The Donghua Gate was already under the control of the New Imperial Army, so this was entirely Zai Chun's territory. It would be extremely convenient for him to pass information to the people outside the palace!

Even a bloody head could be sent in easily, let alone a delivery letter!

"Hiss …" My God … Could this be the Blood Drop Hidden Weapon that was ordered by the Qiandong to be abolished? It's like, it's really like that! "

In the duty room, Da Sixi and the others were working on the archaeology work around the leather bag, where a bloody head was sitting on the table.

"It says so. This person is Wang Zhong, from the Forbidden City. He was assigned to Prince Gong's Mansion which was just bestowed the title of Emperor by the Ministry of Internal Affairs thirty years ago!"

"At present, there should still be some old eunuchs in the Forbidden City! Go... Bring the old eunuch from the Ying Hua Palace over. He's old enough, so we might be able to get to know him! "

The old eunuchs of the Forbidden City didn't have many ways out, the imperial family wouldn't raise them to their deaths. Once the eunuchs couldn't work anymore, they would be given a severance fee, allowing them to leave the palace to seek a way to survive!

It sounded really sad. It was so ugly to unload and kill a donkey. It was precisely because of the lack of security in his later years that eunuchs were all greedy for money!

Their purpose for being greedy for money was to retire, their hometown and their family. They would use money to buy a nephew as an adopted son, and build a house to retire so that others could send them to their deaths!

And if the family could not return to the eunuchs, they would donate the incense to the temple when they could make money. There were many temples in the outer city that accepted the incense money from these eunuchs.

In the future, if the eunuchs were blasted out of the Forbidden City, they could spend their last years in the Taoist temple!

Without exception, when eunuchs were on the verge of being sent out of the palace, their duties would be adjusted, and they would generally guard the palace and sweep the houses.

Many of the palaces in the Forbidden City weren't open for work every day, and many of them were specially used for ceremonial ceremonies and sacrificial ceremonies. They were only open once or twice a year.

For a place like this, it was still very suitable to have the old eunuch take care of him!

This Ying Hua Palace was originally a place for the empress dowager and imperial concubines to pay their respects to Buddha, but there were a lot of buddhist halls in the Forbidden City. Ci Xi had special small buddhist shrines in his palaces.

The Hall of Excellence was only opened once every 15 years. The rest of the time was locked up. The old eunuch could be considered as isolated from the world!

He had never imagined that he would be pulled out of bed by a group of eunuchs at 11 o'clock in the morning. He had thought that he would be expelled from the palace, so he cried out in despair along the way.

"Wuwuwu …" Old and young men … Since we have been friends for so many years, can you coax me away at daybreak? "Let this old one pack up some things as well …"

"Wuwuwu …" "I've saved up some money for my old age and buried it in the garden. Just let me take it away, otherwise I'll starve to death when I leave the palace …"

"Your Majesty …" Empress Dowager … "I beg you, have mercy on this old dog. You sent me away with a servant so that I can bring some copper coins to eat …"

"Don't cry, be careful not to offend the emperor, you old thing …" I am not chasing you out of the palace.

Xiao Sixi glared at him and scolded him. The old eunuch immediately broke into tears. "He really didn't chase me away …"

The bodyguards and eunuchs supported the old eunuch whose legs were weak all the way from Ying Hua Hall to Donghua Gate. The moment the door was pushed open, the old eunuch rubbed her eyes and looked over by the light.

"Ouch …" Isn't this Wang Zhong? Wasn't he out of the palace? "Why did he die in the palace …"

"Look, is this really Wang Zhong? What do you know about him … "

The old eunuch looked like he was afraid of Wang Zhong when he was young. "Back then, he was an assistant to the old ancestor and did jobs stained with blood …"

"We can't afford to offend people there. We even have to avoid them while walking … But I can't be wrong that we're from the same village! "

"After Daoguang passed away, he spent money to leave the palace to go to the Residence of Crown Prince. After that, we didn't have any further contact …"

Just then, Zai Chun's hoarse voice came out from outside the duty room: "We are asking you, does this Wang Zhong have any hatred for us? Why exactly did he do this to Man Shun? "Just why is he …"

When Tongzhi heard the news, he crawled up the whole night and rushed to Donghua Gate. When he revealed himself, everyone around him kneeled down!

Da Sixi held onto the secret letter and said, "Your Majesty, no one has opened the letter before. It says personally by Your Majesty, and the servants do not dare to take action!"

Zai Chun sat on the chair, tore open the door, and discovered that there was only a row of small words inside: "Salutation of Subordinate King Yi Cong!" His Majesty didn't need to be angry, he had to take care of his dragon body! The main crime for Man Shun's death isn't on Prince Kung or belle but on this old dog! '

Ah? So it was the Fifth Uncle who killed Wang Zhong. Zai Chun was momentarily stunned, but soon after, a warm feeling spread out from his heart. He did not expect the Fifth Uncle to stand on his side at the most crucial moment!

This was the vote sent by Yi Cong!

Zai Chun folded the letter and put it back in his sleeve. He then looked at the old eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and shivering with fear and asked coldly, "Since you and this Wang Zhong are from the same hometown and are also around the same age, are you from the same year that you entered the palace?"

"Yes …" Yes Yes Yes... This servant pays his respects to the emperor. Wang Zhong and I both entered the palace at the same time, but this little one has always been doing odd jobs and has never been a government official … "

"I won't spare you with your words, say whatever His Majesty asks you!" Xiao Sixi reminded from the side.

"I'm asking you!" What kind of hatred does this Wang Zhong have with us, why did they make such a move? We do not believe that this is an order from Prince Kung and belle Chen! "

"Because they aren't stupid. They don't want to have a falling out with me today … The main culprit behind Man Shun's fall to this state is this bastard! "

"Why is he doing this? Just why is it!? I don't understand! "

The eunuch's eyes were watery as he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty …" "There is nothing that I don't understand. This servant is not defending this old bastard. Honestly speaking, this old dog has no other choice!"

"For the sake of survival, eunuchs are inferior to dogs and pigs, and those without money are even more miserable!"

"No matter if it's the palace or the palace, they don't raise trash. If they can't do anything, they'll kick themselves out of the palace and perish on their own!"

"This Wang Zhong already knows that he doesn't have many days of peaceful meals left. This is his last chance, he wants to show his loyalty to the Duke!"

"One is to let His Royal Highness know that I'm still useful, and the other is to let His Royal Highness know that I'm loyal and diligent!"

"He only hopes that he won't starve to death and die without a burial ground!"

All the eunuchs present felt heartbroken upon hearing his words, but none of them dared to show it!
