Chapter 3 Death! Dai Quan is calculated
Time flies, and it's another two days.
On this day, something strange happened in Ningguo Mansion. Xichun's nanny suddenly exploded when she was having wine with several old women in the mansion.
The red and white objects splashed all the old women who were drinking at that time, which was really exciting. There were only two of the old mothers present at that time, and there were also a few middle-aged women who were cooking. All of them had their skirts wet and they collapsed on the ground, and their screams almost lifted the roof.
There is a saying that "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles."
Only one morning, Ning Mansion was a little confused. Fortunately, Jia Mu of the West Mansion was well-informed and killed two maids who were talking too much before she suppressed the matter in the mansion and did not spread it.
Dai Quan, the inner minister of the Daming Palace, received a secret report and almost choked himself with a mouthful of tea.
"You think you are a fool? You dare to send such information here. You are joking about it. You see, you have lived enough!!"
"Sir, this matter is really strange. If my subordinates were not sure about it, they would never dare to bother you with this matter!"
Dai Quan listened to the report from his subordinates, touched his hairless chin and exclaimed.
"Why, you can't even know a small matter. What is the emperor doing to raise you for? Will you still not know when a thief rebels tomorrow and come into the palace? What do you think you, the commander of the inner guard, don't want to be the leader of the inner guard anymore!!"
Listening to Dai Quan's heart-killing words, the man in black turned pale and snatched the ground with his head.
"I forgive my sins! My subordinates will definitely not dare to do this. The emperor is kind to the emperor. I will take charge of the inner guards and guard the imperial city. My subordinates dare not be careless. If there is any disturbance in the city, they will get the news as soon as possible. They will wait for the emperor to ask questions. But this time it is really different. The place where the incident happened was Ningguo Duke's Mansion, and there are secret guards present..."

Hearing this person's answer, Dai Quan raised his eyebrows, reached out and picked up the tea cup, fiddled with the tea leaves in the tea water with the tea lid, took a sip, and then asked again.
"Ningguo Duke's Mansion? Is that family in Ningrong Street?"
On weekdays, Jia Zhen and Jia Zheng gave him many benefits. Now that he encounters this, he is willing to respect Jia Zhen again, so he no longer cares about it.
“That’s it!!”
When the visitor heard Dai Quan intending to take over, he replied in a hurry.
"Where is that secret guard? Bring the man over here, why should you ask me personally!!"
Dai Quan smiled, his eyes distracted, but he had never noticed the strange color on the face of the inner guard in front of him. Otherwise, with his shrewdness, how could he be willing to care about this matter again!
The inner guard commander waved his hand and shouted outside the door: "Come, bring the nightingale up!!"
After a while, a woman was brought in, with her hair disheveled, her eyes were dull, her mouth was dripping with saliva, and her chest was wet.
If there is a wife from the Ningguo Duke's Mansion here, she will definitely recognize that this person is no one else. It is from Fang Er's family, who specializes in cold dishes in the kitchen in the Ningfu.
As soon as he saw this person, Dai Quan's face darkened and he felt something was wrong. Judging from the situation of this person, there was obviously something wrong, either he was crazy or stupid.
The duck-like throat was filled with a hint of coldness, "What's going on with her?"
The commander of the inner guard stepped forward and replied: "Sir, Nightingale is crazy!!"
Dai Quan's face rose and he slapped the table, "Xu Yuantu, you little bastard, you are so brave. How dare you plan to plan for your family!!"
Hearing Xu Yuantu’s answer, Dai Quan’s face turned extremely gloomy. He now understood what was going on. As an inner guard, Nightingale generally has very good mental quality, but the previous incident made people crazy. It is absolutely impossible to say that the incident that happened that day is fine, and it is absolutely impossible.
The incident happened was Ningguo Duke's Mansion. He was a small leader of the fourth-rank inner guard. He had no courage to provoke the Jia Mansion, which was a two-country duke. The affairs of the inner guard were not bright at all. Once it was exposed, the nobles of the dynasty would not spare him, let alone to solve the problem and search for clues in the Jia Mansion.
As the internal supervisor of the Daming Palace, Dai Quan has great power, but he is also responsible. It would be fine if he didn't know about this, but he could have a way to rest assured, but he knew it again. If he didn't care about it, he would be doomed when the emperor asked about it in the future.
He could even imagine what Emperor Mingkang said when he held accountable, "Okay! That's great! As the internal supervisor of the palace, he even turned a deaf ear to him and covered him everywhere, not thinking of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country, sharing my worries, only knowing to fill my personal pockets and receive filial piety! Tomorrow, do you want to give my head to others? What's the use of me? Come on, come out and execute him in lingchi!!"
Of course, this is just Dai Quan's own hypothesis, but after spending a long time with the emperor, my experience of the words "Parenting the King is like a tiger" is deeply rooted in my bones, so I have some persecution paranoia.
Xu Yuantu smiled and said, "Why did the inner minister say this? We are all doing things for the emperor. Didn't this person also let me bring it in?"
Dai Quan was so angry when he heard Xu Yuantu's words! No wonder this old guy was so naughty before, and he scolded him like that, and he didn't say anything. He was waiting for him here!
Although he could go to Ning Mansion to search for clues, the relationship he had finally established was gone. You must know that every year he can receive a lot of filial piety from his noble family!
Next is the matter of the inner guard. If this matter is investigated, it will be a foregone conclusion. Facing the four monarchs and eighth princes and a group of nobles, which arouses public anger, Emperor Mingkang will definitely send him out to fight the gun.
So even if he could investigate this matter, he didn't want to, nor did he dare to investigate it. Looking at Xu Yuantu, who looked innocent, Dai Quan slapped the teacup on the table, fell to the ground, and fell eight petals.
"General Xu! How can I remember this? Let's ride a donkey and read the songbook in the future, and let's take a look!!"
"And! I have taken this inner guard away, and there are still a few good men in the Imperial Hospital. I will see if I can save the person. When the saint asks, I just don't know who will let him go when the saint sends people to investigate!"
Hearing Dai Quan's words, Xu Yuantu narrowed his eyes and was about to come out. Even if the saint had the order, it would be a job of offending people. Once this matter was searched by the explicit order, it would be a matter of exposure to the inner guard. If the matter was targeted by those nobles, he would not have good results.
Looking at Dai Quan who was leaving while pinching the orchid finger, Xu Yuantu sighed helplessly, with a little relaxed face, as if he had finally taken off a thousand pounds of burden. This matter is much better now than before. If he hadn't had some scheming, he would have tied his head to his belt now.
In fact, he knew in his heart that this matter might end up in the end. It was not as Dai Quan said, involving the four kings, eight kings and other nobles, as well as the inner guards who were placed in it. Even if Emperor Mingkang had a bad mind, he would not investigate it with great fanfare.
Even if you really want to investigate, you can take the opportunity to ask for an imperial edict, and you will no longer be as passive as before.
Another day, sunrises eastward, and a ship from Suzhou parked on the dock of the capital.
This dreamlike story has been renovated.
