The Dongchang, whose full name is Dongjijichang, is a special structure newly established by Emperor Xia who is only responsible to the emperor, and can supervise and arrest subjects at will without the approval of the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple. It was established at the same time as Jinyiwei, and they are inseparable. It seems that it has only been established for half a year, but in fact it has been brewing for a long time. Therefore, once established, it has become the most taboo institution for the people of the capital and the civil and military officials.

It was really as deep as the sea as soon as I entered the East Factory, and since then I have been a passerby.

Now the palm seal eunuch of the Dongchang is concurrently held by the palm seal eunuch of the Rites Supervisor, but Hai Dafu serves Emperor Xia, so the eunuch in charge is Eunuch Wei.

According to the structure of the East Factory, there are five divisions under it, the first division is responsible for affairs within the capital, the second division is responsible for affairs outside the capital, the third division is responsible for apprehension and interrogation, the fourth division is responsible for espionage, and the fifth division is responsible for assassinations. Each division has its own class, which is also acted by eunuchs.

Today, Eunuch Gao, the head of the third division, suddenly received a secret report saying that someone is abducting Princess Lanling, the daughter of King Ruyang, who may be detrimental to her, and is now in the deepest room on the fourth floor of Lingxiao Tower. So he immediately arranged for his subordinates to lead Jin Yiwei to arrest the suspect and rescue the princess of Lanling!

As dusk approached, the lanterns were already hung high, Dongchang and Jin Yiwei rushed to the outside of Lingxiao Tower, and immediately blocked the gate of Lingxiao Tower, prohibiting outsiders from entering or leaving.

And when Zhuge Liuying arrived, it was only a step later, and the people from Dongchang had just sealed off the scene.

She cursed bad luck secretly, frowning anxiously, she knew that this was a conspiracy against Xiao Rui, but she didn't know what was going on inside.

Fortunately, Dongchang and Jin Yiwei didn't rush in directly to arrest people, so she dismounted immediately, walked around to the backyard of Lingxiao Tower, and climbed over the wall to enter.

The eunuch sent by Dongchang looked at the Lingxiao Tower in front of him, with deep meaning in his eyes, he still ordered Jin Yiwei to seal the entrance and exit, so it didn't cause a big panic in the building.

"My lord, why don't we attack by force?" asked Baihu of Jinyiwei.

The eunuch sent by Dongchang was about forty years old, with a square face, fair skin, and a cold expression. Hearing Baihu's inquiry, he scolded directly: "Does our family still need your little Jinyiwei Baihu to give instructions?"

Bai Hu's face froze, and he immediately cupped his fists: "My lord, I dare not!"

Jinyiwei cooperates with the East Factory, and many things must be handled according to orders.

The eunuch snorted coldly, turned his gaze away, and settled on the Lingxiao Tower again. When he remembered what the master in charge told him: No matter who is blocking the door, you must not kill or hurt the other party. You only need to subdue it. Rush into the room and save Princess Lanling!

It stands to reason that a subordinate should do what the immediate boss asks, but this eunuch happened to know some little secrets, and he had other ideas, so he deliberately postponed it.

"Come in with our house!" The eunuch raised his hand and waved his fingers, and the hundred households of Jinyiwei immediately led people to surround him, and followed him into the Lingxiao Tower.

At this time, in the hall of the Lingxiao Tower, the diners heard that Jin Yiwei had blocked the gate, and everyone felt insecure and did not dare to speak out, so that the usually noisy building was very quiet.

The eunuch brought people in, and immediately shouted: "Our family was ordered by Dongchang to hunt down the suspect, and the idlers and others all stayed where they are and are not allowed to move! Violators will be punished as suspects and taken back to Dongchang directly!"

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei Baihu shouted behind him.

In an instant, the guests in the hall sat upright, not daring to offend the prestige of Dongchang.

At this time, most of the upstairs wing rooms were dignitaries, and they also heard that Dongchang had come to arrest people, and they were so frightened that everyone was afraid that they would be caught on their heads, and they dared not open the door, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

At this time, the eunuch led Jin Yiwei up the stairs and went up to the second floor and went straight to the third floor. The guests on the second floor who were peeping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the guests on the third floor were even more frightened.

He went up to the third floor without stopping, and continued to go up to the fourth floor, and let the peeping guests on the third floor heave a long sigh of relief, touched his forehead, wow, cold sweat on his forehead.

Soon, the eunuch brought Jin Yiwei to the fourth floor and began to search every door.

When the first door was kicked open, a middle-aged man was holding two women in his arms, his face was flushed from drinking, and when he saw someone breaking into the door, he immediately yelled: "You want to die, do you know who this official is? How dare you disturb?"

The eunuch waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei behind him stepped forward and dragged him away.

The eunuch didn't know this person, so he was naturally a petty official below the fifth rank.

The first room was not found, so continue to the second room, and the fifth room is exactly the room where Xiao Rui is.

At this time, someone spread the news that Princess Lanling, the daughter of King Ruyang, was drugged and taken to Lingxiao Tower. Imagine, a beautiful woman was drugged and brought here by the wicked, what would happen?

It's big!

No wonder Dongchang led Jinyiwei to dispatch, this is definitely a big deal!

Therefore, everyone looked up or looked sideways, watching every move on the fourth floor.

When Dongchang and Jinyiwei began to search the second room, Zhuge Liuying in the backyard had already climbed to the fourth floor and the window outside Xiao Rui's room with the rope he found somewhere. Hanging in front of the window, she breathed a sigh of relief, then pierced the window paper with her hand, opened the window, and jumped in.

She was so worried that she went around to the backyard of Ling Xiao Tower, looking for a rope, and threatening a servant to find out the location of Xiao Rui's room, otherwise it would be too late.

But then, Zhuge Liuying was stunned for a moment, her eyes widened, and her cheeks were blushing.

"Shameless!" Zhuge Liuying hurriedly turned her head, not daring to look at the two lying on the bed.

But in her mind, she still couldn't forget that scene, she shook her head hurriedly, hearing that Dongchang's footsteps were approaching, she gritted her teeth, turned around, first picked up the quilt on the ground, covered Xiao Qingqing and Xiao Rui, and then squatted down Come down and pat Xiao Rui on the cheek.

But seeing that he didn't wake up for a long time, he guessed that he had been poisoned, so he ran to the table to fetch cold water and poured it on his face.

Only then did Xiao Rui wake up suddenly, sitting upright let the quilt fall off, scaring Zhuge Liuying like a frightened rabbit, jumping away hastily.

Xiao Rui came back to his senses a little bit and saw that Xiao Qingqing beside him was not wearing any clothes, he was stunned for a moment: "Fuck!"

Seeing Zhuge Liuying in front of him again, she couldn't help but ask, "What did you do to me?"

Zhuge Liuying was being shy. Hearing this, she wished she could pull out the knife at her waist and stab the bastard to death.

"You two were drugged and did something wrong. Outside the door, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are searching from room to room, and they are here soon!" Zhuge Liuying said in a hurry, because he had already heard the noise from the next door, and he must have searched it side room.

Xiao Rui trembled all over, and his palms were suddenly filled with cold sweat.

If he was caught by Dongchang on the spot, he would lose all face and become a laughing stock in an instant. After all, Xiao Qingqing was also his distant cousin, and she had just divorced. It was Xiao Rui who exposed her husband's crimes. At that time, King Ruyang will definitely chase and kill himself with a knife!

At that time, not to mention fighting for the throne, whether he has the face to stay in the capital will be a problem!

This plan is too vicious, very vicious!

Xiao Rui secretly rejoiced that it was Zhuge Liuying who came first, otherwise he would be ruined!

However, the most urgent task is not the time to express emotion, nor is it the time to pursue responsibility, how to deal with it smoothly is the most important thing!

Xiao Rui's thoughts quickly turned eighteen times, and he immediately picked up the long gown and jacket, and didn't care about avoiding Zhuge Liuying, directly lifted the quilt on his body, stood up, and then put on the jacket.

Zhuge Liuying was peeking at Xiao Rui, and was immediately frightened by Xiao Rui's actions, her heart was beating numbly, she quickly moved her eyes away, but she still glanced at something she shouldn't have seen.

Xiao Rui simply put on the gown, not allowing himself to be honest with others, and then said to Zhuge Liuying: "Find a way to hide Xiao Qingqing, hurry up, I'll go out and deal with it!"

Zhuge Liuying nodded repeatedly.

When Xiao Rui bypassed the screen and arrived at the door, bang...

The hundred households of Jin Yiwei had already kicked open the door and entered first.

How could Xiao Rui let him in? It's too late when you enter the house. So Xiao Rui immediately rushed up, raised his feet and kicked, and flew out of the Jinyiwei Baihu who had just entered the room, ruthlessly bumped into the people outside the door, and instantly collapsed a group of people.

"Who is it? How dare you attack Ben Baihu!" Jin Yiwei Baihu got up angrily, and immediately drew the Xiuchun knife from his waist.

Xiao Rui was already standing in front of the door, covering the door behind him.

"Damn it! How dare you disturb this king!" Xiao Rui yelled angrily, and his voice overwhelmed all the families of Jin Yiwei, causing him to freeze in the air just when he raised his knife.

Xiao Rui shouted angrily, he was finally able to shout with the fire in his heart, his face was stern and cruel.

The royal guards outside the door looked at each other, no one knew Xiao Rui, but if he could call himself "the king", could he be an ordinary person in this capital?

"It turned out to be His Highness King Xian, the villain pays homage to His Highness King Xian!" The eunuch immediately beamed with joy, and immediately clasped his hands and said with a smile.

The hundred households of Jinyiwei seemed to have received the signal, and immediately withdrew their swords: "The villain pays homage to His Royal Highness King Xian!"

Others also bowed their hands immediately.

"Why are you making so much noise?" Xiao Rui asked intentionally.

The eunuch said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have come here to rescue Princess Lanling under the order of Eunuch Gao, the head of the Third Division of the East Factory. My lord has received a secret report saying that Princess Lanling has been kidnapped. Unexpectedly, so we are searching."

Xiao Rui raised his brows. This matter actually involved Dongchang. It seemed that the person who wanted to deal with him was borrowing a knife to kill someone. Let Dongchang, who is directly under His Majesty, take action.

Xiao Rui was afraid in his heart, but at this moment he had room to maneuver, so he said: "Since it is to rescue Princess Lanling, then go and search carefully."

The eunuch smiled and said: "Your Highness, according to my lord's order, he received a reliable report that the suspect is on the fourth floor, and the room His Highness is in is the last room on the fourth floor. Can you let the villain go in and take a look? If not Princess, the villain can go back and return to order."

"Presumptuous!" Xiao Rui said angrily, "Who gave you the guts? How dare you search my king's room!"

The eunuch hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Highness, calm down, calm down, the villain is also following orders, please forgive me. It's just that the master in charge of my family has issued a death order, the safety of Princess Lanling is the most important thing!"

Xiao Rui smiled instead of anger, and asked, "Are you doubting me? Princess Lanling is my cousin. Could I hurt her? I'm here today, let's see who dares to search!"

The eunuch nodded again and again and smiled compensatingly.

Just when no one dared to answer directly, a shout suddenly came from the stairs on the fourth floor: "They dare not, I dare!"

Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked over.
