    The Forbidden City is the residence of the emperor. Many people dare not even think about it, many people envy it, many people long for it, and so on.  However, among those who have access to the Forbidden City, many want to leave but cannot.  For many palace maids and eunuchs, death has never been far away from them, but the eunuchs who are now staying in the side hall feel it more deeply.  No one in the hall dared to speak. The only sound was the footsteps, walking slowly and unhurriedly.  The footsteps were not loud or noisy, because one person was walking around, and the others did not dare to breathe.  His body was shaking uncontrollably, sweat dripped down to the ground, and he knelt on the ground gasping for air.  On both sides of the hall, stood a pair of young eunuchs. Unlike the usually groveling eunuchs, each of these eunuchs was strong and strong.  The expression on his face was very solemn, and he stood there motionless.  In front of the group of kneeling eunuchs and maids, a young eunuch was constantly walking back and forth. The sound of his footsteps was always so loud, tapping everyone's heart steadily.  After taking a look at the burning incense on one side, Chen Lin slowly stood up, and a young eunuch on the other side quickly brought a chair to Chen Lin.  Sitting on the chair as a matter of course, Chen Lin glanced at the kneeling person in front of him and said with a smile: "The time for the stick of incense has come. We must keep our word. Whoever can reveal the poisoner, we will  I won¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± After waiting for a moment, Chen Lin¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on his face became deeper. He nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s great, but let¡¯s put it first.¡±  The poisonous person must be among you, because you are the only one who has the opportunity to come into contact with Yushan. Our lives are not valuable in this palace. If you can find someone in our family, others will not be affected.  Implicated, if no one can be found, then none of you will survive." Chen Lin's tone was very light, without any threat, but the faces of the people below suddenly turned white, and they knew what Chen Lin was talking about.  truth.  These people are all palace maids and eunuchs.  I have seen so many inexplicable deaths caused by him, just a dozen or so people, but no one in this palace cared.  If the emperor is implicated in being poisoned, no matter whether they have done it or not, these people will not survive. After all, it is the emperor.  In this Forbidden City, there is no need for a reason to kill someone.  Nothing is necessary here, it is necessary.  Looking at the fearful eyes of the people below, Chen Lin's heart suddenly felt a little wandering, and he gently held his hand. This is the feeling of power.  There was a fierce look in his eyes. No matter what method he used, he must get things done this time.  I can't let go of this feeling of power. This is the turning point of my life.  However, the people below remained silent, but they began to look at each other, as if they were all trying to find it.  The atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing, and everyone's expressions became strange.     after a long time.  I heard footsteps outside the hall, and a young eunuch walked in quickly.  Go straight to Chen Lin.  As for the people kneeling on the ground, the little eunuch didn't even look at them, as if these people didn't exist.  The little eunuch came to Chen Lin's side, with a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Eunuch Chen, we searched all their rooms, and Nubei found some interesting things." At the same time, the little eunuch put a stack of paper in his hand  He handed it to Chen Lin and said: "These are the information about their identities." Reaching out to take the pile of paper, Chen Lin nodded slowly and said lightly: "Tell me about it! What did you find?"  "For Eunuch Chen, most of these people are fine, but I found this in Zhang Li's house!" As he said this, he handed a small paper bag in his hand to Chen Lin, with a strange look on his face.  look.  Chen Lin took the paper bag and slowly opened it. There were some white particles, ground very finely.  Chen Lin's brows suddenly wrinkled, and he looked at the little eunuch beside him with doubt, and said, "Is this salt?" "Eunuch Chen is indeed very discerning, but this is not ordinary salt. What we eat is just ordinary green salt."  Salt, but this is poisonous salt." The little eunuch looked at Chen Lin with a bright look on his face.  "Poison salt?" Although he didn't know what poison salt was, after hearing the word "poison", Chen Lin's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce look.  The little eunuch nodded in agreement and said with some excitement: "Before I entered the palace, my family was a coolie in the salt mine. Poison salt is the salt that has not been cooked and is dug directly from the salt mine.  . Although this kind of salt looks no different, neither humans nor animals can eat it. If you eat less, it will not have any effect. If you eat a little more, you will be poisoned. " Chen Lin was immediately shocked.  He has been able to determine that the poison in Emperor Tianqi must be this poisonous salt.  Tasting food is too fake. After all, people are tasting food. It is impossible to letThey eat too much, just eat a little bit. It seems that eating too little does not cause poisoning.  Those who eat secretly are different. Emperor Tianqi's royal meal cannot be eaten at any time, so naturally you have to eat it freely.  If you eat too much, you will naturally die of poisoning.  Thinking of this, Chen Lin suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Perhaps Emperor Tianqi had a good appetite that day and didn't eat too much.  Chen Lin no longer dared to think about it anymore, and said with a trembling voice: "Can't you detect this poisonous salt?" "Back to father-in-law, unless someone eats these poisonous salts, you can't detect them. Insert a silver needle into it  After that, there was no reaction." The little eunuch said with a hint of fear on his face, and his voice trembled: "When Nubei was a child, I saw a foreigner who accidentally ate poisonous salt, and his face turned black, and those who died after eating it secretly.  Just like a eunuch and a palace maid." Staring at the little eunuch, Chen Lin's eyes flashed with a clear understanding that the little eunuch was trying to sell him again.  I think no matter who is responsible for this case, he will talk about it!  After thinking for a while with his eyes closed, Chen Lin showed a sincere smile and said, "What is your name? Which father-in-law are you with now?" The little eunuch's face suddenly showed an ecstatic look, and his body was trembling.  With.  In the Forbidden City, it is unusual for eunuchs to have no backers.  Since he has no foundation, Chen Lin is obviously a good choice.  After all, Chen Lin is Chen Hong's godson.  Everyone knows how favored Chen Hong is, even though he was sent to Liaodong.  But everyone in the palace knew that that was the reason why Emperor Tianqi valued it.  Not to mention Chen Hong, Chen Lin himself was also very favored. Naturally, the little eunuch would not let him go. He quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I have met Eunuch Chen!"  It will definitely be useful. He stretched out his hand to help Xiao Shunzi up.  He patted his shoulder and said, "Do a good job and we won't treat you badly!" Neither of them explained, but one of them had hired a subordinate, and the other had found a supporter.  Although this relationship has just been established and cannot be said to be strong at all, as time goes by.  It's definitely getting stronger.  After taking care of Xiao Shunzi's affairs, Chen Lin turned his attention to a person in the crowd, it was Zhang Li who was found to have poisonous salt.  As soon as Chen Lin looked away, the two eunuchs walked over, pulled Zhang Li over who was already paralyzed on the ground, and threw him to the ground.  He glanced at Zhang Li.  Chen Lin didn't speak, but gently turned the pile of paper in his hand, and finally picked up the pile of paper.  Without looking at Zhang Li who was kneeling on the ground, Chen Lin ordered the little eunuch on the side: "Go out of the palace and tell the Jin Yiwei to arrest Zhang Li's parents, brothers and sisters!" The little eunuch respectfully took the piece of paper.  With a somewhat excited look on his face, he turned around and walked outside.  Zhang Li, who was kneeling on the ground, hugged the little eunuch's legs.  The eyes that had just been distracted instantly regained their energy. While kowtowing to Chen Lin, he said loudly: "Eunuch Chen, you understand! I am unjust. Eunuch Shun is aware of it!" He looked at Zhang Li who was kowtowing coldly.  , although a trace of unbearability flashed in Chen Lin's eyes, it was quickly replaced by lust and ruthlessness.  He waved his hand to Taiji, who was holding a stick on one side, and said: "Pull him out and fight!" In the midst of Zhang Li's heartbreaking cry, the sound of frying meat with a stick suddenly came to mind outside, and the muffled sound accompanied Zhang Li's screams.  , everyone in the hall looked frightened.  The eunuchs standing aside did not dare to look at Chen Lin at this time, and they all stood aside respectfully.  Looking over all the eunuchs, Chen Lin knew that from today on, Chen Lin was no longer the same Chen Lin.  The outside world did not know what was going on in the palace. Neither Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, nor Wei Chao, the governor of the East Factory, had anything to do with the affairs in the palace.  Without Emperor Apocalypse's permission, they did not dare to behave in the slightest. After all, Emperor Apocalypse was not joking about killing people.  Although this young emperor gave people the impression of being wise and wise, he was not merciless at all when he actually started killing people.  At this time, Wei Chao and Luo Sigong were standing in a restaurant, looking at the courtyard opposite in the elegant room of the restaurant.  Both of them looked very serious, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.  "Eunuch Wei, you said the news was accurate last time, but in the end it did nothing but alert the snake. If something goes wrong this time, we will have to live with it!" Luo Sigong looked at Wei who was aside.  When I saw him looking like an old god, he said angrily.  Wei Chao smiled confidently and said calmly: "Master Luo, there is no need to be impetuous. This time we have requested an imperial edict. How important it is. Our family naturally knows how important it is." This matter requires mobilizing manpower, and it is likely that in  There was a lot of commotion in the capital, and the two of them didn't dare to hide anything.  Emperor Tianqi¡¯s reply was also very simple, with only four words:?£ºLet go and do something!  The sky is slowly getting dark, the sun is slowly setting, and there are fewer and fewer people on the street.  Luo Sigong and Wei Chao had dinner in the elegant room and kept paying attention to the courtyard opposite. No one dared to slack off in the slightest.  A guard in casual clothes walked in with respect on his face and said to Luo Sigong: "Sir, Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Baihu are here!" Wei Chao on the side suddenly frowned and said with some hesitation: "Zhang Tianyu? This name?  It's very familiar, but I seem to have heard it somewhere. I wonder if Mr. Luo can tell us something?" Luo Sigong had no intention of hiding Zhang Tianyu's identity from the Wei Dynasty, and there was no need to hide it from the Wei Dynasty.  After thinking for a while, he said: "This person is the leader of the White Lotus Sect that I captured, but he is already mine!" Looking at Luo Sigong with admiration, Wei Chao said with a smile: "Master Luo is worthy of being Master Luo.  , to be able to subdue these people is really beyond the capabilities of others." Ignoring Wei Chao's compliment, Luo Sigong looked at Zhang Tianyu who walked in.  After several days of training, Zhang Tianyu's face was still very pale.  Even when walking, the steps are sloppy.  It looks like it's been severely damaged.  "Zhang Tianyu has met your lord and Eunuch Wei!" Zhang Tianyu has long lost his previous ferocity. Once he makes a move like surrender, his person will fundamentally change.  Nodding slowly, Luo Sigong smiled and said to Zhang Tianyu: "Zhang Baihu, your body is still very weak. I shouldn't bother you originally, but there is something going on here today. Without Zhang Baihu, I would not be safe in my heart."  "Ah!" "You are joking, since you are working under the adults, you must do your best!" Zhang Tianyu's tone became more humble, with a sincere smile on his face.  Smiling with satisfaction, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Just stay with me! Good news has come back from many places these days. The governor will report Zhang Baihu's contribution to the emperor!" "Thank you for your cultivation, sir.  Zhang Tianyu has nothing to repay!" Zhang Tianyu's face was slightly stunned.  A flash of despair flashed in his eyes.  He naturally knew the good news Luo Sigong said. He had confessed it himself. The White Lotus Sect must have suffered heavy losses now!  "I'm still watching here today. If you know anyone, remember to tell me!" Luo Sigong seemed to have not seen Zhang Tianyu's expression, and said with a sincere smile on his face.  Night is gradually falling.  The moon in the sky appears and disappears, and the whole moon is not bright.  The world fell into darkness. Except for the familiar shout of the watchman, the huge city of Beijing had fallen silent.  It wasn¡¯t until late at night that the tranquility was broken.  Two teams of people appeared not far away.  There were just a few people at first, but they all headed here.  Slowly more and more people gathered.  Because of the curfew, the street was unexpectedly quiet at this time, and no one noticed these people. At this time, in the private room of the restaurant, Luo Sigong looked at the people outside with bright eyes. Beside him were Wei Chao and Zhang Tianyu.  In addition to these three people, there is also a team of royal guards waiting outside.  There is no lamp in the private room, so it can be said to be pitch black, so the three of them can better see what's going on outside.  ¡°These two people are all wearing black night clothes. Although they carry different weapons, it can be seen that these people have extraordinary fighting power.  Because of the mask and the distance, Luo Sigong and the others could not see the faces of these people.  These people moved very quickly, without any unnecessary movements. Except for a few people on guard, they all turned over and entered the yard.  Glancing at Wei Chao next to him, Luo Sigong said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Wei, I wonder if your spies are sending news? Is their leader here?" "Master Luo, I don't know this either! But  We think it's time to take action now, we can't delay any longer. Their leader is not here, and our spies won't be here, so there's nothing wrong with killing these people and arresting them!" A trace of regret flashed across Wei Chao's face, but it was very sad.  Quickly become perseverance.  Luo Sigong also nodded in agreement, took out a signal cannon from his arms, lit it with the fire stick handed over by Zhang Tianyu, and then pointed it outside the window.  A bright light pierced the sky, and countless Ming troops rushed out of the streets. They were all wearing mandarin duck armor and holding various weapons in their hands, and they quickly surrounded the yard.  Fires also lit up in the yard, and shouts of death rang out instantly, and countless people rushed out of the rooms in the yard.  This courtyard was specially selected by Luo Sigong, and it was just the right size.  Soon, the internal and external battle began, and the men in black who rushed in were also very fierce. However, facing the Ming army that was several times larger, the men in black soon became powerless.  The retreat began quickly, and it was not said that the retreat was because of these people.There was some order, and they were not as directionless as a rabble. However, they obviously underestimated the Ming army outside. As soon as they climbed over the wall of the courtyard, gunshots like exploding beans rang out outside.  The screams suddenly started, but were soon suppressed by the gunshots.  Luo Sigong and Wei Chao, who were standing at the window of the elegant room, both had happy faces. After looking at each other, Luo Sigong said: "Eunuch Wei, let's go down and take a look!" "Yes! These soldiers from the Beijing camp are fighting.  It's true that Zhan Lai has extraordinary fighting power, but we don't know how to survive. If we don't go down, I'm afraid all these people will be killed!" Looking at the Ming army below with admiration, Wei Chao felt happy.  .  "Sir, look over there!" Zhang Tianyu stared at one place, because a lantern suddenly lit up there. It was a small courtyard only one mile away from here.  In such a night, the red lantern looked very strange, and Luo Sigong suddenly frowned.  Before Luo Sigong could figure it out, Wei Chao on the side said loudly: "Quick, Mr. Luo, take the people there! Their leader is there, let's go quickly!" Upon hearing Wei Chao's words, Luo Sigong was shocked.  With a look of ecstasy on his face, he led Jin Yiwei and walked quickly outside.  In that place where the light was on, a girl looked around anxiously, hearing the shouts of killing around her, with excitement and excitement in her eyes.  She leaned against the door and kept looking around. After hearing someone running from a distance, she suddenly cried with joy and covered her face with her hands.  Reaching out and taking off the hanging lantern, the girl ran quickly towards the group of people holding the lantern. When she saw a person, the girl's body trembled suddenly and she stood motionless.  (To be continued.
