The Regent's Tender Darling

Upon hearing the sound, the prisoner who was still sleeping quickly got up and came over with the bowl next to him. This bowl had not been washed for several months, but it was cleaner than a washed one.

The food in the Internal Guard Department was still good. In the morning, it was rice porridge. The smell of rice made my mouth water.

The little errand boy poured a spoonful of porridge for each person, but did not give more. Then he ran to the back to continue pouring porridge.

When he arrived at the last cell, the two people in it were still asleep. The little errand boy was so angry that his eyebrows jumped. Usually, he only needed to knock on the door and everyone would get up. Who was this uncle who wanted him to yell again?

"Damn it! Are you going to eat or not?" The little errand boy cursed, and then began to knock hard on the cell door with a big iron spoon.

The clanging sound lasted for a long time, not only making other prisoners impatient, but even the little errand boy himself couldn't stand it.

"Hey!" The little errand boy had never seen someone sleeping so soundly in his life.

The noise that lasted for so long was naturally heard by the shadow guard outside the dungeon, and one of them came down to check.

When the little errand boy saw the shadow guard coming down, he hurriedly said, "The two sitting inside can't be awakened no matter how hard we knock! Are they still going to eat?"

He didn't have time to waste here, he had to go back to work, otherwise he would be beaten and scolded. He was scolded by his master early this morning, and he was still angry.

The two people in the cell had their backs to the door of the cell, and they seemed to be sleeping soundly, but there was no movement.

The shadow guard also felt something was wrong, so he opened the cell door, walked in, and poked the man with a sword. The prisoner turned around immediately, his eyes wide open, and there was a deep cut on his neck, and blood soaked into the straw mat, which could not be seen from the outside.

He quickly turned over another one, and it was the same.

The little errand boy also came in, intending to pour the porridge into the empty bowls placed by the two people, so that he could go back to work.

It was not visible from the outside, but when he got closer, he saw such a scene, and the little errand boy was so scared that he threw away his rice bucket! The porridge was spilled all over the floor.

The shadow guard glanced at the little errand boy and said coldly: "Get out!"

The little errand boy had already sat on the ground, and now he crawled back, moved to the door, got up and ran away!

Such a thing must be reported quickly. The two dead people were not criminals, but the foremen of Jia Granary. Judging from the wounds, they should have died around midnight last night.

When the court was dismissed, civil and military officials filed out. At the palace gate, the regent just came out, and Ye Ming hurried over to convey the news from the Internal Guard.

"Your Majesty, the two foremen are already in the Internal Guard..." Ye Ming paused, lowered his head and said: "Killed."

Yesterday, I just received the bill for the wrong goods from the Ministry of Works, and I am still verifying it. Today, I received the news that the two foremen of the Internal Guard were killed. How can Yan Sihan not be angry!

With a cold expression, he walked and asked, "Can you find out who did it?"

"I don't know for the time being." Ye Ming replied cautiously. Someone was assassinated in the prison of the Internal Guard Division. This is really not right.

"I don't know?" Yan Sihan stopped and said angrily, "Pass on my order. From now on, the Internal Guard Division will be closed. Everyone should stop what they are doing and check themselves. When they have found out, report to me again."

Now is a time of trouble. There are wars at the border, but these things in the capital are so busy that people are exhausted!

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something. Now that the Dali Temple is conducting a self-examination, it may not be a good idea for the Internal Guard Division to be closed for self-examination.

Then, the Regent continued, "The matter of Jia Granary is handed over to the Thirteenth Steward of the Internal Guard Division Cabinet to handle it. Anyone who obstructs the Internal Guard Division will be immediately imprisoned."
