Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Serving a powerful official is a difficult job. When the powerful official is old, has a weird temper, and is full of diseases, it will only bring torture.  The young eunuch is fourteen or fifteen years old, with delicate features. He has been serving as a regular servant for almost a year. He hardly knows what the most powerful eunuch in the world looks like - from the first day he entered the palace, he was told not to look at him seriously.  Looking at people, for those with higher status, no raising of the head is allowed. A finger, a cough or even no sound from the master are all commands.  As for the specific meaning of this order, he had to figure it out.  The little eunuch's supervisor once explained this word with infinite reverence, "To think about it, one can never finish comprehending the profound avenues and principles of the world in one lifetime, and the foundation of protecting one's life and one's life. It is sour when you first eat it, but the more you chew it, the more it tastes. It is  The weapon in your hand has no sword, but it can kill as you please. There is no article, but it can amaze the world. The most amazing thing is that there are no rules to learn here. From beginning to end, you have to understand it yourself. "  He didn't understand, but at that time he "guessed" what his supervisor meant, so he knelt down and swore to the sky that he would always be loyal to his supervisor, not hesitate to tip off information, and whenever there was a chance, he would also say a few kind words in front of the Chief Minister.  Only then did the supervisor confirm that this son was a useful talent.  The little eunuch quickly became an indispensable tool for the regular attendant Yan Qin, who had to take him with him wherever he went. The little eunuch figured out his actual status: he was a walking stick, and he had many responsibilities at the same time.  The only thing not allowed is the mouth.  He has not yet gained the qualifications to ask, let alone "say a few nice words."  It has been half an hour since Li Zhong Changshi issued the last order. The little eunuch has tried all the skills and understanding he has learned in the past year, but he still cannot get any information from the master across the wall. This is an unusual thing.  He has learned to judge the owner's emotions and needs from the soft footsteps and breathing.  But during this period of time, there was no sound from the house.  Quiet, unusually quiet, it was the first time Xiao Yi encountered this situation. He believed it meant something, but he couldn't figure it out.  It is like a giant sword that is too big and heavy.  The little eunuch tried his best to swing it, but he couldn't swing it. Under increasing pressure, he followed his strong instincts and premonitions, threw away the giant knife, took steps, and gently pushed the door open.  If the supervisor were here, he would definitely sigh about this. The little eunuch has passed many tests, but he made a wrong judgment at the last moment.  He should have found someone with a higher status to open the door.  Even after walking into the house, the little eunuch still couldn't figure out any of the master's emotions. So, for the first time in nearly a year, he raised his head slightly. The first thing he saw was an ugly face with loose skin, which was different from what he imagined.  The appearance of the master in it is somewhat similar, but this face does not give him any orders.  Then he saw the clearest message.  The screams of horror penetrated several walls and spread clearly into the hall in front.  It's like an indestructible sharp blade piercing the listener's heart.  Zhang You was shaking so hard that he dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground and fell from his chair. It looked like he was trying to get under the table.  He immediately stood up again and looked at Gu Shenwei with some annoyance and pity, "Master Gu, please wait a moment. None of these little monkeys are worried" Zhang You ran to the backyard and rushed into the room.  .  Seeing that the little eunuch had fainted on the ground, the Zhongchang attendant Yan Qin opposite him was sitting motionless on a chair with a dagger stuck in his chest.  "My dear mother." Zhang You sat down on the threshold, it hurt so much, but he couldn't move.  Gu Shenwei did not wait in the front hall, but stood behind Zhang You. Looking at the dead eunuch, Yan Qin looked very old and in poor physical condition. From his facial features to his skin, every inch was sagging. Even though  It seemed like he wouldn't be able to live long without that dagger.  It is hard to imagine that this is Yan Qin, the most powerful official in the world, who has served several generations of emperors. It is even harder to imagine that he once sent people to the Western Regions to hire Jinpeng killers, and then repeated it several times, inexplicably wanting to keep Gu Shen as one of his own.  Life.  He holds the most secrets in his heart, probably for this reason, that dagger was inserted right into his heart, and all the secrets disappeared with this stab.  "It won't take long." Gu Shenwei said.  Zhang You turned around in horror and saw Gu Shenwei. He was not angry, but as if he had seen a savior. He stretched out his arms to hug his thighs, but was dodged, "Mr. Gu, Dragon King, it's none of my business."  "What, what's going on?" "Don't move the body, tell someone to go immediately." Zhang You was startled by the word "corpse", but Gu Shenwei was calm and calm.  The commanding tone still made him wake up, stand up and run to the middle of the yard.As the little eunuch screamed, the eunuchs and ordinary servants who couldn't hide because of the little eunuch's screams gathered around one by one, waiting for instructions. They didn't see the body, but they already knew what happened.  Gu Shenwei walked into the room, stepped over the fainted little eunuch, looked at the body carefully, stretched out his hand and pressed it gently twice, and then walked around the room twice.  The little eunuch woke up faintly and screamed when he saw the corpse. He screamed again when he saw Gu Shenwei. Then he recognized this person as the guest invited by the regular servant today. He wanted to stand up, but his limbs were as soft as cotton.  He had to kneel on the ground.  "Have you been serving the master?" The little eunuch's mind started to spin. He immediately figured out the crisis from the guest's question, tried hard to control his tongue, and argued: "No, no, I, I was guarding outside, and I just came in.  , just saw, just saw" "You have been waiting outside?" "Um no, no, about half an hour ago, I went to the front to greet Mr. Gu, came back and reported to Mr. Zhongchang, and then stayed outside.  " "He was still alive at that time? " "Alive" Xiaoqin's tone suddenly changed. At that time, Yan Qin didn't say anything and didn't move. Xiaoqin took this as an order, so he left the house and closed the door.  Thinking of something, "He must be alive. Mr. Zhongchangshi doesn't have a dagger on his body." Gu Shenwei glanced at the tea cup and the open medicine box on the table, "Who was serving him before you?" Just as Xiao Yi was about to speak, Zhang You  Running in hastily, he had regained his composure and suddenly understood.  It was a mistake to ask Gu Shenwei for help, and it was even more wrong to leave him at the scene. "Master Gu, please sit in front for a moment. This kind of thing happened Oh, how is this possible? It must have been done by those killers again."  It's lawless. This is the capital, and it has never been" Gu Shenwei returned to the front hall. Zhang You changed his previous indifferent attitude, served tea in person, and chatted miscellaneously. His current thoughts were very simple. Such a big thing happened.  No one in the house can leave, not even guests.  It didn¡¯t take long.  A group of soldiers arrived, most of them entered the backyard, and five others walked into the front hall. The leader was a samurai with a sword. Zhang You took a few steps to greet them, "Master Gao is here, a disaster from heaven, why are you the only one?"  A person" Mr. Gao is about forty years old.  He has a strong body and a majestic appearance.  Wrapped in bright armor and a red cloak, the Jialan protector looked like he had walked straight out of a mural. He looked at Zhang You and said, "Take it." Two soldiers immediately stepped forward and pushed Zhang You down.  Zhang You was shocked and angry, "Why should you arrest me? I have nothing to do with the assassination of Mr. Zhongchang. You are a small Dongmen Sima" Gao Sima said coldly: "The palace ordered that all relevant persons be arrested.  I can't disobey you, please be patient." After saying that, he winked and the two soldiers walked out with Zhang You in his arms.  Gu Shenwei¡¯s father Gu Lun once served as the emperor¡¯s bodyguard.  So he knew a little about the palace guards: the outermost perimeter was patrolled by the Yulin Army. Linshui Wanbao, where the palace assassination happened before, was guarded by the Yulin Army. The captain on duty that night was imprisoned because of it, and the one level further down was  In the real palace, the security is in charge of the guards. Each of the four palace gates in the southeast and northwest is guarded by a Sima. The palace gate Sima is gorgeously dressed and has a low position. It is no wonder that Zhang You was so angry that he was still shouting after walking a long way.  Gao Enci led the two soldiers forward for a few steps, briefly cupped his hands, and said, "I am under the command of East Gate Sima Gao Enci to pay my respects to Mr. Gu." "General, are you coming to arrest me?" Gu Shenwei sat on his chair and did not get up.  .  "I don't dare. Mr. Gu is a guest here and has nothing to do with the assassination. I received the order and just want to ask a few questions." "Excuse me." "Is it okay for Mr. Gu and Yan Yue to meet here?" "Yes." "In the middle.  "Introduced by Huaping Prince Consort?" "Yes." "Mr. Gu is always accompanied by someone here." "Very good, I have nothing to ask."  He was very polite to Gu Shenwei.  "Can I leave?" "Of course, Mr. Gu can come and go freely." Gu Shenwei stood up and said as he passed by Gao Enci, "Yan Qin was poisoned." Gao Enci looked shocked and then said  : "Thank you Mr. Gu for your advice." "The assassin chose to attack outside the palace, which shows that the palace is very safe." "Of course, even a fly can't come in and out at will." Gu Shenwei left Yan Qin's outer residence,  I met Pang Jing at the entrance of the alley.  Pang Jing sat on the horse and looked at him with a smile, "I'm a little afraid of you, are you still"It was like this in Yucheng. Wherever you go, there will be dead people. I hope it won't happen to me.  " Gu Shenwei jumped on another horse, "Death often comes unexpectedly.  Pang Jing laughed twice and said, "Let's go to Dali Temple. They said that Mr. Gu can see the prisoner at any time. I hope no one will die this time."  " The two walked for a while, and Gu Shenwei asked: "The Shifang Sect has sneaked into the capital. The Yulin Army must be very nervous, right?  Pang Jing's face changed slightly, "How do I know?"  After thinking for a while, he added: "It's just a few demons, not a large army. There is no need to dispatch the Yulin Army."  " "Well, that's strange. This morning, a Habayashi captain wanted to see me because of the Shifang Sect.  Pang Jing's expression changed again, "It's also possible that His Majesty was angry, so he assigned the Yulin Army to hunt him down. Does this have anything to do with the palace assassination?"  " "I don't see it now.  " "Then don't ask me again. I have no contact with the Yulin Army.  " Gu Shenwei decided to ask, "Did you see those soldiers at the alley?  " "See you.  "Pang Jing replied coldly. "The leader is Dongmen Sima, but among the soldiers there is the Yulin Army.  " "Well, I guess, I didn't pay attention. What are the Yulin Army doing here?  This kind of thing will never happen" Pang Jing shut his mouth and refused to say another word. Gu Shenwei felt that he had found the clue that ran through all the troubles, but he regretted that he could not ask Yan Qin for more information.  What a secret (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
