Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 227 Taking Over a New Case
Not long after, the emperor put down his chopsticks contentedly.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. I didn't expect the chef in this shop to hide his secrets. This craftsmanship is not much different from that of the imperial chef in the imperial dining room!"

The emperor said with admiration.

"Since Your Majesty enjoyed his meal, I dare to ask Your Majesty to write a calligraphy painting!"

Zhang Chen hurried forward and said, this is the main purpose of his inviting the emperor this time.

"Easy to say, easy to say! Foyin~"

The emperor called Foyin, and Foyin immediately understood and prepared.

After giving instructions to Foyin, the emperor looked at the crowd around the table and said, "I am very satisfied with today's banquet, and Chef Li is the reward!"

The attendant who accompanied him immediately stepped forward, took out a piece of official silver from his arms, walked to Li Dazui's side and put it in his hand.

With a big mouth, he looked excited. Although he didn't know how much it was, the weight in his hand couldn't be faked.

Tong Xiangyu stared intently at the silver in Li Dazui's hand, and Zhang Chen had no doubt that if the emperor was not still in the store, Tong Xiangyu would have taken the silver into public ownership according to the store's regulations.

"Hahahahaha!"

The emperor looked at this scene and laughed, this scene is much more interesting.

Tong Xiangyu came back to his senses, his face blushed after the emperor's laughter, and he retreated quietly.

"Satisfied with wine and food! How about Zhang Aiqing walking with me?"

The emperor suddenly launched an invitation.

"Nothing is impossible!"

Zhang Chen clasped his fists and saluted.

The emperor nodded slightly, and the two went to the backyard one by one.

Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Although the emperor appeared to be approachable and made a few jokes with everyone, he was the Son of Heaven after all, and everyone was still worried that he was not caring enough.

Now that he and Zhang Chen went out, everyone felt relieved.

"Hey~ Lao Bai, you said the emperor..."

Guo Furong said in a low voice, she always felt that the emperor didn't just come here for a simple meal.

Bai Zhantang nodded in relief, looked at Guo Furong with a childish expression, and reminded in a low voice: "Aren't you stupid? This is such an obvious thing. His Majesty just stopped by for a meal. I'm afraid I still have something to tell Xiaochen about my intentions."

Although Bai Zhantang did not participate in many things to help in the palace this time, he still found some abnormalities in the short-term report.

Guo Furong rolled her eyes, "Do you think I'm a fool? I just didn't understand what the emperor could do with Xiaochen?"

Bai Zhantang glanced at the backyard, and spread his hands to express that he didn't know, the matter he wanted to discuss was obviously a big one, otherwise why would he come to the inn.

Tong Xiangyu shook his head, looked in the direction of the backyard and said with a smile: "Xiaochen has grown up, and the emperor can come to him to discuss it. Doesn't that mean that our little Chen is promising!"

Tong Xiangyu had a proud expression on his face.

Bai Zhantang and Guo Furong were stunned, they didn't expect Tong Xiangyu to look at it from this point of view, they didn't know what to say for a while.

Tong Xiangyu didn't care about the two of them, but looked straight at Li Dazui. There were no other people in the lobby now, and the guards also went to the backyard to guard.

Li Dazui said that Baiyin was placed in his arms, with a look of death, he knew that if it fell into the hands of the shopkeeper, he might never see it again in his lifetime.

...............

At this time, in the backyard.

The emperor put his hands behind his back, looked at the stone mill in the courtyard leisurely, and said casually: "Zhang Chen, do you know why I came to you?"

Zhang Chen shook his head, there are too many possibilities for this thing.

The emperor let out a long sigh, and then said in a low voice: "Just yesterday, someone sneaked into the palace again..."

Zhang Chen was really surprised. The Ice Bestowment Ceremony happened only a few days ago, and the defense of the palace should be even stronger.

"This………"

Zhang Chen didn't know what to say. Could it be that the palace has really become a vegetable market, and anyone can enter it back and forth?

The emperor's expression froze, this incident really made him lose face.

Foyin took a step forward and explained: "Because of Liuzhu and Sun Zizhen's incident, the guards in the palace have been changed again.

Moreover, most of the guards were re-selected from Jinyiwei and Dongxi two factories. Logically speaking, there should be no problems, but this is not the case. "

Zhang Chen couldn't help asking curiously: "Then how did the assassin get in this time?"

The emperor didn't speak, and Foyin went on to say in embarrassment: "When they were leaving, they were discovered by our patrolling people, and that's when we knew that another assassin had entered the palace."

"Then His Majesty is looking for me?"

Zhang Chen asked straightforwardly, and he found that Foyin always missed the point, and seemed to be vague.

"Ahem, let me tell you!"

The emperor coughed and said.

Zhang Chen pretended to be listening attentively.

"The Queen Mother has been taken away."

The emperor gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, Zhang Chen was startled when he heard this.

In the following time, the emperor gave a general account of what happened yesterday.

Zhang Chen suddenly felt magical. Many plots are really intertwined. The matter of the same boat meeting here is not over yet, and the Hulong Villa over there may have another problem.

"Your majesty understands what I mean. You want me to investigate this matter secretly. It is best to rescue the queen mother without going abroad."

After Zhang Chen cleared his mind, he expressed his understanding to the emperor.

The emperor nodded. It is really inappropriate for the court to know about the face of the royal family, especially since the court has just been cleaned up.

"I hope you find out as soon as possible!"

The emperor looked up at Zhang Chen, with an obvious look of expectation on his face. The emperor still trusted Zhang Chen's ability very much. Since his debut, he has solved major cases in a very short time.

"Your Majesty, who else knows about this matter?"

Zhang Chen asked.

"I can say straightforwardly that this matter should have already spread, and even though I had ordered the news to be blocked at that time, you should also know that this imperial palace cannot hide secrets.

Today, when I came to the inn for a banquet, I decided to entrust this matter to you. I can rest assured of your ability! "

The emperor didn't play tricks, but explained the reality in detail.

Zhang Chen cupped his hands slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

The emperor has already told you what's in his heart, so if you don't say anything at this time, it's your own problem.

After Zhang Chen expressed his opinion, the emperor's mood obviously improved a lot, and then he said earnestly: "When this matter is over and the queen mother is rescued, I will definitely reward you for your merits!"

Zhang Chen cupped his hands again.

"Are things ready?"

After the official business was finished, the emperor remembered the matter of explaining to Foyin.

Foyin nodded quickly, and the group returned to the lobby. The pen, ink, paper and inkstone had already been prepared, and His Majesty the Emperor brushed down a few large characters.

“Home away from home!”

Everyone looked at the four characters on the paper and said silently.

　Thanks for the support!
