Chapter 56 Arriving at the Jiaofang Temple

After the eunuch ordered all the hundreds of people in the territory to check, a total of three people were found, two were captured, and one was killed.

Before the meal time, the officials and cooks under the eunuch order did not go to the halls, but prepared the ingredients here.

Huo Shan wasn't sure if there was any in it, there was a high probability that it was gone, and there was a small probability that it was still there.

After all, it is impossible for Xiao Hei to see all of them, and it is very lucky for him to find three.

Huo Shan guessed that among the three people, one went to the meeting, and when they returned to the territory of the Taiguan Ling, two people greeted them, and then all three of them were seen by Xiao Hei.

It seems that watching too many TV shows is beneficial, at least I have some experience in my heart...

After Huo Shan thought it through, he glanced at the five young ministers standing aside, who told you to follow, you are condemned for this crime.

"Everyone is not allowed to leave, the news is blocked, and anyone who wants to leave will be shot to death."

"promise."

It is enough for ten Qimen to stay here, if it is not for the fear that there are really hidden people inside, in fact, two are enough, they are all from the palace, and they naturally know what to do when this kind of thing happens.

After leaving the eunuch's order, Huo Shan told Sun Shang:

"You go and ask Lang Zhongling and Lieutenant Du Zhou to come over, and remember to invite them here secretly."

What Huo Shan wanted was to separate out the officials and cooks who were in charge of Jiaofang Palace and Changle Palace, and check them out one by one, but obviously he didn't have that much time.

That's what the lieutenant is supposed to do, and it's just right for them to leave it to them.

And he is not enough manpower now, once the Qimen is transferred, there will be too much movement, Huo Shan walks in the palace on weekdays, there are twenty Qimen.

So it is necessary to call Xu Ziwei, the doctor who controls the palace guards.

Originally, he wanted to inform Lao Lu that he, the Wei Wei, would send his cronies to strictly investigate the people who came in and out of the palace.

But if you think about it carefully, forget it, if there is too much movement, you will definitely be discovered.

Moreover, Lao Lu didn't have any cronies in Wei Wei. He went to the south to fight as soon as he became Wei Wei, and he only came back last year. How could he find time to cultivate cronies.

One of the two Qimen put down his bow and crossbow and wore armor, while the other left directly in unlined clothes.

The man in armor went directly to the front hall of Weiyang Palace. Xu Ziwei must have been on duty in the front hall of Weiyang Palace in the first half of the day, and he had not left at this point in time.

He found Xu Ziwei outside the gate of the Xuanshi Palace, and whispered something in his ear.

"Young Junhou didn't say what happened?"

This Qimen shook his head, never saying what shouldn't be said.

"At noon, the old man will pass by."

"Little Junhou asks you to go immediately and talk about something."

Although Lang Zhongling is the nominal superior of their Qimen, Xu Ziwei can't command them, not to mention that they are now Huo Shan's personal guards.

Xu Ziwei squinted his eyes and glanced at the door. He had already guessed that there might be something important.

It was impossible for Huo Shan to say this, but Qimen obviously knew what was going on, but he couldn't say it, so he said it.

He made a gesture, and then followed Qimen to Shaofu.

When he came to the gate of Shaofu, he just saw Du Zhou coming from a distance, Xu Ziwei sighed in his heart, this matter is serious, otherwise there is no need to invite Du Zhou.

"I've seen the little prince."

The two saluted Huo Shan, Huo Shan hurriedly stepped aside, returned a junior salute and said:

"Since the two uncles have come, let's start!"

The two looked at each other, and Xu Ziwei asked:
"What happened?"

Xu Ziwei had a lot of contact with Huo Shan, and he keenly noticed that something was wrong with Huo Shan's mood, as if he was a little anxious.

"Someone wanted to poison the palace. I caught two of them and killed one at the Taiguanling. I need Uncle Du to help me check the Taiguanjin and Daoguanling to see if there are any hidden people."

"Uncle Xu was invited to come here because I lack manpower. I want to investigate this matter secretly. Doesn't Your Majesty suspect that someone is hiding in the dark? I guess it is these people."

Huo Shan had just thought about it before the two came. The ingredients in the palace were purchased by Dao Guanjin, so they were also suspicious.

So Huo Shan sent five more people over to seal off the two yamen together with those ten people, together with the people from the Shaofu, nothing would go wrong.

After hearing Huo Shan's words, the two of them immediately became serious. Xu Ziwei was really serious, while Du Zhou was a little excited in his seriousness.

Let's talk about poisoning, once they do it, it happens that the three of them will be implicated.

And if this matter is found out, it must be the lieutenant Du Zhou who will benefit the most.

Huo Shan didn't like to show his face, Lang Zhongling only cared about protecting him, and it was his job as a lieutenant to investigate the matter, so the credit naturally fell on him.

"Someone wants to poison His Majesty?"

"It's the queen."

Xu Ziwei couldn't help asking a question, and Huo Shan answered with a more emphatic tone.

Xu Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Huo Shan looking like he was going to eat people, he smiled embarrassedly.

"What's the plan, Zihou?"

Du Zhou asked a question.

Huo Shan led the two of them to the Jiaofang Hall and said:

"Let's talk as we go."

The three brought five Qimen and Sun Shang, a total of nine people, to Qimen. On the way, Huo Shan told them how he found him and what happened.

The two looked at Xiao Hei in amazement, and Xiao Hei stood quietly on Huo Shan's shoulder without even looking at them.

On the way, the three of them discussed the plan. Originally, the two of them didn't trust Huo Shan a little.

But after listening to the plan, the surprise was quite good, so the two looked at each other and planned to follow Huo Shan's plan.

After a while, a few people came to Jiaofang Hall, Xu Ziwei went directly to the commander of the guard in Jiaofang Hall, and gave a few orders in a low voice.

Huo Shan originally wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say it.

As soon as he entered the Jiaofang Hall, Huo Shan cheered up, and ordered Xiao Hei to keep an eye on everyone, and asked Sun Shang and the five Qimen to be vigilant in secret.

Huo Shan went directly into the main hall of Jiaofang Hall, while everyone else was waiting at the entrance of the hall, while Xiao Hei flew up to the beam and hid in a dark place.

"Zihou Gong greets the Queen."

Seeing that Wei Zifu was fine, Huo Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted respectfully.

After the salute, he looked around the hall, Chunyu Qiu, Xiao Ying, a court lady, two eunuchs, and Wei Zifu, a total of six people.

Chun Yuqiu will have no problem, if poisoned, then these court ladies and eunuchs are left to be suspected.

There might be an assassination, and the guards of the Jiaofang Palace are not so safe.

Huo Shan just took a glance and didn't look too much. If it was really one of them, it might arouse their vigilance.

Wei Zifu was very happy to see Huo Shan coming, but when he heard Huo Shan's address, his eyes flickered.

"What is my aunt doing?"

Huo Shan showed a big smile and asked a question.

"Jin'er is getting bigger and bigger, growing so fast, I can't wear the old clothes anymore, I want to help Jin'er make some clothes."

"I'm growing fast too. Didn't my aunt make it for me?"

Huo Shan showed a jealous expression, Wei Zifu quickly got up and walked over, lovingly touching Huo Shan's face:

"How can I not do it for my Zihou, it's all done."

"By the way, aren't you training soldiers? Why do you have time to come to my aunt today?"

Huo Shan slapped his head and made an annoyed expression:

"I'm here to ask my aunt and grandmother for help. Yesterday, Sun Shang and I beat a big bug in Shanglin Garden."

"My aunt also knows that the champion is not safe, so I wondered if I could ask my aunt to make me a tiger skin mat to calm him down."

Wei Zifu showed astonishment:
"The tiger from Shanglin Garden? Did you bring that tiger here? Just outside the hall?"

Chunyuqiu was surprised:

"I only brought the tiger skin? I brought all of them. I was looking for a tiger bone recently, so you sent it to me."

Huo Shan didn't expect to have this surprise, he just found an excuse and was going to take Wei Zifu outside the hall, but he hit the right spot.

"Well, I brought a whole one, and I also brought an old man from the Shaofu. This old man is the best in the whole Shaofu for skinning and dissolving bones. I was afraid that it would be broken, so I brought it here directly. Yes, let Aunt Qiu take a look."

Huo Shan took advantage of the situation and continued. As for the skinned old man, it must be Du Zhou. His duty is to skin the skin, but the species is different.

As for tigers, there must be none.

Wei Zifu shook his head again and again:
"I won't go, you just ask the Shaofu to fix it and bring it here, and then measure the champion's size, if Qiu'er is interested, you can go and have a look."

Wei Zifu had already discovered that something was wrong. In the past three years, Huo Shan had often come to her place, and she had taken care of him since he was a child. She knew nothing about Huo Shan.

It was rare today to 'bend down' to salute, and even called herself queen for the first time. Hearing this tone, she still wanted to invite herself outside the palace, so she had some guesses in her heart.

However, it was not in her nature to run to see a tiger, so she acted here.

"Oh, this is the first tiger I've killed with my own hands. My aunt and grandma should go and see it!"

Huo Shan took Wei Zifu's hand and shook it coquettishly, and Chunyu Qiu beside him was also very interested.

"That's right, Queen, let's go and have a look."

Wei Zifu smiled helplessly, rolled his eyes and said:
"I really can't do anything about you, so let's go!"

The three of them walked to the gate of the palace, and as soon as they walked out of the gate, Wei Zifu saw Xu Ziwei and Du Zhou.

"Your servants respectfully greet the queen."

"Gu'an, let's get down."

"Why did Lang Zhongling come here?"

Xu Ziwei saluted respectfully, and then replied:

"Going back to the queen, the little gentleman brought a big worm into the palace. My waist and legs have been feeling a little sore recently, so I came here to see if I can separate two tiger bones."

"I thought I was going to the Shaofu, but I didn't expect to come to the Queen's Palace, so I stopped by to see if the guards of the Jiaofang Palace were slack."

Wei Zifu nodded slightly.

"Where is the big caterpillar that Zihou shot?"

Huo Shan was taken aback when he heard her address, big caterpillar, it sounds cute.
