On duty as palace supervisor.
Two rows of servants were waiting at the door, all wearing the lowest-grade gray clothes.
Everyone has already inquired about it. The new admiral has not yet received his official robe. When the time comes, he will see you dressed so beautifully and will feel jealous. He will use it to show his authority even if he has no choice.
The spring breeze in March was no longer cold, but the waiter who was waiting felt chilly in his heart.
When a new official takes office, there must be someone who has sex with him. Maybe he is not pleasing to the eye, or maybe his right foot enters the door first, and then he is killed or falls into a well.
It's like a random draw, and the winner will die.
Psychological fear is more torturous than torture!
Three poles in the sun.
No matter how much the waiting chamberlain cursed in his heart, he did not show any anxiety on the surface. Instead, he glanced left and right at his colleagues, and whoever showed dissatisfaction would turn around and make a report.
If your colleague dies, then you don’t have to draw lots!
Not yet.
The sound of footsteps came, and the servants followed the sound.
A dozen figures came towards the palace supervisor, headed by the new admiral Eunuch Yi, and the others were also familiar, Eunuch Wen who had the study, Eunuch Shen who was in charge of the kitchen, Eunuch Yu who was in charge of the castration...
The old man on duty was one or two generations older than the chamberlain at the door.
On weekdays, these old eunuchs are not conspicuous and do not fight for power. The successive admirals will not reuse them, but promote their young godsons.
Zhou Yi spoke to Eunuch Wen in a low voice, saying "Sir" every time he spoke, making the old eunuch Jie Jie laugh strangely.
Without even looking at the chamberlains, he led a group of old guys directly into the palace guard.
The decorations in the palace are no different from those two years ago. Right in front is the seat of the former godfather, Eunuch Xu, who was later taken over by Eunuch Zheng. A few days ago, he was suspected of corruption and was demoted to guard the tomb of the late emperor!
Zhou Yi stood ten steps in front of the seat. According to his past habits, he should now bend down and make a kneeling gesture.
Saying auspicious words, he quickened his steps a few steps, making it look like he was kneeling and sliding about ten steps to express his respect and loyalty to his godfather.
"It's a pity that my godfather didn't wait for our glory!"
Zhou Yi walked forward slowly and sat down on the chair slowly. Perhaps it was due to his exquisite workmanship or perhaps due to his psychological effects. He just felt comfortable and happy from the inside out.
After two dynasties, our family has become a figure in the palace!
"Gentlemen and seniors, please take a seat. Back then, we were on duty as palace guards, thanks to your care. Today, I have gained His Majesty's trust and am in charge of the first prison, and I still need your help."
"Thank you, Lord Admiral!"
Eunuch Wen and others are all old men in the palace, so they know the rules, but they cannot let a few compliments make them forget their identities.
Everyone was smiling when they were sitting on the left and right. The seats of the supervisor were more comfortable than those in the study or kitchen!
Seeing this situation, Zhou Yi felt that human nature was wonderful.
When I was eating in the kitchen and studying in the study, I often complimented Eunuch Wen and Eunuch Shen. At that time, I was sincere and sincere, but I didn't get any response.
Now there is no sincerity anymore, everyone is taking advantage of each other, and instead they are in harmony!
"Mr. Wen, thank you for your guidance."
Zhou Yi said: "You ask Eunuch Xu to accept us. Only with the blessing of our godfather can we live in peace in the palace!"
"Our family has long been surprised by the Admiral-sama's skeleton, so we just did it casually."
Eunuch Wen changed his tone and sighed: "Later, we fell in love with a junior again, but we never thought that he had evil intentions and actually harmed people in the name of our family. He was kicked out of the door a few days ago!"...
Zhou Yi asked: "Could it be Xiao Guizi?"
"indeed."
Eunuch Wen said: "Xiao Guizi gave Eunuch Zhu money and framed the admiral to go to the cold palace. He suffered retribution a few days ago. His true energy was reversed and his meridians were severed and he died!"
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could hear several meanings in one sentence.
The first person to bear the brunt is Eunuch Zhu, the governor of the capital and the godfather of Zhou Yi. Because of Xiao Guizi's incident, he will definitely be a life and death enemy in the future.
The second is that Xiao Guizi's death is a petition for Eunuch Wen, which may contain some threats.
How many magical skills have these old guys practiced? Maybe
His true energy is far inferior to Zhou Yi, but he is not easily beaten to death.
After all, this is a palace, so we can't fight. If we demolish the study today and the kitchen tomorrow, wouldn't it be a loss of His Majesty's face? In the end, both sides will suffer!
What’s more, no one in the palace can be trusted!
Zhou Yi reconciled with Xiao Guizi, but when his backer Eunuch Xu fell, Xiao Guizi framed him.
"This may be Eunuch Wen's suggestion, let us do something to eradicate the root cause. Only if the person is completely dead can we avoid future troubles!"
"For example, those guys outside, we have been left out in the cold today. If we fail to ensure that one day we lose power, we will be in trouble. Of course, this also includes these old guys in the palace..."
Another thing is that I suddenly realized that it is no wonder that the prefect did not like the old guy before, but promoted his godson.
Although the godson is young, he may not be able to do things well, but he can manage to be loyal. The old people in the palace have long seen it through, and they will never hesitate to be ruthless no matter how hard they try to win over him!
Zhou Yi's mind was racing, and he made all kinds of speculations in an instant. This was also a necessary skill for making a living in the palace. Those whose brains were slow would have died long ago.
Thinking of this, he asked with a smile.
"Sir, you are cleaning up the house like this, and you are quite a scholar. Which position do you prefer as the palace supervisor?"
The real drama is here.
Eunuch Wen's cloudy eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "We have been taught at home for more than 20 years, and our handwriting is pretty good. Why not make a book to record documents?"
When the other old eunuchs heard this, their expressions remained unchanged, but their ears were raised to listen to Zhou Yi's words.
"Very good, very suitable!"
Zhou Yi shouted to the outside: "Eunuch Miao, come in, we have something to ask."
Eunuch Miao, who was waiting quietly outside the door, did not dare to make any resistance. Disobeying the order was a serious crime and could be beaten to death on the spot.
He bowed his body and entered the hall. When he was about ten steps closer to the Book of Changes, his knees were already close to the ground. It seemed that he had slid all the way to kneel in front of him, and he kowtowed.
"This servant pays homage to the Admiral, and wishes the Admiral that he will be as blessed as the flowing water of the East China Sea, and that he will live as long as the immortal pine in the Southern Mountains!"
This guy dares to curse our family with a short life. He deserves to die!
Zhou Yi asked with a smile but not a smile: "Eunuch Miao, my family heard that you have been greedy for a lot of money?"
"This is slander!"
Eunuch Miao quickly quibbled: "Our family has never been corrupt. Admiral, you have to make the decision for me."
"Our family will never wrong any good person."
Zhou Yi said: "In order to notarize Mr. Miao's innocence, our family will let people search their residence. If there is no corruption, the person who falsely accused him will be beaten to death!"
"ah……"
Eunuch Miao's face turned pale. He didn't know that he had won the lottery and would definitely die if he were searched.
The eunuch was physically disabled and could not work as a human being. He was short of money, power and sex, so he was far more greedy for the first two than ordinary people to make up for what he was missing.
A small part of the gold, silver and jewelry acquired from greed was stored in the palace outside the palace, and most of them were hidden in the residence for easy access at any time.
Some eunuchs who loved gold and silver as much as their lives cast the stolen gold and silver into bricks and spread them on their beds. They had to lie on the gold and silver every day before they could fall asleep.
Zhou Yi said coldly: "What? Eunuch Miao doesn't dare to let people search him?"
Eunuch Miao knew that he could not escape, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"Our family has become obsessed with lard and has indeed become greedy for some gold and silver. We are willing to dedicate all of it to the Admiral..."
96.
