In the middle of the night, the wind is cold and the moon is miserable.
The originally quiet Prince Huai's Mansion suddenly became noisy. Soldiers and horses came from unknown sources, led by palace officials, to search the houses one by one and drive out all the palace maids and eunuchs.
It's a cold spring night and the wind is biting.
The thinly dressed palace people were frightened, frightened, and uneasy. Looking at the wolf-like soldiers and their weapons, they couldn't help but cry secretly out of fear.
In the palace, on the roads leading to various gardens and open spaces and the racecourse, the cries of the palace ladies and eunuchs were heard. They didn't know where they were biting, and they didn't know what happened. If you walked a little slower, the whips in the hands of the soldiers would
It fell on them mercilessly.
When they saw clearly that the people escorting them in front were actually groups of guards in flying fish uniforms, their crying reached its peak.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Guards have been like the sword in the hand of the emperor. They have committed murders without calculation and committed numerous atrocities. Their notoriety has made even children cry. According to legend, if they fall into their hands, life would be worse than death.
Howling?
Under the light of several torches, a terrifying-looking captain in Jinyi shouted coldly, there are assassins sneaking into the palace, and we, the Jinyi Guards, need to screen them out. If nothing is wrong, we will naturally let you go!
When they heard that assassins had sneaked in, the team became even more frightened and cried louder.
Swish, there was a sound of drawing a knife, the light of the knife shone in the firelight, and the crowd was suddenly silent again.
If you cry again, grandpa will chop you up right now! Captain Jinyi continues to shout, everyone just stay there, whoever is called will come over and answer!
Gong'e was imprisoned in the palace garden, where she became miserable and miserable.
The eunuch was placed in the horse farm, and everyone looked around in fear.
Gradually, they discovered that the ones guarding them were not the royal guards, but the guards of the royal palace, and their uneasy hearts gradually calmed down. Hundreds of people gathered together in a group, whispering.
Next to the racecourse, in a three-story building, Zhu Yunwen looked out the window with a cold face, his expression shrouded in the night, making it difficult to see clearly.
Next to him, a handsome little eunuch of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing the attire of an eighth-grade eunuch, silently lowered his head and looked at the tips of his boots.
Suddenly, sonorous footsteps were heard from the attic stairs. The little eunuch turned around in shock, and then immediately lowered his head in horror.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei, He Guangyi, came up with several Jin Yiwei, stood at the top of the stairs, and saluted, "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yunzhen's face hidden in the darkness twitched a few times inadvertently, but he did not turn around and say, "What's the matter? So many slaves are not enough, even the ones around me have to be called?" He gritted his teeth and said, "Do you want me to take care of you?"
The people around the princess also let you take it?
Although it was a plan, He Guangyi went too far. Thousands of slaves and maids in the palace were found. I heard that even the maid of Prince Huai was found.
Your Majesty, you also know that this matter is of great importance! He Guangyi’s face is expressionless, and the minister also has good intentions. If this heartache is not cured, there will be no peace in Prince Huai’s palace!
Haha! Zhu Yunwen sneered twice, who did this king provoke? Hey! After saying that, he shook his head, with a bitter look on his face, and said to the eunuch beside him, Shuangxi, go with them!
The little eunuch named Shuangxi was stunned, his body shook unnaturally twice, and he whispered, yes!
He bowed his head and stepped back, and when he slowly backed away, he heard Zhu Yunwen say again, "Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal! As long as I am here, you can go with peace of mind!"
Shuangxi moved his face slightly, kowtowed and said, "This slave knows!"
Then, Zhu Yunwen turned his head and looked out the window.
Among the eunuchs who were crowded together, several were pulled out by the royal guards and dragged away. Suddenly, there was another commotion among the eunuchs.
Didn't you say it was just a question? Doesn't the Zajia look like this?
Really? How can there be an assassin in such a good person?
If you don't catch an assassin, how can you show off your prestige to us miserable people?
Hey, look, it looks like Father-in-law Double Happiness!
A eunuch with sharp eyes pointed forward and said loudly.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was indeed King Huai Qiantai's personal companion. Eunuch Shuangxi was sandwiched between several royal guards and pushed into the crowd.
Father Shuangxi, why are you here?
Father-in-law, come this way, I'll help you block the wind!
Who is wearing a big coat? Take it off, father-in-law!
Although Shuangxi is a young man, he has a high status in the palace, so everyone is fawning over him.
Okay, okay! What does Shuangxi look like with a sullen face and a mess? This is what the Za family teaches you on weekdays. Sit down and don't make any noise or make others laugh!
Everyone became quiet again, and a little leader came over, father-in-law, are you here? Is there an assassin? No one can doubt you?
Shuangxi was surrounded by a group of eunuchs. He looked around and whispered, there was an assassin. There was a secretary in the front yard who was killed!
Ah! There was a sound of gasping all around.
It would be easier to tell if we were on the sidelines, but as the emperor's grandson is now at our palace, how can we not check? Shuangxi sighed, everyone just wait patiently. In fact, it's nothing, just asking. Dear lords of Jinyiwei,
It’s also routine!
After hearing what he said, the crowd became much calmer.
If you don’t do bad things and don’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door, what are you afraid of?
At this time, a school captain in Jinyi came over with a sullen face. Two people behind him threw a eunuch into the crowd, then turned around with fierce eyes and randomly named a few people. These few were taken away for questioning!
The people who were called were so frightened that the people around them suddenly filled up the space. No one dared to be near them, and no one was afraid of being implicated.
Xiaowuzi, why did you come back by yourself? Where is the person who was called with you? Someone asked the eunuch who had just returned.
The eunuch named Xiao Wuzi was not very old. His face was bruised and bruised, as if he had been beaten. He grinned and cried softly. He didn't even know that he was arrested. He was not even questioned. He was beaten when he came up.
!
Ah! The surroundings immediately became noisy again. The Jin Yiwei were too domineering. After all, we are also members of the palace and slaves of the prince. How dare they!
Is there anything they don't dare to do? Xiaowuzi looked around, climbed up to Shuangxi, and cried, father-in-law, I just heard what those Jin Yiwei said. The people above them said that interrogation is just for show, so many people are going to be interrogated.
When will we go? Wait for a while while the emperor's grandson and the prince are sleeping, and he will kill us all...
Say it quickly! Shuangxi is not in a hurry, the people next to you are.
We are all going to be killed! Xiao Wuzi cried, they also said that there are so many slaves in the world. If there is an assassin, he must be killed without mercy!
God!
Isn't this an indiscriminate killing of innocent people?
The Zajia are innocent, why should they be arrested?
Everyone started to curse, and the sound was overwhelming.
What are you making a noise about? Everyone, be quiet! A man in military attache uniforms came over and yelled at you, please be honest. How many of your heads have you disturbed His Royal Highness?
When the eunuchs saw that this man was not a royal guard, but the young leader of the palace guard, they were not afraid at all. Some bowed their hands, while others cursed.
shut up!
Shuangxi shouted loudly, stood up in the crowd, and asked, "Does this old man know the Zajia family?"
Father-in-law! The military attache responded politely. Who doesn’t recognize the companions around King Huai?
Now that you recognize the Zajia family, what should I do if you can trouble me to give you an accurate answer? Shuangxi smiled, I must also know the character of the Zajia family, and I will definitely not treat you badly in the future!
I don’t dare to take it! The military attache waved his hand and said, nothing happened, I’m just waiting to be questioned. Father-in-law, please rest assured and wait for a while! After saying that, he smiled and said, you are the person next to Prince Chitose, who dares to do anything to you?
After saying that, the military attache turned around and left.
As for Shuangxi, his face was even uglier.
Father-in-law, what's wrong with you? The leader of the eunuchs was beside him and he asked again.
Shuangxi did not speak, but gave the other party a wink.
The eunuchs in the palace are all human sperm, and they immediately understood that they should not make any noise. The military attache also said, even if you ask questions, don't think too much!
Having said that, several leading eunuchs from the palace had quietly approached Shuangxi.
In the dark night, some eyes were particularly bright.
Shuangxi lowered his voice, afraid it was true!
Hmm! Several people were so excited that they almost screamed.
If you want to ask questions, you won't have to call us all out. Also, don't you think it's strange that our prince has not shown up from the beginning to the end? Didn't you listen to what the military attache said just now? The Za family are close to the prince, so they may be fine.
But you may not survive tonight!
Father-in-law, I am very loyal to you. Please save me!
How could Jinyiwei kill innocent people indiscriminately!
Shut up! Shuangxi scolded, are we people telling fortunes? Is there a young eunuch who died in the Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid you don't know that in the capital, the people around the prince angered the emperor's grandson, and the old prince became angry.
Killed more than a thousand people!
But today, when the emperor's grandson was coming, an assassin caused an assassination and killed someone!
What can we do?
What does the assassination have to do with us?
We all serve the master, how can we be like assassins?
Around him, several eunuchs began to cry softly.
Don't cry, you're useless! Shuangxi scolded, Jin Yiwei just suspected that the assassin was among us and didn't bother to ask, so he simply came to eradicate the weeds and not let go of the wrong ones!
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and said, "You can't just sit back and wait for death!"
The eyes of the eunuch leaders around him lit up.
Come here with your ears! After Shuangxi finished speaking, there were a few more heads around him.
The night wind blew the bonfire, making the night extremely long.
The eunuchs sitting on the open ground had bright eyes. Eunuchs are a contradictory group. If they have the same enemy, they will be particularly united and trust their own people.
The words of Double Happiness reached their ears through word of mouth.
Suddenly, several eunuchs stood up and rushed towards the guards guarding them.
Sit down, who asked you to get up?
Shit!
go back!
The whole family is going to die, why don't you give up?
Go back and die!
Brothers, rush over and find a way out!
In an instant, the guards on guard were overwhelmed by hundreds of eunuchs. In the palace, countless guards and guards in royal robes swarmed over to support with swords drawn.
But among these eunuchs, a figure ran wildly in another direction.
