Chapter 1543 Jin An's Plan to Kidnap the Eunuchs Around the Queen

The Criminal Investigation Department was busy from the first half of the night to the second half of the night.

In the first half of the night, the spice shop was raided, which caused a lot of discussion among the people, and various speculations and rumors spread.

In the second half of the night, the residence of the academician of Taiyuan Hospital was raided. This time it not only caused a sensation among the people, but also the upper-class officials in Beijing stayed up all night. All kinds of informants were mobilized to seek information from the Criminal Investigation Department through connections.

Soon after, news spread that the academician of the Taiyuan Hospital was a traitor to the enemy and had been bribed by the Steppe Khanate seven years ago. He even recently wanted to find an opportunity to poison the Holy King and avenge the fall of the Steppe Khanate. News spread.

Hearing that Cheng Baiqing was planning to poison Emperor Kang Zhao, everyone was in danger. All the forces in the capital tried their best to distance themselves from the Taiyuan Hospital, fearing that they would be burned.

That night, no noble family dared to challenge the Xing Cha Si, and no one dared to stand up for the Spice Shop and make things difficult for the Xing Cha Si.

Everyone was speculating whether the Criminal Investigation Department had received any instructions from the Holy Oracle, so they dared to act so vigorously, raiding the spice shop and the residence of the academician of the Taiyuan Hospital.

If the Criminal Investigation Division has not received instructions from the Holy Oracle, the various forces in the capital will not believe anything they say. Whether it is the interests involved in the spice shop or the status of an academician of the Taiyuan Hospital, they have exceeded the powers of the Criminal Investigation Division. .

These intertwined forces have been entrenched in the capital for a long time. They are accustomed to looking at the partisan struggles in the capital from a secular perspective, ignoring that the current commander of the Criminal Investigation Department is still a martial artist.

The words of the old Taoist priest gave Jin An some inspiration. He wrote two files overnight, and then took a Biwan carriage to arrive at the gate of the palace overnight.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the square outside the palace gate for half a stick of incense, the palace gate opened, and several eunuchs and a group of young eunuchs rode out of the palace gate overnight.

The sound of horse hooves stopped suddenly just as they ran out of the palace gate. Looking at the horse carriage parked outside the palace gate, the eunuchs and eunuchs all looked surprised.

"My family has long heard about the detective Shenwuhou, and we have heard about Shenwuhou's previous case-solving deeds. However, according to our family, those case-solving deeds are far from describing Shenwuhou's wisdom and martial arts to the fullest. Tonight, Shenwuhou Not only did he become famous in one battle, but he was also able to guess the thoughts of the Holy Lord in advance and waited at the palace gate in advance. "

The eunuch who spoke was an old acquaintance, and he had delivered several imperial edicts.

"Pass the Holy Master's oral message, and Xuan Shen Wuhou will immediately go to the palace to pay homage."

"Marquis Shenwu, please."

All the eunuchs in the chamber dismounted and respectfully welcomed Marquis Shenwu into the palace.

royal palace.

Hall of Wende.

This is the second time Jin An has entered Wende Hall, and he feels a little more familiar and calm about strolling around than the last time he came.

Emperor Kang Zhao in the Hall of Wende was not wearing a dragon robe this time, but was wearing regular clothes and lighting up the lamp to review the memorial. It seemed that Emperor Kang Zhao had just woken up and hurriedly summoned Jin An.

"Marquis Shenwu, you brought me a big surprise tonight, but I was so shocked that I couldn't close my eyes. Whenever I closed my eyes, I felt like I saw someone planning to poison me and poison me."

"Since Taiyuan Hospital wants to poison me, will Shangshi Bureau poison me?"

"Since the Shangshi Bureau can poison me, will someone poison me in the Yuchen Palace where I go most often?"

Emperor Kang Zhao clapped his hands in shock and anger, and Long Yan was furious. He asked every question, but every sentence was angry.

All the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the Palace of Wende were so frightened that they collectively knelt down, trembling, and did not dare to speak out.

Jin An took a few steps forward with a calm expression and placed the two closing files he had prepared in advance on the desk in front of Emperor Kang Zhao.

Emperor Kang Zhao picked up the file and browsed it quickly, then his expression changed, and he said angrily in a deep voice: "There is such a thing!"

"How many concubines in my harem are using Tiangong Miaoge Rouge!"

Emperor Kang Zhao seemed to be furious this time, but in fact he was asking the old eunuch beside him.

It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger. If you can't learn to understand the emperor's thoughts, you won't know where you went wrong even if you were beheaded. How can you become the head of the chamberlain department?

The eunuch who was serving Emperor Kang Zhao put his head on the ground and replied in a frightened voice: "Report to your Majesty, no, not much."

These old eunuchs are very good at observing people's words. Although they did not see what was written in the file, they somewhat guessed that it would not be a good thing to be related to the academician of Taiyuan Hospital. He had answered Emperor Kang Zhao's inquiry and did not offend. Long Yan left room for Emperor Kang Zhao and took care of Emperor Kang Zhao's face.

Emperor Kang Zhao was very angry at the moment. After Long Yan's anger subsided, it would not be too late to quietly submit the list in private.

"Trash, you can't even handle such a small thing. If I don't get a good man like Shenwuhou this time, I won't be able to count on you even if I am poisoned by traitors a hundred times!" Emperor Kang Zhao vented his anger and cursed, and continued to browse the case files in his hand.

When Emperor Kang Zhao scolded him for being useless, the old eunuch, instead of panicking, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Kang Zhao could still curse at people at this moment, at least he could vent his anger. I'm afraid that Emperor Kang Zhao's silence will make people unable to guess his thoughts, and many heads will fall to the ground.

The more Emperor Kang Zhao read the files, the more frightened and angry he became. After finishing the two files, he rubbed his temples, which were swollen and painful, and looked tired.

There was silence in Wende Hall for a long time, with only the crackling sound of lamp oil burning.

"Marquis Shenwu, have you found out about the Tiangong Miao Pavilion rouge? Have you verified it again and again? Is there possible misunderstanding?" Emperor Kang Zhao looked at Jin An with a headache.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem. It's impossible for them all to fall into the cold palace overnight, right?

When the time comes, there is no need to wait for the restoration of the Steppe Khanate to take revenge. The clan forces behind the three thousand concubines in the harem will unite to cause trouble, and the internal chaos will begin first.

By the time the harem is on fire, it will be too late.

Although the old eunuch beside him just said that there were not many imperial concubines who used Tiangong Miaoge rouge, with the emperor's mind-controlling technique that Emperor Kang Zhao had been using for many years, how could he not guess the thoughts of these people below.

If there were really not many people, he would have directly said the number of people.

Not daring to say the number of people and answering vaguely, it means that there must be quite a few concubines in the harem who used Tiangong Miaoge rouge-like powder.

Jin An answered calmly: "I have a Taoist priest named Chen in Wuzang Taoist Temple. The unique detoxification pills he made can not only test for poison but also detoxify rouge. Even if the imperial concubines are not poisoned, taking the unique detoxification pills can strengthen their bodies, replenish blood and nourish their skin. Taoist priest Chen is traveling with me and is now waiting in the Bi'an carriage outside the palace gate."

When Emperor Kang Zhao heard this, he said with joy: "Quickly summon Taoist priest Chen to the palace to detoxify and treat diseases."

Immediately, a eunuch got up and went out to summon the old Taoist priest.

Jinan reported another matter: "The rouge poisoning case involves a wide range of people. Almost all the women in the capital are involved. These women need to be examined one by one to see if there are any signs of poisoning. If there are any poisoned, they need to take Taoist Chen's unique detoxification pills."

Emperor Kang Zhao's expression sank: "How should the body be examined?"

Jinan replied calmly: "Anyone who swallows the detoxification pills and has no reaction will pass the body examination."

Emperor Kang Zhao's face relaxed: "It should be examined. I will order someone to draft an oral order tomorrow, ordering all civil and military officials to bring their families to the Wuzang Taoist Temple for a body examination."

After speaking, Emperor Kang Zhao's voice sank , with a dragon's might: "Shenwu Hou, listen to my order."

"You are the commander of the Criminal Investigation Department and the supervisor of the three departments. You have made merit in hunting down the traitors this time. Stopping Yanzhi's poisoning case is your second merit. Stopping someone in the Imperial Hospital from plotting to poison me is your third merit. You will be rewarded with gold, silver and jewelry."

"I have appointed you with full authority to hunt down the remaining traitors, to clear my court and protect the stability of the country. Anyone who stops you has the right to behead first and report later. When all these remaining traitors are cleared, I will promote you and celebrate your success in person."

The old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground trembled when he heard this.

This time he was almost poisoned. The Holy King was very angry this time. He actually appointed Shenwu Hou as the imperial envoy and gave him such a great privilege.

From now on, whoever dares to touch the Criminal Investigation Department will be suspected of rebellion. The Criminal Investigation Department can behead first and report later.

…

…

When Jin’an left the Wende Hall, he did not leave immediately, but waited for the old Taoist priest to enter the Wende Hall and meet Emperor Kang Zhao. Then the two followed the eunuch who led the way and left together.

It was the first time for the old Taoist priest to enter the palace. When he came, he kept talking and looking excited, and kept exclaiming that the palace was so big.

When he went back, he was frowning all the way: "Little brother, you have made me suffer this time. Do you know how many concubines there are in the harem? Where can I get so many detoxification pills?"

Jin’an answered as a matter of course: "Didn’t the storyteller say that there are three thousand beauties in the harem?"

The old Taoist priest rolled his eyes: "You know there are three thousand beauties in the harem, but you still recommend my detoxification pills to detoxify people..."

Jin’an gave a look, and the old Taoist priest stopped talking in time.

Jin An: "Although I presented two files, one real and one fake, the real one is in the hands of Emperor Kang Zhao, and the fake one is used to stabilize the people's hearts, but there is no wall that is impenetrable in the world, so I need your unique detoxification pill to give Emperor Kang Zhao a way out for the civil and military officials."

"Your detoxification pill can not only detoxify, but also relieve people's worries."

The old Taoist priest is a hard-hearted person, and he can't stand praise the most. Seeing that his unique detoxification pill was praised so miraculously by Jin An, he immediately felt refreshed and said with a dragon-like and tiger-like gait: "Just now, I, the old Taoist priest, have promised the emperor, isn't it Three thousand detoxification pills? Even if I don't eat or drink, I will refine three thousand detoxification pills. "

"As long as I refine three thousand detoxification pills, the emperor will agree to personally give me a name and appoint me as an imperial physician."

Jin'an gave a thumbs up: "I'm counting on you, old Taoist."

The old Taoist priest was very proud and straightened his back: "That's right, I'm still as good as ever."

The eunuch who was walking in front and leading the way was so scared that he dared not breathe after hearing the shocking remarks of Jin'an and the other person behind him, fearing that if he heard one more word he shouldn't hear, he would be beheaded.

...

When Jin'an and the old Taoist priest returned to the Bi'an carriage parked outside the imperial city, Deputy Commander Sun whispered to Jin'an: "Commander, do you remember the carriage that appeared in the spice shop from the Ministry of Eunuchs? I just saw that carriage again."

Oh?

Jin'an raised his eyebrows.

Deputy Commander Sun lowered his voice and said, "It's Deputy Eunuch Wei, the middle noble beside the queen."

"But what's strange is that the carriage was hurried out of the imperial city, not returning from the outside. Deputy Eunuch Wei's carriage seemed to have returned to the imperial city in advance, and then went out again for some unknown reason?"

After Jin An boarded the Bi'an carriage, he did not leave immediately, but asked the convoy to wait outside the imperial city.

This wait lasted for an hour, and the sky gradually brightened, illuminating a layer of clear fish belly white.

Da Da--

Da Da--

The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the square in front of the imperial city. Deputy Commander Sun whispered outside the carriage: "Commander, Deputy Eunuch Wei's carriage is back."

"Deputy Eunuch Wei is riding in the carriage, and he is lifting the curtain to look at us."

Ah!

Deputy Commander Sun was stunned!

Jin An sat in the Bi'an carriage and said in a deep voice, "Emperor Kang Zhao has appointed me to search for the remnants of the Prairie Khanate. If I am prevented from doing so, I have the right to execute them first and report to you later."

"Deputy Chamberlain Wei of the Ministry of Internal Affairs appeared outside the spice shop tonight, and now he just returned to the imperial city from outside, acting suspiciously. I now suspect that Deputy Chamberlain Wei is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he was taken back to the Water Prison of the Criminal Investigation Division and tortured. "

Deputy Commander Sun sang loudly, and not long after, a loud quarrel came from the square outside the imperial city. A thin-skinned eunuch who was tied up with a strip of cloth in his mouth was roughly thrown into the carriage by Deputy Commander Sun. inside.

Several young eunuchs ran to the Imperial City, crying, to fetch reinforcements from the Forbidden Army.

But the Imperial Guards were slow to leave the city.

It was obvious that he had gotten wind of the situation and knew that the Criminal Investigation Department was at its peak, so he did not want to wade into this muddy water.

One is a person just appointed by the emperor, who has the power of life and death, and the other is a noble person around the queen. They are all the family affairs of Emperor Kang Zhao, and they are not easy to manage.

Moreover, Jin An's shooting of a Rakshasa man in public outside the imperial city happened just a few months ago, and his aura of intimidation was still there.

In the end, Jin'an kidnapped the nobles around the queen in front of the Imperial City's imperial guards, and left smoothly. No one dared to stop him, for fear of being accused of treason.

The old Taoist priest in the Biwan carriage was dumbfounded when he saw Jin An blatantly kidnapping the queen's favorites.

Jin An saw that the old Taoist priest looked worried, so he explained: "Old Taoist, do you know why I let people deliberately let out the news that the academicians of the Taiyuan Hospital colluded with foreigners to poison Emperor Kang Zhao?"

The old Taoist priest was not stupid. After the initial shock, he took a deep breath and came to his senses. He was surprised and said: "Old Taoist, I was still curious before. Only you and I know about this matter. How did the news leak out? I didn't expect that it was a little kid." Brother, you deliberately let the news out."

"Little brother, are you trying to say that it's because of this person named Wei?"

Jin An sneered and said: "Emperor Kang Zhao didn't give me any rewards this time. He just promised me a verbal reward to celebrate my achievements afterwards. It was clearly to prevent me from being promoted too quickly and making a great achievement in the end."

"So he promised a verbal reward, not only to make me burst into tears of gratitude, but also to make me relieve his worries and eliminate the remaining foreign gangs. At the same time, he made all the officials in the capital fear me, exclude me, and not dare to get too close to me, especially those behind the spice shop. Interests are intertwined. The more Emperor Kang Zhao praises me too much, the interest groups behind the Spice Factory will only see me as a thorn in their side, and their resentment will be difficult to quell. "

"These all serve only one purpose, to trap me in the quagmire of secular power struggles, making me exhausted from dealing with the court's abuses and deceptions, and unable to distract myself from other things."

Jin An continued to sneer and said: "But I didn't plan to ask for any reward in the first place. It is enough to make Emperor Kang Zhao feel that someone will threaten him to continue to sit on the throne and order me to continue investigating the case of collaboration with the enemy and treason."

"The unintentional discovery of the academician of Taiyuan Hospital this time just gave us a legitimate reason to continue to pursue the clues of the spice shop in an open and honest manner. We can also catch this eunuch openly and openly, which saves many steps of the slow and secret investigation."

The case of collaboration with the enemy and treason was discovered, and the goods were received accidentally.

Jin An has never forgotten that the real purpose of his action this time was to deliberately scare the snake and scare the mastermind behind the scenes.
