Chapter 258 Start to fight back
In the Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager, Liu Jin, Fang Huitian, Hai Dayou, and Qin Si and the other five sat together.
The Empress Dowager naturally sat upright on the main seat, while the other four sat on a small round stool, with half of her butts falling on the stool.
The Empress Dowager's eyes gently slid across everyone, and suddenly saw that the Empress Dowager's eyes became a little unnatural in the future, but in just a moment, the Empress Dowager soon recovered.
The Empress Dowager said, "Now that Zhu Houzhao has detoxified the poison, our previous plan has failed. In two days, the team of the Southern Tour should come back. After Zhu Houzhao re-takes the government, we will have no chance to deal with him."
"All this is a bad thing for Jiang Xia. My subordinates think that as long as they kill Jiang Xia, it is not difficult to deal with the emperor." Liu Jin said.
"It is not difficult to deal with a Jiang Xia, and it is not difficult to deal with an emperor. The difficulty lies in the fact that they are both determined to stay away from Meng Meng and join forces to deal with it.
Jiang Xia is a man who is smart, alert and intelligent, and with the emperor trusting him, it is not so easy for us to get rid of Jiang Xia. The Za Family and Eunuch Liu both fought with Jiang Xia respectively, but in the end they returned in a mess, the two of us were the ones who returned in a mess." Hai Dayou said.
To be honest, it was easy to kill Jiang Xia with his martial arts, but his last fate and Liu Jin's fate later made Hai Dayou deeply fear Jiang Xia.
Liu Jin glanced at Hai Dayou, so he said the truth, so although he was unhappy, he had no way to refute it.
Qin Si, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and she said, "Actually, as long as you separate Jiang Xia and the emperor, they can defeat them one by one."
"They are inseparable, how can they separate?" Liu Jin couldn't help asking.
"Why are they inseparable? Didn't Jiang Xia be sent alone to investigate the Yunnan salt tax corruption case? He also asked him to go to Annan Country alone." Qin Si refuted.
After Qin Si said this, the Empress Dowager and everyone immediately understood. Even Hai Dayou, who had been not very good at dealing with Qin Si, couldn't help but say: "Miss Qin means to find an excuse to ask the emperor to send Jiang Xia out of the capital alone, and then get rid of Jiang Xia outside the capital?"
"Eunuch Hai is very wise." Qin Sidao.
The Empress Dowager nodded slightly and said, "Qin Si's method is good, so let's think about it and see how Zhu Houzhao can send Jiangxia out of the capital."
In the meeting hall of the Royal Dragon Investigator, the two guardians Geng Zhongqiu and Leng Yu, the four Vajra Feng Xiao, Ling Yuxuan and others, and Bu Jinyun, Su Meiniang and other five people gathered together.
Some time ago, Jiang Xia escorted Zhu Houzhao back to the capital and was repeatedly assassinated. He never fought back, which was because of Zhu Houzhao's safety. Now Zhu Houzhao has returned to the capital. Jiang Xia, who has always regarded ten years as his motto, is also about to fight back.
Jiang Xia has already locked in four specific targets. One is Liu Jin, the second is Qin Si, the third is Hai Dayou, and the fourth is Fang Huitian.
These four people were exposed to Jiang Xia one by one, and naturally became the first target of revenge.
In fact, Jiang Xia really wanted to tell Empress Dowager Zhu Houzhao that there was something wrong, but this matter was indeed too important and incredible. Even if Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao were brothers who could talk about everything, he would not dare to tell Zhu Houzhao about this casually.
First, the involvement was too great and the influence was too wide, and second, he was also afraid that the Queen Mother would take a gamble after knowing Zhu Houzhao's secrets. Now the power that only she had surfaced made Jiang Xia feel extremely powerful. If she showed all the power.
Whether Zhu Houzhao, who had just ascended the throne for a few years, can withstand it is still an unknown question.
Before this, Jiang Xia could only do his best to attract firepower for Zhu Houzhao. In this way, he also preserved Zhu Houzhao and gave him time to slowly develop his power.
But in this way, Jiang Xia put himself in danger.
Jiang Xia submitted the list of Liu Jin and the other four at the meeting, and the royal dragon detective began to fully investigate the four of them.
Of course, there is no need to say much about Liu Jin. His power is only greater than that of Jiang Xia, and he can only use political means to slowly play with him.
But it is much easier for Fang Huitian, Qin Si, and Hai Dayou. These three people are all from the world. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the rich, and the rich have not fought with the officials.
No matter how huge the power of the rivers and lakes is, it is impossible to compete with the official forces.
Jiang Xia first pointed his finger at Fang Huitian.
That night, Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao played chess in the imperial study room of the palace. Suddenly, a flying knife shot in from outside the palace gate. Jiang Xia took the dart very casually, and saw it read: "The beauties in the harem are unparalleled, and the emperor does not need to let me enjoy it."
The meaning of this sentence is really straightforward. Isn’t it just blatantly telling Zhu Houzhao that he is going to break into the harem to get his wife?
Zhu Houzhao was furious immediately, and Jiang Xia immediately asked for an order to lead the royal family dragon into the palace to investigate the harem.
Zhu Houzhao immediately reported accurately and asked Zhong Bin to lead the Jinyiwei to assist Jiang Xia.
After receiving the imperial edict, Jiang Xia immediately left the palace and went into the palace with the royal dragon who had already prepared his troops. He first blocked several exits of the harem. Then he divided the harem into several areas and began to investigate one by one.
In the harem, Fang Huitian, who was originally resting in Qinghan Palace, suddenly heard the palace gate being pushed open. Fang Huitian immediately turned over and got up to light the candle on the table.
The visitor called out: "Doctor Fang."
Fang Huitian was slightly stunned, "Eunuch Li? What's the matter when I visited the site late at night?"
Eunuch Li said anxiously: "It's amazing that Doctor Fang has a flower-picking thief in the harem. The emperor ordered the royal family dragon Investigation to search the harem. The empress dowager asked you to change your clothes and hide in Shoukang Palace."
After saying that, Eunuch Li handed Fang Huitian a set of eunuch clothes in his hand.
Fang Huitian took it and said, "Thank you, father-in-law." Then he quickly changed his clothes.
The harem of the palace is so wide, and it will definitely take a long time to search one by one. Jiang Xia specially performed such a play to find out Fang Huitian.
Since Fang Huitian is the Empress Dowager's man, the place where he lives must be within the control of Shoukang Palace.
Jiang Xia directly brought a large number of people to the palace area where Shoukang Palace is located. He blocked all entrances and exits, and then searched the idle cold palace one by one.
Jiang Xia estimated that the Empress Dowager would definitely not place Fang Huitian in the palace of the concubines in the harem, so the most likely possibility is that Fang Huitian hides in those cold palaces.
Of course, Jiang Xia was just trying his luck. If he couldn't find Fang Huitian in this palace, he would issue a "decisive killing order" to the royal dragon detective. Anyway, once he met Fang Huitian, he would kill him, and he would swear to eliminate him and never give him a chance to poison Zhu Houzhao.
There are five cold palaces in the palace area where Shoukang Palace is located, one of which is Qinghan Palace.
Jiang Xia brought people to find him one by one and finally arrived at Qinghan Palace.
After pushing open the palace gate, he led people into the hall and walked around the inner room without finding anything.
Fang Huitian was also a very careful person. Although he changed into the eunuch's clothes, he did not forget to pack up his clothes and all his belongings before leaving.
When Jiang Xia was about to leave Qinghan Palace, she suddenly stood next to the round table in the house and paused for a moment. He reached out and touched the tabletop of the round table.
The so-called cold palace is an empty palace. Generally speaking, if there are no people in such a palace, there are few people who clean it, and it will only clean it in one month after dust removal.
It is still early to get rid of dust in the harem, and there is no dust on the round table.
Not only that, there was oil inside the oil lamp, but Jiang Xia reached out and touched the lamp wall, which was warm.
Jiang Xia showed a sneer on his lips, and he immediately ordered: "Go! Go to Shoukang Palace!"
Jiang Xia and his group came outside the Shoukang Palace. As the palace where the Empress Dowager lived, there were naturally many palace maids and eunuchs serving him.
At this moment, four palace maids and four eunuchs guarding outside the palace gate.
Jiang Xia approached, and one of the four eunuchs, a little older father-in-law wearing the eunuch's clothes, walked over and said, "Oh, isn't this our Lord Li? Why did you bring people to our Shoukang Palace?"
Jiang Xia looked at the father-in-law in front of him and asked tentatively: "Is this the father-in-law Li?"
"It's the miscellaneous family. I didn't expect that Lord Li can know the miscellaneous family even if he is busy with his work. It's such an honor and honor." Eunuch Li said with a slight smile.
Jiang Xia clasped his fists at Eunuch Li and said, "Eunuch Li, I am ordered by the emperor to investigate the assassin in the harem. Please report to the Empress Dowager, and I am the general to go to Shoukang Palace to search."
"Entering Shoukang Palace to search?" Eunuch Li was shocked. He didn't expect that Jiang Xia would really dare to say this.
Eunuch Li said, "There are no assassins in our Shoukang Palace, and the family has been guarding the door. The Queen Mother has already rested and is not disturbed. Please come back."
Why was Jiang Xia willing to give up? He insisted: "Eunuch Li, it's better to search it?"
"The miscellaneous family said that there is no in Shoukang Palace"
Before Eunuch Li finished speaking the word "assassin" when suddenly a sound of tiles being trampled on the roof came from the roof. Then, with a "clang" sound, a big hole was broken on the roof of Shoukang Palace.
Jiang Xia immediately shouted: "Protect the Queen Mother! There is an assassin!"
After saying that, Jiang Xia pushed Eunuch Li away and rushed into Shoukang Palace with his men.
The royal family dragon stalkers were like bandits entering the village. They pushed open the gate of Shoukang Palace and rushed inside.
After entering the Shoukang Palace, Jiang Xia shouted loudly: "Come here, gather all the palace maids and eunuchs, and beware of the assassins mingling with the palace maids and eunuchs."
"yes!"
The royal family dragon sergeant responded, and then each took all the palace maids and eunuchs into the hall.
Jiang Xia's sharp eyes swept over the group of palace maids and eunuchs one by one, and then shouted: "Come on, check all the eunuchs one by one to see if everyone is a real eunuch!"
