Moreover, Eunuch Qin also served the emperor and was highly regarded. Compared with eunuchs at the same level, he seemed to have a higher position and more authority.
The eunuch surnamed Sun showed that he also had a backing, and it was one of the biggest backings.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards moved to the left and right, and a fair-looking man of considerable age came in from outside.
This encounter made the eunuch named Sun feel a thump in his heart.
Why is Eunuch Zhao here?
When it comes to the chief eunuchs, Eunuch Zhao is at the forefront. Not only does he hold the jade seal, but he also serves as the governor of the Imperial City Department. The young eunuch's godfather Eunuch Qin is also second.
So the eunuch surnamed Sun quickly changed his expression and said to please: "It turns out to be Grandpa Zhao. Why are you here, Grandpa Zhao? It is true that I went out of the palace for some yellow and white things, but I wouldn't use such a large force." ?”
"Besides, my godfather has a good relationship with you. You have worked with my godfather for many years. You see..."
This is so hard that it is beginning to soften.
It's said to be soft, but it's actually a threat. After all, it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Do you really want to offend the eunuch who is only a little lower than yourself for such a "little thing"?
A great eunuch who can climb to a high position, even if his status is slightly lower, still has a lot of connections. Even if it is a palm print, he is not afraid of being retaliated and resented later?
Listening to these words, Eunuch Zhao thought of the emperor's expression before he came out.
At that time, the emperor saw the document he handed over and listened to his report. He was drinking tea, and his expression slowly turned cold. Not to mention his expression became cold, even his eyes were frozen. His appearance was different from the past. The way he looks when he is angry is different, but it makes those close to him even more frightened.
After the recollection ended, Eunuch Zhao looked at the young eunuch who was standing respectfully in front of him but obviously felt that he did not know how to understand, and suddenly smiled: "I know you, Li Guan."
"Eunuch Qin once told me that you are a well-behaved person, and you are very thoughtful. You offer antiques, engage in real estate, and sell shops. You are a person with a bright future."
These words made the eunuch named Sun feel a little relieved.
"Normally it's okay to let you go, but if something like this happens to you, I want to see if your Eunuch Qin still dares to protect you."
As he spoke, seeing the eunuch suddenly raise his head, showing disbelief and not allowing any reaction, a guard stepped forward, grabbed one of the eunuch's hands surnamed Sun, opened the hand that was holding the banknotes and paper, and snatched them away. He came over and immediately presented it to Eunuch Zhao.
Eunuch Zhao glanced at a few banknotes, but it was the piece of paper that made Zhao's smile fade and he looked coldly at the eunuch surnamed Sun.
"Take it down!" With a sharp shout, the guard immediately went up and held down the still struggling eunuch Sun.
"Take him back to the palace and let the emperor handle it!"
After saying that, Eunuch Zhao carefully put the banknotes and notes into a box, held them specially in his hands, and walked out with the people being escorted out.
This thing is physical evidence, so it must be kept properly.
"You guys...uh huh..." The young eunuch who still wanted to say something was roughly blocked with a piece of rag, his whole body was tied up, and he walked staggeringly as he was pushed and pushed out.
As soon as I walked downstairs, I found a man who was tied up and kneeling in the lobby of the inn. His face was covered with blood. Looking at his red and swollen face, he was afraid that all his teeth had been pulled out. It was a means of extracting a confession. I don’t know how I managed to extract a confession without making him scream.
As he got closer, the young eunuch recognized that the man who was beaten half to death was the steward who had just sent him to the door of the inn and bribed him.
But now, no matter how stupid the eunuch is, he can realize that what brought him to this situation is not just a trivial matter of accepting bribes. There is something big involved!
Thinking of the paper he had just pulled out of the banknote, it was hard for him not to wonder if it was because of that piece of paper that he was treated like this!
What an injustice! What an injustice! Feeling regretful in his heart, the eunuch surnamed Sun was struggling in pain and wanted to shout his injustice. He only heard a bang and a hard kick. He almost choked and heard a sharp scolding: "Be honest!"
Just like dragging a dead dog, the eunuch surnamed Sun and the briber were dragged onto the bullock cart.
Almost at the same time that the incident happened in the inn, all the lights in the surrounding houses were turned on, but when they saw the guards dragging people onto the bullock carts, they hurriedly extinguished them. Obviously, people nearby realized that something was wrong and were afraid of causing trouble.
In the capital, who dares to watch this excitement?
Aren't you afraid of harming yourself?
Chess Hall General Administration·Morning
The capital city changed dramatically overnight, but most people didn't know it. Ye Buhui listened to the footsteps of the guide and himself, and also listened to his own heartbeat. His original nervousness gradually subsided, and when he finally entered the hall, he was calm.
The hall was very large, with many people sitting around it, all spectators, many of whom were defeated chess players. There were also an audience of one to two hundred people, who probably liked playing chess, so they came to watch the fun.
Although it accommodates hundreds of people, the hall still looks spacious. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge chessboard, made of white jade, like a treasure, and has the unique fluorescence of jade under the light.
Ye Buhui walked straight over and knelt down in front of the big chessboard in the middle. Opposite her, sitting was the previous chess master, a middle-aged man in his forties.
This man's goatee is slightly raised, his expression is calm, and his eyebrows are indifferent. He gives the impression that he is like a master who has seen through the world of mortals.
In fact, this is also true. As Ye Buhui's challenger, his opponent is the previous chess master, and the chess master is indeed a grandmaster in the eyes of chess masters.
In contrast, Ye Buhui's temperament is more worldly. If she hadn't won a series of victories not long ago, the onlookers would not think that she had any chance of winning.
"This Miss Ye has superb chess skills. This competition will be very exciting." Someone murmured.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is the wife of the Duke." Someone quickly corrected her. Don't talk nonsense without knowing the situation and offend others.
"Mrs. Dai Guo Gong also participated in the chess match?" Someone was shocked and said: "So what if she is Dai Guo Gong, she will not be able to interfere with the chess master."
This actually belongs to those who have some confidence in Ye Buhui, but even this group of people dare not say that Ye Buhui will definitely win.
After all, sitting across from Ye Buhui is Mr. Wu Qinian, who has been crowned the chess master for two consecutive years.
"With another successful victory this time, Mr. Wu will have won the title of chess master for three consecutive terms, and he will be awarded the title of lifelong chess master."
You must know that there is a difference between a chess master and a chess master. The difference between a one-term chess master and a person who has won the title of lifelong chess master for three consecutive terms is like the difference between a Jinshi and a fellow Jinshi.
Having only been awarded the title of Chess Saint for one term is certainly respected and admired by others, but compared with a lifelong Chess Saint, it is not enough.
Mr. Wu has won the title of Chess Saint twice. This not only proves his strength, but also proves that he will be more attentive in this competition.
Although Ye Buhui was a dark horse and fought all the way to the final showdown, she was still only a teenager and a young woman. In the eyes of some people, she was weaker.
