Vol 2 Chapter 72: Leng Qingtang's retaliation

Hearing that the father-in-law Duan was involved, Ming Lan immediately glanced at Gu Yunjin. The who reported the incident led the people from Xichang to the director of the ceremony. +++ Catino Novel Network www.ck101.la
On the way, Minglan heard the little eunuch's explanation of the incident.
A few days ago, in the middle of the night, Gong E suddenly jumped into the lotus pond in Xianghe Garden.
When the internal officials tried to salvage people from the bottom of the lake, they found that she was out of breath. After certification, it was learned that the deceased was Caiping of Shanggong Bureau.
People from Shanggong Bureau found a suicide note under her bed and pillow when she was sorting the relics for her.
Above it, it was stated that Caiping was favored by Duan Shaochun, the superintendent of the house attendant, and threatened not to be insulted by the medicine.
Before and after the incident, it was the day when Gong'e's attendant met with his family. Caiping's elder brother stood under the Shenwumen for a few days, but none of her sister was seen.
In the end, he waited for Caiping's death from the epidemic, a bag of her relics, and a bone planting jar with her ashes.
After that, I don't know who connected Caiping's (killing sha) Zhen to her suicide note and handed it to Caiping's brother.
That man was originally a butcher, but a rough one. Early the next morning after learning the truth, people started to riot outside Shenwumen.
Leng Qingtang had just re-appointed as the Superintendent of Ceremony, and when he learned of this, he launched a large-scale inspection operation in the twelve prisons of the palace.
The purpose is to eliminate those who have misbehaved in the inner court of the palace, and the servants and palaces of the palace in the palace.
The twelve prisons of the Dayi Imperial Palace, namely the Secretary of Li, the internal servants, the imperial prisons, the imperial horses, the divine palace, and the duzhi, are in charge of serving the emperor and his family.
Just when Minglan entered the Weiyan Pavilion, the Li supervisor was recruiting people on a large scale.
After that, they escorted a group of offenders and took them all to the backyard of the Superintendent of Rites, waiting for the release of the palm seal from Leng Qingtang.
Ming Lan and his subordinates rushed into the main hall of the Superintendent of Rites.
As always, here is surprisingly quiet.
It was the weird silence that made Minglan and the crowd just stepped into the door, they felt enveloped by the extremely suppressed aura of coldness and solemnity.
In this terrifying atmosphere like a ghostly hell, Ming Lan couldn't move her feet.
While standing still, he could only feel his temples, beating in panic and trembling between the dull temples, and then the skin all over his body became tight and the hairs stood up suddenly.
The person who stayed behind in the main hall of the Superintendent of Rites was the newly appointed Liu Bingbi, and he was naturally also a close friend of Zhang Yin Leng Qingtang in the palace.
Seeing Minglan's unusually nervous look, Liu Bingbi got up from the chair to show his respect, his purple lips pulled up a smile line, and his eyes lowered secretly to suppress a three-point chill, as if he was waiting for Ming Lan Yi (gan gan) people are waiting to arrive.
Minglan ignored Liu Bing's pen, did not snorted to him, and swarmed back to the hall with his men, like a wolf.
The violent room of the chief priest is in the back hall. The violence room is a separate room in the palace used to punish offenders.
The twelve prisons of the imperial palace and the residences of concubines in the harem all have chambers of violence.
The room does not need to be too big, it is a house with doors but no windows. The inside has been impenetrable for years, and it is dark, with various cruel and punishments.
When Minglan arrived in the backyard, he saw that the periphery of the courtyard of more than 20 square meters was surrounded by the Superintendent of Li and the guards of Dongchang. The black circle was full of people, so that his line of sight could not reach the encircled circle.
However, when people arrive here, they can hear the cry of crying father and mother in the encirclement.
Minglan made a look (color), and the young eunuchs who followed immediately stepped forward, separated the encircled crowd, and walked in with their supervisor.
In the middle of the courtyard is the nearly a hundred criminals taken down by the Superintendent, most of them are servants, and a few Gong E.
Among them, more than a dozen were already lying on the opposite benches with their backs upside down. The eunuchs in charge of courtesy and justice held large red-painted wooden sticks with thick mouths, standing aside with solemn expressions, waiting. Palmprints give orders.
At noon, there was a round of golden crows in the blue sky. When the flowing fire was venomous, it was shining brilliantly, burning the blue brick ground without an inch of shade, and the white flowers were so dazzling that people didn't want to open their eyes.
Dry gan) Father! (Dry gan) Father I am here"
He probably smelled the familiar apricot flower powder scent, and a man lying on the bench broke his throat and shouted, trying to straighten his slender neck, and looking around, looking around in horror. The crowd was searching hard for someone.
Ming Lan immediately became furious, and rushed to the person in three steps at once.
The on the bench is in his early twenties, with delicate skin and delicate features.
. He was already stripped of his robe, (tuo) off his official hat, and took off his trousers to wait for punishment.
This person is the son of (gangan) Minglan recognized in the palace and the fuse who caused the twelfth prison inspection. The perpetrator mentioned in the suicide note of Gong'e that Shenhu self-approved was Duan Shaochun.
Seeing the life-saving straw figure right in front of him, the sweaty father-in-law Duan's pupils shone brightly, and he grabbed Minglan with both hands, his expression excited.
Dry gan) father, (dry gan) father, please help me! Don't let Father Leng beat me, he will kill me"
The criminal next to him came over and beat the hand of Duan's father-in-law volleyed.
When Minglan saw this, his face (color) was gloomy, and his healthy right hand was clenched into an iron fist in his wide sleeve. He bent over and approached the father-in-law Duan, lowering his voice and reprimanded:
"Dianzi, what's the matter? You have always been careful, but this time you are so careless!"
Father Duan's lips trembled, he grinned in half startled and half scared, and sobbed:
"Caiping, you know, she and I are in good terms, and my girl is also approved by her.
But I don't know why she suddenly couldn't think about it, she wanted to get involved with me if she wanted to die! Oh...(gan gan) Dad, you have to save me! (Dry gan) Dad, I don't want to be beaten to death! "
It doesn't matter if the father-in-law Duan cries, the other servants waiting to be sentenced, kneeling, sitting on the chair, and a group of servants Gong'e, imitated him and wept loudly and pleaded with Minglan.
For a while, the wide backyard screamed, and the miserable sound made Minglan's heart tremble, and his body stiffened. The face (color) of the porcelain-white face covered with powder was white again.
Although this Xichangchang Gong is a root-cut eunuch, he has taken in many disciples 猢狲 in the palace.
Now if Leng Qingtang really wants to be caught in a pot, the casualties are also heavy.
That's it!
Ming Lan suddenly understood that this time the twelfth prison censorship operation, it seems that the superintendent of the ceremonies took the lead in rectifying the rules and regulations of the palace, but it is actually to clear the eyeliner buried in the palace in Xichang!
Want to Lai Minglan came from the internal servant superintendent, and was later promoted to the second-class admiral by the in charge of the third grade of Yongning Palace, and went out of the imperial palace to serve in the West Factory.
If the supervisors of the imperial palace do not put their eyes on them, it will not be possible to maintain the exchange of information between the West Factory and the inner courtyard of the imperial palace.
No one provided information in the palace in time. He, the admiral of the West Factory who was outside the palace, could not accurately figure out the holy will and grasp the latest news about the concubines in the palace.
It is not difficult to imagine that Leng Qingtang took a lot of West Factory informants just after regaining power, just to turn the West Factory Admiral into a living blind!
As for Duan Shaochun, it is not difficult to understand.
As long as Leng Qingtang moved his mouth, someone would take Caiping abducted for him, and immediately sink the person into the lotus pond after the medicine was administered.
On the left, Na Gong'e was also one of Minglan’s informants. He forged a suicide note and sent someone to inform Caiping’s family to secretly help her family make trouble and make the situation full. Leng Qingtang, the superintendent of the Li, took the lead to calm down. , The reason leading to the cleansing of the palace...
If they want to do things like this in the East Factory, do things like planting and blaming others, wouldn't they be caught in their hands?
The deeper he thought, the more angry Ming Lan became. He straightened up angrily, strode the meteor to the north side of the house, and stopped under the corridor.
On the left and right sides of the corridor, the other eleven supervisors' palm seals and supervisors were set up, all of them nodded and lowered their eyebrows, as if they had been deterred by the imposing manner of the supervisor, and they were too scared to breathe deeply.
Leng Qingtang leaned against the red sandalwood grandmaster chair in the middle, placed his five plain white fingers on the smooth curved Kylin head armrest and tapped lightly.
That elegant state of leisure is as relaxed and content as waiting for an impromptu entertainment program after a full meal.
He was wearing a blue admiral's robe, and the serpentine snake python with a serpentine body stretched its teeth and claws, and the awe-inspiring power of all directions seemed to be incompatible with his leisurely and casual appearance at this time.
Seeing Ming Lan approaching with a heavy face, Leng Qingtang leaned forward slightly, and raised the end of the narrow eyes, (thin bao) lips pulled out a thin smile.
Minglan stopped under the cloud steps and stood up. There were a number of imposing eunuchs on both sides and behind him, watching the surroundings coldly, guarding their factory father astutely.
All of a sudden, his eyes faced each other, and the clear phoenix eyes met Shangyin Mei's peach blossom eyes.
There were two men on the Yuntai and two factory admirals, one with a smirk and an angry eyebrow.
One is Langhua's superb beauty and grace like wind, and the other is soft and charming like water, delicate and enchanting.
The atmosphere around him instantly became fierce because of the current rivalry, making everyone on the left and right under the corridor silent.
After the spring banquet in March, the admiral of the East and West factories
There is no meeting again, and now the two meet again, it is on this occasion.
Who knows that the two of them have been at odds long ago, it seems that the attitudes of the two admirals towards those offenders are quite different.
One wants to punish, the other wants to stop, the two of them are here and now, the needle-pointed magnificent strength.
Ever since, there is no shortage of good deeds among the twelve supervisors standing under the corridor.
They didn't say anything, but in their hearts they were eager to have a lively life. They wanted to see what the two factory masters, who had never been at peace with each other, could be pinched in a while.
Minglan stood in front of the porch for a long time, and saw Leng Qingtang not answering a word. He just watched him smile if he didn't laugh, and suddenly became angry, clenched his fist and asked:
"Supervisor Leng, what do you mean?"
Leng Qingtang smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows:
"What's the meaning of this governor? Didn't the governor of Ming ask Duan Shaochun just now? This person does not check, except that people gathered in the shift room on duty to gamble, steal palace goods and sell them in the market, and their prostitution ~ chaos the palace and force the palace maids to vote. The crime of death in the lake is even worse.
In order to comfort the deceased in the spirit of the sky and appease his family and relatives, the governor is now enacting the law of the palace. "
"Legal?"
Ming Lan snorted, and narrowed his eyes sullenly.
Leng Qingtang's words are high-sounding, and his hidden purpose of telling others, really think that others don't know it?
I wanted to happen on the spot, but my own (gan gan) is still in the hands of others. Minglan wanted to save people, so she had to temporarily lower her posture.
It is said that this period of Shaochun is about the same age as Minglan. The reason why he recognized Minglan as (gan gan) father at that time was because he was serving as a messenger in the palace of Wanhuanghuang and he intended to ingratiate himself.
And he is clever and exquisite. He and his dozens of internal officials are the most powerful bone (gan gan) power among Xichang's eyes in the palace.
If you can't save the remaining dozens of people, how can you save Duan Shaochun and his men!
Minglan secretly guessed that he lost his jokes and his subordinates, and now he is in danger, without the favor of the princess Wan, and without his most important informant, there will be nothing left in the palace cusp.
Minglan's tight face (color) was slightly relaxed, and he chose to hold back his breath for a while, his eyes (color) gloomily looked at the Leng Qingtang above the cloud platform, and spoke slowly:
"There are still doubts about the palace lady's throwing into the lake, and I hope Supervisor Leng will investigate it carefully. During this period, can the perpetrators be banned, and the incident will be cleared before they can be sent out?"
Leng Qingtang (color) is light:
"What else to check? The legacy of Gong E is clearly written. To talk about detailed investigations, this superintendent is also afraid that such incidents will be reborn in the Gongwei Neiyuan, and a large-scale inspection has been carried out in the 12th prison.
A total of 94 people who violated palace rules were arrested in this operation, and more than 100 pickled objects were seized.
Now that the governor Ming is standing in front of this governor and he talks about it in detail, the governor really doesn't know. What else does the governor have to investigate? "
Minglan's eyes (color) condensed, suddenly dumb.
Leng Qingtang spoke softly, like a sudden slap in the face, and hit Ming Lan's face hard.
Minglan's fingertips moved slightly, repeatedly suppressing the irritability of Wu Nei, without obliviousness, and asked bluntly with a negotiating mouth (kiss wen):
"Supervisor Leng, can you give the Supervisor a face and spare Duan Shaochun and the thirteen members of the inner servant?"
Leng Qingtang withdrew the leaning half of his body, leaning back against the half-high back of the Grand Master's chair.
"Face? Does it depend on you?"
A sorrowful smile was concealed in his mouth, Leng Qingtang looked directly at Minglan's hidden anxious eyes, and the cool words, like a sharp cold wind, instantly blew into Minglan's body, ruthlessly piercing his heart:
"How much face do you have, how does the Governor know?"
Shengsheng was choked back by Leng Qingtang's sarcasm, and Ming Lan's peach blossom eyes widened.
How can he forget?
The sentence just now was originally the words of Cheng Wanli who ran to the Dongchang factory some time ago to make trouble.
Now Leng Qingtang returned to him exactly what he had said, with very obvious intentions:
Leng Qingtang, who regained the power of the chief servant in the palace, is about to retaliate against him and his West Factory...
