Wei Zhongxian sat in a sedan chair, surrounded by everyone, swaggering in the Forbidden City, heading north. At this time, the snow was much tighter than before, and the entourage was covered with snowflakes, but none of them dared to reach out and dust it.

In fact, in the Forbidden City, only the emperor can make a sedan chair carried by eight people. Even if you are the queen mother and queen, you can only sit in a sedan chair carried by four people. The rest, such as the noble concubine and the ministers with special merits, can only sit in a small sedan chair carried by two people. Even this kind of small sedan chair is already a great grace. The rest of the people can only take the No. 11 bus. Wei Zhongxian is so arrogant, from the cabinet assistants to the palace maids and miscellaneous servants, everyone sees it. The courtiers led by the Donglin Party impeached Wei Zhongxian no less than a hundred times because of this article. But the emperor didn't care about anything, the right to approve the red was in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, and those impeachment notes had to be approved by Wei Zhongxian, and finally became waste paper. Later, when the emperor found out, he didn't care, and then simply issued an order to allow Wei Zhongxian to sit in a sedan chair.

However, at this time, Wei Zhongxian did not go back to the Qianqing Palace to pay the decree as he said to Zhu Youzhen. As soon as he walked out of Zhu Youzhen's sight, he immediately grimaced and said expressionlessly: "Go back to the East Factory and call Xianchun and Xianzhen to come over." By the way, there is also that imperial doctor, what is it called Jia? ”

On the left and right sides of the palanquin, they are guarded by a guard armed with a sword. One of them immediately nodded to the ground on one knee and said solemnly: "Back to the Governor, that imperial doctor is called Jia Yong, and he is a fellow of the Sipintai Hospital. ”

Wei Zhongxian seemed a little tired, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Go ahead." ”

The guard lowered his head, and did not answer "yes" or "respectful order" in a loud voice as often played in TV dramas, but did not say a word until Wei Zhongxian's sedan chair walked away, and then hurriedly got up and hurried in another direction.

Located in the northeast corner of the Forbidden City, the East Factory is a three-entry courtyard. There are more than 9,000 houses in the Forbidden City, and at first glance, it looks like it's no different from most other palaces. However, there is not a single tree here from the inside out, and it is tightly guarded by a large number of guards, three inside and three outside. There is a plaque five steps outside the main gate, on which is the four big characters of "East Investigation Factory" written by Zhu Di of Ming Chengzu, which invisibly carries a cold and murderous atmosphere, which is really incompatible with the magnificent and vast momentum of the Forbidden City.

In fact, the East Factory was originally outside the Forbidden City. Wei Zhongxian monopolized the power, and actually made his own decision to move the East Factory into the interior, and by the way, he brought in a lot of high-level martial arts stalls and fans. These people are self-contained, completely uncontrolled by the guards of the Forbidden City, even if the palace is forbidden at night, there are still special doors to enter and exit at will, and they simply regard the emperor's house as their own home.

The eight-lift sedan chair passed directly through the main entrance, bypassed the main hall, and passed through the atrium, and only got off the sedan chair in front of the apse door. Wei Zhongxian was helped out of the sedan chair, went straight into the apse, and sat on his Taishi chair, whose head was comparable to a dragon chair.

A few people who had been waiting for Wei Zhongxian in the atrium for a long time only entered the apse at this time. The two leaders knelt down and bowed and said, "Xu Xianchun and Xu Xianzhen have seen their father!" ”

Wei Zhongxian's face showed an imperceptible smile, but soon, he regained his expression like a wood carving clay sculpture. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I don't have to be polite, sit down on the side." Have you checked it out? ”

The two people who paid homage to Wei Zhongxian, one was Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Zhengsanpin Jinyi Guard, and the other was his younger brother, Xu Xianzhen, the head of the Dongchang stall.

Xu Xianchun is more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, but he has eaten a lot of poop and his brain is full of fat, and it is quite difficult to even kneel down for Wei Zhongxian, and he needs the support of the guards next to him. Originally, his eyes were small, so that the horizontal flesh on his face was squeezed, and he could hardly be found on his face. Xu Xianzhen, on the other hand, is the opposite, although he is only in his twenties, he reveals a capable and murderous aura all over his body, and his eyes flash, like a lion lurking in the trees in the dark night, which makes people shudder. Although they are brothers, it is not surprising that the appearance of the two is so different.

At that time, Wei Zhongxian and the Dongchang controlled by him were powerful, and those who tended to be inflammatory, worshiped him one after another. This Xu Xianchun was originally born as a martial artist and entered Jinyiwei as a petty official. Later, he attached Wei Zhongxian, and shamelessly worshipped this eunuch as his godfather, and since then, he has risen to the top of the ranks within a few years, and is in charge of the Jinyi Guard's prison, and has won Wei Zhongxian's respect, known as one of the "Five Biao" under Wei Zhongxian. One person ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and he recommended his younger brother Xu Xianzhen to Wei Zhongxian, and he was also reused, and became a stall leader in the East Factory, specializing in detectives.

Xu Xianchun saw Wei Zhongxian's question, and hurriedly replied: "Back to my father's words, my son has just interrogated the Tai Hospital and the same knowledge of Jia Yong." Saying that, he glanced at Xu Xianzhen. Xu Xianzhen understood, turned around and dragged the person who was already sitting on the ground behind him like a dead dog. This person is the imperial doctor Jia Yong, who was diagnosed and treated by Zhu You last night, and now he is so frightened that his face is like ashes, and his body is like sifting chaff, and he kowtows to Wei Zhongxian vigorously and says: "Nine thousand years old, spare your life!" Nine thousand years old, spare your life! ”

Xu Xianzhen saw that Jia Yong couldn't even say a whole sentence except to say a whole sentence, so he said for him: "Father, my son has already interrogated this guy just now, and he said that yesterday evening, when people were unprepared, he had already put three more heart-breaking herbs in the medicine boiled for that person. As soon as the medicine was given, Bao Jianyan, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, also came by order to personally inspect the decoction. Jia Yong thought that the three more intestinal grass was colorless and tasteless in the medicine, and Bao Jianyan might not be able to detect it, so he was suspicious in the room, so he withdrew for a while. How Bao Jianyan checked the decoction, he didn't dare to look at it. When he reached Dehai, the man suddenly awoke. ”

Wei Zhongxian stared at Jia Yong with good eyes, his fat hand stroked his bare chin, and only smiled after a long time: "Doctor Jia, is this the case?" ”

Jia said in a trembling voice: "Indeed... Indeed, in front of the nine thousand years old, Weichen did not dare to deceive! ”

Wei Zhongxian raised his hand at Jia Yongxu, and said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Jia, get up and speak!" You see why you are doing this, our family is just asking a word, caring about King Ning's condition, why would they scare you like this! Tell me more, how is Bao Jianyan, the envoy of this hospital, who does he have a personal relationship with, and where is he now? ”

Jia Yong saw that Wei Zhongxian was always smiling, and he was a little bolder than just now. He steadied his heart and said: "Wechen still kneels to reply to the nine thousand years old, in front of the nine thousand years old, how can Wei Chen stand." This Bao Jianyan is my immediate boss, and his medical skills are extremely clever. Who he usually has a personal relationship with, this Weichen doesn't know, but he has always had a heart disease, and he was startled by King Ning last night, and fainted on the spot. Carried back to the hospital, the person is no longer good..."

"What?! He's dead?! Wei Zhongxian stood up coldly, furious, and the flesh on his face was suddenly angry. Everyone in the lobby of the East Factory was suddenly frightened, and even Xu Xianchun shuddered with fright.

After a while, Xu Xianzhen said cautiously: "Father, my son has sent someone to Bao Jianyan's house. Bao Jianyan is indeed dead, and his family is mourning. Er also found out that this Bao Jianyan had a close relationship with the Donglin Party, and when Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others were sick, they also invited him to go to the outpatient clinic. ”

Wei Zhongxian walked back and forth in the hall twice with his hands behind his back, muttering in his mouth: "Donglin Party... Donglin Party..."

Xu Xianchun took the opportunity to interject: "In Yi'er's opinion, someone here must have leaked the news of this operation, and the incident was not secret, and it was known in advance by the Donglin Party. This Bao Jianyan must be a lackey of the Donglin Party, and he broke a big deal at a critical moment. Then, one is dead, and there is no proof of death. No, it's very likely that the Donglin Party killed him! It's just that in this way, we can't start from Bao Jianyan, and we can't follow the vine. ”

Wei Zhongxian stopped and snorted coldly: "He's dead, isn't there still his wife and children." Manifest Pure, and you will search them. ”

Xu Xianchun hurriedly responded: "Yes, father!" Then he glanced at Jia Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, and motioned to Wei Zhongxian with his eyes: "After that person woke up, he jumped up and down, and Imperial Doctor Jia just took the opportunity to give him a dose of decoction to calm his mind." You see..."

Wei Zhongxian laughed loudly, like an eagle's falcon, and everyone was chilled with laughter. Suddenly, he suppressed his laughter, took two steps forward, helped Jia Yong up with both hands, and said gently: "Doctor Jia, you have worked hard, our family thank you." It's none of your business now, go back and rest, hehe. ”

Jia Yongru was pardoned, knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to Wei Zhongxian three times, and said in a loud voice: "Xie Jiu thousand years old, Xie nine thousand years old!" ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head, smiled and waved his hand, and Jia Yong hurriedly ran out with a rolling belt.

As soon as Jia Yong turned around, Wei Zhongxian immediately gave Xu Xianzhen a look on the side. Xu Xianzhen understood, chased behind Jia Yong with an arrow step, grabbed Jia Yong's head with both hands, and twisted it hard.

The crisp sound of bones shattering resounded in the hall. Jia Yong's chest was still facing the outside of the hall, but his head turned 900 degrees, and his two eyes bulged out of his socket like dead fish, revealing extremely frightened eyes, staring at Wei Zhongxian behind him. After a few seconds, he plopped and fell to the ground.

Wei Zhongxian was still touching his chin and smiling. Xu Xianchun smiled: "This dead thing, death is so ugly." Quickly drag it out and throw it away, don't stain my father's eyes. ”

Everyone took Jia Yong's body out with all hands and feet. Wei Zhongxian said slowly: "This Imperial Doctor Jia tried his best to treat King Ning Chitose, but he accidentally fell and broke his neck, but it's a pity, it's a pity." Does he still have family? ”

Xu Xianzhen understood, bowed to Wei Zhongxian, and strode out of the hall. Looking at Xu Xianzhen's back, Wei Zhongxian smiled with satisfaction: "Xianchun, Xianzhen, this little rabbit cub, why do you say you are so smart!" ”

Xu Xianchun smiled flatteringly: "That's not my father's cultivation yet. ”

Wei Zhongxian laughed for a while, slowly suppressed his smile, and muttered, "Xianchun." Now it seems that the power of the Donglin Party is still not small, and the means are not unintelligent. If you miss a blow, we have to stop it quickly. If you come so clearly, it's not a joke to be caught. You go and discuss it with Er Geng and Chengxiu, and besides, find out the inner ghost first! ”

The snow outside the temple was falling even more at this time.
