Chapter 41 The power of the eunuch
"Yao Baobao did it."
Chen Shou had just arrived at Yue Xiang's mansion and Yue Xiang decided as soon as he talked about the matter.
His old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and there was no problem that Chen Shou was worried about not being willing to take action. Even if he didn't just disgust Yao Baobao for Chen Shou, he would be very happy.
"Let's go to Zhaozhu to take a look."
Chen Shou lowered his voice and asked, "Master, will it be better to save people like this..."
Yue Xiang laughed and said, "You haven't figured it out yet. The Zhao Prison in Beishi is not something that can be arrested just by arresting people. Yao Baobao can control other places, but Zhao Prison is under our jurisdiction."
Speaking of this, his eyes turned cold, "A few of us old people don't fight or rob. Some people in Zhaozhuo secretly cast a new master. They locked up there and were stabbed at the critical moment, and they could bite our family back. It's such a toxic idea."
Chen Shou was speechless for a while. You old guy is too worried. Could it be that you are just retired and plotted against someone in your lair, and you can even know nothing.
When they arrived at the gate of Zhaozhu, Yue Xiang came in, the people who were on duty immediately stood up.
"I've met the general manager."
Yue Xiang said "um" from his nostrils, saying hello, and kept walking forward.
A man was anxious and hurried forward, and asked with a flattering smile: "Where are you going?"
"What's wrong? Zhang Xiong, can we report to you wherever we go?"
"I dare not," Zhang Xiong still smiled, "but no matter how noble you are, if you don't have a guide in front of you, you may lose your dignity."
Yue Xiang had already counted it, and he sneered: "Zhang Xiong, our family bought a dog from the market back then. I like this beast, loyal minister, and asked him to take care of our family. A few days ago, he helped an outsider bite our family, guess what..."
Zhang Xiong's face changed drastically, his legs became weak, and he fell to the ground: "Master General, please spare me."
Before he finished speaking, several people came out from behind Yue Xiang and stabbed him to death with one knife.
Several Zhaozhuozi were shaking like sieves, robbing the ground with their heads. Yue Xiang said as he walked: "Clean the ground."
This eunuch is so majestic.
In fact, Chen Shou didn't know that not every eunuch who had been cut can be called a eunuch. Most people call eunuchs the eunuchs in the palace, but many eunuchs will never get to the position of "eunuchs" for their entire lives. Starting from being a choreographer, being a servant, following, serving as a long time, serving as an imperial guard, supervising chief, and a few supervisors. Going further up, is the pinnacle of the "eunuch" in the career of an eunuch. Of course, even if you become a eunuch, you will be divided into three or six levels.
For example, Yue Xiang and Yao Baobao are top eunuchs. It is more difficult for ordinary eunuchs to get to this point than for scholars to become the six ministers.
Chen Shou was stunned. Seeing him like this, a funny look flashed in his eyes. The reason why he cleaned up the traitor so quickly was to teach him a lesson in front of this kid.
If you haven't seen a dead person before, how can you fight with people in the capital?
However, Chen Shou quickly calmed down, and he was also very surprised. He just saw a murder scene with his own eyes, but he didn't have any trouble... Maybe I was born a bad person. When Chen Shou laughed at himself, he didn't notice Yue Xiang behind him and kept looking at him.
Seeing that Chen Shou's legs were neither weak nor trembling, and his walking posture was the same as before, the old eunuch nodded secretly.
Cuxin's soap boots stepped on the dark and damp ground, making sounds. Chen Shou was extremely dissatisfied with the dark and humid environment around him. The son of the border general, who had not committed any crime, dared to be detained in such a place?
"The eldest son of the General's Mansion is imprisoned here?" Chen Shou asked tentatively.
Yue Xiang, who was walking behind, sneered and said, "Since the eunuch Bingbi replaced him and surrendered to the civil servants of the foreign court, there are no ones they dare not do. The emperor...ah."
Chen Shou thought to himself that there is nothing wrong with saying this. If the inner and outer courts unite, the imperial power can be undermined.
In the later generations, when Wanli faced Zhang Juzheng and Feng Baoyi's cooperation, Emperor Wanli was scolded twice in frustration.
After rescuing Li Jin himself, you should keep a low profile and spend a few years here, return to Xiliang to marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of your life. You must not be involved too deeply.
Hope is always beautiful. Yue Xiang was behind him, looking at Chen Shou's back and began to think about it.
This time, the matter of taking him to ruin Yao Baobao made the two of them conflict, and his four old brothers had a place to use their skills.
Chen Shou is so young that he supports him and Yao Baobao to fight. If he wins the battle, he will also give four brothers to the end and protect everyone's nephews.
As for this kid's current low-level official position, that's too simple. The four major players in Beisi can't support a young man?
I didn't know how many turns I turned forward, but it was already dark and I finally arrived at a cell with a foul smell.
There was a figure inside, with a disheveled face, and the skylight of the cell was three feet above his head. A faint sunlight shone down from the skylight and was covering him.
The people around him automatically gave up this only light source and hid in the corner listlessly.
Hearing the footsteps, no one moved. Until Chen Shou stepped forward, he asked with a little doubt: "Big Young Master?"
When he heard that it was Xiliang accent, the people in the prison were immediately excited and rolled and crawled to the door.
"Has the old coach sent someone to save us?"
"So that's okay for the old handsome guy?"
"That's great, it seems nothing happened in Xiliang."
Li Jin also stood up, walked to the cell, and asked through the wood: "What's the war in Hengshan? What about my father?"
Chen Shou glanced at it and couldn't help but admire it in his heart. From Li Wei to Li Xin to Li Jin now, none of them are mediocre people who are afraid of life and death.
After being locked in such a place for more than a month, the first thing he said was to ask about the war in the Northwest.
"Don't worry, the eldest son, the old coach won the victory and returned."
Yue Xiang coughed lightly and said, "I'll tell you, don't talk about the past here. It will be difficult to deal with someone named Yao if you don't leave."
Everyone in Xiliang surrounded Li Jin and walked out of Zhaozhu.
As soon as I left the door, I held my sleeves to block the sun. I was in the dark for a long time and could blind my eyes when I first came out.
After leaving Zhao Prison, Chen Shou had to look at the eldest son of the General's Mansion carefully. When he saw the sunlight, his butt stood up, which was very cunning.
After Master Li adapted, he bowed to the officials who accompanied him to the capital behind him, "Let you all suffer with me."
The officials in the northwest were so grateful that the atmosphere was a little tragic. Even Chen Shou was a little moved. He suffered such great pain, without complaining or scolding. This kid looked like he was a big deal.
