Chapter 555
After leaving Qianyuan Palace, Zhang Bangli walked slowly in the night, unable to see his expression.
When he passed by the imperial study room again, he stopped and looked at the imperial study room shrouded in the darkness. He was alone and pondered for a long time before leaving.
When he returned to his office, he immediately summoned his trusted subordinates: "Immediately transfer the attendance records of the eunuch of the General Affairs Office beside His Majesty to me."
"Eunuch General Affairs? Are you talking about General Manager Liu?" The subordinate was a little surprised and confirmed.
"That's right, it's him!" Zhang Bangli nodded, then stared at his subordinates, and explained in a deep voice: "Be careful, act secretly, don't make a statement!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, my subordinate immediately turned a stern face and turned around and went out.
Zhang Bangli sat behind the desk, his face looking a little solemn.
It was not long, and the subordinate transferred General Manager Liu’s attendance records and handed them to Zhang Bangli: “The only thing we can sort out for the time being is General Manager Liu’s attendance records in the past four years.”
"Four years are enough, you can go out first!" Zhang Bangli took it and nodded.
My subordinates didn't say much and left the room.
Zhang Bangli stared at the attendance file in his hand, took a deep breath, and opened the record book.
This has been compiled and the attendance and absence are clear at a glance.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Bangli finished reading.
Slowly putting down the record in his hand, Zhang Bangli's face began to look extremely ugly. He sat on the chair and did not move for a long time.
When he entered His Majesty's bedroom, the eunuch told him that "General Liu has taken his sick leave."
But Zhang Bangli clearly remembered that on the night of His Majesty's fainting, when he had gone to the bedroom to ask for a meeting, General Manager Liu was on duty and even came out to inform him that His Majesty had rested and asked him to leave.
If General Manager Liu had already taken sick leave before, that would be fine. How could he take leave halfway when he was on duty when he was seriously ill?
Zhang Bangli is naturally familiar with Mr. Liu. He has been serving His Majesty for many years and has never dared to be slackened. For this reason, he has been working the longest time among the general managers around His Majesty.
In Zhang Bangli's impression, he had never heard of Mr. Liu taking leave.
At this moment, he looked through the attendance records of General Manager Liu on duty during these four years. As expected, General Manager Liu had complete attendance in these four years, and the only time he was absent was this time. The day after His Majesty fainted, the attendance records showed that he had taken sick leave.
Zhang Bangli closed his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and a faint voice murmured: "I have consulted His Majesty's four imperial doctors. Since I met His Majesty, I have been preparing pills for His Majesty and never appeared in front of me. That night, General Manager Liu, who was with His Majesty, suddenly took a leave of absence. His Majesty has always been diligent, but this time he has been in bed for several days, and never took the initiative to call me to ask about state affairs..."
"Your Majesty, what happened? Why is all this?" With this inauspicious voice, Zhang Bangli slowly opened his eyes, revealing a sense of confusion and panic.
He sat motionlessly until the time of destiny. When the sun shone through the window on his face, he saw his face pale.
"Dongdong!" A knock on the door sounded.
"Who?" Zhang Bangli was shocked suddenly, and suddenly stood up with a vigilant face.
But as he turned his eyes, he saw that the door was still closed, and he couldn't help but be stunned, his vigilant expression slowly relaxed.
The door seemed to be shocked by his sudden shock. After waiting for a while, the voice came: "Sir, please come over."
"I understand!" Zhang Bangli answered in a deep voice.
I reached out and rubbed my face, slowly let out a long breath, and then I returned to my usual calmness and wanted to get up and go out.
But his eyes lowered again, looking at the record on the table, Wei Mo reached out and picked up the record, put it in a basin, and burned it clean.
Then he turned around and went out and headed towards the Queen's Palace.
He knew what the queen was looking for him. Since the attack on the Princess of Ming and the King of Ming left Beijing, the Queen often sent people to him to inquire about the situation on the Prince of Ming.
"King Ming, yes, the most important thing now is to find King Ming..." Zhang Bangli was calm on the surface, but his mind was actually very confused and could not be clear at all. But suddenly, he paused and stopped in place, as if he suddenly thought of something, his eyes were constantly changing.
It took him a long time to raise his foot and head towards the central palace again. Compared to before, he seemed to be much more urgent.
When he arrived at the central palace, he saw the queen. Before the queen could speak, he saw Zhang Bangli kneeling down and kowtowed.
"Mr. Zhang, you are..." The queen was stunned. The palace had already paid such a great gift, and had never been like this in front of her for many years.
"Empress..." Zhang Bangli raised his head again, his eyes were red.
I don’t know what he said, but I only know that after he left, the queen sat in the hall, just like Zhang Bangli last night, and had never moved for a long time.
Soon, news suddenly spread in the palace.
When the Empress of the Central Palace heard that the princess was attacked and the princess was in trouble, she was worried day and night, and accidentally fell to the ground and fell seriously injured and fell into a coma. The Imperial Hospital is urgently treating her, but she is afraid of her life!
This news was like a whirlwind, and it quickly blew from the palace wall to the outside of the palace wall and flew away along the way.

...
Pearl.
At sunrise, I was wearing a gray long gown, a white top hat, and Mo Bai, who was holding a newspaper in his hand, was sitting on a shoe stall, shining shoes while reading newspapers.
The one who polished Mo Bai's shoes was a young man who was only thirteen or fourteen years old. In today's era, it was not uncommon for such a young man to come out to do things.
The young man sat on a small stool, lowered his head, and was extremely serious.
Mo Bai sat on a bamboo chair, lying slightly backward, reading the newspaper leisurely.
No one noticed that the people coming and going around were having a conversation between the two people who were not disturbing each other.
To be precise, it was the young man with his head down who was always talking indifferently, and Mo Bai was listening.
"The other party sent four masters, one of which was a great master, and more than twenty elite mage cultivators in the melee. In the melee, two masters of Qiman and more than ten elite mages were killed."
"Uncle Master's left shoulder was penetrated by a sword, and he was also hit by a heavy palm in his chest, which was very serious..."
"Master Li Yun from Taixuan Sect was hit by a flying blade by the Grand Master on his waist, and was affected by an explosion. He was also injured very much..."
"Only two black guards were seriously injured, and they are not worried about their lives at present."
After the shoes were cleaned, Mo Bai paid the money and got up and left.
The young man shining shoes started a business for a while, then carried a small box and a bamboo chair, and shouted "shoes" while gradually moving away.
The person who was in this business was walking around the streets. After a few days of business, the young man never came again. There were a few children who were as old as him around. After that, they were guessing for several days that the young man had found a good location, so he didn't come here.
On the other side, Mo Bai called a rickshaw and headed straight for Haidong Road.
"Master, let's get here!" Mo Bai asked the coachman to stop at the intersection.
"Sir, this street is not peaceful, it's better not to stay for more!" the coachman reminded.
"Buy something and leave." Mo Bai smiled.
"Why, I'll wait for you for a while? Where are you going later, I'll take you there!" The coachman said, and wanted to do more business.
Mo Bai smiled and refused, without saying a word, took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the coachman.
When the coachman saw it, he was stunned and hurriedly said, "Sir, the fare is only one, you..."
Mo Bai smiled and said, "I'll do it. If you have a good business a day, you can run about ten yuan. The car shop rents two yuan. The gang has to charge one yuan. It can get about six or seven yuan. I'll give you one hundred yuan. It's considered to have been for you for a month. How about it?"
"You want to buy me for a month?" The coachman's eyes suddenly lit up. He could run ten dollars for good business, but he could do so well every day. On average, he could earn five dollars a day and burn a lot of incense.
A silver coin is one hundred yuan, and he is willing to even cover it for twenty days.
"Yes." Mo Bai nodded.
"This, you don't have to check out the bill for me after a month of running. I'll take your money now, it's not good." The coachman looks like he's in his early thirties and is still a honest person.
"Don't leave the car within a month." Mo Bai didn't say much and handed the silver coins to him.
"You..." The coachman looked at the money in his hand and looked up and was about to speak, but he was suddenly stunned and saw that there was no figure in front of him.
In a daze, he quickly looked up and looked around, and saw that the young man in gray who was standing in front of him had walked dozens of meters away at some point.
"Oh..." At this time, he didn't even think about why the other party was so fast, and he waved his hand to greet him, but then he quickly wiped his eyes with his hands and looked again. He saw that the figure he had just seen was gone again.
When it appeared again, it was almost a hundred meters away. Even though there were not many people on the street and the coachman looked good, he could recognize the hat on Mo Bai's head.
At this time, the coachman finally realized that he had encountered a strange thing today.
He looked down at the money in his hand in a daze, and cold sweat fell down his head.
For a moment, he stood at the intersection of the street, holding the money and didn't know what to do.
…………
The large army of the Qi Barbarians had already withdrawn that night, and the shops on Haidong Road were also reopened. No matter what happened, life would always be a matter of life.
However, after this, the traffic on this road was obviously not large.
Mo Bai walked all the way to Baicaotang. When he walked to Baicaotang, he saw two flag barbarian soldiers standing on the left and right at the door.
When you see them, you can understand why there is not much traffic on this street.
Mo Bai stopped at the door, and the gaze of the flag barbarians immediately looked at him. Seeing Mo Bai stop and look at the shop, one of them immediately pointed the gun in his hand at Mo Bai and threatened: "Get out!"
Chapter completed!
