Chapter Thirty-Eight: Man-made Daozu
Grandma! You really want to inflict a crime, so why bother! With just a few words, Teng Xiang accused himself of the crime of "killing the Nine Tribes"! Although he doesn't have any "Nine Tribes" in this life, I hope
Don’t get involved with Xiang Zhong!
Yang Ning was willing to fight anyway, so he didn't bother to explain. He also knew that Teng Xiang would definitely not let him go after he beat Manager Jia so badly.
"Come here! Tie up this slave dog and send it to the Discipline Department. He, a little servant in the royal garden, will never have the courage to assassinate the princess. There must be someone behind it, and he must be interrogated properly!"
Teng Xiang ordered his eunuchs.
Teng Xiang wants to use this incident to frame himself!
When Yang Ning heard what Teng Xiang said, he immediately reacted. If he wanted to put the blame on his opponent, of course he should put the blame on his opponent. But as Teng Xiang was the head of the inner palace, the master behind him was the leader of the eunuchs in the world - the Chief of Ceremony.
Eunuch Meng Tong, does such a force have any rivals?
Who does Teng Xiang want to blame?
"slow!"
A loud voice sounded, and it was the guard commander named Mou who spoke.
"Mr. Teng, this matter is of great importance. Since I am responsible for the security of the palace, this young eunuch should be brought back for interrogation by me!"
"Commander Mou, although you imperial guards are responsible for the security of the palace, the perpetrators are incarcerated. We think it is better for the Discipline Department to interrogate them, so we won't bother Commander Mou!" Teng Xiang smiled.
I'm honest, but I cursed in my heart: Guard dog, you are really active now. Why didn't you see this positive energy just now?
"Hmph! Eunuch Teng, since you said that this matter involves the assassination of Princess Yongning, it is a serious crime of rebellion. As the palace guards, the brothers naturally have to investigate clearly. As for the Discipline Department, they are not very good at investigating such things.
, I won’t bother them anymore!” the guard commander surnamed Mou said coldly, and the implication was obvious: the Discipline Department only takes care of the trivial matters of the eunuchs, but it does not deal with such major matters related to rebellion at all.
Able to check.
The Discipline Department is the inner eunuch's yamen responsible for the punishment of eunuchs in the inner palace. It is directly under the jurisdiction of Teng Xiang. The guard commander named Mou said this, which clearly means "pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man"!
Teng Xiang's donkey face sank, "Commander Mou, although our Discipline Department is not talented, it is more than enough to judge him as a young slave. You just need to guard the palace gate for the emperor. It is unavoidable to interfere in the affairs of the eunuchs."
It’s a little bit of a ‘surrender’!”
This Teng Xiang was not an easy man, so he immediately fought back. The implication was: What's so great about you guards? At best, they are just the emperor's "watchdogs". You can just "keep an eye on the door" and nothing else.
Stay away!
When the guard commander surnamed Mou heard this, his red face suddenly turned even redder. Several of his guards in royal robes also had angry faces.
"Damn it! Teng Xiang, don't be so shameless. What's so great about a castrate like you? I'm telling you, I'm going to decide this guy today!"
The commander surnamed Mou seemed to have a great interest in Yang Ning, and he even wanted to take Yang Ning away even if he fell out with Teng Xiang.
Yang Ning's head was still a little dizzy at this time, but his heart was sober. Hearing that the two sides were quarreling over him, he couldn't help but feel happy. Although he didn't understand why the person named Mou insisted on competing with Teng Xiang for himself, but
Listening to the conversation between the two parties, it seems that the guard group headed by Mou and Teng Xiang's eunuch group were not getting along well with each other!
Then Yang Ning felt a little depressed again: Damn! I am really a "fish on the chopping board" at the moment, letting others slaughter me, and let others snatch me away! How sad!
With the word "castrate", Teng Xiang was stepped on. He was so angry that he jumped on his toes and said: "Moutai, you, how dare you scold our family like this... Our family will definitely report it to Eunuch Meng.
Commander Liu will tell you to sue you!"
It turns out that the red-faced guard commander is called "Moutai", so Commander Liu must be Mou Tai's boss!
"Hmph! I'm afraid of you, you idiot. Brothers, take him away!" Mou Tai was very disdainful of Teng Xiang's threat, and waved his hand to signal his men to take Yang Ning away.
It's fine that Mou Tai didn't take the palace manager seriously, but he didn't care much about Meng Tong, the eunuch and eunuch. He must have a strong backing! Yang Ning thought to himself.
Although Teng Xiang said something cruel, facing a tall and powerful guard, he could only watch as Mou Tai and others took Yang Ning away.
Just as Mou Tai and others turned around, another group of people hurriedly walked over from a distance. When Teng Xiang saw the leader of this group of people, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, but Mou Tai frowned.
The group of people who came were all eunuchs. The leader of the eunuch wore a brand-new scarlet python robe, but he was short and fat, with a prominent chest and a protruding belly, small eyes and a big mouth. His face was full of fat and he had a very rosy nose.
It's so conspicuous, this kind of majestic appearance is really unflattering!
There is such an ugly eunuch in the palace. If there is a "ugly election" among the eunuchs, if the eunuch with the rosy nose is recognized as the second, I am afraid no one will dare to recognize the first. Yang Ning thought to himself.
"Eunuch Meng, why are you here?" When Teng Xiang saw the eunuch with a rosy nose, his cold and gloomy expression changed and he came forward with a flattering look on his face.
Yang Ning couldn't help but sweat in her heart: It turned out that this ugly eunuch with a rosy nose turned out to be Meng Tong, the most powerful eunuch in the world.
"Love", this God is really fair!
"Moutai has met Eunuch Meng!" Although Mou Tai was reluctant, he had to pay homage to the most powerful eunuch in the world.
"Why are so many people gathered here? I wonder if Princess Yongning is ill and needs to rest? Our family just went to greet the princess. When we came out from a distance, we saw a lot of noise here. That's how you took it.
A slave?" This Meng Tong was indeed the most powerful eunuch with great power. He taught everyone present a lesson as soon as he came up.
Teng Xiang cast a sinister glance at Mou Tai before turning to Meng Tongtong: "Eunuch, what's going on is that Manager Jia of Funing Palace caught a young eunuch who wanted to assassinate the princess. His subordinates wanted to kill the young eunuch.
He was brought back to the Department of Discipline for interrogation, but Commander Mou suddenly wanted to snatch the little eunuch away, and he didn’t know what the purpose was!”
After saying that, Teng Xiang walked forward again, bowed his head and whispered a few words in Meng Tong's ear, and Meng Tong's little eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh? Someone actually wants to assassinate our beautiful and kind-hearted Princess Yongning. This is simply lawless. Manager Teng, this matter must be interrogated carefully and get to the bottom of it!" Meng Tong first gave Teng Xiang some "leadership" instructions.
Then he turned to Mou Tai and said: "Commander Mou, since we think this matter is among the eunuchs, let the Discipline Department handle it!"
"Can……!"
Just as Mou Tai was about to argue, Meng Tong's face turned cold and he said calmly: "Commander Mou, this matter is not trivial. We think you don't need to argue anymore. Commander Liu, we will fight it."
Hello!"
"All right!"
Mou Tai hesitated for a while before reluctantly agreeing.
Mou Tai couldn't argue anymore. He didn't have to look down on Teng Xiang, but if he had a falling out with Meng Tong, the implications would be huge. Although he had something to rely on, as a secretary, Meng Tong
The eunuch in charge of the ceremonial eunuch was extremely powerful, and at the same time he was deeply favored by the emperor, so he was not something he could offend.
Teng Xiang glanced at Mou Tai proudly and waved his hand to signal his eunuchs to take Yang Ning away.
Mou Tai first turned around and walked to Yang Ning, and said in an apologetic low voice: "Little eunuch, Mou can't save you, so you can take care of yourself!"
Yang Ning glanced at Mou Tai in surprise. He didn't expect that Mou Tai and Teng Xiang were robbing him simply to save his life. He originally thought that Mou Tai had the same purpose as Teng Xiang and was trying to marry him.
Harm others.
But if Mou Tai didn't have this purpose, then why did he go to such lengths to save a little eunuch he had never met before?
"Commander Mou, now that I've beaten that 'old dog', I no longer care about life and death, but I still want to thank you for your kindness!"
Mou Tai said with some regret: "You are a free and easy little eunuch, but it's a pity!"
Several young eunuchs came forward and tied up Yang Ning with ropes in their hands.
Yang Ning sighed in his heart: I am afraid that this time I will be in trouble! Forget it, I will die early and be reincarnated!
"Princess Yongning has arrived!"
At this moment, a eunuch's unique shout reminded me that a soft sedan with bright yellow beads and jade carried by four eunuchs came from a distance, followed by the palace maid Ying'er and several palace maids and eunuchs, and soon they came closer.
Princess Yongning, who was still ill, came out of the palace. It seemed that she knew something was wrong with her and wanted to save her. There was hope for her again!
