Chapter 1618: The Holy Emperor's Jade Seal!

? Chapter 1618

Hearing Li Jingzhong's words, a bright brilliance flashed in Li Heng's eyes for an instant, but he shook his head quickly, and the look in Li Heng's eyes gradually dimmed.

"However, what happened this time is not trivial. I heard that my personal jade pendant was found in Concubine Xiao Yu's bedroom. I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

When it came to Li Heng's wry smile, he still felt the whole thing was inexplicable until now, but all the evidences did point to him, which made him unable to argue.

"Your Highness, don't be discouraged. If you have done it, you have done it. If you haven't done it, you haven't done it. It's fine if others don't believe it. But I've been with the foreign king and His Highness for so long, so I naturally know what's going on. And, Your Highness, have you forgotten? At the time of the Southwest War and the Talas War, when the foreign king first went, not everyone thought it was impossible. The opponent was much stronger than us. At that time, the danger was much greater than we are now, but the foreign king is still the same It was done, even in the court, the Confucian eldest prince and the king of Qi were colluding and almost controlled the entire court, but recently they were not frustrated at the hands of foreign kings. Even the eldest prince, although he hated him to death, still had to Don't reward him with a seventh-rank civil post."

Li Jingzhong said from the side.

If Wang Chong heard these words from the side, he would be very surprised, and he would look at Li Jingzhong with admiration.

Li Jingzhong, the number one treacherous eunuch in the Tang Dynasty in his eyes, was actually the one who had the most confidence in him, almost blind.

On the other side, after hearing Li Jingzhong's words, Fifth Prince Li Heng also thought of something, and the gloom between his brows also dissipated a lot. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

During the border time not long ago, he had been paying attention in the palace. When he heard that the eldest prince had to reward Wang Chong as a seventh-rank civil servant, and also smashed many treasures in the palace, Li Heng almost laughed out loud. .

Indeed, there seems to be an incredible power in Wang Chong, like a bamboo shoot that breaks out of the ground. It seems that the toughness shown in Wang Chong is extremely impressive, as if there is nothing in this world. Something can stop him. As a friend it's definitely the best ally

And as an enemy, Wang Chong is definitely the kind of enemy that no one wants to meet.

"Indeed, I am alone and helpless in the palace, the foreign king, and now only you can help me!"

Lifting his head, Li Heng secretly said in his heart.

...

The clan mansion is divided into the inner mansion and the outer mansion.

The Outer Palace is located outside the imperial palace and is exclusively for the disciples of the clan. The Inner Palace is located in a remote corner in the northwest of the Imperial Palace and is exclusively for the children of the royal family, including maids, concubines, and eunuchs who have made mistakes in the palace. Everything belongs to the clan. People's Government Jurisdiction.

With the wheels of the carriage, it took only a moment to arrive at the clan mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Wang Chong looked up and saw a gray-black cornice, which was gloomy and oppressive. It was completely different from the resplendent and resplendent colors of the imperial palace. The waves washed over like ocean waves. As Yang Zhao said, the guards around the clan mansion are densely packed, much stricter than any other part of the palace, and the jailers of the clan mansion have fierce eyes and look very vigilant. Approaching, a pair of vicious eyes looked over, even though one of the two is the God of War of the Tang Dynasty, with superior strength, and the other is the cousin of Concubine Taizhen, with a prominent status, but the jailer looked at the two of them just like everyone else .

"The jailers of the Zongren Mansion are very special. They have been stationed here for most of their lives, and they never communicate with other imperial guards and Jinwu Guards. They don't know any of them."

Yang Zhao said from the side.

"But fortunately, there is the holy emperor's token with the empress. When I first entered the palace, I was also quite curious about the clan mansion. Relying on the power of the empress, I took the holy emperor's token and went in once. , otherwise I really can’t guarantee that I can take you in.”

As Yang Zhao said, he smiled slightly, turned a blind eye to the vicious jailers around him, stepped forward, led the way, and led Wang Chong towards the Zongren Mansion.

This action immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding jailers, but Yang Zhao didn't panic, he didn't wait for these people to speak, stepped forward to stop them, and immediately took out the five-clawed golden dragon token from his bosom, ready to show it to the jailers of the clan mansion look.

However, it was too late to say it, and at this moment, something unexpected happened to the two of them. Before Yang Zhao could show his token, there was a clanging sound of armor vibrating, accompanied by the sound of heavy and powerful footsteps. It came from both sides of the mansion. Two rows of more than a dozen bodyguards of the clan's mansion held halberds and suddenly ran out from both sides. They didn't even look at Wang Chong and Yang Zhao. As soon as they appeared, they went straight to the gate.

"Come here! Close the gate of the clan mansion. There is an order above. Anyone who waits is strictly prohibited from entering the clan mansion within seven days. All mortals who need to be picked up will be postponed for seven days!"

The leader of the jailers turned their backs to Wang Chong and Yang Zhao, and pointed to the tall dark black bronze doorway of the clan mansion.

"boom!"

In the eyes of everyone, the two heavy doors seven or eight meters high of the clan mansion were quickly closed. On both sides, two jailers from the clan mansion rushed forward and took out two arm-thick black iron chains to wear. Pass the deadbolt and lock the two doors. Behind them, two jailers followed closely, and with one hand, they quickly pasted two seals on the gate of the clan mansion. On the staggered seals, one reads the place of prison, and the other reads that trespassers will die, and a large scarlet seal is stamped on it. Once anyone breaks in, the seal will be torn, and it will be clear at a glance.

"Here, what's going on here?!"

Seeing this scene happening right under his nose, Yang Zhao looked ugly, stunned, unable to utter a word. It would be too coincidental to close the clan mansion at this time, whether it was early or late.

Wang Chong stood behind, frowning slightly.

"What's going on here? What are you doing?!"

Yang Zhao's face was gloomy, and he immediately stepped forward and shouted sharply.

"Who are you? Can you meddle in the affairs of the clan mansion!"

Unexpectedly, the chief jailer of the clan's mansion heard these words and turned his head with an extremely stern expression.

"Bastard! What are you talking about!"

Yang Zhao looked at the leader of the prison guards, his brows fluttered, and he was very angry. He just boasted about Haikou in front of Wang Chong, and now the clan mansion is closed in front of his eyes, and entry is strictly prohibited for seven days. Lost face in front of Wang Chong.

Without saying a word, Yang Zhao immediately raised the golden five-clawed golden dragon token in his hand.

In mid-air, the token shone extremely brightly, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Seeing the golden dragon on the token, the surrounding jailers couldn't help but change their expressions slightly.

"I order you, open the gate, and the foreign king and I are going in now!"

Yang Zhao said sharply.

"Hmph, even if you have the token of the Holy Emperor, it's still not allowed. No entry, just no entry! Within seven days, no one can enter the clan mansion!"

Unexpectedly, the leader of the jailers sneered. Even when he saw the five-clawed golden dragon token in Yang Zhao's hand, his attitude was tough and did not change in the slightest.

"You are so brave!"

Yang Zhao was furious, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

Yang Zhao was backed by Concubine Taizhen, and almost no one dared to provoke him in the palace. But Yang Zhao came up from the bottom. He is tactful and good at dancing, so he seldom uses his status to oppress others.

In this palace, there are very few things he can't do, but this time, Yang Zhao never expected that he had already taken out the Holy Emperor's Token, and was actually made things difficult by a jailer. Don't go to the clan mansion.

You know, he just boasted in front of Wang Chong.

"Bastard, believe it or not I took your head off!"

Yang Zhao said angrily.

"Forget it, let's go!"

Just when Yang Zhao was furious, a voice came from beside his ear, and at the same time a palm stretched out, pressing on Yang Zhao's shoulder, stopping him.

"Wang Chong?"

Yang Zhao originally wanted to yell at him, but when he turned around, he was stunned when he saw Wang Chong behind him.

"Since the clan mansion is strictly forbidden to enter for seven days, then we just don't enter."

Wang Chong said calmly, much calmer than Yang Zhao expected.

"However, if you don't see the Fifth Prince, and you can't ask for a lot of key information, wouldn't it be impossible for you to start?"

Yang Zhao said.

"Oh, no need. I've got the news I want."

Unexpectedly, Wang Chong just smiled lightly without explaining too much. He looked at the two seals on the gate, and a blazing light flashed in his eyes.

At the ends of the two seals on the gate of the clan mansion, the two vermilion seals were extremely glaring. Wang Chong recognized them immediately with just one glance.

Holy Emperor's Seal!

"Ordered by the heavens, longevity and advocacy." These eight words are known even to children in the folk. They are the symbol of the Holy Emperor and the most powerful thing in the entire empire.

In this regard, even the five-clawed golden dragon token in Yang Zhao's hand cannot compare with it.

This thing was stamped on the gate seal of the clan's mansion, so it's no wonder that the leader of the prison guards was diametrically opposed. Even when he saw the token in Yang Zhao's hand, he didn't back down.

"Elder Prince!"

In the blink of an eye, a thought flitted through his mind. Although he couldn't enter the clan's mansion and he couldn't see the fifth prince, but for Wang Chong, when he saw the vermilion holy emperor's seal on the seal, Everything is already understood.

If at the gate of the palace, when Wang Chong heard Yang Zhao's words, he still had doubts in his heart, and there was no solid evidence. Certainly.

This chaos in the palace, the affair between the fifth prince and Concubine Xiao Yu, including the death of Concubine Xiao Yu... behind all these, there is a person hidden——

Great Prince!

The Holy Emperor has retired, and now in the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no one other than the First Prince who can take charge of that Fang Shengxie and seal the clan mansion.

"Let's go! Take me to Xiao Yufei's bedroom again!"

Wang Chong said in a deep voice, since there is no way for Li Heng to meet in person, he can only start with Concubine Xiao Yu who has passed away. The evidence was found in Concubine Xiao Yu's bedroom, so it can only be done from there.

Swish, the next moment, before Yang Zhao could react, Wang Chong flicked his sleeve, turned around immediately, and walked towards the carriage.

Behind him, Yang Zhao was stunned. Seeing that Wang Chong had entered the carriage, he hurriedly chased him in:

"Wait for me!"

The carriage rolled, and the two left quickly.
