Chapter Fifty-Six: The Bricks Continued (I'm so sad.) )
There were three beds in the room, and on all three beds there was a eunuch sleeping, all of whom were about fifty years old.
Ma Wenbing asked softly, "Which of the three is Grandpa Cui?"
The light was dim and difficult to see, and Xiang walked over to the first person and looked at it, shaking her head.
Then he looked at the two neighbors and shook his head, and then looked at the third one, and he still shook his head.
"None of the three are Grandpa Cui, he's not here. Xiang said disappointedly.
The room is not big, there is a very door, bending down to pass through.
Ma Wenbing opened the door gently, listened to the movement quietly, poked his head out and looked, dumbfounded!
In the corridor of Nuoda, there are no less than a hundred such room numbers, just like the pigsty in the TV in Ma Wenbing's mind.
How can this palace keep so many eunuchs? If you go to find them one by one, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At the same time, Xiang and Liu Ling'er were shocked, Xiang had never been to this kind of place, how did she know that the eunuch's house was like this?
The three of them looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and they were all silent, but they all knew what Petts meant.
In the end, it was Ma Wenbing who said decisively: "Stun one first, take it out, and then torture it." ”
Xiang and Liu Ling'er nodded.
Ma Wenbing chose one casually, although he was very sympathetic to the plight of those eunuchs on the bed, their lives were not as good as dogs, but for the sake of incense, he could only do it, and he didn't need his life.
"Smack......
Ma Wenbing got down and slapped the bricks on the eunuch's head, and knocked the eunuch unconscious on the spot.
That eunuch didn't think of sleeping and this kind of "treatment"? Maybe he thought it was in a dream.
Ma Wenbing, Xiang and Liu Ling'er moved the eunuch out with great care, and then made the tunnel, just like three ants carrying a cockroach, the movements were very light and very sharp.
Ma Wenbing pulled his armpits in front, and Xiang and Liu Ling'er pushed in the back.
"Isn't it bad for us to do that?"
Xiang said suddenly, there is always a feeling that this practice is a bit inhumane.
"It's done, don't do this. Ma Wenbing replied: "If you want to find evidence, you must find Grandpa Cui, and now you can't find Grandpa Cui and can only ask him." ”
"Then what if he doesn't know where Gonggong Cui is?" asked Xiang again.
Ma Wenbing replied: "Whether he knows it or not, he still has to send him back, otherwise if a eunuch is missing, he will still be shocked." ”
Xiang said with a smile: "No, there are often missing eunuchs in the palace, suicides, and those who escape and are often arrested and executed, so they will not startle the snake." ”
......
Ma Wenbing, Xiang and Liu Ling'er quickly moved the eunuch over the entrance of the cave in the woods behind the palace.
Ma Wenbing first found a tree vine and tied the eunuch to the tree, and when he woke up, he could only stare dryly.
Then the three of them just waited quietly.
The bright moonlight was sprinkled in the woods, the breeze was blowing slightly, Ma Wenbing and the three of them were very happy, and smiled at each other, this time the brick moving operation was very successful.
After a short time, the eunuch woke up, touched his still painful head and didn't know what was happening, and when he looked up, he saw that instead of lying on the bed, there were three people with six eyes staring at him tightly.
"Am I in a dream?"
The eunuch closed his eyes and opened them again, and the scene he saw was still exactly the same.
"You're not in a dream, you're in the woods. Ma Wenbing told him very seriously.
It must be serious, and he will not be afraid if he is not serious.
Xiang said: "Don't worry, as long as you answer our questions honestly, you are safe, and you will still lie in your bed when you wake up." ”
......
The eunuch was a little confused, "Who are you? I have been a eunuch for decades, and I have never offended anyone? Can you three let me know who you are? Let me die and die." ”
"I'm here, you answer our questions honestly and keep you safe. Xiang said again.
The eunuch was sweet-mouthed, and asked half-frightened, half-frightened: "What questions, I will answer them honestly." ”
Xiang was relieved, thought about it and asked first: "Is the flower lady in the palace okay?
The eunuch was shocked, the man in black who was asking in front of him knew so clearly, but his words were a little inappropriate, how could Niang Niang give birth? That was an old sow, didn't you know that Xiang was doing this on purpose.
"Dihua Niangniang is very good now, the mother and son are safe, but she is not a son, she is a princess. The eunuch replied.
"Princess, hehe, the princess is so ......" Xiang smiled in her heart, the difference between this son and the princess is huge, which directly leads to the future status of the earth flower girl, it can be seen that she is calculating in the end?
But she can't cancel out her sins just because she gave birth to a princess, and incense won't cheapen her.
"Is Dihua Niangniang still living in the Hundred Flowers Palace now?" Xiang then asked, when she left the palace, the Dihua Niangniang lived in the Hundred Flowers Palace.
The eunuch shook his head and replied, "No, Dihua Niangniang now lives in Qingshou Palace"
Qingshou Palace is a little more advanced than Baihua Palace, and Xiang knows that this flower lady must have been promoted, and her status is different, and her residence has changed, which is the rule of the harem.
Xiang then asked, "Which room does Grandpa Cui live in, tell me quickly." ”
"Grandpa Rui, he lives in room 056. ”
Xiang Ming is Grandpa Cui, and the eunuch replied to Grandpa Rui, but neither of them found it surprised, and it may be a huge hidden danger, because Grandpa Rui is a celebrity next to the old queen mother, and if he has something, it will directly hurt the old queen mother.
Xiang listened to the eunuch's words and stood up, walked to Ma Wenbing's side, and turned his back to the eunuch.
"I've finished asking, and I know where Grandpa Cui is, we can send him back. ”
Ma Wenbing nodded, took the bricks in his hand, and smiled at Xiangxiang, but he didn't see Ma Wenbing's sneer when he covered it.
"Smack......
As soon as the bricks were moved, the eunuch fainted again.
Ma Wenbing, Xiang and Liu Ling'er untied the vines from the eunuch's body and carried him towards the cave.
Soon, the three black-clothed men and a eunuch returned to the room just now, and then put the eunuch back on the bed just now, and when he woke up, he probably didn't believe that he had suffered two bricks.
Open the door, Ma Wenbing and the three of them came out in turn, and there was a number on the door, and the number of this room was 074, and the purpose of remembering this number was to remember the way back.
The room number on the right side of the hallway is getting bigger, so room 056 should be on the left.
So Ma Wenbing and the three of them walked to the left, and the room number was reduced according to the order of the room, but when 057 was found, the three of them were dumbfounded, and the room number behind was 055, and there was no room 056!
What is the situation? How could such a crucial number be missing? Could it be that the eunuch is lying?!
At this time, Liu Ling'er saw that there was a room opposite, with bamboo on the left and right, which was very quiet.
"Could that room be room 056?" asked Liu Ling'er suspiciously.
Ma Wenbing and Xiang also looked at it, that room was very quiet, much taller than the house here, it was really hard to believe.
However, dead horses can only be used as live horse doctors, and there is no better way here.
Tumbling over the wooden railing, walking a dozen steps to the house, there is a sign "056" at the door.
Ouch, this Grandpa Cui can be mixed up, and he is also a wealthy man, either he is greedy or dirty, or he will get a great reward that the master likes.
The door was closed, but it was not locked, and the eunuch's door was not locked, probably because the eunuch's room was a place of three drums.
The noble sons and ladies will not patronize, the responsible Ouchi guards will not patronize, and the lonely palace maids will not patronize......
Ma Wenbing, Xiang and Liu Ling'er pushed the door away, and gently closed the door, the physical room was still very spacious, and there were many lights to illuminate the room.
First of all, it should be a living room, very similar to the living room of the people's house, I didn't expect this Cui Gonggong to have guests to visit?
There was no one in the room, there was a cloth curtain on the left and right, and there was an inner room inside, and Ma Wenbing and the three of them approached the cloth curtain with great fear.
Father-in-law Cui was probably in that inner room, Ma Wenbing lifted a gap in the curtain and looked inside, there was a big bed, and there was no one.
This Gonggong Cui hasn't come back yet? Ma Wenbing thought so.
Ma Wenbing and Xiangliu Ling'er entered the inner room, and there was a faint smell of burning incense, but it was much better than the smell of the rooms in those corridors.
There are some furnishings in the inner room, but not much, some are valuable, but not very valuable, there is a bookshelf, there are not many books, there is a book table, there is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the bedding on the bed is neatly folded.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps approaching outside the door, and the sound of the door opening, someone must have come in.
Ma Wenbing looked around and pulled Xiang and Liu Ling'er to the back of the bookshelf, although it was not big, as long as the people who came were not paying much attention, they could hide three Rao.
Liu Ling'er Xiang hid inside, Ma Wenbing was the outermost, even if he found it, he would definitely be the first to find him, but it shouldn't be a big problem to move bricks for him later.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and now the living room was back and forth for a while, what should be something.
After a while, Ma Wenbing saw him come in with a kettle, it turned out that he was boiling water just now.
The person who came to Rao was about sixty years old, and he was in very good spirits, and the eunuch clothes were relatively ...... It's almost the same as an official uniform, it's a big eunuch, and the big eunuch is also an official.
Ma Wenbing's three people will deliberately descend to the maximum, listening carefully to his movements, because the incense is inside, she can't see that Rao's appearance, this is Ma Wenbing's mistake, but who can think so much in a hurry?
The chief eunuch first poured himself a glass of water, stretched, walked to the bookshelf, took a book, walked to the bedside and began to read.
The eunuch reads books, this is a literate eunuch, but the lonely eunuch life, it is not surprising to read books to pass the time.
When this person was this person, a person came outside the house, a eunuch, because the clothes were the same as the eunuch who Ma Wenbing stunned.
The eunuch entered the room and said, "My lord, my mother has no appetite recently, and I want my lord to find someone who can be a cook." ”
"Which mother? You know, there are too many mothers. The eunuch who read the book asked, the ladies in this palace are about to catch up with the number of eunuchs, and it is becoming more and more difficult to serve, so more eunuchs must be recruited.
"Lord Hui, it's the flower girl. ”
"Oh, I know, where do I find a cook for her now? You go to the high-speed lady, this food competition is about to start, I will choose the good cook from the contestants, let the lady endure a few." ”
"Yes, the one stepped back first. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
"There are so many things about this, either this lady wants to change her clothes, or that lady wants to add a maid, and now she wants to change the cook, this thing is always endless, hey......" The old eunuch kept muttering.
"This Grandpa Cui's official position is really not, Xiang, I'll go out now and stun him, you two don't move here, wait for my good news." ”
When Ma Wenbing was about to go out to act, Xiang immediately stopped him softly, just now I saw from the gap that this was not Grandpa Cui, but the eunuch in charge of the lord Rui, who was liked by the old queen mother, and couldn't do anything to this eunuch, feeling: "It's not this, this is Grandpa Rui, it's the eunuch in charge, you can't fight, you can't have an accident." ”
Ma Wenbing nodded, just now I have been wondering how this old man can live in such a wealthy house, it turns out that he is the chief eunuch, which is not surprising.
Unfortunately, the quiet voices of Xiang and Ma Wenbing were heard by Grandpa Rui, the small inner room was very quiet, and the eunuch's hearing was extremely keen, so the slightest sound could not escape Ma Wenbing's ears.
After hearing the voice, Father-in-law Rui walked over slowly, very puzzled, but the old eyes were dizzy and not very clear, and he had to walk very close to see it, when he looked at Ma Wenbing with wide eyes, Ma Wenbing held a brick to his head, and smiled.
"Smack!"
Ma Wenbing had no choice but to do it this time, if he hadn't come over, Ma Wenbing wouldn't have stunned him, and he would sneak out after he fell asleep.
Father-in-law Rui is like a fallen tree, falling down heavily, he is already very old, and this time I am afraid that his life span will be reduced by one year.
Ma Wenbing, Xiang and Liu Ling'er came out from behind the bookcase, kindly carried Grandpa Rui to the bed, and then sneaked out.
Since Gonggong Cui was not found, there was no more time to delay here, and after a short discussion between the three of them, they planned to go back first and return to the inn to find a way.
......
Ming, the sun shines on the earth, as bright as gold, the sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and it is a good atmosphere.
When Ma Wenbing woke up from the bed, he found that he was the only one, and the bed next to him was empty, and the master didn't know where he had gone? When he came back last night, he saw the master lying on the bed, could it be that he had gone out for morning exercises? The master did not have the habit of morning exercises.
Ma Wenbing got out of bed, came to the door of Xiang and Liu Ling'er's room, and knocked on the door gently.
