Eunuch Sanbao sneered, "Who is threatening you?"

The young eunuch said: "I don't know who is behind the scenes, but the person who handed over to us is a young maid with a face. I don't know which palace she is from."

Eunuch Sanbao looked at him suspiciously, "You don't even see who is behind the scenes?"

The young eunuch shook his head, "No, the other party hides too deeply."

As he spoke, he looked at Eunuch Sanbao with tears in his eyes, "If we weren't threatened by someone, how dare we attack a court lady in Qingfang Hall in broad daylight? Eunuch Sanbao is aware of it, and we have no choice but to do so!"

Eunuch Sanbao didn't answer, and looked at the eunuch behind him, "What about you? What do you know?"

The eunuch shook his head, "What this slave knows is the same as what Xiao Anzi knows. As for the rest, this slave doesn't know."

Hearing this, Eunuch Sanbao fell silent.

The eunuch who had his tongue burned passed out, and the two guards walked behind Father Sanbao and asked him, "Do you want to deal with the rest?"

Eunuch Sanbao hesitated for a moment, "Let's keep it for now!"

The three of them kowtowed to the Three Treasures as if they had been pardoned.

Father-in-law Sanbao glanced at them coldly, "You better tell the truth verbatim, or if I want to find out where there is any discrepancy, let's go to the underworld together as companions!"

"The servants will never dare to deceive the father-in-law."

The three said in unison.

Eunuch Sanbao snorted coldly and left the prison with a whisk.

He didn't go directly to the cleaning room, but went to see his godfather, Eunuch Cui.

Eunuch Cui was serving Emperor Guangxi for dinner, while Eunuch Sanbao waited outside for a long time.

When Eunuch Cui came out, it was already dark.

"You boy, why are you here suddenly?" Eunuch Cui looked at him, "Don't ask me for something?"

Father-in-law Sanbao chuckled, "It's still godfather who knows his son. You've already guessed why I'm here before I even open my mouth."

Eunuch Cui snorted softly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Eunuch Sanbao hesitated for a moment, and said, "Can godfather give me a token, I want to go to the cleaning room to check things."

Eunuch Cui said: "Now you are the confidant of His Highness the Crown Prince, the grandfather of the eunuchs in the East Palace. With this status, you are just a small cleaning room, so why not go there?"

"That's what I said, but they may not let me in where my son wants to investigate. If my godfather doesn't support me, I won't have the confidence to go there. Don't be thrown out by someone at that time. What a shame!"

Eunuch Cui narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to check?"

Eunuch Sanbao approached him and whispered a few words.

Eunuch Cui's face changed greatly upon hearing this, "Are you serious?"

"Because I don't know if it's true or not, my son went to the cleaning room to confirm." Father Sanbao said fairly: "It stands to reason that those treasures are closely guarded, and ordinary people can't get close to them, let alone take them away directly, or someone It’s alarmist, or someone really did something in it.”

"Who has such a great ability to bribe the cleaning room and steal so many treasures?" Eunuch Cui's face was very ugly.

As eunuchs, their first reaction when they heard such a thing was naturally to feel humiliated.

No matter what the purpose is, if they touch that thing, it will kill them!
However, Eunuch Cui was still at a loss about the whole matter, "Tell me carefully, what is going on? Why were the treasures of those old eunuchs taken away?"

Eunuch Sanbao thought about what had happened in the East Palace in the past few days, and heaved a long sigh, "Isn't your Highness sixteen years old? The empress was pressing hard, so he favored a female official on the night of the first day of the new year, but the female official Being envied by others, someone used a poisonous plan to lure her to Qingfang Hall, and later, she was tortured to death by these old things. After all, she was His Highness's first woman. When His Highness found out, she was furious, and ordered me to be there. The real culprit was found in the shortest possible time, but when I went to interrogate earlier, the group of old eunuchs didn't know who was behind the scenes, they only said that someone went to the cleaning room to steal the treasure, and threatened them with this."

Eunuch Cui sighed, "Is that girl really dead?"

Eunuch Sanbao said sadly: "It's really dead, otherwise His Highness wouldn't be so angry."

Eunuch Cui accompanied Emperor Guangxi all the year round, and he had seen the prince quite a few times. Naturally, he also knew the master. He was calmer than his peers. Under normal circumstances, his emotions would not be easily revealed, which could make him lose his temper. This shows that the matter is not Generally serious.

"What a crime!" Eunuch Cui sighed, mourned for the girl for a moment, stretched out his hand to untie a waist badge from his waist and handed it to Eunuch Sanbao, "Take this to the cleaning room, the people there dare not embarrass you."

Eunuch Sanbao took the badge, "Thank you godfather, if it weren't for godfather, I don't know how to investigate this case."

"You are my godson, you have begged me, how can I stand by and watch?"

"That's right, godfather is benevolent and righteous. He will remember his kindness to his son. He will definitely respect godfather in the future." Eunuch Sanbao said, thinking of something, "By the way, godfather, what happened in the East Palace, can you temporarily Keep it secret for me, don't let the emperor know?"

"Okay, I've seen more things than you have eaten rice, can you not wink? If your majesty knows that the crown prince is doing this for a female official, he is not sure what he thinks, and I will naturally not harm him."

The person who can serve the emperor by his side is indeed extraordinary, and Eunuch Sanbao was overjoyed, "Thank you godfather, then I will go."

"Go!"

Eunuch Sanbao took Eunuch Cui's badge and ran to the cleaning room overnight.

The eunuchs who were on duty during the day had gone back to rest, leaving only the two on duty sitting at the door to take a nap.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, one of the little eunuchs opened his eyes and recognized him as the prince's father-in-law Sanbao, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"It's so late, I don't know why Father-in-law Sanbao came to the cleaning room suddenly, what's your business?"

Eunuch Sanbao was straightforward, "I'm going to visit your Immortal Pavilion."

The little eunuch's face changed, and most of the drowsiness disappeared, "Grandpa...that's an important cleaning room, why do you want to go there all of a sudden?"

"There is a case involving the baby inside, I have to go in and take a look."

The little eunuch was very embarrassed, "But we are only the last eunuchs on duty at night, and we dare not open the door for you without Eunuch Hai's order!"

Eunuch Hai is the manager of the cleaning room, and all major and minor matters here must be approved by him.

Eunuch Sanbao showed the badge given by Eunuch Cui, and waved it in front of the little eunuch, "Is this enough for you to open the door?"

The little eunuch was startled, he didn't dare to make up his mind, so he stretched out his hand and pushed his companion who was dozing on the stool.

The dozing round-faced eunuch woke up and saw Eunuch Sanbao holding the token of Eunuch Cui, the chief eunuch, in his hand. He was startled, "Eunuch Sanbao, why are you here?"

"I want to enter the Immortal Pavilion." Eunuch Sanbao repeated it again.

The round-faced eunuch looked at his companion next to him, both of them looked conflicted.

Eunuch Sanbao said: "If you two don't let me go, I'll go and ask Eunuch Hai right now if my godfather's intentions don't work in your cleaning room."

The two shook their bodies, "You can enter, you can enter, grandpa please."

Eunuch Sanbao snorted coldly, hung the token on his waist, and followed the two inside.

The so-called "Shenxian Pavilion" is just a nice name, and it is full of rows of densely packed small grids, each grid has the eunuch's name on it, and the name corresponds to the eunuch's treasure.

Once the eunuch dies, the cleaning room will take out the baby and put it with the corpse. This is called keeping the whole body, which is the last dignity of the eunuch, so that he can be reborn in the next life.

Looking around, there must be at least thousands of grids in the Immortal Pavilion.

After the two young eunuchs brought him in, they asked Father Sanbao, "Which one do you want to check?"

Eunuch Sanbao didn't directly say which one, but asked: "Are all the things in these grids there?"

"It must be there." The round-faced eunuch said: "All the eunuchs in this palace have files. Once a palace dies, they will come here to check and take away his things. Once the things are taken away, His name on the corresponding grid will be erased, and a new name will be replaced in the future."

"Really?" Eunuch Sanbao asked, "Where is Eunuch Rui from the House of Internal Affairs?"

Eunuch Rui is too old to be reused. He only does some chores in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who among these young people will remember him?

The round-faced eunuch didn't know who Eunuch Rui was, so after thinking about it, he pointed to a place on the west side, "The one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is over there."

Eunuch Sanbao walked over and reached out to open it.

The round-faced eunuch suddenly said: "Eunuch Sanbao, let's talk about it first, you can see that you can, but you can't take the things away, otherwise we won't be able to do business tomorrow!"

Eunuch Sanbao smiled inexplicably, "Take it away? It's not certain whether the contents are there or not!"

The two were dumbfounded.

Before he had time to say anything, Eunuch Sanbao opened the grid at once, and there was nothing inside, and the things that should have been wrapped in silk bags disappeared.

"How could this happen?" The round-faced eunuch panicked, "Eunuch Rui is still alive, so it's impossible for someone to take his things away. How could they disappear?"

"Could it be that thieves entered?"

Eunuch Sanbao didn't discuss the whereabouts of the things with the two of them, but only asked about the grids of the other eunuchs, and opened them one by one, all of which were empty without exception.
