Chapter 63: The Rootless Man

When they saw the group of people behind Li Huan, Chen Yao and Ma Ming just looked at it twice and said to Li Huan: "Sir, I don't know what your order is for calling us!"

Li Huan pointed at the palace maids behind him, and the eunuch said: "These people have been implicated for some things. Your Majesty is merciful and let them out of the palace. Please count their home addresses. Are there any relatives at home who can be sent home?"

It must be sent back.”

After handing these people over to Chen Yao and Ma Ming, Li Huan looked at the sky and returned to his residence as it was approaching evening.

Li Huan still lives in that small courtyard. Although he has suddenly been promoted, Li Huan really has no intention of changing his residence. After all, this place is quite secluded, but it is also a good place.

Back at his residence, Forsythia had already prepared the meal. He simply washed the hands, and then Li Huan invited Forsythia to eat with him.

After eating, Li Huan entered the side room. There was a stack of files on the desk. These files were all about the personnel under Jinyiwei. It was not easy to select three thousand people from Jinyiwei to join the bodyguard army.

Easy things.

Simple information is only one aspect. Even if it is selected, it must be investigated and reviewed by Jin Yiwei to ensure that the other party's family background is innocent and there is no bad deeds before it can be finally determined. Therefore, Li Huan is not only busy with this matter in the Yamen these days.

You have to take time to do it even in the evening, otherwise it may not be possible to select candidates for more than half a month.

Time passed little by little, and night gradually fell, and candles were lit in Li Huan's side room.

Suddenly Li Huan raised his brows and slowly put down the brush in his hand. There was a faint sound of footsteps approaching from far away, obviously heading towards his residence.

The reason why he was so sure was because his family lived in this alley. Although the visitor had just arrived at the entrance of the alley, Li Huan could hear clearly with his amazing hearing.

Sure enough, within a dozen breaths, the footsteps became clearer and clearer, and then a knock on the door was heard.

With a creak, Li Huan opened the door and came out: "Who is it?"

Immediately, Chen Yao's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, my subordinate Chen Yao has something to ask for."

Walking to the door, Li Huan opened the door and saw Chen Yao standing respectfully at the door.

Seeing Li Huan opening the door, Chen Yao hurriedly saluted and said: "My subordinates came to see you at this time, but they disturbed your rest. Please forgive me."

Li Huan smiled and said: "It's just dark today. I haven't rested yet. But if you come here at this time, could there be something unexpected in the Yamen?"

Chen Yao said hesitantly: "Didn't your lord bring back some palace ladies and eunuchs from the palace this afternoon?"

Li Huan nodded, looked at Chen Yao and said, "What's wrong? Do you think there's something wrong with those people?"

At that time, Dongchangchang stallion Ma Yongcheng personally proved that those palace maids and eunuchs were actually innocent people. Otherwise, no matter how merciful he was, he would not have saved a group of problematic people from the palace.

Chen Yao quickly shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. There is no problem with the identity of those people. My subordinates have asked them one by one. They all have innocent family backgrounds and there is no involvement."

Li Huan said with some confusion: "Then why did you come to see me?"

Chen Yao took a deep breath and said: "I don't know what to say at the moment. If there is nothing wrong, sir, please go down with me and take a look!"

Li Huan looked at Chen Yao's appearance. Needless to say, there must be something that was embarrassing him, so he came to invite him.

"Let's go, look mysterious, I'll let you take a look."

Soon, under the guidance of Chen Yao, Li Huan came to a side courtyard, which belonged to the Jinyiwei Yamen. It was normal for Chen Yao to place the palace maids and eunuchs in this side courtyard.

When Li Huan walked into the side courtyard, he could see figures one after another through the firelight. These people were the palace maids and eunuchs who were rescued by Li Huan not long ago.

At this moment, these eunuchs and maids also heard the noise. When they saw Li Huan walking in, they all bowed to Li Huan and kowtowed to Li Huan.

"grown ups!"

"My benefactor..."

Li Huan stepped forward and said: "Everyone, please get up quickly, Li can't bear it!"

After a while, it took a while for all the maids and eunuchs to stand up. Li Huan glanced at these eunuchs and maids, and then his eyes fell on Chen Yao and Ma Ming.

Ma Ming whispered: "Sir, we have already asked about their place of origin. Some of those who are willing to return to their hometowns will be sent home through our Jinyiwei channels, but some people insist on seeing you, sir."

As Ma Ming pointed to some of them, Li Huan just discovered that these palace ladies and eunuchs were faintly divided into two parts. One part had more than a dozen palace ladies, but there was no eunuch, and the other part only had two palace ladies.

, the rest are all eunuchs.

And what Ma Ming was referring to was that almost all of them were young eunuchs. Needless to say, these were the people who wanted to see him.

Taking a few steps forward, Li Huan looked at these people and said: "I heard that you want to see me, and now I am here. If you have anything to say, just say it to me. Since I promised your majesty to accommodate you well,

Then I won’t break my promise.”

Several slightly tall little eunuchs looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward and said with a bit of awe and gratitude: "Sir, I am a rootless person. Even if I go home, I will not be accepted by my family.

When my family chose to send us to the palace, they considered us already dead. It can be said that after we leave the palace, we will be like lonely ghosts with no place to live."

Li Huan was silent for a while. In this era, it is absolutely impossible for these young eunuchs to be tolerated by their families. If they really return to their hometown, they may die of depression amid the criticism of their neighbors. Although it is a bit cruel, this is the fact.

The little eunuch plucked up the courage, knelt down with a thud, and then kowtowed heavily: "Your mercy, please allow me to take you in. Even if we work for you, even if it means we die, we will never do it."

Complain."

Facing Li Huan who pulled them back from the gate of hell, these people's trust, dependence and gratitude to Li Huan can be imagined. According to these people's simple outlook on life, since Li Huan saved their lives

, then their lives belong to Li Huan.

The remaining young eunuchs and the two young palace maids also prostrated themselves on the ground. While kowtowing, they cried and begged, asking Li Huan to take them in.
