Guo Zhen left the palace quietly. As an old man in the palace, he naturally knew that the most important thing in the palace was secrets.
But this time, Guo Zhen still felt cold all over because he discovered a big secret.
There are many secrets in the palace, but most of them would not shock a eunuch of his level. Only this time, Guo Zhen almost had a premonition that he might not have a good death. Because people who know such secrets are almost
He will inevitably die violently.
Guo Zhen discovered the truth about the emperor falling into the water.
Of course, this is actually only a partial truth. To be precise, Guo Zhen discovered that there was a problem with the emperor's treasure ship. It was not that someone had tampered with it, but that there was something wrong with the design itself.
Your Majesty is an expert, and the drawings passed through his hands. Naturally, there would be no problems at that time. Therefore, the problem must lie in the drawings in the hands of the craftsmen.
Guo Zhen holds a sample of the original drawings in his hand. As long as he can find the drawings used by the craftsmen when constructing them for comparison, he can naturally confirm this matter.
Guo Zhen asked a craftsman from that time. The other party told him that the drawings they had seen before were slightly different from those in Guo Zhen's hands.
In fact, Guo Zhen didn't want to investigate this matter in depth. But he already knew that it was too late. After the emperor fell into the water, he had been responsible for investigating the matter. He didn't know how many people were watching him secretly. Guo Zhen was very familiar with the people in the palace.
rule.
This rule is that countless big and small things happen every day in the palace, some good and some bad. And all these things, except the emperor, will be spread outside the palace. The eunuchs in the palace
Each of the palace maids received more than one share of money to deliver news.
Therefore, apart from the fact that the emperor did not know about the news in the palace, there were no secrets at all.
What you do cannot be hidden from those people. Once you are involved, you can only move forward as much as possible. If you can find out the truth and find evidence, there is still a glimmer of hope. Of course, it is only a glimmer.
Guo Zhen made an appointment with the craftsman and asked him to bring the drawings from the time of construction. As long as he got the drawings and compared them with the drawings in his hand, he found absolute evidence that there was something wrong with the treasure ship.
In the restaurant, Guo Zhen, who was wearing casual clothes, was waiting anxiously. But the person he was waiting for never arrived. This gave Guo Zhen a bad feeling.
At this time, he suddenly realized that at some point, the drinkers in the restaurant had almost left. There was only one waiter left in the empty restaurant, taking a nap.
Guo Zhen shivered violently, stood up and hurriedly walked outside. At this time, there were dense footsteps outside the door.
Guo Zhen froze for a moment and was about to run away. Suddenly, he felt someone covering his mouth from behind and dragging him to the back kitchen of the inn.
"Don't make any noise and come with me."
Hearing a familiar voice, Guo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. He followed the other person obediently and left the restaurant through the back door.
At the main entrance, a group of men in black rushed into the restaurant, but Guo Zhen was not seen.
In a secret mansion, Lu Xiao took off the mask on his face.
"Eunuch Guo, what happened? I rushed over as soon as I received your message. Those people just now are not ordinary villains. What on earth are you doing?"
Guo Zhen did not speak, but first picked up the teapot next to him and drank a lot. Then he took a few deep breaths and then started to speak.
"Lu Qianhu, I really have to rely on you to save my life this time. I'm afraid a disaster is coming."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Lu Xiao's calm tone made Guo Zhen calm down a little.
"Lu Qianhu, I found that someone is planning to rebel!"
Lu Xiao was immediately 'shocked'.
"Rebellion, this is no joke! Do you have evidence, who wants to rebel?"
"I haven't found out who it is specifically. But I have found out the truth about the emperor falling into the water. Someone tampered with the drawings, causing the treasure ship to sink and almost killing the emperor. Isn't this treason?"
"The treasure ship has been tampered with? Father-in-law, you can't say this nonsense, or you may lose your head. Do you have any evidence?"
"I could get the evidence tonight. I have a copy of the blueprints kept in the palace, and I also found the person who was responsible for supervising the construction of the treasure ship. The blueprints he said were different from what he saw back then. We made an appointment today
When we met at night, he gave me the drawings from that year. But who knew that he didn’t come even after I waited all night, and..."
After listening to Guo Zhen's words, Lu Xiao was thoughtful. He pushed the teapot to Guo Zhen and asked him to drink some water to calm down. Then he spoke.
"When I went there, I didn't see anyone else. The person you made an appointment with either didn't go or was silenced."
"I knew it, I knew it!!" Guo Zhen regretted endlessly.
"I don't have the command block above to intervene in this kind of thing! What plans does Eunuch Guo have?"
Lu Xiao vaguely expressed that he did not want to interfere. Guo Zhen understood what Lu Xiao meant.
"For the current plan, I have no choice but to go back to the palace and serve His Majesty. I guess they won't dare to attack me in the palace."
Lu Xiao wanted to say something directly, they all attacked the emperor in the palace, why do they still care about you?
But after thinking about it, I still didn't directly stimulate Guo Zhen.
"In that case, I will immediately send someone to take my father-in-law back to the palace."
After Guo Zhen was sent away, Lu Xiao sat on the chair without moving. In his hand was the drawing that Guo Zhen didn't take away.
At this time, Lu Wenzhao walked out of the back room.
"This Eunuch Guo is such a quickie. He has been drawing a clear line with us for eight years. When he encounters the problem of losing his head, he thinks of us first. He is really 'emphasis on love and justice'!"
"Haha, maybe in their eyes, we warriors are just used to block knives. He also said some kind words back then, and we saved his life twice. That's all the kindness we have."
"That's good, it will save you the trouble of making another move later."
Lu Wenzhao said and took out a blueprint from his arms.
"This is a sample of the blueprints for building a treasure ship stored in the eucalyptus library."
The two carefully compared the two drawings and found subtle differences. Lu Wenzhao was a little confused.
"This thing is weird. It took more than a year for the treasure ship to go from drawing to construction and launching.
This means that those people started planning a year ago. During this period, I don’t know how many inspections there were, and there was not a single problem. Why is this wrong drawing still preserved? Isn’t this in line with those people’s style?”
Lu Xiao looked at the two different drawings and chuckled.
"Haha, this is not simple. The drawings were not destroyed, so they must have left them on purpose. As for the purpose, it was naturally to elicit this clue.
Guo Zhen has lived in the palace for a long time, how can he be so capable and find out so many things. If he can find out, of course someone asked him to find out."
Lu Wenzhao nodded.
"It seems to be true. Someone deliberately borrowed Guo Zhen's hand to lead this scandal. And the person who supervised the construction of the treasure ship was a person from Dongchang."
Lu Xiao sighed softly.
"Look, everyone says that Wei Zhongxian is treacherous and vicious. So now, who are these people who are planning to kill the emperor in order to deal with Wei Zhongxian?"
