Chapter 130: If you shoot him an arrow, I'll beat you
At noon, many yamen near Donghua Gate were on a lunch break. Although most of the major yamen have kitchens, and there is a ration of rice, vegetables, vegetables and meat every month, the taste is really not very good, except for those Beijing officials who are really too poor, the rest of the people inevitably go out to forage for food.
Therefore, from around noon, there are constantly people coming out of the gates of each yamen, gradually scattering into several adjacent wide and narrow alleys, and as the flow of people disperses, the Donghuamen Street where these yamen are located gradually deserted.
Even those protΓ©gΓ©s and guards and the like, at such times, mostly slipped into corners and snoozed.
So, when a young man with an ordinary appearance and inconspicuous from head to toe entered the office of the celebrant and eunuch, it was natural that he did not attract any attention. However, it was not true that there was no movement at all, because as soon as the man crossed the threshold of the celebrant, a black shadow like lightning suddenly swooped down.
However, just when the shiny fangs were clearly visible, two concise words burst out of Ah Liu's mouth: "Sit down!" β
In an instant, the black dog, which was more than half a man tall, suddenly stopped. It flicked its tail a little suspiciously, but when it met Ah Liu's faint eyes, it seemed to have recovered some memories of the past, and after whining twice, it actually sat down, and when the hand rubbed its head, it actually snorted comfortably and lay down directly.
Lu Chan, who came out when he heard the sound, was simply taken aback when he saw this scene. Not to mention outsiders, even he, the celebrant who is stationed outside the palace every day, has never enjoyed such intimate treatment from Black Moon. He stared at the person suspiciously for a long time, and when he saw Ah Liu walking in as if no one was around, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"You ......"
Lu Chan, who hadn't had time to ask, saw a sign that was shown with the young man's right hand, and immediately shut up. That was the kind of person he remembered clearly, and Chu Kuan had specially instructed him to be cautious, so after giving way, he immediately turned around and quickly caught up, and found that the person who came had disappeared in an instant, so he hurriedly rushed inside.
What the hell is this evil star for? It just so happens that Chu Kuan is here, don't come for this celebrant to write it, right?
Ah Liu ignored the panicked Lu Chan at this time, he was familiar with the shuttle in this small yamen, and stood at the doors and windows of the house from time to time, but he didn't stop at all, let alone peek in through the cracks in the doors and windows.
For this place, of course, he can't go wrong with his eyes closed. Because he had been here for more than a year, he was only a little bit castrated and sent to the palace to become a royal attendant.
He met Hua Qi after escaping the killing of horse thieves in the desert, and then saw that under the knife of that madman, those ferocious horse thieves were beheaded one by one, and when he proposed to learn martial arts afterwards, Hua Qi proposed that quid pro quo. When he agreed, he had already accepted the result, but he didn't expect that his life would deviate later.
For the eunuch who is only a little bit away from becoming a normal person, Ah Liu can't talk about hating it now, and he doesn't want to recall, and now that he is back, he doesn't have the meaning of catching up with his acquaintance Lala, who may still be in the master of ceremonies.
At this moment, he quickly entered the door in the backyard, but happened to meet a man dressed as a handyman. The two sides looked at each other, and when they saw the other party, they immediately lowered their heads and hurried away, but the corners of his mouth hooked, and he took a direct step and blocked the way. The man still didn't raise his head, but only took a step in the other direction, but Ah Liu also took a step in the same way.
It wasn't until the moment when he was blocked again that the handyman raised his head as if he couldn't hold his breath, and asked in a hoarse voice: "I have something important to do, get out of the way!" β
Ah Liu didn't say a word, just looked directly into the other party's eyes lightly, and it wasn't until the person was busy avoiding his eyes that he said coldly: "I knew that you were here." β
The purpose of his return was clear. The person who sent the sword to threaten Zhang Shou, he would definitely not find it on his own, but the assassin who appeared in Cuiyun before, when he picked up the arrow, he vaguely had a judgment, feeling that it was very similar to a certain archery he was good at. That's a kind of archery technique commonly used in the imperial front guards, Hua Qi is very good at it, and he is also good at it!
If that's the case, maybe you can get some gains when you go to the celebrant and the outer office. But he didn't expect to bump into the main owner!
Seeing that the man's complexion changed greatly, but his head was kicked silently, Ah Liu directly met it as if nothing happened, and when the two legs touched, the panic that the miscellaneous man pretended to be at the beginning immediately turned into extreme pain, and he couldn't even stand still, and he stumbled and fell to the ground. Faced with this scene, the young man who described it as cold laughed.
"How does it taste?"
almost felt that the kick he just now was kicked on the iron plate, and the handyman was naturally so painful that he couldn't speak, let alone answer Ah Liu's question, even if he knew that the other party was asking about what it was like to kick the iron leggings on the human legs. It wasn't until Ah Liuyi picked up his collar and his eyes burst out with undisguised killing intent that he couldn't help but snort.
He had already recognized Ah Liu, and he knew how ruthless this kid was, so he hurriedly shouted with a strong spirit: "I was just ordered to ...... that time"
Ah Liu directly tightened his five fingers and pinched off the words behind his head, and asked coldly, "Who?" β
How dare the miscellaneous man tell the truth, but when he was in a hurry, he only felt that the pressure in his throat was getting bigger and bigger, as if the next moment, he would be choked off his neck. In a panic, thinking that although the other party was not in the palace, he seemed to be Hua Qi's apprentice, and it was definitely not easy to prevaricate, so he immediately tried his best to burst out four words: "It's the second prince!" β
Finding that the strong force disappeared suddenly, he had just breathed a sigh of relief, who would have thought that his throat would be pinched by Ah Liu again, and at the same time, he was greeted by two cold words: "Lie!" β
I don't know how Ah Liu judged, but the miscellaneous man couldn't defend himself at all. He only felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and Venus appeared in front of him, as if he would suffocate to death in the next moment, but his desperate struggle did not bring any trouble to his opponent, and he did not even alarm others, as if only the cold knife-like gaze of the young man on the other side was left between heaven and earth.
It wasn't until he thought he was going to die that the hand finally let go again. Falling to the ground, he barely supported his body with his hands, gasping for breath, only to feel that every breath he inhaled was like a rain, but then, he felt that his hair was pulled up by someone in a desperate situation.
Forced to raise his head, he couldn't help but shudder when he saw the pitch-black pupils.
"Do you want to come again?"
Knowing that the meaning of these simple five words is that if you resist stubbornly, the bad scene just now will be repeated again and again, and the miscellaneous man is finally horrified. Even if he had experienced a harsh interrogation before, the fear of dying at any time at this time was not inferior to torture.
Thinking that he had confessed once in front of the emperor, and now that Ah Liu came again, maybe the emperor couldn't believe his words, so he sent someone over to ask again, if he resisted stubbornly, maybe he would really die, and he could only whisper at the moment: "It's Princess Yongping...... But that was just to get angry with Miss Zhu and scare Dr. Zhang, not to take his life......"
This time, his explanation was also not finished, because in an instant, he was dragged up by Ah Liu, and the whole person was thrown onto one side of the wall like a cloud, and then he saw Ah Liu also scurrying over, dragging him again at a high place, and he was gently and skillfully carried to the next yard.
Realizing that someone might have broken into the courtyard just now, the handyman couldn't be sure what kind of order Ah Liu had gotten, so he hurriedly explained in a low voice: "The emperor already knows, so he just punished me to leave the palace to do miscellaneous work here!" β
In just one sentence, Ah Liu had already confirmed that this person was indeed a close attendant who learned martial arts after being castrated and then served in the palace. He raised his eyebrows and didn't ask again, but suddenly punched him hard, hitting the other party directly in the stomach. And before the man could howl miserably, he stuffed a rag into it like lightning and gagged the other man's mouth.
"If you shoot him, I'll beat you!"
After Ah Liu said this, he unceremoniously punched and kicked up. When he finally heard a low cry behind him, he stopped and stood up straight.
Chu Kuan, who had just been called over by Lu Chan, only glanced at the unlucky guy who was on the ground, and his eyes fell on Ah Liu, who did not look back, but he was thinking about the words he had just heard. Until he saw the young man turn around and walk towards him, he was about to say something, but when Ah Liu passed by his side, he whispered a word.
"I've heard a madman say that the royal servants only listen to the imperial decree, is this a change in the rules?"
Seeing that Ah Liu left these words, Chu Kuan looked at the guy on the ground who couldn't climb up at all, and couldn't help but have a headache. He didn't deal with this little guy much, he only knew that he was almost a dumb person back then, but Hua Qi's unscrupulous energy, now he has learned seven or eight points.
The guy in front of him claimed to be acting on the orders of Princess Yongping, according to the laws of the inner court, the imperial servants did not act on their own without following the imperial order, of course, there was only one dead word, but the emperor didn't kill him, but after torture, he was directly thrown to the outer office of the celebrant eunuch, what could he do? He also thinks this potato is hot!
Although Princess Yongping is lonely and self-admiring, she is a little out of place and high, and she likes to make a name for herself in Shilin, but she is not so stupid!
If Ah Liu had killed this guy just now, he would have saved trouble!
