Chapter 129 Tragedy in the Palace
Emperor Xianlong chose Qujiang Pond in Nancheng as the venue for the feast of the capital's Jiedu envoys.

A large area of ​​water in Qujiang Pool is open to the public, but part of it is classified as a forbidden garden for the royal family, which is the Furong Garden.

In the early spring, Emperor Xianlong would bring his royal family members to Furong Garden for a boat trip on the lake.

There is also a royal palace in Furong Garden. If Emperor Xianlong is tired from playing, he can stay in the palace.

But generally speaking, Emperor Xianlong didn't have many opportunities to come to Nancheng, and even less often to Furong Garden.

This time when they heard that the emperor was coming, the maids and eunuchs in the palace immediately began to clean the palace and courtyard.

It's one thing for Emperor Xianlong to live in the palace after the banquet, but it's another thing for them to prepare well.

"Be careful, move this flowerpot to the east. Be careful with this potted plant. If you accidentally drop it, be careful with your skin!"

The old eunuch Wen Liang directed the young court ladies and eunuchs to carry and clean, while imagining the grand scene of the emperor's arrival.

As an old man in the Xianlong Dynasty, he followed Emperor Xianlong for many years, but because he said a wrong sentence, Emperor Xianlong sent him to the Furongyuan Palace to retire.

Of course Wen Liang did not blame Emperor Xianlong.As an eunuch, he was originally a servant of the royal family, even if Emperor Xianlong told him to die, he would do it without hesitation.

Now that he has the opportunity to meet the emperor again, Wen Liang will try his best to please Emperor Xianlong in hopes of returning to Daming Palace.

For an eunuch who looks up to the royal family, the power in their hands comes entirely from the royal family.

Whether the emperor values ​​them or not directly determines their future.

Although Wen Liang is 50 years old this year, he feels that it is not time for him to retire.

He wants to fight for everything as much as possible, and strive to regain the trust of Emperor Xianlong.

As for those Jiedu envoys, Wen Liang felt disdainful.

No matter how powerful he is, how arrogant and domineering he is, after all, isn't he still a dog raised by the royal family?
When the emperor uses you, he will give you some face, and when the emperor does not use you, he can kill you for various crimes.

Earth emperor?They deserve it too?

There is only one sky in Wen Liang's heart, and that is Emperor Xianlong.

"The big thing is bad, the big thing is bad, godfather, the big thing is bad!"

Wen Liangzheng was dreaming of returning to the power center, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he heard a young eunuch screaming urgently.

He frowned and turned his head to look, only to see Liu Fang, a ignorant bastard.

"What are you talking about here? Do you understand the rules? It's all right now. If your majesty bumps into the holy driver when you come down, even if you have ten heads, you won't be able to chop it off!"

"Godfather, it's not that the son is ignorant. It's really, really scary"

Liu Fang cried: "In the well in the palace courtyard, there is a dead body in that well."

Hearing this, Wen Liang's heart skipped a beat.

There are dead bodies in the well?
This is not a joke.

You must know that this is the royal palace, although it is not as heavily guarded as Daming Palace and Taiji Palace, but not everyone can enter.

Someone died in the palace, this is a big event.

Could it be that an assassin sneaked into it?
Soon His Majesty the Emperor will visit the palace, if anything goes wrong, let alone the old eunuch Wen Liang, all the palace staff will be killed with a stick.

"Take me to have a look!"

Wen Liang didn't dare to be careless, and ordered in a deep voice.

Liu Fang wiped the snot and tears from her face with her sleeve, and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

Wen Liang followed behind, looking very nervous.

The well that Liu Fang spoke of was located in the garden behind the Hongde Hall, the main hall of the Xinggong Palace. At this moment, a lot of court ladies and eunuchs had gathered in the garden, chattering about something.

Wen Liang approached and yelled loudly: "What are you making a fuss about here, don't get out of the way!"

He is the left-behind eunuch of the Furongyuan Palace, and he is like an ancestor in this garden.

Sure enough, Wen Liang scolded, and all the court ladies and eunuchs moved away, revealing a path for Wen Liang to pass through.

Wen Liang flicked his sleeves and walked towards the well angrily.

This is a very ordinary well, but there is a strong smell of blood from the mouth of the well.

Wen Liang approached, clutching his nose, peeping his head for a glance, then backed up a few steps in fright.

"how so."

There was a female corpse in the well, and the reason why he judged it was a female corpse was because the corpse was wrapped in a palace dress.

Strictly speaking, this is no longer a corpse, there are dense bones everywhere, and incomplete limbs that have been eaten.
"vomit"

Wen Liang didn't hold back, and vomited out reflexively.

It's really not his fault, the main reason is that the death of the maid is too horrible.

"Godfather, this court lady seems to have been eaten by some wild beast. But if it was eaten by a wild beast, the body should have been found in the woods. How could the wild beast have eaten her and thrown her bones into the well?" .”

The more Liu Fang talked, the more frightened she felt, and subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of foam.

"Could it be."

"It's a monster!"

A little eunuch interjected.

Wen Liang didn't interrupt this time, because he also felt that the matter was too bizarre.

It is not impossible for wild beasts to appear in the Royal Forbidden Garden. For example, Shanglin Garden in the north of Daming Palace has many ferocious beasts for the royal family to hunt.

But wild beasts can't have such spiritual power, they know how to throw the body into the well to cover up after killing a person.

This is not a beast, it is clearly a monster.

"How about, godfather, let's report to the police."

Liu Fang cried.

Wen Liang began to pace with his hands behind his back.

Things are really getting out of control now.

It is impossible to find out the truth in a short time with the existing manpower in the palace.

More importantly, His Majesty the Emperor will be here soon, and there is not much time left for Wen Liang.

If the emperor is threatened
Wen Liang didn't dare to think about the consequences.

It's better to report to the official, this is not the time to slap a swollen face and pretend to be fat.

"Liu Fang, report to the police!"

"Godfather, which yamen should I report to?"

Liu Fang looked helpless, there are too many yamen in Chang'an City, each of these yamen sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about others' roofs.They will never take care of things beyond the division of their powers.

"Such a bizarre incident, the Jingzhao Mansion can't count on it, so report it to the bad guys directly."

Wen Liang sighed.

The bad guys have always been in charge of some bizarre cases, and recently, under the leadership of the bad guy Zhao Xun in the scarlet robe, he has made a splash.

The first person Wen Liang thinks of to report to officials is bad people.

In other words, if even bad people can't handle this case, he really can't think of anyone else in Chang'an City who can find out the truth.

"The palace also sent someone to report that this is not the time to save face. It's better to lose the nobles in the palace than when things happen in the east window, and you can't afford to walk around."
