However, when Mrs. Zheng, who was full of thoughts, was ordered to follow the eunuch who was delivering the message and walked out of the Yeting Palace, she found that the person leading the way was taking her in another direction. She couldn't help but stop and exclaimed: "Here,...
This shouldn't be the way to Shang Gong Bureau, who are you!"
Because they are under the name of the Palace Province and are assigned to the Shanggong Bureau and the Fourth Division, one of the six female officials of the Central Palace, they are responsible for the construction of hundreds of labors and the allocation of female workers; they are also the daily workers of the palace people and criminals in the Yeting.
The most direct management department; it is also where Madam Zheng has the most contact.
"Ms. Zheng, what you are saying is pointless." But after hearing this, the ocher-shirted eunuch who was leading the way didn't take it seriously. He showed a sad smile and said: "The Zajia family is the one sent by the Shanggong Bureau.
, if you have any questions, you will naturally understand the whole story when you get there."
At this time, Mrs. Zheng also suddenly realized that she was far away from the familiar South Alley; she was only surrounded by the waiter who followed the ocher-shirted eunuch. If the other party had other agendas and malicious intentions, wouldn't she be alone and helpless? However,
Then a gust of wind blew by, calming her down.
Because in the midst of the rustling wind shaking the trees, she suddenly saw a pair of faint lights flickering in the shadow of the trees; obviously acting as the biggest barrier between mother and daughter, she also followed them secretly. But the rest of the journey
No matter how Madam Zheng tried and speculated, the other party would remain silent.
The ocher-robed eunuch led her for a moment between the palace gates and gardens, and then came to the south of Tingye Palace, near the Chamber of Internal Affairs, in the courtyard between Youzangku and Tongming Gate.
.Then he was taken to a side hall that spanned the courtyard, had carved beams and painted pillars, and was shaded by flowers.
Then, the ocher-robed eunuch stood outside the steps, faced behind the curtain in the side hall, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen Lin Dianzheng, and the convict wife Zheng has already brought him there; but I heard that Gong Zheng was listening."
News." Madam Zheng couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart when she heard this, and her entire body became cold and stiff.
Because, among the six female officials and the twenty-four divisions, the most powerful one is undoubtedly the Shanggong Bureau, which is responsible for guiding and coordinating the affairs of the central palace. It belongs to the four divisions of Secretary, Secretary Yan, Secretary Book, and Secretary Wei, and is responsible for the palace affairs.
The books are entered and exited, the edicts are announced and paid, the keys are managed by various partners, the female history books, and the documents of the six ministers are all submitted to the printing office.
The most feared ones are the four departments of Shang Gong Bureau: Si Zhi (imperial tailor), Sizhen (treasures and goods), Sicai (silks, silk and cotton colors), and Sij (clothing, food and charcoal).
The Gongzhengsi is responsible for the administration of orders, corrections, bans, and punishments. There are separate Gongzhengs, Sizhengs, and Dianzhengs.
As one of the third-level Dianzheng, he is specifically responsible for supervising and judging the rewards and punishments of many palace people and their family members who have committed crimes in the palace. They use ultimatums to make judgments, decide small matters and punish major matters. In a sense, this is
In addition to the power of life and death, Lin Dianzheng can also take various disciplinary measures.
Mrs. Zheng couldn't help being slightly startled when she saw this, and took half a step back. This was because this person had been tortured, and his clothes were ragged and his body was covered in bruises. However, under the purple scars and blood scabs on his face, it was a familiar face.
It was the little chef supervisor whom I had seen in the dining room before.
"Okay...very good." The voice behind the curtain also laughed angrily, and ordered someone to pull up the curtain. Immediately, a female officer wearing a light crimson shirt, a black-horned bun, long eyebrows and slender eyes was revealed;
He looked at Mrs. Zheng with sharp eyes and said slowly: "It seems that you will never repent until death."
As expected, it turned out to be true. Someone was indeed secretly monitoring the behavior of their mother and daughter. And what she did was almost like throwing herself into a trap and giving others a thumbs up. It would be fine if it was just her own fault, but in the end
The one who couldn't let go was Wan'er, who was involved in a huge disaster.
"You are so stubborn and have no regrets?" The voice behind the curtain became more and more serious: "Originally, for the sake of being diligent in official affairs, some people asked me to leave you some dignity in private.
, It’s also to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones; but I don’t want to be obsessed with profit, and I don’t think about..."
"In this case, it's useless to talk more, so I'll let you be convinced." Lin Dianzheng, surrounded by several female historians in skirts, suddenly waved his hand gently and said: "Bring the person up and identify him carefully."
As soon as she finished speaking, two strong men came out from the side door to support one person.
"Dianzheng was surprised by what he said!" Madam Zheng had already thought about it a few times after hearing the words, but she slowly straightened her body and said in a gentle and firm voice: "According to the system in Ye Ting, if the young woman does anything illegal,
; I should have issued an ultimatum since I thought it was a clear and fair punishment; how could I have given it in private orally?"
However, although Mrs. Zheng did not speak at this moment, her heart was filled with poison called despair and regret. She hated herself for being too careless and did not follow Mr. Li Nu's warning to make amends in time. Instead, she secretly
Look for possible coping methods outside the palace.
"Ms. Zheng, the convict wife, do you have anything else you can say to persuade her?" Lin Dianzheng scolded: "I have already fully confessed. You, a convict concubine, are still alive because of God's grace.
Instead of thinking about atoning for the law, he dared to violate the palace prohibitions, secretly communicate with both inside and outside, and plot evil."
Of course, as a price for causing chaos and completely muddying the waters, those who witnessed the scene, including Lin Dian, would never have a chance to survive. Therefore, she continued to count with great calmness.
The other party’s possible selfish motives and intentions.
It also made Lin Dian's upright face turn white and red, red and blue, and finally turned as gloomy and ugly as the bottom of a pot; however, the strong men on the left and right who were supposed to step forward to subdue Madam Zheng, as well as the eunuchs in the courtyard, did not know why.
He fell to the ground quietly, as if he had suddenly lost consciousness.
However, at this moment, Madam Zheng calmed down and cast a longing and pleading look at the shadow in a corner. It was just like what she had said just in case: if there was no way out, please ask this person.
A Mr. Li slave killed himself and escaped with Wan'er in the chaos.
"Who is the behind-the-scenes instigator? How many accomplices are there outside the palace, and how many gangsters are gathering in the palace? Why don't you bring it in quickly? At least you can avoid the pain of torture. I'll give you a happy life! Otherwise, the crime will be added to the crime.
, even if your little daughter is young, she can’t escape the pain of being cut into pieces..."
What's more, as her elder brother who has been secretly supporting and assisting her outside the palace, he is also involved in this unreasonable disaster. This makes it difficult for her to have the face to meet the ancestors of her natal family's Zheng family.
The next moment, Madam Zheng suddenly sneered:
"Lin Dianzheng! Why bother to accuse me? You deliberately tried to use this to frame me as a crime, and you secretly ignored the rules and regulations, tortured and forced the chef to bite others, and how could you please some noble person in the palace?
The benefits make you a lackey and bite me first without caring about your dignity?"
What's more, since the Second Saint came to the court to ask questions, the status of the Liushang female official who assists the central palace has also increased. Her power and influence in the palace have greatly expanded, and she is vaguely superior to all the officials in the palace who originally belonged to the palace.
, and formed a rivalry with the original Ministry of Internal Affairs;
"Ms. Zheng, the guilty wife, do you know the crime?" Therefore, from behind the curtain, a sharp female voice said coldly: Madam Zheng came to her senses after hearing this, and immediately leaned down and saluted: "I have seen Dianzheng before, but I really don't know.
If there are any offenses or mistakes, Dianzheng must be summoned privately..."
In the struggle with the remaining three people, who tore their clothes and pulled their hair, Mrs. Zheng tried hard to recall the self-defense postures taught to her daughter by Mr. Li Nu. She used backhand elbows, poked her eyes, tore her ears, and waved.
The hammer will hit or even hit the crotch, knocking them back one by one and knocking them down.
Therefore, Lin Dianzheng, who was furious and could not contain himself, involuntarily urged the female historian next to him to continue to step forward to grab Madam Zheng; however, she unexpectedly tightened her fist and swung one of them in the face, and it suddenly seemed like
It whined like a frightened little animal and ran away.
"Rebellion, you are just a criminal, how dare you use strong words to falsely accuse Shangguan." Lin Dianzheng also turned pale, and said more and more angrily: "There are dead people on both sides, why don't you hurry up and arrest them in court, use all means carefully
After seeing it again, I don't believe that her body can be stronger than her words."
It was just that he had been tortured and was no longer human, so he could only look at Madam Zheng carefully with his swollen eyeballs under the support of a strong man. He muttered a few vague words and then lowered his head feebly. "Little man...
I can’t bear it...I’m sorry...my lady..."
Finally, with disheveled strength, he rushed in front of Lin Dianzheng, who was dumbfounded and shocked. He threw her to the ground without hesitation, and held her eyes and ears firmly. While the other party struggled and screamed in pain, he used his grip to grab her.
The books were smashed all over my face.
At this time, there was belated running noise outside, and a slightly older female voice shouted "Stop!" "Stop it all!". However, when the owner of the voice stepped into the courtyard,
They stared dumbfounded at the eunuchs lying on the ground or the women leaning against the wall and wailing endlessly.
But it was a female officer in her late forties, with mottled gray hair and a red robe. She almost gritted her teeth and yelled: "How could this happen? Where is Lin Dianzheng!" "This department has been informed that someone failed to report to Gong Zheng.
If you report it, you will assemble the equipment without any reason and use it to torture you privately in the hospital!"
Then, she finally noticed Lin Dianzheng in the side hall, behind the torn curtain, lying on the ground with disheveled hair, breathless and swollen like a pig's head; as well as bruises and purples on his body, and blood-stained clothes on his clothes.
Madam Zheng, leaning against the wall exhausted, calmly responding;
However, after seeing what happened next, Jiang Tian temporarily gave up his plan of finishing the attack and quietly left from the darkness at the top of the wall. Then, he followed a man who left on the spot and was suspected of rushing to report the news elsewhere.
The Huangmen envoy disappeared among the numerous palaces and palaces.
