Several people discussed it and after returning to the house, the head eunuch said to Zhao Xiaogao:
"Brother, we are supposed to have no grievances the day before and no grudges today. We shouldn't take your life. But things have come to pass. Either you die or we die. This is an inextricable knot. There is no other way, so you just have to endure it.
Just give it a try! We won’t make your death too painful and painful, it’s just a matter of ending it with one knife.”
Only then did Zhao Xiaogao realize the seriousness of the matter, his eye circles turned red, he couldn't help but tears streaming down his face, and he cried out in despair:
"Brothers, please spare me this time. I, Zhao Xiaogao, will never publicize what happened tonight. You are my savior. My great kindness will never be forgotten. I will never be less wealthy in the future."
Thank you, everyone, please show your respect and let me go!"
The leader sighed and said: "It's not that we can't get along with you. You should understand our difficulties. It's not something ordinary people can do to sneak a man with a handle into the palace. So now we also believe that you are anything but ordinary."
But what can we do? Since the secret has been leaked, only by killing you can we brothers survive. Brother, please be more patient, we didn’t do it on purpose anyway."
After the boss said this, he did not allow Zhao Xiaogao to distinguish any more, and signaled the eunuch holding the knife to take action quickly. Zhao Xiaogao knew that his life was at stake, so he simply roared, closed his eyes, and just waited for the knife to fall.
As luck would have it, the young eunuch took Cao Huazhi and the others in a hurry, and finally entered the capital on the tenth day. He handed Cao Huazhi to Zhu Linzong and Huang Ren to arrange a place to rest for a while, and he
I'm worried about things inside. Firstly, I'm afraid something will happen. Don't let the old thief Wang Shugui take advantage of him these few days after he's gone. Secondly, according to regulations, he will be lined up in the harem every time he sets off. Don't let him
People aroused suspicion, saying how could such a big man enter the martial arts arena alone? The little eunuch Tianjiang entered the palace at dawn. At this time, the palace was still silent and silent. Suddenly he came from a room.
Is there a hoarse cry from someone? The little eunuch was very curious and wanted to see what happened. Who made such a strange noise here?
The little eunuch ordered someone to put down the sedan, and he got off the sedan and went straight to knock on the door. Impatient scoldings suddenly came from inside:
"Who doesn't want to live anymore? It's still early in the morning, why are you shouting?"
The little eunuch said patiently: "I am Pan You'an, what are you doing in there? Open the door quickly and let me go in and take a look!"
The group of people were immediately dumbfounded, and the court stopped talking. General Pan was a brave young man who had achieved great success. Pan You'an's name in the harem was no less than that of the Queen Mother and Queen. On the surface, everyone was afraid of the Queen Mother and Queen, but in fact, it was Pan You'an who they feared the most.
Eunuch Pan. More than a thousand eunuchs in the inner palace are all under his control. Whoever he wants to go can leave, and whoever he wants to stay can stay. He kills a person as easily as trampling an ant to death. Tigers don't eat people.
With such a good reputation, who in the palace is not afraid of him, Pan Youan?
A few people looked for a suitable place to hide Zhao Xiaogao first. While everyone was busy, they alarmed Zhao Xiaogao, who had closed his eyes and waited for death. Zhao Xiaogao seemed to have heard someone shouting to open the door in his dream just now. At first, he thought it was the underworld.
A ghost was calling the door! It took him a while to wake up and realize what was going on. How could he let go of this golden opportunity, so he let go of his throat and shouted:
"Help, someone is trying to kill someone here!"
The little eunuch kicked the door open, and in an instant the whole room fell to their knees. There was a person tied to the pillar. The person tied to the pillar felt like a savior when he came in. He shouted loudly without even seeing who he was.
:
"Grandpa, help me, they are going to kill me!"
The little eunuch shouted to the man lying on the ground: "Get up, tell me what's going on?"
Someone moved a chair and asked the young eunuch to sit down. The head steward was still kneeling on the ground and replied. He had a sad face and had to tell the truth:
"Your Majesty, the boys caught a spy while on patrol at night. Just when we didn't know what to do, you came by chance."
"How do you know he is a spy?" The little eunuch glanced sideways at the man tied to the pillar. He recognized who it was as soon as he entered the door.
"He has something hidden in his crotch..."
"What is hidden?" the little eunuch interrupted the leader and asked.
"There's a whip hidden!" the leader finally spat out these words.
"No way! How could there be such a good thing in the harem?" The little eunuch stood up, walked to Zhao Xiaogao, stretched out his hand to pull open his crotch, took a critical look, and said, "Why didn't I see it? You guys
Did you make a mistake?"
Most eunuchs are exquisite and can detect facial expressions. Fortunately, they don’t have tails, otherwise that thing would come in handy. The leader’s supervisory experience is more than ten years at least. Although he is in the palace, he is one level behind.
Grade, the truth is the same. How could he not understand what Pan Youan meant? Maybe they were accomplices. He heard the implication of the little eunuch, so he hurriedly said:
"Maybe I didn't look carefully, the light in the room was too dark."
"That's right!" The little eunuch taught them how to check and said, "It's easy to see under the light, so you have to touch it. Which of you has touched it?"
"No, no, none of us have touched it." More than a dozen eunuchs shook their heads like drums.
The little eunuch nodded and said: "What I said is right! You all get up and talk. Those who have a seat can find a seat and sit down. We are all brothers in the same industry. There is no need to be so polite in the future. Of course," the little eunuch changed the topic.
He said, "I can't blame you entirely for this. You patrol the night every night and work very hard, and you may neglect it once or a half. Are the brothers from the Anti-Prince's Palace? There are more than thirty of them, right?"
Woolen cloth?"
The eunuchs stood up one after another, but no one dared to sit down. The chief replied on behalf of everyone:
"Yes, Your Majesty, you have a very good memory. I think this is all your kindness! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get to the palace." The leader paused for a moment and then explained, "We brothers all came from the Anti-Prince's Palace.
There are ten people in one group, and the others are elsewhere, cooperating with the original team of old eunuchs to be responsible for maintaining security in the palace at night."
"What's his name?" The little eunuch turned and pointed at the person tied to the pillar.
"He said his name is Zhao Xiaogao." The leader replied.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that there is an eunuch named Zhao Xiaogao in Queen Wang's palace." The little eunuch said lightly.
"He also said that he was from the Queen's Palace. We didn't know each other, so this misunderstanding occurred." The boss thought that the young eunuch was a noble man who forgot things, so he deliberately pretended to be confused and never mentioned Zhao.
Xiao Gao used to be a rebel against the people in the palace.
"Since everything is fine, let's untie him." the little eunuch ordered.
The leader took action himself, and several brothers helped each other quickly loosen the shackles of Zhao Xiaogao.
