[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

"Master Tong Jia, what are you doing?" Fucha Fu Heng was really scheming. Even when he saw An Lurong being captured at this moment, he didn't see any abnormality in his expression, but his eyes were darkened, and he asked aloud.

"Master Fucha wants to ask why this eunuch was arrested by me?" Tong Jia Wumu's face was full of joy, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, he pulled the corners of his lips, and grabbed An Lurong's collar unceremoniously He lifted An Lurong up to him like he was holding a chicken, and then let go of his hand, letting An Lurong fall heavily to the ground, grinning in pain.

The people who came here because of the commotion here saw this scene, couldn't help but gasped with toothache and eye pain.

A sharp-eyed person recognized An Lurong's identity at a glance, and said in surprise, "Isn't this Mr. An?"

Xita Lamutai, who just came over, was stunned when he heard this. He went to An Lu Rongke who was lying on the ground and was tied up in a ball. His eyelids twitched. Isn't it Eunuch An who is serving by the empress?

How is this going?Has Tong Jia Wumu finally been driven crazy? !

Xita Lamutai took three steps and made two steps, pushed away the person in front, walked up to him, showed an angry face, and pointed at Tong Jia Wumu, "Master Tong Jia, you tied up Eunuch An, is it right?" Crazy?! Hurry up and untie Eunuch An."

Tong Jia Wumu glanced at him coldly, and said with a sneer: "Lord Xi Tara, you haven't figured out the situation yet, and you want me to release this eunuch. Could it be that you are with him?"

The questioning in his words made Hitaramatai's eyelids twitch.

Xita Lamutai glanced at An Lurong who was in a state of distress and panic, and wondered in his heart if this An Lurong had done something he shouldn't have done. When he thought of this, his courteous attitude just now was somewhat dispelled, and he hesitated. He asked calmly: "You can't talk nonsense, what did Mr. An do wrong?"

"What mistake did we make? Let's wait until Long Live Lord." Tong Jia Wumu pulled the corners of his lips, showing a cruel smile, "It just so happens that the two adults are also here, let's go together."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fucha Fu Heng provocatively.

Fucha Fu Heng folded his hands behind his back, a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"An Lurong was arrested by Manager Tong Jia?" The queen, who was copying the Buddhist scriptures, paused, raised her head, frowned when she heard Madam Liu's voice outside, and said, "What's the matter, come in and answer .”

Nanny Liu said yes, and walked into the study with Duanrong who came back from inquiring about the news.

Duan Rong saluted, with sweat on his forehead, "Madam, just now the servants heard the news that Chief Tong Jia had arrested Eunuch An and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet Lord Longevity, and Chief Fucha and Chief Sitara were also with him. .”

"Do you know why?" The queen immediately put down the brush in her hand and asked with a look of astonishment and confusion on her face.

"The servant is incompetent, so I couldn't find out." Duan Rong said cautiously.

The queen gave her a nonchalant look, then looked sideways at Nanny Liu, and was about to ask her to mobilize contacts to inquire about the situation, when the maid came to report that Li Yu had arrived.

The queen's face was slightly condensed, Li Yu's speech was too fast, and she didn't have time to investigate the situation clearly.What did An Lurong do to make such a big fuss.

"Ask him to come in." The queen glanced at Nanny Liu and Duan Rong, who immediately understood and stood beside her.

After Li Yu came in, he quickly stated his intentions, "Empress Empress, Lord Long Live announces that you will go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to face the Holy Spirit."

The queen smiled, took a sip of tea without haste, and then said: "Eunuch Li, why did Long Live suddenly summon me?"

Li Yu didn't raise his head, but lowered his head, looking at the red bricks on the ground, "Your Majesty, I don't know much about it, but Lord Long Live not only summoned you, but also summoned other empresses."

The empress was dissatisfied, this Li Yu was really incompetent, but fortunately, he was smart and showed himself a little bit.But the news is not good news.

If it's just a trivial matter, the Lord Long Live would just order her to face the saint, why invite other concubines to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The queen was a little worried, her face was not showing, and she calmly took the chariot to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When she arrived, she walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and saw that many concubines had already arrived in the room, such as Concubine Gao, Concubine Chun, Concubine Xian and others had already arrived.

Seeing the queen coming, everyone bowed their knees and saluted, "Greetings to the empress."

"My sisters, you don't have to be polite. You don't have to be polite when you get up." The queen smiled softly, her eyes rolled, and she looked at Fucha Fu Heng as if she had nothing to do.

When she saw Fucha Fu Heng shaking her head imperceptibly, her heart sank.

"The queen came just in time. Is this An Lurong the eunuch serving in your palace?" Qianlong's brows and eyes were covered with a layer of anger, and his voice was hoarse and majestic.

The queen glanced at An Lurong who was kneeling in the hall, with a puzzled look on her face, "Long Live Lord, An Lurong is indeed serving his concubine, what did he do to get arrested?"

"You might as well ask him yourself!" Qianlong's anger could hardly be suppressed.

The queen tightened her palms, which were already covered with cold sweat, "Eunuch An!"

"Empress, the slave was confused for a while, and the lard was blinded, so he took the property you rewarded as a pawn in the palace. Madam, please spare me." An Lurong walked up to the queen, kowtowed in front of the queen and begged for mercy .

The queen's breathing stopped, and her head buzzed instantly, so she wouldn't foolishly believe An Lurong's nonsense, if she just pawned something she rewarded, then An Lurong wouldn't be caught here.

This guy has always been greedy for money, I'm afraid the origin of the pawned property is unknown!

"Presumptuous! You still want to lie in front of Lord Long Live. If you did nothing wrong, how could Lord Tong Jia arrest you!" the queen asked sharply.

Tong Jia Wumu's eyes flickered, the queen's reaction was really fast, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to cheat her once, in order to avenge Fucha Fu Heng earlier, Tong Jia Wumu smiled and said: "The empress is really Mingjian, this An Lurong's pawns are all stolen goods, and the servants searched the pawn shop for some unsold gold and silver jewelry, all of which are belongings from the palace."

When he said this, he raised his chin towards Zhou An.

Zhou An stepped forward with a little eunuch, and opened the bag that the little eunuch was holding. When the gold and silver jewelry inside were revealed, the queen's face turned black instantly.

She knew at a glance that Tong Jia Wumu hadn't lied, and these jewelry had nothing to do with her.

"Ah!" Concubine Jia exclaimed suddenly, she covered her mouth, widened her eyes, and pointed to a peony jade hairpin in the bundle, "The jade hairpin was lost by my concubine earlier, and my concubine thought it was someone from below." I accidentally lost it, why is it here?"

"And the concubine's twisted silk gold bracelet!" Shu Guiren also exclaimed.

"This silver step seems to belong to Ding Guiren..."

The concubines recognized the jewelry in the bundle one after another, and the faces of the empress and Qianlong became increasingly ugly.

Qianlong never liked eunuchs, otherwise he would not have set so many palace rules and regulations for eunuchs after he ascended the throne. The eunuch is so audacious to make such a thing happen!

This is simply stomping Qianlong's face on the ground. What's more, this eunuch belongs to the queen.

If this matter gets out, both the queen and him will become a laughing stock.

"What an Eunuch An, Empress, you are in charge of taking care of the harem, and that's why you took care of such a big rat!" Qianlong slapped the table angrily, with veins bulging on his temples.

The queen's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly knelt down, "Long Live Lord, this concubine knows his mistakes, and my concubine is incapable of discipline. No matter how Long Live Lord punishes my concubine, I will never complain."

"It's not the Queen's fault." Concubine Gao said in a calm and unhurried manner, "How could the Queen know that such a loyal Eunuch An is such a person? Well."

The queen clenched her palms tightly, and a look of cruelty flashed across her eyes.

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qianqian's lips, when it comes to yin and yang, Concubine Gao's ability has improved.These words sounded like an intercession for the empress, but in fact they were arguing.An Lurong is said to be loyal, so did the Queen know about such a rebellious thing by An Lurong who is so loyal?Or maybe this matter was acquiesced by the empress?As for knowing people, knowing the face but not knowing the heart, it is even more murderous.The queen is in charge of the harem, and she is in charge of everything in the harem, and everyone listens to her arrangements. If the queen doesn't even have the ability to know people, then how can she continue to be in charge of the six palaces?

Gu Qianqian turned her eyes, looked at the queen's master and servant who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly, "That's all. How did Eunuch An get so many jewels? The concubine is very curious."

Tong Jia Wumu's eyes lit up, he really needed to figure it out, the fire was already burning, and he wanted to make it burn even more vigorously.

"Long live, what Concubine Xian said is very true. This matter should be thoroughly investigated. It is impossible for Eunuch An to do this alone. He must have a party. If he does not take down his party in one fell swoop, he will definitely be killed in the future." lead to disaster."

An Lurong's face was pale, and sweat dripped down his cheeks. Tong Jia Wumu was right. He did have accomplices. After all, he wanted to steal jewelry from other palaces. blind.

An Lurong is now dead, but he doesn't dare to confess other people. It's not because he is kind-hearted, but because he knows in his heart that if he confesses others, those people will be Soft bones, when the time comes to confess the property stolen in the past few years, the amount will definitely drive Long Live to death, and at that time, he may end up being executed quickly.

An Lurong knew that he had to die, but he wanted to choose a way to die without torture.

"Long Live Lord," Fucha Fu Heng, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth. He clasped his fists and bowed, "I am willing to take charge of thoroughly investigating this matter, and give an explanation to Long Live Lord and all the empresses!"

clever.Gu Qianqian showed some approval on her face, and her eyes swept across Fucha Fu Heng lightly. If this person is one of her own, she doesn't know how much worry she can save.

Instead of handing this matter over to Tong Jia Wumu for investigation and falling into a passive situation, it is better to be ruthless and simply do it by himself. In this way, he knows what the situation is and how to deal with it.

Qianlong frowned, he hesitated.

Gu Qianqian said softly: "Long live, this is a big matter, and the two adults are also in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I just hand it over to any one of them. I'm afraid no matter which adult is too busy, it's better to let them take care of it together." , so that this matter can be cut quickly and resolved as soon as possible."

Her voice was cold and clean, like spring water that melted in the mountains in February.

Hearing this voice, Fucha Fu Heng looked at her subconsciously. When he saw her, even though he had seen her many times before, he couldn't help feeling amazed. At last, the astonishment in Fucha Fu Heng's heart was replaced by vigilance.

He suddenly and keenly realized that today's incident is very likely to be closely related to this beautiful concubine Xian who moved the capital.

Fu Cha Fu Heng withdrew his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart that it was time to find someone to investigate this matter.

"That's a good idea." Qianlong nodded. Originally, if this matter had nothing to do with the queen, Qianlong would not mind letting Fucha and Fu Heng take full responsibility, but now, An Lurong is the queen's person, and the queen may not have nothing to do with this matter. How could Qianlong feel at ease to let Fucha Fu Heng be in charge of this matter, "You two will be in charge, find out the matter as soon as possible, and I will know the ins and outs of this matter within five days!"

"Yes!" Tong Jia Wu Mu and Fu Cha Fu Heng responded in unison.

Tong Jia Wumu only felt that the sullenness in his heart these days was swept away, and he glanced at Fucha Fu Heng complacently, but Fucha Fu Heng didn't even look at him.Tong Jia's ebony face darkened.

Tong Jia Wumu's attitude only made Fucha Fu Heng more convinced that what happened today was not written by Tong Jia Wumu.

Tong Jia Wumu is not so smart.

Fucha Fu Heng had thought about what Concubine Xian was going to do after beating Tong Jia Wumu, and now he finally knew, after today, Tong Jia Wumu had to be completely loyal to Concubine Xian even if he had no choice.

After all, Concubine Xian has already shown him her methods. She can plot against the queen, so naturally she can plot against Tong Jia Wumu.

"Bring him to the Punishment Division." Fucha Fu Heng ordered the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch lifted An Lurong up and escorted him out.

When this happened, Qianlong was also very displeased, and waved his hands directly, telling everyone to leave.

Even if the queen wanted to defend herself, she knew that this was not the time, so she backed out with a pale face, and when she went out, she happened to bump into the imperial concubine.A few days ago, relying on the queen mother, the green head card of the imperial concubine finally returned to the respect room, and it was also turned over several times. Showing a bright and almost coquettish smile, "The Empress's complexion is not very good, you have to take care of your body."

The queen looked at her coldly, but Concubine Gao smiled and turned to leave.

You hour.

The Palace of Compassion and Ning, because the Lord Long Live came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning for dinner today, the dinner tonight is richer than usual. Dozens of dishes are placed on the table. Spread your index finger wide.

Concubine Gao was not sitting down, she was standing aside, holding chopsticks in her hands, and was responsible for picking up vegetables for Qianlong.

If it was Gu Qianqian, she would definitely not want to do this kind of thing, and she would not want to serve others unless she had to.Growing up in an orphanage, she is more stubborn than ordinary people in terms of self-esteem.However, in the eyes of the concubines in the palace, this kind of thing is a good job.At least Concubine Gao is in a good mood right now.

It's a pity that Qianlong's appetite is not good today. Looking at the delicious food on the table, he feels that he can't eat, and he even feels that it is not as comfortable as eating with Concubine Xian in the Palace of Concubine Xian.

Even though the dinner tonight was Qianlong's favorite dishes, Qianlong didn't feel like enjoying it because he knew well that the Empress Dowager asked him to have dinner with him for no reason.

After casually eating some food and drinking tea slowly, the Empress Dowager asked about the Empress as if casually, "Aijia heard that the eunuch who committed the crime was someone close to the Empress, does this have something to do with the Empress? "

Qianlong paused while holding the teacup, raised his head, and said, "I don't think the queen will be greedy for those yellow and white things."

Qianlong's tone showed a bit of displeasure. This displeasure was aimed at the queen mother and the queen. Qianlong believed that the queen had nothing to do with this matter, but he was angry that the queen caused trouble, which gave the queen mother a reason to reach out.

The Empress Dowager smiled at Qianlong's displeasure, and said: "The Ai family also believes this, but there are all kinds of rumors in the palace today, and Ai's family only feels that it is detrimental to the face of the Tian family. The empress has always done things properly. There are too many things, and this kind of thing happened because of negligence for a while."

Concubine Gao was sitting by the side, her beautiful eyes showing anticipation.

Qianlong's eyes were secretly a little impatient, "I think so too," he paused for a moment, looked at the empress dowager's kind face, and said, "So, I plan to ask Concubine Xian to help the empress more."

The expressions on the faces of the Queen Mother and Concubine Gao suddenly became a little unsightly.

But Qianlong's mood became joyful.

After sitting in the Compassionate Ning Palace for half an hour, he excused that the memorial was not finished and left directly.

As for what was smashed in the Compassionate Ning Palace after he left, Qianlong didn't bother to ask, and he didn't bother to bother.If the queen mother is willing to be a queen mother honestly, Qianlong is willing to be filial to her, but the queen mother's ambitions are too great. From Qianlong's ascension to the present, she has been eyeing all the time, looking for various opportunities to stretch her hand into the right to control the harem.No amount of family affection has been worn away.

Qianlong had always been ruthless, he was ruthless to himself, and even more ruthless to others.

Therefore, the next day, he asked Li Yu to send a message to the queen.

When the empress knew this, she was stunned, for a moment she forgot to send Li Yu away, she sat on the couch in a daze, with the Buddhist beads wrapped around her wrists hanging down.

Neither Li Yu nor Nanny Liu dared to speak out.

After a while, she said, "I know."

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was not afraid of anything else, but he was afraid that the empress would make a fuss if she couldn't think about it.What happened yesterday, Lord Long Live is still furious. If the empress wants to get angry about this matter, then he will probably be implicated and be blamed by Lord Long Live.

"The slave will not bother the empress." Li Yu left thoughtfully.

As soon as he left, the queen's face showed a dejected look. She originally thought that her younger brother would be able to drive Tong Jia Wumu away after entering the House of Internal Affairs and spoil the matter of Concubine Xian.

There was an eunuch stealing jewelry in her palace, Lord Long Live would definitely blame her younger brother, and it is estimated that the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which has not been in hand for a long time, will also fall aside.

A treasure chest appeared in front of Gu Qianqian. Gu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, and then she opened the treasure chest with a thought, and saw the newly acquired skill—Dream Conjuration (can only be used once).

She frowned and said to Du Juan: "The weather is fine today, let the imperial dining room cook sweet and sour fish for lunch."

"Here." Rhododendron replied.

That afternoon, the queen summoned Gu Qianqian.

She smeared powder on her face to cover up her pale complexion. When she saw Gu Qianqian's ruddy complexion, her eyes were a little complicated, "I feel a little unwell recently, and I want to ask my sister to help me. Now the draft is coming. I don't know if my sister will agree to it." Willing to help with this?"

"The empress's words are too polite. It's my honor to be able to help my empress." Gu Qianqian said with a smile, she didn't expose the lies told by the empress, and she fell into lying to save her face. Save face for the queen.

The queen took a deep look at Gu Qianqian, and pursed her lips, "I'm very happy that you can agree. If you don't understand anything, just ask Nanny Liu."

Nanny Liu hurriedly stood up and saluted Gu Qianqian.

Gu Qianqian smiled at her, her smile was bright and bright, "I'm afraid I will have to disturb Mammy in the future."

Mammy Liu smiled embarrassingly, thinking to herself that Concubine Xian was too deep in her thoughts, and she would have to be 12 energized to get along with her.

The draft is in July, and Gu Qianqian is not in a hurry.

But in the past few days, many people in the palace were anxious like ants on a hot pot. An Lurong was severely tortured on the first day he came to the Punishment Department. Can survive those severe punishments.What's more, the people from the Punishment Department got Fucha Fu Heng and Tong Jia Wumu to greet them, and they were merciless. After a tiger stool greeted, An Lurong bald everything.

There are really many people who have joined forces with him to do this.

There are at least a dozen eunuchs and maids in the palaces, and these dozen are An Lurong's accomplices, who are responsible for dropping bags or stealing jewelry, especially gold and silver jewelry, that the master doesn't use on a daily basis.There are too many things for the empresses in each palace. If you don't think about checking the booklets, you won't find that things are missing or replaced.

Therefore, relying on the fact that their masters don't ask questions and their status is convenient, these people have been doing a lot of work in the past few years, and the things they get are sent to An Lurong.An Lurong didn't dare to do anything with the Queen's things. Yikun Palace was different from other palaces. The Queen controlled everything inside and out. Even if a copper coin was gone, the Queen would notice.

But An Lurong is more convenient to enter and exit the palace than other people.The queen would let him go out of the palace to do some errands from time to time. He had a token of leaving the palace in his hand. Taking this opportunity, An Lurong sent the stolen dirt to the pawnshop outside the palace. The gold and silver jewelry Once melted, the history cannot be seen. Even if some jade articles are not easy to sell, they can be sold to other places.

After going back and forth, they have made tens of thousands of taels over the years.

Fucha Fu Heng sneered after getting An Lurong's confession, and ordered people to be arrested in various palaces. For a while, the Forbidden City was a bloodbath, and everyone was in danger.

If it was something else, the empresses of the various palaces might look at the relationship between the master and the servant and plead for mercy, but this time it was these eunuchs and maids who guarded themselves.
