Sun Xiaoxiao... no, no, no, he should be considered an old dog at this age. His whole body was twitching in pain, and he couldn't open the corners of his eyes, but he still stared at the old eunuch opposite.
"Wang Zhong... you... you too... came from the palace... you have forgotten all the rules..."
"You...you don't care about incense at all...you...don't you leave a way out for yourself?"
The old eunuch's name was Wang Zhong. When he heard the word "back way", his eyes suddenly shrank, "Back way... haha... We are all imperfect people who have a desperate life, and we still want a way out?"
"Master Beile... These eunuchs are all childless. Most of them will raise a nephew in the family as a son... There must be something wrong with this apprentice!"
"Wang Zhong! Are you still a fucking human?" Sun Xiaoxiao screamed angrily.
But it was meaningless. The young apprentice was dragged up by several soldiers and beaten like a sandbag. After only three or two punches, the child's eyes could no longer be opened!
"Don't hit me, don't hit me... I said, I said... don't hit me..."
After all, he was just a child and had never seen this battle before. He explained everything in just a few punches!
When Cheng Beile heard about Jingzhai's secret, he dropped a handful of melon seeds on the ground in surprise, "Quick! Go to the back..."
The place name Bajiao Liulijing mainly comes from a well in a small temple that was enshrined in the previous Ming Dynasty. The shops and homes in this area were actually temple properties back then.
Of course, the temple cannot be seen now, but the well in the temple has always remained!
The wellhead of the octagonal glazed well is not round but in the shape of a trigram, and the wellhead is not made of ordinary masonry but decorated with glazed tiles, but it is all in dilapidated condition!
I heard from the people around me that water could still be produced from this well during the Yongzheng period, but it gradually became clogged. When Cheng Beile looked down, there was only a thick layer of leaves and soil left, without a drop of water at all. .
"Quick...jump down and look for it!"
An officer with high martial arts skills jumped down from the wellhead. The dry well was only more than two meters deep. From the wellhead, he could clearly see what was below.
I saw the officer taking out his dagger and knocking on the surrounding bricks, and finally shouted, "I found it... this place is empty, give me the shovel..."
There was indeed something fishy at the bottom of the well. The shovel pried open a brick without much effort, revealing the dark hole inside.
"Boy! Then use the pistol to defend yourself!" Someone at the entrance of the well handed over a gun, and the officer quickly opened a hole with prying and kicking.
Holding a gun in one hand, the officer climbed in. "Ouch... there is a dark room here, and there is a person..." There was a gunshot, and screams came from the underground cave.
"Hahaha... It is indeed a den of thieves! The people here guard this well every day, there is no way they don't know anything!"
"Arrest them all and interrogate them one by one!"
"Master Beile... this place is very big. More than ten brothers can come in... They are all good things. Come down and take a look!"
Cheng Beile's attention was all focused on the Bajiao Glazed Well, and he had forgotten that there was a pair of uncles and nephews crawling on the ground in Jingzhai to heal their wounds!
There were only two soldiers and the old eunuch Wang Zhong guarding the house, but at this time the three guards were also focused on the entrance of the well in the backyard.
Sun Xiaoxiao hugged his nephew and said with tears, "My child... you shouldn't have done it! You should have died without saying anything... How can we explain this to the master!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uncle, I feel pain, I can't help but hurt..."
"Stop crying, stop crying...Uncle knows you are in pain and knows you are young, so I don't blame you..."
"But we are on the emperor's errand, and we can't let the master down no matter what... My son, our lives are in danger, but if we fail in the errand, what will happen to our families?"
"Rootless people... If rootless people want to survive, they can only take refuge in their masters. Without our masters, we have nothing!"
The old eunuch Wang Zhong looked at Sun Xiaowu with pity, "Don't blame me... everyone is their own master!"
"Wang Zhong! You old bastard! We are all eunuchs, and the roots of eunuchs lie with the emperor... Have you forgotten the rules you learned when you entered the palace?"
"Without the emperor, how can we eunuchs live? Have you even forgotten the basics? How dare you be disloyal to the emperor?"
Wang Zhong turned pale and sighed, "Each one is his own master... Each one is his own master..."
"Could it be?" Sun Xiaoxiao's face suddenly changed. "I know...I know...it turns out you have been plotting for a long time..."
"Shh... don't say it, don't say it. If you say it, everyone in your family will die..." Wang Zhong put his fingers to his lips in a silent gesture.
Eunuchs are a very closed circle, a group independent of society. They are only dependent on the imperial power. Without the imperial power, there would be no parasite.
Sun Xiaowu understood the subtext of the old eunuch Wang Zhong. He held his nephew's mouth close to his ear and said, "My child... there is nothing we can do. No one can save us..."
"Wang Zhongming knows that we are the emperor's people, but he still dares to identify us...it shows that this old guy knows very well that Prince Gong has a disobedient heart..."
"He wants to be loyal to the new emperor, so naturally he doesn't need to be loyal to the old emperor!"
"We, the father-in-law, failed in our errand, and Long Live the Lord will not bypass us when the time comes... Don't blame uncle, kid, we have to be responsible for the hundreds of lives of the entire clan back home!"
There was only a popping sound as he spoke, and the young apprentice showed a painful expression on his face, and bright red blood flowed from his heart. Sun Xiaowu actually hid a dagger and stabbed his nephew's heart.
"Child, don't blame uncle... When our father and I die... the guilt will be taken away and no one else will be implicated..."
At this point, Sun Xiaowu pulled out the dagger and stabbed himself hard in the heart.
The old eunuch Wang Zhong just watched his uncle and nephew die together indifferently. There was only a slight look of sadness on his face, but it passed away briefly.
The two soldiers who were watching the excitement turned around and said, "Oh...my lord, why is this man dead?"
"It's good to die! Just die! It's hard to live..."
Two people died in Jingzhai, but it was like two dogs died. The paradise in the Bajiao Glazed Well is so amazing!
After three officers went down in a row, Zai Cheng dared to jump down and follow him into the secret room. At this time, candles were already lit inside. The hole was about three feet long and more than one foot wide, and it was brightly lit.
Zai Cheng was stunned when he saw it. This was not a secret room, it was a treasure house!
Antiques of unknown ages are placed on wooden shelves in the corner, including incense burners, statues, calligraphy and painting scrolls, and more are camphor wood boxes that smell of camphor.
The soldiers who entered first had already pried open several openings. Under the light of the light, all the shiny silver coins inside were Mexican Eagle Ocean and Chinese dragon-patterned silver coins.
The rolls of red paper are stacked neatly, and many are broken open and scattered to fill the box!
