken, isn't it?"

"Don't worry, Ah Xuan. There are still many details that can be investigated. The stolen clothes, the poison taken, and the people the two of them came into contact with during the year they entered the palace are all entry points, but these will take time to investigate. "Mr. Shang said unhurriedly.

When his old man said this, Li Xuan's originally impatient mood suddenly felt relieved.

"By the way, A Xuan."

"I just have a mission that suits you."

"Are you interested?"

Manager Shang said and asked Li Xuan to come over.

Li Xuan listened carefully and then nodded.

This matter is not difficult for Li Xuan, but there is one thing that he hasn't had time to say to Manager Shang:

"By the way, there's something about that Bileg."

Li Xuan then told what happened last night and attached his guess.

"Can I feel your gaze?"

Manager Shang frowned.

"Axuan, your yin and yang true energy is absolutely undetectable from the breath."

"Because yin and yang true energy is the basic force that makes up the five elements of heaven and earth. Anyone who perceives your disguise is no different from sensing heaven and earth."

"I think your guess is probably close to ten."

"There are always all kinds of capable people and strangers in this world. It is not impossible for Bileg to be able to sense your gaze."

"Generally speaking, people like this are talented people."

"Bileg, he is an interesting person."

Manager Shang narrowed his eyes slightly and paid attention to Bileg's existence.

Originally, Manager Shang didn't have much impression of the leader of the desert mission.

This person seemed to appear out of nowhere.

But looking at it now, Bileg probably has real talent and practical skills.

At least, his cultivation shouldn't be too bad.

After the monk reported the situation, Li Xuan said goodbye and left, leaving the palace and returning to the Desert Pavilion.

In the Desert Pavilion, Li Xuan could not sense the presence of Bileg, nor could the auras of Battle and Meng En.

"Remember last night they said they were preparing for the first round of peace talks."

"You went out so early in the morning and you haven't come back yet?"

Li Xuan looked at the sky and saw that the sun would set in another hour.

"The party is so exciting, do you really want to work hard?"

Moreover, the Desert Mission was not here for peace talks this time. Li Xuan knew their true purpose very well.

It was not until sunset that Li Xuan noticed Bileg's aura from a distance. Beside him, Battle and Meng En were also there.

Li Xuan immediately closed his eyes and used his perception to "see" instead.

Bileg and others were in a good mood when they returned, and it seemed that the "fake peace talks" had made considerable progress.

Tonight, there was no more banquet in the Desert Pavilion, and it was rare for it to become quiet.

Bileg took Barter and Meng En to dine in the room where Wang Zongyu had been entertained before, and they actually talked about the commotion in the palace last night.

Li Xuan originally thought he could hear some secrets, but it turned out that the three guys were talking to each other without knowing anything. In their words, they were also concerned about the safety of Emperor Yongyuan, hoping that he would be fine and not delay the peace talks between the two countries.

Hearing this, Li Xuan still didn't know that these words were specifically meant for him.

"This bastard, you noticed someone was watching you before, and now you're still acting cautiously, right?"

Li Xuan felt his IQ being pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Seeing the three people talking nonsense, Li Xuan also lost his patience.

"Since we are so careful, there is no need to wait any longer."

Li Xuan immediately followed Manager Shang's request and took out a ringing arrow from the Emperor's Bone Ring, and then fired it on the eaves above Bileg and others without hesitation.

call out--

The sounding arrow rose into the air with a sharp and piercing sound.

In the room at Li Xuan's feet, the conversation stopped abruptly.

Within the range of Li Xuan's perception, countless official officials poured into the Sifang Pavilion, led by eunuchs in colorful clothes.

In a short time, the whole area of ​​the Desert Pavilion was surrounded by people, and the crowd was filled with water.

Bileg and others walked out of the room, already hearing the commotion outside.

But all three of them looked up at the sky with relaxed expressions.

There was even a faint smile on Bileg's face.

But at this moment, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly widened in the distance.

The smile on Bileg's face instantly disappeared.

Meng En noticed that Bileg's expression was abnormal and immediately asked:

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Bileg looked solemn and shook his head, saying nothing.

Li Xuan saw that Bileg's reaction was as expected by Chief Shang, so he nodded and left.

Although he didn't understand the reason why Manager Shang asked him to do this, it seemed that Bileg's face was quite ugly.

Li Xuan's thoughts are simple.

Bileg was unhappy, so he was happy.

Li Xuan went back to resume his life briskly.

Bileg, who was still in the Desert Pavilion, looked around and finally sighed helplessly.

"Are you watching all the time..."
